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.
