A French Bulldog with a brindle or tiger-striped pattern has a series of light and dark streaks against their coats. There are several genes responsible for the brindle pattern, but the K-Locus is one of the most prominent. A Frenchie will display this pattern if it has inherited the recessive k gene from both its parents.
The AKC recognizes brindle as an official coat pattern, alongside variations like white and brindle, brindle and white, and fawn brindle.
