Thank you, Darrell and Olga, for allowing the Pomeranian Review to do a tribute for Ch. Great Elms Prince Charming II, ROMX. You have my sincerest sympathy because of your great loss.The response from the people contacted by the P.R. Girls, Julie and Judy, was exceptional. Thank you, Dudley, for the long hours and many fax and phone calls it took to put the past issue together. The August issue will be one to cherish without the support of the readers and advertisers and everyones hard work, this issue would not have been possible.The Show Committee and the APC Board Members are making the final preparations for the American Pomeranian Clubs National Specially which is being held at the Comfort Inn, Arlington, Texas Dallas Area. The 98 Sweepstakes will be held on March 17, 1998, with Fran Stoll judging. The National Specialty will be held on March 17, 1998, with Norman Patton doing the judging. Dudley Roach, Advertising Chair and Peggy Hendricks, Trophy Chair will be sending all of you greetings and salutations in the near future.Speaking of Specialties, Dot Martin, Show Chairperson for the 97 APC Summer Specialty was overwhelmed with 147 entries and all the support she got from APC members and Pom Fanciers from across the nation and other countries as well. See the write up on the Specialty by Derial Jackson in this issue.On another note, the APC Board has had to send back a few APC applications. Things to remember are the Sponsors must have been members in good standing for two years, have known the applicant for two years, and can not be from the same household. The Applicant must answer allquestions on the application. It takes three to four months after Jerrie Freia, Membership Chair receives the application to become a member. If Jerrie has to send the application back to the applicant, it just adds more time.I had a great time in Charlotte, and if you missed the show in Charlotte, maybe you can catch the Specialty in Dallas.Nuff said,JimMembershipReportby Jerrie FreiaMembership Report as of 914971072 A Landry Road Morgan City, LA 70380 504 384-7466Letters, other than those from sponsors, commenting on the applicants whose names are published in the Review, are to go to Marge Kranzfelder 821 Brown Road San Juan Bautista, CA 95045.Contact Jerrie Freia for membership applications.New ApplicationsMarian Dossinger WlSponsorsSharon Masnick Nadine HersilDavid and Carlene Gilstrap TNSponsorsElaine Way Ruth L.

Valcopy-Wakhan TatianaThe subject of vaccines is appropriate to both late summer, early fall when lots of infectious diseases are prevalent, and also to our subject of the immune system relating to our Severe Hair Loss Syndrome. The topic of vaccinations could be a subject for a whole series of articles. Tlhis article will concentrate on two ideas 1 keeping puppies as free from disease as possible, and 2 not overloading their immune system to trigger a chronic disorder. This, as in all my articles, assumes that you and your local veterinarian are a team making decisions together for the best interest of your Poms.Excerpt from UC Davis Book of Dogs...Infectious diseases are most common and most serious in young dogs, so this is the obvious group to immunize. Unfortunately, maternal immunity interferes with vaccination for the first four to six weeks of life. Between 5 and 16 weeks of age, this inhibitory effect disappears. The exact age of disappearance will vaiy greatly, however, from one dog to another. Over 95 of pups will have lost their inhibiting maternal immunity by the time they are 14 to 16 weeks of age.Maternal immunity is the principal reason why young puppies receive a series of vaccinations. Vaccinations are given at intervals throughout the period when maternal immunity is waning. The final vaccination in the series is given when most pups are sure to respond to it i.e. at 14 to 16 weeks of age. By giving such a series of vaccinations, the period during which the puppies are most susceptible to natural infection is made as brief asFRANSU NEUJAHR^'Cke ^ntibqe islets'tWhelped July 14, 97Sungolds Hi Li-Te Ch Nabobs Talk of the TownSun Rays Mochas Minuet Nabob Nabobs Smidget to the King Ch The Wizard of Camelot Nabob's Snow Patty O Camelot Nabobs Snow Dove of Patty THE SMIDGE SISTERS Sun Rays Diamond Jim Nabobs Champagne On Ice Pombredens White Lightening Berrys Snowy OctoberCh Nabobs Dime Store Cowboy Painter's AutumnNabobs Winter's White WinsongOut ^^J-itstLute.tWe dont ship.FRANSUSue Hughes304 756-9356 NEUJAHREvelyn NewyearAmerican Pomeranian uud 11FRANSU NEUJAHR Nabobstnbqe.t rCke.

