Varieties Bred by EVO

Here at EVO we specialize in several varieties of rat.  Unlike dogs that are identified by Breeds, rats are identified by variety, which is the combination of genes that are expressed (visible).  We do not breed every variety of rat, or every color or coat type, we breed the varieties that we find visually appealing to us, or that we enjoy the challenge of producing. Some varieties may be combined, such as Silvermane and Harley, or Harley and Downunder. Most of the varieties we breed come in both Dwarf and Standard sizes.
​
All our varieties are line bred, and each line has an identifying name assigned by us.

Coat Types

Werewolf

Werewolf Rat
Black Werewolf
Lykoi Line
While we shouldn't pick favorites, Werewolf have certainly taken our hearts.  We have been working with this truly unique gene since 2018, We have a Blog Post giving more information here. Thank you to DEMOcrattery in Chicago for giving us this amazing gene.
​

Harley​

Harley Rat
Seal-Point Siamese Harley
Crown Line
​Harley (Longhaired) has been one of our longest bred lines, est. in 2015 with stock from Atlantis Rattery. Sweet King George II aka Georgie 2.0 was our very first Harley, you can read about him here, and the background of the Harley gene here. ​

Silvermane

Silvermane Rat
Black Silvermane
Chroma Line
Our original Silvermane line was acquired in 2015 and was bred for many generations, until 2018 when our focus shifted to Werewolf.  Sadly we inadvertently lost our line, but Ratnarok Rattery was kind enough to replace the gene in early 2019, and we are thrilled with the type and temperament they produce.
​

Recessive Hairless

Hairless Rat
Recessive Hairless Dwarf
​Stripped Line
Our recessive hairless started with a Hairless Dwarf purchased in 2015. We are trying to save the last two remaining hairless.  Thanks to Ratnarok Rattery, who provided a pair of Black Eyed Siamese Hairless for backup.

Markings

DownUnder

Downunder Rat
DownUnder
Australis Line
​DownUnder is where markings are 'mirrored' on the rats belly, so a hooded rat, which normally has a white belly, will have a stripe, and a varigated would have spots.  We lost our original DU line during the Seoul Shutdown of 2017.  Again, Ratnarok Rattery to the rescue with a sweet Doe that has given us some gorgeous babies.

Whiteside

Cinnamon Whiteside Rat
Cinnamon Whiteside
Ensemble Line
​
Whiteside marking is a band of white across the belly, extending half-way up both sides.  The lines should be clean and have a squared appearance.  The rat pictured has a fault with a break across the shoulders.  We are working on correcting that. When viewing the underside the rat should appear to be wearing a crop top and PANTS.

C-Locus

Black Eyed Siamese & Burmese​

Siamese Rat
Black Eyed Siamese
Hollywood Line
With lineage back to Georgie 2.0 and a beautiful Black Eyed Siamese from Atlantis Rattery, we have developed a stunning line of BE Siamese and Burmese with full points (self), big expressive eyes, and sweet temperaments.
​

Marten

Marten Rat, Red Eyed Devil
Red Eyed Black Marten
Element Line
Originating from Europe where they are referred to as 'Red Eyed Devils', our Martens with red eyes that almost glow from within, were imported by Atlantis Rattery.  We breed Red Eyed Black, and Black Eyed Silver Agouti.

Colors

Pearl & Merle

Pearl Rat
Pearl
​Couture Line
Along with Werewolf, DEMOcrattery was generous enough to give us starting stock for a pearl line. Truly beautiful rats, with dimensional coats.  While we have not had merle pop up in our lines for some time, it is a variety that we are hoping to secure in the near future.
​

Agouti & Fawn

Fawn Rat
Velveteen Silver Fawn
​Galaxy Line
Agouti rats are far from borning! Our agouti have been combined with Mink to produce Cinnamon, with Ruby Eye Dilute to produce Fawn, and Pink Eye Dilute to produce Silver Fawn - add velveteen for soft wavy curls that show off the banded coat hairs for a truly beautiful rat.

Black & Blue

Blue Rat
American Blue
Sinistral Line
​A good self black is a must-have in any rattery.  Breeders use self black to breed out white markings on Siamese rats where it is a fault. Combining Russian and American Blue, and Mink, you can produce some pretty color variations. 
​

Dwarf Rats

While we have specific lines for our varieties, we don't have one for Dwarf.  We breed our existing varieties in both Dwarf and Standard Sizes, so they will be named for the line they belong to, e.g., Lykoi if Dwarf Werewolf, Crown if Dwarf Harley.
To find out more about Dwarf Rats check out our blog post that explains more about the gene.
