Mullerkazarsungold Illusion of Toy box and Eve.I was born into a non pet-owning family, which most likely explains my obsession with animals. I live six miles east of Edinburgh in Central Scotland in a country cottage surrounded by fields and no neighbors.I have a cat boarding business with a license to board 115 cats. I bought my first Pom in 1976 having seen one and fallen in love with them. I had bred Arabian horses and Persian cats with much success, but my love of Poms took off in a big way. My first show dog was purchased from the world famous Hadleigh Kennel. I just phoned up Gladys Dyke and asked her for one, as I had heard she had the best. Little did I know that you just didnt phone up Mrs. Dyke and ask for a dog. My mentor, Astrid Ogilvie of the Pakov Poms, couldnt believe that I was going down to London to pick up a ten month old wolf sable dog. She kept saying to me I must have gotten a different Mrs. Dyke Astrid is still a good friend and a lady whom I had first conThe Pomeranian Registry'sBreeders Forumproudly presents0vc SmcxtLporre-r'cvr icxnstacted to use her stud dog. She and I wen to pick up this gorgeous little dog, but he did not like to show and I never got him t breed yet I have never regretted buyine him. Sadly a heart attack took him at five years old.Next I got a super typey cream doe who was all Cynpeg breeding. I knew be fore I bought him that he would not show but he was very well bred. I decided to have him and he produced Toybox Small Print Although he was not a champion, Smal Print did a lot of winning for me and pro duced several champions, including the famous Ch.

In one of those years, I had the Top Pom in Britain, Southern Ireland, Denmark and Finland with dogs I had sold. I have been Top British Breeder several times and had Top Pom, Top Stud Dog and Top Puppy several times also and have bred countless champions worldwide, including Ireland, Iceland, Finland, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Denmark, Germany, and Sweden to the great satisfaction of their owners. I have always tried to send my best.I decided that I needed new bloodlinesasWr.v Ch. Toybox Halfway To Heaven by Int Ch. Stolannes Highway To Heaven. Her litter sister, Ch.

Fie is nearly 11 years old and we have puppies due from him now.I also bought from Fran Stoll, American and Canadian Ch. Stolannes FHigh- way to Heaven at Toybox.

He has been a good sire for me and although I have had only ten puppies from him, I have just finished two of his daughters to their English title within the last few weeks. He has a Finnish champion son, an Icelandic champion son, and an Australian champion son. I am hoping to send something from him back to Fran later this year. She has been so patient waiting for it.At present I keep about 14 Poms.

Quality and quantity ont come hand in hand. Dogs were never leant to be battery farmed and sold off in ulk job lots.My dogs have a purpose built kennel ith two to a pen and free access to their .ins 23 hours a day, weather permitting, he show dogs and puppies live in a small om at the back of my kitchen with access a big run during the day.In the UK, if you keep more than three reeding bitches you must be licensed by le local authority and they tell you what icilities you need and inspect you yearly long with a vet. I think its a good thing nd have been licensed for 19 years with- ut a hitch.Not only do I show, but I judge and one f my greatest pleasures was to judge the imerican Pomeranian Club Summer Spe- ialty. I have also judged the Pom Club Ihow in Sweden, Ireland and Taiwan. In ie UK we have many breeder judges as ell as all-rounders and there are advances to each type of judge. Sometimes a og will have many wins under breeder jdges, but be dumped under all-round- irs, maybe because the all-rounders just ill not forgive the faults the breeder jdges ignore, and sometimes people do iin under their friends. Looking at the ither side of the coin, a dog will have a iig win under an all-rounder and then lever win anything worthwhile again, so is swings and roundabouts. They sayevery dog has its day but some just have it when they shouldnt.Living in Scotland has its drawbacks in that I do have a lot of travelling to do, usually facing a 700 to 1000 mile round trip to most of the major shows. We have three Championship shows in Scotland with Ch. on offer. Everything is in England. The British Kennel Club seems to think the United Kingdom stops 20 miles north of London. No wonder the Scots are voting on its own Parliament today. Stop Presses WE GOT ITI have had no real problem with coats or skin. Some of the American dogs I have seen and judged seem to lack the real Pom coat. They have no length of guard hair and seem just to have lots of undercoat. I cross my American lines with the English lines, usually no more than 75 American, and it really works. This way I get the best of both worlds. The American Lines are so alien to the English lines, you almost get a mixed animal. For example, I bred one of my beautiful bitches to one of my imported males, expecting great things. Sadly, I lost the male so I cant try other combinations, but the two puppies I got are awful. I wont even show them to my Pom friends here because they are so terrible. Im going to keep the puppies they are both bitches and see if by using another imported dog, I cant get back the quality that I know to be there.I have had the usual undershot mouths, but this is due to trying to get the face too short. Get sensible and try for a nice balanced face with expression and you dont get this problem. I have also had some patella problems, but my stock is2 , Att.ljJbi.Irish Ch, Tiujlm Bubbling OverUK Ch.

