The three pied merle girlies have little k-factors and therefore show little white, a typical sign for little k-factors are the headspots.
In Merle this is wanted (at least by me ;-), since Merle Piebalds with many k-factors are too light very often.
The darkest girl is the best, they should have equal amounts of black & grey & white.

The type of recessive Merle Piebalds needs a lot of improvement, but this is what makes breeding exiting for me.

Kind regards, Roland

On another note, I'm surprised the gene hasnt spread in Germany that much. Rolan has sold Merle mice before as far as I know?

(hi Roland!)

Roland does sell mice.
Problem is 98% of mice breeders probably aren't able to recreate a full thriving stock of meeces from only a trio or two though

If I didn't have my brokens and herefords already I'd jump on the opportunity of breeding merle.

Beautiful. I like how the darkest mouse has a little diamond on her head.

This is insane, can't believe we don't have these mice here. We must be able to recreate them somehow !

I have a nice collaboration with some of the best breeders from NL and UK who got about 50 of my mice for free (!) just recently.
Good luck!

Well, if we get any of them here in the UK, I will bloody walk to the other end of the country if I have to, just to buy 2 off them if it is possible, and if someone was willing to share with me! I have never seen anything so beautiful in all my life!
Ich spreche Deutch, aber nicht so gut. Ihre Merle Mäuse sind sehr schön. Sie sehr viel Glück!

Ihr Deutsch ist sehr gut und viel besser als mein Englisch.
Ich wünsche einen schönen Sonntag!

after an uneventful quarantine,the mice kindly supplied by Roland have mostly littered or are about to.They have all been outcrossed so there will be no actual merle in the litters.These will be the foundations

there's nothing worth seeing yet.They are all carriers and visually just like any other mixed bag of mice.
