Courtesy of Mr Dave Safe, these are the mice I have the privilege of using as my foundation stock:

A very handsome cinnamon buck




And two gorgeous agouti does




Very very happy with these three, and so excited to be getting started with exhibition breeding!

This actually IS something I'm feeling the pressure from! :? I'll only know how I'm doing once I've been breeding for a while though, fingers crossed :p

well I'm thrilled at all the new members,glad to have people that make the effort to participate,win or lose it's great to have such enthusiasm.
I'm glad you feel the pressure, it means you are serious about competing. Too many newbies just like all the pretty colours. Don't stress too much though, follow the advice Dave gave you with support from others and you'll be fine. I wish you all success with your new stock. Plenty of new fanciers have won top awards in a short time.
I think I'll feel less pressure after I've bred a couple of generations. The trio I have now are all Dave's work, and in my mind so are the mice from these first litters because I've had no active involvement in the breeding yet, I'm just breeding what I've been supplied with - it feels like I'm in someone elses house and I don't want to mess it up :? Once those are of breeding age, then the real work starts and the mice will be the results of my selections; my mice :)
Hi, I'm an image researcher working on a film project that involves epigenetics and agouti mice. Some of the pictures you've posted here are exactly what I'm looking for! Can you email me if you'd consider allowing us to use some of your pictures and give you credit? Please email me off-list at [email protected] Thank you! Hope to hear from you soon!
