I can tell she isn’t neglected or abused- she was sweet and calm and very happy and affectionate to you and her owner. No signs of being malnourished or abused…she’s just living her life running around outside! What a sweet sweet girl! I love her!

[@khfan4life365]

You can tell she’s used to bathing. Her owners probably groomed her until the fur got out of control, which is not uncommon for double coated dogs. The typical dog owner doesn’t possess the products that Vanessa has.

When I was a kid, we lived on a large property, and our rough collie lived her best life running around that place. If she had a bath, within half an hour her hair would be full of grass seeds, hay, cow poop and mud, and her face would be as happy as could be lol

[@sandyhughes1520]

[@tileux]

Ive had rottweillers for 38 years. A lot of people dont realise that rottweilers are cattle herding dogs. My current boy doesnt have cows to herd so instead he focuses like a lazer on tennis balls. He seems to think it is important to round yp every tennis ball he sees. He can get three in his mouth, although it always worries me when he does that. But if i have a tennis ball in my hand i can get him to do pretty much anything. His focus wont move and he’ll ignore everything, even other dogs. I always say to people who dont have a lot of experience with dogs, ‘find their prime motivator, and use that’ Sometimes people compliment me because i can walk my rottweiller without a leash and he doesnt leave my side (unless i tell him to). What people dont realise is that its because i have a tennis ball in my pocket (i have a squeaky toy in the other but thats not his dominant motivator. It does get his attention though. But ball trumps squeaky toy every time).

To be fair. King Shepherds had the German Shepherd "drive" and "edge" bred out of them. King Shepherds are not working dogs and were bred to be more relaxed and calm

[@dannydarkense5500]

​@@little_swan07 It's possible to love an animal but still neglect it, even if you do so unintentionally. I've worked with rescued dogs and cats and many of them suffered 'abuse through kindness' which is a term for when an owner thinks they are spoiling an animal or treating it well but they are actually doing it a lot of damage. It's unintentional, and it doesn't mean they don't love the animal. They do. But no matter whether it's purposeful or not, their treatment of the animal in question still causes a lot of harm and suffering. :(

The less said about “show lines” German Shepherd’s the better. The U.K. and US kennel clubs need to change the standard back to being this healthy working lines German Shepherd size/shape with healthy rear hips/spine.

[@MaineCoonMama18]

​@Jonathan_Doe_ Uh, all I meant was that she looks as well-groomed as a show dog would be. Rather than dirty like a typical farm dog.

[@WinterLynne94]

@@Jonathan_Doe_ I fully agree, however Smoochie is a King Shepherd. The breed isn't recognized by the AKC, so there is no real breed standard. They are huge, though. Females average between 60-80lbs, while males average between 90-130lbs. The size alone comes with the usual hip and elbow dysplasia, though individuals who suffer from it are in the minority.

[@JiveDadson]

About 13 years ago, I adopted a little dog off the street that was just one solid lump of matting, sort of like a fuzzy bowling ball. When shaved, he turned out to be Havanese. The groomer had to assure me that he was the same dog. He's getting old now, but still a sweetheart.

[@shelleyvanhoy745]

The minute I saw “farm dog”, I understood the 10 shampoos and matting. I lived in farm country for 10 years and those working dogs are outside dogs and always dirty. It’s hard to keep them clean! But they are happy dogs-no judgement here either. You did a beautiful job!

[@JackieOwl94]

Her spine is so straight and minimally slanted down the back end like you see in other GSD’s. She gets great exercise and was definitely well-bred.

[@amandasnider2644]

I think the difference is that she's a King Shepherd which is a German shepherd/Alaskan Malamute and other herding/sledding dog mixes (they vary per breeders I believe) so it's not a pure German shepherd. Definitely agree about the importance of a straight back

[@colettejaques2559]

​@@amandasnider2644yes...as they are abused more often...made to perform at standards that harm there spines, legs and body 😢😢😢😢

[@lanyvy]

please educate yourself before you comment. you are thinking about badly bred gsds. well bred still have some angulation in the back. 'straight-backed' german shepherds are not well bred dogs, and neither are overly 'sloped' back, but they definitely should NOT have a straight back.

[@amandasnider2644]

@zergiew There are breeders that specifically breed their German shepherds to have straight healthy backs. Vanessa (the groomer in the video) has a young all black German shepherd named Lupa whom is one of these dogs. Her breeder specifically breeds black German shepherds whom are smaller in size and straight Backed and ideal for service dog work. A sloped back has become a part of the breed only due to being introduced into the kennel clubs for dog showing. In reality a sloped back has no practical benefit for working/herding dogs which is what German Shepherds were invented for.

