A MICHIGAN 48310 810979-6749 - __________________________________ - iHoliday Dangers BewareWith Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Chanukah right around the comer, youve probably got a million things on your mind. Heres one you should add to the list your dogs safety during the holiday season. Just a few simple precautions, however, are enough to ensure that the holidays will be happy, healthy ones for your canine companion.Thwarting Thanksgiving ThreatsThe sight and smell of the perfectly roasted turkey are the essence of Thanksgiving, and your dog is likely to be just as enticed by the aromas as you are. But the typical Thanksgiving meal could be lethal for your dog. First rule for an incident-free Turkey Day Keep your dog and your meal apart.The biggest threat to dogs at Thanksgiving is overeating greasy stuff, says John Saidla, DVM, director of continuing education at Cornell Universitys College of Veterinary Medicine.While scarfing down a large turkey dinner may cause your dog to have gastrointestinal upset-and certainly constitutes an annoying behavioral problem-overloading on fat and grease can be far more insidious. Acute pancreatitis, which, Dr. Saidla says, comes on in a very short period of time, is a condition in which the dogs pancreas starts to digest itself. The initial symptoms are abdominal pain and vomiting, and the dog may subsequently go into shock. This is a dire emergency that requires veterinary intervention immediately.So keep in mind during the holidaysthat greasy food is your dogs arch TTr 18Saidla puts it, greasy food kills them deader than doornails.Another potential problem is chocolate, which, Dr. Saidla says, may or may not be toxic to your dog. In some cases, even a small amount of chocolate, which contains theobromine and caffeine, can be harmful. Rapid breathing and hyperactivity are signs of reactions to chocolate.Dispose of aluminum foil from the turkey and other food carefully. Your dog will lick the fat off the foil if she can gel to it, and may even swallow the foil, which can cause an intestinal obstruction.Although young turkey bones arenl likely to splinter, says Dr.Saidla, they car cause an impaction in your dogs intestines.The best bet is to keep your dog fai from the kitchen and dining room table Make sure well-meaning guests dont feet your dog table scraps, and make sure yoi dispose of the turkey carcass an aluminum foil wrap as quickly an thoroughly as possible.Continued Vigilance at Chanukah and ChristmasThe winter holidays are fraught wit potential perils for your dog. Dr.Saidl says that electrocution is a major problen Especially with puppies who tend to chei on wires. Dogs dont sustai electrocution very well, he states, addin that it is imperative to unplug wires befoi handling a dog whos been shocke otherwise you might also get a shock then seek immediate veterinary care ft the dog.The ornaments may break and injuj paws decorative toys or ornaments a cause an impaction if Rover decides chew or swallow them. If you discov toys are missing, Dr. Saidla advisePomeranian ReviewAmerican Pomeranian Club 9vatch your dog if he starts vomiting, he lay have eaten them.Take care with lighted candles, since sagging tails can knock them over, pilling hot wax or even causing a fire. Holiday plants, like holly, mistletoe, nd poinsettias can be a problem if your og eats them, causing vomiting or rorse. Keep the plants out of reach. Finally, if youre thinking about giving puppy as a gift, think twice Dr. Saidla Ivises against it. Too many distractions id potential hazards make the holiday ason a less-than-optimal time to troduce a young dog to a new home.Top Holiday Threats to Your Dog Fatty, greasy food Can cause pancreatitis. Hobday chocolate Potentially toxic. Discarded aluminum foil wrap May be covered in grease. Can become impacted in the intestine if swallowed. Electric wires on tree and decorations Can electrocute dogs if they chew them. Tree ornaments and toys Can cause intestinal blockage and injures you swallowed.Lighted candles Can cause bums from hot wax. or fires.Hobday plants Potenbally toxic.Taken from November, 1997, Dog Watch.NoticeThe 1998 American Pomeranian Club membership dues are due rnd payable.

A change in normal stools is a red flag that something is amiss. A common intestinal disease among dogs in coccidiosis. Coccidia are parasitic protozoans single celled organisms found in the intestinal tract of many animals, including dogs. Coccidiosis causes severe losses of agricultural animals each year, especially calves and foul. It is highly contagious and extremely difficult to eradicate. In dogs, the first symptoms are soft stools that contain yellowish mucous and have a characteristic sweet odor similar to freshly cut alfalfa. The infected animals eyes are often watery and the coat becomes dull and rough. As damage to the mucous lining of the intestines progresses, a secondary bacterial infection sets in and the stools begin to smell foul and often contain large amounts of mucous and blood. Infected dogs often eat each others stools. Symptoms are similar to the protozoan infection Giardia, except that in Giardia infections, the stools are light colored and have a "greasy" consistency. It is not uncommon for more than one species of parasitic protozoan to occur at the same tune. Because cysts are shed intermittently, it can be very difficult to confirm protozoan infections by fecal examination.Has your Pomeranian Review Subscription expiredCoccidiosis is spread when an animal ingests infective cvsts that are nasseH intnuwicleoduwwtelTIv YArMVs V '1best of breed VSOMERSET z HILLSVT4kennel _ v f v\club lNA\.T fNVe aJfctk.'Sampson'Ch.

