So What Is Blue??

The diluted gene "d" is responsible for changing the black pigment to blue.
A blue brindle is a brindle dog that carries the "d" gene which
causes the black hairs to become blue. There are different types of blue including Blue masked fawn.
This is when the black mask is blue instead. Our blue French bulldogs are AKC registered. Blue frenchies can not
be shown in conformations events. The breed standard for the French bulldog states ACCEPTABLE colors are,
brindle, fawn, white and brindle and white. However they will register any purebred
French bulldog. There is no mention of the color "BLUE" in the frenchie standard nor is the color Gray.
However Gray/white is listed as a color choice on the AKC's descriptive breed colors that a person can choose
when registering their frenchie. The AKC does not write the breed standards. The parent club for each AKC
recognized breed writes the standard for their respective breed. The French Bulldog Club of
America (FBDCA) wrote the standard over 100 years ago.

The color blue does not affect the health of a French Bulldog. Blue French bulldogs have many dogs in their lines
that are all of common colors in the AKC conformation show ring. A Blue is just as healthy as a brindle or fawn!!

Whatever your feelings are we LOVE OUR BLUES!
We will be adding to our blues in the future and we hope to have pups for sale at a later date.
