I mean, we had so many 21 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: dogs growing up in it in a dog showing family. 22 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: And how my parents made money is like we sold 23 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 3: dog products from the caravan I went all around the 24 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 3: the dog show. Yeah, it is not glamorous. Put it 25 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 3: that way. A lot of seas and I'm allergic to 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: dogs as well, made it kind of. 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 2: Great idea, you're per. 28 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: Rebel's not joking here for anyone who is listening. Your 29 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: mother Sue, she was a professional dog handler, so it 30 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: was the circus you were going around with these dogs 31 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: and performing all the time. Is it feeding him that 32 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: you were allergic to dogs? 33 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, that's true. And my mum's now actually 34 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 3: an international dog show jut, so she's like renowned and 35 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 3: she pops in on the show as well because she 36 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 3: really knows what she's talking about. But yeah, so I 37 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 3: just take clariton now when I'm around them and try 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 3: not to know too much of the headache. It just 39 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 3: kind of gives me a headache off, I get each 40 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: gy and stuff, Rebel. 41 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: When you look at a dog show and how you 42 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: mark a dog, can you give us through your experience 43 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: and indication of what you're looking for. Let's say we 44 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: take a Golden Retriever, Like, what would your mom be judging? Like, 45 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 2: what's she looking at? 46 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: Well, there's like breed standards for each pure bread breed 47 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: and I mean, I don't know at the top of 48 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: my head that you know, she'd be looking for all 49 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: the things, you know, the ratios, how they stand and 50 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 3: how they knew, what their gates like, what their temperaments like. 51 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 3: They all that kind of stuff on too. It's perfect. 52 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: It's a bit different because it's more focusing on the 53 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: dog grooming and it's a bit more creative than dog 54 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: showing because sometimes their pet style is like they they're 55 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: given a crazy challenge, like they can turn your dog 56 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: into a giraffe like that. Oh yeah, I'll turn it 57 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 3: into a teddy bear or something. So it's kind of 58 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: a bit difference, but it's really creative and it's what 59 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: kind of crazy going all around the world with dog 60 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 3: grooming and so and Australia is the first to do 61 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: a TV show about it. But I mean you would 62 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 3: not believe, like the drama, the tears and also the 63 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: comedy become best of this simple kind of premise that 64 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: was really fun to shoot. We shut it in Sydney 65 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 3: just as the bushfires are starting and yeah, so you 66 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: know that we were trying to trying to bring joy 67 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 3: to people with the show. 68 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: How competitive is it rebel people get fired up to 69 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: is there any dirty tactics that happened in this industry. 70 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,839 Speaker 3: I think that all of the groomers on the show 71 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: would too knife. No one was like, there was no 72 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: much where you and the dog show. In the dog 73 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 3: show world, it's so competitive, people like sleep with the 74 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: judges sometimes sabotage the dogs with the dogs like it's 75 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: really fall on. I want to make a movie about 76 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 3: that at some point. But no, our groomers are all, 77 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: you know, lovely, lovely people, and there was no sabotage 78 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: coming on. But definitely the will and the to win 79 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars if your dog groomer is like 80 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 3: a huge life changing price. So yeah, so yeah, there 81 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: was few competition and then when they stripe them shout 82 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 3: their work on the dog walk like, yeah, it gets 83 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: pretty intense sometimes because. 84 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 2: I think what's interesting too, and you would see with 85 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 2: these people, I'm sure rebel are those that treat their 86 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: dogs like their humans. Sarah sleeps with her dog and 87 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 2: also showers with. 88 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: Her dog. 89 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 3: In the bed.

I don't know. My I'm used to watch 93 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: the dogs in my bathtub and then I would say 94 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 3: it because there's always Doug here in the bathtub and 95 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 3: there's a lingering stop it.
