Big Black Fluffy Dog : (9 Interesting Facts)

If you want a dog that has an impressive appearance alongside a commanding presence, then one that is big, black and fluffy may fit the bill. In this article, you will find information on various dogs that are big, black and fluffy.

In a big black fluffy dog, you find a combination of an imposing stature, elegance and cuddliness. The big fluffy black dog may be a Giant Schnauzer, Borzoi, Newfoundland or a Chow Chow. Others include the Briard, Tibetan Mastiff and the Black Russian Terrier, among many more breeds.

Generally, any black long haired dog that is also big in physique would qualify for inclusion here.

It may turn out to be an all black big dog whose coat is also fluffy. Or it could be a dog that is only partially black. Thus a big fluffy black and white dog may also qualify, as may a big fluffy brown and black dog.

But we also have ‘purists’, who will only consider a dog if it is solid black. In that case then, the big fluffy black and white dogs alluded earlier wouldn’t qualify. Same with the likes of the big black and brown fluffy dog.

Whichever approach one opts to go with, the black big fluffy dog is a package comprising an imposing stature, elegance and cuddliness.

In these big black fluffy dogs, the imposing stature is simply due to the ‘big’ size.

Further, in a fluffy big black dog, the elegance is on account of the black color. A black dog – especially an all-black dog – tends to be very elegant.

And in a black fluffy big dog, the cuddliness is of course on account of the long/thick fur. That is what makes the dog fluffy and cuddly.

What Exactly Is A Big Black Fluffy Dog?

As its name suggests, a black big fluffy dog is one that has three qualities.

The first quality is a big size. Thus the big fluffy black dogs under consideration here are those whose size is truly imposing.

The second quality is black color. Thus what makes a big fluffy dog black is the presence of black color on its coat. This may be solid black. Or it may be partial black.

If we include partial black here, then a big black and white fluffy dog would qualify for consideration. So would a big black fluffy dog with brown and white areas.

Even a tri-color big fluffy black brown and white dog may come under consideration…

But we do have to mention that when they set out in search of black big fluffy dogs, some people only want solid black ones. Thus for such a person, only a big black hairy dog qualifies.

By inference there, a big fluffy white and black dog wouldn’t come under consideration at all.

So there are those who would consider a black and white big fluffy dog, and those who wouldn’t. But we also have those for whom a black and white fluffy big dog would qualify for this list.

What we have said with regard to a big white and black fluffy dog would also apply other colors.

Ultimately though, the dog needs to be solid black or with substantial portions of its coat that are black.

The Third Quality

We said that a fluffy black big dog is defined by three qualities. So far, we have looked at two: an imposing stature (big size) and black color. So what is the third quality?

The third quality is fluffiness. What makes the big black dogs fluffy is long coat hair. So that is really what makes a big black dog fluffy.

Thus some may refer to it as a big black fuzzy dog, Others may refer to it as a big black shaggy dog. Further, a reference to a big shaggy black dog would also be apt here.

All in all, besides being big and black, the dog also needs to have long coat hair or fur. In other words, it is a long hair black dog that is also big in size. One could even go as far as referring to it as a big black puffy dog.

Note that not every long haired black dog qualifies under our criteria. It actually has to be a big black furry dog. Besides being black and having long hair, it also needs to have an imposing stature.

That would make it a large long haired black dog. It is a big dog with long black hair.

So to reiterate, the three qualities that define a black big fluffy dog are: an imposing stature (big size), black color and long coat hair. It is a big black long haired dog.

Which Dog Breeds Are Big Black And Fluffy?

There are many big fluffy black dog breeds. In this context, a big black fluffy dog breed is one in which we find some dogs that are big in size, black in color and with long coat hair.

Earlier, we said that what makes a black fluffy dog big is simply a larger-than-average physique. Thus the big black fluffy dog breeds are those in which there are dogs with big physiques.

In the big black dog long hair is also essential, if it is to be included in this list. Or at least in the big black dog long fur has to be present, to earn a spot under our criteria.

Fur and hair are not exactly synonymous. You may have a big black long fur dog or a big long haired black dog.

Thus the big black long haired dog breeds are also those in which we find dogs with lots of fur or hair.

And of course, the large black fluffy dog breeds are those in which the black color is possible. In fact, the big black furry dog breeds we will be looking at are those in which black color is common.

An example of a big fluffy black dog breed is the Giant Schnauzer. This is a breed in which we often find long black haired dogs.

Another example of a breed in which you may find long haired tall black dogs is that of Borzoi. In this breed, you often find big fluffy dogs black in color.

A long black haired dog may also be a Newfoundland, Chow Chow, Briard, Tibetan Mastiff or Black Russian Terrier.

Let us look at those 7 breeds in turns.

