Grey dog coats are often described as “blue”, because the dilute pigment looks a little bit blue. The gene that dilutes the black coats to grey is the recessive dilute gene (d). Only puppies who inherit the d gene from both of their parents have a grey coat. These genes are actually quite controversial in some breeds, such as the Silver Labrador!

The Scottish Deerhound is a large Sighthound breed from Scotland. They grow up to 32 inches tall, and will often weigh over 100 pounds. Females in this breed are generally smaller than males, but both are very large dogs. Although the Scottish Deerhound was used to hunt deer, it is actually known for being quite a calm dog. These gentle giants love having a cuddle on the couch.

The Alaskan Malamute is another big grey dog breed. Although this is often a grey and white dog breed, and can also have black coloring. This large Spitz dog is known for being intelligent, faithful, and friendly. Alaskan Malamutes were bred as pack dogs, so get along well with other people and animals. But, it is still a breed that needs plenty of socialization and training to ensure it grows up happy, friendly, and confident.

Their silky fur requires regular grooming to keep it looking so sleek, and prevent tangles. So, be prepared to spend a lot of time grooming a Silky Terrier. These dogs are smaller than many of the other grey dog breeds on our list, but they do still need plenty of regular exercise. Training is important to keep these dogs both mentally and physically satisfied.

The Old English Sheepdog is one of our favorite fluffy grey and white dog breeds. It often grows above 22 inches tall, weighing between 60 and 100 pounds. However, his fluffy coat can make him look much bigger! Regular grooming and bathing is a must, and you may need to go to a professional groomer to trim your dog’s fur.
