We just had another fabulous National Specialty in Louisville. It just keeps getting bigger and better.The fun officially kicked off Sunday afternoon with a budget meeting, followed that evening by the beginning of the Board meeting, which continued the next morning. We managed to sandwich in three very well-attended seminars before the obedience trial began promptly at 5 p.m. with a fine entry of 19. As always, there were some frustrating misses, some lightning fast recalls, and some charming heeling. Congratulations to Wendy Donnelly on her High in Trial. While the trial was going on the grooming room filled quickly, and the Ways and Means Committee Donna Riehm and Carolyn Brandenburg set up an amazing array of auction items. Then the participants in the Costume Class gathered to be judged by Camilla Knight and Bob Fiddick. What a super bunch of clever costumes we saw. And all that fun raised money for a great cause, the newly formed Pomeranian Charitable Trust. See Marge Kranzfelders column.Tuesday found us bright and early in the ballroom to watch Nadine Hersil sort through all those fabulous puppies in Sweepstakes. So many beautiful babies And, of course, the Veterans in Sweeps were just awesome, bringing tears to your eyes. In between, we tried to visit all the great concessions set up around the edge of the ballroom. After the conclusion of sweeps, the Pomeranian Club of Central Virginia set up for a Fun Match. This is a year-old club, and they probably were just as glad the entry wasnt as huge as at last years match. I suspect Judge Erika Moureau had a grand time going over all those youngsters. After the match, a quorum convened for the Annual Meeting. At this meeting, we announced the inauguration of new club pins with attached bars to recognize continuous years of faithful membership. Also announced were the selection of new Life Members John and Christine Heartz, Olga and Darrell Baker, Eleanor Miller, and Jean Schroll. Please see minutes summary elsewhere in this issue and the full minutes in the Roster.The good newsbad news for this specialty is that we had a recordbreaking entry Judge Janice Earl was overloaded, and Judge Danny Moore graciously agreed to take up the slack. The judges were alternated in the same ring, and both worked efficiently our wonderful stewards Sally Baugniet and Charlene Waters did everything possible to keep things moving quickly, but the sheer numbers made us run long. Sadly, some exhibitors did not read their judging program carefully, did not realize that classes were not in the usual order, that there were not 2 rings, and a few missed their classes. At one point, the AKC rep came and asked Gregg Waters show chair when he was going to set up a second ring outside We never did figure out if he was kidding, but at that point, it wouldnt have done any good. Janice appeared unruffled and proceeded without appearing rushed to come up with her beautiful winners. What an exciting finish Alas, the Brussels Griffon Club had been waiting for us to finish to start their sweeps, and they rushed in while we took pictures, and took pictures, and took pictures. Then off to the banquet. Our tireless Hospitality Chairman Kelly Reimschiissel had managed to coerce the hotel into giving us a bigger room which easily accommodated the 180 people who enjoyed the delicious buffet and final auction. Was it a coincidence that the tins of mints on the tables were Parkers Mints The party favors were mugs with this years specialty logo on them. A plaque was displayed recognizing the 13 years of efforts by our recently retired Assistant Circulation Manager Brenda Hutton. The final auction included some truly fabulous and unique items, including the color cover of next18 - APC Pomeranian Review - MayJune 2004years winter specialty catalogue. Congratulations to all the successful bidders. Ill let Donna have the fun of announcing the incredible total of fund-raising efforts for the 3 days in her column.Yes, there were glitches due to the huge entry. I feel we were over scheduled. I never got to the hospitality room, and it was only open for a few hours. I personally dont think we need 3 seminars, a fun match and a costume class. Your Board immediately began looking at ways we can make next year better. Tentatively, this is what we are looking at for next years gala in Louisville. Since the academic competition is no longer at this hotel, we can get the ballroom all day Monday. So, we can set up Sunday night and start sweeps first thing Monday morning. Tuesday will see the judge you voted for we havent asked her yet judging dogs and juniors. Annual meeting will still be Tues. night. Wed. the same regular class judge will do bitches, non regular and Best of Breed. That should finish us up in time to get dressed up in our finery for the banquet. It is one of my personal pet peeves that people who get dressed nicely to show come to the banquet in jeans. We are negotiating with the Brussels Griffon Club to hold our obedience trial with them. This would save us some money and guarantee the Brussels exhibitors legs. The obedience people have been complaining for 3 years that they would prefer to be at the end of the 3 days rather than at the beginning. Well, we DID hear you and heres your