Blue Pied French Bulldog, Grey and White French Bulldog

The Blue Pied French Bulldog is a stunning and popular variety of the French Bulldog breed. Their coat is a striking combination of blue and white, with a predominantly white body and blue patches on the eyes, ears, and body. The unique color of Blue Pied French Bulldogs is due to the presence of a dilution gene. This gene is responsible for diluting the base color of the coat, resulting in a lighter shade of the original color. In Blue Pied Frenchies, the dilution gene dilutes the base coat color to white, resulting in a predominantly white coat with blue patches on the eyes, ears, and body.

The way the pattern is distributed and the proportion of the white and blue on the coat can be quite variable from Frenchie to Frenchie, making them really unique and beautiful!

The dilution gene is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, which means that a dog must inherit two copies of the gene (one from each parent) to show the diluted coloring. If a dog inherits only one copy of the gene, it will have a normal, non-dilute coat. If two Blue Pied French Bulldogs are bred together, there is a 25% chance that each puppy will inherit two copies of the dilution gene and display the Blue Pied coloration.

It is important to note that the dilution gene can also affect other coat colors such as black, chocolate, and fawn. The Blue Pied French Bulldog is a relatively rare color variant, which is part of what makes them so unique and sought after.
