Discover 11 Rare and Unique Pitbull Colors

Want to look at some rare and unique Pitbull colors? According to the UKC (United Kennel Club) breed standard, American Pit Bull Terriers can have any coat color, but some are rarer than others. There is no AKC (American Kennel Club) breed standard, as they don’t recognize the breed at all.

Some rare colors you might see in Pit bulls include black, black and tan, white, red-nosed chocolate, and more!

In this article, we’ll discuss 11 rare and unique Pit bull colors. Remember to adopt or shop responsibly by researching your breeder, ensuring they complete recommended genetic health testing, and being prepared for all aspects of dog ownership!

1. Black

Purely black Pit bulls are rare. More commonly, you’ll see black Pitties with white spots–especially on the chest.

2. Black and Tan

Black and tan Pit bulls have similar markings to Rottweilers, with brown “eyebrows” and markings on the cheeks, chest, and feet.

3. White

White Pitbulls are also pretty rare. They may be albino (lacking pigment in the body) or not. Albino dogs are prone to disabilities and health problems such as deafness, eye problems, light sensitivity, and an increased risk of sunburn and skin cancer. Therefore, they shouldn’t be purposefully bred or purchased.

White Pitbulls who aren’t albino have no more health problems than your average Pittie.

4. Red-Nosed Chocolate

5. Light Fawn

Light fawn Pitbulls aren’t excessively rare. They have light tan colored coats, sometimes with white markings.

6. Red

Red American Pit Bull Terriers have orange-hued fur, kind of like a fox.

7. White and Black

White and black Pitties have both white and black fur. Their patterns can vary.

8. Red Brindle

Red brindle Pitbulls have red fur (an orange shade) with a darker striped pattern that’s easiest to see along their torsos.

9. Blue

Blue Pitbulls are fairly common and typically have white patches on their bodies. The color “blue” is a dilute, silvery black color.

10. Blue Fawn

Blue fawn has more silvery undertones than regular fawn coloring. These Pitties often have white markings, especially around their chests.

11. Tricolor

Tricolor Pitbulls have three coat colors; typically black, brown, and white.
