I'm not trying to be argumentative either but "most" dye jobs are easily detected. I only wish I could do a decent job. LOL I am going to start practicing on my little light Ceeby. |
I think you are seeing less dye jobs now that the DQ is in place and more exhibitors are holding out until they clear. What i find funny is when someone says well that yorkie is dyed and I've heard and someone has actually said to me personally that dog is so dyed and I had to say it's so "NOT" dyed LOL....I knew the dog personally and knew it wasn't dyed...everyone thinks that the dog is enhanced when a judge actually was asked to take acohol to the coat and make sure because they were for sure it was dyed and wow low and behold the dog wasn't LOL...and in turn...the dog's handler said well since you wanted my dog tested I want yours and the funny thing was the test was done and the yorkie was excused for being colored LOL....funny how some things are perceived as one thing and it's not LOL
