Did you know that black dogs in general are discriminated against? They are more often found in shelters than any other colored dog and are the least likely to be adopted. I don’t know why. I think black is beautiful! In fact, three out of four of my dogs are black.
Below you will find my gallery of beautiful black Chihuahuas. Some of them may have a touch of another color in them but the dominant color will be black. Where I know the Chi’s and their pet parent’s name, I’ll be sure to add it under the photo.
So sit back, enjoy some beautiful, lovable Black Chihuahuas!
Of course, I had to start with my own Chihuahua, Kilo. Sadly, she has passed now. As you can see, she wasn’t completely black. Her muzzle and a little bit of her chest were white. She actually had a little white on her legs too, but it was mixed in with black and looked grey. Love and miss my Kilo!
Lucas is my current black dog. He is a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix. I also have a black Yorkie named Bear. Lucas came from a hoarding issue, so he has some food aggression issues. But other than that, he’s a very sweet boy.
This little beauty is named Nevaeh the Chihuahua and is loved by Tammy Lynn Hill-Hendershot.
Here’s another Chi that looks to be pure black. His name is Maxx, and his mommy is Adriana Llanas Rivera.
Aren’t these two gorgeous? This is Emmy and Oscar (cute, huh?), and they belong to Joys van der Weide.
This little guy looks like he’s a lot of fun, huh? His name is Chico, and his mom is Carla Bake.
I love the eyes on this Chihuahua.Her (I think it’s a she) is Gypsy. She is loved by Lisa Noyes.
We have another Max, short for Maximus Prime. Doesn’t he look like a sweetie? His mom is Tatjana Hairston.
This little Chihuahua is black and white and may have a little tan in him, too, which would make him a Black Tri-Colored. His name is Peanut, and his mommy is Tammy Roberts Tighe. His mom says he’s a sweet boy, but doesn’t like cats.
Don’t you just want to cuddle this sweet little long haired puppy? I sure do.
Isn’t this Black and White Chihuahua striking? I don’t know his or her name but the pet parent is Bern Muniz.
This cutie pie is Pasha. That’s all the information I have about him or her.
I don’t have any info on this sweet little girl, but she looks ready for a ride in the car.
This is a Black and Tan Long Haired Chihuahua puppy named Snickers. Precious!
I don’t know anything about this little Chi, but I love how his/her eyes seem to look into your soul.
This gorgeous little black and white Chi is named Harley. Love that smile!
This is Little Miss Lollie Pop. She a Tri-color Black Chi. See the tan leg there? That’s where the third color comes in.
This perky little pup is named BJ. What a cutie!
This gorgeous long-haired black and tan Chihuahua is named Luna Star. Look at those beautiful eyes!
This gorgeous pure black Chihuahua is appropriately named Blacky.
Pretty little long-haired Chihuahua looks like she isn’t ready to get out of bed yet.
I don’t know anything about this little guy, but doesn’t it look like he’s saying “Play with me!” ?
This cute little Black and White Chihuahua is named Pandy.
This cute black and white Chihuahua pup is named T-Rex. Somehow it’s appropriate and funny too.
OMG! Look at this cute, adorable baby!
This pretty little Tri-colored Chi belongs to Lorna Nugent.
Black and tan Louie looks ready to play.
These handsome lads are Killer and Diesel.
Can you find the Chihuahua?
Pretty eyes! Love this little guy!
This tri-colored boy is named Charlie.
This cute little guy is Teddy, and he belongs to Pat de Lacey. Pat says Teddy is 5 years old. He was the last gift given to her by her husband before he passed away.
So that’s our gallery of black Chis! Hope you enjoyed it!

I have a beautiful black chihuahua named Bella. She fills our hearts with love and joy.
She’s beautiful Leanne! I’ll have to add her when I do part 2 in a few months.
My tri Chi is named Missy…she is a rescue…and the sweetest, best dog I have ever loved…and I have loved many.
She looks like a sweetie Ann. I’ll add her too when I do part 2 of this post.
