It almost looks like Blue Merle on a dog! LOL

But I'm pretty sure merle mice are born that way and don't develop it, and again, i'm pretty sure thats a US gene.

Merle was found and developed in the US, but there are a few breeders on the Continent (primarily in Germany) who have or may have the gene. I don't breed merle, but from the ones I've seen at shows and online, the contrast in her fur isn't dark enough to be merle. Here is what a black merle that a friend of mine bred looks like: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/4079/p8304956.jpg (that mouse is in Germany)

Do you know Dr. Roland Fischer? He is the one with the merles in Germany (shipped them over from a friend of mine, Mike Chiodo). I can get you his contact information if you wish.
