Odd genetics story.

See the adorable show line puppy. Note that she is sable.

http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/classifieds/74215.html

Here is her pedigree:

She got the dominant sable gene from her V rated sable dam:

Who in turn got it from her V rated sable dam:

Who got it from her V rated sable sire:

Who got it from … uh oh, from whom??? Aren’t both of Champ’s parents B/R?

Anyone have an explanation?

Perhaps one of the B/R was a washed out sable that looks like a BR? There was a post a few days ago with links to a website explaining colors and they showed this version of the sable, which does look like a B/R.

If I am not mistaken, Champ's dam is a sable, as her sire Jocko was.

Champ Dakota's mother Vienchen Arlett was sable, her sire Jock was sable and his dam Soffie was sable.

I don't know if I agree with the above. Is Vienchen Arlett really a sable? She sure looks black and tan to me!

by Bucko on 19 February 2009 - 22:02

Is she really a sable? Doesn't seem so to me.

by Baldursmom on 19 February 2009 - 23:02

Look black and tan to me too. Maybe they think the bitch strip indicates sable??

by DeesWolf on 19 February 2009 - 23:02

She is a sable.

by Baldursmom on 19 February 2009 - 23:02

Because of the coloration on the neck? Muzzle does not look grey, so are the lighter areas bright points or just the photo?

Sable is a pattern, not a color.