Box 57 Sod, WV 25564NEUJAHREvelyn Newyear304756-9356 4478 River StreetWilloughby, OH 44084WE DO NOT SHIPwhich the puppies are most susceptible to natural infection is made as brief as possible. For instance, if a pup loses all of its maternal immunity at 7 weeks of age owing to a low level of antibody transferred from the bitch and is not vaccinated until 14 weeks of age, it will be unprotected for a period of 7 weeks. If the puppy had been vaccinated at 8 weeks of age, then this period of relative susceptibility would have lasted only a few weeks.Maternal immunity against virulent infections disappears earlier than does immunity against vaccine infection, that is, the level of maternal antibody may be low enough such that the pup is susceptible to infection with the actual disease agent should it be encountered, yet still high enough to interfere with immunization by the modified of killed gent in the vaccine the so-called window of opportunity. This finding has important implications for vaccination programs in kennels and other group-housing situations. If there is a high probability of exposure in a particular environment then many infections can occur during the window of opportunity before the young pups reach a vaccine-responsive age.Conclusion Since you dont know exactly when this window is open, even if your pups receive vaccinations, in order to insure their good health, you should control their environment to have less chance of exposure to infectious diseases until they are at least 16 weeks of age.Reminder From the AKC SeptemberWe accept charges to VISA MASTERCHARGEGazette Veterinary News, all parvo vaccines are not equal. A significantly higher percentage of puppies vaccinated with Progard 7 Intervet developed protective levels of antibodies at a younger age than those that were vaccinated with Duramune Ft. Dodge.Excerpts and Synopsis from Dr. Dodds Symposium Evidence implicating vaccines in triggering immune-mediated and other chronic disorders is growing, Dr. Dodds questions that the same dose of vaccines is intended for toy and giant breeds. She reminds us never to give distemper shots before 5 weeks of age. It has been known to cause encephalitis. Measuring serum antibody titers which is different than vaccine titer tests offers alternatives to routine boosters. Avoid vaccinating or overvaccinating sick, very old, debilitated animals, immunocompromizedanimals, and febrile animals those having fever.Shortening times between injections beyond those recommended by the manufacturer can compromise the immune system. The body needs time to have a normal response. If you manage to avoid an immediate negative response in over-vaccinating, you may still trigger a chronic disorder, such as hypothyrodism.On the Forefront There was a Veterinary International Symposium held in My, 1997, concerning new vaccinating protocol. Their recommendations should be published by Spring, 1998. Their recommendations will involve new time lines and a different type of vaccine. Until then, the following is Dr. Dodds recommendation.American Pomeranian Club 13REVISED VACCINATION PROTOCOL-1996Note This schedule is the one I recommend and should not be interpreted to mean that other protocols recommended by a veterinarian would be less satisfactory. Its a matter of professional judgement and choice.For breeds or families of dogs susceptible to or affected with immune dysfunction, immune-mediated disease, immune-reactions associated with vaccinations, or autoimmune endocrine disease e.g., thyroiditis, Addisons or Cushings disease, diabetes, etc. the following protocol is recommendedAge of Pups Vaccine Type6 weeks range could be 5 126 12 Distemper measles without hepatitisweeks but not earlier6- 8 weeks and 10 weeks for pups not receiving measles earlier7- 8 weeks and 10-11 weeks. Same schedule and product each timeDistemper parainfluenza without hepatitis for pups not receiving measles earlierKilled canine parvovirus given 3-4 weeks apart12 weeks Distemper hepatitis parainfluenza leptospirosis without parvovirus14 weeks and 18-20 weeks-same schedule and product each time Distemper hepatitis leptospirosis killed canine parvovirus16-24 weeks Killed rabies vaccine During parvovirus epidemics or for highly susceptible breeds such as Rottwilers, newer modified-live virus MLV vaccines that override maternal immunity may be needed here. Alternatively, killed parvovirus vaccine and the distemper hepatitis parainfluenza leptospirosis combination are alternated every 2 weeks during the 14-20 week period.Annual boosters using distemper hepatitis parainfluenza leptospirosis killed canine of MLV parvovirus are given to adults until mid-life. Thereafter, boosters are given every 2-3 years until old age. Beyond 10 years of age, booster, booster vaccinations are generally not needed, and may be unwise if aging or other diseases are present. For animals at high exposure risk to parvovirus diseasean additional parvovirus vaccination can be given at the 6-month period.I use only killed 3-year rabies vaccine for adults and give it separated from other vaccines by at least 2 and preferably 3-4 weeks.I do not use Bordetella or corona virus vaccines unless these diseases are endemicRISE N SHINES PARTI MUSICaka Harmonyk.-'yuykHarmony went BOS in sweepstakes from the 6-9 puppy class under Judge David Berry.

I do not recommend Lyme vaccine.I do not recommend breeding bitches during estrus, pregnancy, or lactation.I recommend that distemper or distemper-measles vaccine be given without hepatitis before the age of 10 weeks, because of the reported suppression of lymphocyte responsiveness induced by polyvalent canine distemper and adenovirus vaccines Phillips etaL Can J Vet Res 1989 53 154-160.For animals previously experiencing adverse vaccine reactions or breeds at higher risk for such reactions e.g. Weimaraners, Akitas, alternatives to booster vaccinations should be considered. These include avoiding boosters except rabies vaccine as required by law annually measuring serum antibody titers against specific canine infectious agents, such as distemper and parvovirus, and homeopathic nosodes. This last option is considered an unconventional treatment that has not been scientifically proven to be efficacious. However, data from Europe and clinical experience in North America support its use and controlled studies are under way to test the method under challenge conditions. If veterinarians choose to use homeopathic nosodes, their clients should be provided with an appropriate disclaimer and written informed consent should be obtained.Health and Genetics Committe ReportDr. Dodds is trying to gather statistical data on hypothyroidism by breed.

Dr. Gary Johnsons work seems to be the most promising to date to begin finding a DNA marker for our Sever Hair Loss Syndrome. What he needs and is now ready to receive are pedigrees of affected males, their parents, and affectednon-affected siblings and half-siblings, as well as off-spring. In other words, as many close relatives you could contact for a simple DNA test. Should your Poms be selected to further study, the next step would be the DNA testing of these individuals. The cost of this testing should be covered by the next phase of this grant. Your anonymity is assured by sending the pedigrees directly to him. He will not release this information upon personal request. For his scientific write-up, the pedigrees will be coded.

