A wild Syrian is Golden, with no Patterns, and the Coat is Short, Straight, and non-Satin. The
genetics for this would be written as: A- B- baba C- Dg- dsds
E- Hr- L- lglg P- Rd- Rx- sasa sgsg toto uu whwh. This is
usually shortened to ++ to mean there are no mutations from the
wild type. Since most Syrian hamsters have only a handful of genes to be considered, the majority of
breeders simply list the genes that are definitely there.
