Brindle is a coat coloring pattern in dogs. It is sometimes described as "tiger-striped", although the brindle pattern is more subtle than that of a tiger's coat. The streaks of color are irregular and usually darker than the base color of the coat. Brindle are seen in cat breeds such as Abyssinian, Domestic Shorthair, American Bobtail, American Curl, American Shorthair, Ocicat, and Oriental..
