Severe reactions to vaccines are rare, but can occur. If a severe reaction occurs, rash your puppy to your veterinarian for epinephrine treatment. Mild stress reactions such as diarrhea are fairly common and if unchecked can lead to hypoglycemia. Following vaccines, keep your puppy warm, out of drafts and make sure he eats normally.I received quite a few responses on this subject. Nearly everyone has their own vaccination scheduled that works for them. We have compiled the responses coupled with our own experience in recommending the following vaccination schedule for Pom puppies6 weeks Parvo8-9 weeks DA2PPv Distemper, Parvo, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, ParvoII weeks DA2PPv14 weeks DA2PPv17 weeks DA2PPv6 months Bordetella, RabiesAnnual booster DA2PPv, BordetellaIt is best for puppies to be weaned from their dams for 2 weeks prior to giving vaccinations or the protective immunity from the dam will interfere with the vaccination. You should only give this early vaccine if Parvo is a problem in your area, or if you have visiting dogs going in and out of your home or kennel. Many Pom breeders including myself do not give Lepto or Corona to Poms unless they are going to be shown in areas where these diseases might be a problem. These are extremely rare diseases and the vaccinations can cause reactions in toy dogs. If your veterinarian insists on giving a vaccine for these diseases, it is best to give them separately over the course of several days rather than in combination with other vaccines. I monitor all my puppies closely after vaccinations and give a product called Dyne available from most veterinary supply catalogs to them for several days after vaccinations. 2 cc twice a day for Pom puppies usually worksOur questions for next month is How often should I worm my Pom and with whatYou may direct new questions or answers to these questions toAnnette Davis 391 N.

Brown, DVM.Normal Hair GrowthHair grows in a cyclic pattern. During anagen the growth period hair grows in length by mitosis dividing of cells. At the end of anagen, the hair bulb where growth occurs constricts causing the area above the hair bulb to thicken. This transitional period is calledPage 8catagen. After a variable length of time, telogen the resting period is begun. Weeks or months later, the whole cycle begins again.Postpartum Hair LossTelogen effluvium is the hair loss after the birth of puppies which occurs in the bitch. It is not a diseased state of the hair coat. The loss is due to the action of programming hormones which causes most individual hair shafts to pass into telogen the resting phase of hair growth. Normally, each hair shaft does this individually. The synchronized telogen hair stage causes most of the coat to fall out in a large group simultaneously. The reason most dogs have a more magnificent hair coat after puppies is because all of their hair follicles become active while growing back in a synchronized manner.The following information was obtained from Genetics of the Dog by Malcolm B. Willis.Chemistry of ColorEach hair has a central core medulla in which there are one or more rows of cells alternating with air spaces. Around the medulla is a solid cortex and around that a thin cuticle. The relative size of cortex and medulla will depend upon the type of hair guard hair or undercoat and the breed which bears it. The coat color will depend upon the pigments in the medulla and cortex of the hair so that in studying the genetic factors affecting coat color we are really studying those influencing pigment granules.There are seven different ways in which hair pigment granules could be altered and hence various color combinations be observed. All colors aredependent upon the relative changes o these particular attributes.1. Granule color2. Granule shape long oval, oval round, irregular3. Number of granules per medullary cell4. Number of granules per unit oi cortex5. Clumping of granules into loose oi dense arrangements6. Granule size7. Tendency to distal arrangements within medullary cellsIn mammals the pigmentary colors are very limited in chemical terms. Usually, they are only hemoglobin and melanins. There are two forms of melanin. - eumelanin brown or black and phaeomelanin yellow or reddish. Coat color depends upon the presence or absence of these types in the medullar cells or the cortex and the various arrangements of them as listed above.What is important is to understand that melanins are not formed at a specific time but at different stages of fetal and post-natal life depending upon the particular type. Some kinds are formed at a fairly early stage so that the animal has the final adult color from birth, other colors are still being formed at birth and may not reach their final form until the animal is fully grown.The lengthy process of color formation does not make for easy assessment of color in dogs. The breeder who registers his stock at weaning or earlier may, in all honesty, make errors in the colors allotted to each. It does not necessarily follow that inheritance of a color in one breed in the same as that in another. The color we see is going to be affected by coat length as well as by genetic make-up. Long hair will reflect light differently to short hair and hence can alter the visible color.Page 9Ch.

