I want to dye pure-white Angel purple or blue or green for a special
event - anyone know a *safe*, temporary dye I could use? Doesn't need
to be a bright color, subtle is fine also.

I know a woman that uses food coloring on her white poodles, and I did
the same one year at an Easter-time trial with Nikki. She went as the
Easter Bully. We cut some sponges the shape of eggs, and dipped them in
different colors and sponged them on. The hard part was keeping her
still till they dried, so they wouldn't smear. IIRC, we added some
vinegar to the colors to make the color last longer? Dry faster?

Scritches to Miss Honey Bunny Fluffy Paws. I vote for purple.

Food coloring. Go to the spice section and get the single color 2-ounce
bottles rather than the little 4-packs of assorted squeeze colors.
Dilute it with a little water then brush it through the fur with an old
toothbrush. It will rub off on furniture, carpet and clothes so you may
want to shampoo her immediately after her event. All the color may not
come out with the first washing, but it will stop rubbing off on her
surroundings. Blue is probably the easiest to get rid of. Orange is a
disaster. My BC puppy's white fur was dyed orange for her first
Halloween and though I shampooed her repeatedly her white looked like
old dentures for several weeks afterward.

Thanks! We're in our first agility competition on Saturday - a purely
for-fun event. We're divided into teams, and our team is getting
matching tshirts with bandanas for the dogs. As she's the only pure-
white dog on our team (all small dogs, team name "Size Doesn't Matter")
I thought it would be fun to dye her to match the shirts/bandanas.

A friend ran her Samoyed at the AAC Nationals last year with a
red maple leaf on each side. She first shaved her Sammy's sides
and then used the temporary hair dye that people use.

on white "temporary" is somewhat of a misnomer - depending on the hair
texture it might take a while for all of the dye to come out. Kavik has
been dyed with paste food coloring, liquid food coloring and spray on
hairspray color. The hairspray was the most vivid, and the easiest to get
out.

A samoyed a nationals. Makes my whole day!
She SHAVED the sides! AH! I was wondering how she made anything but a red
blob wtih the long fur. Let her know that Kavik once did an agility demo
with an american flag painted on him with temporary hair dye. The stripes
were ok, but the little stars were a bitch.
