Q Can you tell me the color? Is this a show type? The ears are clear, it is darker at the tip of the snout (but not as dark as the Siamese). The rest of the body is the same with no dark spots, the tail is longer than normal and it is dark. The eyes are black.

It’s a girl of about three months, born of two mice bought from a breeder in a trade show here in Italy (do not know his name).

 
A Looking on the monitors here, it is really hard to tell in the photos with the lighting on the mouse, but the ears and nose looks darker like it is some type of Siamese but as far as the color, I can’t tell for sure, it looks almost ticked like a type of agouti. If the tail is dark, that sounds like some kind of Siamese color as light colors like Ivory, Cream, or Beige would have a light colored tail. It could be a Himalayan of some sort and that is why the nose isn’t very dark or she is a young Agouti point Siamese something.

The body is longer like a show-type mouse would have. The head looks long and narrow, eye and ear size looks good.