See you all inTexasMarge Kranzfelder 831 623-9265 Fax 831 623-2612 e-mail kranzmarholinet.comThe Relationship of Coat Color and Eye ColorThere are three eye color alleles with incomplete dominance Thus we see eye color ranging from very dark brown through to light yellow. There is the added complication that, in optical terms, the color of the surrounding coat will influence the judgment of the observer. The eye shade will be inherited independent of coat color but when dilution genes are present this will not be the case. The blue dilution gene d will, when present as dd, cause eye color to become a smoky gray. The chocolate coat color allele b will, in the bb state, dilute dark eyes to chestnut, or hazel to yellow. There is another factor called ruby eye which affects retina pigmentation so that a light shone onto the eye is reflected as red rather than the normal yellow-green. This is said to be recessive to normal eye color.Geneticists such as Willis consider eye color an aesthetic issue. He believes these types of issues should receive less of a priority on a hierarchy of traits you are concerned about in your breeding program than ones of structural and mental soundness. He says it cannot be overemphasized that insistence upon dark eyes is, in many instances, an attempt to seek the impossible. In dogs which are bb in genotype the very dark eye is genetically impossible to achieve because of the action of the chocolate coat color gene upon eye pigmentation. The same is true of dilution gene d.Coat Density and LengthThe study of the mode of inheritance of coat density hairs per unit surface area is made complex because environmental issues climate, food, health are very influential. Willis does believe color itself may affect density as well. Some coat colors seem to producedenser coats than others. This is consistent with Pomeranian breeders belief it is easier to get a harsher, denser coat in sable color than lighter colors. Willis states it is generally held that pigmented areas on parti-colored coats grow longer than the neighboring white hairs and black hairs grow longer than red. Longer is a relative term within a breed. The genetic mode of inheritance of the proportion of undercoat to guard hairs is not understood at the time of Williswriting.Performance - - kJ News and ViewsvbyBarbara McClatcheyFeatured Obedience PomPicture yourself at the Heinz Pupperoni Classic, the national dog obedience competition that only the very best obedience dogs are even allowed to enter. Picture a performance so near perfection that in the three trials, the dog loses a total of only 3 points out of 600. And then picture this dog, not a Golden Retriever, not a Border Collie, but a Pomeranian, one of our own.Ziggy was rescued in 1995, at one year old, by Patricia Cook of Junction City, Oregon. She named him Scotswood Ziggy Stardust, and started out to use him as a demo dog in her obedience training classes. As time went on, however, she began to see that Ziggy was able to do bigger and better things, so she set her sights on showing him in competition. Having already shown 8 other breeds to multiple AKC obedience titles currently 32, Pat recognized Ziggy's potential and knew what to do with it.Page 12Ziggy began by being terrified of feet, and of being stepped on, having spent his first year in a home with teenagers who werent always cautious about where they put their feet, so Pat spent the entire first training year working on this problem. She says that she still needs to be very cautious and aware of the movement of her own feet when training and showing him. She began by withholding all food except as a reward for accepting the presence of feet nearby. Subsequently, she trained him to accept foot movement near him, rewarding him with food for not jumping away if she moved a foot Pat still uses Ziggys dinner, piece by piece, as a training reward.Pat says that Ziggy is enthusiastic about his work. He lives to train and loves performing. I sometimes think that one of our main goals in training Poms should be to explain to them that people are watching them. They do so love to show offl The high energy level she sees in Ziggy is one of the main reasons Pat likes training this Pom. She says that she doesnt have to keep pumping him up. He was at first uninterested in toys, but watching her play tug with her other dogs stimulated first his interest and then his desire to possess. This interest in the toy then helped her to teach him a retrieve.Living in the country, Ziggy loves hiking and swimming with the other dogs, as well as playing frisbie and retrieving full-size bumpers. He also had one brief opportunity to herd sheep, at which time he proved to Pat, who had previously doubted it, that Pomeranians really are descended from herding dogs. She says he ran so hard that he finally collapsed.Ziggy received his CD title in April of 1998 during his time showing in Novice, he received several HITS. He now has 2 