I was doing research on the Julo line when I found the Cairndhu line in Ch. Mo Wee Wonder through Brightstone Adonis, a son of Ch. Cairndhu Gold Sun.The Cairndhu Kennels were begun in 1903 by Mr. and Mrs. W. Wylie in Vineland, Ontario, Canada. At the first American Pomeranian Specialty 1911 their Cairndhu Merrymaker was reserve winners. From then on to World War II, Cairndhu dogs were winning at American shows. Mrs. Byron Hoffman wrote in The Popular Pomeranian c. 1938...Cairndhu prefix is known far and wide for producing some of the best and are also known for their brilliant orange color. They [the Wylies] have tMy built up a strain distinctly their own but at times new blood from the best specimens is added. In late years Perivale and Woodfield Diamond King have been introduced. Many kennels of today owe their success to their foundation stock being Cairndhu....to date, fifteen [champions] have been bred at Cairndhu. The Wylies have shown dogs in Canada as consistently as in the states. Thirteen Cairndhu poms have gained American championships.I first began corresponding with the Wylies in 1937. At the time, her Ch. Cairndhu Realization was a big winner in the East. He had been bought by Mrs. Roy Webber, of whom we talk more about later. Ch. Cairndhu Aristocrat, Ch. Cairndhu Gold Ray, and Ch. Cairndhu Brasso were making a name for themselves in the Midwest. She had two outstanding dogs still at home in Canada, Cairndhu Excello and Cairndhu Prospect. They were brothers and later became champions. As has been pointed out, new blood was brought inCh. Cairndhu Realizationprimarily from two outstanding dogs owned by another Canadian, Mr. Copeland. He had imported the brothers Lindy All Gold and Lindy Sensation by Ch. Woodfield Diamond King. All Gold became an American champion and his picture was used for some years to illustrate the Pomeranian in the AKCs The Complete Dog Book. He was the grandsire of Ch. Cairndhu June.

They used the name Premier. They owned Ch. Woodfield Diamond Queen, an English import who was a full sister of Ch. Woodfield May King, sire of Sealand Moneybox. I began a correspondence with them about 1936. They had purchased from the Wylies some excellent dogs. Ch.V' 'W' -s. Ch.

She did some wonderful winning. Then came Ch. Cairndhu Petite which was a sensational winner but not ever bred to my knowlede. Her sire was Ch. Sealand Career. Ch. Cairndhu Realization became one of the Webbers greatest winners. He was best of winners at the Westminster in 1936 and was the sire of Ch. Premier Crown Prince and Ch. Premier Crown Jewel. These two, June and Realization became the foundation stock for the Premier Pomeranians. I met Mrs. Webber at the 1938 APC show and at Westminster. Her Premeier Capricious was winners bitch. Ch. Premier Crown Prince was by Ch. Cairndhu Realization x Ch. Cairndhu June.Ch Cairndhu JuneAmerican Pomeranian Club 21He was a great winner, golden orange sable and weighed about 4 pounds. One of the best was Ch. Premier His Royal Highness. He was purchased by Mrs. Schoenburg and, unfortunately, had an accident and was paralyzed. She adored him, and he spent the rest of his life in a special basket and had daily therapy. Fortunately, she was able to get some puppies from him and he appears in the extended pedigrees of the Bev-Nor, Southland , Precious Petites through Ch. Blairs Solitaire and Ch. Thelcolynn Showstopper. These two lines are also descended from Ch. Caimdhu Gold Sun and Ch. Caimdhu Sunbright.Later Premier winners included Ch. Premier Crown Pippins Joan and the super winning Ch. Premier Little Prize Package, BOB at the Westminster in 1952 and 1953. Package was by Ch. Radiant Golden Career, a son of Ch. Premier Crown Prince and Ch. Premier Pride O Possession which was by Ch.

Veterinarians unfamiliar with toys often mis-diagnose the condition as viral hepatitis or encephalitis. As a toy breeder or pet owner, it is important to recognize the symptoms of hypoglycemia and know how to treat it. Hypoglycemia is easily treatable in the early stages, but fatal if allowed to progress. Marty puppies are lost needlessly to hypoglycemia because of ignorance on the part of their owner or veterinarian.The first sign of hypoglycemia is the puppy slowing down and then acting listless. The puppy will then begin to tremble or shiver. This is a reaction caused as the brain is starved for glucose. The trembling is followed by a blank stare and the puppy lying on his side. He may also experience convulsions. After a time, the puppy will become comatose. His body will be limp, lifeless, and the tongue and gums will be a grayishblue color.

