Mira is a sable merle. The color has not been recognized very long. Not only that but most sable merles are cryptic, meaning they look like a washed out sable and its really hard to tell them from a light sable. Mira is special, she is one of only a handful of non-cryptic sable merles that I know of. One is a champion and looks a lot like her sister so they can show but most just don't look like that. They are so uncommon that a couple websites I have read stated that all sable merles are cryptic when obviously thats not true. Some of the white on her butt is camera flash cause she is so shiny, she is bordering on 50% white so may have been able to show but the blue eye disqualifies her, even though its caused by the same gene as a blue eye in blue merles they don't allow it in the sable based colors.Originally Posted by Ladydragon
Lilith the elkhound is coming around, I was surprised she passed the TDI test so soon since she was adopted to me with behavioral problems but she has come a long way since August.