legs toward his CDX, and is trained all the way through Utility.Oh, and the Classic Pat Cook andZiggy took 2nd place in Novice, missing7" by only 112 pointsBook ReviewThe Man Who Listens to Horses, by Monty Roberts. Published by Ballantine Books, 1997.I know, you thought you were reading edog publication. So why horses Monty Roberts is one of the horse whisperers or whom the movie Horse Whisperer was based, though he prefers the term horse gentler. The introduction to this book outlines this new approach to animal training learning to think like the animal you are working with. As Roberts points out, there is nothing new in his approach-its just that it is finally achieving wide-spread interest and recognition.The book itself is autobiographical, starting with Roberts upbringing by a father who was a trainer of the old school, whether for horses or children. An appreciation of that fact really strikes you when you leam that for trying successfully, too to train a horse without the violent methods prescribed by his father, Roberts was beaten with a heavy chain, and required medical care in a hospital. And that was only one of many such incidents. Nevertheless, through a lifetime of setbacks that would have sent most of us into a tailspin, Monty Roberts continued with what he first learned from the wild mustangs and later put to use rehabilitating insane horses. As an example of this understanding, Roberts learned that when a horse licks out his tongue and then makes chewing motions, he is saying Im a grass-eater, and not a threat to you. Roberts looks for this sign as an indication that the previously recalcitrant horse is now ready to work with the trainer. When Queen Elizabeth 11 became interested in his methods, she invited him to demonstrate those methods to her in England. Fascinated and pleased with his ability to gentle untrained horses, the Queen sent Roberts members of her Household Cavalry and others of herPage 13r jjM.__________[ kMj m' tii-AIIOCTOBER 1998BESTOFWEED RrokohlerkempCh.

Roberts says, If you act like youve only got fifteen minutes, itll take all day. Act like youve got all day and itll only take fifteen minutes. That never applied more than it does to training our Pomeranians.If you read this book, you will never look at animal training-whether horses or dogs-in the same way.

Ruth Ripperger has set up a site with something of everything. One of my favorite parts, alas greatly under-utilized, is the Discussion Board, where you may post questions and answers on Pom-related questions about Obedience, breeding, medical matters, feeding, and more. There is a section on Rescue, including postings of dogs available and a place for success stories. Ruth also offers breeders a chance to display their own web sites, and several have taken advantage of this opportunity. Check it out.The Winners Every Pomeranian that is loved enough to be trained is a real winner.

Exhibitors ave taken what has been the situation in 11 subjective judgment sports and used it, n the name of better officiating, to iemean the role of the judge.Apparently weve learned from the TV monster that is perfectly all right to riticize the officiating. In fact it is onsidered a sport. Watch and listen to the ualysts at major diving and ice skating vents if you really want to hear second jessing. However, you dont see the oveming federations kick their officials tround.Only recently has AKC truly begun to vork with the three major dog judges issociations, which were formed to espond to the publics views and to ducate and defend the judges rank. In he past AKC has continued to arbitrarily tnd in isolation, come up with their own olutions to the training and approval of udges.In my humble opinion my thats hard o write the solution to the problem of letter judges does not lie with the judges ind AKC alone but with the exhibitors hemselves. As in any profession, judges 'all between excellent and good. The ncompetents are weeded out by exhibitors ailing to give them an entry. This is a iroven technique. You know, medical and aw school students are required to pass all he courses with good grades West Point md Annapolis plebes do too. Upon graduation all these students are ranked in rrder of academic achievement. Even the ast in the class is considered competent, recause the inadequate ones flunked out arly on. Some of our best in these rrofessions have come from the bottom prartile of their class. Why Because icademic knowledge alone does not make i good lawyer, doctor, naval officer, or, ior that matter, a dog show judge. There ire many other forces at work.When you go to select a lawyer ordoctor do you ask where he ranked in his Claw No I Instead you ask friends and colleagues which one they recommend. Their recommendations are based on the success they had with that professional on their case. You wouldnt go to a tax lawyer for your divorce action, so why should you go to a Sporting group judge to judge Terriers for you. Yes, I