[@Chaostheshepherd]

@@amandasnider2644 That's not correct. German shepherds have always had angled backs. they're supposed to be like that as it helps with better movement. You may be able to see some better than others depending on the stack of the dog. Any breeder breeding straight backs are unethical. Vanessa made a video on straight backs and took it down because it was filled with an insane amount of incorrect info and the community told her so. Please go do some more research within the breed before spreading false information on them.

[@texasgirl6000]

Imo that dog was neglected and made to live outside due to the heavy shedding. Hence, the little dog is pampered living indoors, as it's a non shedding breed. I'm sure she loves the dog ( king shepherd ) as it looked healthy other than the extremely neglected grooming, no excuse to let that dog get so matted like that.

[@whynotnofi8278]

@texasgirl6000, go touch some grass and get some perspective. That dog is not neglected. If she had been actually neglected for 10 years her mats would have caused raw oozing wounds on her body.

[@dhbj_cousins]

@@whynotnofi8278there doesn’t have to be wounds to show that the dog was neglected. I understand not getting it done professionally every time but not getting her groomed at all OVER 10 YEARS is INSANE AND NEGLECTFUL

[@meggold3422]

What a beautiful appointment. She was gorgeous and sweet, and you carpeted your floor with her excess fur. Awesome job.

[@linkin0983]

You can tell it makes total sense she was like that for being a farm dog. Really felt the sweetness of her ❤ Definitely not neglected at all as she was nice when groomed, and was so happy to see her owner 😊

[@yaja_nowakowski]

Stunning job! Totally different looking dog by the end. It's like your groom took 10 years off her, revealing her true colors. Well done Vanessa. Her owner was rightly astonished.

[@amyralls6218]

I can't believe how little time (in the long run) it took Vanessa to do this incredible transformation! I suspect the wonderful nature of this darling dog helped in keeping that time short!!

[@Linnet09]

It's unbelievable how much fur came off Princess Smoochie! And she still has lots left. She is so well behaved, and looked like she was actually enjoying the blow dryer at some points. She's a gorgeous dog, especially after her groom.

Yes, that coat is 100% functional, and all the groomer did was remove 100% additional coat and shedding from the last ten years.

[@texasgirl6000]

​@@NoNo_IStay, true.

[@barbaramcmillan3835]

​@@NoNo_IStay It's obvious that the dog was used to the bath and brushing. Ten years of coat would have had her on her knees at least.

Not a neglected dog ???? We don't have the same values, this pour dog IS a shame and I am wondering how is the house and the farm where she lives . This kind of owner should NOT exist !!!

[@BoschMarieke]

@@anniejolu7641nope, not at all neglected. She is gloriously healthy, good natured and a prime example of a herding/farm dog. These kind of sheperds with this coattype are very difficult to wash yourself. Most of the showerheads normal people have arent even powerfull enough to come to the skin because of the richness of the coat. And to dry them afterwards is a whole new nightmare. I’m just hoping it was a shortcoming of perspective from your side….

[@NoNo_IStay]

Owner should be jailed. 10 years not brushing a shepherd (or any dog with a double coat) should be a felony.

[@PaladinDansesGirlfriend]

Yeah, seeing as how she spends more time bleaching and dying her hair instead of her animal - it was def eye opening. If she can’t afford to maintain its health, it’s abuse. She could start by sacrificing her own hair care. Smoothies cleanliness was disgusting and the amount hair that came off was clear neglect.

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

Hurricane Smoochie.

[@Jaessae]

​@@NoNo_IStay You have terrible listening comrpehension. It is stated clearly in the beginning of the video that this is the first *professional* groom in 10 years. She was groomed by her owner, but it was difficult since the dog didn't like to be brushed and howled in the shower. Farm dogs get dirty within five minutes of getting clean, and if you ever handled a long haired double coated dog, you'd know they start compacting and matting just by sitting down sometimes. Even with shorter haired double coated dogs this is present too, though to a lesser extent.

[@Jaessae]

​@@PaladinDansesGirlfriendI'll repeat what I said for the other guy, but you both need to work on your listening comprehension. This is Smoochie's (not "Smoothie") first *professional* groom. She was groomed at home, but she didn't like the brush and , and howled in the shower. But she was groomed. German shepherds were bred to herd sheep. The long coat is to keep them warm while outside and protect them from the elements. Their fur will get matted and compacted even if you do maintain a grooming routine, especially since for some long haired double coated dogs compacting already occurs when they sit down. Obviously her fur was maintained, proven by most of it was just compacting not matting, but if your dog spends most of its time outside working, it will be an uphill battle. She was well tended to, even if she did not look too pretty. But she is not malnourished and obviously well treated and trained from her behaviour and how she loves her owner.
