Light fawn french bulldog- to show you the contrast of the fawn variations, here is an example of a light fawn/light brown french bulldog. As you can see with the fawn, sometimes you get splashes and touches of white in various spots, here this puppy has a white stripe up her nose inherited from dad.īlue Fawn Frenchie– this is an example of a blue fawn frenchie, both parents of her carried the blue recessive gene, making her have a more grayish blue to her fawn coat. Silver fawn frenchie-Here is a rare color fawn we had, a silver fawn. Below you will find pictures of the different patterns of fawn frenchies. One copy of the kbr gene can produce a brindle puppy. A puppy must inherit a ky gene from both parents in order to come out fawn. Brindle gene (kbr) is dominant over the fawn (ky).

The brindle gene is dominant over the fawn color. Fawns do not have any brindling on their coats. Fawns almost always have the black mask unless they are a mask less fawn. One characteristic of the fawn that is unique is how each fawn color varies and there are rarely two fawns that look exactly the same shade. Fawns can range from anywhere to light brown, dark brown, golden, red, silver and anywhere in between these colors. Fawn French Bulldogįawn frenchies are considered a traditional color unless they are blue fawn frenchies. We personally don’t have a favorite and find each color unique in its own way.

Now that you have a good understanding and baseline knowledge of the color patterns that French bulldogs come in, use this guide to help you see different colors and choose the right French bulldog for you.

These traits are actually very common and make your Frenchie unique to the others that may be in the same color family. When a French bulldog is solid it means that most or all of their coat is one color, now they can still be solid with a splash of white on their chest, neck, head, nose, etc. To gain a better understand of solid and what that means. We tend to have all the colors throughout the year. Another rare color pattern is a black frenchie with tan points, we call these ‘black and tans’ which are beautiful frenchies.įrenchies come in many different colors and for those of you who are familiar with the colors they can come in fawns (light brown french bulldog that vary on a spectrum with or without a black mask), black french bulldog, shades of chocolate, blue french bulldog shades, gray shades, cream, lilac, merle french bulldog, pied french bulldog and variations of these colors and patterns. Pure black is also a recessive gene (a/a). To further understand, a blue or chocolate gene is recessive, making these two particular colors more rare and harder to come by, therefore making them more expensive, whereas a fawn frenchie is much more common, yet still beautiful but less expensive than the rare recessive colors. For instance, a traditional fawn will be less expensive than a solid blue. To have a baseline knowledge of recessive and dominant genes, you can then factor in why some Frenchies are more expensive than others, as this is a huge determining factor when pricing a Frenchie. To give you a better understanding of color, you should understand the hierarchy of color and how some genes are expressed differently. Black means black without a trace of brindle.” All colors are acceptable with the exception of solid black, mouse, or liver black and tan black and white and white with black, which are disqualifications (for dog shows).

The AKC color standard is: “Acceptable colors – all brindle, fawn, white, brindle and white, and any color except those which constitute disqualification. All of our Frenchies are AKC registered but AKC won’t allow certain color ways in the show ring. What they say is that “all terms regarding color and colorations should be taken subjectively, as there is a great deal of difference of opinion within the Frenchie community as to which term defines which color”. For colors that are ‘unacceptable’ to AKC standards this means that the color isn’t recognized and a color that isn’t recognized under AKC standards, you wouldn’t be able to show. Now to give more background on AKC colors that are acceptable. If you have a preference in color, we will be able to accommodate your preferences. We don’t have a favorite color and we find there are some people who gravitate toward certain color patterns while others enjoy every color of the Frenchies. This is one of their unique characteristics as there are many colors to choose from. One of the many reasons we are fond of Frenchies is the variety of colors and color patterns they come in.
