brindle

No, of course, it's an interesting thought. Colours do factor in, as the best camouflage in the thick woods is black, in the "thin" woods it's grey and brown, in an open field it'd be dependent on season and flora, so anything from a yellow to red and brindle could be an advantage and so on. However, at night, coats that're black, dark brindle and blue are the tried and true best of the bunch, with the black again being best for really dark spots with no moonlight, the blue being precisely ideal for moonlit terrain and the brindle being just right for either application, just like the wolf-grey/sable cover.

      anyone else like the brindle pattern on dogs? i think it looks real nice....especially on the presas...almost like a tiger stripe. im wondering if theres any sort of advantage to the brindle pattern such as camo maybe...i mean it is like tiger stripe

        love brindle coats, especially with a black mask. love the trindle coat too. Isabella brindle in my eyes is the nicest and quite rare.

            From experience I'd say it is definitely the hardest coat to see on a dog at night, harder than black and blue and other dark colours. Just don't know how seriously important that is for dogs of any description.

              in a survival situation maybe those dogs would be the ones to make it
              • Sure, provided those brindle dogs also inherited a wild animal's intelligence with the pattern.

                  yes provided those dogs that inherited a wild animal's intelligence also inherited disease free traits and a jetpack..lol im just saying could be possible, like some way back trait to benefit the dog..wolves coyotes etc are certain colors for a reason