I think people should talk more nd not try to hide their problems. The I ever had that syndrome doesnt help nyone.I have imported about 10 dogs and the orst of that is the quarantine of six months, 'ou can go and see them every day if you ke, but its too long for them not to be at erne with you. I think that it may soon drop d three or four months from rabies con- olled countries and 30 days from rabies ee countries. Exporting is not a problem, ut to the Far East I think the dogs future 5 sometimes very uncertain. After a bad ixperience, none of my dogs will ever go igain.My philosophy is not to kid yourself ibout your dogs, and not to allow your dogs o suffer in the lursuit of your lobby, or in lome cases,omeone elses usiness. I de- ipise people vho give tiny jitches related c-sec- ions, or keep hem in cages ind mass produce them.I think con- racts whichspell out the exact specifications of the sale are essential and I think this is even more important between friends where a handshake on a deal can lead to many losses, especially to the friendship itself. I have bought dogs from so-called friends and been badly ripped off, so I know whereof I speak. I also never sell Poms to homes with children. You wouldnt give your best china to children to play with and thats how I view my Poms. I sell my pets on a 48 hour vet check and return contract. The genetic problems of the breed are spelled out, plus a disclaimer must be signed saying they accept the fact that the breed has the possibility of these defects appearing in later life and that they will not hold the breeder responsible. For show dogs, I usually dont sell until full dentition is in and would take back any show dog if it developed anything which prevented it from being shown, provided a show price had been paid.Like every one of you, I have had times when I was giving up, but I just adore Poms - pure and simple - and can never see myself being without them.I would like to be remembered as someone who bred nice sound Poms with personality plus, and who would help anyone in trouble regardless of any ill feelings we may have had in the past.Eve judged the APC National Specialty in 1993 and put up Ch.

Starfires Im Sexy Too, owned by larie Jacques and bred by Tony Cabrera making his way to that top spot again, his guy continues his winning ways with everal more Best in Show wins recently, dding to an already impressive show 3cord.The Canadian National Specialty was eld in Kingston, Ontario in July, judged y Mr. Edd Bivin. Mr. Bivin chose Dover tollhouse Rogos M.E. by Am. Ch. Finchs le Walks on Water ex Rogos Munchkin -om Oz bred by Patricia Foley, Katherine tartz and M. Rogozinski.

Millamors Dance of Sour- vood ex Ch. Chriscendo Centrefold. Sweepstakes was won by Jolvins Legacy f Ginger by Am. Ch. Heartlands Top 'Jotch Tradition ex Can. Am. Raglans Gin- jer Snaps, bred and owned by Melvin and loan Beech.As you can see from this list of win- lers, many of our Canadian dogs, both at his Specialty and in general, are based Dn American bloodlines as opposed to English or European ones.That is pretty much standard, although several kennels have een breeding for so long that the dogs are certainly Canadian bred. I find thatmany Canadian breeders are biting the bullet and shipping their bitches off to top producers and it is paying off. Its not easy to pack those little Poms off to another country, go through the hassle of customs, to say nothing of the brutal American dollar, and the costs of shipping and air fare, but its a necessary evil in order to improve our lines.Certainly people in larger breeds think the fees are cheap for Toys, but I also think we get a lot less for our money. So often, our efforts bring us only one or even no puppies. But it seems there are Canadian breeders for whom its paying off. I am so proud to see these people attending and winning at American specialties. Its greatI had the pleasure of meeting Lisa Stasiuk from Saskachewan at the Specialty. Lisa is working very hard, along with her husband, Mike, to produce some excellent dogs. They do not own more than half a dozen Poms but they drove all the way to Missouri to breed their girl to Jake Ch. Rock N Tradition of Oakridge and were rewarded with three puppies. They have already finished all threeJoan and Melvin Beech are producing some lovely puppies. They won the Super Match in Ohio with their little guy who won the Sweeps at our National and I am sure you will hear lots from him in the future. And the Beaches love to show That is so important. No one knows you have nice dogs if they have never seen them. The Beeches have won the Breed and Best of Winners at the Balitimore Specialty with two Canadian bred Poms and they work hard to finish their dogs in both Canada and the U.S.John and Darlene Boyd of Chinadolls have also had some nice ones and are selling all over the world right now. One they sold recently, Chinadolls Avenger, owned by Bev Carter in Newfoundland, just won a Best in Show for his owner.Doug Stratton finished PeppipomsSpirit of Sunterra this spring with a couple of Groups. She is co-owned and bred by Loretta Petersen. You may remember that Doug finished his Ch. Sunterra Sweet Seduction at the Columbia Specialties on the West Coast last year. He is a very small breeder with only 5 dogs who concentrates on quality not quantity.Pam Dodsworth and husband Larry Fox are breeders I guarantee you will hear more from.