Cysts may be passed by animals with an active infection as well as carriers that show no clinical signs but continue to harbor infection. There is a common misconception that coccidiosis is only a problem in filthy and crowded kennels. This is simply not the case. Certainly filth and overcrowding will accentuate any disease, but coccidiosis can become a problem in even the cleanest of kennels. It is best treatedtrade name Panacur 50 mg.kg. given for three days in a row and then repeated at one week intervals until the infection clears generally 3-4 weeks. Pease note Although University studies have shown that fenbendazole is an effective treatment for Giardia, it isIt is important to clean all fecal matter promptly and disinfect all kennel surfaces, bedding, and toys daily. Coccidia are not destroyed by Chlorox and many other disinfectants. It has been shown that they are readily destroyed by Ammonia and old fashioned Lysol Concentrate 1 part Ammonia or Lysol to 10 parts water. Do not use plastic food or water dishes. Coccidia can stay in the crevices. Use stainless steel, crock style, or glass food and water dishes. Change drinking water often and clean the foodwater dishes with a mild Ammonia solution regularly. Separate all infected dogs as much as possible. It is imperative that you do not allow the infected animal to become dehydrated. Supportive care and oral electrolyte solutions are helpful. Keep the animal warm and away from drafts. B Vitamins may not be given during the Albon treatment. Albon works by inhibiting folio acid, therefore B Vitamin supplements with folio acid will negate its action. Zinc and Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids may be given duringeffects of Albon is that it destroys beneficial intestinal bacteria leaving the animal more susceptible to pathogens. During and after treatment with Albon, it is important to give a high potency Probiotic beneficial microbial supplement.

All mammal DNA share some common information in research-mice, man, and canine genomes are being cross referenced. The most is known of the mice genome. The fact that all mammals share some common DNA codes points out the impossibility of someone taunting, My line has no genetic problems. There are some diseases or conditions common or very similar to all mammals If an unlucky combination of genes happens to occur, a problem will manifest itself seemingly out of nowhere. An answer will not come from studying pedigrees in this case.Usually people think any kind of testing is done with the purpose of eliminating members of the gene pool. The state of our art today is that if your dog tests positive as carrying a trait such as hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism, etc., he is eliminated from your breeding program entirely. Some diseases do not manifest themselves until well after the common breeding age. In the future, with DNA testing, diagnosis can take place early for both treatment or breeding considerations. It could allow us to continue to use carriers. When we can successfully read DNA of an affected individual, carrier, or clear individual on a specific problem, we will be able to plan a breeding with knowledge of this. Breeding a carrier to a clear individual will not produce an affected individual of a recessive trait. The next generation can be retested and breeding planned accordingly so as not to produce an affected individual. This can be repeated until a clear and typy individual isDr. Battaglias seminar on Breeding Better Dogs, usually problems within a breed are known to affect the typiest of individuals. This often is because a typy individual carrying this problem was used extensively by the breed without any problem appearing until many generations later. Most problems are polygenetic. For some rare breeds small gene pools, eliminating every individual with a problem would eliminate the type for which they are striving, if not the entire breed. We would now be able tc work on type and good health simultaneously.Mapping the genome can be thought ol as a similar process as originally mapping our globe. First we had explorers map the larger units of continents and water. Ther we drew in country boundaries. We nov can further subdivide into states, counties cities, neighborhoods, streets, and finalh addresses. In the early days each explore added information to a previous map making it easier for the next explorer tc follow.Our early explorers of the genomi searched for the PRA genes. Dr. Gu Aguirre is our Dr. Livingston of genes, h other words, he found the PRA needles in the chromosome haystack. Now, a the genome markers are establishei street signs, tomorrows search fo specific areas will be more readily found.There is still much more middle groum of the genome to be explored ani information gathered. That is why th AKC has contracted with PE Zoogen t come to Nationals to gather DNy samples. Not for specifically finding win hidden faults or ailments your dog ha but rather to study the canine genome c breeds. Presently, we can not differential the wolf-hybrid from domestic dog b DNA, let alone breed discriminatioi However, proof of parentage caAmerican Pomeranian Club 17wonderful tool of our AKC record-keeping inspection process.Just as we realize we must work together as a club to share information to solve our problems too complex for any one individual, we see we should network with other parent clubs to share information and combine research dollars. This is necessary financially considering the cost of research. The Canine Health Foundation has recognized these needs and is well on its way to being a leading force in finding answers to our canine health issues. We must support this effort individually and as a club.Health Genetics Committee ReportI was able to speak briefly with Dr. Jary Johnson, one of the speakers in St. ^ouis. I still need to get an information lacket to him in regards to the Severe fair Loss Syndrome in Pomeranians, ^gain, I ask for pedigrees of affected logs and their affected and unaffected elatives to be sent to the address ublished in the previous Review.I recommend that we volunteer for the i.KC DNA sample program to be held at ne of our future Nationals, and that we upport the Canine Health Foundation.The networking progress is starting to motion. Upon my return from St. Louis, nd APC member called me as three of er Poms have been diagnosed with a cndition heretofore not found in Poms, y my having a list of Breed health intacts, I was able to supply the name of Le researcher her Vet should contact for ie latest information available.Ive also had several very good phone inversations with individuals requesting formation about the Severe Hair Loss n drome. This kind of oss-information is wonderful. I need to still dont know for sure if we have only one genetic make-up for which we are searching, or several occurrences with similar appearing symptoms. I was very impressed with the openness and willingness to co-operate of these individuals. With this kind of attitude, we will find answers \From The Skeptic TankGoring Oxen As We GoByDr. Al GrossmanAll is well in life as we go along until an event occurs that shakes us up. It could be as simple as the March Gazette which has changed the ratings for a major in our breed in our zone so that it is nigh on impossible to achieve. Or it could be another change in the requirements for applying for your judges license just as you have finished filling out the voluminous forms for the old one. Then comes a might roar. HOW COULD THEY DO THIS Your ox has been gored and you are not going to take this lightly. Now of course if you had been paying attention you would have seen the entries creeping up in your breed so you may have anticipated a change in the point ratings. Changes in the judging procedure come along at such a rapid rate that also should have been anticipated. That will teach you not to procrastinate-that form was ready to go weeks ago but you still had doubts as to whether you would apply or not.Most of us tend not to notice events that will impact our lives until they are thrust upon us.