The puppy may even appear to be dead.If caught in the early stages, treatment is simple. Rub Nutri-Cal Caro syrup will do if you have no Nutri-Cal on the puppys gums, under the tongue, and on the roof of the mouth. Caution do not use honey. Get a heating pad or heating blanket and slowly warm the puppy to proper body temperature. If the puppy responds, all is well. Feed a quality canned food right away you may want to mix it with egg yolk and then monitor the puppy to be sure that the condition does not recur. Be sure to eliminate the stress that caused the episode if at all possible.If caught in the more advanced stages, treatment is more complicated. Always assume that the puppy is alive. Rub Nutri-Cal or Caro in the mouth, and carefully insert a small amount in the rectum. Slowly warm the puppy to normal body' temperature 101- 1020F and keep him warm continuously with light heat. If the puppy still does not respond, carefully eye dropper dextrose solution or Caro water into the mouth, a little at a time. Call your veterinarian and inform him that you have a hypoglycemic puppy. He will prepare a warmed dextrose solution to inject subcutaneously and may put your puppy on an IV drip. Request a fecal exam. Your puppy may have intestinal parasites such as worms, coccidia, or giardia that need to be eliminated immediately. A bacterial or viral infection may also be present and antibiotic treatment necessary. If your puppy has been given glucose injections, it is probably a good idea to treat him with antibiotics so that infection does not occur. Your vet will likely recommend a prescription canned food such as ad to give as your puppy recovers. You can finger feed the ad as is from the can and add Pedialyte to the drinking water. You must also keep the puppy warm at all times. Of course useprudence, and do not overheat or dehydration will occur. In severe cases you may need to force feed ad for a time and give Pedialyte with a dropper. Give B vitamins to stimulate appetite. As your puppy improves he will begin to eat on his own and then you can gradually phase back in his regular food.It is important to understand that just because a puppy has an episode of hypoglycemia, it does not mean that the puppy is truly "hypoglycemic." True hypoglycemia is a chronic condition caused by overproduction of insulin by the pancreas. Even though the pancreas may normally function properly, toy puppies can still have an isolated hypoglycemic incident in reaction to stress. Hypoglycemic incidents are almost always preceded by a stress of some kind. Some examples of common stresses include weaning, teething, vaccinations, a change in environment, shipping, over-handling, cold temperatures, intestinal parasites, infections, anorexia, etc. Many puppies simply play too hard and stress their system or forget to eat. I have heard of young males experiencing hypoglycemia when a female in heat is around. They become so worked up over the female that they do not eat and their blood sugar drops.Tiny dogs often do not have the fat reserves to supply adequate glucose in times of stress or when they do not eat regularly. Hypoglycemia most often occurs when the puppy has not eaten for several hours. This is not always the case, however. A puppy can have eaten recently and still show sings of hypoglycemia if his system is stressed and the food has not been digested and assimilated. It is important to "free feed" toy puppies a high quality food. Toy puppies simply have too high of an energy level to be restricted to scheduled feedings. Most do fine if switched to scheduled feedings when they reach adulthood, but they must have access to food and water atAmerican Homeraman uiudall times when they are puppies. If you like to give your puppy canned food, you can schedule the feeding of the canned, but allow access to kibble at all times.A summary of important reminders is as follows1 Always keep Nutri-Cal or Caro Com Syrup on hand. This is the quickest way to revive a hypoglycemic puppy.2 If you ever see your puppy becoming listless, or laying on his side and acting unresponsive IMMEDIATELY mb Nutri-Cal or Caro on his gums, under his tongue, and on the roof of the mouth. Slowly warm him to normal body temperature with a heating pad. Feed him as soon as he responds. Call your veterinarian if the puppy does not quickly respond.3 Keep your puppy from chilling, free of parasites, and minimize stress.4 See that your puppy eats often and maintains a proper body weight5 Do not over-handle your puppy. Be sure to allow him rest time and alone time. Like all babies, puppies need to have a regular schedule of rest, meals, play and potty.Our question for next month is "What is coccidiosis" You may direct new questions or answers to these questions toAnnette Davis 391 N Mink Creek Rd.Pocatello ID 83204 208-234-0932, FAX 208-234-0792 e-mail davisstellarcom.comINBREEDING WHAT WHY HOWBy Ky W. WhiteEveryone has an opinion on breeding. There are as mam- divergent opinions onhow an animal should be bred as there are breeders. I have heard many very successful people say that they never inbreed, others say that they never outcross. These opinions are literally poles apart. Never the twain shall meet.I have heard it spoken, only half in jest, that if it works, it is linebreeding and if it doesnt, it is inbreeding If there is a principle misunderstood by even those who advocate its use-its inbreeding.Inbreeding is the mating of closely related animals to one another. Closely related here, means parent-offspring, full-siblings, half-siblings, aunt-nephew, or uncle-niece. For this discussion, if the two parents are related, but not this closely, we will define it as linebreeding rather than inbreeding.Now that we have defined what it is, WHY DO ITInbreeding is done for a variety of reasons, but two very valid reasons come immediately to mind. The first is to find and identify weaknesses faults in structure, conformation, temperament, etc., or poor recessive genes that may be masked and transferred to another generation of puppies. The second is to concentrate the genes of one very good dog.Every trait that a mammal has is inherited in duplicate. We, and our dogs, get a gene from each of our parents. Our dogs will show one trait that is more like one parent and another trait that is more like the other parent. One parent is dominant for one trait and the other parent would be dominant for the second trait. For example, this explains why a puppy can have the head of one parent and the body of the other.The trait that is exhibited, or that we can see, is referred to as being dominant. The trait that is not exhibited is referred to as being recessive. However, the dog can pass on the recessive traits as easily as it can the dominant ones. This is where a lot of surprises come from. This is the simplest of cases. Many traits are a combination of Continued on page 32Lenette TomeraniansBreeders of fine Poms since 19579Ch. Yolandas N Golden Aires Duke x Ch.

