The Japanese are now Grooming their Dogs to look like Cubes

a blog by Big Red

Just when you think the Japanese can't get any weirder, they go ahead and do something like this shit. While I must say it it's hard to look away from these cube shaped cuties, this shit is fucked up. 

The Independent - People are cutting their dogs’ fur into perfect cubes, in the latest dog hairdressing trend to sweep Asia.

The eccentric look is all about precision and clean lines as owners painstakingly trim their animals’ fur into perfect squares.

​It is not known where the inspiration for the trend originated, but the look has been cropping up at dog shows around Asia in recent months.

Hairdresser Tain Yeh, who runs a parlour in Taipei told the Daily Mail: “It came about because people were always looking for more impressive haircuts, and somebody came up with the idea of shaping the dog like a hedge.”

She explained of the unusual look: “The dogs don’t mind, and the owners keep coming back for more. This sort of haircut needs a lot more maintenance than the regular type.”

She warned that the look isn’t one which works for all dogs and has this advice for any British dog owners seeking to emulate the slick cubes: “It is also not suitable for all breeds. The dog needs to have plenty of hair to play around with so that you can shape it around the face and body.”

I know what you guys are thinking, that first picture the dog does not look real. But I did a little detective work, and by that I mean I typed  in "dogs that look fake" on google. I happened to find a picture of what this dog looked like before the haircut, and if this doesn't prove its real then I'm a shitty detective. 

I'll say this, the cube looks a lot more appealing then this ugly ass lion look. This dog would look so much better with just a normal haircut. This poor thing must hate life. Everyone always looking at him and laughing. I put this in the animal cruelty category simply because theres no way these dogs enjoy this look. Dogs love to give there ears a little shake, and this cube thing looks uncomfortable as fuck. So fuck the Japanese and fuck this hair dresser.
