Comments - This one was very hard to judge because of the coat.  Shoulders may be a bit narrow.  Size may be a bit short.  Coat length is better than most in the class but should still be longer.

Fur - 8

Size - 9-

Condition - 9

Eyes/ears - 4

Total - 47-

Place - Entered in wrong class.  Should be in short-haired class

Comments - Type is the key weakness in this hamster.  His head is long and narrow, and the body is not broad and cobby.  In the front-facing photo, one can see that the distance between the ears is much less than the distance between an imaginary line between the ears to the nose.  Ideally these lengths would be equal.
