Specific Campbell breeders?

[CharlieB]

Hey guys I have been hunting for a couple of breeders and so far have had no luck. The ones I have found and spoken to won't have the colours in their litters that I am after. I am after a male and a female - I'm in no rush as I want them to be the best they can be. I am after a black female and a male black eyed Argente. One of them I would like to be mottled preferably the male. I have tried the few I have got details of that are linked with the NHC (Jean Tye has given me details and she wont be expecting the colours I am after when she has campbells again)

Does anyone have details of reputable breeders with good family lines? Distance wont be an issue I am happy to travel far to get the right ones. I will eventually be after an opal but I don't no what gender yet and it wont be for about a year or more, depending on when I can get the black and Argente.

I have looked on the list on here, but I cant see any Campbells - If I have missed them then I appologize. I want to make sure that they have good genes and no family history of illnesses with good temperment and of a good size.

Any advice would be great Thank you

Will you be breeding them?

I plan to yes, which is why I am being specific as to what I would like and their family history. I am not in a rush to start as I dont want to compromise health and temperament as that is the most important. I don't plan on selling them as thats not why I am doing it, I want to get specific colours and hamsters of good condition. I will get homes lined up before I have a litter - I already have a few family friends after some who I know would give them a good home.
Hope that makes sence

Yes that made sense, & I thought you were by the descriptions but thought I would ask to make sure first

I know of two NHC Campbell breeders who breed black C but I have only seen red eyed Argente's which they both breed also

Sue Our Dwarfs - Tuftyfluff Hamsters
Mel Home - Wellington Hamsters

Thank you I'm waiting for a reply from Tuftyfluff I will give Mel a go too Thank you - you are a star! I have a feeling a black eyed mottled argente will be hard to get hold of as I personally haven't seen any.

Sarah at Midnight has a litter at the moment - she's in the North near Newcastle though comes to the Northern Shows. Her details are on the Northern site though there are pup pics here:
Argente x Black Campbells

Her Pups are STUNNING!

She has red eyed Argente C & Normal C.

I've only seen pics of Black eyed Argente too. I love them. I know some NHC breeders go to Holland once or twice a year where they bring back Dwarf hams to bring new blood lines into the U.K. You would probably get one like that but would be expensive unless you know someone who is going who has contacts with people who breed them.

Here is the Houten show http://www.ter.nl/vhmevents_prj/inde...5&lang=english

I would be in heaven there!

Thank you Souffle, I will send her a message. Going to near newcastle wont be an issue, they are worth the distance As long as I can plan in advance I can get there without a problem

The cost isn't an issue I'm willing to pay more for what I want. Do you know where I could find details of the breeders in Holland if I can't find them in the UK? The red eyed wouldn't give me my desired colour If they did that would make it a lot easyer

Sorry silver only half your message came up in my email update lol!! I will have a look at the link now

That is just the show details.

I know Mel goes sometimes & Vectis if that helps at all. I have no idea how to get into contact with the actual breeders in Holland, they may even come further than that & meet at the show.