For that reason, I want them to eat the most nutritious food possible. Even though Im knowledgeable about nutrition, I find Im not inclined to do much cooking for myself. But whenever I have time, I do my best to create the healthiest meals I can for my dogs.Remembering a cute little book Are You as Happy as Your Dog written by Allen Cohen in collaboration with a Dragonfly Ranch offspring, Professor Munchie, I ask myself, Should I eat as healthfully as my dogs The answer is, Why notLiving on the Kona Coast of Hawaii, it is easy to maintain a year round garden that has greens high in calciumsweet potato vine, seven top turnip, collards and kale. These are things that, 1. make for strong24little Pomeranian legs and 2. combat osteoporosis. While I might not feel like bothering to prepare food for myself alone, Im highly motivated to care for my babies. When I go to the garden for greens for the dog food, I gather extra for myself, put it in the electric steamer and turn the knob to 5 minutes. When I use the rice cooker to make quinoa the Cadillac of grains with 16 protein, I make a big pot with plenty of extra for me. And when I go to the fish market for scraps for my dogs, I buy fresh fish for myself. The ultimate recipe I have yet concocted for my wee little ones is Dragonfly Ranch Most Pampered Pomeranian Stew. I happily share it here with you.Dragonfly RanchMost Pampered Pomeranian Stew.Using chicken necks saved for me by my friends at Billy Bobs Park and Pork, I make a big chicken broth base. I clean off the chicken meat and put it in the broth, saving the vertebrae for teeth cleaning treats doled out for good behavior.To this base I add the innards of the chicken along with some chicken meat, turkey or fish and cook this until it is almost done. Then I simmer it together with diced onion, minced garlic and a small amount of root vegetable like sweet potatoall Pomeranian bite sized. Holding to the proportions recommended by Dr. Basko, I then combine this all with the cooked grain and fresh green vegRietables. When the greens are young a tender, I simply cut them sliver fine withe cooking out the enzymes. I mix it togetf and let it all harmonize for a short timIf I make a a large amount at once, I stc some in the freezer. The rest I keep in t refrigerator, warming daily portions on t stove. I no longer use the microwave sin a guest told me it destroys enzymes.In truth, my dogs have let me know tf they much prefer the fresh cooked food especially the when the greens turn tf bright jewel green eat me color. My do dont mind my heating the refrigerated pi tion for them. But when I get down to usii the frozen part, they look at me and s This isnt as appetizing as the fresh stuff but well reluctantly eat it.Just prior to serving, I add the papa seeds, finely chopped fresh basil, fl, seed oil, dulse leaves, yeast powdi spiralina, and dog vitamins.Im just hoping that by sharing my e perience with my dogs, other dog love might also become inspired to coc healthier food for themselves. Not yet ha\ I gotten out the candles, turned on tf music and dressed for the occasion sharing these extraordinary meals with rr best friendsbut I wouldnt be surprise if thats the next step.Barbara Moore built her home near the aicient Place of Sanctuary on the sunny KorCoast 23 years ago.