Each of the genes that contribute to the trait or characteristic can be inherited from either parent.By breeding animals that have many of the same genes in common, we can remove many of the variables or possibilities that otherwise might surprise us. On order to breed animals with as many genes in common as possible, you must start with closely related breeding stock.Since many of the gene combinations will be duplicated, we will find that many of the recessive traits will be revealed revealed' not caused. This is a very, very important distinction to make. The recessive genes which may be faults will be unmasked because they will have been duplicated from both the sire and the dam. However, the good traits will also have been inherited in duplicate. If we can find the puppy with the good traits that we are seeking from an inbreeding, then we can be fairly confident that the good traits are there in duplication We will have a puppy that is plenipotent for the good traits.The bad side to this coin is that we may also have puppies that have the faults in duplicate and they must be culled from the breeding pool. They must be neutered and not allowed to reproduce. For this reason inbreeding is not a plan for the faint of heart.A puppy receives half of its genes from each parent, 25 from each grandparent, 12.5 from each great-grandparent, etc. If we breed a dog to his daughter, the resulting puppies will receive 50 of their genes from their sire. Their dam is already 50 of the sire, so the puppies will have 75 of their genes contributed by their father who is also the grandfather. This makes them actually more related to their sire than their dam, who is also their half-sister. If one of these second generation bitches is bred back to the same sire, he would then becontributing 87.5 of the genetic makeup of that litter of pups.When the Santa Gertrudis breed of cattle were being developed in South Texas, the ideal bull was developed. He was bred to his daughter and to her daughter and to her daughter for six successive generations to set the breed type. Finally, the last generation produced a cow that had 127128ths of its genetic material donated by the original bull. This is as close to cloning as we can come.Problems The Santa Gertrudis is one of the hardiest and largest of all breeds of cattle. Descendant cattle were just as big and had the same temperament as the original stock. There was no loss of size or of good temperaments resulting from this type of concentrated inbreeding. Since you are not introducing any new combinations. This method cannot cause faults. It will, however, allow you to identify them and then remove them from the existing breeding stock.This brings to mind a second notion that I have often heard. I hear people tell how many different times a kennel name appears in a pedigree and they consider that a sign of inbreeding or line breeding. If you elect to inbreed, you must select a dog upon which to concentrate your efforts, not a kennel.It is not possible to inbreed to two or three dogs simultaneously. Just because a dog carries a kennel name in its pedigree several times does not mean that it has been linebred or inbred. I have heard some people tout their dogs as being of a certain line or kennel because of one of its great-grandparents. All that tells me is that 78 of the dogs genes came from somewhere else. I know of some dogs that are not any closer related to a prominent stud dog than seven generations, or a great-great-great-great-great-grandparent. A dog in that generation is only one of 128 ancestors in the 7th generation. Yet, due to the inbreeding and the many times that theAmerican Pomeranian Club 33dog appeared in the puppys pedigree in the 7th, 8 , 9th. and 10th generations, he still accounted for 28 of the genetic makeup of the puppy. With inbreeding, a dog can still have a significant impact upon the breed long, long after it has passed away. Someone with a dominant, ideal stud dog should consider inbreeding to save as much of his genes as possible for future generations. You may have a dog that meets your ideal of the breed standard or you may be able to find the dog that you think most closely matches the standard and breed to it.How to plan a program to reproduce that dog First study the pedigrees of some of our best dogs and you will be able to use this pedigree as a blueprint to follow. Second, breed a bitch to this ideal dog. Hopefully, the bitch will have some common ancestry. Third, take the best bitch puppy of the resulting litter that does not have faults in common with the sire and breed her back to her fathergrandfather. You should then get puppies in this second generation that are 75 of the sire and have very few faults in common with their sire. Our dogs do not often live long enough to breed those puppies back to the sire again. From here you must search out a sibling or half-sibling that, again, does not have any common faults and breed them. This will keep the genetic makeup of the original sire well over 50 in any puppies that you produce and you will be able to see this dogs good qualities repeated over and over again.Outcrossing should be done judiciously, as you are reintroducing many variables. You may get some outstanding puppies you may also be masking some recessives that will not crop up again for several generations.One good pedigree that I have seen and studied took a half-brotherhalf-sister cross and produced two dogs and a bitch. The bitch was bred to one of her littermates and produced a bitch puppy. This secondgeneration bitch puppy was then bred back to her double uncle, the Iittermate of both of her parents. There are several instances of this type of breeding, or a slight variation of it, in all the pre-eminent lines in the breed. This breeds success, if done with study and the fortitude to neuter the undesirable ones.I realize that many will see an article on inbreeding and think of taboos and that it is a program that can be disastrous. Any breeding program will breed mediocrity, if it is done haphazardly without thought, training and study.Patience is the key. No breeding program is going to turn out the ultimate dog after only one generation, unless you are very, very fortunate. What you should see, though, is a consistent improvement generation to generation. With inbreeding, you should also see uniformity and consistency within a litter. Often, you will see more uniformity from an inbred litter than one from another type of breeding simply because there are fewer variables introduced in the genetic makeup of the puppies. As with any breeding program, you must ensure that the uniformity you seek is of high quality rather than just the average. Breeding average dogs should not be anyones goal.Ky W.

And the sanitation suggestions can not be emphasized enough.Regarding the statement, there is little information available on treatment of the bacteria in a kennel situation, may I suggest two very respected references-Kirks Current Veterinary Therapy and Ettingers Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine.specific scientific name of bacteria which is the subject of this article is an ubiquitous found everywhere organism that can be isolated from nearly all mammalian and avian species. More recent studies do find significantly higher prevalence rates in diarrheic animals. The fecal-oral route of transmission of C. jejuni is probably most important in pets. High fecal C. isolation rates have been identified in young animals, in animals with concurrent salmonelosis, parvoviral enteritis, and gastrointestinal parasites, and in stressed or debilitated animals. The association of C. jejuni infections with immunoincompetence and other disease states suggests that the organism is an opportunistic pathogen that may act synergistically with other enteric pathogens.This information is very important because it is necessary to find the primary cause of enteritis and to understand the nature of the bug. Otherwise, if you solely treat the opportunistic bacteria, it will return and return. You win the battle but not the war.If you are hunting for the incorrect sources of contamination, you might fail to eradicate the real cause. Raw hamburger should not be the culprit this time. If you were talking about Ecoli, we have another consideration and topic altogether.Restated, in practical terms, campylobacteria can be found in virtually all guts. It is not until this bacteria count exceeds a certain level that it causes diarrhea and needs to be treated. But the reason that the Campy count elevates is that there is another problem causing this imbalance such as parasites. It is opportunistic. You definitely need to address the other problem and might possibly need to treat for Campy before complete recovery can be made.Forever Yours,Marge KranzfelderFrom Kirk, Vol. X, p 994, C. jejuni theAmerican Pomeranian Club 37by Ellen TakayamaALOHA from Hawaii, home of the Woodrose Kennels of Clarice, Stanley, and Yvette Oganeku. This is the second kennel visit to Woodrose, and if you remember their first visit in the August, 1979 issue, you are certainly not a newcomer to the breed. I should also mention that Woodrose was the first kennel from Hawaii to be honored with a kennel visit.THE BEGINNINGTheir introduction to the breed was in 1967 when Clarice purchased her first Pom, a male, from local breeder, Janet Cox. At that time, Yvette was a toddler and their son Darrin was not yet bom. In 1971, Clarice went back to Janet to purchase two bitches. One of thesebitches, Yurikos Golden Tresses, was the dam of their early home bred champions--Ch. Woodroses Free N Easy. The other, Rosewoods Mity Sweet O Tim Sun, became their first champion in 1973. By this time they were addicted to dog shows and the betterment of the breed through their breeding program. It was through correspondence with Nina Epps that Clarice learned of Mary Hammond of Rosewood kennels. She obtained two dogs and two bitches from Mary of Great Elms and Van Hoozer lines. One of these bitches became their second champion, Ch. Rosewoods Dragonfly Angel. The other bitch, Rosewoods Bit of Little Eddie, was bred to Rosewoods Little Don Juan and produced their all time favorite, Ch. Woodroses Tuff Stuff, who went on to\ r\ rwV__Yvette and Ch.

