Other names: Mottled
Genetics: Similar to variegated, but with modifiers to break up the hood. This name is also used as a "catch-all" term in the US for any rat with a couple of spots of colour on it that does not fit another category.
Description: Markings will be similar to the Variegated mice with color splashes/spots on a white background, and free from any solid clear-cut markings. The splashes should be numerous and ragged in outline, but approximately equal in size, and well distributed over the entire body. (afrma)
Status: This marking is not recognised in the UK. It is recognised in some US rat clubs with the name Dalmatian
