Twenty years ago I would say color means nothing, and is no indicator of anything. Today however, in the family of dogs I prefer, there has been two constants. 1. If they are born brown/black brindle they will knock their own teeth out by 12 months. 2. And more importantly, they will throw a really high percentage of bulldogs in every litter, bred back toward the family or crossed again. And even a 3rd. The crossed up brindled pups grow up to throw bulldogs.

I do not know why. They pop up and whether they are heavy on the Snooty or heavy on the Red Boy the wreck their hardware but throw bulldogs. I have used this line I swiped from an older fellow, "If bred to a German Shepard I'd bet on one at least one time".
