Christmas Dog Coloring Pages

Make free printable Christmas dog and puppy coloring pages from 13 pictures we drew ourselves: dog in a knitted sweater, puppy peeking out of a present, dog in a scarf in the snow, dog pulling a small sled, dog with a bone-shaped present, sleepy dog under a blanket, two dogs sharing one scarf, puppy with a jingle bell collar, dog with an antler headband, dog catching snowflakes, dog with mittens on a string, dog in a winter hat, big simple dog. Every picture is an everyday dog at Christmas time, sitting up, pulling a sled or asleep, with its eyes closed and things to color round it: a knitted sweater, a present, a scarf, a bobble hat, a jingle bell collar, a felt antler headband, mittens on a string and the snow. None of them is a named, cartoon or film dog or any particular breed, and there is no Santa, no Christmas tree, no stocking and no ornament on these pages. Nothing carries words, brand or product names or logos. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a scene with two dogs, a sled and a snow heap in the snow under clouds and a sun, a fold-in-half card, or a dog mandala with small dogs round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Plain dogs to dress up prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 sitting dogs with no face, so children can draw their own sweater, collar or pattern; 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.

2	120 mm square	129 mm square
4	89 mm square	86 mm square

Sizes are for the page with No title chosen; a title at the top makes them a little smaller. Each plain dog is a sitting dog with no face (8 shapes: head, muzzle, two ears, two front legs, body and tail), so the design is up to you.