How in the H did that get on there. They cant do that to me However, if you had read the local paper and seen that the mayor had appointed a task force seven months ago to develop a cost effective scheme for doing this, it would not have come as such a shock.Most of us go through life viewing the road just in front of our windshield instead of looking up just under our rear view mirror to see the road ahead and be able to anticipate what was developing before catastrophe struck. As a pilot I was taught to look around every five minutes and pretend my engine had just conked out and calculate where and how was I going to land this light aircraft. I had to view the terrain, check altitude and wind direction and decide how I was going to get down in one piece.In the dog world we seem to go along blithely in our own little world and not let the real world intrude. When we get a litter of puppies with cleft palates or other serious problems, do we begin to investigate the causes Do we check the pedigrees of sire and dam and check to find out from others if such problems occurred in similar matings Do we just check it off to bad luck and repeat the breeding because it seems like such a good nick What do good breeders doWhat if PRA is running rampant in our breed and you learn that one of your popular stud dogs has sired offspring that have come down with this affliction Do you sweep it under the rug and not inform others who have bred to your dog of the possible problem Do you remove this carrier from the gene pool It is your Ox, what do you do A better question is what should you doLet us look at the people who have bought these puppies from the afflictedturn will unknowingly pass these genetic afflictions on to the next generation. By this time everyones Ox is being gored and a mighty roar goes up from the fancy. Do you want to be the object of their rage and derisionMost of us want to be left alone and not have unwanted events intrude upon our lives. We dont want our boat rocked. Lifes ruts are great as long as we are comfortable in them. Live and let live-all these cliches are used every day and describe a day-to-day existence that really doesnt exist. Life is full of change. Most are so small and gradual that they sort of creep up on you without your realizing they have happened. Small steps are easier to handle. We have time to make modest adjustments and, generally, they are not life disrupting. When a major change is thrust upon us we are just not ready for it. However, there is no way to leap across a gorge in small steps. It takes one giant leap. So major change is hard to handle.Let us look at the AKC move to North Carolina in this light. The proposals before the AKC Board of Directors were to move the whole operation to the Carolinas, keep everything now in New York there for the foreseeable future or move to Louisville, KY. The Board hit the brakes hard They deadlocked. No decision The CEO then made a unilateral decision, which was his prerogative. Move everything except the administrative staff, the Library and the Gazette to North Carolina.Many, many Oxes were gored. Many, many people were offended. Pundits came out of the woodwork and, depending upon their bent, proclaimed this to be the worst thing AKC had ever done or credited the CEO with the wisdom of Solomon. What ever the case,American Pomeranian Club 21steps. Can it be done Will it cause such problems that his administration will be threatened Time will tell.In many cases, like the AKC matter, there will be an outcry from those whose position was not upheld. Goring Oxes can be noisy and messy. Unfortunately, there are not too many occasions in life where it is a win win situation. It is much to be hoped for but seldom achieved. In most cases there are winners and losers. In one breed a standard change on one point has been festering for 20 years and six votes, all defeated. Another vote is in the offing.The proponents of the change have really felt their Ox was gored Twenty years is a long time to rage and fulminate.Maybe all of us should sign up for a defensive driving course. The lessons taught in these courses focus on looking ahead and anticipating what might happen by seeing far enough ahead to be prepared for any eventuality. Lets all adopt the Boy Scout motto BE PREPARED" and let the Oxen rest in peace.Dr. Grossman is a noted Sporting Group Judge and the Publisher of Doral PublishingNew ChampionsOctober and November AKC Awards MagazineAbsolute's Driving Miss Hanson B by Ch.

