Whats so wrong with black?

As was already said, black dogs are very common and a lot of people just find them boring to look at. Black dogs also tend to scare people more easily for some reason. I like black dogs and besides certain reds (like Tollers) and chocolate, black is my favourite colour (with or without markings). I think the colour of a dog is a rediculous reason reason to get rid of it though. Eventhough my favourite coat colours are reds and browns, I wouldn't get rid of a dog because it was white or black.

I get:

*Black dogs are male Please don't get me started
*Black dogs are more aggresive (with humans and dogs)
*black dogs are ugly

Complete nonsense, the lot of them. Anyways, I did get "some" truth as to why people prefer black dogs. Because most dogs have brown eyes and so you cannot see the dogs eyes in many pictures, especially if they are really dark brown eyes.

Yeah. I wouldn't take it personally twards you. People have color preferences just as they do with certain breeds. Although the "not playing enough" is rediculous. It was just a baby. It makes me wonder though...what if she has those kids that just don't stop playing no matter what? Any dog they get is going to get that way, and if it's an older one I wouldn't be shocked if it bit one.

I dont get the black phobia thing myself, I mean whats more gorgous then a glossy black coat? other colours never look as glossy and black does lol I mean Electra;s coat in the right lighting looks bright rich and glossy, but my black dogs? their coats ALWAYS looks bright rich and glossy

i love black dogs, i think they are beautiful and have just as much if not more personality than any other dog!
I remember when i got coco, my dad asked me "why did you get a black dog though, they dont have anything to offer"
well dad, they have love to offer, not just black but any color! and i told him "you know what dad coco has more personality in a dog than i've ever seen all my life" and i've had alot of dogs from the time i was just little till the time i moved out of the house! all shapes and sizes, breeds and colors! and coco is a "person" to me, there's nothing she doesnt understand, she's a great dog whether or not her color is black, she is filled with love to give and personality for me to get to know!

today i worked at petco(i work in the grooming dept.) and sometimes the cashiers come into the salon to see the dogs we have in there! One of the cashiers came in, ohh i'd say 3 times throughout the day and i had coco with me for her bath! Well i just have to say she didnt once glance down and look at her! she was swooning at all the yellow labs i had in their cages and the small (white might i add) dogs that were in the cages above! I was sad...coco loves people and they give her nothing! They'd rather pet the light colored dogs, just because they have bright fur! well you know what...my coco is bright to me! She's the brightest star in my[U] whole galaxy!
just dont get it sometimes! im glad there are people who do love black dogs...cause theirs plenty of them that need some love!

Aww, that's just awful, dogs/animals should NOT be judged because of their color.
