Yes, she is sable. This means that both Sadie's sire either was sable, or carried sable, and that her black dam was a sable carrier.

If Sadie's sire was sable, then she would have taken an a'y' (sable) allele from him on the agouti locus**. In that case for sure she is a carrier.

Was he sable?

** It is possible that the sire or dam of Sadie could be carrying a't' as well, which is recessive even to sable. ONE, however, would have given an a'y' allele to that pup for her to show sable.

hope all goes well

hi,
They are lovely! Sorry if this it daft, but who is she registered with? I thought it was only registries like DLC that require pictures (and will register on looks alone)?

Fingers crossed for you and your lil girl is adorable - bet she'll have amazing puppies if she is pregnant. Please keep us informed!

Ah, I'd always assumed the continental kc was the states equivalent of dlc- fewer questions asked kinda thing (and many use it because it's cheaper?) like I say I have no idea or personal experience, just what I've seen on other forums about ckc...

Will 2 pups be a good litter for a pom- not grow too big prewhelp or anything on her? Sounds like you have your bases covered neways!

But for future readers- careful with calcium supplements pre whelp- if you don't have a mentor to tell you exactly what to give... Find one!

Can't wait for fluffball pics!
