The picture above is of one of my sheepy/fuzzy mice she has a good example of a band it is very straight and clean cut and encircles the whole body. Her band should be slightly lower towards her tail end a bit more, also banded mice should not have white any where else on their body apart from the band, as you can she in the pic she has white markings on her face and neck so she is missmarked.
