    Nov 22, Tan Dog Names for that Cream or Beige Dog

    By Janice Jones | Last Updated 11-22-2021

    Looking for tan dog names for your pale brown dog?  

    We started searching for a perfect name for our new gold Shih Tzu and learned that similar dog colors have very different names depending on a breed.  

    So this page is devoted to all of those Cream, Beige, Tan, Buff, Gold, Fawn, Lemon, Fallow, Wheaten and Isabella Colored Dogs that need a terrific name.

    So many words mean basically the same thing in the English Dictionary and we use these descriptive words to describe the color of our dog’s hair or fur.  Think Beige, Tan, Cream, Buff or golden. 

    All mean lighter shades of brown.

    So Many Different Words that Mean Tan

    When it comes to small dogs, the lighter shades of brown also have different names.Consider these dogs:  They are all of similar color, but how we name the color is different.

    Chihuahua:  Fawn

    Pug:  Fawn (for show dogs) but also apricot

    Italian Greyhound: Cream, Fawn, Sable

    Poodle:  Apricot, Cream

    Brussels Griffon: Tan, Wheaton

    French Bulldog:  Cream, Fawn, Cream and White

    Lhasa Apso:  Cream, Golden

    Pomeranian:  Cream

    Shih Tzu:  Gold

    In addition to the dog breed samples above, you may also see Sandy, Lemon, Buff Fallow and Isabella.  For a complete list of tan dog colors, check out this page 



    Why so many different terms to describe basically the same color, you might ask.

    Each dog breed has a breed standard that was written when the breed was first introduced and it is up to the national breed club to write the standard and determine which color words best describe the coat of their breed.  

    While they may all be similar, there is enough differences in each to warrant different terms to represent the colors.

    Without getting technical, there is a whole branch of genetics that deals with canine coat colors and how each breed comes up with their colors depends on the genes.
