i have had several sable puppies and we joke around and call them that odd color. they look very brown when born with tan underneath.... i called one of them Grandma moses. Lots of people knew her. have plenty of pictures of them at under a week of age... sometimes grey sables look black but red sables look brown and tan.....THE COLORS SHE WAS DESCRIBING ARE NOT GENETICALLY POSSIBLE since she could have NO BLACK AND TANS. Dont be led astray by flashy words. ----- Original Message ----- From: PAGAIRS@xxxxxxx Date: Sunday, November 21, 2004 9:23 am Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] color of puppies > In a message dated 11/20/2004 10:21:24 PM Central Standard Time, > NHANSBURG@xxxxxxxxxx writes: > > > sometimes we call sables that strange color.they are born tan > with black > > stripes > > Guess you never had a sable baby....and whos "WE" that calls them a > strange > color.
