Probably has better markings than Quigley!

There is sometimes a Best in Show for the Pet Class which is separate from the Best In Show of the Main Classes and yes, for a hamster to win Best in Show they will need to be not only the top scoring hamster in their straight class but also the top scoring hamster for the entire Syrian or Dwarf Section.
You do occasionally get a really nice hamster from a pet shop and providing they appear as standards require, there's no reason why they shouldn't do well in shows.
