Some Staffies are born with a grey-blue coat because of a recessive gene that only influences the coat colour and nothing else; it does not affect a puppy’s personality or behavior. Both parents must carry the gene to produce blue puppies in the litter.
How can you tell if a Staffy is purebred?

A Staffordshire Bull Terrier’s head is of a short length overall and in foreface.
Do blue Staffies have brindle in them?
The colour blue is a result of an abnormality of the black brindle gene, causing a dilution. It is a gene that influences hairs to form with larger, abnormal pigment granules due to abnormalities in melanin transfer and storage. This pigment clumping leads to washed out, or dilute colours.
