Choosing a canine companion by breed is fairly common. But it’s also become increasingly popular to choose by color. Black dog breeds are making a comeback for various reasons. Some people like the way a certain color looks, and for some, it may match their clothing, furniture or flooring to disguise shedding. So when someone chooses a dog based on their black coat, there’s usually a reason behind it.

Some black-coated dogs can portray an image of aggressiveness or dominance. The color is also often viewed as a symbol of magic and mystery. When a black cat crosses your path, it’s meant to be a lucky omen. But what about black dogs?

Black dogs have long been regarded as guardians, guides, and loyal companions in various mythologies. This may be why they are such a popular choice with families today. To make it easier for you to find your perfect black pup, we arranged our list into three sections based on coat length.

It’s worth noting that not all of these breeds are completely black. Some are “mostly black” with a little bit of tan. But that tan can be a much lower ratio depending on the dog, giving you what looks like an all-black pup.

 

Black Dog Breeds With Short Coats

The following dogs are big and small, all with shorter black coats. These dogs can be either double-coated or single-coated, depending on the breed. Double coated black dogs will shed more, especially in the winter and  spring.

Grooming and upkeep will be easier though, as the hair is shorter and usually less noticeable. Let’s take a look at our favorite dogs with shorter black coats.

The Pug is a happy and affectionate breed. They are the perfect family companion and were bred specifically for companionship. The Pug is a flat-faced breed. Because of that, you’ll need to monitor potential health issues due to their flat faces as they age. They aren’t a great fit for people living in hot climates.

The Lancashire Heeler is an unusual dog that’s not often seen outside of the breed enthusiast’s domain. In fact, in the U.K., the breed was placed on the Endangered Breeds list in 2003. This is because of the small number of animals that compose the gene pool and the consequent increased risk of inherited diseases.

Black German Shepherd

German Shepherd in Field
While black and tan may be the more traditional German Shepherd color, all-black is also possible.

Most people are familiar with the traditional black and tan-colored German Shepherd Dog, but they also come in jet black. The black German Shepherd could fall into the medium or long-coated category because it’s possible for the GSD to have a medium-length or long coat.

Final Thoughts

There are many different beautiful black dog breeds, and matching names to boot, whether you opt for a pup with a short, long, curly, or flat coat. But before you make a firm decision on what kind of dog to get, remember that every dog will need time spent grooming them to keep their coats both shiny and healthy.

Generally, the larger the dog you have, the more time you will need to spend grooming them. You’ll also need more space at home, or you’ll likely see their hair more frequently around your home. Before committing to one of these beautiful black-coated canines, keep that in mind.
