Bands for shows

[Bourne Valley Hams]

Roans are popular too. This weekend I had three youngsters come to choose hamsters (not all together). I had roans, bands and plains available. One chose a banded, one a roan and the third a plain cream - so I guess thats about even!!

cool, that's good then. i have saved on my computer a pic of one of your sable roans entitled "show winning roan" so i can study it i'll attach it...

I think with the not selling thing, i was thinking that i would rather (much rather) sell hams to people on here than random public members and people on here would usually want a show ham. We'll see anyway. My first litter won't be banded. If i get really upset at selling them, i'll just have to not breed again. this one will be a test of my emotional stability i guess

p.s. how is Bunsey's band? (avatar and sig) out of curiosity.

As promised, here is Zubrovka - all growed up, well nearly growed up!!
Not a perfect band, and a little too wide, but pretty damned good!!

Awww!!! What a beauty BVH!

I'm not even into bands and I would have had her off you when I saw that litter Sue! Mind you, I felt that about most of the pups you showed off!

My pet shop ham Manny has a nice band (slightly narrow I think and with a slight bleeding into the band at one point) and he has a lovely face too, but thats the only nice thing (in a show sense) about him...

Here he is - and as you will see - he is a long haired ham on a wheel - the thing is we bought him at 6 weeks we were told, and he hasnt grown at all since then! Bless.





Oh and yup - I know I should have resized the photos - I just dont have the will!!

i dont like them as a unbanded self colour or an agouti dom spot/roan etc appears more natural to my eyes bandeds just have to clean lines (well a good one)if you know what i mean

yes, i totally understand that. I prefer the rubbishy bands by far. The perfect bands can look a bit odd, like someone painted them on!
