Looking for a black sable with good temperant...
Hey y'all I live in central California and was just wondering if there was any black sable breeders with a family friendly temperant? I was hoping for something in California but if there is a reputable breeder in Arizona, Nevada or Washington I Am willing to drive. Thanks in advance!

Welllll a black sable is most likely going to be from working lines .... family friendly sure....but may not be the kind of couch potato or fund laid back pet most families like.
The only reason you see so many sables in the working lines is there is no intent to breed for color and sable is dominant. Perhaps if you had a better list of what you want out of a dog - "family friendly" means different things to different folks......are we talking lay around on the deck and go for walks, are we talking about hiking and getting into dogsport of some type? Even the wild and crazy working lines (not all are wild and crazy though) love their family as that is the breed. I would say don't look for someone who breeds for color but if you have a strong color preference.....well...you can probably find it. Not like a sable is all that uncommon, even the very dark ones called "black" sables.

actually you should be looking for a good temperament and would prefer black sable
 Temperament /sound/good health I think should be first then color..tho I do like those black/dark sables myself. Kim does have beautiful dogs But as nancy said "family friendly" can be different things to different people.

Yes, I understand the color preference
Grim is a dark sable and Beau is a patterned sable and gets lighter every day. Who knows how he will wind up? He had what I was looking for. Hoo-boy - these dogs have a mind of their own entering the teenage years...
