History of the Brindle Coat
The Brindle Bulldog coat is typically classified as a standard or traditionally accepted coat color within Bulldog Clubs and the AKC. Historically, the Brindle English Bulldog was one of the original coat colors within the English Bulldog breed standard originally created and observed. It is important to understand that the brindle color is actually a color pattern that accentuates multiple color types. Brindle color types include: red brindle, dark brindle, fawn brindle and even some rare color brindles. In the early 1800’s Bulldogs were primarily used for jobs connected to bull baiting and bear hunting in Europe. The dog was designed low to the ground and its behavior was quite tough and aggressive. As the practices of bull baiting and bear hunting were eventually banned, the Bulldog’s popularity and function waned. Having become obsolete in the job it was designed for, bulldog enthusiast, drawn to the loyalty and toughness of the breed, quickly pivoted and began breeding for a less aggressive dog with the intention of creating a companion dog. Breed standards were drawn with the intention of reducing the aggressiveness of the breed. At the time, white and red coated bulldogs were most commonly viewed as having a calmer, less aggressive demeanor thus drawing favor within those creating the breed standard. The white coated English bulldog, along with red, were quickly established as traditional colors and more desirable as a means of controlling the original bulldog’s demeanor. While the brindle bulldog is not always mentioned in the early history of the breed, it is assumed that brindle bulldogs were also part of the originally accepted bulldog colors. We know that both European and United States kennel club’s alike accept the Brindle English Bulldog as a traditional color within the breed.
Bruiser Bulldog’s Take on Brindle Coats
The Brindle coat is a tradition favorite here at Bruiser Bulldogs. We believe brindle coats are one of the lower maintenance coats amongst English Bulldog coat colors. The first positive characteristic of brindle is the lack of tear stains. Typically a true brindle will have extensive brindle coloration around it’s facial features. Darker hues often do better covering tear stains and will allow the bulldog to appear clean and well put together. The bulldog will require less maintenance and focus on tear stain issues. The second quality we love about Brindle English Bulldog puppies for sale is absence of allergies. We have found brindle bulldogs to be extremely healthy, rarely suffering from skin allergies that occasionally show up in other coat colors.
