can anyone advise me about buying a show quality syrian

They can carry a right mix of recessive genes however a really nice pure golden should not carry any colour genes. Recessive extra colour genes can exert an influence over the golden making it maybe paler and less desirable. It would be a pure golden of excellent type, size, fur etc that people would want as this can be used to improve these points in other colours. Mating back to good pure golden through lines improves the strength of the gemes. Remember Matty it is not just colour that makes a good hamster in the judges eye. You should read the standard to see what to look for as you must consider all points and we also pay a lot of attention to something which is not marked or in the standard which is temperament.
