I've had the same quandary about AB's. Why do so many breeders insist on white dogs? They stick out like a sore thumb in the woods, making easy to be shot, grabbed by a mountain lion, or gored by a hog. not to mention health problems associated with tightly bred white dogs. And for protection purposes they have a hard time doing their job. I personally like a near solid brindle dog. you'll never see them coming at night, and just barely see them during the day in the woods.

I agree read somewhere most people are more afraid of a black dog I know a good dogs a good dog but color does seem to be a factor when it comes to longevity of a hog dog my brindle and black dogs rarely get a scratch but the ole mostly white dog has spent most of her life healing.
