Many breeds of dog can have this coloration, which is referred as "black and white (Irish-marked)". Irish-marked is a symmetrical coat pattern where the colour white can appear as a blaze on the head, around the neck as a band and on the muzzle, chest, belly, feet (known as "boots") and the tip of the tail. Less than 50% of the coat is another colour. It is black in this case, yet it can actually be in any other colour such as red, brown, chocolate, lemon, grey, etc.
However, this description consistently fits the appearance of the Border Collie and the Boston Terrier, which are most common in this colour. Many mixed breeds show evidence of the Border collie or the Boston Terrier by having these points in their colouration.
