Q - What Color is Brindle?

 

A - Brindle is more of a "marking" over a solid base color.. it is usually a "stripping" effect.. usually
the marking color is the same as the pigment color..

it can be very few marks, or so many marks inline to make long "stripes"...

 [this is NOT the same as "merle", which is the lack of pigment and gives the appearance of "dark patches over lighter areas" as in the harlequin coat]

so, your base coat color can be from pale fawn to rich red or brown, then add the darker marks or stripes ..

and you have "brindle"..  so when describing the coat color, you can give the base color and add brindle to it..

[exp:  brown brindle, fawn brindle, red brindle....] this is if you are describing a black pigmented dog

also if the "stripping" is so much that it give the appearance of almost black, then that would be a
"re-verse Brindle"..[or you'll hear some say "Black brindle"]..

if the pigment is blue or chocolate, then again the marks on the coat will be the same color as the pigment,,...

so this is when people will describe the pigment color first, then add brindle.. so most will say "blue brindle "..  or "choc. brindle" ..

 

a few pictures as examples....

"Titans" a Fawn Brindle.

[fawn or red brindles can also be described as "Tiger brindles"

This is more of a "Red Brindle" [ black pigment and red body coat .]

 

......................................................................

....these are both "Re-verse Brindle"..

..........................................................................

this would be called "Chocolate Brindle"..

notice her "striping" is the same color as her pigment..

 

This is a "Blue Brindle".

again notice the "striping" is the same color as the pigment

THE #1 ASKED QUESTION:
 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AKC BULLDOG (FORMERLY KNOWN AS AKC ENGLISH BULLDOG) AND AN OLDE ENGLISH BULLDOGGE (SOMETIMES KNOWN AS OLD BULLDOG)???

 

The Difference between English Bulldog and Olde English Bulldogge

The Bulldog Originated in England between 1600 and 1700. These were the early ancestors to many Bull breeds that exist today including the English Bulldog and the American Bulldog. They were bred to participate in blood sports like bull baiting. This so called sport became quite popular in England through out the middle of the 18th Century. Bull baiting primarily consisted of staking out a bull and allowing several Bulldogges to attack it. A dog of great courage and agility was needed for bull baiting. This dog was of medium size. Larger dogs were considered to be the result of Mastiff crosses. Around 1835, laws were passed in England prohibiting bull baiting and the Bulldogs main purpose of existence Vanish. Within a decade the numbers of Bulldogs declined drastically almost to extinction. Dog show fanciers eventually decided to reconstruct the breed. They wanted to tone down the aggressive temperament of the original Olde English Bulldogge. They crossed the remnants of the existing stock with the pug and over the years that followed they developed the modern English Bulldog. Unfortunately though, this modern dog is wrought with all kids of health problems. The Modern Olde English Bulldogge is a reconstruction of the Bulldog of the 17th and 18th century. Various genetic crosses have been used in carefully and thoughtfully planned breeding programs to obtain this goal. The Foundation of most of Today's Olde English Bulldogges can be traced to English Bulldog, American Bulldog, and Mastiff. These dogs were used very selectively in various combinations to obtain the desired physical traits of the original Bulldog without any aggressive traits. The result has been a good looking Bulldogge of great athletic ability that is much healthier, physically fit, and mentally stable with out most or all of the problems that plague today's modern English Bulldogs. The goal of the Olde English Bulldogge breeders is to produce genetically healthier Bulldogges that are free breathers, free breeders, and free whelpers.
