Nae Nae

A ghost lilac tri Bully XL (like Nae Nae) is created through careful and purposeful breeding within the American Bully breed. This color and pattern result from specific genetic combinations that control coat color, pattern, and dilution. Producing Bully puppies with this unique look takes a skilled breeder and a strong understanding of bloodlines.

What Makes It “Ghost” Lilac Tri?
The term “ghost” refers to how subtle the tan points are on a tri-color Bully. In a typical tri, tan markings appear clearly on the eyebrows, chest, and legs. In a ghost tri, these markings are much fainter. They can be so light that they only show in certain lighting or as the dog matures. This makes the ghost variation more subtle and harder to produce.

The “lilac” part of the color comes from a dilution of black pigment. It creates a soft, silvery coat with a purplish tint. To produce this color, both parent dogs must carry the dilute gene responsible for the lilac shade.

What Genetics Are Involved?
To create a ghost lilac tri Bully XL, both parents must carry the genes for:

The tri-color pattern (which includes black or chocolate with tan and white)

The dilute gene (which turns black into blue and chocolate into lilac)

The recessive traits that affect coat expression

A breeder cannot guess or assume these traits. They must use DNA testing or rely on proven bloodlines to match the right parents. Even with the correct pairings, not all puppies in the litter will turn out ghost lilac tri. It takes experience and planning.

What Else Makes a Ghost Lilac Tri Bully XL Special?
Beyond color, these dogs are part of the XL class of the American Bully breed. An XL Bully has a larger frame, thicker bone, and a more muscular appearance than standard varieties. Reputable breeders select dogs that meet size requirements while keeping good structure and health.

Color alone does not define a quality American Bully. A well-structured XL Bully with balanced movement, a calm temperament, and strong health history should always come first.

Where Can You Find Ghost Lilac Tri Bully XL Puppies?
These puppies are considered rare and often come from top American Bully programs. A serious kennel may only produce a few of them each year. Most reputable breeders require potential buyers to join a waiting list. They may also offer early reservations based on planned pairings.

Always work with a breeder who can explain the pedigree, health screenings, and expectations for the litter. Avoid anyone focused only on color. True breed quality includes temperament, structure, and ethics.

Careful Planning
Producing a ghost lilac tri Bully XL takes more than luck. It takes knowledge of genetics, careful planning, and a commitment to healthy, well-structured dogs. Reputable breeders focus on the full picture – size, build, temperament, and coat. If you are looking for puppies in this color, start with a kennel that understands the breed and can guide you through the process.
