Are dogs colorblind?
- The belief that dogs are colorblind, in the sense that they see the world only in black and white and shades of gray, is a common misconception.
- Dogs do have color vision. However the range of colors that dogs see is much more limited than the range of colors that we humans see.
- Dogs can still see colors, but their visual world is reduced to yellows, blues, and shades of gray.
From Dogs prefer using color information over brightness in their conscious choices. Published on July 22, 2013 by Stanley Coren, Ph.D., F.R.S.C. in Canine Corner http://www.psychologytoday.com

This is great when mum is walking an agility course and thinking my point of view with things like weave entries.

Yes and it’s something to keep in mind when choosing toys. The orange toys might be harder to see in the grass!

Interesting, Jo. I wonder how other animals like goats and bears see color. Something else to add to my reading list! 🙂
