The Black Sable German Shepherd

The German Shepherd dog black sable is one of the kind of pure bred German Shepherd dog.

These dogs were bred in Germany and have become popular across the world because of their

unique abilities and diverse appearances. The dog is generally bred for colder climates because it

has four layers of fur which make up its coat. Uninitiated German dog enthusiasts are mistaken

in thinking that there is only one type of color or pattern available for the German shepherd dog.

This is generally considered the combination of tan or red with black or the saddle back. Furthermore, it is interesting to note that these colors are considered those of the mixed breed, which has been crossbred with the Siberian husky or Labrador retriever. Generally the sable color

comes from the Siberian Husky crossbred dogs while the solid black is a result of the crossbreeding with the Labrador retriever. The black sable is a very rare combination of the

color and pattern in the German Shepherd breed. The most common pattern, however, is the

saddle back and the black and tan combination. This is considered the classic look and is identified

most with the German Shepherd.
