Brindle is a coat coloring pattern in animals, particularly dogs, cattle, guinea pigs, cats, and, rarely, horses. It is sometimes described as "tiger-striped", although the brindle pattern is more subtle than that of a tiger's coat. Brindle typically appears as black stripes on a red base.
The most desired coat color is white – preferably with apricot-tipped ears. Breeders often confine the dogs to cold dark caves near the Kintamani volcano, insisting it an essential step in developing the thick white coat. The FCI standard also accepts fawn (beige), red, brindle, and black colours.
On homozygous M/M "double merles", black is replaced with ~25% black, ~50% silver and ~25% white, again with random variation, such that some animals have more black or more white. Eumelanin (black/etc.) is significantly reduced by M/m , but phaeomelanin is barely affected such that there will be little to no evidence of the merle gene on any ...
An all-white dog or a dog with no white is disqualified from the conformation show ring.
