If dogs cant see colours, then why is my Boxer obsessed with orange?

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

My Boxer dog has always been obsessed with anything orange. It started when he pinched babies Tigger from Winnie the pooh. He is drawn to anything stripy and orange. He will go straight to orange toys in the pet shop, stuffed toys in charity shop windows and even his favorite blanket he chooses is orange. I find this confusing as i am always told dogs cant see colours. Is this true?
I bought him a orange tiger stripped furry blanket for his basket and he nearly exploded with happiness. His eyes where bulging! I was told dogs only see black and white???

Bought a boxer from a "backyard breeder" I guess you could say?

I paid 0 for her. She was 10 weeks old when I got her. They gave me a shot record (she had all of her shots at that age and gave me the empty vials so I could bring them to my vet) and let me meet the parents and the other sibling they kept from the litter. She was dewormed twice, vet checked and they made me fill out a form with my contact information in case they found out any genetic disabilities or issues that might come about. They also reply to emails I send with pictures and seemed like all around good people. I drove 6 hours to pick her up from Virginia. She seems very healthy, very energetic and she’s absolutely gorgeous. But I’m hearing bad things about buying dogs from breeders like that. I know I should have rescued one but I couldn’t find any that would suit me, trust me I searched everywhere and when I saw her picture I had to get her. The people seemed reputable.. the other dogs seemed active and well fed. They were outside dogs, they had huge cages and they had huge fans on them since it was kinda hot outside. The father was absolutely loveable and seemed to be very happy. And the other pup was fat and adorable. My dog is slightly skinny, which I was a little worried about but I’ve had her almost 2 months now and she’s growing BIG but still skinny. Vet says she looks good, it’s the breed. More muscular type. Any advice would be helpful and any signs of bad breeding I’d love to hear. Thanks!