know they are approved for those breeds. Certainly we cannot expect the vast majority of judges to be equally competent in every breed they undertake to judge. It is like saying you have a law degree and can practice many specialties as long as you study a bit. Hey, even lawyers on the TV show The Practice" have their own specialtiesJudges are forced into become multiple group judges by the hard facts of economic life. Many clubs cannot afford a plethora of judges for their show. Airfares, hotel accommodations, etc. run up a tab that can be appreciably reduced by hiring a judge who is versatile enough to do a number of groups. Everybody knows this. It is a fact of life in our sport. So, we have generalists who are reasonably good in a number of breeds. Basically they put up sound dogs. However, that may not be good enough for the exhibitor who wants one who understands all the fine nuances of their breed and who, of course, puts up their type of dog.I strongly feel the answer to our so called judging problem lies with the general run of exhibitor. Many are uninformed of even the rudiments of canine genetics and cannot tell you why the descriptive words of their own breed standard were put there in the first place. Recently an exhibitor came up to a judge in a ring next to mine complaining that their dog, which placed second in the class, had a much better bend of stifle than the winner when the breed standard specifically calls for stifles moderately bent. In fact had they read the general description of their own breed standard, they would know that it says" their function as sled dog for heavyPage 20frightening must be given consideration above all else." What kind of sled dog would have excessive bend of stifle. In this breed judges are looking for pulling power, not the speed of a Saluki. On another occasion an irate exhibitor questioned my ancestry because I penalized his Cocker Spaniel for excessive coat. His explanation for the overly profuse coat which the standard says to severely penalize, and which hid the outline of the dog, was that everybody was breeding that way, and, the dog didnt hunt anyway. He did not seem the least impressed when I informed him of the role and purpose for which the Cocker was bred. His response OR dont matterI have had the opportunity over the years to be a member of a number of dog clubs as my profession took me around the country. In many I became the education chairman a thankless task let me tell you. The lack of knowledge by club members,is astonishing. Even those who have been in the game for awhile are amazed at the information that is out there for them to learn. However, no one has put it together in an organized form that can directly benefit the exhibitor as he passes through the ranks or drops out because of lack of success.Teaching genetics in the abstract is a waste of time. Instead, it has to be specifically related to the task they have at hand. Maybe it is through teaching them about the inheritance of cataract in their breed and how carriers can decimate a breed before they are discovered. Or about color breedings to come up with the right patterns and colors they want. There has to be a" hook" or the subject will bore half of them to death. Any program must be designed to serve a need and to offer means to a solution of a current problem facing breedersexhibitors. It is no different than making the curriculum in our high schools meaningful to our kids. Often, yesterdays solutions are not theanswer to todays problems. So where do they get this vital information in a form they can profitably use Of course they can hire a Quentin LaHam to teach them about anatomy and gait and George Alstor to teach them how to handle. These are great programs. Hell, they can even hire me to befuddle them. While excellent in themselves, these programs are not the complete answer. Ask yourself, of the thirty attending this seminar today, how many will be around five years from now The answer is about one-third. This means you would have to ask these gentlemen back again and again. Thats great for oui pocketbooks but doesnt solve the problem of organized and progressive learning at your fingertips when you need it.What we as a fancy need is some help in developing a model curriculum with excellent teaching aids for use by all dog breeders and also for neophyte judges. And AKC is probably the organization to spearhead the effort. Just such a proposal has now been made to the powers that be at 51 Madison. Lets see how it is received. I know AKC has many good causes to support and I know their resources are finite but I believe that developing a national curriculum to be offered at the local level would pay enormous dividends to the entire American dog fancy.A1 Grossman is a judge of all Sporting breads and the publisher of Doral PublishingSEE YOU IN DALLAS FOR THENATIONAL SPECIALTYPage 21lawaiis 1 Pomeranian and9 All-Breed for 1998BESTINSHOWi w,'EMyfIBISS, mSA Ch.