Chriscendo Claim to FamShowing ^our Pomeranian Xussxe St^feBy Denise Leo AustraliaUnder the umbrella of the Australian Na- onal Kennel Control, each state in Aus- alia has its own controlling body to regis- r puppies, handle transfers, etc. Many of lese controlling bodies now own howgrounds and have indoor showrings r the comfort of their members, but most ustralian shows are still held at outdoor enues and of course, rain, hail, sunshine r snow, the show must go onThe Judge may be lucky to have a beach mbrella erected over the examining table, ut usually ends up cold and wet on mis- rable days and very, very sunburned on ot, sunny days.Dog exhibitors being very innovative 'eople, usually put up some sort of shel- 3r for dog and owner. Smallish camping snts that allow the exhibitor to stand in omfort used to be the standard answer cr the energetic dog exhibitor who was irepared to carry and erect a tent ringside. ther exhibitors just managed with a ieach umbrella and on wet days attached i tarpaulin to one side of the umbrella and' loped and prayed for a rainbow to quickly ippear on the horizon.When I first started exhibiting my Pome- anians in the 1970s, I purchased a beatifulbright orange beach umbrella, which was great until I attended a show in wet weather. I erected my beautiful bright orange beach umbrella close to the entrance to the toy ring and sat to watch the judging. Two ladies with Maltese came along and asked if they could put their dogs on my table under the umbrella while waiting to be judged. Unfortunately the beach umbrella started to drip orange dye onto these exquisitely groomed doggies. What a disaster to have happen within minutes of Maltese being called into the ringAfter this mishap I decided to purchase one of these new tangled umbrella covers or tents I had seen. These umbrella tents slip easily over the umbrella when at half mast. You then fully erect the umbrella and peg around the bottom of the tent to the ground with tent pegs. I was also hoping for the added advantage of being invisible to Maltese exhibitorsMy umbrella tent was all nylon and a light orange color thank goodness the dye did not run with this one, but on rather windy days it nearly became airborne a couple of times. My husband accompanied me to a two day dog show in windy, rainy weather and he spent the two days holding onto the umbrella tent. He kept muttering something about never, never coming to another dog show and that I was to never put our name on the show equipment. He also, in a very, very impolite manner, expressed concern about the show paraphernalia taking to the skies, maiming some innocent party, and after the courtcase we would be homeless and pennilessMy Aunty Ethel and Uncle Reg cameimroaucing...SBEST IN 1 SWEEPSTAKESBITCH- .

