Dog groomer transforms her poodles into crazy multicoloured creations with vegan dye
A DOG groomer shows why her five pet poodles are truly to dye for.
Leslie Burgreen Waldrep, 39, applies crazy designs on her hounds using non-toxic vegan dye.
In two hours they are transformed into tropical birds, polar bears and characters in movie Lady and the Tramp.
Mum-of-two Leslie, from Sheffield, Alabama, US, said: “My dogs absolutely love it and they’re more pampered than any dogs I know.
“It takes a special dog to be a creative dog. If my dogs didn’t love it then there’s no way I would do it.
“They jump on the table and have taught themselves to lay there and let me apply the dye, sometimes they fall asleep.
“I don’t keep them on the table longer than two hours because that’s how long it takes for a standard groom anyway so I wouldn’t expect them to stay on the table any longer.”
Leslie started creative grooming seven years ago and competing in contest five years ago with her pack of poodles, Sterling, 7, Remington, 4, Secret, 3, Regal, 4, and Rhyme, seven months.

Leslie has taken part in over five competitions and has been nominated for creative groomer of the year four times.
Leslie said: “Grooming, extreme or normal is a true blessing and working with dogs is my passion.
“Seeing the smile on children’s faces when they see one of my dogs is an amazing reward.”
