All people mean is that it is recommended to know where a hamster comes from, a breeder (such as Souffle or LisaB) will have (at least, usually) a 5 generation pedigree, so they'll know if a line of hamsters is particularly prone to tumours, has any genetic issues, and if it does they won't breed with it.
When breeding hamsters you should know exactly the genes your hamsters carry, and the colour combinations that they will make (some colours are recommended not to be bred together)
This site is a good place to start off with when looking at genetics
Genetics and Inheritance
The reason that people get very upset about people breeding from unknown animals is that you bring these hamsters into the world, but any genetic malformations, or suchlike, has to be lived with by the hamster.
Hope all the pups are healthy

Re: Female Syrian hamster in heat
I wish mummy hamster the best with her litter and I do hope all goes well.
As you've found, breeding is not taken lightly on this forum. Those who do breed, do it for show and to produce lines with improved standard. Though we do love to help with newbies as its important, but please understand why their may be criticism.
Fortunately it sounds like you have compatible female and male colourations, though the genetics can't be determined without a hamsters pedigree. Not only is it important to know that its not a dangerous mating, but also to know whether desirable colours will be produced.