CsorLcc U, LyntnoyLSLike other Toys, the Pom may have entition problems. There are many factors t work here. Poms are often fed soft foods nd their owners are reluctant to have regu- ir dental prophylaxis due to a mistaken ar of general anesthesia. Poms are also rone to retained deciduous baby teeth hich can interfere with bite and hygiene.We, as breeders, have drastically hortened their muzzles in the last 15 years nd this has led to overcrowding of the iouth in some cases. Tooth size, number nd shape have not changed but the teeth lust now go into a smaller area than pre- iously. Their life spans are fairly long and ome, quite frankly, just out live their teeth have a bitch of 18 years and even though ler dental care has been good, she has inly 7 teeth now. In fact, proper dental care irill prolong any animals life.ART 1 THE PUPA quick review of the canine mouth ells us that most pups of 6 weeks have 28 ieciduous teeth. At 8 weeks the perma- lent teeth begin to come in, starting with he incisors and finishing at 7 months with he molars, giving 42 permanent teeth.Some examples of hereditary bad cites or maloccusions includeOver bite - where the lower jaw is shorter than the upper. Here you can see i gap between the upper and lower incisors. An over bite is not normal for any creed. To remember, picture Val Kilmer or DraculaUnder bite - the lower teeth protude n front of the upper teeth. To remember, cicture Jim Carrey The underbite is now considered to be familial running in fami- ies and not totally due to dominant or recessive genes. This explains the bitch with a slight underbite having a litter of pups with perfect bites when out crossed toanother line.Base Narrow- the lower jar is too narrow with the bottom teeth leaning inwards. This condition is usually rectified with a tooth plane.Wry mouth - where one side of the skull or jaw grows asymmetrically giving an ugly, crooked appearance. Method of inheretance is polygenic and strongly hereditary.Missing teeth - can happen happen in the Pom breed indeed all breeds due to recessive genetics. Pups as young as 9 weeks may be x-rayed skull x-rays only. This will ascertain tooth bud formation without radiation-development problems if you need to know whether adult tooth buds are present. For young pups Valium and or Ketamine sedation may be used in place of gas anesthesia to assure the pup is as still as possible for a good picture to be taken.Supernummary teeth - These extra teeth can cause severe overcrowding and rotting of adult teeth and MUST be removed.Tooth color itself is inherited. Off white teeth may be bleached and whitened. Personally, I dont feel that this is altering the appearance of a show animal. Just a form of a little extra grooming. Some of these bites may be corrected by bands and braces fitted by a Dental Board certified vet. Orthodontics is reserved for animals that are not show animals. Canine teeth will move in weeks or months as opposed to the lengthy orthodontic therapy in humans.A word of caution to breeders here. Many pet catalogs carry small rubber bands which are supposedly used to move a misplaced tooth. Do not resort to using them They can cause severe gum and tongue damage and are ineffective. If swaltomhoft tomho rebel lee"rebel" was reserve wd at an ape national specialty show as a pup. he hoc a hiatus from the show ring due to tommi's complicated move to texas. he is nou back in the ring...thanks to mr. ken falconi for finishing his litter brother - tomho revel lee - a the backup show following the dallasft. worth pom club specialty show.tommi hooban 30403 misty meadow magnolia, be 77355218 259-83103wed, major surgery can be the result.There are other causes of bad bites lat are not hereditary and if caught early M2 weeks enough and treated will re- ult in a natural, good bite.Anterior cross bite - occurs when 1 r more lower incisors are positioned in ont of the upper incisors. This is not a enetic defect. It may be caused by re- ained primary teeth or impacted roots, ixtraction of retained teeth will often cored this common problem. This can also e a direct, acquired problem due to tug of ar games. May also be acquired by a pup ho constantly pulls a litter mates tail.Interlocking teeth - a slight underbite the result. If the deciduous teeth caus- ag the problem are pulled at an early mough age the bite will correct itself in 50- i0 of cases. This is not a genetic prob- 3m so interception here is allowed with iften a happy outcome. If a pup of 10 eeks shows signs of going off now is he time to see a dental specialist. Do not lelay.Retained deciduous teeth - baby eeth and adult teeth should never occupy he same space. Some vets will advise vaiting to see if the teeth fall out by 6-7 nonths. Many times they dont. In my opin- on not much is gained by waiting except jerhaps worn adult teeth and an imperfect ite. With modern anesthetics there is little o fear and much to gain. In the case of a up destined for the show ring it is ex- remely worthwhile to get a referral to a vet vho is board certified in dental care. If an wner is at all worried about anesthesia n a tiny pup of a tender age it is worthwhile discussing this with the vet first. A chamber induction should be possible to avoid overdosing of gaseous agents dur- ng the excitement phase.As an owner there are many things ou can do to perserve your pups teeth and oite.First and foremost, breed good mouths. Begin watching a pups bite closely at 8 weeks. Do not forget to view the mouth from the front as well as sides.Viewed from the front with the jaw closed and the lips lifted all pups should have 3 teeth on each side directly below the septum of the nose. This midline match will show whether the jaws are growing symmetrically. Time is short if a natural, good bite starts to change. The canine dental specialist should be seen when the pup is 9-12 weeks of age if you even suspect a problem is developing. Feed crunchy foods as well as soft. Most dogs will happily consume a raw carrot. No, not bones or chicken wings. These are faddish at the moment but can do untold damage to Poms. Believe me, it is not a case of if but when the damage will occur. And it will. Leave the bones to the big breeds. Even that worries me. Offer Poms toys and chews that have peridontal ridges.Discourage tug of war games and tail pulling promptly. As thumb sucking in humans can move teeth so can this in dogs, and twice as quickly. Find and use the best dental specialist you can afford. Massage puppy gums twice a week. It stimulates blood and saliva flow, helps loosen baby teeth and allows permanent teeth to erupt through the gum line. This simple practice will keep you aware of what is happening in a puppys mouth. A little peanut butter, chicken stock or vegemite on the finger will make it a pleasurable experience for the pup. Be wary of commercial high protein puppy foods. This can encourage the different rates of jaw growth that happen normally. Most Pom pups do well on adult rations which have a lower protein amount than puppy meals. Lastly, if you brush your dogs teeth do not use pastes containing Fluoride. Toxicity in Poms from Fluoride is a very real dangerPart 2 THE ADULTIt is not unusual in the Pom to see a young dog of 4 years with loose or missing teeth. This is sad as, for the most part, it is avoidable. Tooth retention is important to digestion, health and longevity. It is worth striving for.

