Pooch Perfect

[MyBeloved]

Anyone been watching? It is a nice bit of feel-good telly, just what's needed in these stressful times :)

Me and dd9 love it. Something we can watch together after a stressful day of home schooling 🙄

Would an 8 year old enjoy it do you think? He likes dogs!

We’re watching it now, we watched it last week as well, my only criticism was the ratio of human to dog was all wrong, more dog please!

Wow, eleven dogs

I'm not a doggie person at all , but I am enjoying this.
It's come in for some criticism over the time aspect of grooming the dogs against the clock (I did read online. )
The dogs seem happy enough though.
Sheridan is very cute. The male judge reminds me of Russell Grant!
The dogs are very well behaved generally.

I like this, and this week there is a mini schnauzer puppy.

My mini is 6 today. and needs a haircut

Started watching it last week because it was on before Death in Paradise. Ended up enjoying it. A new guilty pleasure.

Yes, definantly.

Coincidentally- having a schnauzer- I've just seen that the groomer doing the one on the show is very local to where I live.

It is nice to watch a family show.
Sheridan's dog that does the acting is lovely.

Stanley is amazing.

My dog would never co-operate. (unless maybe cheese was involved).

Mine wouldn’t co-operate either, but then we have the terrible combo of slightly older puppy and being a shiba inu

Can’t believe they’re scraping the barrel with this tripe.

Whenever I take my cocker spaniel in for grooming I just get them to shave everything off. None of this "breed standard" stuff 😂 Practicality all the way for me!

Some of them look ridiculous. What are the reasons for it?

One trip through the muddy woods round here would sort that dog out!

Aww- the schnauzer! (biased). I prefer salt and pepper ones, but he is lovely.

LOVE this show. I did read people complained it was animal cruelty but they seem to have really looked after the dogs 🐶

Ah, I am so glad you all (well, except you, NoCauseRebel!) are enjoying this too. Yes, it is easy; no, it isn't rocket science - but it is lovely and cosy watching in challenging times.

The puppies were simply gorgeous 😍 That Bichon Frise and the miniature poodle were so unbelievably cute!

I'd love a mini schnauzer,- they are one of my favourite breeds.

I had to google Bedlingtons after watching this. Why on earth would you do that to a dog? They look ridiculous!

I dipped in and out and thought Sheridan was staggeringly awful. She came across as entirely inauthentic and all the bits of business between her and her “naughty” co-presenter were so clunky.
It was 20 minutes of potential feel-good telly stretched on the rack to fill the minutes.
It is understandably reaching for fey, whimsical warmth but missing for me. I can see all the elements should be there but it isn’t hanging together yet.

Loved the dogs, but I won’t be watching again.
They say never work with children or animals and I wonder whether shooting this is a nightmare and it’s affected Sheridan. She’s a good actor I believe, but the warmth, humour and rapport seem so forced in this.

The writing for SS is abysmal but we’re enjoying the concept as my kids are dog daft!
