They all have pros and cons:

BLACK : Easy to see in the uplands, and when a Black dog is swimming in your decoys, their heads look like a swimming duck. But, they are definitely hotter in the Summer, warmer in the Winter.

CHOCO : Their color matches the mud color (or rock color) in many areas. Fairly easy to see in most upland situations.
They feel the "heat of Summer" almost as much as Black dogs, but are warmer in the Winter.

YELLAR : Natural camo in most "dead vegetation" areas when waterfowl hunting. Cooler in the Summer, cooler in the Winter. Harder to see in the uplands.

Personally, I have always had Yellars.
