Marked

The NMC recognises marked mice in Dutch, even, broken, variegated, rumpwhite, tricolour, banded and Hereford.
Banded: These mice have a white band around the waist.
Broken: Brokens have well distributed spots or patches over the entire body, plus a nose spot including the whisker bed.
Dutch: Like the Dutch rabbit, Dutch mice have a patch on each side of the face plus a saddle.
Even: A mouse with equally balanced spots or patches.
Hereford: Named after the breed of cattle, the Hereford has a white wedge shaped marking on the head and a uniform white marking under.
Rumpwhite: Rumpwhites are mice of any standard colour with a white rump.
Tricolour: This variety requires patches of three contrasting colours on the back and sides.
Variegated: The variegated is evenly splashed over and under the body.
