What color can a dog see best?

Question

Can anyone give me some websites to go to or maybe some info.

Answer 1

Our trainer gave us a color target to work with for obedience training and the colors used are blue and yellow. She says they can see these colors.

Here's a link that supports my trainer :)

Answer 2

It is not true that dogs are completely colourblind. While dogs do not have the same color vision as humans, they are able to tell yellow from blue. Like a human with red-green colourblindness, they are unable to tell the difference between red and green.

The reason for this limited range, in both the colourblind human and the dog, is that there are only two kinds of colour receptors in the retinas of their eyes. While most humans have three kinds of colour cells, with three different receptor molecules sensitive to blue, greenish-yellow, and red, dogs only have receptors for yellow and greenish-blue.

Hahaha -- yes mine see biscuits best too! Canines eyes can best discriminate blue/yellow. That's why agility obstacles are usually painted blue and yellow! They are terrible at discriminanting red/green. Do a search on canine color vision. There are lots of resources out there.
