There is always the question of what color is my "Sable"... Please post your picture and tell us what color "sable" you think your dog is. I hope this will be informative for all of us and won't become a bashing session for those that seem to want to argue.. I myself can't tell what color the sable is - so I will post this picture for discussion.

It is not my dog - but in my dogs pedigree - and it isn't a very good one...

I have been advised this is a patterned sable....

Here is a picture of a puppy - what color do you think she is?

I would venture a guess that the top picture is a patterned sable.( red) Probably carries B&T

The puppy would be a very dark red sable, but puppies change so much that who really knows. She is beautiful though.

I would say that JustK9's "Rookie" is a black sable.

Yogie..:)
second one looks like red sable....

and mine would be 5 month old "silver sable" although I am on the fence about it...i seen some "cream sables" with similar colorings except they looked more golden, almost liver ..

My 4 month old is showing signs of being sable. He appears all black right now but I can see sable coming in in his face and his legs. So perhaps a patterned sable.

Can you post a picture??

Sables tend to lighten before getting darker.

Normal patterned sable at 5 months

Here are a few of the sable dogs we've had over the years.

This guy has tan stockings. He's a sable, patterned like a melanistic bicolour

She was also patterned like a bicolour, complete with what some call a reverse mask.

I call her a "grey sable."

I call her a "black sable."

And this girl would be another "grey sable" by my definition.*

* I do not claim my definiton of colors to be the be-all and end-all. It's just the terms I use.

I will post if I can get him to stand still for long enough. In photos he looks all black right now. If he catches the light right you can see his undercoat is lightening up in the legs and the head.
