Are these two the same sable color or different? What color would you call them?

Sorry gsdlvr2.... Those cute pups do not look sable to me. Maybe a better picture?

Yeah they don't look sable to me either. A side shot of them standing would show better.

They are not sable, but black and red/tan.
These are sable puppies (first is a showline and the second one a workingline):

Look like black and tans/reds to me too. Definitely not sables.

Mom is a patterned sable. I'm having trouble uploading more pictures.

Regardless of what mom is, these two puppies are still black and red/tan, not sable. Sorry! Sables can and will have black and tan puppies as well, unless they are homozygous for the sable color and not many GSDs are. I had a litter out of two sables and more than half of the puppies were black and tan/reds.

Sorry, I just get a red "x".
A sable puppy is born tan or red and changes later. Sable showlines are usually patterned (saddle) and workinglines have a "blanket" covering.
I do not have a photo of the first puppy (showlines) since I sold him a 8 weeks, but the second one is my girl Viva (German workinglines and Czech) at 10 weeks and just two months later, she looks like that (barely 5 months old) - amazing isn't it? Sables can be like chamaleons:
Edited to add: I can see the photo in your last post and it is a black and tan/red puppy with a lot of whitish puppy fuzz which will go away.
