Try our breeding and coat color calculator:
The pairing of 2 alleles at each genetic locus is known as the genotype. The physical appearance or coat color of your French Bulldog is known as the phenotype. Below is the world’s first interactive genotype and phenotype periodic table and this one was specifically made for Frenchies. These charts will give you a better understanding of which dominate or recessive genes are required to produce certain colors. Click inside of any genotype and you get more information about each allele pairing.
