Part of the article was inadvertently left out.Our question for this month is What is coccidiosisAs long as you feed a premium food, normal Pomeranian stools are small, firm, and without foul odor. 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 fowl. 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 time. Because cysts are shed intermittently, it can be very difficult to confirm protozoan infections by fecal examination.Coccidiosis is spread when an animalHingests infective cysts that are passed in the stools. 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 treated with the drug sulfadimethoxine brand name Albon. Give Albon liquid suspension - 14 cc per pound per day for 30 days. Give 2 doses the first day and then 1 dose per day for 29 days. The label directions say to give Albon for less time, however because coccidia run a 21 day cycle, best results are achieved by using a longer treatment period. If Giardia is confirmed, a good treatment is fenbendazole trade name Panacur 50 mg.llcg. given for three days in a row and then repeated at one week intervals until the infection clears generally 3 weeks. Please note Although University studies have shown that fenbendazole is an effective treatment for Giardia, it is currently licensed for the treatment of worms only.It 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. BPage 8Vitamins may not be given during the Albon treatment. Albon works by inhibiting folic acid, therefore B Vitamin supplements with folio acid will negate its action. Zinc and Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids may be given during treatment. One of the negative side effects 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. After Albon treatment has finished, continue the Probiotic and give B Vitamins, Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids, and Zinc. To avoid future outbreaks, keep your dog in excellent health, free of worms and maintain scrupulous cleanliness. Immediately separate any dog that shows signs of the disease and treat accordingly."Ask Us Anything" FebruaryMarchBy Annette DavisOur question for this month is Can you recommend a good toy puppy formula and some suggestions for feeding puppies that need supplementationI have had excellent results using this puppy formula recipe given to me by Mrs. Julie Moreno.Julie Morenos Puppy Formula1 Can Condensed Milk 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise Best Foods brand only, not low fat 4 oz. Plain Yogurt not low fat, Mountain High brand is good 4 egg yolksBlend well. Remove white membranes from the yolks so they dont clog your feeding tube. Refrigerate stays good 5 days in refrigerator. Warm to wrist temperature before feeding. For a 3-4 oz. pup, feed 1 cc every 2 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night If the pup is nursing on its dam but needssupplementation, feed 1 cc every 4 hours until strength improves enough to nurse exclusively. Diaper pups after each feeding unless dam is doing so. If pups are dehydrated or chilled, give 1 cc pedialyte every 2 hours instead of formula. 1 part com syrup to 7 parts boiled water can be used in a pinch until pedialyte can be obtained. When hydration or body temperature improves, phase back in formula. Increase formula amount as weight increases. Important Do not increase too quickly or overfeed as colic and gastric upset will occur. If a feeding tube needs to be used, use a 5 French. Pups should be able to lap formula from a bowl by 3-4 weeks old.Suggestions on raising orphans by Lois Ciliberto RinehartRaising Orphans With an Adoptive DamIf there is a bitch around who has a great disposition and can adjust to simply loving the pups, curling around them to keep warm and licking them, then I would give that the best hy I could. Remember, adoptive dams need not be nursing moms. If you can supply the food, a non-nursing adoptive dam can take care of the rest of the burden for you. I have seen some who insisted taking over, others who warmed to the idea slowly, and yet others who would kill the pups sooner than blink an eye. First, know your adoptive mom, second rub a tiny bit of vanilla into pups to change their scent, then put butter on their rears, vaginal area and under chin. Avoid umbilical area so adoptive mom does not get too anxious and chew on that area.Slowly, holding a pup in hand, fingers curled around pup, back of hand up toward adoptive dam in case she snaps better your hand than the pup - see if the bitch has any sniffing interest. This can take time. Its all new to her, and patience is the guide. If she expresses curiosity, go one step further and let her really smell thePagB 9tF'V24BESTOFCOLUMBIA POMERANIAN CLUBWINTER 1998jj^jBESI or BREEDBISS Ch.

