Title: Sable Cocker Spaniels
Post by: sarasam on November 13, 2012, 07:38:10 PM

I have a 10 week old male sable puppy. Since we bought him home he has shed a lot of his fur and is becoming much lighter. Has anyone else experienced, this can we expect a complete colour change?

I have a sable American cocker, but I am sure the same applies to the English. Sable is one of those colours that can change quite dramatically in the dog's life time. My Jesse started out very dark and now at 6 years old, he is quite light. So yes, I would say that what you are seeing re colour is normal, however, I am a bit worried about shedding. A 10-week old puppy doesn't normally shed yet...  :-\
