Why can't black dogs have white hooves?

There is a folk saying that black dogs can't keep their white hooves, which is also called stepping on snow with four hooves. It is considered unlucky.

Because in ancient times, undertaker wore black clothes and white shoes, similar to a black dog with white claws. People think that keeping this kind of dog will bring bad luck to the family. But there is no scientific basis and it is not credible. Dog coat color is determined by genes.

White hoofed puppies have no scientific basis. The white feet of dogs are determined by genes, are born and can be raised.

As long as the breeder likes it, he should be responsible for the dog and not abandon it because of superstition without scientific basis. Generally, dogs of this shape are string dogs, which are better than other pet dogs, less likely to get sick, and more loyal to their owners, so they are very suitable for breeding.

Taboo of black dog with white hoof

Dogs with white feet can't be kept, because many people are superstitious and think that dogs with white feet are unlucky and will bring misfortune to their families. A black dog with white paws, that is, a dog with white limbs, is commonly known as "stepping on snow with four hooves".

Many elderly people said that it would be unfortunate to have this kind of dog at home, because when someone died in ancient China, undertaker would wear black clothes and white shoes. This is very similar to the image of a black dog with white claws. When the ancients saw such a dog, they would associate it with the funeral procession, which would be very unlucky.
