Is there anything available on-line that goes into detail with regard to Syrian hamster standards - something that also has pictures and goes into detail about the genetics that make up each colour?
Not a lot really though. The Midland site has some good bits too. There is not really a lot around. I will copy that book I showed you if you want but it will be in B&W but it does have good genetics info though some bits are a bit out of date.
The BHA and NHC standards have slight differences.
Thank you for the link, Souffle - I'll have a proper look after Will's gone to bed

Would you really do that for me? It would be a lot of work for you so I'd happy to pay you for it - certainly for the paper and your time - it looked like a fantastic and useful book, from what I saw of it ...that is a really kind offer.
River Road Hamstery based in USA are also worth looking at if you want to know more about genetics http://hometown.aol.com/theriverrd/genetics.htm
sadly not a picture for every colour again. And PurpleKritters http://purplekatkritters.tripod.com/d/d101.html has some of the more unusual colours (non-standards). The websites you have already checked out are really the best for Standards sadly. Lots of people have plans to build a website with all the standards and non-standards genetics information and pictures but it never seems to really get there.
I've seen River Road before but not those pages - somehow I missed them! I shall use the whole thing as a tutorial (as it suggests) over the weekend. I think it will be very helpful, thanks
I'm actually having a fair bit of trouble locating a show (possibly breeding) standard female (my heart is set on BEC as I believe this to be a good starting point)....I might as well use my time wisely
Standards on-line - with pictures???
...that is a really kind offer.
