Judging standards generally call for the head to be as broad between the eyes as it is long, while the muzzle (the front of the face) must be short for the judges.
The size of exhibition hamsters tend to be relatively large, compared with those bred as pets, but judges do make allowances for the fact that females are naturally bigger than males. The eyes should be quite prominent on the face, with the ears being relatively large.
Judges also take note of the coloration, markings and coat type. Clean fur with good shine to the coat is essential with the fur itself having to be dense over the belly area as well as the whole body.