Let her lick at the butter, but be ready to pull hand back and say no like you really mean it if necessary. If this works, let her lick the butterunder the chin, being ready with your free hand every minute to interfere if there is animosity from the bitch.If the bitch is interested, you will be able to tell. Do not give the pup to her yet. Put all pups in a cardboard box near bitch who I will assume is in some kind of confining pen. My dams always shredded papers for their pups. If your bitch has shredded papers with pups before, use this system now. If she hasnt, use whatever system she had when she raised pups. We are assuming you are only trying this with an experienced mom Put some bedding in with the hopefully adoptive mom. See if she attempts to make a bed. Give her some time. Fondle pups to make them squeal a bit while this is going on so she can hear the pups, but cant really get to them. You can see by her head cocking more or less how interested she is. In many cases the bitch will be so encouraged, she will shred paper and dig into bedding trying to make a nest, stopping to listen to the pups every so often. If she establishes interest by this type of nesting behavior, the battle is half won. Dont get discouraged if the bitch does not nest at first. As long as she has interest and is not growling or squirming to get away, you have a foot hold. If this interest is expressed, keep those pups squealing a bit. It isnt going to hurt them to squeal a little and crawl about.Assuming you have a potential adoptive dam who is interested, proceed with some risk, exercising caution too, but the risk must be taken. Try the next pups the same way as the first one and see what the bitch thinks of them. She will know they are different pups. Then put butter on all pups and gingerly lay one down in the pen with the bitch - being ready to spring and cover the pup if the bitch gets upset. Now it is a waitseepraybe ready to spring to protect pupgame.If the bitch seems to want to help the pup, give her a little trust and encouragement, petting her with one hand, being ready to cover the pup with the other hand. If the bitch takes to the puppy and you can see that she has no intention of harming it, then give her a little slack and see what she will do with the puppy. She may go away from it for a bit an return and may look anxious - after all she has not had proper time to prepare a nest and so on. This sounds atrocious, but I always led with the scrawniest or weakest of the pups. If something was going to happen and the bitch was going to harm it before I could stop her, better to be with nature and go for the one best able to be sacrificed. If all goes well, do not wait too long to introduce the rest of the pups. Hang around as close as possible for half an hour to see what the bitch will do. Once she settles in and is warming and licking the pups, let her be, but also give her some latitude. If she likes her bed at the other end of the pen, let her have it here. I always say that mother knows best.With an adoptive dam, I always fed the dam away from her pups so there would be no lurking jealousy over the food - at least until I saw what the dam was like in that situation. For the first few days, keep butter on the pups rears to assure licking stimulation. After that, its home free except for feedings if your adoptive dam is not in milk. I have seen so many non-nursing substitute moms take pups, that it is well worth the effort to try it. The pups are happier, and you get more rest. But if you try, and they die anyway, dont feel guilty. In all probability, they would have died anyway as it is difficult to hand rear them successfully.Hand Raising Orphans With No Adoptive DamI used a cardboard box on the kitchen table, with a heating pad under the outside of the box, not in it. Too much heat kills as fast as too little. Place a towel in thePage 12bottom of the box and keep adjusting the heat until it is barely warm. I always kept a large paper towel section to toss over the pups as it gave them coverage and allowed air in. Do not tuck it down and it will move about somewhat as they do. Crying does not hurt pups. I always worry more when there is no noise. Dead quiet pups are about to be dead is my motto. Continual crying, of course, means dissatisfaction - usually not enough to eat which you can gauge by looking at the tummy. The pup may also need to be stimulated to have a bowel movement or urinate or be instinctively searching for the warm comfort of a mom. When she isnt around, they are going to cry a bit more than normal. When they draw their legs to their tummy, it is colic or worse.I also placed the old time honored method - a ticking clock under the towel in one comer as it does make the pups gravitate toward it and they will kind of curl up on it slightly elevating their heads as they do when sleeping on their dam. This helps the natural flow of blood and food. I never used a lamp of any sort, and when it came to nighttime, I kept overhead lights to a minimum so I could just see when I fed and pottied them. They need to instinctively know time, just as they would in the wild.In the daytime I fed 2-3 hours apart depending on how much they took at a sitting. Julies formula is the best for feeding. At night, every 4 hours is fine. I sometimes even missed the 400 A.M. feeding and never lost a pup because of it. A little sleep doesnt hurt the surrogate mom every now and then After every feeding, use a Kleenex - slightly wet with warm tap water to stimulate urination and bowel movements. A bit of butter on the rear and vagina now and then does not hurt. If they are doing well, weighing them is silly. It only keeps you stressed out and accomplishes nothing. You can feel full tummies and normal, undehydrated pups by hand. A once aweek weigh in is sufficient. If no gain, and they are otherwise eating and not in agony or cold and dying, everything willbe fine. You cant possibly expect an orphan pup who is not getting dams milk and normal dam attention to gain as much as one who is getting that benefit. Be happy they are alive, and weight gain can come later.Tube feeding is fine, and many practice it. 1 have used it, but it was never my cup of tea. Bemie patented a method that was great and it enabled one to know if the pup was really wanting to eat and thereby had the strength and will to live. A lot of times by tube feeding, we are going against nature and just keeping something alive that wants to die or that nature has decreed is going to die. If you wish to tube feed, use a 5 French tube and ask your veterinarian to show you how to do it. However, if you can get the hang of this other method, youll love it. You need a regular clean syringe with no needle. It must be kept moist so it doesnt dry up. Bemie kept it in the formula glass in the refrigerator. Warm the formula just to wrist temperature, then suck up the cc amount you have determined. Place the pup on a towel, belly down. Gently lift head between your fingers, put filled syringe into mouth. Tap slightly between roof of mouth and tongue and maybe squeeze very gently on syringe end so that a dab of milk comes out and the pup gets a taste. The pups little tongue will wrap around the end of the syringe. You just hold the syringe with your thumb on the end that injects - but not actually pushing down. Syringe plunge end down, not up If they suck, the end goes down as they nurse with your every so slight pressure helping.1 have never chocked one with this method. Once they do it and you do it, youll never want to use another method. They suck like little pros, and you can measure exactly what they took in by looking at the cc on the syringe. They have to suck to get the food, but not so hard to tire them. Many pups wither from tubePage 13MULTIPLE BEST OF BREED AND GROUP WINNING CH. NOBLE'S REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE0G-05-9B to 01-03-98J.

This method is a charm and kept many a Crescendo orphan alive and well. The syringe can be rinsed in warm soapy water, rinsed well, and easily re-used. Forgot all of the sterilization nonsense. As with human babies, a little natural exposure to a few germs in not going to kill them. We did have to change syringes a lot as they wear our when the rubber part gets too stiff to work, but that is nothing.

I thought, My, 1 never want to get this lady upset Well, after servingtwo years as a board member and two years as First Vice President under her, I am here to tell you she is a great leader. Her knowledge about the breed, her knowledge about AKC, her ways of running APC, and her business acumen can never be matched by one person. I also found by serving with Dolly for four years that she is a person who listens to both sides of an issue. She will go your way even if it differs from hers if the facts and majority go the other way. One other important thing, she was not as stoic as her first impression led many people to think.Dolly is a person whose ambitions were if it was for the betterment of the breed or club, she would run with it until something was done. She was always upset about how long it took to get something accomplished through the APC Board by mail. Dollys accomplishments for the Pomeranian and the Poodle are too numerous to mention. Read elsewhere in this issue for them.I miss Dollys calls at midnight she would sometimes forget the time difference and wish her well. I usually sign off with Nuff Said, but there can never be Nuff Said about the one and only Dolly B. Trauner.I hope everyone has a good time in Dallas, and I am inviting all of you to Ohio in August for a great show and a good time.

An extremely important accomplishment was the founding of CERF Canine Eye Registry Foundation which brough all of us involved a tremendous amount of gratification and pride.Dolly and I have shared "exhibits of Poms as well as shown against each other. Win or lose, we still hang in there as great friends. Its been almost 41 years now of a truly meaningful and cherished friendship. I feel fortunate for the knowledge and honesty in Dogdom Dolly has given to me in a personal way. It is priceless. I only hope that it can be said I will have helped others who seek knowledge and information which I possess.I could write much more about this great and grand lady and her accomplishments, but I will leave it others who admire her to say. Read on and remember that to know her is to realize why her name is DOLLYfor she truly is a DOLL.Her Poodle Years....James A.

