That's the idea! They're supposed to blend in with the sheep so that if the flock gets attacked they can take the attacker by surprise. Also helps that it makes them extremely floofy and precious-looking.
She’s so sweet! Poor girl with all of those ticks-Her owners should have to promise to give her flea and tick medicine monthly before they get Zen back. She deserves that.
I've had a working Great Pyranees and I would never in a million years let her go without flea and tick medication or proper grooming. Like, serioisly, it was the boarding kennel that brought her into the groomers, not her owners.
Our Pyrenees looked like this old girl often, especially when they were older. Laying in straw with their livestock, rolling in the pastures, holes to get cool, wading in a pond or livestock water tub, it is their life. It is what they love to do. Those eyes, that is the soulful eyes of a Pyrenees.
I really hope the owners keep up with their dogs' grooming & care especially when it comes to fleas & ticks! Thank God they brought this adorable girl to Vanessa!!! She's amazing & her behaviour is exemplary!!!💖
Same. Like, I know they are working dogs, but they still need a bare minimum level of care. They aren't farm machinery and I think some farm dog owners forget that 😕 At least trim their nails, put them on a monthly flea/tick preventative, and bathe them at least twice per season to prevent hot spots.
@@jsnsk101Still. At least flea/tick so at least she has a fighting chance at not getting really sick. Per the video, she had a lot of ticks--2 varieties! If the owners are using alternative/natural preventative, it's not working. If they're using nothing, that's wrong. Even working humans have safety standards. I can only assume the complimentary groom was given bcuz the owners don't really see working dogs as "pets"/companions, but as the commenter before me suggested, farm equipment. Some might say "It's the culture" in that farm community, but that's no excuse. They're not machinery or equipment. 😰
@@cheftoni55 not my dog in the video, but mine have the lyme vaccine, plus take nextguard(feed through flea/tick preventative) and a topical from the vet...all they do is prevent most ticks from biting, and prevents them from getting sick if they do get one that bites and latches on. So the owners of this farm dog may very well have them on preventatives, and still be carrying ticks.
My MIL used to groom dogs, and one year when we were out visiting her i helped her groom a very sweet dog that had more than 50 ticks on its head alone. I became very adept at get those rotten buggers off. That poor dog. So sweet though, didn't move a muscle while I tweezed and dunked the ticks into a container of rubbing alcohol. Sadly my MIL told me it wasn't the first time the owner had brought in dogs in poor condition. I hope this lovely senior floof gets tick preventative before she's out and about again. Such a sweet love.
The first thing I noticed was that wise old face and her very expressive eyes. I still smirk at every Happy Hoodie face. Oh, I'll bet getting all that fur, AND all of those ticks off. Ew...I hate ticks! Love the before and after!!!! Great job!
She may be less of a *working* dog and more just continues to hang out and "work" to keep her having a personal purpose. She may also be being used to help train up a younger dog as well
If I saw those before and after pictures separately I'd swear they were different dogs! You achieved an amazing transformation. BTW I admire your courage in dealing with ticks, one of the most horrid creatures on this planet!
What a beautiful old lady. So calm and serene....she certainly lived up to her name. What I don't understand though is why anyone would let her get into such a mess. The ticks and nails could surely have been fixed even if the owners couldn't get a full groom for her. It was wonderful to see you make her more comfortable 💖
She's a farm dog! Even preventatives aren't 100% and working on a farm is a ripe environment for ticks and fleas, even with prevention. Don't be too hard on the owners.
I love that you've been able to take the time to help all these farm dogs whose vids are going up on both channels. Even if they're all confused or a little scared of the process, they all seem to feel so much better at the end of things.
Zen is a beautiful, sweet girl. She behaves so well. Thank you for making her look so pretty! Sugar cookie cologne? Well! She deserves to be pampered!! 🥰🥰
You did a wonderful job, as usual. She was such a good girl. That was incredible. All through the wash, the dry, the nails, the paw pads..all of it. I hope her sister is as good for you.
