Hi y'all.

This is a picture of my dog, my brother bought him from a 'breeder' and was told he is a purebred staffie...i have encountered a lot of debate about this when telling people this as he seems to have the markings of a rottweiler. Are there any staffie enthusiasts here that could provide me an answer to this. it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hes a black tri (let me guess he has white on his chest and maybe on his front paws on the bottom?)

I have 2 bulldogges with the same color pattern... color doesn't denote pure bred or not but its certainly a color pattern that they can be seen in. The dog below is a tri, just like your dog but with more white, I also have a "trindle" he is just like your dog but has brindle in his points instead of tan but he is totally black bodied accept for a small white mark on his chest and bottom of his front paws. Its a double recessive color pattern and related to sable.

Those "rottweiler" markings your dog has are common in over 30 common breeds of dog.

Oh, and there are Black and Tan lines in many Bully breeds, including the English Bulldog

Thank you to you all

Thanking you for the valuable info, even today whilst walking my dog on the beach, 4 people could not believe he is a purebred, thanks to your info i am now able to confirm that he is and also make others aware that they come in a variety of colourings.

Sara that brindle pup is ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!

Trindle never heard it that way, guess that's what my dog was he had brindle in tan points.

OP I wouldn't worry about what other people think. Most people, even if they own dogs, don't know jack about dog breeds or something as simple as coat color genetics. It is a recessive trait.

I've had multiple people comment my tan points must be mixed lol! I was even told one LOOKED LIKE A ROTTWEILER yet the only thing they have in common is the tan points he looks nothing like a Rott.

I'm blanking here atm but I believe that while black and tan is less desirable in the SBT it isn't a even a DQ. Is the pup KC registered?

the pup is an alphalpha bulldog, we picked her up for a friend and she was here for a few days... so ADORABLE and the drive on that dog WOW!

Lovely dog, Holly is a tri bc, a man once asked me if she was a Rottie, Holly was a puppy at the time, i guess it was because of her colouring aswell.
