Quick Look

Long Hair Satin is a charming breed, combining the sheen of a satin and the fluffiness of a long hair. LHS mice often look more pleasing to the eye than “regular” LHs, as the coat looks exceptionally silky due to the satinization effect. Of course, satin does not have any effect at all on the length of the coat, so the breeder has to tackle that particular problem all the same.

Genetic Background

Long Hair Satin mice have:

- go/go (or go^Y/*), making them long hair instead of short hair and
- sa/sa, making them satin instead of non-satin.