The current myth about feeding raw meat to pets is an example. This myth has no scientific basis. The truth is feeding raw meat to pets creates the potential for health problems. The health dangers resulting from feeding a raw meat diet are backed by years of scientific canine and feline nutrition studies by researchers in veterinary colleges and animal nutritionists at reputable pet food manufacturers. Ralston Purina Company began its pet nutrition studies over 70 years ago. The wealth of pet nutrition studies from many researchers tells us that dogs and cats cannot live on meat alone.Meat is not Nutritionally CompleteMeat, by itself, is not a complete and balanced diet In human diets, meat is part of a well-balanced meal. In addition to meat our meals include fruits, vegetables, cheese, and other foods that combined with mea, give us the balanced nutrition we need. Good quality pet foods provide the equivalent of a nutritious meal for humans, delivering a proper balance of nutrients appropriate for the pets age and level of activity.Proper Levels of Calcium Are MissingOne of the nutritional deficiencies of meat is its very low level of calcium, a mineral animals require for proper bone and tooth development. Calcium also plays an important role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and transmission of nerve impulses. High levels of raw meat in a pets diet do not supply adequate levels of calcium to meet these needs.Calcium does not work alone. Mineralnutrients are interrelated. Calcium am phosphorus have a definite relationship i the formation of bones and teeth, providei a proper balance is maintained. Th appropriate levels of calcium am phosphorus are usually not present in meal If large quantities of meat are fed ove time, skeletal problems may develop.Liver and ToxicityLiver is extremely high in vitamin A, fat-soluble vitamin that is stored by th body. When liver is fed consistently i large quantities, vitamin A toxicity ca result. This may lead to improper bon development, lameness, and bon decalcification.Threat of Bacterial Infection and ParasitesRaw meats are often the carrier o bacteria and parasites. Salmonella, fo example, comes in more than 2,000 strain and occurs in all types of animals and ma create the risk of salmonellosis in pets fe raw meats. Salmonella can be responsibl for a variety of conditions, from diarrhe and intestinal disease to life-threatenin systemic diseases.Certain species of tapeworm can b found in raw meat and passed on to a pe who ingests the infected meat.Commercial pet foods are careful processed and cooked to protect again salmonella or internal parasite infections.Meat Consumption and SurvivalIt is true that animals consume a certai amount of muscle meat when they eat wild animal for survival. However, the also consume the bones, intestinal contents and internal organs which provide a mor complete and balanced diet.Attempting to supplement a raw met diet with vitamins and minerals may bPage 25mWIN NE RSVSAN ANTONIOFALL'98 0 r l^sTsosa-JSanlee-Antom Academy AwardsOscarscar shewn with Judge Mrs. Michele Billings.

Unless they are present in the proper amounts, a pet may suffer from malnutrition.When it comes to providing complete and balanced nutrition for your pet, high quality commercial pet foods have done the work for you. They provide all the nutrients normal, healthy dogs need for their particular life stage.Purina News ServiceThe First Critical Steps in Handling an Injured DogIf your dog is injured, the best course of action is to get it to a veterinary clinic as soon as possible. However, there are times when prompt veterinary care may not be available. Your challenge is to remain calm and think clearly.Speak in a soothing tone of voice as you call your injured dog by name. If your dog seems inclined to bite, which it may do if frightened or in pain, protect yourself by restraining it.You can restrain a small dog by placing a blanket over it. To help keep an injured dog from biting, make a muzzle with a long strip of fabric. Loop the fabric strip over its muzzle. Knot it on top and again under the chin. Then tie the ends behind the ears.Preventing ShockWhen a dog is severely hurt, ill, or becomes unconscious, the cardiovascular system may fail to provide the body tis sues with adequate oxygen. Keep the injured dog warm by wrapping it in a blanket and placing it in a warm room or in a well-heated car. Taking it to a vet erinarian as soon as possible is critical.Treating WoundsIf a wound is superficial, clean it with anantiseptic. Monitor the healing process to be certain no infection develops. If an infection does occur, seek veterinaryattention immediately.If the wound is large and bleeding profusely, use a cloth or your hand to apply direct pressure to the wound to control the bleeding. Place a gauze pad or in the case of an automobile accident, an improvised pad over the wound. Wrap it tightly with fabric strips, tying the ends securely. You may be able to hold the bandage in place if someone is with you. Avoid removing the bandage to check the wound because the bleeding may start again.A tourniquet should not be used. It is usually not as effective as properly applied pressure. If applied incorrectly, a tourniquet interrupts the blood supply and may cause the loss of a limb.Signs of Internal BleedingInternal bleeding may result from an automobile or other serious accident. Coughing up blood, vomit or excrement that is bright red to reddish brown or black may indicate injury to the stomach or intestines. Seek veterinary help as fast as possible.Be PreparedSaving time is critical in any emergency. Keep information concerning emerqency contacts for your dog near your telephone and in your billfold or purse. This information should include the telephone number and address of your veterinarian, the closest pet emergency clinic that has night and weekend hours and telephone numbers for local poison control centers.Before rushing your dog to yourPage 28veterinarian, telephone first to be certain he or she will be at the clinic to receive your dog.If possible, in case of poisoning or suspected poisoning, bring a sample of the poison to your veterinarian in its original container, or a portion of the ingested plant or berry or any vomitus.If you cannot reach your veterinarian immediately, contact the nearest poison control center.Free Information To Help YouRalston Purina Company is offering free information to help you identify the nature of an emergency and steps that can be taken to handle the emergency until veterinary care is available.

