Physical Attributes: The American sable's most unique attribute is its distinct coloring, and the ruby red glow in its eyes. Other notable attributes are the very soft fur and the rounded body.

Personality: American sables tend to be quite friendly and love attention.

Coat Type and Grooming: The coat is medium in length, fine, soft, and very dense. American sables tend to shed in patches, and they often take a long time to shed, so they may require more grooming than some breeds. A slicker brush is good.
