Quick Look

Fawn is genetically a pink-eyed red and it suffers from the same faults. A good fawn mouse is only slightly lighter than red, as the effect of the pink eyes isn't that strong on red background. Fawn to fawn is the best mating, good outcrosses being champagne tan (or champagne, if tan isn't available). This shouldn't be used too often or top colour will suffer, becoming too pale. Light colour can be improved with mating to a red, which produces only reds but when mated back to a fawn should give fawns, too. Crossing to a good red can be used to breed out sootiness.
