The chocolate coloration in Frenchies results from a recessive gene inherited from both their parents. Those with a chocolate coat mostly have bright eyes, ranging from brown and green, to golden and yellow.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) and other breed registries do not consider the chocolate Frenchie as an official breed.
Chocolate and Tan
Their base color is chocolate, with red or beige patches on their bottom, cheek, paws, chest, and eyebrows.
Chocolate Fawn
These dogs appear similar to the blue fawn Frenchie, though their coats range from light to dark tan.
Chocolate Brindle
The chocolate brindle Frenchie displays brindling because they possess the KBr gene.
Chocolate Tri
If a chocolate Frenchie also possesses the merle and fluffy genes, it is a chocolate tri French Bulldog.
Chocolate Sable
A chocolate sable French Bulldog possesses an “ay” gene giving them a series of black tipped hairs.
Cocoa
The cocoa Frenchie possesses the “coco” gene that gives them a unique color.
On average, chocolate Frenchies cost between $6,500 and $7,000.
