Black Dogs:


I have always wondered why in the shelters or rescues people pass up black dogs. It has never made any sense to me. Six months ago we adopted Klaus who is a black dog. He is everything and more what we would want in a dog. To think he had been passed up for so long in the shelter tells me that some people really missed out on a super good family member. Klaus is a super good boy who actually exceeds the good qualities of our prior dogs and that really says a lot as all our prior dogs have been exceptional. 

I still don't understand why people pass up black dogs with the possible exception of black labs. In their case it is the breed not the color but it is a well known fact that black dogs are much harder to adopt out than other dogs. Passing up that black dog just could be a major mistake as it could not just make your life better but it could make your life a whole lit better. We have not had a dog that is so continuously happy to be a member of our family. Carol says often that he is the only dog we have had that is happy to see her each morning. 

When I think about all the people who passed him up it makes me sad but at the same time grateful they did; otherwise we would not have him and he is very special.
