What is a Merle and Tan French Bulldog?
A Merle and Tan French Bulldog has a light base coat with darker mottled patches all around their bodies, which can be of various colors like black, blue or even lilac. What sets them apart from regular merle Frenchies is the light fawn markings on their paws, chest, bottom, cheek and eyebrows. To produce this amazing and rare coat in French Bulldogs the parents need to carry both the merle and the tan genes.
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 and tan is one of your best options (we will always tell you that for sure).
Why adopt a Frenchie? Three good reasons:
Frenchies are fun and adorable
If you’re looking for a dog with a big personality, a Frenchie is definitely the one for you! They are little clowns who always do something silly to make you smile. Sweet, cuddly, playful, fun, cute… the list could go on. They are impossible not to love!
Frenchies are the best companions who get along with everyone
Frenchies are very sociable who get along with all family members from children to grandparents, from other dogs to cats. They are insanely affectionate and become very attached to their owners. They would spend every minute of their time with their parents if they could!
Frenchies are low-maintenance and don’t need much space
Frenchies have short fur and they only require occasional grooming. Because of their relatively short size, Frenchies don’t need a big garden to run around all day. They are perfectly happy lying on the sofa all day and require little exercise during the day. All that makes them ideal companions for those who live in an apartment.
Merle and Tan Frenchie prices
Merle and Tan French Bulldogs are among the most striking and sought-after color variations, and their pricing reflects their rarity. Since merle tan is a pattern combination rather than a color, the price depends largely on the specific shade combined with it. Most Merle and Tan Frenchies fall into our Unique category, with prices ranging from 6,000 to 7,000 USD, while rarer variations like Lilac Merle and Tan or Isabella Merle and Tan belong to the Exotic category, starting from 7,480 USD.
Additionally, factors such as location, age and special markings can influence the price. Permanent blue eyes also add to a puppy’s value, further enhancing their rarity.
When looking for a merle and tan Frenchie, you will most likely come across cheaper offers than the prices detailed above. You should always be careful with these as there are many unethical breeders who don’t care about the health of their Frenchies only the profit, so their puppies end up with serious health issues. Make sure to do your research and get your merle and tan Frenchie from a reputable breeder, and you will have a happy and healthy furry family member for at least a decade.