chance. For most of the rest of us, Thursday can be a day of rest or sightseeing before hitting the all-breed shows at the Fairgrounds.By the way, Onofrio refused to let me set up reserved grooming for Pom exhibitors at the Fairgrounds as weve done in the past, but the hundred Pom exhibitors on Friday seemed to manage OK. Becky, Rachal, and I went over on Thursday morning to grab some grooming space, then wandered around checking out the concessions. We got some of those great ice cream cones and wandered into the arena in time to watch three pretty Poms run agility. What a thrill. I would really like to see an agility demonstration as part of our festivities at the hotel next year.What makes all this happen is the hard work of some wonderful, dedicated Pom lovers. These individuals work for our club NOT for the fame and glory. It is impossible to thank them enough. They have to do it for the satisfaction of jobs very well done and doing something for the breed and club they love so much. Show Chair Gregg Waters kept his cool under difficult circumstances. He quit as chair for 2005, then promptly volunteered to continue to do a lot of the job such as hotel arrangements and building and grounds. Our Show Secretary Cindy Boulware also was Show Secretary for the Brussels Griffon club and worked round the clock for weeks before the big event. I fully expected her to show up pencil thin with big bald patches on her head from tearing her hair out She didnt she looked great as always. Kelly attended to myriad details of hospitality, including hand-delivering thank you notes to anyone who contributed or helped in any way. Then she switched hats to provide and hand out all the title certificates and awards. Jane Lehtinen and Juanita Fiddick were trophy co-chair this year, and terrific trophies they were. I mentioned our seemingly tireless conformation stewards, Sally and Charlene. One of our junior handler entries pitched in to steward obedience. Marge Kranzfelder ran the costume contest and sold catalogues. Cheri McDonald, Becky Sabourin and Brenda Segelken manned the Review table and presented new subscribers and anyone renewing subscriptions nice tote bags with the national logo. Very successful bribe Bob and Juanita Fiddick and the PCGD donated our drop dead gorgeous new black and gold table tops with the APC Logo, handmade lovingly by Juanita. Members of PCCV sat in a hotel room putting together the new club membership pins. Various roommates fed and exxed dogs and put up with our late hours and crankiness. Lots and lots of people pitched in and fetched and toted and ran errands and made it all happen in spectacular fashion. Thank you, thank you, thank youMaybe you would like to help out but havent been asked. Maybe we just dont know about your skills and abilities. Let us know. Volunteer Specifically, we need someone with an interest in history to take over our archives. Contact Cindy Boulware. We need someone to chair the Audit Committee. Help Contact any Board member. Profound thanks to Terry Rothell who did such a meticulous job on the last audit.I hope you have already begun making plans to attend our Summer National in Indianopolis, September 23,2004. See you there. MayJune 2004 - APC Pomeranian Review - 19Annette DavisOur question for this issue is What is hypoglycemiaHypoglycemia or low blood sugar is a possible problem with all toy breed puppies. Veterinarians who have not had a lot of experience with toy puppies may misdiagnose the condition as viral hepatitis or encephalitis. As a toy breeder or pet owner, it is important to recognize the symptoms of hypoglycemia and know how to treat it. Hypoglycemia is easily treatable in the early stages but fatal if allowed to progress. Many puppies are lost needlessly to hypoglycemia because of ignorance on the part of their owner or veterinarian.The first sign of hypoglycemia is the puppy slowing down and then acting listless. The puppy will then begin to tremble or shiver. This is a reaction caused as the brain is starved for glucose. The trembling is followed by a blank stare and the puppy lying on his side. He may also experience convulsions. After a time, the puppy will become comatose. His body will be limp, lifeless, and the tongue and gums will be a grayishblue color. The body temperature will be subnormal. The puppy may even appear to be dead.If caught in the early stages, treatment is simple. Rub Nutri-Cal Karo syrup will do if you have no Nutri-Cal on the puppys gums, under the tongue, and on the roof of the mouth caution do not use honey. Get a heating pad or heating blanket, and slowly warm the puppy to proper body temperature. If the puppy responds, all is well. Feed a quality canned food right away you may want to mix it with egg yolk, and dropper feed some Pedialyte or Gatorade. Monitor the puppy to be sure that the condition does not recur. Be sure to eliminate the stress that caused the episode if at all possible.If caught in the more advanced stages, treatment is more complicated. Always assume that the puppy is alive. Rub Nutri-Cal or Karo in the mouth, and carefully insert a small amount in the rectum. Slowly warm the puppy to normal body temperature 101-102 degrees F and keep him warm continuously with light heat. If the puppy still