Re: Black dog syndrome (sad) [quote author=bbrown link=topic=4037.msg79771#msg79771 date=1400605024] Mine too in the flesh but it's tricky to get a good photo of him. I'm lucky to have fab photos from Heidrun and another friend who's keen on dog photography my own photos are terrible generally [/quote] Empathy Barbara , Sam ends up looking like a black blob , cant get good definition at all
Re: Black dog syndrome (sad) I had never really thought about it before until a few weeks back a guy walking a black lab stopped to have a natter while the dogs had a sniff and he mentioned he doesn't come across many other black labs. And come to think of it I don't either. Lots of chocolates and a few yellow fellows but not many blacks which is very sad if people are choosing not to get a dog because of its coat. A friend of mine when I was growing up had a black lab and he was awesome.
Re: Black dog syndrome (sad) Most of the labs we see around here are black - quite a lot are gun dogs, and for some reason black ones always seem more common at shoots. Don't know why that would be? I definitely wanted a black (we had black labs when I wad a kid) but I might have been swayed by a fox red. Mira's mother was a gorgeous red, but the yellow pups were very pale, so black it was
Re: Black dog syndrome (sad) I would say that over half the labs up my way are blacks as well. Some yellows and choccies, few fox-reds but not many
Re: Black dog syndrome (sad) I loooove Black dogs and I have 2. Mostly Black Labs where I live with one Yellow and 1 Fox Red x
Re: Black dog syndrome (sad) Clare, I have to stand up for the spelling of "color". We in the US wonder why you put all those extra letters in words unnecessarily!
