Brindle or the tiger-striped pattern produces a beautiful blend of light and dark streaks against the base color. Of the several genes responsible for the brindle pattern, K-Locus is one of the most prominent ones. A Frenchie will have this particular hue if it has acquired the recessive K gene from both its parents.
The brindle coat varying from light to dark gives the French Bulldog an adorable appearance indeed, covering either their whole body or just a part of it.
The AKC has recognized brindle French bulldogs alongside variations like white and brindle, brindle and white, and fawn brindle.
White and Brindle
Such dogs have a white or cream coat combined with little streaks of dark hair.
Seal Brindle
They have a dark coat with white strands of hair, which remains so less prominent that it makes the dog appear entirely black.
Blue Brindle
They have a bluish-gray body with light brindle stripes, with their nose matching the coat color.
Brindle and White
Closely similar to the white and brindle varieties, the only difference lies in the hairs that they have in abundance, making them look darker.
Tiger Brindle
Frenchies having such coloration replicate a tiger, with heavily marked white hairs placed against a dark coat.
Chocolate Brindle
Their body has a brown-milky shade alongside blue eyes and brown nails and noses.
Fawn Brindle
The fawn coat has brindle stripes, while the eyelids, nose, lips, and nails remain dark.
Pied Brindle
The coat remains white or cream with patches of dark hairs on it, creating a pied pattern. Those with a pied brindle body mostly possess at least a single patch near the area of their eyes.
Reverse Brindle
This is a mere opposite of the regular brindle pattern with dark stripes sitting against a light white or cream background, giving the overall coat a de
How much do brindle French bulldogs cost
They are rare since it is less likely for both the parents to have a recessive gene. Hence, their price is also on the higher side from $1500 to 3000, rising to $8000 depending on the breed lines.
Some varieties like the blue brindle ones could need extra care because of skin problems that they might suffer from. However, the maintenance cost is relatively low since these short-haired dogs are low shedders and do not require extensive brushing.
