Bebe (BB)

Creating a black trindle (tri brindle) XL Bully like Bebe requires a focused breeding program that combines several specific genetic traits. The term “trindle” refers to a dog that carries the tan point gene, like a traditional tri Bully, but the tan areas are masked or blended with brindle striping. This gives the coat a unique look, where the brindle pattern appears in areas where solid tan would normally show.

To produce this coat, both parent dogs must contribute key genes. First, the pup must inherit at least one copy of the brindle gene (k^br) and two copies of the tan point gene (at/at). The base coat must be black, which means both parents must also carry the black pigment gene. When these combine correctly, the result is a black coat with brindle striping over the tan points, often on the legs, cheeks, and chest.

Beyond color, an XL American Bully must meet specific size and structure standards. This includes heavy bone, broad shoulders, muscular build, and a blocky head. Producing a true Bully XL with black trindle markings means selecting parents that not only carry the right color genes but also meet the physical and behavioral standards of the breed.

Responsible breeders like Topdog Bullies use genetic testing to confirm traits before breeding. Random breedings may result in mixed or inconsistent markings, or puppies that don’t meet size expectations. A well-run Bully kennel will also focus on temperament, ensuring that litters are stable and well-socialized.

If you’re looking to produce or purchase black trindle XL Bully puppies, work with a breeder who understands both the genetics and structure behind the look – not just the color pattern. Quality always matters more than rarity in any breeding program.
