You don't have to be as careful with multi colored breeds with Gold On Gold. When you have a breed such as a Golden Retriever use Gold On Gold all over the coat, it will not make the lighter colored furnishing look artificial, but will blend with beautiful shades. But, say you have a tri-colored Canine, golden colored with white. Wet down the canine and go in with White On White in the white areas and suds those areas up first, then proceed with Gold On Gold and apply to the golden areas. If there is an overlap of the Gold On Gold into the white areas do not be concerned since you already have these areas suds up with White On White. This method of application works with all Chris Christensen Systems color treatments.
