> Sable is dominant to BOTH black and tan and solid black.   Black and tan 
> is dominant to solid black. So--- black and tan is recessive to sable, and 
> solid black is recessive to both sable, and black and tan.
> Since  a pup carries TWO color genes, one from both parents, you can get 
> the following combinations stated below---- ( these are the simple 
> versions, but you can apply these rules to all )
>
> there are also two words you should know- homozygous, which means both 
> genes in a dog from both parents are the same color ----and heterozygous, 
> which means that the dog carries a different color gene from each parent. 
> Example,  black and tan & solid black,  or sable& black and tan,  or 
> sable&black  In these color combinations, the first color is the dominant 
> one that you actually see on the dog.
>   Conversely a solid black dog is what you would call a homozygous 
> RECESSIVE.  A sable can also be a homozygous DOMINANT for sable, both 
> parents having given that dog a sable color gene.

> A sable parent which carries both genes for sable ( homozygous-meaning

> A black and tan (homozygous)  parent bred to a black and tan (

> Two black and tans ( heterozygous) EACH carrying  a recessive for solid

>
> Solid blacks ( homozygous -pure recessive for black) bred to another solid 
> black will produce all solid blacks
>
> Solid blacks  bred to heterozygous black and tans (which are carrying the

> Solid black bred to anyother color combination- sable or homozygous black
