Eva's Mouse Variety Page - Shaded

Denna sida på svenska.

The Shaded Varieties is a mixed group that mainly is based on different genes on the c-locus.

Sable

The sables are based on the gene A^Y - dominant yellow. It is stated in more than one "Fancy Mice" books that you can never have a Red Tan mouse, but there is certainly no sign of any evidence that this is true. In fact a Sable mouse can be a sooty Red Tan - A^Ya^t - or a sooty Red - A^YA or A^Ya. In many books and on many web pages they insist that the sable is caused by a gene called U for Umbrous, but there is no proof whatsoever that the U gene even exists in the fancy. You can breed sooty reds from not sooty red just by selection, and the other way around.

• Black Sable - A^Ya^t

• Blue Sable - A^Ya^tdd

• Chocolate Sable - A^Ya^tbb

• Lilac Sable - A^Ya^tbbdd

• Dove Sable - A^Ya^tpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Champagne Sable - A^Ya^tbbpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Silver Sable - A^Ya^tddpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Pale Lilac Sable - A^Ya^tbbddpp (Not in standards so far.)

Marten Sables

The marten sables are chinchillated sables.

• Black Marten Sable - A^Ya^t c^chc^ch

• Blue Marten Sable - A^Ya^t c^chc^chdd (Not in standards so far.)

• Chocolate Marten Sable - A^Ya^tbb c^chc^ch (Not in standards so far.)

• Lilac Marten Sable - A^Ya^tbb c^chc^chdd (Not in standards so far.)

• Dove Marten Sable - A^Ya^t c^chc^chpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Champagne Marten Sable - A^Ya^tbb c^chc^chpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Silver Marten Sable - A^Ya^tdd c^chc^chpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Pale Lilac Marten Sable - A^Ya^tbb c^chc^chddpp (Not in standards so far.)

The A^Y gene is lethal.

Himalayan

The Himalaya Group is buildt directly on the Black Group.

• Himalayan or: Black Point Himalaya - aac^hc. Owner: Birgitta Brandt.
  

• Blue Point Himalaya - aac^hcdd (Not in standards so far.)

• Chocolate Point Himalaya - aabbc^hc (Not in standards so far.)

• Lilac Point Himalaya - aabbc^hcdd (Not in standards so far.)

• Dove Point Himalaya - aac^hcpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Champagne Point Himalaya - aabbc^hcpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Silver Point Himalaya - aac^hcddpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Pale Lilac Point Himalaya - aabbc^hcddpp (Not in standards so far.)

Of course there are as many agouti based himalayas...

Agouti Point Himalaya - AAc^hc. (Not in standards so far.)

Siamese

The Siamese Group is also buildt directly on the Black Group. They all have aac^hc^h.

• Seal Point Siamese or: Black Point Siamese - aac^hc^h
  

• Blue Point Siamese - aac^hc^hdd
  

• Chocolate Point Siamese - aabbc^hc^h

• Lilac Point Siamese - aabbc^hc^hdd

• Dove Point Siamese - aac^hc^hpp or (Not in standards so far.)

• Champagne Point Siamese - aabbc^hc^hpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Silver Point Siamese - aac^hc^hddpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Pale Lilac Point Siamese - aabbc^hc^hddpp (Not in standards so far.)

Don't forget the agouti siamese...

Agouti Point Siamese - AAc^hc^h. (Not in standards so far.)

Neither Siamese nor Himalaya is able to show red pigment, so a Red Pointed Siamese will in fact look white - and a Fawn Pointed Himalaya will be what we call a mock albino.

Colourpoint

The Colourpoint Group is also buildt directly on the Black Group. They have aac^ec^h and are black eyed. The Colourpoints has been called Black Eyed Siamese.

• Colourpoint - aac^ec^h

• Colourpoint Blue - aac^ec^hdd

• Colourpoint Chocolate - aabbc^ec^h

• Colourpoint Lilac - aabbc^ec^hdd

• Colourpoint Dove - aac^hc^hpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Colourpoint Champagne - aabbc^ec^hpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Colourpoint Silver - aac^ec^hddpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Colourpoint Pale Lilac - aabbc^ec^hddpp (Not in standards so far.)

Burmese

The Burmese Group is also buildt directly on the Black Group. They all have aac^chc^h.

• Burmese - aac^chc^h

• Blue Burmese - aac^chc^hdd

• Chocolate Burmese - aabbc^chc^h

• Lilac Burmese - aabbc^chc^hdd

• Dove Burmese - aac^chc^hpp or (Not in standards so far.)

• Champagne Burmese - aabbc^chc^hpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Silver Burmese - aac^chc^hddpp (Not in standards so far.)

• Pale Lilac Burmese - aabbc^chc^hddpp (Not in standards so far.)

Brindle

Brindle is shown in all dark colours, agouti varieties included.

• Black Brindled - aaMo^brmo.
