This little girl was supposed to be chocolate, but I'm not sure...?

Another shot

Quite strange..another picture might help.

It looks like it has a darker line down the back which can be an effect of poor distribution of ticking which might mean it is a poor cinnamon.....also it looks a bit like a chocolate sable which Daisy had crop up a while ago.

It's not chocolate. It does look a bit like a poor sable but for that you'd need dominant yellow (red or fawn) and I don't think that the US/Canada has that except in the hands of a couple of breeders who imported from the UK and as far as I'm aware have not let any of the babies go yet.

Whats the broken in the second photo, isnt that a fawn?

 

[Cait]

I did wonder, but I was previously assured by show breeders in the US that the gene wasn't available there. It could be a PE recessive yellow? Do you know what the genes involved are, Sputnik?

I'm not sure of any of the genes involved, these are from a fish breeder who told us they now breed mice too. I won't be buying from them again though.

I'll try to get some better pics of her.