Having known Dolly for many years,Page 19and serving on the CERF Board while it was still in California with Dolly, my first thought is that everyone who owns a dog or has owned a dog that has PRA and gone blind, or at some point in their life, will own a dog, should be ever grateful to Dolly. She started the eye clinics and CERF to try to find a cure for PRA. Each of us pray a cure will soon be found.There are not enough accolades in the Dictionary that would completely cover Dolly. She gave of her mind, body, time, and money. She spent endless hours working on CERF for years. Because of CERFs growth, it was decided to let Purdue University take it overDolly helped me set up the PRA Research Fund. We wrote to any and every person having to do with dogs. We sent thousands of letters telling anyone who would listen about PRA and that research money was needed. All money received went directly to Dr. Gus Aguirre for research. No matter was asked of Dolly, she somehow got it done.What we all need in this world is more people just half of what Dolly is. To copy a well known phrase, What a far better world this would be.From Lois Normi PlawchanDolly Trauner is a lady it has been a pleasure to share the love of dogs in so many aspects and varieties. She is a person who sat at ringside and learned to appreciate dogs other than those she considered her favorites.We shared the same birth month with several others each yearwe all looked forward to a favorite restaurant and an evening of sharing what had happened in the year past and what we hoped would happen in our breed or inothers in the years ahead. Heres to you, Dollya memory one never forgets. Thanks for letting me share so many moments in your company.Her Pomeranian Years...Dollys Foundation Bitch... Ch. Phyner Black Queenaireby Dudley RoachWanda and I got acquainted with Julie Moreno, of Poodle fame, at the shows many years ago. Julie was mesmerized by Poms, and after a time, became a Pom breeder exclusively. Julie had a very close friend who was also a well-known Poodle personDolly Trauner. Dolly also became enamored with Poms, particularly black ones.Dolly commissioned Julie to find her a show and breeding black bitchno easy task in those days. She called us and we mentioned we had a black bitch pup which was to come back to us in payment for her mother, Patsy Lee. We had no idea what her quality was. Ill digress a bit to tell you about Patsy Lee.We were in contact with a breeder who had a cream bitch we really wanted, but the owner wouldnt let her go unless we took a black bitch she had as well. We agreed. We waited impatiently for the bitches to arrive. When they finally came, we picked them up at the airport and hurriedly drove home so that we could see what we had bought. I opened one of the crates, and out walked a big, ugly black bitch who promptly bit me. You might imagine we didnt start our relationship amicably, and it didnt improve greatly.Page 20We bred her to our white obedience Pom because I didnt want to breed her to one of our Champions. She had three lovely black babies. I didnt believe that any thing coming out of her could be good, so we promptly sold them as pets. Later, when they were grown, I saw them again. All three of them were exquisite and could have finished easily.One weekend a friend, Betty Evans Naps Poms stopped by our house on her way to a dog show. She saw Patsy and wanted her. She was in season at the time, and we bred her to one of Bettys young show prospects. So, Queenie was conceived.Now, back to the stoiy. When Julie called, Betty was to bring the puppy to Golden Gate where we would pick her up. Remember, this was 1968 and blacks of quality were unusual. At any rate, Julie stopped by our motel and liked the puppy very much. Julie took her home and Dolly came over to see her. Needless to say, Queenie never made it to Modesto.Under Dollys auspices, Queenie, Phyner Black Queenaire, was sent to Lorraine Heichel Masley where she quickly finished her American and Canadian Championships. Thus, Queenie became Dollys foundation bitch.Then it came time to breed her. There was a very nice black male in Northern California, Ch. Cin-Dees Tiny Tim, which seemed the obvious choice. A few weeks later, the breeding was accomplished and the future champion, Phyner Bumble Bee was bom. Bum was then bred back to her sire and Dolly got Phyner Chiquita Negrita who in turn was bred to Ch. Morenos Hot Off The Press. The resulting litter was two boys, oneof whom became Ch. Phyner Night Editor, call name Gordo.Gordo was campaigned by Marlene Scott Halsey. While with Marlene, he was bred to a black bitch and got a chocolate male puppy. Patsy Lee had chocolate in her background and now we knew she had passed it along to get Anyway, Dolly was elated because she knew she could add the chocolates she wanted to her kennel.Dolly wanted to add more females to her kennel so they could be bred to Gordo. The perfect combination came about in Phyner Kitchen Witch who was sired by Gordo and out of an orange bitch. Dolly also acquired a chocolate bitch which was bred to Ch. Queenaire Gambling Dude. The resultant puppy was Ch. Phyner Black SombreroSam. This cross would allow new combinations to work from while still keeping the foundation from Queenie. The black line was well on its way.The chocolate line was furthered with the help of Ch. Starlite Choco Bear owned by Gayle Griffin. Dolly leased Choco Bear, finished him, and used him to enhance her chocolate line. Ch. Phyner Tea Muffin was the first chocolate champion for Phyner.In all, 17 champions stem from Queenie.Page 21AC Ch. Phyner Black QueenaireWe dedicate this show to Dolly B. Trauner, to honor her contributions to the welfare of our Poodles.Dolly Trauner was bom in Evanston, Illinois and attended Northwestern University, where her life-long interest in the study of genetics was initiated. She and her husband, Lawrence M. Trauner, M.D., established their Phyner Kennels in 1957, and she proceeded to train and handle her own poodles in both breed and obedience. Dolly joined the Poodle Club of Central California in 1958, the Poodle Club of America in 1960, and was one of the founders of Mission Trail Poodle Club in 1966. In 1969 she added Pomeranians to her Phyner Kennel.In 1974, Dolly Larry Trauner, Julie Moreno, and a few friends established the Canine Eye Registration Foundation C.E.R.F. in response to the devastation of Progressive Retinal Atrophy P.R. A.. Said Dolly, "There was a need for eye disease to be diagnosed by people who knew what they were looking at." By establishing a third- party verifiable record, false claims could be virtually eliminated.1994 was a banner year for Dolly. She celebrated her 75th birthday, celebrated the victorious end of 6 years of anti-trust litigation against C.E.R.F., and received a letter of commendation from the AKC Board of Directors, applauding her accomplishment and her vigorous defense of C.E.R.F.Said then AKC Chairman Jim Smith, "I am aware of few individuals who have contributed more to canine health than you. Your pioneering work for well more than two decades on canine eye disease has been an invaluable contribution... The founding of the Canine Eye Registration Foundation is an accomplishment of extraordinary importance.""...Your contributions to the organized dog fanciers, and the attempt to improve the health of their pets eyes will always be remembered..."

