What breed??

hi i was wondering if anybody new the breed of a hamster it is mostly white white with yellowish patches and has fury fingers like the grinch i say and it is a dwarf???
Answers:
this is difficult because hamsters have been bred into so many wonderful colours and patterns. If its a slightly larger than average hamster it could well be a syrian ( teddybear) hamster. The list of colours they come in is endless. The most common being ginger with a white band or softer markings round the middle, but they can be grey, black, white, spotted, stripey, log haired, albino. The list is endless.
Why not buy a detailed hamster book or google hamster breeds on the internet and see if you can see anything simular to what your thinking of. good luck.
Maybe Russian.
if it is a dwarf it may be russian/chinese...but those are mostly dark grey/blue and white i think.
most hamsters have fur/light fur on the top of their paws, like some people have hairy hands!
if it resembles asmall mouse then it is a winter white. they are a bit rattier than the others. or it is a russian soo look up dwarf pix on google and compare lol

it could either be:
russian dwarf
dwarf winter white
dwarf chinease
or
roborovskii (smallest breed)
Colours don't tell everything. If it's a dwarf, then you are probably talking about dwarf hamsters. They are a really tiny breed of hamster. It becomes so small because of the breeding of its ancestors years ago. The continues breeding with different types of hamsters causes it to become smaller %26 smaller.
It depends on the size/colour of the hamster. If it is very small and coloured like you say it could be as dwarf, or it could just be a baby hamster. Or it could be a russian hamster, they are also very small, they are usally a white colour so i would say russian, but you can look on google images to see if there are any pictures like your hamster (then you can work out what it is) Good luck.
I think it is a dwarf hamster. I THINK!

Here are some photos of dwarf hamsters... if it's not one of these check out the syrian gallery. The NHC site has lots of useful info.
