Oh no snother bad trend "going viral".

Ive been infprmed that the "coat" of hair on the dog in my photograph is natural for its breed. although I dont know the name of that [articular breed

Post by: Michael West on April 14, 2013, 04:58:49 pm: it appears that there is a breed in which that sort of "coat" is the norm and not an affectation as I had assumed.

on looking for info on that sort of "coat" i encountered what has to be an even more seemingly exaggerated version of same

the title of his photo also assumed that tjhe dog had had its hair braided. oddly enough.
