| Genetics: | Homozygous for an h-locus allele causing extensive white spotting, for example He/He or hn/hn. This marking is the same genetically as Black Eyed White, but with modifiers to allow more colour. Because of the extra colour this variety is not prone to epilepsy or deafness in the same way BEW rats are. |
| Description: | Top colour not to extend past the ears and to follow the line of the lower jaw bone, it should not extend under the chin. A white blaze or spot on the face, and the rest of the body white. Colour to conform to a recognised colour variety. White area should be pure and devoid of yellowish tinge or staining. |
| Status: | This marking is standardised in all rat clubs with the name Capped |
