what would you call their coloring/markings?

I feel stupid for asking this but what would you call my dogs color/markings? First is my 2 almost 3yr old male Kenai:

and here is my 6 month old female Kiva:

So what do you all think?

I am not an expert but I BELIEVE, the first is Saddle Back, and the second is blanket back!

I have a sable, so I don't dapper in those coats often.

I think the second will be a saddle back. She is only six months old. And she is already lightening up on the leg.

Thanks guys

lol Just for fun(doubt it would help) here are pics of them when they were pups.

Kenai the day we brought him home:

and now Kiva's turn:

I think he's a sable. Could he be a sable? I thought maybe in the first pictures, but the puppy pic really looks sable.

The girly looks like a black and tan saddle back, all that red on the ears. Cute pups, good looking dogs.

My first guess was a patterned sable and the second (right now, could change because she is so young) is a blanket black and tan.

The first pup is a saddle pattern sable, just like Dante

Barb E · 09-03-2011, 11:41 PM

And actually the puppy pictures help a lot.

When I got Dante and had an argument with someone that he is a Sable I had to pull his all tan puppy picture to prove my point