Okay I'm a Christian too but when you do stuff like this on a site that is not asked for or even the subject matter you turn away more people than you draw near to you ,or ultimately to God!@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist_
I really enjoy watching these and how satisfying it must be to transform a dogs appearance. I adopted a lurcher from a rescue and he was a bit pongy so took him to a local groomer. He loved the attention and the air blower/drier. Looking a million dollars we walked off down the street and now i was the scruffy one! 😁
I really enjoy watching the transformations. You are so kind and gentle and I could see how much this lovely doggie enjoyed the blow dry...and the treats. Take care.
Awe, she is so sweet, glad she got rid of all those ticks. Has to feel so much better to be free of all the loose hair and extra nail length! Best before and after ever!
I just love this breed. We are surrounded by sheep ranches and it’s fun to try to locate one amongst the herd. They are very street wise and watching them at work is amazing.
She really has an appropriate name. Super sweet good girl! The transformation is fantastic and she must feel a lot better after getting her spa treatment.
Thank you for these videos. I have always felt you cannot have too many dogs in your life, but our last old dog has passed away and it helps to see these pups and dogs.
What a good girl. She looked to be enjoying her spa day. Thank you for all that you do and for mentioning that nail clipping is necessary as well as preventatives for fleas and ticks. God bless.
What a beautiful girl Zen is. She did so well during her grooming, and the before & after transformation is incredible. Thanks Vanessa and Girl With The Dogs staff for the work you do. You're awesome. 😁👍👍
She is the most sheep-looking sheeping dog I've ever seen.
Yes! Beautiful transformation. Girl’s still got some junk in that trunk @ 10! 😅 what a love. ❤
That's the idea! They're supposed to blend in with the sheep so that if the flock gets attacked they can take the attacker by surprise. Also helps that it makes them extremely floofy and precious-looking.
Look at that beautiful old girl! So strong
big brown eyes
a bit chubby alright and the nails tell me this girl hasn't been getting the activity she needs
👍
Wow, amazing! Sure wish the owners would get a flea and tick collar for her
She was such a sweetheart, I wish more dogs had her temperament 🥰
The side eye at the beginning when you told her she stinks 😂 What a sweet girl!! Thank you for her spaw day Vanessa, well done!
Maybe it's just me, but it Zen looked hurt when you told her she stinks.
Great Pyrenees are known for epic side eyes! 😂 We have an 8 yr old who does the same thing.
They are good at the side-eye.
@@musicalme27 "I"m a farm dog, not a show dog!"
Yes too cute
She’s so sweet! Poor girl with all of those ticks-Her owners should have to promise to give her flea and tick medicine monthly before they get Zen back. She deserves that.
I could cry when I saw the ticks .... I have 3 large breed dogs and live on a farm but I make sure my babies are protected from ticks and fleas
It's so much easier in recent years with NextGuard chewables instead of the ones that you have to put on their skin (and risk neuro side effects).
@@send2steph mine are on nexguard 😁
Yes it was sad and her ears looked bad as well, maybe ear mites?
I've had a working Great Pyranees and I would never in a million years let her go without flea and tick medication or proper grooming. Like, serioisly, it was the boarding kennel that brought her into the groomers, not her owners.
Yes, the owners need to do better.
Can you imagine how good she feels now. She looks amazing
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist_ fkin bots
Zen: "The moo-moos' don't care what I look like..."🤨
The cows say they like my musky smell 😂
Maybe they aren't "Justified & Ancient". (reference to "The KLF").
From brown bear to polar bear. Beauty ❤

They still need grooming. I know they’re not show dogs but still
@@kaudsizyes, I am just saying that a day after a bath & brush, they are right back at it.
I, too, have a Pyrenees & boy does she love digging a hole & laying in it. Which makes for regular grooming if I want to keep my house clean❤😊
We have a working GP next door. He is the biggest sweetest baby but yeah, he is a filthy critter. But we adore him.
The nail trim alone will help her so much. Plus all the tick removal. Bless you!
It's the little hand slide for treats at the end for me lol. That was adorable
💖
I loved this, you did an amazing job and was so understanding of her being an older girl ❤ you did a fantastic transformation on her ❤
❤️
The way she didn't even lift her head to get treats slayed me. "I'm done, just put them in my mouth."
“You dirty thing. Your nails are atrociously long.”
