Re: Anyone bred and kept a note of genetics?
What sort of experiment were you planning?
The information about which genes are recessive, dominant or sex linked can be found on the Midland Hamster Club website, and in the NHC handbook. I'm not sure that information from a single breeder would be particularly helpful in 'proving' which are dominant or recessive as that is already known - and individual litters can be variable from what is expected to what mums give you. Colours/patterns where the genetics are less well understood in the UK aren't good ones to begin breeding with and you would find it hard to source hamsters of these less well established and understood varieties (e.g. blue Syrians, patterned and red eyed robos or even black-eyed white Chinese), especially for a one off litter.
