Hehe! Your mouse has a ' :| ' face on it's side :lol: :love1

 

[jessierose2006]

The "tri" is broken agouti brindle, and the other one looks broken satin mock chocolate.

 

[jessierose2006]

wow ive gotten a couple different answers on her....

Poor colored dove
mock chocolate
possible lilac

Oh okay. The photos make it look like a -very- poorly coloured dove.
And yes, the 'tri' is a piebald brindle, not a broken brindle. Piebald refers to the white spotting, broken is a specific pattern of spotting, not present on your mouse.

Your first mouse would be piebald black, although, he could count as a poor example of a broken marked mouse.

sorry i keep using rabbit terminology "Broken = Piebald" in rabbits and cavies. :sorry

so it is a poor colored dove?

 

[Rhasputin]

I believe it is. A very poor dove (as far as show standards go).
Oh, and yes, she's satin.

Here's some helpful pictures for broken, and even marked mice: http://thefunmouse.com/varieties/illustrations.cfm
