Default What colour is Rain?

Rain is an 8month old purebred. I'm not sure what colour she is, I have had one vet say black and tan, another say sable. I need to know as I have to register her soon. If she is sable, what particular sort of sable? The small amount of black she has on her is mixed with very light(almost golden) hairs. Her tail is mostly golden as well.

She is a sable. Interesting pigmentation on her, with the black nose and dark ears and tail tip, but very light otherwise.

Thanks, I had no idea what to make of her. Mum is apparently a red sable with a short coat. The dad is a long haired with black nose and ears, but completely golden the rest of the body, this is considered some sort of sable too?

Do you think her coat is fairly mature now at 8months, or will it continue to change yet?

"what color is Rain" i thought you meant
the color of rain that comes from the clouds
or this was going to be some tear jerking words
or poem. night, night.
