[Vectis Hamstery]

I had a nice day at the Lymm show. It was a long day though, leaving at 5.30am and getting home again at 9.30pm. Two of the Kittiden winter white litter went to their new homes with other exhibitor/breeders as did one of the Dobly II duprasi pups. I also acquired three new hammies: one SH golden Syrian female called Alabaster, one sapphire WW male called Petrel and one argente Campbell female called Cornelia.

Many of my hams are too young or too old for showing well so I was pleased with my results. I entered three other sapphire winter whites from the Kittiden litter who I'm not keeping (two were the two who went to new homes at the end of the show, and one is going to his new home next weekend).

Julius - 2nd argente Campbell, 2nd breeder, 4th grand challenge
Kittiden boy - 2nd sapphire WW
Callie - 1st patterned/DS/BEW Chinese, 4th breeder (she was 6th in the show)
Helen - 2nd patterned/DS/BEW Chinese
Mer - 3rd patterned/DS/BEW Chinese (she's only recently been split from her Adgemer litter so I'm please with her first show outing)
