FRENCHIES COME IN MANY DIFFERENT COLORS!

This is a beautiful blue and tan merle fluffy carrier boy.  Fluffy carriers are usually softer compared to short haired puppies, but in reality it can be very difficult to tell visually between a fluffy carrier and a short haired.  Due to this reason we do not charge extra for carriers. 

A carrier has a 50% chance of passing down the long haired allele to their offspring, if their mate also is a carrier or a full fluffy, they could possibly have full fluffy babies!

This is our boy Tiesto, he is a full fluffy blue and tan merle boy!   Its very easy to tell between a fluffy and a short haired frenchie after 2 weeks of age.  To see more photos of him, click here.  To be a fluffy a puppy will need to carry 2 recessive genes.  Tiesto, has two copies of the l4 long-hair allele,  which means he will have longer than average hair per the breed standard.  There are different long-hair alleles, the most common is L1 and L4 in Frenchies, visually we have not noticed any differences between dogs that have the 1 or the 4.

If he was bred to a full fluffy, they would produce all fluffies.  If he was bred to a fluffy carrier, they would produce 50% fluffies and the rest would be carriers.  If he was bred to a short haired, he would produce all fluffy carriers!
