Tricolored dogs are striking, beautiful, and completely unique – no two dogs will have the same coat pattern. Some of the most common combinations are brown, black, and white, or blue, black, and gray but these aren’t to be confused with brindle or merle colorings. Brindle is a more stripey mix (think stripey greyhounds) and merle looks a little more like marble. Tricolored dogs have three distinct colors on their coat and are actually fairly common.
