Key Color Genes in French Bulldogs

Blue

Blue Dilution (d)

The d/d genotype dilutes black to blue. One of the most iconic Frenchie color genes.

Chocolate

Chocolate (b)

The b/b genotype produces chocolate/liver coloration. Interacts with dilution to create lilac.

Tan

Tan Points (at)

at/a or at/at creates tan point markings (eyebrows, cheeks, legs, chest).

Rojo/Red

Rojo/Red (e)

e/e removes black pigment, revealing the underlying pheomelanin — creates rojo, cream, or red tones.

Fluffy

Fluffy (L gene)

l1 or l4 copies create the long-hair/fluffy phenotype. Recessive — requires two copies to express.

Note: French Bulldog color genetics involves multiple interacting genes. This calculator demonstrates single-gene inheritance. For accurate breeding pair analysis, always consult DNA test results from a certified laboratory (Embark, Wisdom Panel, UC Davis).
