| ![]() Personally, I wouldn't dye my dogs hair but I really don't see anything wrong with it if done properly. You should post pictures after. I'd love to see them.

| ![]() I love my yorkies the way that they are. if i wanted a pink dog i wouldn't have purchased a blue one...but that's me. i think it's kinda cruel to dye a dogs hair personally because knowing how allergic my two are to EVERYTHING i just wouldn't risk something else on their poor fragile skin and i also think it's very silly and not neccessary but those are just my opinions. |

| ![]() I'm on a neighborhood business committee and all the businesses in the 4 business districts do an annual "Girls' Day Out" shopping thing. Businesses are decorated in pink, everything is pink, pink, pink! The majority of women business owners in my particular district all decided to have a few strands of pink hair extensions put in the for shopping event. I brought Gracie (my Yorkie) to the business that day and we added a couple pink hair extensions to her...everyone thought it was a cute addition to the theme. However, that being said, it wasn't the best idea because they were difficult to get out and resulted in her and my hair getting broken off - to which I was more upset about her hair than mine. So don't do heat activated hair extensions!!! lol ![]() I can't see where a properly colored Yorkie would look all that good dyed, but as I said before...a maltese (or poodle for that matter) would look pretty neat pink I think. But yeah, as long as the products are safe.

| ![]() It is illegal to inject dye into the egg so that they are born that way in Canada.

| ![]() Personally I wouldn't do it, I've seen people try to dye a white horse and it wouldn't come out for months. so the poor pony walked around in the Acadian flag until it fully shed the coat out.

Your dog looked ridiculous, and most likely the OP's dog will look just as ridiculous. Why would anyone want to do this to a beautiful yorkie's coat?? | |

| ![]() I would not "dye" my yorkies, but only because I LOVE the STANDARD yorkie coloring. But I think it is absurd that Florida has a law against it. If they limited it to allow vegetable-based safe dyes, that would not be so bad. But I think if I wanted to "color" my dogs hair with one of the vegetable-based pet approved products, food coloring, or Kool-aid and some ridiculous law enforcement officer ticketed me --- I would fight it and probably WIN on the law being unconstitutional and extremely silly. I do not think they can be hurt by the products like food coloring and Kool-aid (which I hear works very well and washes out more easily) or the made-for-pets products. Coloring their hair is just one more primping, pampering act some share with their pups. I color my own hair. I allowed one of my sons to get "highlights" when his girl wanted to accent his "beach boy look" and I just don't see the problem if people want to color their dog's hair either. People who do this are usually the ones who love to go overboard with other pampering acts for fun with their pet. They are not abusing them, they are just sharing an experience, having fun, carpe diem, enjoying life with their yorkie family member. While the pet will probably not enjoy the act of coloring their hair (anymore thn they would a shampoo), I am sure they will bask in all the attention it gets them afterward. I say if you want to color their hair (notice how I am staying away from wording like dye/dying/etc), paint their toenails, give them a mohawk or corn rows -- as long as you do it with love -- go for it. Life is too short to take it too seriously. For those that do -- PLEASE post pictures!!! I know I started my post with "I would not dye my yorkies...." but I may just have to challenge the FL law the next Halloween and "color" my yorkies with some Koolaid. The color will probably only "take" on the tan parts but that would be enough for a cute look....maybe green for Ben and purple for Annie. Then maybe Candy (our Jack Russell) could be all orange. Those are great Halloween colors. ![]()

![]() ![]() I dress very conservative EXCEPT I love wild and crazy socks. I have these mis-matched bright-colored striped ones that really make me smile. I put temporarily coloring a pup's hair, into this same category. Not something I would do all the time, maybe not even at all, but something that has the potential to add some excitement and fun into an otherwise normal day. I might never do it but if I do, I don't think there is a thing in the world wrong with it. Even if I thought it was horrible and not at all in my taste, I would still speak out (write out?) for the RIGHT of every pet owner to make their own decision and not be so judgemental.

Morgan quite enjoyed all the compliments and extra attention she received at the Halloween party, even if she looked "ridiculous". ![]()
