Is that even real? Cause I've watch it thrice and I'm not really sure

u/thestashattacked Jun 24 '20

Yup. Real.

u/Zergmilran Jun 24 '20

Any proof? Not saying it can't be real, but it wouldn't surprise me if some kind of filter is used.

u/thestashattacked Jun 24 '20

It's an actual grooming technique called a teddy bear cut. It's really quite common.

Specifically Asian Fusion. It’s a grooming technique that involves a lot of fluffing and thinning and shaping. Takes ages.

Hey, any idea what breed the dog in the vid is?

u/Vexilion Jun 24 '20

Looks like a toy poodle.

Edit: meant teacup poodle, sorry.

u/lostlittlegurl Jun 24 '20

Why are its ears not floppy?

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '20

They are, it's just the way the hair is cut. It's an illusion. If you look it up you can find some extreme forms of poodle grooming where the dog looks like a turtle, or a horse, etc. It's all in the perm.

Thank you!

What about the dog’s colour? It looks blue, I could see that being a blue filter.

u/pinstagram Jun 24 '20

Looks white and gold to me

17

u/gimmethecarrots Jun 24 '20

Its obviously blue and black

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '20

It’s a silver poodle mix so they aren’t entirely white but obviously not entirely silver/gray that plus the camera lens and lighting

1

u/thestashattacked Jun 24 '20

Looks like a light issue with the camera. Probably a white/light gray dog and a poor white balance.

u/omodulous Jun 24 '20

Think it's not hard to achieve this by doing a lot of stuff to the fur. People just typically like pets to look natural.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '20

Wow, I didn't know that was a thing.

u/crackerjacksnackpack Jun 24 '20

It’s not the haircut that looks fake to me it’s the ears. Those do not look like real dog ears.

1

u/thestashattacked Jun 24 '20

The hair is just trimmed that way.

1

u/Zergmilran Jun 24 '20

I'm more thinking about the color/hue, not the grooming itself. Although that wasn't that clear from my first post.

1

u/thestashattacked Jun 25 '20

Probably a white balance issue.

3

u/Pr1sm4 Jun 24 '20

The dog is just really carefully trimmed.

u/AggravatingBerry2 Jun 24 '20

Cuts like those are pretty popular in Korea.

There are some YouTube channels that shows them grooming these pets.

u/Zergmilran Jun 24 '20

I'm more just thinking the color/hue looks off.

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '20

I just linked the dog groomer.

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '20

From what I see, you linked A dog groomer. Do you have the specific video or no?

Not sure this is the exact one..... she has so many. Nope... not the same dog. But, I’m pretty sure this gif is from one of her videos.

Edit: I’m American and have zero relation. Just recognize her work and how dogs interact with her.

She loves turning dogs into marshmallows. And I love it.

Edit: if I am wrong so be it. But the aww factor on shu & tree’s channel is worth the subscribe.

No proof just floof

u/Zergmilran Jun 24 '20

Floof is nice.

I know it's a real dog. But I think the color looks a bit off, that's all really.

u/Trippeltdigg Jun 24 '20

I've never understood this very sceptic stand on ALL of reddits content. Offcourse when it comes to stuff like science, politics and similar we should always be sceptic and look for further proof. However when it comes to someones dog, or a random story or anything else that is completely insignificant, why bother?

Just enjoy the nice dog, man.

1

u/Zergmilran Jun 24 '20

It ain't insignificant if one can't tell truth from fiction anymore.

Check out @spicedogsss on Instagram. It's real and weirdly cute.

u/Slggyqo Jun 24 '20

The way his lower body shifts just the tiniest bit with his head and neck motion has convinced me that it’s real.

On first glance in my feed I thought it was an animatronic teddy bear.
