A solid black bred to a sable will often produce black sables. The reason is 
the black is a recessives color, in other words the black parent has nothing 
other to give then black.  If the sable parent does not carry black then it can 
not produce solid black...right? However, sable seems to be dominate and if the 
sable being bred has a dark outer coat, not a brown or grey,  the pups will 
often be black sables. The undercoat is usually cream since there was no red 
color coming from the black parent. On the other hand, sable bred to a black 
and tan/red will often intensify the red color.  What I think is interesting is 
a solid black will sometimes have a few cream colored hairs around its hocks 
and toes. I've been told this is still a solid black geneticly. SueT
