no fixed ideas, that can come later and involve will other mousers.Just wanting to get a robust line of breeding animals in standardised colours initially.They've bred freely so far.
Merle Piebalds

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.

the merles have been mostly healthy and fertile.Numbers are climbing nicely so it should be possible to start selecting for desirable traits in the next generations.
