Comments - Has the best type in the class. Note the broad skull and
shoulders and cobbiness/roundness of his body. His head is also well set into the body as required by the standard.

Comments – This female is one of the better ones to see the
cobbiness/roundness required by the standard. You can see the breadth of her
body in the top two photos, and although her head could be larger in
proportion to her body, she is one of the better examples of breadth in her
body and skull that we have entered in the show. Note the difference between
her and the last entry who looked pregnant. This one has the broadness
through her body including her head and shoulders although she may be about as
large around the hips as the above hamster (#146). Her markings are strong.
She may be a bit out of her prime, but this is a nice animal and would be an
asset to most any breeding program.

Comments – This female is the best example of a broad and cobby body. Look at the width of her body and head. Look how far apart her ears are. This female has enough of a strength there to be an asset to almost any breeding program. Her face is short. She could have a bit more bluntness to the nose, but this is a very nice typed hamster. The lighter ring around her nose is most likely due to chewing on the bars. Her band is about the right width,
and the margins are roughly parallel It’s not a perfect band with a cream spot in the middle and a little unevenness in the margins, but it’s very good for a band.
