If your house is anything like mine, there’s always a dog nearby — lying on the couch, following you to the kitchen, or giving you those big puppy eyes from across the room. Dogs just make everything better, and that includes colouring time.
I’ve put together a collection of 17 free dog coloring pages featuring all kinds of breeds and scenes — from a labrador catching a frisbee to a tiny chihuahua sitting in a teacup. There’s a good mix of simple designs for younger kids and more detailed pages for adults who want something relaxing to work on.

Cute Puppy Coloring Pages
Let’s start with the pages that’ll make you go “awww.” These puppy designs are perfect for younger kids or anyone who just wants something sweet and simple to colour.
Labrador Catching a Frisbee
This energetic labrador is mid-jump, reaching for a frisbee at the park. Lots of movement lines and a grassy background make this one fun to colour with bright greens and warm browns.

Sleepy Puppy in a Dog Bed
There’s something so peaceful about a sleeping puppy. This little one is curled up in a cozy dog bed with a stuffed toy, complete with floating zzz’s. A calming page that’s great for winding down.

Puppy and Kitten Best Friends
A puppy and kitten cuddled together on a cushion with their tails intertwined — if this doesn’t melt your heart, nothing will. Kids especially love this one because it combines two of their favourite animals.

Teacup Chihuahua
A tiny chihuahua sitting inside a flower-decorated teacup — oversized eyes, a little bow on its head, and steam rising from the cup. It’s as adorable as it sounds, and it’s a great page for practising fine detail colouring.

Dog Breed Coloring Pages
Each of these pages features a specific breed with enough detail to keep things interesting. Whether you have a favourite breed or want to colour them all, there’s plenty of variety here.
Dalmatian Dog
This spotted dalmatian is surrounded by paw prints with one paw playfully raised. The fun challenge here is deciding whether to leave the spots white or colour them in — there are no rules!

Dachshund in a Sweater
A long-bodied dachshund wearing a knitted sweater, walking through autumn leaves. This one is perfect for autumn colouring — think warm oranges, reds, and cozy sweater patterns.

Fancy Poodle at a Café
A poodle wearing a beret, sitting at a Parisian café with the Eiffel Tower in the background. This whimsical design is a hit with adults who appreciate a bit of humour in their colouring pages.

Husky in the Snow
A fluffy husky puppy playing in the snow with snowflakes falling and mountains in the background. Perfect for anyone who loves winter scenes — try using cool blues and purples for the snowy landscape.

Corgi with Flower Crown
A corgi wearing a crown of daisies and sunflowers, sitting in a meadow with butterflies. This is one of the prettiest pages in the collection — so many colour possibilities with all those flowers.

German Shepherd with Books
A studious German shepherd puppy lying next to a stack of books with a reading lamp. This one always makes me smile — it’s giving bookworm energy and it’s surprisingly calming to colour.

Fun Scene Dog Coloring Pages
These pages put dogs into fun scenarios — from the beach to the farm to a superhero adventure. They’ve got more background detail, which makes them great for older kids and adults.
Beach Day Dog
A dog building a sandcastle at the beach, wearing sunglasses with ocean waves in the background. There’s a bucket, starfish, and shells to colour too. This screams summer holiday vibes.

Superhero Bulldog
A bulldog puppy in a superhero cape, flying through clouds with comic book-style stars and swoosh lines. Kids absolutely love this one — and honestly, adults do too. Who doesn’t want a flying bulldog?

Shih Tzu Bubble Bath
A happy shih tzu in a bubble bath surrounded by rubber ducks and floating soap bubbles. All those round bubbles are surprisingly satisfying to colour — try different shades of blue and purple for a dreamy effect.

Border Collie on the Farm
A border collie herding sheep on a hillside with a barn and fence in the background. This is one of the more detailed pages — great for someone who wants a longer, more immersive colouring session.

Beagle in the Garden
A beagle chasing a butterfly through a garden filled with tulips and roses. The mix of the energetic dog and the peaceful garden makes this one really appealing — and all those flowers are a colourist’s dream.

Best Friends Trio
Three different breeds — a labrador, a pug, and a border collie — sitting together wearing matching bandanas. This page is perfect for dog lovers who can’t pick a favourite breed.

Dog Mandala Coloring Page
If you love mandalas, this one’s for you. It features dog faces, paw prints, bones, and hearts arranged in a beautiful symmetrical circular pattern. Mandala designs are brilliant for relaxation and mindfulness — the repetitive patterns are almost meditative to colour.

Tips for Coloring Dog Pages
Here are a few tips I’ve picked up from years of colouring (and teaching art!):
- Start with the background first — it’s easier to work from back to front so your hand doesn’t smudge the dog’s fur details.
- Use light layers for fur texture — instead of pressing hard, build up colour gradually. This gives a more realistic, fluffy look.
- Mix media if you want — coloured pencils for the detailed bits, markers for bold backgrounds, and gel pens for sparkly accents.
- Don’t stress about staying in the lines — especially for the furry edges. A bit of overlap can actually make the fur look more natural.
- Print on heavier paper if using markers — regular printer paper can bleed through. Card stock or 120gsm paper works much better.