I am trying to send you photos of my two gorgeous chis but can’t seem to load where it says choose file
You can email them to me Sharon at cathy@ilovemychi.com
Hi Cathy thanks for sharing out so many beautiful black chis photo.
I have a black chis too , her name is mimi. I would like to share out one of her beautiful photo to you.
Awww,Mimi is a beauty Serena!
Simply PAWdorable 🙂 Nice to meet you!
Luv it. The pic i posted is nevaehs mom
You too Groovy Goldendoodles!
I got a black pug!
I actually think black pugs are cuter than tan ones!
I tried to post the pic but its not letting me
Hmm, I’m not sure why Michelle. Others are able to post on here so it’s not broke. You can always email me your photo at cathy@ilovemychi.com if you want.
I have a black bulldog myself. I have had that thought, if she were in a shelter would my sweet girl be passed up? All of those pups are just darling!
Sad to say Katherine but odds are she probably would be passed up.
They are all so beautiful! I don’t know why people discriminate against black pets. Black cats have a difficult time getting adopted too. I think there is some strange cultural hold over from the middle ages or something.
Yeah I know the bias is against black cats too Robin and it’s so unfair.
I have to believe it’s harder to get really good pictures of black dogs. This is true for all breeds. Black dogs in general are the last to be adopted. So let’s put the flash on and put really good pics out the of our K-9 blackies!
Amen Lori!
I’m glad you are drawing attention to the issue of black pets not being adopted from shelters. I don’t understand why it is such a problem. You’d think people would realize that if you wear dark colored slacks, the fur doesn’t show as much!
Yeah I don’t understand the bias either Vicki. Black pets are just as lovable and wonderful as any other color.
We had a black cat named Sootie (she passed last July at the age of 18). We also have a black chi named Margarita. Her face was totally black with some white on her neck when she was a puppy. She has added lots of gray to her face and hips 🙂
She’s a cutie Angela! Kilo is getting greyer as she gets older too.
This is my black Chi, Violet. She is precious and her ears are my favorite! I adopted her from the Humane Society in 2013, she is almost 2 years old.
Violet is beautiful and so is her friend!
I wanted to share my black Chi Chico. He passed from my life last month and I still miss my buddy. He was 18 and a rescue and had a very full life with me. For sure black is beautiful although when the gray shows up it can’t be topped. In memoriam to Chico.
RIP little Chico! He was a cute little man. So sorry for your loss Dennis.
I love the way Chico aged! My little sweet Henry (tan and white) was the best little baby I have ever seen and when the grey began to show up, I was very sad. He had to be put down this past Feb. He had a neurological problem for which there was no cure, so I share the grief you feel now. I have two new little babies, Rosa female black with mostly dark reddish tones and my sweet William who is tan and fawn. I love them so much but they cannot take the place of Henry. I am sorry you are hurting but there is another baby waiting for you someplace. Good luck to you!
Kilosmom, Thanks for letting me share.
You’re welcome Dennis. Feel free to share anytime you want.
My sweetie Little Man
He’s adorable Diane!
Jules Vega – Chihuahua Extraordinaire
What a cutie Elaine!
Thank you!!! He’ll be a year old in two weeks! I’m just in love! He has definitely stolen my heart!
This is Spanky my baby boy chi , he is 13 , used to be black except for the tuxedo white on his chest, now he is getting white all over ,I’ve had him since he was 6 wks old , love my baby boy chi
He’s a cutie Debbie. Kilo used to be all black too but is getting a lot of grey in her too.
I have 3 beautiful black chis: they are my fav
I really like black ones too Lazar.
I agree, black chis are my favorite, too!
This is Frito, I lost him almost 2 years ago, but it still feels like yesterday. He was a year old in the pic on the left. The pic on the right was taken not too long before he passed. However, he lived to be 16 years old. He had a wonderful and long life, but no matter how long, it’s never enough. <3
Young or old, Frito was handsome!