Effingham, llinois, is centrally located between St. reuis, Missouri and Indianapolis, ndiana-a great location for numerous log showsPhil and I are originally from DuQuoin, small town in southern Illinois, where re met my first day in Kindergarten.

I have many time consuming iterests church involvement, grand kids, rawing, oil painting, sewing, antiques, omputers, orchids, photography, and ofcourse, the Poms I collect anything Pomeranian and have a large collection of kerosene lamps.

Ever heard the Beach Boys song, "Shes so fine, my 409"Most people arent aware that I claim to be a "one man show." I am proud to breed, own and handle most of my Poms.I am my own beautician. I style, cut, perm my hair, and create my acrylic nails. I do most alterations on my clothing petite clothing isnt short enough when you are under 5 foot tall.When Dudley asked if I would like to be featured in the DecemberJanuary Review, I was thrilled. Then he said, "Make it personal, people would like to know about you." I didnt think that would be hard until I sat down at this computer. When I first started writing, I refused to get personal. Then, Pat Cummings suggested I share the following to inspire those having tough times, too. No sympathy wanted or expectedPain is a constant companion for me. As an infant, my parents were aware that somethina was wrone with me. At aeethree, I had surgery behind my right knee to remove a large non malignant bone tumor. Multiple bone tumors were found throughout my entire body. I am thankful to God that they are "out of sight", but pray that they be "out of mind", also with the pain they are seldom forgotten.These tumors grow from inside of the bone outward, usually at the joints. Some are the size of a golf ball, others resemble antlers. Due to these tumors, in 1974 I took my last bike ride, which I dearly loved. A few years ago, I "gave in" to an automatic transmission car. I loved to drive 5 speed, stick shift cars, like Mario Andretti.With my physical problems, dog shows continue to be a challenge. Sometimes I cannot go up and down steps, and have to take precautions. Kneeling Oh, am I thrilled when I can show a free stacking Pom I am thankful to God that I am still able to show.As a small child, I had big ambitions. My parents encouraged us to dobe what we wanted. I wanted to become a professional boxer, a cowBOY or a nurse.

I create original Pom iweliy from acrylic clay, and have icently began to write a unique rooming book for Pomeranians, thanks i a dear friend, Donna Machniak.Even though Phil is wiser than myself, I ways say with pride, "I have good imrnon sense." However, Phil loves to minds me about a few poor decisions, I ivc made. In his words "Remember the me Dec. 91 when the airport in St. ouis, MO. was nearly closed due to a rrible ice storm Wasnt that the day m flew to Lakeland, Florida with twobitches to breed to Topper, CH COYS TOP OF THE MARK"I admit to the above, but you have to understand Think about the timing and planning involved. Two bitches in season a day apart, one owned by Geneva Pennock and the other, myself, huh shared expenses Both bitches were in my kennel. But....terrible ice storms, was Topper available....for two bitches Could the late Jane Johnston and June Coy accommodate my plans Was the late Goldie McGuire available for 4 days Goldie was the only person that handled Toppers affairs Hotel arrangements, air farereservations and the rental car. Timing was everythingIt worked, though. Everything went perfectly.

We recently bred the two and had a beautiful litter 3 females and 1 male."AND remember when you fell 1030 PM in over the X pen, landing on an outstretched right hand You tried to convince me and yourself that you could leave at 330 am, drive alone four and one half horns, one handed, while throwing up and fainting, to a dog show""But Phil, I have to show" Needless to say, I didnt go, actually I couldn't go, though I tried twice. At the time, I couldnt understand why Phil was so upset at my determination.The Poms feel right at home in our double car garage, located off the dining room and adjacent to our family room. They are quite comfy in 2 X 3 puppy pens, with snugly hooded beds. Whelping bitches and nursing mamas are located in our guest bedroom The Pom Room, while growing pups enjoy the everyday activities in the kitchen. The Poms are allowed to play in the 13 acres fenced back yard Pom proofed, of course.

Two males are currently being shown FAME ROCK OF MILLAMOR, needs 6 singles and FAME PARAGON, just beginning his show career with a 4 point major from bred by- exhibitor class.

