I DID know a Select Ch. black and tan bitch who had 2 black and tan parents and one sable littermate. Her breeders/owners DID have a sable house dog, but, had a black and tan male with ROM points and wanted him to earn his ROM. This was before dna testing and apparently the AKC didn't give a hoot, as they did register everyone!! True story. The male never did get his ROM. The Select Champion bitch never produced anything showable!! Sometimes these things do work out for the best!!
