LOL. But a Bichon Frise is supposed to look like that. It's a companion dog, whose job is look pretty and provide company. (And to be clear, I don't mean that as a slight -- that's a perfectly respectable job for a dog.)

But a sheepdog's job is to herd sheep. Can you imagine what the other animals on the field would say if Old English Sheepdog showed up to work looking like that?

Pay no attention to me -- I just have this thing about dogs being groomed in ways that are contrary to the history and purpose of the breed.