This is my little Zephyr, at about 5 months and I think black chihuahuas are wonderful! Zephyr is jet black and she shines in the sun! LoL
She’s a cutie and I love her name.
This is our addition to our family – our black Chihuahua named “Muttley”. He’s such a joy for us and just turned 1-year old in August. He’s my new Baby!
I love his little face Gwen.
This Black/tan girl is Lady Midnight; she’s a working actor with more than a dozen films, 6 music videos and a fashion shoot, on her CV.
She appears often on UK TV shows, and loves (and is loved by) everyone she meets!
I count myself truly fortunate to have been chosen by her—yes, out of a litter of 4, SHE was the one who chose ME!!
Wow we have a celebrity in our midst!
I really love the black chis with a tiny bit of white, like Kilo. I would still be looking for one if we had not found Pinto Bean. The black is beautiful. I don’t know why a person would pass one up in favor of another color.
I never understood why there was a bias against black chis either Dixie. They are beautiful!
I have a beautiful black and white chihuahua. His name is Diego, he is 4 years old, longhair.
He’s gorgeous Christa!
Diego is certainly a beautiful Chi and what a perfect little face!! I would certainly love to have a Chi like him. Thanks for sending his pic, it is always a lot of fun to see the pics. Sending one pic of my puppys, William and Rosa.
The pic of William did not come through but here my puppys are looking so sweet when they were a little younger.
It’s been 2 months since nemo passed away.I miss him so much .
I’m so sorry Peter. I know how hard it is. Nemo was so cute.
Thank you 4 posting his pictures it makes my smile.black Chihuahuas r so beautiful ?
Merry Christmas everyone.
Oh, Peter, I am so sorry for the loss of Nemo and the pain you feel. I know that pain all too well. Nothing hurts our hearts quite like the loss of our fur babies. We need a lot of time for grieving and missing our little babies! Nemo was so beautiful.
Thank you . I loss the love of my life.
I just got my best friend back .nemo is home again .Happy New Year.
Peter, I do not understand how you got your best friend back if Nemo passed two months ago. Did you get a new Chi baby? If you did then congratulations on the new Chi pup and the new best friend will help a lot in lessening the loss. Send us a pic of your new best friend, would love to see it!!!
Dixie, I think he means he has Nemo’s ashes back.
I’m glad he’s back Peter. Happy New Year!
I did not know that, but it is very good to have the ashes now. I was so happy to get Henry’s ashes and Irene’s ashes. It sure helps to have the urn where you can see it. Peter, I am so glad you have Nemo’s ashes and have a very safe and very blessed NEW YEAR!!
I got nemo preserved. Want to see pictures?
I would love to see pictures!! I have sent these pics before but I will send them again for you, Peter. My sweet HENRY , MY LITTLE POP OF PERSONALITY and lovely sweet lady IRENE, I LOVE YOU, MY SWEET BABY GIRL. Looking fwd to seeing the pictures!
That urn holds Irene and this one holds Henry. Oh, how I did love them and miss them both everyday!
Peter, yes, please send pics. I would like to see how he is preserved, cremated and the urn his ashes are in. Thanks in advance!
Have no pictures at this time. My little chi is black,he just so cute his name is Jack .
I bet he is cute Earline. I like the name Jack for a dog.
Don’t forget my two little black beauties!
Love them! So cute! Thanks for sharing them Lisa.
This is our little boy named Che. He is a rescue dog from our local shelter.
He’s so cute Deborah!
beautiful! my chi, candie, is mostly white with pretty brown markings & a brown circle on her apple head. she is obsessed with her feet. licks them a lot. has them looking awful. any thoughts? what can i do to persuade her to quit this? thanks!
Good question Cynthia. Sometimes it’s an Obsessive Compulsive thing. Sometimes it’s from a yeast infection and sometimes from allergies.If it’s medical, your vet may be able to prescribe something but if it’s an OCD thing, it’s harder to stop. I can ask on the Facebook page if you want to see if anyone else has ideas on what to do.
