Do you shave your bullys whiskers off or do you prefer the 'natural' look?

That is one thing I don't understand about show preparation. Why shave their whiskers off? How is that supposed to enhance their look? I reeeeeeeeeeeeally don't get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People cut their bulldog's whiskers? Don't they serve a purpose? I'm confused! :confused:

Trust me, if i can get away with it I will not shave them. I like her little tickles when she comes to sniff. The more I'm learning and reading about the "rules" the more it gets me thinking. :crazy:

That really surprises me. Next dog show I watch on TV I am searching for wiskers and going to yell "DISQUALIFIED" if I see a straggling hair! :lol:

Not really just poking fun. ;)

I did not know that was something that was done. I too would love to show someday in the distant future.... but wow I hope that rule changes by then because that seems a bit odd to me.

When we went to the bully meetup a couple weeks ago they did a demonstration on grooming. It included the grooming specific to showing. She showed us that they shave (using a little electric trim razor) the wiskers and trim the hair inside the ears.

It does seem a bit unnecessary.
