1. Classic Coat Colors


The traditional coat colors of French Bulldogs are timeless and elegant. These include:


  • Brindle: A dark coat with lighter streaks, giving a tiger-stripe appearance.

  • Fawn: A smooth coat that ranges from light tan to reddish hues.

  • Pied: A combination of white and patches of another color, often brindle or fawn.


Classic colors are always a favorite among Frenchie lovers for their simplicity and charm.





2. Rare and Exotic Colors


French Bulldogs also come in rare and exotic colors that have gained popularity in recent years. These include:


  • Blue: A soft grayish-blue hue caused by a dilution gene.

  • Lilac: A mix of blue and chocolate genes, resulting in a silvery-purple coat.

  • Merle: A patterned coat with mottled patches of color, often combined with blue or tan.

  • Chocolate: A rich, deep brown color that exudes warmth.


At Saratoga Kennel, we’re proud to feature stunning examples of these rare coat colors in our litters.

  • Blue and Tan

  • Black and Tan

  • Lilac and Tan


These markings add sophistication and depth to their already captivating appearances.





4. Fluffy French Bulldogs


A growing trend among Frenchie enthusiasts is the Fluffy French Bulldog, which features a longer, plush coat. This rare trait, caused by a recessive gene, adds a luxurious texture to their look without compromising the breed’s signature charm
