What is he????
My new mouse, a buck whom I've named SnS (for Sweet and Shiny), from The Animal Exchange pet store. There were many RY and four or so RY merles, believe it or not. He was the only satin, the only male, and the only one with a kind of dark tinge. I think I am beginning to see stripes on his nose. He is very young. He is also getting fat. I believe he is a brindle, but a brindle what? Merle? c^ch/* diluted A^vy pied merle? c^ch/* diluted A^vy tricolor? He's got a big white spot on his belly. Suggestions welcome!
He is from the same store Punkin came from (the sweet and handsome Punkin!), who was a pied A^vy brindle merle. If he's got the same genes as Punkin, I'd love to breed more Punkins! If he's a tri, from his shade he'd be c^ch/*, I think. I like the way he looks!
Real orange on his back leg:
Pied on his belly:

I am going to say very tentatively that he looks splashed to me.
Like what my black splashes would look like if they were brindled instead.
But that's about all I can say for sure.
Sorry that wasn't too helpful, he's adorable btw.

Re: What is he????
So, one vote for splashed. He is either splashed or merle. It's hard to tell by looking because he's satin. I have never seen a splashed mouse at The Animal Exchange, who gets its mice all from the same breeder, but there are always merles there. I am leaning towards merle, but he does look splashed!
Any other opinions?

I don't suppose it would be possible to ask the breeder?

Re: What is he????
The pet store owner has, for all the years I have known her, been very protective of the identity of her breeder.
Re: What is he????
How very odd. Well, if you know they have merle, and you've never seen splashed there before, it seems more likely that it's just a merle that looks splashed. Merle seems really variable in how it looks, from roanish merles to blotchier merles, so a splashy merle seems reasonable.

Re: What is he????
He has big, black, bright eyes like a c-dilute, however I notice that his really orange color is mostly below his water line, which makes me think he might be a sooty RY. I am tending towards merle, as I have put my specs on and looked at him, but again, with the satin fur it is hard to tell.
Re: What is he????
The longer I look at him, the more I think he is c-dilute brindle AND merle. He is literally a satin brindle merle tricolor, I think, and a poor angora, at that! Rhasputin, I'd love you to take a look at him when he's here and get your opinion.
