Andover Show - 14th June

ELC - Yes that's my baby!!! Ooooh my first forum relation!!! It's funny - Ed suggested Minx but I had a hamster called Minx when I was younger who was a similar colouring so didn't want to call her that!!

Apparently Expresso was down as a black dom spot but now has been reclassified as tort and white so Pete told me she could be a tort and to look out for a yellow patch.
Is sepia the same as silver grey btw?

I hope she isn't a bar chewer - just bought her an IMAC so she had the same as Noodles Maybe I'll hold off on ordering the extension and see if she needs a Gabber instead.

I'm really sorry Naomi - I hope you don't mind that I have her? I just held her and when she cleaned herself on my hand - I fell in love!!

Sepia is basically silver grey but with a brownish tinge, the flashes and ticking tend to be brown rather than black. Having said that, the colour of your girl has cleared a lot since I saw her at Blenheim (I have a silver grey dom spot from the same litter) and she now looks much more silver grey than the silver sepia she was then.
Her dad was one of my boys!!

Silver Rod (her Dad) is GORGEOUS!!! I fell in love with him at Blenheim and wanted to steal him away but Chris was having none of it. And he's a real little character too, isn't he? That's why I called my girl Silver Minx - because I think she's taking after her daddy in the naughty stakes!

Mollz - If it was you and your mum then you had the camera crew over your shoulder so it was definately a bad time!

BVH - you were sitting writing out your cards so I wouldn't have said anything unless I thought I could help out!

ELC - WOW! I've just seen your results! Well done to you and your hams.

Ah, yep that was probably us and I can see why you thought it would be a bad time! I was wearing a blue/purple top with jeans and we were with the hamsters while they were being judged.

Well, we'll try and find each other next time then

Thanks BVH and ELC - to my untrained eye, she doesn't look like she has much of a browny tinge and her lines look very black indeed (which is a shame as we were discussing calling her Mocha due to her coffee ancestors and that would have fitted better if she was browny!)

I saw she had a lot of BV in her!
