A red fawn French Bulldog has a mahogany base coat with a light fawn tint. Its underbelly is lighter than its back, with some dogs also having black masks.
Several genes need to be inherited by a puppy to get this coat color. Firstly, they require an “A” gene to produce a brown pigment for their coats. Secondly, the “K” gene helps moderate the color of the coat, making it lighter or darker and adding the fawn tint to it. Thirdly, an “S” gene can cause white spotting and lighten the stomach region. And finally, the black mask on some red fawn Frenchies comes from an inherited “E” gene.
The AKC does not recognize red fawn as an official color.
On average, a red fawn Frenchie costs between $4,000 and $5,000.