She was bom November 2, 1939, in Killbuck, and she was a daughter of the late George Geib and Ruth Pyers Geib Young. She was a homemaker and enjoyed the breeding and raising of Pomeranians. Judy was a charter member and active worker in the Ohio Valley Pomeranian Club. She was also very active in the American Pomeranian Club doing most of her work behind the scenes, such as promoting the Pomeranian Review, assisting the President, her husband Jim, with the governing of the Club. She has many devoted friends in the Pomeranian show circle. She also enjoyed gardening and maintained lovely flower beds and vegetable gardens..Judy very much wanted to attend the American Pomeranian Club Summer Specialty the Ohio Club sponsored. She was able to attend and enjoyed it immensely. Another goal was to attend her sons wedding which she was able to do.Judy and Jim worked hard to develop a recognizable Pomeranian line based of the Bonner bloodlines. They were very successful in their endeavors and produced many lovely dogs. They had just started specialing a handsome dog and were doing quite well with him. Their dogs, except for the old ones, have been placed in selected breeders homes where the line will be continued.Judy is survived by her husband, Jim, whom she married March 27, 1962, and her two sons, Kip of Ragersville and Kim of Sugarcreek, five grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and one sister-Midge Geib of California. One brother is deceased.In keeping with Judys wishes, her body was cremated and a memorial service was held in the Sugarcreek Free Methodist Church.Judy will most certainly be greatly missed, and she will not be forgotten.Page 37Rol 'N Del PomeraniansLJBreeding for quality.

This was the case with the recent death of Tony Tellez, a Houston area Pom person who was loved, respected, and admired by Pom people nationwide. Tony at age 55 passed away from a bizarre pneumonia, that refused all antibiotics, all treatments, all special care, and took his life the first day of this year 1999. We miss him terribly.Tony worked hard in the Pomeranian Club of Houston in all capacities... president, show chairman, combined specialty representative...and he loved the breed, loved the dog show world and loved the people.Tony and his wife, Connie, worked in the world of Poms for many years and, as personal friends, we enjoyed a great friendship with him and his family, often attending their childrens confirmations, graduations, weddings, and other events. Sadly, Tony and Connie parted company, but Tony continued dog activities. He worked in every phase of dog clubs and shows...in the Houston Club, the Dallas-Ft. Worth Club, and the American Pom Club, always right there when and where he was needed.Tony had recently resided in New Braunfels, Texas, with his lovely companion, Renate Richter a dog person in her own rights, working with her in her groomingboarding ship up in the Texas hill country. He maintained his apartment in Houston, and he and Renate returned on weekends to take care of business, club and other responsibilities here. We always loved having them here.Some time ago, I very happily relinquished the presidency of the Houston Pom Club to Tony, and he magnificently did the job Always meeting deadlines, performing duties as needed, and keeping the Houston Pom Club on target in eveiy area. How we loved that security and advantage of having Tony in charge. Now I must once again re-assume Tonys presidency temporarily...and those are tough shoes to fillAs we remember Tony and others that we have lost...let us all recognize the fragile condition of life. Let us also remember that we are all here temporarily. This is not intended to sound gloomy...just sensible. Let us all know that we leave marks that will ever be remembered. Such sadness hits hard, but time marches on... and, recognizing that, it keeps us going.Remembering Tony Tellez....Page 41. _r ' b , . i. _ -- 'ac. ifM a a a or-rr, rnd J StotGo a Jh'tp.'A- -vvi pideg. onvA nspt-'index hinVhaPrNfw j Whtf.'g Coo_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ j Destination- N Search Peopte j Software_ .. nvAmerican Pomeranian Club, Inc...
