Guest dannycos Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 My question is an old one but wondered about peoples opinions. Does colour make any difference especially at night, (not in a poachin sense) does the game see dog earlier? Is there any other drawbacks in white or party coloured dogs as I would think not many. Any views or opinions? cheers Quote Link to post
Guest dannycos Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hoped for posotive answers. Never had a white dog but never had to make choice so hopefolly this opens up more options. Does anyone not like white for any reason Cheers danny Quote Link to post

Pennymeadow Whippets 0 Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hi Danny if you want a white dog for lamping i think anyone will see a 500,000 or 1000000 candle power lamp well before they see your white dog i have used white & white parti coloured dogs without problems Quote Link to post

Guest dannycos Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 If injuries show up better that can only be good because although i check dog after every outing occasionally things get missed. All in all I think white dog could end up being a bonus in ways and choice off pup seems to come from gut feeling so its opened up some possabilitys for me. All input much appreciated and anymore commentsn welcome Cheers Danny Quote Link to post
Guest mucker Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 i have a white dog,touch wood ive not had any unwanted attention yet when out with him daytime. i get a bit paranoid when out daytime in those sensitive areas so for peice of mind when the time comes to replace him i,ll go for another colour dont think it makes any odds to game what colour the dog unless you trained it to stalk with in feet of it game lol Quote Link to post

scouse moocher 0 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 To be honest i was thinkin along the same lines, is the quarrys vision not impaired by the beam therefore giving your dog the advantage?? Same here, i think most people have their preferences when it comes to lurchers and for whatever reason prefer a certain colour or stamp of dog, but suppose when it comes down to the job in hand colour dont contribute to a decent lurcher. . .

baz 463 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 when ever we get caught coursing, it isnt because they have seen the white dog its normally because they,ve seen a 6ft bloke holding it. no amount of camaflague is gonna hide you or any colour dog in the middle of a field Quote Link to post
collie/grey 238 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 When lamping with a black dog, it will show up just as much as a white dog. To me colour doesn't matter. I find white dogs quite attractive. Quote Link to post
