• Striped Dog Names: The Brindle Coat, the Tiger Register, and the Gold Between the Stripes

  On a dog, "striped" almost always means one thing: brindle, the tiger-streaked coat of dark stripes laid over a warmer base. This guide starts with what is actually happening in that coat -- a single gene, the K locus, with a middle setting called the brindle allele that paints irregular dark stripes of black or brown pigment across a red or fawn ground -- and which breeds wear it, from the Boxer and the Greyhound to the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Plott Hound. From there it builds the name list in honest layers. The first and most obvious is the tiger register, because a brindle dog really does read as tiger-striped: the big cats, the cartoon tigers, the plain words Stripe and Stripes. The second names the warm gold the dark stripes lie over, the amber-to-caramel base that makes brindle glow. A third covers the white facial stripe some dogs wear, the badger blaze. A closing section is candid about the coat words that sound right but describe a different pattern entirely -- the spots and patches that are not stripes at all -- and about saying your finalist aloud before it goes on the collar.
