Whatever colour, she is a cutie! The bitch from the puppy mill that Tin was in was a sable merle but it really wasn't apparent. She was mother to 5 double merle pups. It might be easier to spot, now that she is healthy and probably has a better coat, but when she came, to the untrained eye - mine- and to a couple of the breeders that also do rescue, she looked like a sable. Her mom is on the forum so I wonder what she would say about her colour now.
