Poodles turned to PANDA and Lion by Artist!!

In Hershey, Mrs Eld-Weaver and Dobby have arrived after an eight hour flight from London, but they can't go to bed - there's still hours of preparation required before the poodle can appear in front of the judges.

To win the Judge's Award, Dobby will need to be perfect, complete with a clean, fluffed-up coat, a flawless dye job and a haircut that Nicky Clarke would be proud of.

But not everything can be done beforehand: points are awarded for the transformation achieved in front of the judges, and most of the cutting work has to be done on stage in front of the Grooming Expo's 5,000 visitors.