Tuff Stuff was also the sire of Ch. Woodroses Free N Easy who became top toy dog the following year.Clarice then struck up a friendship with Norma Creider of the renowned Creider Kennels in Oklahoma. For a number of years, Clarice worked exclusively with Norma importing several champions as well as brood bitches. Two outstanding male champions brought in were Ch. Creiders Bold Venture, a lovely sable, and Ch. Creiders Ebony Masterpiece, a black. Other Creider dogs purchased as puppies which they finished were Creiders Jason of Woodrose, a black shown at Westminster before it became closed to non-champions. Jason was shown in the States and completed his championship before coming to Hawaii. Ch. Creiders Bound for Glory was shown by Nadine Hersil to his championship in the States before coming to Hawaii. He is the sire of their current winner, BISA Ch. Woodroses Little Big Man, better known as Chance. Chance is not only their first homebred Best in Show winner, but to top it off, he was handled in the classes by his co-owner,Cindy Edlao, to a Best of Breed from the puppy class over some outstanding specials. Yvette then took him on to Group One and Best in Show competing against some of the top dogs in Hawaii being shown by handlers brought in especially for the occasion. To date Chance is the only Pom in Hawaii to win Best in Show as a puppy. Ch. Creiders Prince Dom Perignon was imported by Clarice who offered Margo Koga a co-ownership on this dog. They co-owned Peri until he finished his championship in Hawaii. Peri went on to become Hawaiis top dog in 1994 and went on nationally to become number 2 Pom in 1995 and number 1 Pom in 1996.All of us who have ever done any breeding know that Pomeranians are known as the heartbreak breed. After being frustrated with al the whelping problems and puppy mortalities, Clarice concentrated her efforts on her other breed, the Shih Tzu. They had the top Shih Tzus in the islands for seven consecutive years, 1988 to 1994. They are especially proud of the fact that both of their winners were home breds which were breederownerhandled to all their wins.ij 1Ellen Takayama with Ch.

Woodroses Tobasco Cat.1990 was an especially good year for Woodrose Kennels. Not only did they win their first two BISs with Ch. Woodroses Saint I Aint who went on to become top show dog in Hawaii, but our local dog magazine, the Dio the Hawaiian word for dog also voted Yvette the outstanding female handler of the year in Hawaii. This win was veiy much appreciated as the votes came from her peers and fellow competitors. Their other Shih Tzu winner was Ch. Woodroses Forever Yours better known as Scrappy. Scrappy was number 2 toy dog in Hawaii for two consecutive years1992 and 1993, and was also number 8 dog and number 10 dog all breeds for those two years. Scrappy was also number 7 toy dog in 1994 before he was retired.Clarice did return to concentrating her efforts on her Pomeranian breeding program by importing several dogs from different breeders in the early 1990s. Ch. Sandtown Teddy Bear was brought in and went on to become number 1 Pom in 1992 and number 5 toy dog in Hawaii. Teddy- Bear was instrumental in producing sound brood bitches. He was also the sire of Ch. China Girl Valentine, Ch. WoodrosesGin N Vermouth, Ch. Woodroses Hana Hou Rusty, and Ch. Woodroses Nic Reg Totoro. Another dog imported and finishing his championship in Hawaii was Ch. Aldens Cajun Spice O Woodrose. Spice is the sire of Ch. Woodroses Tobasco Cat who was shown to his championship by Jeanne Blank and is now owned by Mr. Wang Tai Chan of Hong Kong. The last few imports were from Sharon Hanson of Jan-Shar Kennels. Ch. Jan-Shars Bad Bad Leroy Brown Lee and Ch. Jan-Shars Magic Touch Magic were shown to their championships by Nadine Hersil before being sent to Hawaii. Ch. Jan-Shars Make Mine A Double Jigger completed his championship in Hawaii handled by Yvette. Lee is co-owned with Lisa Mitsunaga and went on to become number 7 toy dog in Hawaii in 1996. He has won 3 group firsts as well as other group placements and has also been the Best of Breed winner at the Pomeranian Club of Hawaiis last two specialty shows.The past two years have been very rewarding for the Oganekus.

