Bourne Valley Pembroke (Brooke)

Bourne Valley Pembroke is a fairly unusually-coloured hamster, with the combination of the colours Rust, Black and Yellow (and a Banded pattern which gives her a white underside and white round her middle). The three colours working together produce her Honey-coloured (orange) underfur (a mix of the Rust and the Yellow) and Chocolate-brown tips to each hair (a mix of Rust and the Black). As she moves, parts of her that are stretched out or only have very short fur (mainly round her eyes and mouth) show the orange-coloured fur, and parts of her that are bunched up show only dark brown, so she appears to change colour in a shimmering way as she moves around.

Brooke's colour is described as Chocolate Yellow, because Rust+Black is usually called Chocolate - but it could also be called 'Melanistic Black-eyed Honey' or 'Black-eyed Honey Black' because Rust+Yellow by itself is known as Black-eyed Honey.
