Blue Color Basics
Genotype for Blue Gene: [dd]
Blue English Bulldogs represent one of the four base rare colors. The others include: black, lilac and chocolate. It is commonly understood that Blue English Bulldogs are actually diluted black dogs. The black gene structure provides the the base color and then is diluted by the blue (dd) gene. We believe the blue coat should appear shiny and grey when placed against black objects or in the sun. If the Bulldog carries the Seal gene, the coat color should show maroon or other color undertones. A seal Bulldog may or may not have a fawn undercoat when the hair is rubbed backwards. It is important to remember that the nose, footpads, & eyeliner are always blue/grey, which can vary from light to dark, not to be mistaken for black.
Blue Tri Puppies
One of our favorite types of Blue English Bulldog Puppies for sale are the blue tri color. Black tri’s can be described as a color pattern where the tan points are typically on the eyebrows, cheeks, front shoulders (right above the chest area between the legs), around the tail, and partial on both front & back legs. Tan points will typically not show up if the bulldog carries white color patterns where the points would normally be. Tan points can also be hidden by other genes, such as the SEAL gene, as it is higher on the hierarchy of genes.
Bruiser Bulldog’s take on Blue Coats
One rare occasions we will have a blue English Bulldog puppy. Because the blue coat is actually a dilute gene layered over black most often blue bulldog puppies are a product of intentional rare color breeding programs. Parents must be carriers of both the dilute blue and black genes. With this type of specificity, most blue colored bulldogs are not at all rare or an accident, but rather a product of intentional breeding programs. We are often extremely suspicious when rare colors become the main focus of a breeding program and a large volume producer of blue bulldogs is typically a huge red flag. In contrast, our Blue English Bulldogs are truly rare and unintentional. Our focus is always on health not on color. If you happen to love the blue color, let us know. You never know when we will have one.
