Unique Black Dog Jewelry for Holiday Gifts

The rescue jewelry at For Love of a Dog always makes good gifts for animal rescue volunteers, but our black dog jewelry happens to be some of our favorite pieces.  Since today is Black Friday, it seemed right to bark about it a bit.

Shown above is a black dog necklace that features a wonderful artisan lampwork black dog focal.  Three dimensional and handmade by a Colorado artisan.  I created the necklace by hand wire wrapping natural tigerseye gemstone beads and sweet black lampwork dog bone beads with gold jeweler's wire.  One of a kind necklace will not be repeated.

Shown below is a red crystal black dog lover necklace - with a big fat heart, of course.

The black dog bracelet below also has some of these very cool glass dog head beads that I imported from the UK.  This time I combined them with creamy white freshwater pearls and sweet hand carved black onyx gemstone stars.  

Fetch For Love of a Dog for more of our handmade dog rescue jewelry.  You'll find more black dogs featured in necklaces, bracelets and pins.  Remember, most jewelry pieces are one of a kind.  When they're gone, they're gone.

Barking good gifts for anyone involved in animal rescue work.  A great way to gather compliments and start conversations that can save the lives of black dogs in animal shelters.

Black Friday: Black Dogs and Black Dog Syndrome

Black Friday.  

For thousands of black dogs, every Friday is black Friday.

Black Dog Syndrome:  dogs that are large and black, especially Labrador Retrievers, shepherd mixes, pit bulls and Rottweilers are passed over time after time in favor of smaller, lighter colored dogs when it comes to animal shelter and rescue adoptions.

A Petfinder member shelter and rescue groups survey found that most pets are listed for 12.5 months on Petfinder.  Black, senior and special needs pets spend almost four times longer on Petfinder.

According to an article published in Psychology today,  Stanley Coren notes:

"There has been speculation that the reason black dogs are being rejected is part of the fabric of our cultural heritage. In ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Norse mythologies, black dogs are often associated with death and the supernatural. They are emissaries of evil and in the folklore of Britain and Europe these demonic black hounds can be found hovering around the border spaces between this world and the next, such as graveyards and places where violence has occurred. The black dogs of folklore are not too very different from normal dogs, except that they are large and very dark, and if you look at their eyes they will sometimes flash red with a fiery glow. Certainly if the Devil has a dog he is big and black."

Coren conducted a survey which allowed people to express their feelings toward dogs which differ only in color.  He tested a total of 60 individuals, targeting Labrador Retrievers using head-shot photographs.  Subjects were asked how much they liked the look of the dog, how friendly they thought it was, how good it would bge as a family pet, and how likely it would be for the dog to be aggressive.

Black dogs rated lower than the other colored (yellow and chocolate) dogs across the board.

As the Black Dog Rescue Project insists:  A dogs coat color has no affect on a dogs temperament and personality.  When adopting your next best friend, be aware that Black Dog Syndrome is real.  Take a second look around the animal shelter and make sure you have not overlooked the black dogs.
