No, color or pattern is not a matter of opinion, nor does undercoat have
anythingto do with sable. Actually, it is the outer coat which is sable, each
hair beingbanded with two colors.. Also all sables regardless of breed, have
what iscalled a " monk's mask" on the face, more pronounced on some than on
others.This is true of all breeds that allow sables, cplllies, Shelties,
Pembrokes, etc.If you caf ind the book by Anna Katherine Nicholas, there are
some excellentpictures of sables on pages 04,245, 187,272,274, 280 308,
371,395. The book isquite educational as is the book by Jimmy moses and win
Strickland.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Black & Red and Black Sables...
it appears that what people think "is" a certain color or pattern is a matter
of either opinion or semantics. So it leaves me wondering, hearing the talk
about "black" sables. For those willing to answer, how would you describe the
look of a black sable? Or now that we can post pictures, a picture would work
great too!
Just throwing it out there, thinking along the lines of how we can become more
effective in promoting our breed and all about it in a consistent manner all
around the nation, and the positive effect that would have for the breed if we
were unified in our terminology at least
Jen P & her Pack laughing about the semantics knowing that what I register as
"tan", most of y'all would consider "red" (my reasoning being that I don't
think it is red when you compare to what internationally is considered red...
We'd almost call it "mahogany" here in America!) oh and to me, a "black" sable
is one who looks just like a bicolor until you part their hair to reveal the
undercoat being phaeomelanic instead of eumelanic
