I didn't have Kida when she was born, her other mother would have to answer
that question of color when she was born.
I was just looking at her pictures as she ages I'm guessing she was
extremely dark as a puppy? She wasn't as dark when she was younger and
every single time she sheds (two dozen times in two and a half years <G>)
she gets darker and darker. Her color also depends on what stage of growth
she's in with her coat. Her face is is black with little cute eye brows.
My first sable.. we'll see what happens! If she keeps going darker as she
sheds based on what you're saying she could have been born black!! She has
gotten darker and darker with each new coat and not the same color as she
was before she blows coat. My guess with my experience so far is that
sables darken with age.

Don't most sables darken with age?
No. They are usually their darkest when born, get quite light around 8-12
weeks, then start to darken again.
Bitches lighten up when they shed, then come back in the same as before the
shed.
There are some many different "tone" colors of sables..........I started
with, as Carolyn mentioned, a silver sable when I got my first GSD. I had
no
idea about colors at that time, but I had so many comments on how pretty
she
was from everyone that met her. I only bred her once to a Morgan son and
she
never reproduced herself. Got very rich red sables.
Over the past 35 years I would say I have had 10 or 11 different color
tones
of sables, and of the 6 I currently have, only 2 are similar, a mother and
daughter.
And something no one has touched on.....when you get washed out black and
tans one of the best ways to get pigment back in your line is to breed to a
good rich pigmented sable.
