Even Marked

The even mouse is genetically the same as the broken, but with a different placement of spots. Instead of being arranged randomly, the spots must be arranged in an even pattern (usually in symmetrical pairs). Evens are not usually bred for specifically, but appear in litters by chance when breeding brokens. It has been said that specifically breeding for evens is difficult as they have a more exacting standard than the broken – there is more rigidity about where the spots have to be placed.

Comments about the broken also apply to the even where outcrossing and selection is concerned.
