OK, now I'm going to have Timbuk3 singing "The poodle's so bright, I gotta wear shades" running through my head for the rest of the day. Stupid inner DJ...

:) So happy I could help.

I have to ask...why dye her? White/cream poodles are so gorgeous naturally...I just don't get the dyeing. I have a friend in Canada who breeds standard poodles....I regularly threaten to kidnap her cream girl I adore her so. Someday I'll have one of her grandpuppies :-).

It started with my first standard girl, who was also a rescue. I just wanted to see if I could get a fun color. I found that we got such a great reaction that I kept playing with the color and methods until I got the results I wanted.

I'm sort of a hippy girl. I can't stand artificial fragrances and I very rarely wear make up. I'm not the sort of person you would expect to walk around with a fluffy fancy dog, much less one that is pink. Faith boggles peoples minds a bit when they see her. She makes them smile and sometimes she (and I) pisses them off.

So why not have a surreal pink poodle to shake things up? Also, she has some pretty significant staining that I'm working on clearing up. When her skin is better and her coat has recovered I may just keep her white for a while but right now she wouldn't be a gorgeous white poodle.

Hehehe...yeah, I see that, as I'm not terribly girly myself. I've seen toy poodles coloured before (we used to have a blue one in to the kennel!) but she's the first standard I've seen.