L. SharpeWELL DONE, DOLLY, WELL DONELove, AnitaPage 27IfHealth Genetics ByMarge KranzfelderMystery Food and Poly GenesSince the conscientious dog breeder and his veterinarian are often frustrated by a condition not responding to treatment, I want to pass on the following information taken from The Collins Guide to Dog Nutrition revised edition by Donald R. Collins, DVM. It is in no way meant to replace the attention of your vet, but is something to try when other treatments fail. Remembering that liver also loosens stools, take heed of the saying if a little is good, more is not necessarily better.Natures Mystery FoodLiverNewborn puppies, dying from the failing puppy syndrome, have a tablespoonful of chopped liver added to their mothers diet. Overnight, the pups snap out of it and start gaining again. Orphan puppies, stunted because their formula is inadequate, have a little liver puree added to that formula and those same puppies suddenly begin to grow and gain weight. A young, adult male, starting his second year at stud is listless, uninterested and underweight. A teaspoonful of raw liver daily returns the stud to his original luster and aggressiveness. A dog struck by an automobile fails to respond, even though surgery has successfully corrected its injuries. About a week after the operation a tablespoonful ofliver is prescribed three times weekly. By the end of the third week all of the dogs lost weight has been regained and healing of the external wounds appears complete.All of the dogs described above had one thing in commonliver was added to their diet Perhaps liver should be called a miracle food rather than a mystery food. But, whatever you call it, the recoveries were the result of liver, and whatever it is that enables liver to produce such miracles remains a mystery.For years veterinary nutritionists have referred to the unidentified liver factions and their seemingly miraculous effects. Whatever it is is in liver, known or unknown, few canine nutritionists deny that liver does something special when it comes to a dogs diet. If there is one single food that every dog should have in its diet, that food would have to be liver. It contains more nutrients in one package than any other natural food available to man or beast.As I have stated in my previous articles, we have been assuming that our Severe Hair Loss Syndrome is polygenic. To see if you agree, allow me to quote some ideas regarding this from Dr. Carmelo L. Battaglias book Breeding Better Dogs.Listed below is a three-step method that should make the alert breeder suspect that a genetic condition may existThe condition occurs more often among dogs which are related. The principle, of course, is that hereditary diseases tend to run in families. In other words, the condition is observed with a higher frequency within members of the same line as opposed to those less closely related.Page 28 The condition increases in frequency with inbreeding. The effect of inbreeding is that it increases the chances that an undesirable trait will occur when single recessive or polygenic conditions are involved. The disease occurs usually at the same age for most animals affected. Many genetic disorders behave as if they were programmed to occur at a specified age. When this condition occurs, the onset of the undesirable trait will begin to progress at a specific age in the life of the dog.Time out to think....Lets observe that at this point, we have no known statistics about our SHLS. For one reason, there is no definitive test for the condition. We presently define it by eliminating all other known causes. I recently have heard that a dermatologist believes the inbreeding coefficient is much lower than to be expected, and I am trying to track this down. If any of you have such data, please let me know. Do we need to conduct a survey to begin to answer this Are we ready to be as truthful as we know howTo press onward, lets assume it is genetic. Below is Dr. Batalglias synopsis of types of genetic transmission.Single Genes Causing Defects or DiseaseIf a single recessive gene is involved1. The affected dogs will be homozygous for the abnormal gene. Both genes of the pair will be recessive.2. Most affected dogs will be theprogeny of heterozygous carriei parents.3. Mating of two heterozygous carriers will produce 25 affectec progeny, 50 carriers, and 25 homozygous normals.4. Matings of two affected dogs wil cause 100 of the progeny to be affected with the disease or defect.5. The risk to male and female progeny will be equal.If a single dominant gene is involved1. The affected progeny will usuall be heterozygous.2. One of the parents will show the defect.3. Breeding one affected dog wit one normal dog will produce 50affected progeny.4. The risk to male and female progeny will be equal.If an X-linked recessive gene is involved1. Males will be affected and females will act as the carriers of the gene The female needs to be homozygous recessive for her to be affected.2. The breeding of normal males tc female carriers will affect 50 of the males produced 50 of the female progeny will be carriers.Multiple Polygenic Genes Causing DiseasesIf a Polygenic defect is involved1. There will be a wide variation ir the severity of the condition. Some dogs will be only mildly affected.2. Pedigree patterns will be useful ir explaining the condition wher inbreeding is practiced.29MOMMtv t111^ 1-e oi.ate asfe u aEGreat dog people are more rare than great dogs. DOLLY, it was a privilege to know you as a national and local leader in the dog world.

The polygenic gene causing the disease or defect will not be like the single recessive or dominant genes. The single gene method makes the risk constant for all progeny, while the polygenic gene condition will vary from family to family.Environmental diseases are those brought on by bacteria, viruses, parasites, nutritional deficiencies, chemical, and trauma. Polygenic diseases are susceptible to modification by the environment. Nutrition is one of the environmental causes of a disease, and when the nutritional conditions of feeding are combined with the polygenicabnormal genes, the condition will begin to occur.The elimination of dogs displaying the disease from the breeding program is the single most effective method for controlling the disease.Time out to think....Elimination of dogs with thecondition or carrying the condition is correspondingly as difficult as identification of the condition. I will talk more on this subject in another article on breeding strategies.Note, that by definition, a polygenic condition can also be partially sex-linked. One, or more, of the genes involved might be on the X chromosome. And logically the statement that polygenetic diseases are susceptible to environment are conditions does not mean allconditions diseases affected by environment are genetic, let alone polygenic.Now, anyone out there have any reason to doubt that, for the sake ofthe search, that we can assume our Severe Hair Loss Syndrome to be polygenicHealth and Genetic Committee ReportWe have tried to contact a dermatologist acquainted with treating Poms with the SHLS.