does not respond, carefully eye dropper Pedialyte, Gatorade, dextrose solution or Karo water into the mouth, a little at a time. Call your veterinarian and inform him that you have a hypoglycemic puppy. He will prepare a warmed dextrose solution to inject subcutaneous and may put your puppy on an FV drip. Request a fecal exam. Your puppy may have intestinal parasites such as worms, coccidia, or giardia that need to be eliminated immediately. A bacterial infection may also be present and antibiotic treatment necessary. If your puppy has been given glucose injections, it is probably a good idea to treat him with antibiotics so that infection does not occur. Your vet will likely recommend a prescription canned dog food such as AD to give as your puppy recovers. You can finger feed the AD as is from the can and add Pedialyte or Gatorade to the drinking water. You must also keep the puppy warm at all times. Of course, use prudence, and do not overheat or dehydration will occur. In severe cases you may need to force feed AD for a time and give Pedialyte with a dropper. Give B vitamins to stimulate appetite. As your puppy improves, he will begin to eat on his own and then you can gradually phase back in his regular food.It is important to understand that, just because a puppy has an episode of hypoglycemia, it does not mean that the puppy is truly hypoglycemic. True hypoglycemia is a chronic condition caused by overproduction of insulin by the pancreas. Even though the pancreas may normally function properly, toy puppies can still have an isolated hypoglycemic incident in reaction to stress. Hypoglycemic incidents are almost always preceded by a stress of some kind. Some examples of common stresses include weaning, teething, vaccinations, a change in environment, shipping, overhandling, cold temperatures, intestinalparasites, infections, anorexia, etc. Many puppies simply play too hard and stress their system or forget to eat. I have heard of young males experiencing hypoglycemia when a female in heat is around. They become so worked up over the female that they do not eat, and their blood sugar drops.Tiny dogs often do not have the fat reserves to supply adequate glucose in times of stress or when they do not eat regularly. Hypoglycemia most often occurs when the puppy has not eaten for several hours. This is not always the case, however. A puppy can have eaten recently and still show signs of hypoglycemia if his system is stressed and the food has not been digested and assimilated. It is important to free feed toy puppies a highquality food. Toy puppies simply have too high of an energy level to be restricted to scheduled feedings. Most do fine if switched to scheduled feedings when they reach adulthood, but they must have access to food and water at all times when they are puppies. If you like to give your puppy canned dog food, you can schedule the feeding of the canned but allow access to kibble at all times.A summary of important reminders is as follows1 Always keep Nutri-Cal or Karo com syrup and Pedialyte or Gatorade the clear kind without artificial color is preferred on hand. This is the quickest way to revive a hypoglycemic puppy.2 If you ever see your puppy becoming listless or lying on his side and acting unresponsive, IMMEDIATELY mb Nutri-Cal or Karo on his gums, under his tongue, and on the roof of the mouth. Slowly warm him to normal body temperature with a heating pad. Feed him and dropper Pedialyte or Gatorade into his mouth as soon as he responds. Call your veterinarian if the puppy does not quickly respond.3 Keep your puppy from chilling, and free of parasites, and minimize stress.4 See that your puppy eats often and maintains a proper body weight.5 Do not overhandle your puppy. Be sure to allow him rest time and alone time. Like all babies, puppies need to have a regular schedule of rest, meals, play and potty.Our question for the next issue is What is the best way to potty train my PomJulyAugust 2004KENNELRoxanne Collins .Kissami Poms y iS ^Sue Lncatorto ^Cases PomsPlease contact Jessie Klein, The Pomeranian Reviews Advertising Manager and Kennel Visit Co-ordinator with comments or nominations for upcoming APC Kennel Visits.

Little did I know that short conversation would change my life.I have been in dogs for about 25 years. I started in Shelties and finished a few in the U.S. and in Canada. I was limited to the number of shows I could go to as Chris was growing up and was busy with sports and music. He kept my hus- 'Becky Sa6oUrin CLYlcC band, Jack, and me pretty busy. We loved evJAmCanCFl Jan-Sfiars DucCCxi Doriadt erV m'nute ' One summer Chris startedgoing to the shows with me, and it is there thathe decided he wanted a Pom. His reason Well, they stayed small. Shannon Johnson had a litter at that time, and, after a few visits, Doo-Shays Jazzin Jordache became a member of our family. This little dog won a unique place in my heart. Seven years later, our family lost him to an anesthetic reaction. Jordie, as he was called, took a special part of me with him. It was then that I knew that I couldnt live without a Pom. So, Priscilla and Bobby joined our family.It was not long when I decided to switch solely to Poms. After some research, I contacted Jeanne Blank of Absolute Poms. I