Well I have heard it all now! Shaving whiskers?? What's all that about?
I can understand some alterations in the name of perfection for the show circuit but all dogs have whiskers.
Is this something just specific to Bulldogs or all breeds I wonder?
I'm gonna go check the Crufts bulldog entries for this year I wonder if they are whiskerless too :eek:

When I first read the title of the thread I thought, people do that? Then I read more and now I understand because they do it when showing but I still wonder what the purpose of that is. I don't do it to Samson, he has been shaved in certain areas 3 times though but for his 3 surgeries.

Yes. I take Bruno's whiskers off..... Ever since his first photoshoot it was required.
I personally like the look also. They look a lot nicer clean shaved.
They are not cats so they don't need them.

Whiskers do indeed serve a purpose. They are a trigger to close eyes when running through bushes etc..

[MENTION=1104]jortiz9758[/MENTION] yes I was serious lol. Is this not true? Or am I a fool..lol I had heard this years ago and I know whenever I used to touch my labs whiskers he would close his eyes to protect them. He was 18 years old and was blind.

Cutty, Miila and Mugsy the pug :)
If I remember correctly I am pretty sure Cutty's were shaved when we bought him but of course we never kept that up but we also arent into showing either. I dont know the reason to why they do it tho.
