Just enquiring about how I should go about breeding plans.
It has become apparent to me that even the best pedigreed mice in Australia seem to be a bit of a genetic rainbow.
It's not unusual that people use "Agouti siamese", "Blue Burmese" or cross colours over making it impossible to predict the outcome of any litter.
It appears as though some breeders seem to be only thinking of the next generation and not of their program as a whole.
It is very fustrating for me when I have no idea what my mice could be carrying.
Ultimately I'd like an entire litter of mice that is one shade and one shade only, no "oddballs" - a genetically pure line.
Only when I achieve this will I be able to focus on reducing common faults.
So my question is what's the best way of going about this?
