One of our many  traits we adore about Shelties is the variety of colors they come in so we have put together a Sheltie color chart using our Cincerlee Shelties.

 Can you tell  which color yours  is? 


 The sable Sheltie comes in a wide variety of shades ranging anywhere from pale gold to a dark mahogany.

Say hello to our lovely "Cher"

Here is a slightly darker sable with more black throughout the coat. Note that the base coat color is still brown.

As we get into heavier shading of black over the basic sable coat we have a "Shaded Sable". These darker sable  colors are usually the result of Tri-color or bi-color breeding in the dog's pedigree.

"Bailey" aka Bach Cincerlee Coastal Connection is pleased to be our Model!

Red shaded sable and white is  another 
variety of Sable

our handsome

 "Mala" Ch. Sharls Delamantha Divine Mind
 
is also "pure for sable" which means he only produces sable puppies no matter what color he is bred to.

 

Here we have the darkest variety of sable which is called a "mahogany"
