I think you finally got it

But again, I believe you are seeing most not dying much anymore for in fear of the DQ and just holding on until they clear in color on the head ect...but the art of enhancing has gotten so good that it really is hard to tell if one is colored or not but that is beside the point because I could care less if the dog is colored if it has the structure, movement, good top lines, good fronts and rears...unless it's a really bad dye job that I can't get past to see the good structure and I've seen that too...unfortunately...
