Hmmmm we’re not sure what to say about this but we’re bringing the news to you anyway

Animal Planet enters the world of real dog-style with the premiere of its new competition series, Groomer Has It hosted by Jai Rodriguez best known for his stint on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Rodriguez himself is the owner of two Yorkshire Terriers, Nemo and Dory. Groomer Has It sniffs out 12 of America’s most devout dog groomers to compete against each other in a test of desire, creativity and affinity for animals as they shave, shear and shampoo their way through a series of challenges that will crown only one as “Groomer of the Year.” The contestants will be put through their paces to see who can turn the shaggiest pooch into a beautiful, prancing pup beginning this Saturday, April 12, at 9 PM (ET/PT).

These self-proclaimed best groomers will live together in a swanky Los Angeles loft the “Dog House;” work elbow-to-elbow in one salon; and face grooming challenges that range from styling pups for their runway debut to grooming some of the most exotic dog breeds to making adoptable pups look their fetchingly best for new homes. After each challenge, Jai and our outspoken panel of judges, including esteemed veterinarian Dr. Karen Halligan, champion dog handler Xavier Santiago and leading U.S. grooming expert Joey Villani will decide which contestant does not make the cut. The grand prize winner will receive a cash prize of $50,000, a mobile grooming salon from Wag’n Tails Mobile Grooming and the title of “Groomer of the Year” — three prizes totaling $125,000 that could jump-start the groomers’ careers and change their lives. Each of these groomers thinks he/she has what it takes to be top dog in this competition, but in reality, only one … GROOMER HAS IT.

How many of YOU will watch?

If you’re a fan of ABC’s Pushing Daisies (and if you’re not what are you waiting for?) then you must love the cute cast featuring Lee Pace, Kristin Chenoweth, Anna Friel and Chi McBride, and Digby, the beautiful female golden retriever who is, according to Pushing Daisies Wikipedia, played by two dogs, Orbit and Orion.

We could only find info on Orbit for now who also starred in the movie For the Love of a Dog alongside Sherman Hemsley but if you know of info about Orion, send it over! We’re contacting ABC to see what we can dig up. Woof!
