They go through MANY stages. How old is this puppy? At one point, sables will be very washed out looking and have little color other than their masks. Then, their coarse outer hairs come in and are generally black. Some go through pretty dramatic color changes until 2 or so. My cousin's dog was a normal sable until about 2, then darkened A LOT and is black sable currently.
Xander is a pretty average sable (don't tell him I said that.)
Here is a pic. As you can see not much black at this point.
Real good pup. Not working lines but good drives and smart.
Thinking maybe I can talk my friend into letting me have him.
I wouldn't call him a sable at all, having seen that. He looks smart; has a "someone's home" look in his eyes. I have seen that color (or lack of) before, though not often. You're right; he's got a GSD body/face and Mal coloring.
Are the breeders absolutely 100% positive no one else could've gotten to the dam?
The lady had both parents. Mom was very blonde.
Dad was dark. His brother and sisters colors are diverse.
Two all black pup's. Couple of sable some really dark.
A blonde and a red pup.
Those who would give up essential freedoms for the temporary feeling of safety deserve neither!!