waited patiently for an available puppy. I got two bitches, Misty and Maddie, who became the backbone of our Pom family. Misty became Ch. Absolutes Magic Mist ROM. She is the dam of Ch. Wyndlor Cast A Spell Patty, Ch. Wyndlor Magical Mist Summer,Ch. Wyndlor Absolute Spellbinder Luke who is now owned by Daphne Bowyer and Ch. Wyndlor Amazing Grace Gus. Maddie Absolutes Rev It Up is the dam of Ch.Wyndlor Toy Story and Wyndlor-N-DJs Oliver Twist ROM, both owned by Donna Machniak.The next Pom to join our family was Forever Asvapects of Love, a black and tan who was born before his time. He is the sire of three champions. Alex had all of his minor points and seven major reserves when he was retired.With my breeding program progressing nicely, I knew that I needed an outcross. Jeanne and I decided to combine forces and search for that dog who would complement our programs. It took us over a year, but our persistence paid off at the national specialty in Dallas where we found Jan-Shars Dudly Doright. Dudly came home with us a few weeks later. He finished his title quickly while still in the puppy classes and picked up a few group placements on the way. It was then that we thought that perhaps he might have a future as a special. While we were waiting for him to coat up, I took him to Canada where he finished his title in one weekend going winners male at both the Pomeranian Club of Canada and the Pomeranian Club of Ontario.I didnt know where Dudlys specials career would take him, but he exceeded my expectations. He earned six Bests In Show, one Best In Specialty Show, many Awards Of Merit, multiple group ones and many group placements. The most memorable weekend was at the National in Kentucky and the weekend Kentucky cluster. No one was more excited than I when Sue Talsma showed him to an Award Of Merit under Mr. Melvin Beech at the National. At the all breed shows he won the breed each of the four days. On the first day he won a Group II. The next three days he won the groups and on the fourth day at the Louisville Kennel Club show, he won his second Best In Show beating many top specials including Mick, the beautiful Kerry Blue Terrier. I will always remember that as a very special weekend.Dudly retired as Multi BISABISS AmCan. Ch. Jan-Shars Dudly Doright HOF, GC. He attends a show once in a while just for fun.

Dooey has joined the stud force here due to the generosity of Linda Mulso. We are looking forward to the opportunity to use this boy to continue the family tradition.Our dogs are all in the house. We have a tri-level, and they have the middle level all to themselves. They are kept in pens made of PVC pipe which is easy to clean and virtually impossible for the dogs to injure themselves. We have a door that goes out directly to the fenced area which consists of a half an acre with three individual areas.We free feed the adults an excellent, quality dry allnatural food. The babies are fed the dry food softened and mixed with canned food and cottage cheese. I dont have a set time that I wean puppies. Some moms are ready earlier than others, so I play that by ear. I only supplement if an individual dog has a specific need.The moms go into my office when the whelping date is near. There I can keep a close eye on their appetite and general health. I am fortunate to work for a veterinarian where I am able to take the moms in daily when they are nearing their due date. After the puppies are born, they stay next to my bed so I can hear everything that is going on. At two weeks of age, they move back into my office where they stay until they are weaned. They then move into the kitchen where they get accustomed to everyday life.I have always had a great interest in the breeding aspect of the sport of dogs. I have used line breeding, inbreeding and out crossing with success. The key is to find what dogs produce the qualities you need and then use them well. Pedigrees can be a great roadmap to a breeder however, the pedigree is only as good as your knowledge of the dogs on that piece of paper. Research the dogs that you want to line breed on. Check out hisher progeny. Do they look like the dog you have in your minds eye Where is your roadmap taking you three generations down the road I always try to look at breedings with the next couple of generations in mind. What am I breeding for, and where am I going with that when I hopefully get itThe sport of dogs is more fun if you have great friends to share it with. Thank you, Jeanne Blank,for sharing your best. Thanks to Nina Fetter for also sharing and helping to get the puppies out and finished. To Sue Talsma who showed Dudly throughout most of his specials career. To Alane Levinsohn, who has proved that friends can be competitive and still remain best friends. To Linda Mulso who took Dooey and made him a star as well as a producer. To Donna Machniak who didnt let me give up on Gus. To Sarah OBrien who has a great future in the world of Poms. Last but not least to my husband, Jack, who stays home while I am at shows and takes great care of the young aspiring show dogs and my retired family companions.And for those of you who wonder what happened to my son Chris He is approaching 30, is happily married and teaches first grade for the Midland Public Schools.

