<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWhat Is A Brindle Coat?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhat exactly do experts mean when they describe a dog as brindle? A brindle dog looks like it has black stripes on a red coat. This sounds a lot like a tiger, which is why the color is also sometimes called that, but brindle dogs don\u2019t look much like tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The term brindle actually comes from an old Scandinavian word imported to England by the Vikings. It then appeared in scene one of Shakespeare\u2019s Macbeth, <\/em>where he described a \u201cbrinded cat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe genetic basis of the color is that the dog has a pheomelanin base color, which expresses a red or yellow pigment. They will then have stripes that are eumelanin, so black or brown, but how exactly the two come together on a dog\u2019s coat is highly variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The base color can be affected by the intensity locus, while the stripe layer can manifest with alternative colors including merle, liver, greying, and recessive red. Brindle dogs also quite commonly have white markings and ticking on their coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brindle patterns can often look very similar to tricolor coats, with the difference only being determined on fairly close inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Causes The Brindle Color?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBrindle is a genetic variation<\/a> known as mosaicism in which some cells express one K allele, and others another.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are three K<\/em> locus alleles that affect a dog\u2019s color: KB<\/em>, which is dominant black, kbr<\/em>, which is brindle, and ky<\/em>, which is non-solid black, which allows an A<\/em> locus to be expressed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe KB<\/em> allele is dominant, and the ky<\/em> allele is the most recessive. The kbr <\/em>allele sits between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt will not manifest if it is partnered with a KB <\/em>allele, which will overpower it, but the kbr <\/em>allele will express itself if it is partnered with a ky <\/em>allele. In general, then, you can expect a brindle dog if they have a kbr <\/em>and ky <\/em>allele or two kbr <\/em>alleles.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDogs with an expressing kbr <\/em>allele will show whatever alleles it has on the A <\/em>locus, but any and all pheomelanin in the coat will be brindled. The extent of brindling depends on the A <\/em>locus.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf the A <\/em>locus is ay<\/em> (sable) the dog will be a solid brindle, perhaps with darker areas on its back and around its head.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf the A <\/em>locus is at<\/em> (tan points) the dog will be black with brindle points.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf the A <\/em>locus is aW<\/em> (wolf grey)the brindle will appear broken or patchy, though this combination is rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf the A <\/em>locus is aa <\/em>(recessive black), the dog will appear solid black but will still be able to produce brindle-colored pups.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is very difficult to test for these genetic traits, and there are currently no commercially available tests to check for brindle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breeders control for or encourage this color trait based on their experience of breeding, but can\u2019t guarantee what color a pup will manifest when they grow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Brindle Dog Breeds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you are keen on adopting a dog with a brindle coat, consider some of the following breeds as among the best brindle dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You do, very occasionally, see brindle Labrador retrievers. Read more about them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBoxer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBoxers are an incredibly popular breed<\/a>, and one of the best dogs to adopt if you are looking for a brindle pup.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThey are a high-energy, family-friendly dogs, and are also very easy to groom. They can adapt to apartment living as long as they get enough exercise, and tend to be very easy to train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- 21-25 inches tall<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 60-70 pounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Boxers have a short, sleek coat that sits over an athletic body, and they will be either fawn or brindle in color. They will very often also have white markings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their coat requires minimal grooming as they tend to groom themselves, but be aware that they drool a lot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boxers are intelligent, alert, fearless, and friendly. They will be a loyal companion if you take the time to care for them properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These dogs are eager to please and highly trainable, but they should be thoroughly trained from a young age before their size makes controlling them more challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boxers do best as house dogs, but also need to be taken out to exercise at least twice a day for about 30 minutes each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They love their people, so they will struggle if they are left at home alone for extended periods of time on a regular basis. They can develop anxiety, which often manifests in destructive behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sadly, the flat noses of boxers do mean that they can be prone to an array of health conditions from respiratory problems to dental decay. Regular check-ups with your vet are a must if you are the pet parent of a boxer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
French Bulldog<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you prefer a smaller dog, French bulldogs often have brindle coats. They are a popular breed because they are on the small side and have a goofy, fun-loving, and friendly nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their size, friendliness, and trainability make them great dogs for first-time owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- 11-13 inches tall<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 19-28 pounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
These dogs have a short, smooth, shiny coat that tends to be fine. You will commonly see them in fawn, cream, and various expressions of brindle. They are moderate shedders, but it is relatively easy to keep this under control with regular brushing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
French bulldogs are great because they love to play but are equally happy relaxing on the sofa. This means that they adapt well to apartment living, but still bring a lot of positive and fun energy to the household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While they can be quite stubborn, ultimately they want to please their people so they are trainable with appropriate positive reinforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were bred as companion dogs, so don\u2019t expect to be able to leave them alone at home most of the day when you are at work as this can result in depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is another dog with a flat face often accompanied by health problems. They can be prone to breathing issues, allergies, and also dental issues. They can struggle to regulate their body temperature in warmer climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cardigan Welsh Corgi<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThese well-established dogs from the United Kingdom are commonly seen with brindle coats. These are affectionate little dogs that do well in apartments and can suit a busier owner but be aware that they tend to be barkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- 10.5-12.5 inches tall<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 25-38 pounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
These Corgis have a classic double coat with a short undercoat and a longer and thicker topcoat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They can be red, sable, or brindle, and you also sometimes see them black with brindle points or blue merle with a tan or brindle mask. They usually have white markings on their legs, chest, neck, muzzle, belly, and tail tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite originally having been herding dogs, Cardigan Welsh corgis have adapted well to family living. They may still try to herd smaller children and pets, but with proper socialization, they will quickly become bright and alert members of the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike many dog breeds, these dogs can be left alone at home for a while when everyone is out at work and school. Make sure to give them plenty of exercise and attention when you are together to maintain their health and happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are generally healthy dogs, but breeders should be controlling for orthopedic conditions such as intervertebral disk disease. They can also develop vision issues as they get older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greyhound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGreyhounds with brindle coats look very distinctive since their short hair can make the unique color pattern pop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While they are known for their athletic ability, greyhounds are actually lazy housemates that will love just chilling out. They\u2019ll be an affectionate addition to the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- 25-30 inches tall<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 60-80 pounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Despite their name, greyhounds can be any color including fawn, black, grey, white, or brindle. They need daily brushing to manage their coats as they tend to be high-shedders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greyhound puppies are playful and happy, and there are also many adult greyhounds that need homes after their career on the track. They tend to be naturally laid back and easy to train, which makes them great pets for first-time owners and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They do have a high prey drive and love to run, so they need plenty of exercise, but if you let them off leash you may not be able to catch them if they go after a squirrel or rabbit. They run at about 45 miles per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greyhounds are generally healthy dogs, but they can develop hip dysplasia if they are over-exercised as a puppy<\/a>. They may also be sensitive to anesthesia and other drugs and should be tested for this before any kind of operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBasenji<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThese pups are considered among the oldest breeds and look a lot like the dogs painted on the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You almost never saw these dogs with a brindle coat until the 1980s, when they were mixed with dogs from central Africa to help combat some health concerns. Now brindle Basenjis are very popular pups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
