Anyway my friend is looking for a suitable stud dog for her sable bitch and a question I'd never thought of came to mind. What would you get colour wise if you mated a sable bitch to a sable dog? Well now I know ... 75% of the litter would be expected to be sable, 25% would be black and tan as that is a recessive gene. But, if you have a sable, who has 2 sable parents and has picked up the sable part from both parents and then that dog will only produce sable, no matter what it is mated to. Interesting yeah!
If for any reason I could not mate Ross to Kaiah then I'd love to find a sable male for her. Of course there's more to breeding than colour and other factors are paramount, but I would love some sable babies one day.
