I noticed this post was dated October 2010, it seems a pity there haven't been any more pics put up. I for one, would love to see the current winning mice.

there were a lot more but most became cluttered with off topic discussion and have been removed ,the last one needs archiving but it would have left the topic empty.I'm going to start some updated ones ,firstly with my own varieties and secondly with winners owned by other exhibitors (with their permission)The threads will be a pictorial rather than a discussion as all the standards are available from the club and direct contact with actual breeders via email,shows or the good old telephone is probably best.Not got time this weekend but I'm planning to make a start next weekend.

SarahC, that is wonderful. :) This is exactly why I've wanted to join the NMC (even though I'm in the US). Just to see what the real mice visually look like, who are winning in their varieties. Although, I'm also interested in the judges notes. (Like good attributes, not so good attributes of the mice. I think they said those are published in the newsletter.) To have a pictorial archive of past winners would be an amazing reference. It's difficult to visualize from written standards, the occasional old post or reference you stubble across, and text only.

Thanking you in advance. :D ,

Great,it shall be resurrected then.I'll alter the title to Best in Show or section winner (equivalent of best of breed)I think because some varieties are less likely to win BIS than others even if they excel and will therefore be excluded from the thread .I wonder as well whether it would be useful to widen the thread to non UK winners as long as they've been shown under the countries official club and the picture states the country as official standards vary?

if anyone else gets pictures of winning varieties that already have a thread going feel free to add them on providing permission from the owner has been granted if it isn't yours.
I've got a Best Marked and Best Op Age marked with dutch ( Black and Chocolate from West Country....think it was when i stewarded for you for the first time).

If you've got a good representation of a variety that's a winner add it on :D

SarahC, those broken are jaw dropping. I am LOVING the threads! Thank you Mark for the additional dutch, it was good to see the number entered in the class, so you know that each mouse was the best of 12, and 14, respectively . I liked that I could see them from an angle behind the ears.:)

Please convey a thanks to Loganberry for the argente photo. I remember when that mouse won, and I was suddenly desirous to know just what she was feeding her mice. :lol: I thought there was more, from other angles of that mouse, but I could be remembering pics of her other mice.

The fox took a weight off my mind, lovely mouse. (I had though from the standards, that it was necessarily to do something the face doesn't want to do before you had a show-able mouse.) Text standards don't tell you what is realistic, and what wins. Without that photo... I think I might have spent the next 20 years highly disappointed in any fox I bred.:oops: I suppose it won when I wasn't reading the forums, didn't get posted, or I hadn't decided on breeding foxes (and didn't take note), but thank you so much. Even if I managed to get to one of the infrequent US shows, there is no telling what would be exhibited.

I took breaks from forum reading when the desire to have mice at my location, that wasn't a good one for them, got to be too much.:mrgreen: I only allowed myself to join once I knew I was going to be able to have them again.

I really appreciate these photos, keep them coming!

*Edit* Ahhhh. Just found the thread explaining why current winners are not posted, if distinctive. Makes sense. Well, I am very grateful for the ones who are no longer being showed, and can be posted.*

Thank you Mousebreeder for the beautiful collection! I really like all the different angles of the mice in the Rumpwhite thread. Those look so much better then I had imagined from the description. Nicely formed mice!

I'm still trying to visualize how the winning Cream differs from the Ivory? I suppose it's a subtle difference in shade, more clear or obvious in person? Your Cream has such a wonderful face in that picture though. :) I am sighing happily over these threads. :D

The cinnamon has been added.I have some of Ruth Hollis' BIS Agouti to but I'll have to check whether she minds me sharing the image on a public forum.Like myself she finds it rather rude that people post pictures and films of animals and people without checking if the owner/exhibitor/person minds.
