Is a lilac tri American Bully considered a rare color?
Yes, the lilac tri American Bully like Bella is considered a rare color within the breed. This specific combination of coat traits is produced by recessive genes, which makes it less common in most breeding programs. To achieve the lilac tri pattern, both parents must carry the genes for dilution, chocolate, and the tan point pattern. Without these genes present in both the sire and dam, the desired color will not appear in the litter.
The “lilac” part of the coat comes from the dilution of chocolate pigment, resulting in a soft, silvery-lavender tone. The “tri” part includes tan points – typically visible above the eyes, on the chest, and on the legs – combined with white markings. These colors make lilac tri Bully puppies stand out, especially when paired with light-colored eyes.
Because this color combination requires very specific genetics, not all XL American Bully or Bully XL kennels can produce it consistently. It may take multiple generations of selective breeding to lock in the traits. For this reason, puppies with this coat pattern are often priced higher and offered with limited availability.
While the lilac tri American Bully is eye-catching, reputable breeders like Topdog Bullies still focus on more than color. A quality breeder prioritizes structure, temperament, and overall health in every pairing. Rare colors may draw attention, but a sound foundation ensures the dog thrives long-term.