Fame Piece of the RockIEANNIE. Three of our bitches are etired from breeding. Two female auppies four months old are currently Deing evaluated in hopes to be added to he FAME team. I believe strongly, that ill but one Pom we currently own could iave finished their championships.FAME puppies are very slow to mature. We rarely have knock-out gorgeous nippies. Our puppies appear to be all egs, noses and ears. Which, if I am evaluating and can "dress" the dogs with ny eyes, is exactly what I am looking for provided they are from heavy coated 3oms, and all else is there good shoulder ay back, excellent tail sets, straight legs, xpression and attitude. No, I do not vant long length of muzzle, but I am not rying to breed flat nosed Poms, either, fes, I want a pronounced stop. No, I do tot want large ears, but I do want high et, small ears. Yes, I want some length of eg. Some FAME Poms do not mature intil nearly 2 1\2 years old.FAME Poms are heavily line bred to nclude two famous Poms. CH COYS OP OF THE MARK and CH lTYTFI ANDY ROPK- OF 1UTT T AMORAlso included in our pedigrees are Millamor, Great Elms, Van Hoosiers, VI-Ra, Aristic and Gold Toy, which without these great breeders, FAME Poms would not be possible.Our first Pomeranian was purchased from Jewel Weber, formerly Jewel-Ken Pomeranians. Jewel taught me to groom ears correctly. I still trim as she taught and continue to pass on her instructions. I purchased a collection of Pom Reviews, dating back to 1960 from Jewel. These were instrumental in finding the type of Pom I wanted to breed. I was at "awe" at the famous breeders spotlighted in the Reviews, NEVER dreaming that someday I would be so fortunate to be writing thisMy first Champion, Rocky, CH FAME PIECE OF THE ROCK, was bred by Geneva Pennock, from Indiana. Norman and Geneva Pennock Long, and Genevas mother, the late Ruth Pennock, entrusted me with their beautiful Poms.

They always encouraged me and built my confidence.Geneva HHP, Hoosier Home Place originally bought her Poms from Joyce Brown from Cumberland, Indiana, home of Gold Toy Poms. CH GOLD TOYS GAY FLAME was bred to several of Genevas females. The late Norma Jean Brown from Indianapolis, IN. owned CH DIXIELAND ROCK OF MILLAMOR, CH BROWNS ROCK N ROBIN, CH BROWNS GAMBLING MAN, and BROWNS WEE FLAMBEAU MARK to name a few. Most of these appear on HHPs and FAME pedigrees. Geneva also bred bitches to CH VI-RAS PRINCE CHARMING and CH VI-RAS FANCY TANGO DANCER, owned by Ralph and Vivian Bouse.CH. WEE RAMBO OF COYS TOP MARK, a son of CH COYS TOP OF THE MARK, purchased by Geneva, from the late Jane Johnston, the late Jim Coy and June Coy, was a great asset to the HHP breeding program, and that produced the FAME Poms.Though the FAME Poms will continue to cany the HHP Poms in their pedigrees,I am sorry to say that Geneva is no longer breeding her beautiful Poms. Geneva had bred Poms for over 40 years, a job well doneFAME puppies do not leave until they are 12 weeks old. Pet puppies are placed or sold at that time. I prefer to keep show prospects for at least 6 months. It takes devotion and hard work to nurture a puppy into a show dog. There are teeth to watch and pull at the correct time. There is lead breaking, crate training, table training, stacking, conditioning, baiting, bathing, and constant grooming. Hours and hours of work, if left unattended to. can ruin the puppys future show career.I do not believe that the dwarfrunl Poms should be bred. Breeders of the pasl reduced the Pom to its current size. We do not need to continue to reduce size. When we evaluate a puppy to keep as a showbreeder prospect for our own kennel, we tend to keep a medium or the largest puppy in the litter. Our show dogs are our breeders. We breed males and females that are within one pound of each other. We do not breed a tiny male to a large bitch. We do not have or want tin tiny males. We have bred for consistenl . "Li - - .. . ' - - .1 -.a...-'l ' ' ' V'. ft-1 American Pomeranian Club 41size and quality, though like everyone else, we do have the occasional throw-backs.For the last few years our Poms consisted of oranges, orange sables or reds, all weighing between 4 and 6 pounds However, last year we added two black pups, a male and female HHP to the breeding program. FAME DESIGNER GENES, the black female, and an orange female, were just bred to Hina Epps Jake, CH ROCK N rRADITION OF OAKRIDGE. This should be exciting, maybe adding more solorIts not that I do not like, or appreciate sxotic color Poms. I think a beautiful Pom in any color is breathtaking. My rrief experience with the exotics was not leasing. I did not get type. My hat is off, hough, to the dedicated breeders who lave been faithful and successful with heir exotic Poms. I love to admire your esults, keep up the good work.The best advice I could give someone ust beginning to breed Poms is to get the est bitch YOU can afford, from a free vhelping line. Study her pedigree and ightly line breed her to a Champion male hat is the TYPE of Poms YOU prefer. ur Champion females have been our reatest asset in the FAME breeding irogram.I evaluate my puppies, as if I were a udge in the ring. I look for a balance of ype, soundness, correct coat, and showy ttitudes. Usually a puppy with correct onformation can walk as fast as other uppies can run. Watch your puppies. Vho is the bouncer Who can move with re least spent energy Then, who is the hy one If we could only take this from lis one and that from that one you know, lways trying to make the perfect Pom. Before I breed a Pom, I review her edigree and evaluate what will be a closetip Krpprlintr Wmrprrpr flva fitvildecisions rests upon what each bitchesstuds strengths and weaknesses are. I try to combine what would create the perfect Pom. To date, I have not bred "the perfect Pom." I rather doubt if I ever see one in my lifetime, as I am much too critical.If you are not familiar with correct bone structure, try to attend a seminar. It will be invaluable. There are also books and videos available. Then go over your Poms. Feel each one and make notes on your dogs strengths and weaknesses. Keep this information in mind, when planning a future breeding.The Pomeranians require a lot of time, if the job is properly done. Guard against too much involvement, when your children are small, unless it can be a family affair. My dogs still interfere with a lot of family planning. I have always tried to put the family first and dogs second.I began to show Poms in 1983, with a little female Pom, FAME LIL SPARKLING FANCY. Fancy would not walk her first time in the ring. We had a very patient judge, who was willing take extra time with us. The second day, totally untrimmed, Fancy went Winners Bitch for 2 points. Barb Chance encouraged me to continue to show Fancy. Her next week end out, Fancy still untrimmed again received Winners Bitch and 2 points The dear judge, Georgia Buttrum, while taking photos, explained that I should ask someone to help me to trim her.Fancy did not finish her championship, however, it was not due to her quality. I did not have enough confidence. I didnt think I could ever finish a Pom, and gave up too soon. Looking back, I regret that I didnt finish several Poms in our first generation FAME Poms, as they could have finished fairly easy.GODFREY"i riMAJESTICSSIRGODFREYCh. Southland's S Impressive x Ch.