I have a 2/12 tri colored one looks just like the last one. I have 2 one is 12 years old and the other is the 2/12 one
Thanks for sharing Debra!
Named Brandy marie. The other one is Abbygayl rosie
Great names.
I have a Black and Tan male chihuahua and his name is Pepe
Thanks for sharing that with us Debbie!
I have 2 all black Pom-chis. We love t hem dearly.
Are they related to each other? I bet they are cuties.
I have a cute little Chihuahua named Peanut. She is our sweet girl. I love the black Chihuahuas.
I love them too Brenda.
I’m looking for a little brother or sister for my Mia. She’s very lonely since her playmate passed away.. I cried so much when she passed. I had her “Jo Jo” for 14 yrs.We miss her soo much..
I’m so sorry for your loss Sandy.
I don’t know of any available chis but we do have some posts on how to find one. Let me know if you are interested and I’ll give you the links.
Need one
I recently adopted a chi who is an 8 year old darling boy. I don’t have a photo of him yet but he is so adorable. He is a combo of black, white and grey – all in spots that make him the more adorable. My other dog is a wire-haired female terrior and they are trying to get used to each other. I wish I could adopt a bunch of other dogs but I’m almost 82 years old and widowed. That is why if I did adopt another dog he or she would have to be at lease 7 or 8 years old. Sorry this is so long but I have had dogs all my life and I love them so very very much. I love cats too and have had many of them over the years but up here there are ravens that are so huge and it’s hard to keep them from going outside, especially as I have a doggy door but the back yard is fenced. Sorry this is so long. Thanks for everything you are doing.
I’m so glad you adopted a senior dog. They are often overlooked.
I don’t know why black chis are considered least acceptable. I love the black chi babies. I don’t see many of them
I don’t understand it either Dixie. I actually got Bear (who is a black Yorkie) because I know the breeder and she told me the person who planned on buying him backed out when they found out he was all black. So sad!
I have a black Chihuahua named Ozzy 3 1/2 years old . Very loving dog, loves to be with me and my wife and little brother Axl that’s 6 months old and white colouring. They look so cute together.
I bet they are adorable together. Thanks for sharing about Ozzy!
this mix of black and tri color chis are stunning, no matter the color a chi is a chi. I have had the blessing of all colored chis, long coat short coat, dear head and apple head. They will always be my favorite breed no matter what the color is. Your website Cathy does these little sweeties proud and always brightens my day. All the best with your health treatments and God Bless you and your family and chis. XOXO
Thank you Sandra!
I have two chihuahuas Vin and Diesel.
Diesel is a red sable and a tiny royal menace. He also picked me; I didn’t pick him. I knew I wanted a chihuahua when I went to see the litter, but I wasn’t sure who would suit my personality best. I was laying on the floor playing with everyone and Diesel just climbed up on my back and went to sleep. How could I say no to that?
Vin is black with white markings and the sweetest little guy. I got him after Diesel and from the same breeder. I don’t normally pick a dog out before meeting them, but something told me that I needed to have this little black fluff-ball join my family. I know now it’s because my partner was destined to de picked as Vin’s person. Vin just loves my partner and he loves Vin back. It’s beautiful 🥰
It must have been meant to be.
I have a sweet boy Mike. He is going to be 24 years old in March 2023. He lives with my husband as I can not have him where I live now.He is a true color black. My husband always tells people Mike is a German shepherd that shrunk in the bath. If I can figure out how to send his most current pictures , I will. The little camera attachment icon isn’t showing up on this comment.
Wow 24! That’s amazing.
People can no longer add comments to the blog as the app I use to use to allow that stopped working and I wasn’t able to find a replacement.
I did get your email though and answered you.
loved them all Cathy! i had a little black and tan Chi named Tyson and he passed about 15 yrs ago ! i still miss him even now ! he was so smart and precious !
I’m glad you loved them Cheryl!
I also have 2 beautiful black chihuahuas . Champ is 10 , and his son is 8 . I got Champ at 7 weeks . Would love to send in their pics .