Oh Vanessa…you’re such a sweet talker. 😂
I love the farm/working dog episodes. It's as if they're being rewarded with an amazing spa day for being such good doggies. Love it so much ♥♥♥
They're my favorite too! More!
And they always seem so chill. It says a lot about how well they are treated, regardless of dirtiness.
Yes, exactly this. Working dogs deserve their spa days more than others.
I really hope the owners keep up with their dogs' grooming & care especially when it comes to fleas & ticks! Thank God they brought this adorable girl to Vanessa!!! She's amazing & her behaviour is exemplary!!!💖

10 y/o seems rather elder for large, working dog. Such a sweet soul. You did a wonderful job on her.
She may be less of a *working* dog and more just continues to hang out and "work" to keep her having a personal purpose. She may also be being used to help train up a younger dog as well
We have a 12 year old Great Pyrenees ❤️
@@meganngeorge The point is that she is a farm dog
@@Rew123 she's a farm dog. Great Pyrenees dogs often are left *out* with the livestock as part of the herd. She isn't abused or unhappy.
@@devium I think/hope that the previous answer was sarcasm :)
Zen is so cute and conducted herself like the grand lady she is during her spa session.
She would have felt such relief being clean and tick free. No wonder she had a snooze mid groom 😂❤
She’s beautiful! Hopefully the owners will get her on flea/tick treatment asap.
What a beautiful girl! Not only did she need this groom but she totally deserved her spa day. You had her looking like a show dog. Great job!
Zen really is true to her name. What an amazing transformation for such a good girl! ❤
❤️
She seems soo sweet.
She is so patient. That bath probably feels good.
One gentle calm senior citizen. Fantastic groom.
Sweet, sweet beautiful older girl, I appreciate how you always let the older ones rest whenever you can. 💚💚
Wow 10! She's still very strong and limber in her movements for a very very senior working dog this size.
If I saw those before and after pictures separately I'd swear they were different dogs! You achieved an amazing transformation. BTW I admire your courage in dealing with ticks, one of the most horrid creatures on this planet!
They are gross, but at least they are slow!
I didnt even know she had brown spots until after the wash
Sincerely curious-what exactly do you think a tick can do to you?
give you lime disease @@bcaye
@@bcaye Vanessa stated they can have Lyme disease, which they can spread. Not funny.

Some dogs don't let their owners clean them, but will let others.
She should get monthly prevention for ticks and fleas at the very least
She's a farm dog! Even preventatives aren't 100% and working on a farm is a ripe environment for ticks and fleas, even with prevention. Don't be too hard on the owners.
Such a good girl! She deserves all the pets and treats 😊
Such a polite girl during the groom; way to go Zen!
her and her sister were stoic
Such a polite bitch during the groom.
Way to go, Zen!*
I love that you've been able to take the time to help all these farm dogs whose vids are going up on both channels. Even if they're all confused or a little scared of the process, they all seem to feel so much better at the end of things.
Oh she was loving being pampered after working so hard on the farm.
What a precious girl! She seemed so relaxed. So sad to see all those ticks but I hope she feels better now that they’re off of her
I loved the blizzard during her blow dry. You totally transformed her back into her royal self!
She is so peacefully baffled by her makeover. She loves the results of her makeover! She is more beautiful than ever!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Bless her sweet fluffy heart. She did so good.
Zen is a beautiful, sweet girl. She behaves so well. Thank you for making her look so pretty! Sugar cookie cologne? Well! She deserves to be pampered!! 🥰🥰

I watched both Zen and Zela grooms. Both are gorgeous and sweet girls. They remind of miniature polar bears. Great videos. Well done!❤️❤️🐶🐶👍👍👋👋
Don’t you know she feels better! Great job!
Zen’s face is so adorable through everything ❤💜. She’s glad you got those ticks, long nails and dirty ear areas❣️🙏🏻

She has the most sweetest, soulful eyes. Thank you for making her feel so much better!! 💕
I love how defeated they look in the happy hoody :D
She was so concerned in the water but she was also such a big, brave girl!
such a polite old lady
I really enjoy watching the transformations. You are so kind and gentle and I could see how much this lovely doggie enjoyed the blow dry...and the treats. Take care.
