Color change?

Dane is black, and lately I have been noticing that his coat is getting lighter, almost a light brown color. I have talked to a few people who say it is just dead hair and needs to be brushed out. We brush him a few times a week, and it isn't helping. Any tips or ideas? I saw at petco that they have special shampoos for dogs with black coats that we might try, but thought I'd try here first to see if you guys had any good ideas. Thanks!

When Bear was a baby and beginning to lose the soft puppy coat he had what I thought were really cool looking "natural highlights". Come to find out, it was his sunburned hair and had been combed out so much there was nothing we could do but dye it when he finally looked like an all brown dog in the sun.  :D All info we have gotten on the shampoo dye from the stores said that it doesn't work and our breeder recommended regular people hair dye. It worked wonders on his coat & made our boy balck again. Good luck and let us know what you decide to do.

Luvmydanes:
People dye huh? That is a funny thought! :) Is it funny that I use conditioner on my dogs, like my good conditioner that I use on my hair, just so their coats will be nice and soft and smell good. I know, I'm weird. lol

I just told my husband about this post (he thinks we're all weird dog people LOL) and he suggested we dye our IRISH wolfhound green. I just may do that someday when he's at work to be a smart @ss!  Though I think I would opt for the spray color that washes out after a bit!!!
(and he wonders why the fur babies are more attached to me?!) LOL

Well, I am not sure about people hair dye, however, I did hear that dogs with grey muzzle's from age that are in movies have it dyed.  Someone told me what they used because you can't use a sharpie as it is toxic.  I do not remember what it is and if anybody knows, I would like to find out.  People do not lick their hair after they dye it like a dog would but I assume it is non-toxic.
