What is the definition of "sable" in relation to Pomeranian coat colors?

I have some puppies and I'm trying to find the right word to describe them. They are tannish brown with a black stripe down their backs, black ears and black hairs throughout the coat in smaller portions, and other patches with more black hairs interspersed more deeply amongst the brown/tan hair. The father is a red and the mother is black. Sorry, no pictures at present.

Could you please give me a link to a page explaining the colors and the names of the colors, etc. Thanks for your help.

    I am a reputable breeder and exhibitor of pomeranians.

    In orange sable, the main coat colour is orange, with black in the guard hairs also any orange pom with black whiskers has sable in its background.

    The black stripe down the back means they are only just born, this fades.

    You cannot tell the coat colour at this time, at around 4-5 weeks sometimes earlier IF you know what you are doing you look at the coat colour behind the ears, and also on the legs.

    Cream sable means main colour is cream, with darker patches.

    Self coloured means the paws, nose and eye rims are all light pinkish. (very very loose terminology)

    I would guess that you are going to have orange or red sables.

    the brown or tan is what we reputable breeders call orange or red.

    red is a dark orange, NOT tan. the orange would be the tan. we breeders like orange, .but we like it to be as clear as possible.

    We like to use black in, as this brightens the colour and adds depth, I put a red sable to a black, and out of that, got a clear orange, a dark rich red, and a black. (3 litters)

    Here is a wonderful breeders take on colours. She has a wonderful knowledge of the breed, and although I live on other side of world to her, she has my utmost respect.

  • I have a cream/sable. To me, that means that her coat is cream with accents of sable. I call them streaks of sable. This is not my dog, but she has the same colorings and marking,s

    How on earth do you not know your breed's coat colors, especially when you go and breed them? No wonder the world is ending.

    If you bred these dogs, you should know their coat colors by heart. You shouldn't be asking on Yahoo Answers.

    I'm sure you can Google this stuff yourself. This just further proves you have NO BUSINESS BREEDING.
