I had no idea there was such as thing as Black Dog Syndrome. I actually prefer black dogs, no matter the breed. As it turns out, I adopted a gorgeous black and tan Dobie a year ago. She is an absolute doll – a loving companion and faithful protector. And I love seeing her coat glisten in the sunlight – a truly beautiful and elegant sight!

I dont mean to be adversarial, but Im not sure I understand with this. Anyhow, thanks for posting and I think I’ll come to this blog more often. Regularly I do not make comments on blogs, but I have to say that this posting really acted me to do so. Really fantastic post. Really fantastic and I will be coming back for more information at your blog and revisit it! Thank you.

Hey!
I’m a “Red” Greyhound, like my Dad !
I hope you realize that Red is THE color to be…
even though my Mom’s Great Dane was Black and everyone thought he was soooo neat!
I don’t get dirty either… but the Jack Russells that live here…ugh! (pigs)

I really had no idea that black dogs would be less likely to be adopted.
I guess because we have always been around so many different colors & types of dogs we notice their personality more than their color.

I had to laugh at your comments about black dogs staying black. I now run a refuge in Argentina started by my late wife, but back when my wife was alive, our first dog was white and she LOVED mud.
Even now I’ve a white “dogo” who rolls in any dirt she can find.

3 years ago when looking at a litter of lab mixes for adoption, I chose the black puppy simply because she was black. Knowing that Big Black Dog syndrome is so much of an issue, I knew that she would be less adoptable as a puppy because she is black and definitely less likely to find a home if she ended up homeless as an adult. I also thought that as a single woman walking a dog alone, maybe the “big black dog” might scare someone with less than good intentions. It was the best decision I ever made!!! I couldn’t have chosen a more perfect addition to our family. As far as being a guard dog, she would probably bring any intruder a ball to play fetch and then lick them half to death. Sage is our pride and joy and I also receive so many compliments on her beautiful coat and wonderful demeanor. I hope others give big black dogs a try.
