    Blue Frenchies have blue-ish gray coats, sometimes with white markings.

    Blue Frenchies are a dilute black color or very dark gray. They may or may not have white markings.

    The blue color in French Bulldogs can be linked to color dilution alopecia . This is a skin condition that can cause hair loss, scaly skin, skin bumps, skin infections, and itching.

    2. Lilac

    Lilac French Bulldogs have similar coats to blue Frenchies, but are a little more purple in color.

    Lilac French Bulldogs have silvery, purple-tinged coats. Like blue Frenchies, this can result in color dilution alopecia.

    3. Blue and Tan

    Blue and tan Frenchies are blue with tan markings.

    Blue and tan Frenchies are blue with tan markings. Their markings are typically on their chests, paws, and above their eyes (like eyebrows!). As we discussed above, blue coloring in Frenchies might not be healthy for the dogs and they may suffer from skin problems.

    4. Chocolate and Tan

    Merle Frenchies have white fur with dark patches.

    Merle Frenchies have white fur with darker (usually blue) patches. Two merle Frenchies shouldn’t be bred together, as double merle dogs (those with two merle genes) are prone to some health problems .
