Still looking at SAFE , FAST ways to check for dye at the judge's discretion. A kit available or even simple instructions on "how to". Lab testing (not the bird dogs, lol) is too time consuming. However there are hair dye removers available easily at beauty supply and Walmarts that do not remove the natural pigment of the hair, only the dye. There are also substances that remove potassium permanganate....that "lovely" icky orangey, yellow color so popular on some dogs...oddly not in our standard,, lol.
