The answer to this question is "Yes".

how would we know? Dogs cant speak, its not like we can see out of a dogs eye. Im sure they can see in colour, as they like brightly coloured things

This may surprise alot of people but let me try to enlighten you with this article, if I can get the URL to work. Dogs can see color to a certain extent and they are nearsighted, compared to our eyes, but they see in low light better than us, and they see movement better and they have a better peripheral vision than we do, yellow, greys and types of greenish/blu hues. But they don't really use them that much, not like birds do,

this is where I got my info....~/:\~

To set the record straight for anyone looking at this later...

Rods are adapted to work best in low light and are used for Motion Detection, (not b&w). Cones detect color and work best in mid to high levels of light.

They did not "disect" the eye of a dog to find out what colors the dog could see, they actually did a training test. (they may have disected to see rods and cones??? the article does not address this). Read the article.
