What makes a chocolate tri American Bully chocolate tri
b/b at the B locus turning all black pigment brown, plus at tan points and white markings. The nose is brown rather than black, which is the quickest way to tell a true chocolate from a dark seal.
How to tell it’s genuinely chocolate tri
Confused with black tri, especially in photographs taken in shade. A chocolate tri has brown pigment throughout, so the nose is brown. A black tri with sun-faded coat still has a black nose. This one is easy to check and worth checking, because the price difference is substantial.
What chocolate tri costs, and what I charge
Commonly $3,000 to $6,000. Better value than the merles at similar money, because it carries neither the merle risk nor the dilution risk.
Worth knowing that chocolate tri is one of the better value propositions among the fashionable coats, because it’s genuinely uncommon and it carries none of the health baggage that blue and lilac do. It isn’t diluted, so there’s no color dilution alopecia risk, and it has no relationship to merle. If you’re drawn to the tri pattern and you’re weighing chocolate against lilac, the chocolate is the lower-risk animal.
Every puppy I sell is $700, chocolate tri or otherwise, XL or pocket, male or female. Why the number is $700.
Health, specifically for this coat
None specific to the coat. Chocolate is full pigment rather than diluted, so the dilution alopecia risk doesn’t apply.
Everything else is about the breed rather than the coat. The full picture, and how every coat compares.
