Dunno, but I see plenty of working lines that look the same. My pure working line sable is as "washed out" as any of the sables posted in this thread. I actually like the showline color a bit better because it's more red, I really don't like a washed out sable look that's more gray.

Most of the dogs here look very well pigmented, I don't understand how these dogs look washed out?? I have seen some very pale sables, but not in this thread.

The bad thing about the showline sables is that they all seem to be washed out. Why is this?
When you read my post above where I quoted Malcolm Willis' explanation about the patterns on the Agouti allele, you will find your answer there. Showlines generally follow the a-s, the saddle pattern which means that even when they are sable, they usually only have a saddle pattern on their back, even though some have a bigger one than the "regular" black and red/tan. That explains the perceived washed out look.
As Liesjers said: It looks worse if a workingline sable is washed out (has faded pigment - look at the E-series as Willis described) because their sable pattern is a-w (grey) as opposed to a-y (red/tan).
And dogs like Ronaldo von Arlett, Margman Thorsten and Timo vom Berrekasten are definitely not washed out. They have more pigment than a lot of the black and red dogs.

This sable female is 3/4 showline with 1/4 of DDR mix. She is much darker. Even as pups,the dogs that got a little mix are bolder colors, in MOST, not all of the pups.

The above is a photo of our puppies aged 1 week. The sire is a son of VA3 Yukon v d Bastillie and the dam is Korzwin Whitney. There are 6 sables and 3 black and golds . The sables are very dark in colour, They are now 10 days old. I will put up more photo's as they grow so you can see how the colour changes.
