Blue silver agouti är också en väldigt fin färg =) Har aldrig sett den förut! ## Comment 11 Author: kirsty I've never seen a mouse that colour, not even heard of one in the UK, he's stunning! ## Comment 12 Author: Anett Lindbom Åhh vilken gullig, ser ut som ett litet gosedjur,=) ## Comment 13 Author: Grodan #11 I know the colour is called Squirell also. Genetics=A-c(ch)c(ch)dd ## Comment 14 Author: kirsty Wish I understood genetics! ## Comment 15 Author: Grodan You can learn! One good website to read about different varieties and genetics is The Finnish Mouse Clubs Breeding Pages, [here is a link](http://www.hiiret.fi/eng/breeding/ "http://www.hiiret.fi/eng/breeding/"). ## Comment 16 Author: Grodan I can explain very simple what a Blue Silver Agouti is, and maybe you will understand. It´s an Agouti with two genes for Blue and two genes for chinchilla. Or we can say it´s a Blue Agouti with two chinchilla-genes! ![Skrattande](../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif) The chinchilla-gene "takes" away all the redness from fur so it will lack of all red colour. That´s why it doesn´t look so much like an Agouti. The two Blue genes also fades the colour. An Agouti Tan with two chinchilla-genes is called Chinchilla! The colour of body is in black and white and on stomach the Tan is shown as Fox (White) because the Chinchilla-gene cannot allow any redness to show! This colour is a chinchilla that is not Tan and got two blue genes that gives it the blue tone... ![](../ShowFile.aspx?BinaryId=33e2e33b-b8ec-4676-bde9-401d18271c8b&Filename=bluesilveragouti.png) A = Agouti/Ticked (dominant gene) \- = cannot say if A or a (non-agouti) c(ch) = the chinchillagene (recessive, needs to be in pair to show colour) d= the blue gene (recessive, needs to be in pair to show colour) ## Comment 17 Author: kirsty Oh wow, that's so interesting! That must take many generations to produce, was it planned or a nice accident? :-) I think I'll find some books about mouse genetics, one day I would love to be a breeder. ## Comment 18 Author: Grodan Hope it wasn´t too hard to understand. It´s two problem: language and explaning in an easy way... ![Skrattande](../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif) There´s a couple of books on the net... Well Blue Silver Agouti and also a pinkeyed variety of the colour is one of my goal. This buck wasn´t planed... not to be born in Poland anyway... Natalia, Dynamimaus breeding, wanted Silver Agouti so she got a pregnant doe from me... She got lucky and got Silver Agouti in the litter and also Blue Silver Agouti... ## Comment 19 Author: kirsty Is silver agouti the same as chinchilla in the UK? ## Comment 20 Author: Vattnadal Chinchilla is fox, silver agouti is not.  Silver agouti is an agouti bleaced whith cc. Chinchilla is the same, but the agouti is tan, bleached whith cc. ## Comment 21 Author: kirsty I see! Thanks for explaining :-) ## Comment 22 Author: Yosha Very beautiful! I love the shadings that are caused by the dark undercoat and the agouti. So Henry's silveragouti carried blue?!? ## Comment 23 Author: Grodan #22 Yes, some of them did! ![Skrattande](../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif) He also breed Blue Agouti and started up with Silver Agouti on them.
