Dogs are far from colourblind, however I’m tempted to say dogs see with their noses – which to me also seems quite intriguing. But to say they’re colourblind would be a lie. I have also seen dogs who particularly love the colour red… atleast that’s what I discovered after putting out two blankets; one in blue and one in red, and I found that the majority would rather lie down on the red one.

I heard on QI (UK TV program) thats it’s a complete myth and they both see colour perfectly well

I already looked it up. Pshaa.
Dogs are more of red-green color blind. They can see colors, but have troubles distinguishing between those colors (like orange, red, green, some purples).
