Black dogs

I have a black min. poodle mix that is about 1 1/2 years old. Ever since I saw that you can dye a dogs hair, I have been playing with the idea of dyeing my dogs hair. Now I know that I read that you can use manic panic to dye the hair on white dogs, but is it the same for black dogs. I've been a profesional petstlist for about 2-3 yrs now and would love to eventually get into creative grooming. I figure that I will start out with my little man first and see how things go. If you could give me more information on how to go about doing this, I would be very greatfull.

Re: Black dogs
Hi Trish, I have a black standard and have done just a few things to him. A few of the manic colors will go over the black coat but only act as an enhancer. It is best to experiment with hair that you have cut off the dog first so that you can see what your end result will be. Some of the reds and dark blues will show up. I have also bleached my dogs coat with no ill effects. But only small areas and not getting the bleaching soultion all the way to the skin. I would also not put it anywhere near the eyes or nose.There is a chapter on bleaching on my DVD.
