Is mixed coloring possible? This puppy's dam is sable and her sire is black and red. The puppy looks mostly like a black and red to me but I thought that sable was a dominant allele so shouldn't all the puppies have a sable phenotype? Her face is speckled so does that make her technically "sable" or just a black and red with a speckled face? Is there ever co-dominance or incomplete dominance in the color genes for German Shepherds?
Additionally, does anyone have any guesses as to how long/thick her coat will get? Both her parents have short coats (stock?) and as far as I could tell, no where in her parents' pedigrees did I see any long coats. She is almost 6 months old.
