Are you ready to meet a colorful pup with the most loving personality? Introducing the Brindle Pied French Bulldog, a pooch that is blessed with a patchy, unique coat that will blow your mind!
But, what’s so special about this Frenchie?
Today we are going to talk about their fun appearance, tiger-like stripes, and a pied coat pattern that is sure to bring a smile to your face and wag to your heart!
Let’s begin, shall we?
What Is A Brindle Pied French Bulldog
A Brindle Pied French Bulldog is a pup that turns heads and makes everyone say “look at that beauty!”
It is a standard French Bulldog but with a distinctive coat pattern that features brindle (tiger-like) stripes on piebald markings.
If you are not sure what a pied Frenchie is, it is a pup with a lighter coat (usually white) with patches of solid black color.
That’s what we call “pied” markings, and they don’t have anything to do with actual pies!
Brindle Pied French Bulldog Appearance
When it comes to its body shape, the Brindle Pied Frenchie is the same as any other Frenchie – it grows up to 12 inches at withers and inherits a muscular build. This pup is among the brachycephalic dog breeds, so it tends to snore quite a lot.
Most of these pups have their tails docked, as some breeders/owners prefer it that way. But, we believe that they look more fabulous with natural tails!
Their coat pattern combination makes them visually interesting and unique, but it is their personality that makes everyone go “aww”!
With their playful energy, silly snouts, and patchy coats of brindle and piebald, these pups are sure to be the center of attention wherever they go.
As with any other pooch, there is a slight difference between coat colors and types of puppies and adults.
Brindle Pied French Bulldog Puppy
A Brindle Pied French Bulldog puppy’s coat is shorter and more delicate than that of an adult’s. Colors are not as intense as those in male and female adults. They are waiting to be painted in darker, tiger-like stripes.
Besides the coat colors, the wrinkles on their flat faces aren’t as pronounced yet. As they grow, their fur gets coarser and thicker, and those wrinkles on their face become more defined and, well, wrinkly!
Their quirky personalities will stay the same, no matter how their coats change!
Similar to other brindle breeds, these French Bulldogs never come in the same pattern – each pup is unique and destined to live a life full of attention!
Full Grown Brindle Pied French Bulldog
Adult Brindle Pied French Bulldogs have developed their luscious coats and honestly, they look like walking pieces of modern art!
Their coat presents a unique and beautiful blend of colors, with a white base color that is filled with splashes of brindle piebald spots. It’s like a white French Bulldog with tiger stripes!
The short coat is a bit coarser than that of a puppy’s, but is still soft and a joy to pet all day long!
Brindle Pied French Bulldog Grooming Needs
The Brindle Pied French Bulldogs are low-maintenance dogs, so their grooming needs are relatively low-maintenance too!
Let’s get into detail about Frenchie grooming needs!
Brushy Brush
With their short and smooth coat, regular Brindle Pied French Bulldog brushing is all it takes to keep them looking fabulous.
Besides keeping their short coat in tip-top shape, regular brushing is a great bonding activity too.
First-time owners may be confused about which brush is the best for Frenchies. The truth is, any brush will do the trick! Professional groomers that handle these pups regularly usually recommend quality slicker brushes and soft bristle brushes.
They make the perfect duo to tackle stubborn tangles and keep their coat shiny.
And here’s a pro tip – pay attention to their sensitive skin, and make sure to brush gently to avoid any discomfort. If you notice any scabs on your dog’s back, fleas, flaky skin, or dried ticks, make sure to ask your vet for treatment.
Brush, brush, brush – it is the key to a happy and healthy Brindle Pied Frenchie!
Scrubby Scrub
Grab the shampoo and bubbles, it’s bath time!
Forget bathing a Brindle Pied French Bulldog too often! Instead, you should bathe your pup occasionally, about every month or two, or as needed.
For example, when they roll over on dead animals or poop, that definitely calls for a good bathing session!
The reason why you should not bathe them frequently is due to the fact that Frenchies can have sensitive skin. Additionally, it is important to use gentle, dog-specific shampoos to avoid any irritation.
When choosing the perfect shampoo, it is best to get moisturizing ones that can help keep their skin hydrated and their coat healthy.
Oh and, did you know that some shampoos may affect the color of your Frenchie’s coat? That said, it is best to consult with a vet or professional groomer for further advice!
Clip The Tips
When it comes to Frenchie grooming, nail trimming is super-important. Why? Because you do not want your pup to have long nails that might make him walk weirdly or have ingrown nails that will hurt a lot.
Keeping that in mind, nail clipping should be done regularly to keep their paws comfy and prevent painful cracking. By regularly I mean once a month! You don’t need to do it very often, only in case you notice that they’ve grown quite a lot.
Another thing to keep in mind is to be cautious not to trim the quick. Even if you accidentally cut the quick, do not fret because there are plenty of remedies you can use at home to fix this issue.
Pluck Those Ears
Ears up, it’s time for a good ear cleaning!
Young Brindle Pied Frenchie puppies have floppy ears that can trap dirt and moisture, so it is very important to clean them regularly. Yeah, the same goes for adult dogs whose ears are erect.
Ear plucking may or may not be so pleasant and it is up for debate whether or not our dogs like it. However, it should be done about once a month, or as needed, for reasons such as maintaining good hygiene and preventing ear infections.
You can make this experience pleasant by giving your pup some yummy treats as positive reinforcement.
Trust me, your pooch is going to love ear plucking knowing that they will get food afterward!
Are Brindle Pied French Bulldogs Rare?
Believe it or not, but Brindle Pied Frenchies may be as rare as unicorns! Sure, merle Frenchies are rare, fawn ones too, but pied with brindle markings, oh my!
Not everyone is lucky enough to have one, so owning a Brindle Pied Frenchie is like being part of an exclusive club – you may just be one in a million!
Why are they so rare, you ask?
Well, it all comes down to the coat color genetics behind their striking pattern.
It’s All About Genetics
In order to develop this unique pup, French Bulldog parents carrying brindle and piebald genes have to come together in perfect harmony.
It’s not an everyday occurrence, but when it happens, then breeders get a super-unique Brindle Pied Frenchie that takes everyone’s breath away!
Pied is a sneaky, recessive gene that I like to call the “erase button”. It can pop up in all sorts of creative ways, but its ultimate goal is always to erase away at least half of a pup’s color. It basically deletes the hues wherever it wants!
On the other hand, the gene carrying brindle color shows off its stripes, letting the world know it’s in charge. These stripes’ colors are determined by other genes, making brindle the dominant gene.
Brindle Pied French Bulldogs For Sale
Brindle Pied Frenchies can vary in price based on a couple of factors such as your location, breeder’s reputation, and the overall demand.
While some pups may be more expensive due to their unique coat pattern and rarity, this is not always the case.
The majority of reputable French Bulldog breeders do not raise the price of their pups just because of their coat colors.
It is the inside that matters! That said, the price of a Frenchie will depend on health screenings done by the breeder, as well as bloodline and pedigree.
In Conclusion
We have just witnessed that Brindle Pied French Bulldogs are truly mesmerizing with their unique coat pattern that sets them apart from the pack.
But that’s not all – they are also packed with personality and love, making them the perfect addition to any family.
So, whether they are stealing your heart with their goofy flat face or turning heads with their stunning coat, these brindle pied pups are sure to bring joy and laughter to your life.
