Ellen Heintz told me years ago that sables were brown dogs. She told me in the 70s. Am I dating myself? <G> Penny in NC The Farm Dog Forever As I understand a sable dog has two coat colors on almost every hair of it’s body with lighter undercolor of grey, red or brown. I had several sables and at birth they were brownish black so maybe that is why they will always be considered brown.
