After taking a needed break from breeding I have paired up three pairs of Hamsters, but so far the third gal hasn't been in heat however it is only day 2 of her testing. I have two female keeper pups from my own breedings,and one from a breeder who has lovely temperament hamsters with nice longevity.
First pair is My Homo Polywhite Dominant Spot Yellow keeper from my C-16 litter named Caleb to Godiva who is not my breeding but is a Satin Hetero Silver Grey Tort. The plan is for a nice patterned Sg Tort or a satin silver Pearl. This mating also will see if Godiva gained the black gene. Caleb carries Rust, and Black, but Godiva doesn't carry Rust so this litter will be focused on improving my Yellow lines with added outcross lines. Both parents are super friendly and of a fair size. They should produce excellent pets.

Second pair is my newest addition to ST's whose name is Elkin. Elkin was sort of a mystery pup that came about when a friend gave me a lovely and very interesting color Hamster. Through chatting with a breeder over seas it has been determined Elkin is either dd Dilute Chocolate, or Homo Extreme Dilute Chocolate . Elkin is the prettiest color I have seen of a dilute. Though it is very hard to see in Photos he has a perfect ring of Chocolate fur all the way around his nose, and his eyes are red do to flash and the dd gene. Elkin was bred to Emuna who is a Huge girl from the C-16 litter. Emuna is an EE Black Tort band carrying Rust, She goes back to ED lines but it is unsure if she carries for it or not. The plans are to find out which dilute Elkin is for sure. Emuna is also Het Polywhite. I will be keeping a pup only if there is a very nice Chocolate Tort, or Chocolate Yellow male. Also still waiting for my Chocolate Tort Band which is a possible with this litter.

The third and final pairing is Benjamin who is still unknown if he is a very browned out Sable or what his breeder claims he is which is a Dd Umbrous Melanistic Yellow carrying Rust. Benjamin's only other litter was not helpful in figuring which he is as there was only 2 pups born which one is a Solid black male and the other is a solid Umbrous Ee Black Tort who LOOKS a very strange sable having only one eye ring and odd brown like tort patches. Benjamin's mate is a Homo Polywhite EE Black Tort LH. Her name is Jania. Jania carries Rust and is large like her wonderful Dam ERH's Ahave of ST's.
Jania so far has not come in heat but I am sure she will soon. Benjamin is almost 2 years old so this may be his final litter. Being Jania will be 8 months old on the 23rd if not bred she will not be used as the risk is too high for her to have issues.
This is Jania just this week. She is so big she almost can't fit in my hand LOL

Here is old man Benjamin who I feel looks very good for a 20 month old Man Ham.

As you can see he doesn't exactly fit the coloring of a sable as he lacks eye rings.