Together with my daughter, Jennifer, and her boyfriend, Todd Spinner, we are Jenn De Pomeranians. I am a member of the American Pomeranian Club as well as our local Saratoga All Breed Kennel Club. Jenn and Todd are also members of Saratoga Kennel club.We are extremely honored to be asked to do this kennel visit. There are so many people to thank that there wouldnt be room left if I listed them all. We have made some really great friends. When we are at the shows, we have so much fun. I would like to someday write a book called On the Way to Best InShow. It would be about all the fun and not so fun things that happen long before you are actually in the ring. From cars that break down on the way to 1130 p.m. donut runs.I have been married for 24 years to a great guy named Chris. Besides Jennifer, we also have three other daughters, Crystal 22, our oldest who is married and has a son, Dylan two, our first grandchild, Tiffany, who is 13 and Kendra, who is nine. My mother, who is 86, also lives with us.Tiffany is just starting to show and has a longcoated Chihuahua named Gizmo. Kendra is a special needs child due to birth trauma. We both almost didnt make it at the time of her birth, but through Gods grace we are both here. We live on a 55- acre farm in Upstate New York, just north of Albany in a town called Clifton Park.We have not been in Poms very long, just under five years. So, in every sense of the word, we are novices. Our beginning actually started when I was pregnant with Jennifer over 19 years ago. I have always loved Poms, and just before I learned I was pregnant with Jenn, I finally found the Pom of my dreams. His name was Foxy, Bates Tiny Prince of Perfection. I showed him at a fun match, and we actually took Best Puppy in Match. My father passed away soon after Jennifer was bom and my mother wasnt in the best health so we sold our farm and moved to where we now live. When we sold our farm I also sold Foxy back to his breeder and put my love for Poms on hold for a few years.Like many of you, I also showed horses for a while. I had an Arabian gelding named Fred Oak Meadow Charade that I showed through the New York State Saddle Horse Association. He and I won All Around Pleasure Champion. At the same time I occasionally showed a palomino Saddlebred. Before my father passed away, we also had a little black pony that used to pull a cart in the summer and a sleigh in the winter. It was lots of fun.I even tried my hand at breeding the horses a little. We had one foal that was bom three and a half weeks premature.What a time we had saving her. I took a week off from work, and I had to milk the mother out every two hours and feed her through a stomach tube for the first three days. After that, my husband, who is a welder, made leg braces for her with the help of my vet, and then I would have to lift her up every two hours so she could nurse. At the beginning, we almost lost the mare too because she had colic so bad. The baby had to have a plasma transfusion and also different types of shotsJennDe Kennel Visit Continued on Page 34ri\ ,___ m s___ JennDeKennel Visit Continued fromevery six hours. We named her Whinny because every time she heard myfootsteps in the bam she would whinny. Only with Gods help did she makeit. My girlfriend still has her and her mom.Finally, about five years ago, I knew it was time to try and find another Pom. I saw an ad in a local want ad digest so I called. He was a chocolate Pom. I went to look at him and fell instantly in love. So I brought him home. Soon after I got him, I thought about possibly breeding him. I was given a name of a breeder that might have a chocolatewhite party, Sandy Shaneyfelt of Southpaw Poms. I contacted her and she sent us Syble, the sweetest little girl you could ever ask for. So we bred Syble and Pooh. They became the proud parents of three little babies, two chocolates and a sable.During that time I also put up a Web site and had the pups pictures on there. We were contacted by many people regarding these pups, but one person named Jan Young also inquired about them. I know that they were pet quality and I believe I told her that at the time but the more we talked the more I learned. Since we were so new with the Poms, I had no idea that Jan had many champions. But after a while she told me about a year old boy she had named Star Haven Tradition of Glory aka Teddy. I will never forget when we went to the airport to pick him up. We couldnt believe that someone would send us such a beautiful PomI had contacted Sandy, and she also had a year old boy, Southpaws Causen-A Comotion aka Mike. So within a week of each otherd we had two show prospects, Mike and Teddy. We decided that we would go to a show close by in Ballston Spa, NY. We had entered Mike but didnt know that Teddy would be here in time so he wasnt entered. We had no idea how to show groom Pomeranians. We had been told that you dont groom the competition so we were on our own. With me ringside, Jenn took Mike in the ring and just followed what everyone else did. Needless to say they didnt win, but we were bitten by the show bug. After that we started going to handling class. Then in October there was a show that also was nearby so we entered both Mike and Teddy. As I mentioned before we didnt have any one who would help us with grooming, so we took Mike and Teddy to the pet groomer. But as luck would have it, the judge that day gave Mike Reserve Winners Dog to a major. We didnt even know that we could have a picture taken. A lady named Garrett ODell told us. We will always treasure that picture but will show it to no one. During these shows, it was