No help at the shows, no mentor. I believe that is why today, I love to help newcomers in the ring, and coachteach to groom their Poms. Before I begin, I inform them the way I trim is not the correct way, as I still have never been shown "correct," but it is my way, the FAME way I receive constant comments about how well my dogs look and are groomed, so I must be doing something rightIf you would like to learn to groom your Poms for show, ask an exhibitor, whos grooming you admire, if you can watch. Do not approach them, before youthey have shown. Watch carefully and go home and groom a pet or kennel Pom. Never attempt your first show pattern on a show dog. I know from BAD experience, this is very embarrassing Practice again and again. If you still cannot trim to please yourself, approach the exhibitor again and ask if they would be available to trim your Pom before the next show, and pay them for their expertise. It should be easy for you to follow an established pattern.If I am ever at a show, and you need help, please feel free to ask. I caution you, though I reserve the last hour before ring time for the Poms I am showing that day. I am all business, at that time.In the past, I have trained Poms in conformation, obedience, agility and therapy work. I currently handle exclusively Poms for Russell and Jo Ann Kern, Donna Riehm and Pat Philipp, as well as myself. They keep me quite busy with their gorgeous Poms. I have finished numerous Poms for them and two were in the APC Top Ten several years overall winning.Breeding and showing Poms sure has its highs and lows. One week, I was totally stressed, missing nights of sleep, delivering puppies, tube feeding and thenTime to quit." Then the next two week ends, I came home from 5 shows with 7 majors on 4 Poms and 2 Best of Breeds, even though I wasnt showing a specialThe time involved with the dogs is immeasurable. Proper daily exercise, cleaning, individual socialization and care must be met. Daily care of a show coat and proper training is a must. Vet appointments, proper handling of breedings, this is a thankless never ending jobThe competitors in this area think that I am all business while showing the Poms. When it is TIME to be intense, then I am all business. I do love to have fun, though, even in the ring, occasionally. Though we dont often show against each other, Sue Malek and I tell each other jokes while in the ring provided its a large class and time permits.Once, while showing to the late Frank Oberstar, I lost an arm band in the ring. The ring steward helped me get it back on unknowingly upside down, 6 became 9. My bitch placed fourth. As Frank was marking the judges book, he noticed the incorrect number, and told me I would have to stand on my head for that ribbon. I said, No way for fourth, however, I certainly will if you give me first" Everyone cracked up.My pet peeves this year areNumber 1. Hey, at dog shows, dont get mad at me or too disappointed if I win when you have the better dog. Im not the judge. I dont point the fmger. I have never shown a perfect Pom. I have done more than my share of winning, but that is my responsibility to the dog, myself and clients in the show ring. Show the judge your dogs best assets. Present the Pom the best way possible for that dog. Dont try to hide your dogs faults, butAmerican Pomeranian Club 45accentuate its strengths. I dont like to loose, either, but I am not the judge.Number 2. Please have fun. Shows are great When I can no longer have fun at the shows, win or loose, I will retire. Keep the dogs happy, too. There is nothing uglier than a Pom in the ring that hates being there. I have shown a few that really dont like to show, and it is hard to finish an unhappy Pom. These little Poms are very keen and know when you are upset, nervous or unhappy. Tell them they are beautiful. Lets have funNumber 3.1 resent remarks made about professional handlers. I spend more time with clients dogs, than I do training my awn Poms. I have to win that little Poms onfidence, love and bond with him 'sometimes within a few days. I make sure that he is happy, clean, well groomed md comfortable traveling to the shows, rhis can be challenging and hard work. iVhat if we charged by the horn Hey, low thats a keen ideaPatience is a virtue, the Bible says, and I jelieve I normally have a lot, but I am jatiently waiting for that Best in Show Vll Breed, or that Best In Show Specialty vin. We have come close, oh so close, everal times. But no BIS,yet. Patience, latienceWe have had many tremendous wins hrough the years. The Louisville, Kentucky spring shows are the largest all reed shows in the United States and the ompetition is tough. Most of the top winning Poms are shown there each larch.We have had numerous big wins at -ouisville, including two back to back 5 oint majors on CH FAME PIECE OF 'HE ROCK. The following year, Brother" CH DOUBLE ROCK TOP LA.RK, a half-brother to Rocky, and ttermate to CH FAME KING LINUS cnt Best of Breed. In 1994 a Rocky son,ROCK, "Chips" won Best of Breed. I usually keep my composure in the ring win or loose however, that day I lost it. Dianne Kieffer practically held me upright, while receiving the ribbon.CH FAME IHS SPIRIT, "Spirit," a Linus daughter, also won a 4 point major and Best of Opposite Sex at Louisville. Then in 1995, a 7 month old Rocky grandson and ChipsSpirit son, CH FAME GIFT OF THE SPIRIT, "Gift," won back to back 5 point majors. These were not easy tasks, considering the amount of Poms entered and the quality of exhibits.I enjoy entering the Bred by Exhibitor class at the APC National Specialties, and have placed first in this class several times. CH FAME IHS SPIRIT won her BBE class in New York in 1995. Then in 1996 CH FAME SHEREE AMORE, "Sheree," won the BBE bitch class and Best Bred by Exhibitor. Both are wonderful compliments to our breeding program.Though I know that I havent made much of a difference in this world, never breeding the perfect Pom or finding a miracle cure for AIDS, my greatest dreams will be fulfilled when I am in Heaven not by merits of my own, but through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and am surrounded by my family and friends.

