Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Hi everyone! Up until today I thought Finley was just black/white but I picked her up from boarding after going out of town this weekend, and they wrote down that she is sable. Fin has reddish/orange areas on her legs and ears but I never thought much of it. Here are some pics, let me know what you guys think! Personally i think they're just brown areas but I'm no expert! Smile

From here she doesn't look sable to me. As I understand it, the undercoat is some shade of red, cream but not the beige of wolf gray. https://www.google.com/search?q=color+sable+Siberian+husky&oq=color+sable+Siberian+husky&aqs=chrome..69i57.17599j0j4&client=ms-android-att-us&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

I would be more apt to put her at a dilute black and white over sable. having buff spots in my mind doesnt change the whole color listing.

Did you receive papers on her? The papers will have her coloring listed, not specific, but you are much more able to narrow it down. If it says black/white, she is of course black and white but the dilute is a category in black and whites. If it says grey/white, then you can narrow it down to silver, sable, wolf grey, etc.

Shes actually not papered! Her breeder labeled her as dilute black and white though which is what I assumed. I love her coloring so it doesn't matter but the boarding place made me curious haha. I think the reddish brown areas are so pretty!

Your avatar, she looks totally dilute black and white but man, the pics you posted for this thread had me thinking she might be one of the greys, LOL. Amazing how lighting can play with their coats. And yeah, she's got beautiful coloring Smile

I agree also that she looks more like a black and white. I would assume the tans looked red to them. Really you can tell by checking out the root. Sable – made up of reddish colored roots with black tips, which is more prominent in the saddle area. Red, copper or chocolate make up the undercoat. I would say you could also be a wolf grey before the sable. Wolf grey – A yellow/brown color starting at the root and ending in a black tip. Beige, yellow, red or tan colors are found behind the ears, the hindquarters and along the saddle area on the back. The undercoat is beige.
