According to Wikipedia - "One problem shelters are fighting to overcome is what they term "Big Black Dog Syndrome". Big black dogs are consistently the hardest dogs to place — even if they’re friendly, well trained, and in perfect health. This may be due to a number of factors, including fear stigma against certain breed types, attraction to ads and the fact that black dogs do not photograph as well as lighter coated ones, and the fact that black dogs are often portrayed as aggressive in film and on television. Organizations have started campaigns to educate the public about Black Dog Syndrome."

Currently, GFNJ has several gorgeous black greyhounds available for adoption.

 The brand new Summer 2009 Celebrating Greyhounds has an article "Doggie Discrimination - Black is beautiful".

The last line in the article: "For this season and every season, Black is the new Black.”