Now in our county all dogs must be licensed and have a current rabies vaccination. At that time you couldnt train on a leash longer than 6 feet which made recalls a bit difficult. So there we were at the park...Muffin was on a light 20 foot line so I didnt have to worry about her getting away. Her main problem was she would come about half way back to me and quit...so we were working on this when the Rabies Animal Control truck pulls in the park and the officer starts over to check us outNot knowing whether hes checking licenses or coming over because my leash is too long, I tell Molly to stay put until the officer comes after me then get her dog out of there. I grab Muffin and we take off running across the park, the RAC officer in hot pursuit. Good...finally something is working out the way I planned. We hide behind the restrooms, run toward the far end of the park and finally, as I see Molly driving down the street, stop and let the officer catch us.He pulls out his ticket book and says Im getting cited for no license. I said I certainly DID have a license and proceeded to pull it from under all the hair on Muffins neck. He looked it over very carefully to see that it was current, which it was. He then asked me why I took off since my dog was quite legal. I replied that I knew Muffin was current on her tags but unfortunately my friend Mollys doghad no tags at all so..........Luckily for mehe had a good sense of humor, and we both had a good laugh after we caught our breath.He did have some questions for me about the length of leash I was using, but since I no longer had it on the dog, we were home freeThe only other little quirk she had was on the long sit. She saw no reason to sit that long so as soon as I left, shed lie down and go to sleep This, of course, is not good so....after many attempts to stop this I came up with my own plan. I place her on the long sit and as I stood there keeping her attention on me, my friend quickly placed some carpet tacks in front of her and covered them with a light scattering of dirt. Confident that this would do it, I gave the command and left the ring. As I hid from her sight, I waited most impatiently for the order to return. All was silent. Suddenly I heard a little titter from the crowd...soon it grew to an uproar followed by applause I peeked from behind the curtain only to see dear little Muffin very carefully shoving the tacks over to the side. When they were all moved, she lay down and went to sleep Score Muffin 1, me 0.Muffin went on to finish basic obedience, and the graduation class included little graduation caps, tassels, and all. Of course being a Pom carries a little more responsibility during graduation exercises...allthe other dogs did a single recalL.not my Muffin She did 3 spins on her return with her tassel flying straight out to the side. Needless to say, she got the loudest applause. The instructor said we had been an interesting team but also mentioned that she really liked larger dogs better...some people have no taste at allMuffin lived for 18 years, made many friends and turned many big dog people into Pom lovers. Ive placed soPage 36Remembrances of Things Past ByDerial JacksonViola Procter and the Radiant Pomsf vRecently I was talking with a prominent Pom breeder about these articles on the background of our present-day show Poms and mentioned Miss Procter and Radiant Kennels. She had never heard of them yet all of her dogs go back to Miss Procters dogs.In the article on Inbreeding What Why How By Ky W. White, it was pointed out that as the pedigree extends the same ancestor appears over and over. Since most of our dogs are at least partly line-bred, then theiiiMiss Procter circa 1925Ch. Chiswick Beppo of Radiantnumber of ancestors double in each generation, but the number of individual dogs decrease example, how many times does Ch. Little Timstopper or Ch. Sealand Moneybox or Ch. Little Sahib appear in the extended pedigrees of Ch. Great Elms Prince Charming II Many. So its important to know something about the extended lines.Miss Procter began her interest in Poms before World War I. I have a picture of her taken in the 1920s with her first Pom, Ch. Sherwood Starbright II, at 13 years of age. During the teens and twenties, she imported top dogs from England. After the stock market crash in 1929, she was not able to do as much, but still brought over some great ones. Later, her sister, Melba Procter Boynton, became her partner. They were two extremely charming and cultivated ladies, and I had the pleasure of getting to know them personally.During the late teens and 20s she imported the black, Ch. Chiswick Beppo of Radiant, a BIS winner, Ch. Radiant Eastney The Gem which is back of so many of our Poms today. Ch. Perivale Golden Bracket was BestPage 37HEARTLAND'S BURIED TREASUREJadeCh.

Eastney Orange Pippin of Radiant also in extended pedigrees and from Canada, Ch. Young Black Gentleman of Pomona, the homebred Ch. Radiant Dream was a BIS winner. She also purchased from Mrs. Matta Little Rajahs Pearl which soon became a champion. She was sired by Ch. Little Rajah x Manola.After the crash, the two sisters moved to Wenham, MS, and continued bringing over Englands best. Ch. Sealand Career was a spectacular orange dog from Miss Henshaws Sealand Kennels. He was best toy at the Westminister in 1931 and Best of Breed in 1932 best toy,too, I think. He was the sire of eleven or more champions and appears many times in Aristic pedigrees. Mrs. Schoenburg was very impressed with the Poms she got from him. Later, she used Ch. Little Sahib regularly. Career was bred to Ch. Little Rajahs Pearl and produced in one litter, Ch. Little Sahib and Ch. Radiant Candida. She sold Sahib to Mrs. Matta, and he became one of the greatest Poms of the 1930s. Fortunately, Ch. Radiant Candida was a good brood bitch as well as a show dog and she appears in the Great Elms, Aristic, Model, and other lines. In these lines, Sahib appears many times as well.They also imported Ch. Kelvin Brilliant for an outcross to the career and Memento lines. So he became important. He was a very tiny, brilliant red-orange and imparted that color to many of the later Radiants.My first Pom was sired by Radiant Tiny Memento, imported from the famous Perivale Kennels of England. He was by Ch. Perivale Wee Memento x Perivale Dainty Jill, a full sister of Ch. Minette. Wee Memento was by Ch. Perivale Memento who was one of Englands greatest winners. He was the grandsire of Julo Happy Boy, so appears behind most of the Julo dogs. Radiant Tiny Memento was injured and was not shown, but the Procters used him extensively at stud. He appers over and over in the old pedigrees.Ch. Sealand Career and Ch. Sealand Moneybox were closely related. Career by Ch. Woodfield Diamond King x Sealand Caress. Moneybox was by Ch. Woodfield May King, a Diamond King son x Sealand Gold Lace. Gold Laces dam was a full sister to Sealand Caress. May KingPage 40fCh. Perivale Golden Bracketwas also a grandson of Ch. Perivale Memento. Mrs. Matta imported Ch. Sealand Moneybox to breed to Ch. Little Sahibs daughters and granddaughters. The result was Chs Moneybox Currency , Gold Coin, and Cashier.Ch. Sealand Career also appears in the later Julo dogs through Ch. Julo Career, his grandson, Ch. Perivale Golden Bracket appears in the Premier line and others. Golden Bracket is behind Ch. Little of Chasmont. He was the sire of Ch. Radiant Robin and Ch. Salisbury Bracket Gold, grandsire of two of the thirties greatest winners, Ch. Salisbury Sensation 2 BIS and Ch. Perfection of Emrose Hill BOB 1937 Westminster. Radiant Tiny Memento is behind the Adora and Adorable Poms and are behind lines of Queenaire through Ch. Adora Sir Gay, Ch. Kitch Tumble Lad, Ch. Leaders Moneybox Sonny, the later Ducal dogs through Ch. Ducal Red Flame. Also behind Ch. Dixieland Shining Gold, sire of Ch. Little Timstopper, Ch. Little Timsun, Ch. Little Timstopper,-.r1Ch. Little Tims Sunburst and later Dixieland poms.Speaking of line-breeding and out-crosses, Ch. Dixieland Shining Gold was to be a complete outcross for Moneybox, Sahib, Career daughters and granddaughters but low and behold in the 4th generation comes Radiant Lady Manya, a daughter of Sealand Career and Careers daughter Ch. Radiant Candida who was the sister of Sahib. So I guess its impossible to get a total outcross.Radiant Kennels continued into the fortiessee the article on Caimdhu and Premier lines Oct.

