Default Let me get this right!? Sable question

Sable I know has to do with coloring, so...When I rub Emmas fur up it appears to be half light near the roots and black at the end, but when her fur is brushed correctly she looks total black on her back, so doe that make her sable? I'm so sorry for all the sable questions, I'm just trying to make sure she's sable or something else!

If you look at the pictures that I just posted of Fantom and Spirit. They are sables. Fantom is a black sable and Spirit is kind A cross between Ghost and Cira. Hope this helps

I would call that a blanket black and tan. "Blanket" meaning there is more coverage of black than just the nose and the saddle, but not enough to be a true bi-color.

Yes, she is a blanket black and tan. Not a sable.

Thanks everyone....I'm just wondering how much of that black is going to fade away as she gets bigger? Like I mentioned above, when her fur is rubbed up, there is a lot of white/tan below all that black, will that eventually come through? Not that it matters, I'm going to love her and accept any color she may be, and to me she will always be beautiful.
