History of the Red Coat
The Red Bulldog coat is typically classified as a standard or traditionally accepted coat color within Bulldog Clubs and the AKC. Historically, the red English Bulldog was one of the original coat colors within the English Bulldog breed standard originally created and observed, with the 2nd color being white. 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, red and white coated bulldogs were most commonly viewed as having a calmer, less aggressive demeanor thus drawing favor within those creating the breed standard. The red coated english bulldog, along with white, were quickly established as traditional colors and more desirable as a means of controlling the original bulldog’s demeanor. Over time, the fawn coat color (which was at first viewed as more aggressive) was accepted as the 3rd traditional coat color to make up the English Bulldog breed standard.
Bruiser Bulldog’s Take on Red Coats
Over the years, it appears that the red coat has become one of the more dominant colors thrown by our Bruiser Bulldog bloodlines. Red English Bulldog Puppies for Sale appear to be slightly more dominant than other standard colors such as white or fawn. We have typically found the red color to be extremely low maintenance, suffering less frequently from skin allergies and irritants. We have also noticed that there are often different hues of the red coat. Some of our red puppies have extremely dark, rich coats of red that often can be traced from parents to their offspring. If we breed a male and female, both with darker red coats, almost certainly we can expect puppies of the same nature. In contrast, we also commonly see red coats that are lighter with a blend of fawn. It appears that the lighter red often is associated with a finer coat texter that is sometimes softer.
