There are 3 types of Blue that occur in Frenchies…

Blue, or Blue Brindle Frenchie has a “grey” hue, and the base coat color is a solid blue-grey. It has been debated whether or not this color is also what the standards refer to as ‘mouse’.

A Blue Pied French Bulldog is a result of the ?d? or dilute gene. In this form, the dilute factor has caused the black hairs to become blue. Pigment on the nose and the pads of the feet are also a grayish blue in color, and eyes are often blue or yellowish gold. Again, this color is often referred to as mouse.

Blue-Fawn is a variation of blue, that is seen most clearly in the masking of the face. Typically they have green/gray eyes. It is said that they are usually produced by a fawn or red fawn parent.

Demand for this blue dogs are great. Supply is low..therefore it is not surprising that their price can go up to even $5000!!!
