It takes two recessive fawn genes to display fawn coloring in puppies, while brindle Boxers will have only brindle-patterned pups if they have two brindle genes. Citing Boxers again, brindle is the dominant pattern, while the fawn is recessive. Reverse brindling is rooted in genetics, of course, though to our knowledge, it can’t yet be predicted as to whether a dog will be a brindle or reverse brindle. We’ve also seen the terms, “inverted brindle.” Some people refer to the heavy brindling that produces a dog to be almost black as seal brindling, but this isn’t a standard term, and especially when it’s erroneously referred to as seal ed brindling. Using the Boxer as an illustration, Boxers that appear black actually have a dark brindle coat, and those “stripes” will be visible upon close inspection. In fact, the coloring can almost look solid which gives a dog the appearance of being a dark color. In actuality, the background hair is still a light or fawn color, but the dark stripes are so prominent that they give the coat an overall darker appearance. In a reverse brindle pattern, however, the prominence of coloring is switched so that light stripes appear to sit on on a dark-colored background (such as fawn brindling on a black background). In any breed that includes the brindle marking pattern, such as Whippets, Cardigan Welsh Corgis, Plotts, Frenchies, Irish Wolfhounds, and Boxers, reverse brindling is possible.Ī regular brindle pattern occurs when dark stripes appear over a lighter-colored background.
