SABLE:dilute of the chocolate or black gene. If the base color (undercoat) of a newborn puppy is chocolate, the dog's adult coat will come in gold or mixed silver/gold with darker tipping on ears, around beard, and sometimes on the tip of tail and/or feet. Sable Cockapoos have a variety of coloring (buff, gold, gray), but the coats of sable Cockapoo puppies will turn gradually lighter until they reach their adult coloring by about one year of age. See samples of our second generation male Cockapoo below.
