My puppy dog has the same problem.

IIRC, it's a result of the dead blood cells excreted.

If you have black stool, you need to go to the doctor as It is a sign of internal bleeding.

the darker the color, the more protein you've consumed.

Or to be more accurate:

the browner the shit, the less protein was absorbed by your body, indicating an abundance of protein.

If you have light yellowish tan colored shits, eat more meat/whey

edit: unless its really dark, then you might have internal bleeding as suggested by another poster.

Bacteria eat the bilirubin expelled from your body from dead blood cells turn your poo poo brown.

If you eat a lot of protein and your poo comes out tan or yellow, you might have Jaundice.
