The little b & w on the right looks like it has polka dots.

 

[windyhill]

Ive been calling that one Dot,lol

 

[zoocrewmice]

Dude. You MUST put that little dotty broken black in a tiny envelope, give it to a pigeon, and have the pigeon fly it to me. And then I will contemplate eating it out of cuteness. Then I will decide against eating it and instead keep it all for me with some of my other brokens and drool over it every day. :lol:

Welcome back Windyhill

Dot is a halfway good looking even marked mouse~!

Dot is a halfway good looking even marked mouse~!

How do you reckon?

I think Dot is a good name. I know another mouse named Dot.

How do you reckon?

Oh wait, I think I mean broken. Doh.

Well, the positions, and size, and shape of the spots are nice. The butt spot is a turn-off as far as standards go, but as far as shape, and how the rest of the spots are positioned, they're very appealing.
It's even got one black ear, which is nice.

The ECMA's standards say this:

Broken- Broken marked mice may be shown in any recognized color. They have as many colored spots or patches as possible on a white background, even in size, sharply defined, and distributed irregularly all over the body to create a pattern that is pleasing to the eye. A face patch and opposite ear patch are strongly desired. Rump patches should be halved or minimal.

(Quoted with permission.)

I quote the ECMA because it seems mid-way in between the AFRMA's and the NMCs in what it requires on a broken mouse. The spots, to me, look poorly defined (in other words, not "sharp") and there is not only a missing face patch and opposite ear patch, but also the rump is way too heavily colored.

Not to say she isn't an adorable and unique (and cute) mouse. She is and if I had her I'd probably keep her.

 

[Rhasputin]

She is adorable, indeed.

 

[GypsyTails]

Hey, I have a mouse named Dot! :lol: She's a card!

[GypsyTails]

Yes, indeed!
