I hope I am posting this in the correct section.

What do you consider her? Some people tell me black and tan, others say sable.

Sable. I bet if you look at the majority of the hairs on her body they'll have a light base with a black tip. That's sable. (Not to be confused with the bitch stripe hairs which often have a similar ticked appearence.)

Sable, absolutely! No question at all.. adorable sable GSD you have there!

Do you think she could be a black and gold long haired sable?

Here is a picture of one:

It looks just like her.

Anybody who says Black & Tan doesn't know what a Sable is. Definitely Sable!

Quite a beauty too.