I use the antibacterial form. Probably any of the detergents would work. Follow this up with a bath with one of the above soaps, dips or resichlor. Also, I am disinfecting my grooming utensils between each dog.Amazingly, within a couple of weeks, normal hair was growing on both dogs at the same rate and in another one in the early stages. Dr. Jourbert believes getting the skin clean is a must. Goop helps accomplish this.I took the dogs to Dr. Jourbert and what he saw amazed him. He said, This is normal, healthy hair just as if you had clipped them down and it is growing back, not at all like you see with true elephant skin.Hair is coming inalmost overnight,I am excited it is healthy in appearance, feel, and color. I really believe that we have identified ONE of the causesand it is treatable.I will have these dogs at the shows in Dallas and would like for anyone interested to see them and discuss the issue.

Puppy play pens.Page 48A Visit to Fixiclis PomeraniansByDiane FinchIn 1964 my dream of owning a Pomeranian became reality. I found a small little orange female. I soon found I couldnt have just one. I had also discovered that they came in black, so I set out to find a black of better quality than the first little fine-boned orange female Id purchased. I found the black and her orange sister. As much as I wanted to take both home, I didnt think Id be allowed back in my home if I brought home two. I brought home her orange sister instead because she was slightly bigger than the little black. Apparently, I was destined to have that black female, because I later rescued her as an adult out of a family home where she was not well cared for. That orange female was my foundation - Van Hoozer bloodlines going back to English champions. She was gorgeous, even by todays standards, and if Id known then what I know now, shed have been my first champion.\BEST IN SHOWHNERKEWB.CUCMMS PHOTOTravisBut showing my first champion had t wait till I had pretty much raised m3 family, changed my marital status, ant built my home and show kennel. I had at ideal in the kind of Poms I was looking for. I liked the look of my foundation bitcl and liked her vigorous, sound backgroum so I set out to buy individuals that looket like her. I had also become a face freak falling in love with the Aristic bloodlim faces. I found an adorable face shot o Corns Duke Dragonfly and hung it up 01 my bulletin board as a reminder of thi facial look that would be my goal.I had already decided from breeding ant showing cattle and horses, that I would no inbreed, but that I would do a sort o inbreeding. I would pick a look I wantet choosing individuals from the variou bloodlines that had that look - rather that picking one individual from one line ant concentrating that. Besides breeding individuals from various bloodlines tha had the look I wanted, I liked thi linebreeding on my favorites so I did a lo of that and still do. Linebreeding for typ probably is closer inbreeding than thosi who actually do the bloodline inbreeding So many of my Poms represent a lot 0 different bloodlines, but the type has beei established by now after 35 plus years o breeding. It is a slower way, but I believi the get are sounder of mind and bod this way. I acknowledge this way isn everyones way, but it works for me and feel better about the soundness and vigor And since I live with my Poms Im happie with a wide range of character and broa intelligence and good health.

Humans can develop those brains. I like my Poms to be easy to live with. I strongly believe environment and mind conditioning from a very early age gives us marvelous animals to live and work with. Pomeranians are very intelligent little creatures and handling them from birth is extremely important. Opening their minds to challenges and adventuresome learning through environmental stimulation makes a big difference in the kind of adult they become. Animal breeders of domesticated pets can learn from human research that the correct handling and stimulation of newborns and babies can be strong, positive influences.My first champion was Ch. Finchs Wee Heart Andy Gibb. I fell in love with his adorable little face, huge coat, and bone and leg coat.

Annie, with Bobbi Glaser handling, nearly finished with three 5 point majors her back to back 4 point majors lacked only one bitch each day to be a 5 point major.Marlene and Marlin Presser offered Apolloette Wild Fire to me when he was 14 months old. He was just starting to come out of his year old shed. Handler Jackie Rayner finished Fire in 9 shows. In the meantime, I was ownerhandling Travis Ch. Finchs He Walks On Water. I had 11 points two majors on him. Since I was already burned out on driving and traveling from 25 years on the horse show circuit, I was quite willing toPage 52ship him to Jackie to finish him. I wasnt trained in the art of properly trimming to show, so my little Travis was looking like in the words of another handler a wooly caterpillar. I loved his long thick coat, but I knew it was time to put him with someone who could trim to win. Travis finished from the puppy class at 10 months.It wasnt long after Travis landed on the east coast that I heard hes a best in show dog. Very intriguing since that was what Id been hearing from a dog show friend since Travis was 4 months old. Travis is my first home bred champion. Travis has won 9 all-breed Best In Shows, 3 Best In Specialty Shows, Multiple Group Wins, 1 APC top winning Pom, Hall of Fame, Westminister Award Of Merit, Gold Club Member, Westminister Best of Breed, and the most wins for a black pom in the history of the breed. His accomplishments doesnt stop with his individual wins. He has proven he is no fluke as some proclaimed. Any stud that can produce this many champion sons and daughters and grandkids to the point that judges recognize the look, attitude and movement and ask if the Pom they judged is a Walks On Water offspring, he is way too consistent to be a fluke. And when hes bred a few pet bitches that .A Parti hopefultSToughieproducechampions that look and move like him, thats not a fluke. His son Rudy seems to be carrying those potem genes too.