It’s wild asf seeing her smiling face in the after picture while being shown next to the before picture ❤️🥰😍😌
She has “I’ve been betrayed look at first with the blow dryer, then she really gets into it.
Her smile, am I right?
She had an amazing transition. I bet she has never looked this good and she must feel so much better! GOOD GIRL!!
I love watching the bubbles of hair blow around like when the ocean gets giant and bubbles rise on the air
Bless her!! Amazing transformation. Walking must've been so much better for her after having had her nails clipped properly ❤
Wow you did a wonderful job! I hope the owners take better care after they saw the transformation!
She looks like a polar bear! Only a really well-behaved and cuddly one ❤❤❤
A dog in a happy hoody always makes me smile. No matter the breed, size or shape, I smile every time. Thank you x
Lovely Zen, what a good, majestic senior lady. She deserves to be pampered in her old age. Great job Vanessa
WHAT A BEAUTY!!! BEING HELPED BY ANOTHER BEAUTY!! I seldom comment, but always admire your work. Thanks for lightening our heavy hearts!💐
Awe, she is so sweet, glad she got rid of all those ticks. Has to feel so much better to be free of all the loose hair and extra nail length! Best before and after ever!
She looks beautiful, and so very happy to be clean and comfy!
What a sweetheart! ❤️🐾
She's such a a sweetheart!! It seemed like she liked the bath, like she got that you were going to help with the nasty crawly ticks .. ❤❤❤
Not only a very good girl, but a beautiful girl. I hope the owners will do right by this good girl and get her on some flea and tick prevention.
What a champ she was and I am sure she felt much better. She looked beautiful at the end.
I just love this breed. We are surrounded by sheep ranches and it’s fun to try to locate one amongst the herd. They are very street wise and watching them at work is amazing.
There are some tik tok videos of farm dogs at work on a farm/ problem with coyotes etc/ powerful fearless creatures
She really has an appropriate name. Super sweet good girl! The transformation is fantastic and she must feel a lot better after getting her spa treatment.
Such a glorious floof! So sweet and patient.
She probably feels sooo much better after her groom. What a good girl 😊
A majestic polar sausage!!!! Gorgeous transformation ✨✨
Zen looks amazing! Wonderful job🎉
Amazing change! Love how you can accommodate dogs like Zen who no are older. 💕
A beautiful spa day for a hard working farm girl😊
Zen gives amazing side-eye
How precious she is, she turned out beautiful old soul. You did great
What a sweetie❤
Just simply a gorgeous dog 🐾💖👍 what a difference a GROOMER MAKES 💖
Thank you for these videos. I have always felt you cannot have too many dogs in your life, but our last old dog has passed away and it helps to see these pups and dogs.
The paw shave is oddly satisfying 😊
She's just so calm. She's beautiful.
What a good girl. Her face looks genuinely happy in her after picture.
Yesssss!!!! White farm dog!
What a lovely natured old girl.
What a good girl she was!!!! Beautiful outcome. Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful sweet old girl ❤ She looks absolutely amazing, those big beautiful brown eyes....😊
Stunning result!!!!
Wow, what a transformation, I bet she felt so much better afterwards.
Nice. Those nails must have been satisfying for you both. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🫂🫂
She's a nice, calm, sweety.
I bet she feels so much better
Since we are the proud owners of one of these gorgeous dogs... you cannot imagine the joy is seeing the transformation. Thank you for what you do!
Zen is a beautiful and well behaved girl 😍
But for cutting nails and looking for ticks you don’t need a groomer…
Just adorable 🥰
I think Zen will look forward to her next spa day away from the farm chores - she’s in good hands with you Vanessa 👌🥰
What a good girl. She looked to be enjoying her spa day. Thank you for all that you do and for mentioning that nail clipping is necessary as well as preventatives for fleas and ticks. God bless.

Beautiful girl. After all her hard work she deserves a pamper. She's so good as well ❤
Gorgeous dog.
Nice one! Love it when a dog is calm and trusting to your rigourous spa!
Love this dog. She's so beautiful and such a good girl. Nice job restoring her whiteness❤
