    Yellow is hard enough to find. Actually, labs like Rover use scent more than sight. I’d spit or rub my hand over a new ball to make it easier for my golden to find.

    Do white tennis balls even still exist? (I’d Google but I don’t wanna.)

    My Rugby gets teeth freeze after the third or fourth toss from the snow on the ball. Maybe it’s a brain freeze like from ice cream, ouch! Pretty funny, then he does kind of like a drop the Mic bit.

    Yellow and white are the only colors approved by the ITF, and most balls produced are a fluorescent yellow known as “optic yellow”, first introduced in 1972 following research demonstrating they were more visible on television. Tennis balls are filled with air and are surfaced by a uniform felt-covered rubber compound.

    Color doesn’t matter to dogs. They smell stuff.

    One day, back when we had 2 Labs, I was picking dropped apples up from the ground and throwing them out into the field. One of the dogs ran out and thought it was a game of fetch. Only…she would eat the apples before returning to resume the game. She didn’t last past very many throws…

    With that much snow on the ground, Red, a frisbee is a better choice.

    Surely there would be a small hole where the ball landed. But it looks like they are trying to find balls that have been there awhile. I donno!

    I thought it was to help differentiate from baseballs.

    It isn’t easy to confuse Rover

    We used colored lacrosse balls with our lab. I think it took us more than six years to lose all of the balls in the bag of six. One of the balls glowed in the dark.Drool wiped right off.

    I had a friend who painted golf balls black so he could play in the snow. I’m not a fan of golf, so…
