-—— “Black Dog Syndrome” -——

Wow....keep this under the radar....

Some idiot libtard will think it’s racist...

[piytar]

What stupidity.

The two most popular dog breeds in the U.S.: golden retriever and BLACK Labrador. And in many surveys, it’s the other way around!

Lynn-Dah-The-Dawg is a Black lab/Chow Blend. When she rescued me, she was ALL Black, including the rims of her eyes and the inside of her mouth, as well as her tongue!

[PROCON]

Wow, a black tongue, is that common?

[left that other site]

Just in Chow Chows...purplish-black.

[left that other site]

Some other breeds have black tongues but Chows are the most famous for it.

[catnipman]

I thought the correct phrase is “Dedicated cat employee.”

We consider ourselves to be “Cat Butlers”.

Ain't no black dog

[madison10]

That’s silly. I look at a dog’s personality and if it would be a fit with our family. We just adopted a Boston terrier/minpin almost all black. She’s a high energy little thing.

Black Lassie - Cheech and Chong

Hi, I’m Johnny Stash
And I’m here to sing about
A great American dog
Black Lassie

Hit it, Carl

She was born in the Detroit ghetto
During the riots of ‘65
Her daddy was a big fat alley rat
But he could lick a dog twice his size

Her mama was
A long legged Afghan
And she came from the
High class part of town

But late at night
When the moon got bright
Her and the rat
Really went to town

Black Lassie, fat and sassy
She started poor, aw
But now she’s rich

She’s the queen
Of the doggy world
Black Lassie is a ghetto
(Sssh, don’t you say it)
But I’m talking about Black Lassie

Now I want everybody to listen
While Carl plays with his wa-wa

That was Carl and his wa-wa
Thank you very much, Carl
That’s just fine

You can stop now, Carl
Carl, you can stop now
Gimme that wa-wa, Carl

Don’t you ever try to play when I’m
Singing about a great American dog

Black Lassie, fat and sassy
She started poor, aw
But now she’s rich

She’s the queen of
All the doggys in the world
Because Black Lassie
She’s a ghetto
(Sssh, don’t you say it)
But I’m talking about Black Lassie

A great American
Half dog, half rat
Don’t mess with her
Because she’a a real (shut up)

Aw, shut up, yourself
I wasn’t gonna say bitch
I’m talking about Black Lassie

I can just see little Timmy now
Standing in front of that liquor store
Calling his dog

Here, Black Lassie
Here, Black Lassie
Come over here, girl
Get out that trashcan
And come over here

Woo, you stink, where you been
In that store, playing with men again
Come over here, girl
I got a cheeseburger for you

That’s right, sit up
Aw, that’s a good girl
Aw, God, you’re ugly
Those beady eyes
But I love you, girl

Speak for me, girl
Speak for me
I love you

Here is my Black Lab Tide. He is a very good hunter. He is not mean and is NOT up for adoption.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al

Or crazy lady in the park syndrome.

But are zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

Border Collies

English Pointer

Boston Terrier

Plus others.

Or it's a case of nosy liberal professor looking for government funding syndrome.

[Neidermeyer]

Boxers don’t come in black. I’ll have to sit this one out.
*****************
But Boxers can come in brindle like mine ,,, Black dogs may be the subject here but brindle freaks people out ,, people associate that coloring with “pit bull”.

[libstripper]

The “almost all black” is a big problem. I’d love to get a pure black Lab or, even better, a pure black Great Dane. Unfortunately, most come with at least a bit of white, especially on their chests. That being the case, I now have an 85 lb. Black and white Pitador and 110 lb. Black and white Great Dane.

I have a soft spot for black cocker spaniels. They are my favorite dog, however due to poor breeding cockers can no longer be trusted for temperament so we have Cavaliers, two of which are black and tan.

The biggest problem with a furry black thing is trying to get a good photo when almost all incident photons are absorbed.

I can relate. When Darling Daughter (Blond and blue, just about the whitest non-albino you'd ever see) started dating, her first Beau was a rather dark Filipino lad.

I had a dickens of a time photographing the happy couple. If he wasn't a featureless shadow, she was a blank white slate with two black dots for pupils.

FINALLY I had him stand in full sunlight and her beside him in shadow.

That worked!

Our black Belgian Sheepdog playing in the snow. She does not seem to be offended thatt snow is white.

[PLMerite]

Black dogs matter. /ducking

[Teotwawki]

I’ve got a black dog. Out in the country where there are no street lights and if there isn’t a moon out, you can’t seem him at night, at all. I’ve play wrestled with him and couldn’t see him even when he had hold of my arm.

Black chickens...