a two-day show, a very nice lady named Donna Majewski, approached us and asked us if we would like some help with grooming. Of course we said yes, and thanked her so much She showed us how to round their ears and a few other small grooming tips. Our next show was a couple of months later. It was a three-day show, Friday through Sunday. On Friday, the judge was very nice but when we looked at the other dogs in the ring, our pet groomed guys with rounded ears just didnt look like the others. So when we got home from the show that day, we found a picture of a show Pom and a pair of scissors and Jenn tried to make Mike and Teddy look as close as possible to the beautiful Pom in the picture. It seemed like it took forever. Saturday came and off to the show we went. Only this time, both Mike and Teddy looked much more like the other dogs in the ring. Were we ever surprised and thrilled when on Saturday Jenn and Mike took WDBOW for his first point. The following day, Teddy and I took WD for his first point.We continued to show, and Jenn and Mike added points here and there. We also started going to shows farther away, mostly in Springfield, MA. That very nice lady named Donna was there at most of them and we became good '" 'A I-2First row Grandson Dylan, Tiffany Second row Mother Laura, Kendra iThird row Crystal, John, Debby, Chris, Jenn, Todd23jBates Tiny Prince of Perfection F Mandy and WhinnyfACh. Star Haven Traditionfriends and to this day still are. But also during this time, she offered to take Teddy and see if she could put points on him. Well, she sure did. She put his first major on him at the Bay Colony Pom Club specialty show and continued until she finished him in late November of that year. We can never thank Donna or his breeder, Jan Young, enough for our first champion. Teddy now enjoys the life of a lap dog.During that summer, Jenn met a nice boy named Todd. During the shows that are held eveiy August in Ballston Spa, NY, Todd came to visit her. On Saturday night of these shows, there is a fun match that is held every year. During this years fun match, Todd was there. We handed him a dog and said, Have fun. Jenn ended up getting Best Puppy in Match with a little bitch puppy that year.In the fall of that year, Jan Young sent Jenn a little girl for her to show, Star Havens Rock-N Etta James. Jenn finished Etta from the puppy classes with three majors by the beginning of April. Sandy also sent us a little boy named Atom. By the time Atom was ready to be shown, Mike had been pointed out. So Atoms first show with Todd at the end of the leash was the Bay Colony Pom club specialty. Atom did real well, but it was Mikes turn to shine that day. He took WD for a four point major. He also took BOW, and Jenn was specialing Etta, and she took BOS at the specialty. That win left Mike with only that remaining major to get to become a champion. Jenn showed him the next day where there was a major, but it wasnt his turn to finish just yet.The next sets of shows were the following month in Springfield, MA. Mike had been entered all week, but there was only a major on the Friday of those shows. Im sure the rafters in that building had to be inspected when Mike took WD for his final major He again took BOW and Jenn had her first champion, CH. Southpaws Causen-A Comotion. He was completely handled by his owner and a junior at that.Mikes story doesnt end as a lap dog. It ends on a much sadder note. Mike taught us firsthand about one aspect of why Poms are called the heartbreak breed. Lets fast-forward a couple years just for now to finish Mikes story. When I got home from work one day in December 2002,1 noticed Mike was acting strange. Nothing I could put my hands on just different. But by the next night Jenn was hand feeding him, so off to the vets she went with Mike. The vet did extensive blood work, x-rays, etc. on him. They thought the first night he might have cancer of the kidneys. She said they would give him chemo and call Jenn in the morning with results of the blood work. The vet called her in the morning and said she needed to talk to her. When Jenn got to the vets, she brought her in the back where Mike was, and Jenn just knew that she was going to tell her he wasnt going to make it, but when Mike saw her, he stood up and wagged his tail. The vet didnt have the heart to put him to sleep at that point. His blood work showed that he didnt have cancer, he had Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia. He lived for approximately 6 months. His ashes now rest in a silver music box on Jenns bookshelf.Right after Mike became Champion Mike. It became Atom and Todds turn. Atom took his first point the first weekend in August, and he was finished by early November out of the 12-18 month puppy class with two four point majors and also a Group 1 win. What a thrill that was. Todd and Atom were quite the team Atom was sent back to Sandy a few months after he finished.Jenn and Todd have put several points on several different dogs. Todd showed a sweet little girl for Linda DeCicco, named Aphrodites American Dream akan-. ----ROV WKLCH.Southpaws Causen-A ComotiondiStar Havens Rock-N Etta JamesI A i'' VAlLtY' T" \KCNNCL x Wr ' cLunAphrodities American Dream-Aphrodities Wings of Dreams JennDe Kennel VisiUZontinued on Page 36 1JennDe Kennel Visit Continued from Page 35Shawnee. She just needs that final major to finish. I have usually been ringside mom, but Ive also put points on a couple of dogs and will be in the ring this year for sure.Jenn has become very active in our local kennel club. She has taught handling class that our club hosts. She has also been the Toy Group