Dog Coloring Pages
Make free printable dog coloring pages from 6 pictures we drew ourselves: a puppy, a puppy with a ball, a big dog face, a dog peeking out of its doghouse, a dog on a walk with its lead, and a dog lying down with a bone. Every picture is our own drawing, with no film, cartoon or toy characters, no mascots and no people, so the pages suit any home, party or classroom. The dogs are not any particular breed, so color them as your own dog or invent one. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small pictures, a dogs-at-the-park scene, a fold-in-half card, or a dog mandala with bones round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Blank dogs to design prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain puppy outlines per page, ready for a face, spots or patches; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

Coloring ideas

- Park scene: green grass, a blue sky and a yellow sun make a quick, cheerful page.
Printing tips
- Every page keeps a 12.7 mm (half inch) margin from the paper edge, on US Letter and A4.
