People would always ask what "supplements" I gave him to enhance his coat. What I think they meant was, "what dye did I use". There was another black with an amazing thick rich coat .....Rivendell's Black Ice. I dare anyone to say he was dyed either. Just all dog. I bred to him and have one of the thickest coated, richest sables you ever saw. By the way, if you lose pigment, go back to sable one round....it usually will bring it back.
