I'm not good with math, but if I'm doing it right, the probability of a litter of 5 tris from 2 sable parents is 1/1024. Ew.
I'd have expected 1/4 tris, 1/2 sables, 1/4 reds. I think I goofed.
Ew... if the litter was all tris, that is possible but unlikely. How many pups? I work in a medical genetics lab, so I'm s'pozed to know these things, ha-ha...
Clint is adorable, have fun, be very intentional, organized, and diligent about training, it will all pay off.
The pics of Mr. Clint at all the different ages are interesting.
Mom & Dad are both sables? Lessee, that means we'd expect 1/4 of the litter to be tris, 1/2 sable, and 1/2 red... if I've got it right. Do you know what the actual ratio in the litter was?
There's a coat color genetics article on the PWCCA website that says Sable is an incompletely dominant form of Red that allows a bit of the tri gene to show in sable/tri carriers.

My daughter does deviantART too. I like the fox headdress. I have a perfect red fox pelt (roadkill, Montana); it's even softer than Gwynnie's fur.
I was wondering if it was Clint as in Eastwood. If you've not seen Gran Torino, I think it is his best by far.
...and Deborah too!

Gorgeous puppy, have fun.