A major presence was tablished there under a Vice President hose training was in data processing and it in dog processing. Let us be kind and y the operation was not the sterling ccess it was predicted to be.Subsequent boards poured more dollars, anpower and administrative talent into e breech to correct the situation. Then 3 final scenario forecast a total move to other site in the Carolinas and land was rchased. This new site had an ibitious plan which included a campus e environment, a possible show site d a hotel to be leased and run by a hotel rporation. There was much to do in rtain segments of the press over this rnned move and certainly the location.majority favoring the move and caused a total new Think". The air was filled with new plans and new strategies. At the same time a new non doggy President was selected to lead the kennel club into the next century. Key members of the board presented position papers on how it was best to reexamine the whole notion and to hire a consultant to study the problem anew. In the meantime, other states got into the act, principally Kentucky with what looked like a wonderful offer on the surface.Finally the consultants after weighing all factors made a report to the board which compared all the possible choices. The main ones were l stay put 2 move to new site in Carolina 3 move to Kentucky. Faced with these choices the board deadlocked. Kentucky was out. Since there was no consensus, the new president after studying all the variables, came up with a compromise. Shift everything but the administrative staff, library and Gazette to the old site in North Carolina and the rest remain in New York. Now while this was a decision, and considering the fact the new president was not conversant with the feeling of those not on the Eastern seaboard, it really did not settle the political animosity about New York City being the hub of the dog world. There was a feeling that the decision was not even worth a half a loaf.It is hard to fault the new president. He was given a lemon by the board and he tried to make the best lemonade he knew how from the ingredients he had on hand. So, what does all this mean Not much I am afraid. It turned out to be a very large tempest in a very small teapot. Many staffers faced with the move to the South will opt out. Especially the lower echelon people. This means hiring and training a new staff .

However, with the administrative staff headquarters still in New York City, the long festering antagonism from those removed by many miles from the scene will only get worse. It is imperative that the headquarters staff reach out to those who feel wounded by the decision to remain in New York City.A good way to start might be that elusive rewrite of the constitution and by-laws that changes the makeup of the AKC delegate body. As we know only a handful of clubs are represented and those West of the Mississippi are poorly represented. Just encouraging all clubs to become AKC member clubs would not work for the delegate body would become unwieldy and finding a meeting place for this large convention each quarter would be nigh on impossible. I might suggest the reader review two of my previous articles, NOW HEAR THIS and TheRole and Function of the AKC in the 21 st Century in which I spelled out plans tc reorganize and make more democratic the workings of OUR Kennel Club.If some of these things are not done in the near future I predict a number oJ brush fire like challenges to the boards recommendations and authority wil occur in the delegate body. Sniping at the administration will increase by those feeling disfranchised.

