Haute Dog Season 1 Episode 12 Dog Years

Haute Dog is a reality TV series on HBO Max which is dedicated to pups and their owners who are passionate about dog grooming and fashion. In season 1 episode 12, titled "Dog Years," the competition is getting intense as the final contestants are just one challenge away from winning the ultimate prize of $10,000 and the title of Haute Dog Grand Champion.

The contestants have been competing in various rounds, testing their creativity, innovation, and grooming skills alongside their furry friends. However, in this episode, the challenge is to demonstrate their knowledge of dog fashion and grooming history. The contestants must create a unique and stylish look inspired by a particular era, which they will showcase on their dogs. The challenge is to pay tribute to the evolution of dog grooming and fashion, while creating something modern and stylish.

The judges for this episode are stylist Sara Rose, editor-in-chief of Modern Dog Magazine Connie Wilson, and celebrity hairstylist Jess Rona, who always brings her own fur baby. The contestants are nervous, as this challenge could be make or break for them.

To start the episode, all the contestants come together in the outdoor setup of the Haute Dog stage. The host Matt Rogers introduces the theme and the rules of the competition for this episode, and the contestants go off to prepare their dogs for the runway.

The first contestant to present their look is Devin and his furry friend Woby. Devin's era is the 1950s, a period in which poodle skirts and petticoats were fashionable items, and he has perfectly styled Woby to match the aesthetic. The look consists of a poodle skirt and a matching hairdo which is flawlessly executed. The judges are impressed with a unique and interesting concept.

The second contestant is Andrea, who focuses on the 1920s era, the period of the Great Gatsby. She gives her dog a total transformation: using hats, accessories, and grooming techniques to create a sultry and sleek look that embodies the glamour of the 20s. The judges are in awe as the pairing looks like it's straight out of "The Great Gatsby."

The third contestant is Catherine and her dog, who both embody the disco era of the 1970s. Catherine is dressed in bell-bottoms and a metallic top, with her dog matching with an afro-style wig and large sunglasses. Her look and concept are unique and funkadelic, and the judges appreciate the theme.

The final contestant is Boyd and his pup, soaking up the spirit of the Wild West in the 1800s. Boyd dons a cowboy costume, while his dog looks the part of a western outlaw, with a cowboy hat and boots, a sheriff's star and a bandana. The judges find it a bit off-brand, as the challenge was to focus on dog fashion and grooming history rather than human attire.

After all of the contestants present their looks, the judges collectively deliberate the winner of the challenge. They give their evaluations and compliments, and finally, after much discussion, they have reached a decision.

The contestants are back on the stage for the grand reveal of the winner. The judges reveal the best look of the episode, and the winner is elated with joy and a sense of accomplishment. With this challenge, the contestants take the competition to another level and prove that they are a force to be reckoned with.

"Dog Years" was a challenge that offered a unique opportunity for the contestants to showcase their knowledge of dog grooming and fashion history. The contestants pushed the boundaries of creativity and aesthetics and crafted unique, unforgettable looks for their furry friends. As the episodes go on, they will continue to demonstrate their skills and prove that they have what it takes to be crowned the Haute Dog Grand Champion.
