I have seen several poodles on the internet with dyed hair but it is usually for Halloween or Christmas. Although I would never do this to Bella it's not because I think it is cruel. It's just not my thing. Many people dress their dogs up for special occasions and I think if it's done just for fun there is nothing wrong with it. Some Pet Talk folks have posted some really cute pics of their pets with costumes on. I can't imagine wanting to permanently change your pet's fur color though.
