The Chilier breed is a beautiful mix of the Cavalier and Chihuahua. The pups are unique and have their own variations and unique colourings. Since the Chilier is a relatively new designer dog breed, there is no official breed standard.
There are some general colours, and knowing their common coat colours can help you identify this mixed-breed dog. Let’s continue reading to learn more about the different colours of the charming Chilier.
The most common coat colours include fawn, black, and tan, with fawn often being particularly popular. They can also display a range of patterns, such as spotted or brindle.
While fawn and black are common, other shades like ruby or cream can also appear. Breeders typically follow standards that emphasise these traditional colours, making less common variations more rare.
Chiliers come in several different colours.
Their colouring will largely depend on the parent breeds, their generation and whose genes are strongest. To get a better idea of the type of coat colour a Chilier will inherit, you need to pay attention to their parent breed’s coats.
Generally, this mixed dog breed is a blend of all the colour characteristics of their parents. Most litters will also have pups of different colours. For example:
A black and tan Chilier will likely be mostly black with some tan markings inside the ears, above their eyes, on their legs and chest, on their cheeks, and on the underside of their tail. The tan colour they get from both parent breeds is quite bright.
Tricolour Chiliers will generally be mostly white and black with tan markings on their cheeks and eyes, inside their legs and ears, and on the underside of their tail.
These Chiliers are often white with cream or fawn markings on their bodies. They may also be mostly white with very light markings.
This is a known colour for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and a Chilier will likely inherit a similar-looking coat. Chestnut markings characterise this coat on a mostly white body; markings are evenly spread out on the head.
It is not common to see a Chilier dog in one solid colour. Since they are mixed breed dogs, they are a fair blend of their parents and will likely be a mix of tan and black or white and cream.
Since they are relatively new, part of the designer dog breed group, and not purebred dogs, they are not recognised by the Australian National Kennel Council and, therefore, do not have any recognised colours.
However, the breed is recognised by the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), the Dog Registry of America, Inc. (DRA), the International Designer Canine Registry (IDCR), and the Designer Dogs Kennel Club (DDKC).
Choosing the colour of your Chilier all comes down to personal preference. Whether you go for a tricolour Chilier, a tan and black Chilier, or a cream Chilier, you will still have a loving, playful, and affectionate companion dog. All Chiliers are beautiful and unique in their own way!
If you want a specific coloured pet dog, it may be a challenge with Chiliers as there is no way of telling what colour the pups in a single litter will be – it is currently a bit of a gamble.
The same goes for all dog breeds; your Chilier will shed its puppy fur at about six months and start growing its adult fur. You may notice slight differences in colour on their coats as the hues may change a bit. You will not notice any major differences in these small dogs as they go from puppyhood into adulthood.
The cute and intelligent Chilier is a relatively new designer breed, and like most other dogs, Chiliers are perfect and cute no matter their coat colour. While they aren’t a recognised breed by most kennel clubs yet and don’t have a standard colour.