After all she has been handling from the age of seven and has over 25 years of handling experience. Baby Ashley is a joy to both her parents and grandparents and can be seen at all the dog shows including the ones on the neighboring islands, Maui and Hawaii. Since Yvette is busily grooming and handling dogs at the shows, babysitting assignments are usually split between daddy Winston and grandmom Clarice. Earlier this year their beautiful homebred Pom puppy which they co-own with Cindy Edlao won a group I from the puppy class at out West Oahu Kennel Club and then on to win two more group ones at the Orchid Isle Dog Fanciers and a Best in Show all from the puppy class. What a wonderful way to finish It is so rewarding to see a local home bred dog being handled by its breeder achieving the ultimate win. With some local fanciers spending thousands of dollars each weekend bringing in big time handlers, it is encouraging to see that some judges still put up the dog.The Oanekus are very proud to be thebreeders of 15 champions and the ownerof 13 which they finished.

Jan-Shar s Make Mine a DoubleWoodrose is also proud to have bred and finished 16 Shih Tzus and 3 Pugs.A lot has happened since Woodrose Kennels last visit in 1979. At that time they had bred and finished 3 champions and had purchased and finished an additional 2 champions. This was quite a feat as there were only two all-breed shows a year when Woodrose first began showing dogs. By 1979, the islands had 6 shows a year. They have since finished an additional 12 homebred champions and another 11 which they purchased. They have achieved these numbers in spite of the fact that they were quite inactive in Poms in the 1980s when they concentrated their efforts in their other breed. They have won 3 Best in Showswith their home bieds. Two were with their Shih Tzu, Ch. Woodroses Saint I Aint and the latest with their Pomeranian, Ch. Woodroses Little Big Man.Yvette was recognized for her handling skills by her fellow competitors and was awarded the first Hawaii outstanding female handler of the year. Yvette also presented Clarice and Stanley with their first grandchild, the Best in Show Baby Ashley, who has brought so much joy and happiness to their lives. 1997 marks the 30th year that the Oganekus have been involved with Pomeranians. All of their hard work has paid off as Woodrose Kennels is truly one of the highest respected kennels in the islands.The word ALOHA has three meanings-heOo, farewell, and I love you. In closing I would like to say Aloha from Paradise and thank you for taking the time to visit Woodrose Kennels again.v 'U-iYvette and Ch.

He is one of the original founders of the Classic Toy Dog Club of Western Mass. Currently, he is the Public Education Coordinator for the Silky Terrier Club of America, and the Corresponding Secretary for the Toy Dog Club of Central Florida.Congratulations to the American Pomeranian Club for the outstanding job in holding the Summer National Specialty in conjunction with the Central Carolina Pomeranian Clubs Fall Specialty, the Columbia KC, and the Piedmont KC shows in Charlotte, NC. Having run two national specialties for the Silky Terrier Club of America, I am well aware of how much work is involved in holding a successful weekend. Ed and Dot Martin and their entire committee did a fantastic job in making the weekend successfulWhen I accepted the assignment to judge the APC Sweepstakes, the entry was estimated to be 40 entries. Despite being approved by AKC to judge 6 breeds and having judged Poms in matches for over 26 years including two specialty matches for the CCPC, I was still relatively unknown by most of the Pom world. The large entry of 53 26-27 was extremely flattering and I thank everyone for entering.I knew that I would have my hands full with some of the best young Poms in the country. Most of the classes were highly competitive with quality exhibits. A few specimens were heavily sculptured. This sculpturing totally destroyed the overall general appearance and the coat texture. Although there were many excellent moving dogs, I feel the breeders need to continue to strive to improve this area.It was an honor and a privilege to judge the sweepstakes.

