Considering getting French Bulldogs? These are, after all, among the friendliest dog breeds. They get their name after breeders made them popular in France, seeing as their iconic physical features weren’t a hit in England.
That said, there are different types of French Bulldogs. Some French Bulldog breeds may not pique your interest while others could sport the ideal look you want in a pet.
To help you pick the right breed, consider this list breaking down some of the most common variations:
Fawn Frenchies
Fawns are among the most common types of Frenchies. These are the most iconic types and are often the Frenchies you’ll spot in shows or movies.
If you don’t know how to choose a French Bulldog, you can’t go wrong with this one. Fawns are easy to identify too. They have a solid coat, often in hues of cream to a golden tan.
Pied Frenchies
Have you ever seen a French Bulldog with an eyepatch? If you did, you spotted a Pied Frenchie. These dogs often feature a pure white or light-tan coat spotted with a few dark patches.
The patches on a Pied Frenchie often appear on their side or around an eye, giving them their iconic eyepatch look. These are also playful dogs. If you want to enjoy the benefits of a French Bulldog with kids, consider getting Pied Frenchies.
Blue/Grey Frenchies
Looking for a rare breed of French Bulldogs?
You can’t go wrong with the Blue/Grey breed. You only get this breed when the genes of a normal black French Bulldog encounter an error. This slight genetic defect causes the black coat to dilute, giving the dog its trademark blue-grey hue.
Blue Merle Frenchies
Blue Merle Frenchies have the beautiful blue-grey pattern of the breed listed above but with the spots and patterns of a Merle.
Blue Merle Frenchies are the rarest type of French Bulldogs. This is because there are no purebred Blue Merle Frenchies. This breed is a result of crossbreeding, often with a Chihuahua, to get the iconic Merle pattern.
Brindle Frenchies
A Brindle is a Bulldog with a strong dark coat splattered with stripes or recurring patches of light fur. You’ll find a few variations, such as the iconic Tiger Brindle. Other variations include the Brindle Pied, Black Brindle, and Seal Brindle.
