Of course, by blue, we actually mean grey.

A blue bulldog is one of the unique and striking hues among the breed. They have a shimmery, silvery-gray coat that stands out from other colors in the family. It can appear almost black at first glance but has a subtle icy sheen that's unmistakable.

We're talking Martin level Sheen not Charlie or Emilio level Sheen. Winning!

They tend to have light eyes and blue noses, adding to their eye-catching appearance.

This coat color is rare, which makes the blue even more desirable to pet owners. They are often referred to as "blue fawns" due to their distinct coloring. So rare in fact, we just decided to make it more expensive then chocolate.

You're my boi, Blue!

Not to be confused with Meryl, the Merle British bulldog is a unique and rare color pattern in the breed that is controversial but still massively sought after and in hot demand as it is a real show stopper colour way.

This dog is characterized by its striking coat pattern that consists of a mottled or marbled coat with patches of darker colors.

This dog comes ready for your daughter's wedding.

We're talking less than 5% white on the full get up (coat), like maybe just the socks showing. I remember when men used to wear socks that covered your ankles to wedding.

Anyway, super rare, super expensive, super pure like any good bride.

We pushed this wedding analogy far didn't we?

The Rolls Royce of dog colours. With more dollars, comes more text.

Dilute coloration, which is what causes rare and exotic colors in dogs, is caused by gene variants. Several variants result in dilute colors, which are often light and pale shades of other colors. For example, chocolate can become silvery red or lilac, and black can become gray or blue. 

As their name implies, the lilac dog coat often has lilac or blue coloring, resulting in a silvery or gray look. The color comes from a recessive gene inherited from its parents.

When affected by diluted color, puppies usually start out as black. For example, lilac bulldogs are born black but dilute twice: once by the chocolate gene and once by the blue gene. The bb gene mutates from black to brown and the dd gene mutates from black to blue. As this occurs, blue and brown are mixed, and what remains is lilac.

Ok, let me try and drop you some knowledge on the Tri.

Tri is an old English prefix for three derived most likely from Latin (but I couldn't be bothered Googling that to verify).

So we're talking three colours, like a base colour, some tan markings and white as the third colour, usually on the chest.

Basically, Tri, but mixed with a brindle pattern.

These tend to appear when people try to buy or breed bulldogs through irreputable means or non-registered breeders.

Common signs include puffiness and redness around the eyes from crying and lack of weight in the pocket region from money being stolen.

Even if you don't choose to join The Wilder Hearts make sure to at least use a registered master dog breeder.

Pre-Registration for upcoming litters allows you to be pre-approved early and guarantees first notification for adoption before the litter arrives.

Unsuccessful applicants will have their registration fee refunded or transferred to another litter.

Our litters our often sold out before birth so although we announce new litter arrivals to the general public 'Pre-Registration' is the best risk-free option for those who are serious about adopting a bulldog from The Wilder Hearts.

Once you've registered or applied you will be vetted for suitability.

We will inform you if you are approved.

Only approved applicants may adopt a bulldog from The Wilder Hearts pack.

Approved applicants must pay a deposit to secure a spot in the priority queue for litter.

Late Registration was the second studio album released by American rapper, producer and former Kardashian lover Mr. Kanye West in 2005.

It bears very little relevance to bulldogs or this website other then perhaps a backing track for semen collection, a butt reference to Miss Magic Booty or the fact that any late registrations or payments are deemed irrelevant and non-refundable.
