Lab name: Viable Yellow Fancier name: Brindle, American Brindle, Tiger Brindle, etc. Genotype: Avy/* Chromosome: 2 Originated: Spontaneous mutation (transposon insertion) Show class: Brindle General description: Stripped similar to a tiger from head to tail. Less define stripes on the belly. Pictured: American Brindle |

Lab name: (non-agouti) Brindled Fancier name: Brindled, Sex Linked Brindle, X-Brindle, English Brindle, etc. Genotype: a/a Mobr/* Note that Brindled is Sex linked. Homozygous Brindled is lethal as well as brindled bucks. Chromosome: Brindled is on the X chromosome. Originated: Spontaneous mutation (point mutation) Show class: Brindle General description: Stripped similar to a tiger from head to tail. Less define stripes on the belly. They can be any color with eyes to match. Stripes on English brindles usually get wider with age. Pictured: Broken Brindled Click picture to see it larger. |

Lab name: (non-agouti) Roan or Roan Freckled Fancier name: Roan Genotype: a/a Rn/* and/OR a/a Rnfkl/* Chromosome: 14 Originated: Both were Spontaneous mutations in lab stock. Roan was first found in gremlin stock while Freckled was first found in stock carrying t-alleles. Show class: Roan General description: Coat is a mixture of white and any other color which is evenly distributed throughout the body. Eyes should match the body color. Pictured: Roan |

Lab name: unknown at the present time Fancier name: Merle Genotype: unknown at the present time. However, it is believed to be a modifier of roan or another gene which is stopping the roaning in areas, leaving solid patches (much like how the splashed gene stops c-dilute in areas). Chromosome: - Originated: - Show class: Merle General description: Coat is marble-like in color. Lighter roan body with evenly distributed patterns of a solid color. Eyes to match the base color Pictured: Black Merle |

Fancier name: Himalayan Genotype: a/a ch/c Show class: Himalayan General description: white body with define dark points on the nose, ears, feet, and tail. Pink eyes. Click here to see an illustration of this variety. Pictured: Himalayan Texel |

 |
Fancier name: Color Point Beige Genotype: a/a ce/ch Show class: Color Point beige General description: Color Point beige can look just like Himalayan but with dark eyes or they can have an off white (creamy) appearance along with the points and dark eyes. Pictured: CP Beige Texel |

Lab name: (non-agouti) Himalayan Fancier name: Siamese (homozygous "Himalayan" makes what a fanciers call Siamese) Genotype: a/a ch/ch Chromosome: The Himalayan allele is on chromosome 7. Originated: Spontaneous mutation (Point mutation) Show class: Siamese General description: Similar to the Himalayan but with larger points and nice body shading. Ruby eyes. Pictured: Siamese |

Lab name: Unknown Fancier name: Reverse Siamese Genotype: Unknown Chromosome: Unknown (likely having to do with extreme dilute ce) Originated: Unknown Show class: Reverse Siamese General description: Any color mouse with bright white points at the nose, ears, feet, and tail. Reverse siamese are usually (possibly always) coffee with white points. Pictured: Reverse Siamese Texel (she is not fox. That's bad coloration in combination of white reflection) |

Fancier name: Burmese Genotype: a/a cch/ch Show class: Burmese General description: Burmese can come in almost any color with dark points at the mouses nose, feet, and tail. Points are the same color as the body, just darker. Burmese can vary in shade from dark chocolate (making the points indefinable) to light brown with very dark points. Pictured: Burmese a/a cch/ch |

Lab name: Yellow, Tan, Umbrous-Patterned Fancier name: Sable Genotype: Ay/at Up/* Chromosome: At the present time, the chromosome Umbrous-Patterned is located on is unknown. Originated: Spontaneous mutation (First discovered in a Peru stock mouse with high frequency of non-pairing of the sex chromosomes, after introduction of the yellow allele Ay) Show class: Sable General description: Mouse should have a dark back fading into a red-ish-tan underside. Pictured: The Sable pictured here is not a "true" sable, genetically. She does, however, possess an amazing likeness to a true sable. She is recessive yellow genetically. |

Lab name: Unknown at the present time. Fancier name: Splashed Genotype: Unknown at the present time. However, speculation is that splashed is transgenic. More about Splashed in the Tri Color section. Chromosome: Unknown at the present time. Originated: Unknown at the present time. Show class: Splashed General description: Coat has darker splashes of color on a colored mouse. Splashed can come in any color with eyes to match. Splashed is not to be confused with Variegated. Pictured: Top: Cream splashed, Bottom: burmese splashed. Click picture for larger image. |
