Doves
Some people get confused between dove and silver mice, which is completely understandable. A dove is darker than a silver and although the standard states ‘eye pink’, a ruby eye can be said to be allied to the correct shade of dove. The standard previously required ruby eyes, which was later changed to encompass all shades of pink. Tinges of any other colour such as rust or brown should be avoided on a dove as on a blue.
Faults include light tail roots and noses, which must be guarded against by conscientious breeding. Tan vents can also be a problem for doves, and again the only solutions are outcrossing and selection.
