Chocolate, lilac, tan and blue colours are rear for French Bulldog

Blue color dogs have "d"- diluted gene,

Chocolate - "b", TAN - "at/at", Lilac - "bb/dd" genes.

Rare colours are extremely controversial in the Frenchie world because the most confusing believe is that they are more prone to genetic faults than other colours which is biased and unfounded. ANY colour can carry problems.

The colour blue does not affect the health of the French bulldog , there is no factual biological evidence that supports the notion that any particular coat colour, including blue, is responsible for health & temperament issues in the French bulldog breed and NO PROVEN FACT that the blue coat colour has any more health issues that the normal coloured French bulldog. This does not mean to say that the blue French bulldog will never have health issues there are health issues in every breed !

Health issues in any breed is not due to the colour of the dog, but down to INBREEDING and poor breeding judgement.

Population of rear colours in French Bulldog is big enough to avoid inbreeding now.

More concern should be with the quality of the dog and the integrity of the breeder rather than the dog's coat colour!

Rear  colours in French bulldogs is extremely hard to produce because it is a recessive trait and only comes out in puppies when both parents carry the gene.

There is fear that the blue French bulldog will suffer coat or skin problems but this is again unfounded. It is evident that skin and coat issues exist in many breeds regardless of the colour of the coat.

Blue French bulldogs can not be shown( in the UK - other countries accept blues, chocolate and tan FB and show it)  because the Breed Standard states that acceptable colours are Brindle, Fawn, & Pied, however. The Kennel Club will register any pure-bred French Bulldog.  Kennel Club state that blue French bulldog cannot be shown because it is classed as an undesirable colour but this is simply untrue, blue and other rear colours French bulldogs are in high demand.

In fact, blue French bulldogs have many dogs in their lines that are all common colours today and all of which are acceptable in the show ring. We think it is only a matter of time before rear colours will become a recognised colour in the breed standard and with that in mind and no other KNOWN FACTS of health issues caused by the diluted gene (d) we decided to start our breeding programme.

Whatever colour Frenchie you may love it is personal preference.
We have always thought that health is more important than colour and that health should always come first.
