Hello and welcome. Are you asking for advice on the babies? This thread will help you.

Wait, are you saying a Syrian and a dwarf had babies? That is not possible.
Accidental litters - how to handle this
New hamster owners often get landed with an unexpected litter. Sometimes they have bought a Syrian only to find out the Syrian is not male, it is female and pregnant. And don't even realise until the babies are born. Other times people buy a pair of "same sex" dwarf hamsters, only to find one...

So they're a week old Is dominant spot the more dominant gene then? I find the genetics of litters fascinating. I know a Cinammon Syrian bred with another Cinammon Syrian can have some cream and some Cinnamon babies if there is cream in the genetic history of one of the Cinammons. Dominant Spot is a lovely colouring.

Sorry! If you think that sounds like a foreign language, you should see how breeders discuss it - they have abbreviations for all the different types. aaee genotype will always be cream apparently. Black plus rust is aabb and produces chocolate coloured Syrians. It would be interesting to have an article on the genotypes. I only have the basic links to colourings on the home page.

Do you have homes for them already or are you waiting till they're a bit older to start looking for homes?

Generally we don't encourage people to breed their own hamsters on here - unless they are affiliated to an official breeding association. But you said you are an experienced breeder so am assuming you are involved in a breeding association? Or had guidance from other breeders perhaps. Apologies for asking so many questions! It would be interesting to hear of your breeding experiences and previous litters.

I have bred hamsters and fancy mice for years I had a mousery called Golden Girls Fancy mousery but all my breeder mice are retired or has passed now. So yes I have lots of experience and I bred a normal to dominant spotted which usally creates 50/50 chance of dominant spotted but I think she must have dominant spotted in her blood to produce 75% dominant spotted 
and I plan to hold back a dominant spotted female to breed back to dominant spotted to create black eyed whites hopefully.
