Black and Tan (or Brown) Dogs

Dogs with black and tan coats come with added elegance and sophistication. Though the black-and-tan or black-and-brown coloration is probably one of the most common color combinations one would come across, it has not affected its popularity at all.

Most dogs with this coloration have a black body with tan or brown markings or patches on their legs, paws, face, and ears. In some breeds, the brown markings may take a more intriguing appearance, like in the Black and Tan Coonhound with its brown eyebrows.