judge with Todd as her ring steward for the fun match that our club hosts during the August shows. She has branched out and has shown other breeds that include Boxers, Shiba Inus and Pugs. She has a Shiba Inu that only needs that final major to finish and has finished a pug for a friend of hers. Both Jenn and Todd have been called upon many times to handle different breeds of dogs while they were at shows. Jenn would like to someday become a judge and is already working on becoming a professional handler.fLCh. Puglands Beau Tai Jenn judging a fun match.We have met many wonderful people during these years, Donna Majewski and her flying scissors as well as Joan Rogenski. We have spent many, many hours just having a great time at the shows. We also met Linda DeCicco through our friends Donna and Joan. We purchased a beautiful black and tan girl from her Aphrodites Wings of Dreams aka Windy that only lacks her final major to finish and will be a true asset to our breeding program.Speaking of breeding, we have done very little up to this point, a couple litters here and there. We even tried a parti litter once. But unfortunately, they all were of pet quality. Any puppies that we have bred up to now have wonderful permanent pet homes and have been spayed or neutered. The more we learned about the Pomeranian the more faults we began to see in the dogs we had. Of course, we know that Pooh, at 12 pounds, was not within the standard at all, and the pups that were produced also hit the 9-121b range, so he was no longer bred but is now Tiffanys companion. Although Syble was within the standard as far as her weight, her second litter was by c-section, and we had her spayed at the time. She now keeps my mother company while we are all at work or school. Like many of you, we knew we had to rethink our breeding program. I knew enough that I didnt breed what I had other than what I mentioned above because all the dogs we had seem to all have major faults, such as size, luxating patellas, etc. So, we placed all the kids that we had hoped to be in our breeding program in wonderful pet homes.Linda DeCicco has really helped us with trying to restart or actually start our breeding program. She bred both Teddy and Mike before he got sick, but unfortunately, neither produced well. Although we will try Teddy again, as he is well within the standard and a beautiful boy, it apparently just wasnt the right time.We also purchased a cute little boy from Linda named Tommy. Unfortunately, he didnt turn out but he has taken on a much greater role in our family. As I mentioned before, my youngest daughter, Kendra, is a special needs child. She has a sensory problem. She cannot be woken up in a hurry as her skin seems to need to be woken up its really hard to explain but thats the way it is. Anyway, when I wake her up in the morning, I have to start by rubbing her back and arms so she wakes up slowly. Every morning, Tommy will follow me into her room and jump on her bed, and he has actually taken over for me by rubbing his whole body against her back many times back and forth. And when shes awake, he licks her face and sits there with her until shes fully awake and its time for her to get dressed for school.Linda had suggested that we sell him as a pet, but he had decided before I could do that that he would be Kendras personal therapy dog. We have even brought him to the hospital when my mother was there as Tommy takes his therapy work very seriously. He seems to think that is what he is meant to be, and I have to say, I agree with him. No one taught him, he just does it.We have a beautiful black boy from Margaret Jennings of Weepawz Kennels in Canada. Weepawz Man in Black at Jenn De aka Manny. He has already taken best of breed twice and will be back in the ring as soon as he coats back up from hisSTrr VI PLACE mWC F E fc' BESTNATIONAL SPECIALTYMARCH 2004 JLSHAWANGUNK KENNEL CLUBvWeepawz Man in Black at JennDe Tradys In A New York Minute Janesas Tag You Are It aka Tagsyear shed. We cant thank Margaret enough for this beautiful boy and also her friendship and her continued support and help. We also have a young boy from her, Weepawz Orange Julius at Jenn De aka Julius who will be making his ring debut this summer.We also contacted Nancy Coddington of Trudys Pomeranians, whom Linda got her beautiful Blue from, and she sent us Trudys In A New York Minute aka Snickers. Snickers is just starting his show career. Donna Majewski showed him at a two day show in Wrentham, MA in November where he took WDBOW both days and BOB over a special one of the days for his first points. At those same shows he also took back-to-back Best Puppy and Toy Puppy group 1.Vikki Oelerich showed Snickers at this years nationals where he made the cut in the 9-12 month sweeps and took 1st in open ROCS class. What a thrill for us She also showed him at the shows following the nationals and placed 3rd on Saturday and 2nd of Sunday. Thank you so much Vikki Im sure it wont be long before hes Ch.

And thank you for the beautiful basket full of goodiesThe match had an excellent entry of 74 dogs, with 66 dogs actually showing.Quality in the puppy classes was very strong in both sexes, making decisions difficult, since I had only 4 ribbons.My Best in Match winner was a lovely young male, who moved well, showed well and had great type. If I were still showing dogs, I would have begged for him to go home with me. But, there were several dogs in hot contention with him. On the down side, there were several undershot bites and some close rears.Erika K. Moureau Tomball, TX.aHiBEST INMATCHJMARCH1- RxBEST OPPOSITE ADULTbest w mADULT ft.

