Hello, If you really want to show and compete and evetnually win you cant really introduce pet line mice into your stock. Some show varieties have been bred for a hundred years to get to the point they are now so its probably something you wouldnt be able to achieve in your life time. However if you want to breed large typy pet mice then introducing show line mice into those lines will work really well.

Maybe PEW?

I started with Rump whites which I've found really difficult but I've made some progress and been able to show a bit although I started breeding blue and blacks recently and have had more success at shows than I have yet to have with the rump whites. Selfs are easier but marked are more rewarding, it depends what you want out of showing. I would recommend picking a variety which you would enjoy seeing every day for the forseeable future.

True, it is down to a lot of luck at the beginning and good decisions in selecting from the litters.