Giant Schnauzer

The Giant Schnauzer is a big dog in size, with long hair and it sometimes comes in black color.

Thus if you want a big black long hair dog, the Giant Schnauzer is worth considering.

Besides being large black dogs with long hair, Giant Schnauzers also have sweet personalities.

To be more specific, this is a big black tall dog (standing at up to almost 28 inches height), and with a fluffy coat. So it is a truly big black dog with long hair.

We do have to mention that not all Giant Schnauzers are black in color. But a good number do tend to be black. And if you do encounter a black hair dog belonging to the Giant Schnauzer breed, it will tend to also be big in size and fluffy.

In this big black dog curly hair is sometimes present. This is a double-coat dog, on which curly hair is a possibility.

There is only challenge you may encounter, if you opt for a large black long haired dog belonging to the Giant Schnauzer breed. And that is with regard to exercising the dog.

This is a high energy dog, requiring considerably much exercise and play.

Borzoi

Borzois are usually big in size: getting as tall as 28 inches. They have long hair. And they sometimes come in black. Thus here you effectively find a big black fluffy dog looks like a bear.

It may not be the largest black dog that is also fluffy, but its stature is remarkable nonetheless.

For people seeking fairly big black furry dogs with strong personalities, Borzois tend to be a good fit. This is the sort of dog that doesn’t require constant baby-siting.

Of all possible Borzoi colors, black seems to be the commonest. Thus when seeking to acquire a Borzoi, there is a high chance of finding a black one on first attempt.

The only difficulty you may encounter while dealing with your Borzoi is its strong personality. This necessitates very thorough training – otherwise the dog could go out of control completely.

Newfoundland

A typical Newfoundland often turns out to be a large black dog with long hair.

So in this remarkably big dog long black hair that is straight (rather than curly) tends to be present. Therefore it is a big long black haired dog.

To be sure, a Newfoundland can also be brown or gray. But black is also a common color for these dogs. In a random drawing, chances of finding a black Newfoundland (which is also large and furry) are high.

In terms of height, a Newfoundland easily goes up to 28 inches. While searching for the largest black dog breed that is easily available, Newfoundland would tend to feature near the top.

There are other larger breeds, but they are usually not very easily available. Among the breeds that are actually easily available, and are large and furry, Newfoundland features prominently.

The only challenge you may face with a Newfoundland is in the need for frequent (and tiresome) grooming.

Chow Chow

The most remarkable thing about the Chow Chow is its fluffiness.

In terms of size, some would describe it as being ‘large to medium size’. Thus it is a large to medium size black long hair dog.

Besides black, dark gray (blue) and cream are the other colors in which Chow Chows come. But black – a very adorable solid black – is also a common color for Chow Chows.

The Chow Chow tends to be highly energetic, playful and friendly.

If there is a challenge you will encounter from the Chow Chow, it is with regard to grooming. Since the dog is so fluffy, cleaning it and drying it can be quite a chore.

Otherwise if the color factor is very dear to you, Chow Chow (solid black) would be a perfect choice.

Briard

Often growing as tall as 27 inches, the Briard is by all accounts quite a big dog.

One of the common colors in which Briards come is black. And their coats can be quite flurry.

In it there, we find a big dog black in color and with long coat hair. It qualifies to be termed as a black big fluffy dog.

It may sometimes come across as a dog that is aloof. But once you start interacting with it, you soon realize that the Briard is a very engaging dog. Its personality is nice, and it is not hard to train (given its high intelligence).

The only challenge you may encounter is actually finding a Briard you can take up as a pet. These tend to be relatively rare dogs. But they can be very nice to have, once you manage to find them.

Tibetan Mastiff

In comparison to most other dog breeds, Tibetan Mastiffs can be termed as being relatively big. They can, after all, grow to as big a height as 26 inches. This is quite huge.

Of the several colors that Tibetan Mastiffs usually come in, black is quite common.

And all Tibetan Mastiffs tend to have coats that are fluffy, with long and thick hair.

Going by demeanor, one easily gets the impression that the Tibetan Mastiff is a stubborn dog. But that is actually not the case – as this is in fact a dog that is always trying to please its human masters.

The only aspects of Tibetan Mastiff ownership you may find challenging are those of feeding and meeting exercise needs.

Black Russian Terrier

This is one dog breed that actually includes the word ‘Black’ in its name.

Thus the color for this dog tends to be solid black. Its size is remarkably huge. And its coat has long hair. So it is a truly black big fluffy dog.

Living with a black Russian Terrier tends to be easy: as it is a loyal, eager-to-please dog.

As with all other fluffy dogs, the only challenge you may encounter is when it comes to grooming this dog. That requires time, considerable energy and patience.

In the final analysis though, the Black Russian Terrier is remarkably imposing, elegant and cuddly.
