One of our favorite brindle coated pups is the Dutch Shepherd. While this coat coloring does seem slightly more common in some breeds of dogs like the molosser dogs, it can creep up in many other breeds we look at in detail below.ĭutch Shepherd The Dutch Shepherd is one of the most striking dogs that sports a brindle coat. We’ve carved out over 20 different breeds that can carry the brindle gene, and have pictures of these stunning pups for you to take a look at with each breed. While there’s only one breed that’s guaranteed to carry the brindle color every time, many breeds carry the genes in with other mixed colors, most notably a merle coloring which is almost like a marbling of solid colors mixed with a brindle coat. There are many brindle dog breeds that carry the color gene, and all of them can look equally beautiful. The pictures below will give you a good idea of the many different coat colors you can expect. The orangeish/reddish color coats are “red” brindles, while the fawn colors are a lighter orange, almost tan color. Some breeds can carry a more grey or “blue” looking color of the brindle color. The lighter brindle coloring is called a “reverse brindle.” This type of coat has the lighter color being more prominent on the darker background of the dog’s coat. The darker or heavier brindle coloring is the traditional color that’s typically the most discussed.
It’s charactarized by either having black coloring/stripes on an orange background where the orange occasionally peeks through, or light stripes over a darker background or coat, almost resembling a tiger’s striped coat in some ways.
The Brindle color coat is one of the recessive genes on the K locus. The brindle coat has been around as long as dogs have been running around on the earth.