I did not wonder why it was up, after all I had been through, but never did think that was my problem. The last attack, that I was to see a doctor was 3-10-97, a woman doctor at the clinic took me in to her examining room, and checked me out. I was so weak, dizzy, and my heart beating irregular. I felt like I would pass out any minute as if I was having morning sickness and a heartcould do was shake my head, and with that he said, "Do you want me to take you to the emergency room He said, come and sit down. I sat down in the chair beside his bed, and went into the shakes, I could not speak, or control my body. My husband heard us talking, and came to my sons room, thinking because I was shaking I was cold, he began to talk of going to the hospital, and at the same time trying to wrap his arms around me for warmth. I could not speak, my teeth clinching very tightly together, and my oSfcNs.-.. .i1WJSBtis All rights reservedHappy Holiday Season to All And a Great 98Congratulations to Brenda SegelkenlMo J6Ofienos ''h'ommanians650 583-4973 Fax 650 583-6305Pomeranian.

Ste. 164 Miami, FL 3317572 Pomeranian Reviewnew bom baby In a period of 20 minutes the shaking let up, and I was released from the seizure, or what ever it was, and it felt as though I was released from a very high current of electric, and I went limp. I told my son and husband I was O K., and my husband took me back to bed. As we were talking I began to shake again, and this one lasted around 5 minutes. It was all over, and we went back to sleep. The next day I wondered what had caused this seizure to happen to me, but feeling O. K. I continued to do the normal routine. At that time, I was, what you would call a rescue home for all mistreated Pomeranians. I was buying them just to get them away from the treatment they were receiving, if you know what I mean. I was so attached to a lot of my own breedings, that it was a frill time job caring for them. I was trying to help my son as much as possible, doing the office work for my husbands shop, so I blamed the seizure on stress. I began to feel tired all the time, but forcing myself to carry on. In the meantime I was forced to kind good homes for a lot of my dogs. I began to lose interest in everything, became depressed, and had no desire to do the things I was interested in I was doing geneaology, had written two early marriage books when you had to be bonded to marry and was on my third book when my mind began to fail. I could not concentrate, and do that which I had no trouble doing before. I thought well, that comes with getting older, and let it go at that. I had to write down all important stuff, because I would forget. I can look back at some of the things I did, and the people I talked to, and it is like a dream, remembering only parts of it I would be at my computer, trying to put in data on my book, and I would go into a zombie like stare, and not even remembermy senses again. I was still feeling depressed, and getting weaker until all I did was keep a path cleaned through my house. I hired a woman to come twice a week to help with the Poms, and clean my house.Again I told the doctor of my symptoms. She ordered an EEG, and more blood work.They tested for thyroid too, because I told her my hair was starting to fall out. My body had became one big nervous system, my insides trying to get outside I was uneasy all the time never knowing when these "attacks" would happen. I did not drive for a year, for fear of having an "attack in my car," and maybe hurting someone elseWhen my test results came back, I was told all of my tests were O.K How could this be happening to me I knew something was wrong The new doctor prescribed a very low dose of thyroid medication, and maybe it was a "little" low, but that was not my problem. Why was none of my tests revealing what was wrongWhen I could think clearly, I told my husband I was going to eliminate everything I was taking into my system, and I started with my vitamins. I started taking that because I was starting to have problems after I would eat, and was noi eating much because I still did not know what was causing my seizures on top 01 everything else, my stomach wai beginning to hurt I quit that for 3 or ^ days, I was still having my attacks, so ' started with my food. I eliminated all the foods, one by one, and the "attacks' continued. All that was left to eliminatf was a FDA approved product that wa1 supposed to be safe for consumption, sojust to prove to myself, it was the onb American Pomeranian Club73The one thing that even children are taking into their system, even vitamins lias this product in them It is called STUTRASWEET That was 10-03-1997.1 lave not had a seizure since. My eyesight las returned. Oh, I didnt mention my jyesight did I I was needing my glasses changed bad. Not anymore I see fine vith the ones I have. My memory is mproving, I am back in my computer, vorking on my new book. I still have reart palpitations, but they are farther ipart. I have been off of the sweetener for ilmost 6 weeks now. I have almost returned" to normal, and last week I vent to see the first doctor that did the sKG and all the blood work. I told him I bund out what had caused all my agony or 2 and a half years, and he said, "Oh bats good". I have trouble believing that octors are compassionate, and caring I ailed my brother in Georgia and was dling him of my illness, and what had aused it. He said to go on line to the web age and put in Aspertame search, I did, tid I could not believe my eyes There is age after page telling about the danger of spartame, what it is made from, and tter after letter of people like me, having le same symptoms, and how they found ut it was aspartame that caused their salth problems. There is over 9,000 roducts on the market with aspartame in iem. If you use products with aspartame, id have physical, visual, mental oblems ailments the doctors cant seem cure....then please try the 60 day no part am e test. When your symptoms sappear, please get involved in an temational effort to get this deadly lurotoxin off the market.
