I think your dog is a red and white.
A sable IMO is one of two things, one is the classic sable with Monk's cap and sable over the body too. The second is more like the red headed tri pattern with a sable saddle. Not just on the shoulders but over the back in a saddle pattern. A dog like this probably carries the RHT gene.
