My Drus father is a saddle sable. His mother was a black sable and father a bi black. His granddaughter is a black sable and was bred twice to a black sable and we got black sables and blacks.

I evev know of one litter where 80% of the puppies were black and tan. Since sable is the dominant gene, you would not think that would happen.......but it does.
