I'd call that a dark sable. IMO not near a black sable. His coat looks a lot like Pan's (Pan maybe darker on the body but not as dark/full black mask on the face) and I just refer to Pan as "sable".

How old is he? Is that his birthdate in your signature? He will continue to darken, but right now I would just call him sable. Nice dark face.

Wolfie is about 2 months older than Beau and I see a lot of similarities. Beau is a patterned sable having the B/T from his mother and a sable father.

The white stripe behind the elbow (no bitch stripe though), the grizzled hair on the neck, lighter belly underneath vs. my other sable who carries black and has none of those features.

Handsome dog!
