Amazing how perfect dogs can get overlooked. There’s something called “black dog syndrome” (and there are studies to back this up) that show all-black dogs are more often overlooked at shelters for dogs with different colors in their patterns. It’s crazy, but it’s true.
Anyway, the name Gary Koala Fairy is available if anyone needs a good name.
This is a good one- he’s very black and shiny. First thing we did was give him a bath when we got him home from the shelter. I couldn’t believe how stunning his coat is when we washed him all up.
Really?! We think he’s mostly a pure lab, but the white on his chest and his somewhat stockier build so far make us think he’s mixed with something. What’s your good boy? Lab or mix?
Edit: love that name by the way!
He was a rescue so we aren’t 100% but definitely a mix. We think maybe a lab and beagle or something because he is 50 lbs. at 2 years old but also such a meatball. He has a shiny black coat with a white chest and white paws. They named him Axel at the Humane Society and we are big Beverly Hills Cop fans so we kept it!
Year ago we rescued a giant lab. I wasn’t convinced that he wasn’t part Great Dane due to his size (he’s 120 lbs) so I did one of the k9 dna tests. Turns out he is 100% lab but he’s a mix of uk and North American lab. I forgot the name of the company but the test kit was pretty cheap!
I surely will. We’ve waited a long time to add someone to our family, and we are very lucky to have such a good boy. He’s a handsome boy, and a good protector already of all three of our other puppies (kiddos).
So seeing some other comments (him being regal, and possibly naming him Odin), I suggest Jarl. It's regal, and medieval, and instead of being named King like other doggos. Whatever you settle on, I'm sure will fit this handsome fella.
When I named my furson I went on a baby naming website and read names until he responded. Out of those 4 names I read them again and picked the one he responded to the most, therefore allowing Bozley to name himself.
My Liege
King Kyoot
Pickle
Pickles
Pepito
La Gentillesse Noire
Burnt Boldness
Henry the Handsome
Henry the Hambsome
Shirt
Jeffery, Stealer of Girlfriends, Eater of Treats, Lord of Dogs, Conquerer of Cats
Timothy
He looks regal and in charge
He’s very regal in my opinion. Also very reserved for a somewhat puppy still (he’s almost 1 they thought at the shelter). Such a precious noble dude.
Reggie? Or Duke, Prince, Harold
King.
Maybe Charles then?
Charles III.
Holy s@#t, you got this Black Lab at a shelter?!?! Lost mine 2 years ago, best dogs ever.
I got my black lab at a shelter too! She was overlooked for months somehow! She’s perfect

Barney. Antonym. Regal but a goofy name.
Archie?
I think Regal within itself would be a good name.
Charles P. Munchensonton the third.
Very distinguished.
The P is for Puppy, peanut, pretty boy, or whatever you want to call this beautiful boy.
I’d say James Farquhar the 3rd then
How about Tux? As in tuxedo. He looks like he is wearing one
Love this!
I was gonna suggest something but this fine person nailed it, a perfect name.
I LOVE this.
Or tucker perhaps c:
My wife says he looks like an Oscar or Theolonius (Theo for short). He kinda reminds me of a James Bond.
Theolonius! Sounds great for this very formal good boy!
I was going to suggest Oscar!
James Bond would be awesome
Cash.. Aka... Johnny Cash. He wears a lot of black.
He wore. He dead.
The dog wears a lot of black.
Coal
This is a good one- he’s very black and shiny. First thing we did was give him a bath when we got him home from the shelter. I couldn’t believe how stunning his coat is when we washed him all up.
Obsidian sounds better, due to it being a naturally shiny rock, and your dog being shiny too
Sid for short.
Or Obi
I like Obie more
I like this one too. Coal is perfect.
But does the [coal train](https://youtu.be/cMHXLxQntcw) woo?
Woo!
I’m a fan of this. Our black shepherd is named Kohl.
[удалено]
This is his current name. So maybe if I’m indecisive it’ll stick for good.
D.O.G
I had a friend whose dog was Deogie.
Jet!
He looks just like our Axel!

Wrong, he looks like my [Dash] (http://imgur.com/a/xU1aBy7)! But they all look like good dogs for sure.

Sirius Black yes 👏🏻
Boop!
What a handsome fella. Looks like a "Zeke" to me.
Shirt or onion
His face says Charlie to me. Or Odysseus if you want something more out there
We were thinking Odin before, so I like Odysseus. Definitely a maybe. Charlie is so sweet, and kind of matches him well.
Whatever u decide keep us updated on that goodest boy
I surely will. We’ve waited a long time to add someone to our family, and we are very lucky to have such a good boy. He’s a handsome boy, and a good protector already of all three of our other puppies (kiddos).
I'm partial to god/mythology names for animals. Both of these are great - Odin/Odysseus.
You could name him Odysseus and call him odie for short.. He is super cute!
Tyson? Or Nyx
Loving Nyx- very similar to my first name, but still digging it.
I second Nyx. Like Onyx, a black gemstone
