aww Freya is a cutie!!
Yes I agree with Teresa that their coats look better when they get older. When I first picked Ziggy out of the litter I picked him because of his personality ,not because I thought he was the cutest. My breeder told me that he will be the best looking when he gets older and I didn't believe her at the time but now I am amazed at his colors!

Sables have black in their coat. Most corgi puppies look gray or the color muddy looking. They will not get brilliant colors til later. When you have a blond puppy they are what you call a true red because they have no black in their coat and you can tell this when they are born. They will then get a more redish coat and the blond with disappear and they will look just like the other red and whites. I will post a picture later of a litter I had with a true red, sable, red and white, and tri colored puppy all in one litter.

What color undercoat does sables have? Does it matter? So far Freya's undercoat is gray.

Happy holidays to everyone too!!! I was at a Japanese bookstore and they had the CUTEST corgi magazine with the cutest pictures. I don't know the japanese language but it looked like a monthly magazine and it was dedicated to sable corgis!!! of course i had to buy one even though I couldn't read the magazine but the pictures were worth it!

Hello, my name is Andrea and my dog's name is Eddie. He is registered as a Sable with White markings, but same people have said he is Red & White with Sable markings. His undercoat is black, which makes his top coat look like a very rich red color, except when he is out of coat then he looks semi-orange in color lol. But the end of his tail and most of the underside of his lower jaw is black. Feel free to look at my photos and give an opinion. ^_^ The 2 professional photos that I had taken were when he was out of coat, so you can see the difference in color the black undercoat makes.

As it was eplaned to me by a long time breeder, a sable by AKC standard is a red dog with black hairn but the long time standard is a red dog with a black munks cap and black hairs and even rarer is one with a racoon mask.

Well, he hasn´t many black hairs scattered... Rascal has a litlle group of black hairs right on the tail and that´s it... anywhere else is red and white, but I´m not sure if a sable corgi has to have a visible black pattern.

I don't see much black in him. If you look down at him from the top, does it look like some black hairs are scattered everywhere?
