 A Sable Dog carries
the Gene Formula (ayatBCDEgmrSt). This color is dominant in nature to the
color Black and Tan, and recessive to the color Tan or Black.
This color is a combination of the genes (ay) tan and (at) black and tan
together. In order to produce a Sable dog a Black and Tan dog must be bred
to a Tan dog. The Black and Tan color carries the (at) gene essential for
producing the color Sable and the Tan dog carries the (ay) gene also essential
for producing the color Sable.
If you breed a sable dog to a sable dog you will produce some sable
pups, some black and tan pups and some tan pups.
This color varies in shade from a light to rich reddish tan color and
usually has dark or black hairs intermingled within those tan hairs, called
sabling. It is typically most apparent on the head and down the back and
may or may not completely disappear as the dog reaches maturity.
