わたしの犬は色見るできるだろIs this correct if i want to say : I wonder if my dog can see colors?

Answer

私の犬は色を見分ける事が出来るのかな？ is correct.

If you just say, 私の犬は色を「見る」事ができるかな？
This means just "Can my dog see the color?"

But if you say 私の犬は色を「見分ける」事ができるのかな？ 
The sentence means "Can my dog see the color properly?"   (can he/she recognize it?)

Also, you need to put 事 after 見る in Japanese.  
It is just like using a gerund in English.  like saying "to see (at the color)" instead of just saying "see."

Answer

「私の犬は色を認識できるだろうか。」
