after reading all the info, i think the black on black is best for jessie. it says to use it on dark chocolates. just want to know for sure this won't change her coat to black - lol - i just want to dull the silvers.I love Chris Christensen products and they have shampoos for certain color dogs - here is the link - scroll down to the red on red and look at the information.
Detail Informaiton
not at all? have you tried any? AgilityIG sent me a link for Chris Christensen products. have you had any experience with them? i don't want to get obsessed with this. jessie will be jessie, the spoo i love to death, even if she turned green. lol howeve, if i could do anything without getting crazy, i would like to try.They don't work....
Yes. I have a Brown Standard too. My girl is in show coat and the ends of her coat are quite sunburned. Plus she has grizzled white hairs through her coat too.not at all? have you tried any?

excuse my ignorance but i have 2 questions: first, what is "show coat", second, is this "silvering" considered an undesirable trait when it comes to showing spoos?Yes. I have a Brown Standard too.

I used a color depositing shampoo that was supposed to darken hair. I used it three times and it did not make one bit of difference. It does make a Hell of a mess in the tub though.
Whitening/brightening shampoos work well on White or Cream dogs because they have blueing in them that takes the yellow dinginess out of a coat.
The only way to truly change the color of a dog is to dye it. If you want to go that route, you can buy regular human hair dye at the store and mix it into your dog's shampoo.
yes, i guess i just have to deal with it. the good thing is when she cut short for the summer, the grays are practically gone and she's her dark chocolate again. however, i guess this summer will really tell since she is now 15 months old and her coat has matured quite a bit since last summer. maybe her brown won't be as dark as it was last year. i will have to see. thank you for the help.colour enhancing shampoos will NOT make anything change colour. You can use black on black shampoo no a white dog if you want; they won't turn black! Only dye will make their hair change colour...
No shampoo will change the grey hairs in her coat. They'll still be there, and still be as grey as ever. Her brown may be more brown, but her grey will still be grey... I'm afraid it is normal for browns and many blacks to get the grey hairs all through them, and to eventually lighten too... If you kept a lock of her puppy hair you'll see that the brown probably IS fading a bit, it's just not noticable!
In the AKC, Poodle show dogs are shown with long coats. After age 12months, adult poodles are required to be shown in what is called a Continental trim. (See below... Delilah is especially orangie in the flash). The hair in this trim has been growing since infancy. It must be cared for in a very specific way or it will matt or break.excuse my ignorance but i have 2 questions: first, what is "show coat", second, is this "silvering" considered an undesirable trait when it comes to showing spoos?
I would just keep her shortthank you for all the education! your girl is gorgeous - i don't see much "grizzling" and i can barely see the white on her tail. funny thing, jessie has that same white streak on her tail. i am attaching a pic of jess from 3/1/10 - day after a grooming. this shows how dark she could still look when groomed.
lol - i know, such a simple solution. guess it's my problem - i love a longer look. maybe with my next one. don't want to belabor this and become annoying about it - i appreciate everyone's input and i understand all my options.I would just keep her short![]()
