Hi I want to dye my teacup and standard poodle with the jazzaling dye. I use to know how to dye them. but haven't done it in a very long time. And need to know how to again if any one knows how to will you please let me know. or if you know of something that is semi permeant that wont coast me so much that would be grate.

You would be best to put this in the grooming forum, or look on a grooming forum I would have thought!

Have you made sure you are using a dye which is dog-friendly, and won't cause any irritation to your dogs skin??

Well, if I was you, I wouldn't just take their word for it :D

Better to be safe than sorry.

You'd probably be best off going to a professional groomer for advice.

Can you imagine if you did it and something went horribly wrong?! EEK!!

Just walk in and ask, I'm sure they'd be happy to advise you, and it's FREE!

I've never personally dyed my dogs hair (or even my own), but I heard that the jazzing dye is very very low quality, that it is very runny and dyes the hair in unattractive patches.
If your a groomer, don't you know other groomers that would give you good professional advice? It'd be great if they could show you, because I bet that'd be easier than trying to decipher text on the computer screen.
There is another member on here that uses chalks... I bet you could do a search, or PM her ;) :)

Yeah the chalks sound good.

Surely there must be a parlour in your area that would be willing to give free advice?

Wow, I thought this was a joke! I guess I have seen colored poodles. It must be a poodle thing.
I have had two poodles, one right now... and I would never ever think of dyeing them, lol... just wanted you to know that not all poodle owners make their dogs look like circus animals.

To each his (or her) own, but I'm firmly in the non-dyed poodle camp!

I take enough ribbing about having a "foo-foo" dog as it is! lol!
Not all poodles are girly-dogs!

If you're a professional groomer, wouldn't you know all of this? hehe.

Try googling it, you will probably get some good directions. Otherwise, I did dye the white on Gonzo hot pink once and blue once, but that was with temporary hair dye... once I did it with semi-permenant for sensitive skin, as my groomer recommended that. It only last for like 1 week, though, because of his water-resistant coat. =P I basically just rubbed it into the white areas, allowed it to sit for the recommended time, and rinsed really well with water. He had to stand still for 20 mins, which was probably the most difficult part!

I wish Charlie wasn't so dark so I could dye him...his coat is perfect for that stuff...don't mean to hijack the thread, but do you think any colors would show up on him if I tried it??
