Gerbil- certain type

Hi guys. I seen a perticular type of gerbil at a farm in Ireland one day. However I'm having trouble remembering what type it was. I think the man called it an 'artic' gerbil. However it could have been 'russian' or 'siberian'.

My girlfriend loved the thing and I was thinking of getting her one for her birthday. (she has had pets before and is well able to look after it). I am more of a dog person so anyone who could help me with the type would be a saint!

The correct name and/or pictures would be great. Oh and I did search this fourm already and the net!

I've tried some local pet shops in Ireland. Got the usual 'no but we have a canary if you want that' response.
