These are the same "seal" dog. There is some disagreement about what this color/pattern actually is. It appears to be a very heavily marked sable - the sable equivalent of a "black brindle" - but the very few seals I know about all have at least one black (or blue) parent...so maybe it's some kind of modification of black (or blue.) This is as close as a Whippet gets to being "brown" in color - the mixture of the black sabling and the underlying fawn reacting on each other to produce a visual shade of brown.
