morakullan´s mousery

I got my first mouse 1983 from a dear friend, Anne-Lee Kleveborn (previous Berglund): the albino doe Athena. She was a sweet and calm mouse. Sadly she had a tumour and had to be sent to sleep in the age of 1,5 year.

Morakullan´s was founded in 1989 when I had my first mouse litter, and has been a registrated breeding in the Swedish Mouse Club, SVEMUS, since 1991.

I breed

Blue, Shorthair and Longhair, English type. (Astrex mixed type)
Silver Agouti, Blue Silver Agouti and PE Blue Silver Agouti, Shorthair, English type.
Blue Burmese and Siamese Bluepoint, Shorthair, English type.
Siamese, Shorthair. English type
Fawn - aaeepp, Shorthair. English type. New, not established

Texel

Until 2007 the main variety I breed was the coat texel (reregogo). It is a combination of two coats, in fact astrex and longhair. And it´s very difficult to breed. Not because of the coat as much as I have to think about temperament, health and size. The body type on my texels where pet type.

When I started to breed English Show Mice in Shorthair my interest in breeding Texels got a bit cold. There where some problem with health and I lost many mice with good fur and temperament. With a small genebase my Texel strain was doomed to be lost.

So today (26th of September 2009), when my first Pearl are on their way, I decided to stop breeding Texels. I have been breeding Texels for 20 years! I love them. But there´s so many people in Sweden breeding Texels so the variety will not go lost. In all the Swedish Texels I can see my strain continuing...

Temperament

A calm and sweet temperament is very important for me. I´ve been working hard with understanding behavior so I can select only - in my opinion - mice with very good temperament and caracter, for breeding.

I don´t breed on mice who are hard to handle, too active or stressed, dominant too other mice, don´t like human contact and so on.

I want the bucks to live together, so I don´t breed on very dominant bucks. Also if they have a bad smell I won´t breed on them.
