Extremely rare blue-haired puppies, only 10,000 have 1

The dog's owner was surprised to find that the pack has blue fur that resembles Princess Fiona's complexion from the cartoon Shrek.

The blue-haired girl is named Fiona

"Our green pup is rare. I want this hair color to last forever. Looks so cool!", the blue dog's owner, Audra Mosher from Canada, shared on Facebook.

Mr. Trevor and Audra Mosher's new breed Bulldog Freya puppy have eight children, and this blue dog is the most special. They named it Fiona, after a princess from the cartoon Shrek.

Dogs born with blue fur are extremely rare

Fiona was born in a black amniotic sac, while her siblings were born in normal, opaque white amniotic sacs. Fiona's strange blue coat color is the result of exposure to biliverdin in bile in utero.

Audra and her husband thought Fiona was stillborn until they discovered it was still moving.

Mr. Trevor told Global News: "We dried him off and found he had blue fur. Instantly, I thought something was wrong. So we posted a picture of him on social media: 'My puppy is green yes, what's wrong? ’. It’s very rare and only occurs a few times around the world.

The blue coat makes Fiona stand out the most in the pack

I was amazed and lucky to witness it and be a part of its life. "

Veterinarian Bronwyn Crane said the chances of a dog being born with a blue coat were less than one in 10,000. "I've never seen a green puppy before," she said. However, the color fades and disappears completely.

In 2020, The Sun reported that a white German Shepherd named Gypsy gave birth to a similar blue puppy. Experts say the puppy's odd coloring may be caused by meconium.