Therefore, type must refer to that unique set of characteristics that will distinguish a given animal from another recognized breed, or a mongrel on the street. That is pretty concise. In the first part of this article I stated that the subject of type has probably as many answers and methods of arriving at a conclusion as any other part in the dog fancy. I can reiterate that statement in referring to the Standard of the breed, for I am convinced there would be considerably different interpretation in every one of the parts of the written words of the Standard for the Pomeranian as there are differences in people. This cannot be condemned for it is healthy. Just mention Standards to any breeder or judge and see how fast that ole can of worms opens.In my opinion, the first and most important requisite in picking or choosing type is that we must have sincere dedication to the breed in the first place. One must be very serious in his purpose. He must have the courage to continue relentlessly in the real pursuit of the "unattainable goal"--the perfect Pomeranian. One must be able to picture and see in his own mind the ideal toward which to strive. One must study the breed standard and the anatomy of the dog One must also, with the help of the breed standard, conjure up a vision which represents the ideal Pomeranian. A beautiful dog most assuredly gives as much pleasure as a great sculpture or a lovely painting. Yet, no sculptor or artist would begin their work without a definite concept of what he is attempting to create. They may fall short of the ideal, but the knowledge attained in the process also enables him to an approximation of his ideal. In dogs, or any other living creature, we must relate to objectivity, as there is no perfect specimen. One must clearly realize and understand that type is the whole or entire makeup of the dog, and not just one or two favorite features. A superior head does not make type a long and bushy tail does not maketype. A superior head needs to be attached to a proper neck and body that is well proportioned and correctly built for itself one that is covered with a proper amount of coat of a proper texture and on a dog that moves in the proper manner for its own breed. In general, it is the all around excellence in proper proportion to itself.Having established in your mind the ideal type, you must also have the courage not to be swayed by the current ring fashion or fad. Almost every breederexhibitor seems to have passed through a few of these. The Pomeranian who appears to the ringside judges to have a ton of coat cold be the result of artful grooming, when n fact he very well might have incorrect texture for Pom. A Poodle that appears to be ultra short in back, if it is actually short in its entire back, ribs and loin could very well have a reached back under its coat. However, in gaiting you may be able to better understand the facts involved. But gait is a subject that is best dealt with at some future time. In essence, what is incorrect for one breed, might be totally correct and desirable in another.We will always find those who will want to try to establish their own Pom according to their interpretation which may be correct to them, but the over-all appearance could lack the balance, symmetry, correct anatomy, model, type or any other part which really makes a Pomeranian unique among purebred dogs. In essence, you would have lost breed type.Over emphasis on extremes or ring fashions whatever you want to term them cannot play a part in any breed without showing some damage. If you build what you like in the Kuvasz for instance, that being the smaller type, and continually breed the smallest to the smallest, in a few short generations you may end up with those that will be unshowable for they will not come up to the required breed size as set forth in their Standard. If one only breeds Bulldogs with very light colored noses because they are more pleasing to you, you soon may have a severe disqualification forAmerican Pomeranian Club 69the breed. In the Doberman Pinscher standard, they require 42 correctly placed teeth and an overshot mouth of more the 316th of an inch is a disqualifying fault. To continue to breed head extremes will perhaps eventually produce missing teeth and incomplete denture, preventing you from placing your breeding results in the ring. After all, isnt the breed ring the showcase for your breeding efforts Dont you want to be there and winning Remember, we are working on a general plan that is a model, and that is symmetrical for the breedHandlers, both professional and the breederexhibitor, and judges all play an important role in this effort. Judges can only evaluate and place what you present to them. They cannot see or critique a pedigree. As breeders, we must constantly be aware of the part extremes play in the finishing touches, or as part of what is commonly known as "frosting on the cake." But they can be dangerous. Our breed could someday be in serious trouble that could be irreversible unless we recognize the difference between extremes and correct structure. Remember, the Pomeranian must be just as structurally correct according to its Standard as the Great Dane is to theirs, but type will distinguish the difference.To some, what they read in the words of the breed Standard will appear far different to them than what they actually see in the ring, but if we all strive to breed as closely to this guideline as possible, perhaps eventually we will not confuse the newcomers as much as it appears we do now. We do not want to create a look that will cause everyone to "go for it" unless the most important factor of symmetry is that entire Pom. We must never lose sight of the total dog A dog should be in good proportion. Do not lose sight of balance. Always remember that type is one key factor, but symmetry and balance in the end make up the total dog. Be careful not to use symmetry when you actually mean balance.I was once told by a newcomer that whatthey though they wanted in a Pom before reading the breed standard was in the end far different after having read it. Think about that and then play a game with yourself. Have someone read slowly each part of the Standard while you are drawing what the words say and mean to you. Did you come up with anything close to what you thought you wanted in a Pom Does the picture relate closely to what you have in your own Poms Is it what you think a Pom should be Is it even close to what is winning today For some it will be, for others it will not. Being an artist has little to do with it, so dont use this as a cop out. Few of us are gifted to truly be creative and correct in drawing even a straight line, let alone a visual rendering.Reprintedfrom July, 1988 Pom ReviewCORRECTIONS to the AUGUST, 1997, ISSUEIn the Pomeranian Club of Hawaii show report, page 41, the Best of Breed photo is of the wrong dog.

Vernon, EL 62864During my engagement to my husband, Brace, I researched toy breeds and fell in love with the tiny size and adorable fox face of the Pomeranian. After many phone calls and visits to area breeders, we purchased our first pet Pom who became our only child from Fame Kennels owned by Brenda Segelken. Penny Anne passed away at the age of eleven and was the many times great aunt of Ch. Fame Great Expectation, Ch Fame Gift of the Spirit and Ch Fame Mon Sheree Amore.Brace and I are now the proud parents of two show Poms another Fame, Fame Mr. Personality Percy and Raines Rhett Butlers Dream Scarlett. Both are true companions and best friends and even though Scarlett looks like a true Janesa, her personality reminds me more and more of our beloved Penny Anne every day. And, from the look on Scarletts face when I brought him home, there isnt another guy in the world who could ever compare to her Percy FameI first became interested in the APC when I attended the Summer Specialty last year in Washington State with Scarlett and Brenda Segelken I cant describe the unspeakable joy I felt when I watched Brenda and Scarlett win Scarletts class all three days I was the proud Mom crying in the background.Many of the breeders and handlers I had met were also members of the APC and gave me numerous reasons why I should apply for membership.My future goals include seeing both Percy and Scarlett finished and hopefully continuing Scarletts pedigree of champions by breeding her with another Janesa. As each new generation appears, I plan to continue conformation training,bhandling some myself and attending many APC shows and activities with the Pom friends I owe a world of thanks to for their knowledge and encouragement.Malassezia Pachydermatitis and Associated DermatitisOne Cause of Severe Hair Loss by Charlotte CreedMalassezia yeasts are associated with inflammation of the ear canal, areas of the skin that can rub together i.e. neck, groin, arm pit, and generalized seborrheic dermatitis in dogs.Dr. Warren Jourbet, my veterinarian, has been working with what they call the black skin in show Persian cats. The conditions are similar to the ones we label as Severe Hair Loss Syndrome. He has consulted with Dr. Karen Morriello, a board certified dermatologist associated with several veterinary medical schools. Dr. Jourbert related that although Malassezia was mentioned in veterinarian school, it has been just recently recognized as a cause of severe hair loss and therefore been frequently overlooked during diagnosis. Dr. Jourbert contacted the veterinary school to find out how to culture this particular yeast.I had taken two seven-year old dogs to him for hair loss. They had not had any previous hair problems. I also had a male and a female that seemed to be in early stages of this problem. Their symptoms appeared similar to cats Dr. Jourbert was studying and treating. They were diagnosed with the yeast infection Malassezia.Unless you look closely and frequently at your animals skin through the coat, it is easy to miss the beginning stages. Usually hair loss first gets your attention
