i only saw a clip for the tv program..but I really don't like it..the dogs look ridiculous, like colour by numbers chidrens books. at work I see dogs that are 'picked on' by other dogs...these dogs are going to smell odd and look odd (dogs do see yellows and blues)to others..if they ever get out to play with other dogs ..still...its a big wide world and as long as a dog is not distressed by its life then I guess no real harm is done. I might have to catch up on the program and count up the stress signals given out by the dogs!

That I would be very interested to hear about, Adrianne. I wonder if there's a youtube clip, I'd be intrigued to see how many I could pick up compared to you.
I m rubbish at picking up signs,I can tell you that hand on heart
I m not bothered what colour a dog is but I would never ever do that to my boy,he has a hard enough time as it is being friendly with dogs he does not know,surely fancy colours would make it even harder for him to make friends initially being a boxer ( I heard that boxer's have not got the ability to show all facial expressions because of the way his face falls bless him)
I would not go for the multi colour rainbow look anyhow though,looks far to complicated to keep these clean lines on a muddy walk (so what do these peeps do for walking before a competition,expecting the dogs to stand still for hours ?? )
