Quick Look
The standard for even is quite open to interpretation as the size, position and number of spots isn't stated clearly. If there aren't any even mice available to start a strain, you can use mice discarded from broken breeding due to their symmetrical markings. You should look for a full nose spot, even ears (both ears pigmented), shoulder spots and a central spot at the root of the tail. Breeding in a few more spots of patches would give the ideal pattern.
