Merle French Bulldog For Sale

Merle French Bulldogs are truly special and have some characteristics that other Frenchies don’t possess. One of these rare traits is their sparkling blue eyes. Since the merle gene affects the skin pigment as well, when a merle patch crosses the eye area the Frenchie will have bright forever blue eyes. Sometimes only one of the eyes will remain blue, which is a phenomenon called heterochromia. Not all merle Frenchies possess this rare trait, so if you’re looking for a Frenchie whose eyes will remain blue permanently, a merle is your best option (we will always tell you that for sure).

Because of how dominant the merle gene is, merle Frenchies should only be bred to a dog with a solid coat color. This is very important to know if you’re thinking about breeding your merle Frenchie one day, as two merle Frenchies will likely produce double merle puppies who often have sight and hearing impairment.

There are some common misconceptions about merle French Bulldogs having more health issues than other colors, but the truth is that the merle gene itself doesn’t cause any problems. If you get your merle Frenchie from a knowledgeable and reputable breeder you don’t need to worry about the health of your puppy.