She left thrilled Id trust her with Babe. Cathy didnt disappoint me she made Babe a champion. Cathy has finished nine of my champions. We are co-workers on Project Show Partis. There is a specialPage 56place in both our hearts for these fascinating color patterns with then- special personalities.Since I have been a breeder for over 35 years, Id like to share some experience and tips that work for me. I have never felt raising Pomeranians was easy. My vet tells me there are other breeds that are easier to raise. But Im not interested in other breeds - only Poms Often you have to will them to live. I have lost a few stress puppies, but I have saved a lot of them. I dont give them sugar water or honey AND stress puppies are not the same as hypoglycemia. I repeat, it is NOT the same Stress puppies need electrolytes the sugar or dextrose only adds quick energy I use a product called P.E.P. a powder to mix with water and strongly believe every Pom owner should have some electrolyte product on hand. It has electrolytes, vitamins and minerals in it. It can be mixed a half cup at a time and a packet will last a long time. I give it to pups before they are even weaned off their mothers weaning at 7- 8 weeks. I give care packages with each puppy with some of this in it with directions on how to mix it and when to give it and where to purchase it -1 call it a survival kit. Even if the puppies dont need it, it is a good preventive and it is good for sham. Once all the electrolytes are used up in any animal humans too, the animal dies. Cattle ranchers and swine producers have known this and have used electrolytes for years. I just like the P.E.P. because they will usually drink it over plain water. I dont stop at just the electrolyte replacement. If the pup isnt up and running within a half hour after giving the electrolytes, I use vitamin K in a very controlled minuscule portion and this must be used with extreme caution Nutrical or Dyne is a good high caloric product as well as the canned Hills Prescription Diet Canine AD dog food. Because puppies are prone to sometimes having soft stools with the weaning process, I feed them Prescription Eukanuba Low Residue 1 ImCh. Finchs Fabulous BabePuppy food and once a day they get meat mixed with pumpkin canned pumpkin you purchase in the grocery store. Ive been raising puppies all these years and just learned that special tip from my Swedish friends and my vet confirmed it sweet potatoes or carrots - pureed like baby food would also work, but it must be flavored with meat or they wont eat it. Does it work - you will be amazedI am a strong advocate of giving only half doses of vaccine to Pomeranian pups, especially to the tiny ones - possibly not to the bigger ones for one main reason - because a regular dose can kill them or at minimum send them into a stress mode that will make you work very hard to pull them out of it. I know vets who advocate this and some who strongly oppose this theory. What I do know is that since Ive started half dosing I havent lost one so I wont knock the theory since it is working for me. I switch to full dosing as soon as I feel it is safe.My veterinarian is a very important part of my breeding program. I believe that if your Pom needs intensive care particularly requiring an overnight stay, that the Pom needs to go home with the vet. Too many vets leave these Poms in their clinics overnight and they die. It is very tough to convince most vets that these Poms are notPage 57THE GlgfRISE M ShlhES STAR ATTRACTION StarlettRISE M SHINES PARTI MLSIC66 _ 5riapmonu tCOMGRATULATIOMS DIANE FINCH ON YOUR KENNEL VISIT.

If my Pom has to die, it will be with me and in my arms, not alone in a vets office overnight I am lucky, two of my vets have given overnight intensive care at their home and my current vet is one of them.Unless you have a stud that is a parti or has Bev Nor bloodline, youve probably discovered how difficult it is to breed your female. As a breeder, I teach my males to hand breed and I train my females to enable the male to enter more horizontally than vertically. I put a pet bed between her back legs, widen her back leg stance and drop her to her elbows by pushing her down at the withers. If it sounds like you dont have enough hands, thats right, but your females will learn to cooperate. I learned this from a veteran Pom show breeder who raised Poms for 50 years. She also told me to always have a vet Open the bitch before taking her to the stud.If you send your female away to a stud, I believe it is absolutely necessary to have a brucella AND vaginal culture. And yes, even virgin bitches can carry a bacteria that can prevent her from conceiving. My horse breeding days taught me how this happens to a virgin. Since the rectum is higher than the vulva, the mare contaminated herself with e-coli causing infection preventing her from conceiving. Yes, Ive seen the same thing happen with canines, same way. So this test is to help the bitch conceive. I prefer to keep an outside breeding female for three weeks after breeding before flying her back to her owner. I also require a female coming in for breeding to be thoroughly bathed and combed out. I dont loose my cool a lot, but sending me a dirty bitch will do it. It is also a very wise practice to have the rabies shot a few months before she comes in season since I dont believe in giving any shots or medications while in season or pregnant and she has to have a current rabies certificate before shipping.I am very much against whelping a bitch on newspaper or shredded newspaper. She should have a nice soft absorbent bed with a safe warm mat like a Lectro kennel underneath. Heating pads meant for human use have no place in a Pom breeding program theyre too hot and unsafe In the colder climates like mine an incubator environment can be fashioned by using one of these heating mats in a wire cage by covering it with a towel or towels with a plastic lid to ensure the comfort of the tiniest newborn for the first few days of life. With the advice of my vet I do not let mothers eat the afterbirth if I can prevent it and if they are a nervous whelper, all the babies are placed in an incubator environment till she has finished. If a baby needs to be supplemented with additional milk, I find a human premie baby bottles I find the pet nursers worthless to be the best and since they already have a hole in the nipple, flow is precise on each nipple. The liquid milk replacer is the only way to go since the powder always has clumps that clog the nipple hole. I used to tube feed and gave it up entirely.If an expectant mother has not delivered within two hours after the first waterbag appears, we are off to the vet for two views of pelvic x-rays - whether shes a free-whelper or first timer. Or if I feel a puppy in the birth canal and not making fast enough progress after the waterbag appears and it is before 2 hours, were on our way to the vet. If I have any doubt about if a female can free-whelp, I get two pelvic x-rays before I ever breed her. Why wonder or take a chance I want my bitches to free whelp - a c-section kennel is a dead end breeding program as far as I am concerned no matter how many champions it produces The veteran breeders know which bloodlines are c-section dead ends After having read the x-rays on several of my best broods, my vet says that puppies could fall out of them. That is the kind of inside structure I like to see.Page 60Finchs Pomeranians is proud to be the breeder of 20 champions.Ch. Finchs Raydeeo Dee Jay orange sableCh. Finchs He Walks On Water black Ch.

