 The Story of Jolie Buttons
*NOTE: If you are lucky to have access to the original AKC Stud Books in hard copy, you will see that many of the cockers that were originally registered as "Mahogany" were changed to "Red" once AKC put their pedigrees online. This is truly a shame, as it makes it hard for those doing pedigree research. But way back when, a breeder or owner could register their dog any color they felt the dog had. But once AKC made the parent clubs give them a list of allowable colors..AKC would only list them instead. It's been a huge pain..

Back in the 1960's a little cocker was born called *Jolie Buttons. She was a black girl who was very tightly inbred. She was bred to a parti and they produced a Mahogany (sable) named Sir Benjamin VII. (See photo at end of this)
She again was bred to a tricolor parti named CH Birchwood Bacharach, and they produced another Mahogany (sable) named Birchwood Mahogany Key, and a sable girl named Birchwood Mahogany Mirth.

*A little story about Jolie Buttons:
I have been doing an extended color pedigree of Jolie Buttons. I took it out as far as I could. I did an inbreeding report on her, and the pedigree is massively inbred. The number 1 dog she is bred on is Ronie II..30 times. 
This dog has more influence than any other dog in the pedigree. If you take his pedigree back, his great grandsire is CH Rowcliffe Red Chief who was a sable.(in the original AKC stud book)
Ronie II himself was bred on Red Brucie 26 times and Robinhurst Foreglow 35 times, 
who was also thought to be a sable (Mahogany).(Again only listed now as Red instead of Mahogany)
Jolie's grandsire on her dam's side was also CH Rowcliffe Red Chief.
There are NO tan points to stop the sable from being passed down, so Jolie when bred to a tan pointed dog..would have had no problem producing sable. (Please check out Sable Pattern Explained)

Jolie was bred to CH BIRCHWOOD BACHARACH, a tricolor, and they produced BIRCHWOOD MAHOGANY KEY who was registered (in the actual AKC stud books) as a mahogany.
She was also bred to BROADLAWN'S CBS, a red & white parti and produced a sable, Sir Benjamin VII.
Now before anyone says..they couldn't have produced sable since Broadlawn's CBS wasn't tan pointed...his dam was, or at least carried the tan point gene..
Broadlawn CBS's dam was CH KAMPS' KLEMENTINE, registered as a red & white but DID carry the tan point gene as she did produce tri when bred to CH Begay's Tan Man as well as CH Birchwood Bacharach.

This was in the the early 1970's and this dog was behind most (but not all) of the sables of today, and the breeding that started the huge discussion on sables with the ASC. 
You can go to the pedigree website and do a reverse pedigree on her and see how many well known sables and other Champion lines she is behind.
As you can see, there was no "Beagle" in the proverbial woodpile. LOL
