Difference between a teddy bear and a fancy

[Miiiukz]

Me and my friend were looking at a pet shop today,we were mainly looking at the hamsters and saw Fancy hamsters, short haired, and teddy bears. What’s the difference between the 3? The tempers? The breed? Please tell me below! I wanna get one of those 3 but need to know the difference. Thanks!

There is no difference in that they are all Syrian hamsters and the temperament will all depend on their lines and upbringing.
Pet shops name them to make them more attractive to buyers. Fancy hamsters are normally patterned animals like Banded or dominant spot. Short haired are the normal regular type and come in a wide range of colours and Teddy bear are Long haired syrians which are not uncommon.
They are all the same species just with different coat lengths and colours and patterns.
