Black is a dominant color in many dog breeds. Considering that Labrador Retrievers are the most popular breed in many countries and they are often black, you can see that black purebred and mixed breed dogs are very common. Do you have a black dog or a black and white dog? We have some fun names for you to consider for your best friend. (Many of these names work just as well for black cats.)
