I have been caught up short and have to admit that I was wrong. I honestly thought that the mousie shown in the Finnish Club pages as a tricolor, with fawn, black, and white patches, was the correct and only combination to be designated as tricolour. I still think it makes sense to delineate as to the difference between that sort of calico-type mousie and the ones like those that I have. Doesn't change anything except now I will not call my little weirdos tri transgenic but tricolor transgenics.
I still don't agree about the genetic basis for how tricolours are created. And that's OK; we don't need to agree as long as we communicate civilly and don't hijack (or himoustess) somebody else's thread. On behalf of myself and my shadow, I apologize.
I note that there seems to be no mention of a splashed gene is Finnmouse's pages. I would like to see some better information on the subject of splashed mousies.
