Instead of inbreeding I use linebreeding and have established own lines with a broad american, british, dutch and german genetic background now. ![Chilloutarea Cages](http://www.ifokus.se/ShowUserFile.aspx?BinaryId=50817f78-74ca-42d1-a863-bab7e24f6b34) What are you plans for the future? ---------------------------------- Breeding Tricolors with an apricot and red appearence, breeding piebald satin tan merles with four colours and good type.

There will be an Swedish Translation... maybe... ![Flört](http://mus.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif "Flört") ![Tungan ute](http://mus.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif "Tungan ute") ## Comment 3 Author: UlrikaD Didn´t even realize that it was in english, oops. I´ll try again: Gimme one of those!!![Kyss](http://mus.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-kiss.gif "Kyss") ## Comment 4 Author: Grodan #3 Yeah, they are GORGEOUS (never mind spelling on that one) ## Comment 5 Author: UlrikaD #4 But you spelled it right. Never seen anything like it. Isn´t it time for you to take a trip to Germany and bring home a bunch? I´ll wait by the ferry for you!![Skrattande](http://mus.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif "Skrattande") ## Comment 6 Author: Grodan #5 They were only to be seen in USA until Roland got them to Germany, I think. There will be more about these Tricolor later on. Not here. ## Comment 7 Author: Littlem Really beautiful mices!!  I would love to have a group of those =) ## Comment 8 Author: StillaSinnet #6 In fact, it's the opposit. Roland made the tricolors and ship them to USA, Jack Garcia and Roland are very good friends. There is some tricolors in GB too but fare away from the quality Roland got. Dear Grodan, maybe we should discuste the tricolors in another tread just to make everyone aware of what they can cost the swedish breedingstock if we aren't careful and well known enough. I have to realise they areNOT for newbies. ## Comment 9 Author: MP160 oh my freakin' god, ADORABLE PICS!!!! ![Kyss](http://mus.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-kiss.gif "Kyss")![Kyss](http://mus.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-kiss.gif "Kyss")![Kyss](http://mus.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-kiss.gif "Kyss") ## Comment 10 Author: UlrikaD #8 I, personally wouldn´t breed them, I would just sit and admire them all day long. ## Comment 11 Author: Grodan #8 I dont know anything about them, accept they are transgenic and these are c-lokus variants. I would love to get more information about them. But as I´ve seen on internet, over the years, the information is that they are "made in America"... ![Flört](http://mus.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif "Flört") #9 + #10 **Eye Candy!** ## Comment 12 Author: reverse MERLE?!! ![Skrattande](http://mus.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif "Skrattande") ## Comment 13 Author: Grodan Hello reverse. Well, we dont know more than you about **MERLE!!!** Other than it´s an awesome, fantastic and gorgeous variety. Ok, I know it´s from America. But nothing else... Maybe you can google around and come with some news, info and facts about it (in a new thread in Swedish - coz no english members are here anymore anyway)??? pliiiiizzzzzz ## Comment 14 Author: reverse My dog is blue merle, so I should breed merle fancy mice. ;P ## Comment 15 Author: enbartmalin Preeetyyyy...... ## Comment 16 Author: Nikka ååh, men varför är det ingen som satsar på sånna där färger här i sverige? ^^ ÄLSKAR MERLE!! ## Comment 17 Author: StillaSinnet Jooorå, jag har tagit in en hel del från Roland. Någon Merle hade han inte till salu tyvärr...annars hade det också funnits ![Flört](http://mus.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif "Flört") ## Comment 18 Author: Nikka **#17** Men åh, då måste jag kontakta honom när jag ska skaffa möss sen! (får inte för min syster fötillfället) Var bor han och var det komplicerat att ta in möss därifrån? ## Comment 19 Author: StillaSinnet han bor i Tyskland. Du får ta en tripp dit, det gjorde jag :) 5 möss kan du föra in utan importtillstånd. ## Comment 20 Author: Nikka #19 Okej, tack för svaret! :D ## Comment 21 Author: Grodan #16 Svenskar är överlag inte alltför förtjusta i möss och hur de luktar så det är ovanligt med musuppfödare som seriöst satsar på en variant i många många år. Det finns en handfull sådana personer i Sverige... ## Comment 22 Author: reverse Well, I would love to breed merle. =) ## Comment 23 Author: Alana82 Jag vet att det är en gammal tråd men... ingen som ska till Tyskland och köpa möss? vill ha Merle så det nästan gör ont 😍 ## Comment 24 Author: MissanTissan Den är från 2010. Men är väldigt sugen på några Merles själv! ## Comment 25 Author: Tsunamis Har hört att Roland slutat med möss. Finns Merle i Holland däremot och det är ju lite närmare. ## Comment 26 Author: kent merle finns redan i sverige ;) ## Comment 27 Author: reverse #26 Var då?? 😍 ## Comment 28 Author: Alana82 #26 säger som #27, Vars då? 😮 ## Comment 29 Author: Velinga1984 #27 & 28 Hos Kent skulle jag tro, då han tagit in tidigare :) ## Comment 30 Author: reverse #26 Kommer du ha till salu någon gång i sådana fall, kent? 😊
