Hmmmmmm. Living with a totally black dog with bright blue eyes got me curious about blue-eyed dogs in general. It's a lot more common to see blue eyes with white, spotted, or merle coats, so it's a bit of a surprise for most people to see a jet black dog with blue eyes. Franki is obviously a mixed-breed dog and looks "labby" around the head for sure. She weighs 50 pounds and is much leaner than Labradors in general.
Franki's size and body shape is long and lean, much like a Dalmatian's.

And her frosty blue eyes are endlessly captivating, looking more blue or closer to white, depending on the light.
I also learned that it's relatively common for Dalmatians to have blue eyes, like this puppy pictured below.
So I am left to wonder ... is Franki a Black Labrador / Dalmatian Mix?
Regardless, she is a great dog with a sweet personality, and has brought so much joy and energy to our home.
