Lilac French Bulldog puppy

The very rare blue french bulldog is highly sough after these days in particular by high profile celebrities and athletes from every sport. It seems you can’t find a celebrity these days that is not trotting around town with one or talking about wanting to get one on social media. There also doesn’t seem to be any lack of frenchie promotion on Television. As of late many companies have chosen the clownish french bulldog as their star in their programming and commercials in advertising their products. We have even witnessed a frenchie in a Super Bowl commercial recently and it was quite a hit.

These little guys come in all colors and patters and stay well below 30 lbs. and in fact one that big would be considered a larger one for the breed. They seem to adapt well to many different conditions and living arrangements too. The can be city dogs as well as country dogs without skipping a beat really.

Colors for this breed include cream, brindle, fawn, red & white. Other exotic or rare colors include blue, chocolate, lilac, and patterns like black and tan. To see some of the finest and most beautiful blue french bulldogs for sale visit Silverblood Frenchies.

One stunning variety of the rare colored french bulldog is the chocolate french bulldog. The rarely seen coat color of the french bulldog is a beautiful site on pups and adults alike. They are one of the most majestic looking bulldogs you may see. Their color DNA looks like this (b,b) so a dog bust have two copies of little “b” to display the chocolate brown phenotype and be able to pass it onto 100% of their offspring. Chocolate in the french bulldog comes is several varieties such as solid chocolate, chocolate brindle, chocolate pies, chocolate fawn and chocolate sable. Chocolate and tan has also very recently been produced for the very first time in 2014. In addition to those colors chocolate dogs that also carry the dilute gene or (d) blue may also produce lilac colored dogs (the rarest of all rare colors in the french bulldog breed). Lilac can be accomplished by mixing blue and chocolate french bulldogs to end up with a color DNA result of (bb, dd) which indicates two copies of both blue and chocolate. This is very hard to produce and therefore these dog are very valuable and desirable. Chocolate has been the necessary yet rare part of the equation to produce an even more rare than chocolate coat color, the lilac. Below is a picture of one of these beautiful chocolate frenchies.

New Exotic Chocolate French Bulldog puppies

26 Apr

Here we see how the breed has evolved in terms of genetically possible colors in frenchies. The fad was blues and its many different shades and patterns and now we have come across the chocolate variation of the breed. A chocolate colored frenchie’s color DNA would look something like this (b/b). This means it would be a chocolate gene carrier (B/b) as well as display the chocolate undertone in its phenotype also. Some people refer to this coloring as liver or choco and yes, it is in fact a disqualification in the show ring as far as some of the major dog registries are concerned including the AKC (American Kennel Club). And no, this coloration like the blue coloration does not in any way contribute or is associated with ANY health issues or quality of life. It is in fact part of the gene pool and naturally occurring genetically. These rare and exotic colors in the french bulldog are hard to come by due to the fact many breeders bred away from these tones as it was not show worthy and so it was hard for those genes to reveal themselves in a typical litter. The chocolate dogs also generally will have golden yellow eyes and a self-colored nose leather as well.

These little chocolate french bulldog puppies make excellent pets. Their exotic and rare looks make them super attractive and appealing to many fanciers of this clownish breed. Ears all pricked up, smashed face and no tail still a part of these exotic colors. Nothing but their coat color has changed. below is an example of what these little guys look like in this rare, yet beautiful color. Similar colors are: solid chocolate, chocolate pied, chocolate brindle and chocolate tri french bulldogs.