This requires, of course, a high at tail.The rear quarters, as with all of the reeds, must balance the front in angu- ition. Touch these furry little legs to lake sure youre looking at bone struc- ire, not just fur. As you move to the ar of the dog, you want to see hocks lat are perpendicular to the ground and igs that are now bowed, but parallel to ach other. The Pom feet must be, and sually are, compact, well arched, and ot turned in or out.As you are going over this exhibit, our hands will know if the coat is corset, double with the soft dense underoat. The guard hair stands off from the ody, and your eye will hope to find that ie most abundant area of coat is in the ieck, chest and forequarters, giving him ie outline so typical of the breed. Most if the dogs in the ring today will have neir coats trimmed for neatness. This an be done skillfully so the Pom doesnt Dok like hes had a meeting with a hedge dipper.Now its time to evaluate his gait oming and going. As he goes down and lack you will expect to see legs that nove freely and with vigor. The legs are hrown neither in nor out. If the front is ncorrect, you will see labored move- nent, or elbows that rock in and out as le goes. This probably confirms what 'ou already found when he was on the able.I like to examine expression when ie returns to me after the down and back outine. Bait or a noise will cause him to ook up and it is at this time that I ex- sect to see the foxy look - curious and ntelligent.Now for a trip around the ring alone. \gain, a neat little package full of confidence, balanced, reaching and driving, coat tightly placed on his body becauseof its density. This is also a good time to make a visual comparison of the class to evaluate size. While overall quality is more important than size, we must be careful not to reward possible giants in this lovely toy breed.The Pom is a delightful animal. He is a big dog in a very small package. Dont be afraid to go over him completely. His parts are put together in much the same way as other dogs, but you must get into and under the coat to make that determination.But most important, enjoy the Pom. Theyre fun to judge, and throughout the country, there are some good ones, which like rich cream, will come to the top.Mouth Troubles, cont. from p. 36.heavy fluoridated water, filtration of a pups drinking water is a good idea. The canine lucky enough to live in the 90s has almost all the benefits that humans have in dental advancements.

Tom Acres Atomic fireballff\WINNERS'NEW CHAMPIONCOULEEKENNEL CLUB AUGUST 1997D0Wr PH0T0-8T DUNE 0Bob and I would like to thank the judges who appreciated Atom. He is shown here with Judge Glenda Hawkins.Tom AcresBob and Juanita Fiddick 32581 130th St. Cedar Falls, IA 50613 319 989-2199 mm.51-to the rescue. Uncle Reg is 81 years young and Aunty Ethel is 76. On Ethels old Singer treadle sewing maching they made me the perfect umbrella tent, sewn from very heavy plastic ground sheets. This tent withstands all weather and is simple and easy to erect over my umbrella. Uncle Reg pulled the ground sheets through the machine while Aunty Ethel treadled away.The result is a perfect umbrella shelter on wet days for my dogs and myself. At shows I have had so many people inquire about where to purchase a special umbrella tent like mine. I have to inform them that my tent is a one-off designer model made by my Uncle Reg and Aunty Ethel. Best of all, it hardly takes up any room in my car. This is very important as we seem to have an unwritten law in Australia that the smaller the dog you exhibit, the more dogs and equipment you must take with you when attending shows. Of course, if you are a senior citizen this requirement seems to be at least doubled if not tripledUmbrella tents in nylon with the front made of plastic fly wire to stop the tent from becoming airborne are now readily available. The problem of course is which way the rain will come from all day.So on wet days in Australia, we sit ringside in our umbrella tents, grooming our Pomeranians having a great time as we watch the poor Judge and Steward out in the rain, hoping for that elusive rainbowto appear before Poms are called to the ring. Pomeranians are judged closest to the Best in Group judging so in wet weather there is always a panic to dry your dog before Best in Group. As you desperately try to dry your dog, you think an a should be added in front of Pomeranian so the breed would be judged first among the toy breeds, thus giving Pom exhibitors time to properly prepare their dogs for group judging.Next weekend, guess where we will be Yes, at another dog show doing it all again.

For me, it was to get a Group placement on my chocolate special, Ch. Heartlands In The Nicka Time. It was a long haul for Nicky and me, even to get his championship. Its real tough showing an exotic color against the quality orange Poms that are out there today, as those of you that have done it know.When I set out for the Pomeranian Specialty in North Carolina the end of September, it was to show the Pom world a quality dog that happened to be chocolate in color. I knew whatever else happened there a quality Pomeranian would be appreciated. Not only was this goal accomplished, but a dream came true. Out of tough competition with a large entry, Nicky made the cut everyday but one, and on September 27, at the Columbia KC show, out of an entry of 105 Poms including 18 specials, Ch. Heartlands In The Nicka Time went Best of Breed over top ranked dogs under just Mr. Roy Holloway, and then on to a Group 3 under Mr. Frank Sabella I was in seventh heaven and was so proud of this special little boy. He sure did his mom proud.There arent enough words to say how moved I was by the support for Nicky that was given by friends, fellow Pom exhibitors, and other Pom lovers. This truly was a day where a statement was made for the Pomeranian breed by one and all.Heartland PomeraniansDianne Kieffer7523 N.
