Does anyone here color their light-colored dog?

So you had a light haired dog and wanted them to be black, is that what your saying. That's a new one for me, because no I have never done it. In fact, in my climate (I live in Arizona) my family got to the point where they no longer wanted a dark hair dog, especially a black dog with a thick coat because it led to the dog suffering in the summer months. So we have always welcomed a light hair dog, in fact even when we had a black dog we didn't try to lighten his coat for any given reason, considered shaving him during the summer though. Might I suggest you find a good dog groomer who maybe able to fix your dog's hair color. Look online and do some research to find one in your area who is trustworthy.
