My dog has one black whisker?

I have a great pyrnese he has one black whisker while the rest are white.

It can't be anything wrong with him but why does he have it is it common in dogs?

It's so weird at first I was convinced it ment he was evil especially with his temper it's not bad but he get mad and playful when you mess with him or stop petting him.

    It is just a matter of pigment. White whiskers have no pigment. Black ones do. Sometimes you see black cats with white whiskers, which is very striking. That one white whisker can help you to identify your dog but please have him microchipped, too, because whiskers are shed and regrown just like hair.
