Brindle

Chihuahua colors

Brindle is a rather rare color in chihuahuas. It is not new, however, it's been around for many years. It is in the lower ebr family of genes, which causes it to be somewhat recessive. If one parent is a solid color, and another a brindle, chances are the pups will be mostly solid. Brindling in a coat pattern occurs when there are black, or any darker colored streaks, causing pronounced stripes on another color. It's more patterned than the sabling seen in most chihuahuas (I call it a tiger-striped pattern). However, reverse brindling can occur, where black is the base color, and streaked with another color. There are brindles in almost any color, either chocolate, blue, fawn, etc.

This is a blue brindle also owned by Melinda Willcox. Note the stripes are considerably lighter than in the black brindles, giving them a grayer, or blue, hue.
