golden dom spot of some sort i'd say. Not a dwarf anyway!

Thanks Bunsey
I've not seen one like that before,I think it's very pretty!

I agree with Bunsey - a very young (probably about 4 weeks) Syrian gold dom spot, probably long haired.

The problem with Wikipedia is that so much of the information is wrong. Anyone can go in here and edit and add stuff. I try and discourage pophammy from using this as a reliable source of information for homework. Once when reading about Herry VIII suddenly we find he is a space dwarf from the planet Zorg or something. I would take a lot of the information with a large pinch of salt!

Looks like a golden dom spot - very unusual

I got four golden dom spots in my litter LOL very cute!

The female LH black tort dom spot Domino I gave to Kat from my first ever litter out of Moo ended up being mated to a 'yellow' now obviously a 'ghost yellow' who we wouldnt evan have considered these days

But the litter was all golden and cinnie dom spots with a honey and a dove too very cute! The dove tort was the only decent healthy looking one in the litter and she was 3 times the size of her siblings! She is actually still going. All the others were weedy and bizarre looking, definately petshop type hamster and short lived except the runt of the litter who it *still* going strong!

So runts can be long lived and cute! I have a photo of Cheeta somewhere before he went, i think he is the only hamster I have bred that I know where is (cept Drambuie).

Really? I am the opposite I know where most of mine are, I have to say I love knowing where my little guys end up, and being able to stay in communication and know that I am always around for advice etc. if needed.
As just one example, the runt from a previous litter of mine is due to come for a holiday to us at the end of May, as the new owner is going on her hols. I love having that continued contact, and though I dont get it with all of them, as I sell them at a petshop that gives out the pedigrees, I am lucky in that even with the petshop hams I often get to know where they are and get told how they are doing!