Reasonably priced, inquiries welcome.Page 95Every Which WaybyDr. A1 GrossmanLong ago and far away when I was a complete neophyte I dreamed about being a big success in the world of Pure Bred Dogs. I tried to list all of the objectives I wanted to master and the obstacles that stood in my way. Funny thing was the objectives list was much longer than the obstacles list, but the obstacles list was more difficult to scale.A simple objective will give you an idea. Objective 1 Breed the best show dog in the history of the breed. Obstacle How in the hell do you do this My wife and I soon realized that before we could start on the road to meeting any of the objectives, we had to learn more about breeding and exhibiting Pure Bred Dogs. O.K., that said, how to go about doing thisWe discovered another breeder in our small college town who had limited finances as we did but who had studied about the breed for quite some time and was well acquainted with its history and famous dogs of the breed. We spent hours with her drinking bad coffee and fastening on every word of wisdom she shared with us. We later discovered a large kennel about 70 miles away where we made the acquaintance of the owners. In exchange for spending long Saturdays and Sundays helping to trim and groom their dogs, they shared their knowledge and experience with us. As I look back upon those days, I realize they were a puppy mill, albeit a good puppy mill. Those were our mentors. After almost two years of learning and calluses on our fingers from the grooming scissors, we felt we were ready to procure our first good bitch. We had two wonderful pets, the 17" hairless wonder and the 17" long bitch. We loved them, and they were our companions, BUT they were not the dogs we wanted to go forward with.After studying each issue of the breed magazine, we came to the conclusion thatthere were certain bloodlines that produced our visual image of the standard. We wrote to a number of them and the silence was deafening. Finally, we received a reply from a kennel in the far west we were at the University of Georgia at the time telling us they had just what we wanted at a price we could afford. However, they would not ship by air so would put her on a train instead. 6 days later the train arrived at our little southern town and the most emaciated tiny boned creature emerged cautiously from her crate. By the time we finished with the Vet and nursed her back to health, we had a third rate specimen who was a spook. So much for buying Pigs in a Poke.It took us six months to recover financially from that adventure. This time we were gong to see before we bought. A trip to Chicago to a very famous kennel resulted in the purchase of a good foundation bitch. We were pleased with what we got, and the owner was helpful to us for almost our entire life in dogs. His knowledge and suggestions put us firmly on the right track. We were now ready to launch our study of Canine Genetics so we could understand pedigrees and what dominant and recessive meant. Luckily for us, the University had a wonderful Vet school, and I took courses in genetics and animal husbandry. Luckily too, I was a faculty member and could enroll in those courses at a very reduced cost. After a year we were ready to flyOur first litter was planned to the nth degree. We knew exactly what we would get, and they would all be champions. Sound familiar The breeding was made to the desired dog and, in the required 63 days, the litter arrived. What an education that first whelping was. Two breech deliveries out of five and a bitch who took her time from 2 a.m. to noon the next day. What a wreck we were. The puppies all looked healthy and nursed like mad. That part was OK. As they opened their eyes and started to try to move around, we began to question the all champion concept. Maybe two great ones. By thePagB 96time 8 weeks rolled around, we realized what we had from the very best bloodlines was 5 nice pets. We sold them off quickly and chalked it up to experience.We learned just breeding to the top winner with a good brood bitch wasnt enough. Top winner does not mean top producer. It also meant we had to improve on our bitch line if we were going to move ahead.Well, improve we did. In 24 litters, including the first debacle, we bred 25 champions. Among them were top 10 winners of BIS, BOB, and Group winners and dogs that completed their titles easily. Also among them were the almost dogs. I bet there were a half dozen wh acquired major points who never finished. Most because their owners did not know what they were doing. But thats another story for another time.Moral Go slow and easy and make sure of your knowledge before putting it to the test.Second-Hand Dogsby Gina SpadaforiEach year thousands of people buy a furry little purebred puppy, bring it home, change their minds once the pup becomes a reality, and then get rid of it. This all too common practice gave rise, nearly 20 years ago to the breed rescue movement, which complements animal-shelter efforts, receiving dogs directly from people who are giving them up, and taking others out of the shelter. Some rescue volunteers provide foster homes for the dogs, then solve their health and behavior problems and place them with new owners. Others end up keeping dogs that are difficult to place.Joan Gibson Reid of Elk Grove, California, corresponding secretary for the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America, has been breeding these short-legged herding dogs for almost 30 years. One of her dogs was the top Corgiin the nation for three years running, but shes just as proud of the pet that came into the rescue program old, blind, and unwanted, and lived with her until he died.He just learned where the furniture was, she says, explaining why she decided to add the old dog to her family. We never tried to place him.Most dogs dont have the same problems as the old corgi. Rescue volunteers say the typical purebred coming into rescue is young, healthy, and a victim of circumstances.For potential pet owners looking for a purebred, rescued dogs can be a real bargain. Although rescue programs vary widely in their policies, most dogs are placed in return for a donation that covers veterinary costs, typically for spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and parasite control.Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue SPDR has about 300 volunteers who foster dogs, handle paperwork, answer phones, or staff booths at community events. These include front-line representatives for more than 100 breeds, volunteers who coordinate taking in and placing dogs. A rep for a popular breed, like the Labrador Retriever, may volunteer up to 20 hours a week, says SPDR president Lyn Bingham. A rep for a Lakeland Terrier may get one, maybe two dogs a year.Seattle has one of the best breed-rescue programs in the nation in other areas, a little detective work is needed to find out whos working with what breed. Shelters often maintain a list of breed rescue agents in their area veterinarians may also be a source of referral. Perhaps the best way t locate a rescue program, though, is to call the breed clubs national referral contact to find regional clubs with rescue programs. The American Kennel Club lists national contacts for every breed. To get the list, call 919233-9767 or visit the AKC Web site www.akc.org.Breed rescue groups usually require prospective adopters to fill out an application and work with volunteers to find the dog thats right for them.Page 97LOVELY POMERANIANSVictoria E Lovely 1406-D 54th Ave E Tacoma,, WA 98424-1284 253863-8608 home faxE-Mail LovelyPomsAOL.comCh.
