Poor doggies :(
Though it seems that people in BC are more open minded than those prejudiced Saskatcheweenies.
File that one under "D" for "Duh".
It's worse for the cats but black dogs get the same rap, and it's difficult for us to move them at the shelter.
How about chocolate?
Black(well very dark gray) cats are the cuddliest. :)
I've heard of that before and it really bothers me, to the extent that when my current (red) dog dies, if we get another dog I'm going to insist on a black one.
I bet black dogs and cats are more likely to get run over as well.
Black Dog get discriminated, White Dog (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084899/) discriminates.
I saw a stray black cat this morning. I stopped and stared. At first, it hissed, but then cuddled at my leg.
I think dogs look great in black.
That surprises me. Black goes with everything.

That's ridiculous :( Black dogs are awesome.

Anyhoo, the Black lab/Retriever mix I had was a gorgeous dog. Looked like a jet black golden retriever.

Nice dog
Awww. He looks warm. :wub:
Weird. I don't get the hate, myself. Some of my favorite dogs are black.

Yep. A real shame. Two of mine are almost entirely black (one has a white spot); their mom's a tuxedo, and I guess their dad was solid black. But the daughters are as sweet as can be.

I ain't your dog.
We've got an almost totally black cat, with a splash of white fur at his junk. This color discrimination is terrible.
White Power!

Katmai is simply a product of his environment. His dog is toast if it doesn't blend in with the snow.
Clyde is more beaner color. Bonnie in background.