The problem of the obvious slipping patella in the ring seems to have diminished quite a bit but has not totally disappeared. What worries me more during the last 2-3 sweepstakes assignments that I have judged is the bite problems. Not specifically overshot or undershot but not the correct scissors bite. If you look at the transition in head types we have had over the last several generations going from extreme baby face such as the Chihuahua head which has a reputation for notorious bites to the lovely middle of the line heads that are now apparent, it is no wonder that the bites and lack of under jaw have suffered.Now on to the beautiful puppies. As always, the puppies were breathtaking. There were so many puppies that I would love to have considered higher, but, with the quality in these classes, it just wasnt possible. And the beautiful rainbow of color black, black and tan, partis, brindles, chocolates, creams, reds and, of course, orange.My 6-9 dog winner and eventual grand sweepstakes dog Jakins Splashin In The Rain, who is a beautifully marked black and tan, free- moving, well-balanced dog with great ring presence. 9-12 dog was Magic Touch of Lenette with an exquisite head and type. 12-18 dog Firebrooks Tabasco Fiasco was the winners dog in the classes and completely finished and polished in coat and structure. 6-9 months bitch Showins Prima Donna is a nice moving young lady with reach and drive for a lovely side picture. 9-12 bitch Chriscendo Career Girl, the winners bitch in the regular class, has an elegance and style that belies her young age. 12-18 bitch InchAllahas Heavens to Betsie is the complete package of balance and movement.My most difficult decisions came in the Veterans Class. Those old-timers really gave their all and most were so excited to get back in the ring again that it literally brought tears to my eyes. Ch. Heartlands in the Nick ATime 9 yr and older, the beautiful chocolate dog that I placed best in match at his 1 st show at 3 months of age and now had the opportunity to judge again at his last show made my skin tingle. After I had literally asked the audience if anyone else would like to do this I had the pleasure of giving the best veteran to Ch. Fox Worths Five Star Tradition 6-9 yr the class BOS winner. This lady gave everything to this win her condition, attitude, and movement were flawless. BOS went to Ch. Nickie and honorable mention to Ch. Jolvins Legacy of Ginger 6-9yr whose movement was certainly not that of an old-man.May I take this opportunity to thank the committee members for their kindness and generosity Sally Baugniet was a helpful and efficient steward. Remember, club members, that this was your national specialty you are the reason that this event was history making. I was president of this club back in 1980. I suggested that we move the specialty, from New York to a more central location and got some very strange and disturbing looks along with a definite no. Your support and attendance at this show is the proof that my idea and the committee decisions made since then were not in vain.

Can you believe our biggest Specialty of all time came and went so quickly, and didnt we have a fantastic timeI attended Specialty for nine or ten years sitting ringside watching the classes, making notes and marking my catalog, watching my Poms compete, hanging out in Hospitality, attending seminars, buying at the auction and savoring every moment. And you know I HAD NO CLUE and it never crossed my mind that there were those hardworking, dedicated individuals who made those Specialties happen. They had invested LOTS of time before and during the show. Catalog ads were sold, trophies were painstakingly thought about and created with the hope that trophy donations would be there, catalog sale tables were manned, T-shirts were designed and sold, ways and means auction items were asked for with the hope buyers would stay after the banquet meal and help support the cause by bidding on donations, hospitality was planned, and folks were there to greet you with food and drink, seminars were planned months in advance, the show rings were set up and plastic put down, tables were set up for vending, a huge banquet was planned, certificates were given out for top performers by an individual who had invested many hours tracking the stats, raffles were planned and tickets sold. I could just keep the list going.Now, I can tell you based on personal experience, PAYBACK IS TOUGH. I have had the responsibility of Ways and Means the past three years. Im still not sure how I got the job. I first heard about it when it was announced at the general membership meeting Im thinking a close friend who will remain anonymous must have raised her hand on my behalf. Ways and Means is a time-consuming job. Is it fun, absolutely, is it important to the club, you bet, but most importantly I have been afforded the opportunity to work side by side with those individuals that make Specialty happen. They are a dedicated, hard working, fun loving, and professional bunch. If you have not noticed them, as I did not for so many years, you need to take the time to get to know them, volunteer for a committee, meet your APC Board, Officers, Committee Chairs, and find out how their efforts make things happen.And that is only half of the joy my job brings as I also have the pleasure of working with some of the MOST TALENTED, GENEROUS, FUN LOVING folks ever. You made it happen for Ways and Means again this year with a RECORD BREAKING volume of donations and sales. With the help of super- woman Carolyn Brandenburg we tagged well over 160 items. Beautiful items, handcrafted items, collectible items, items that were purchased just so they could be donated to APC. I had a new comer to our breed that generously donated multiple collectible Pomeranian prints that raised hundreds for APC. It is gratifying for me each year to see those same individuals bring in those very special items again and again, and to experience first hand the wonderful folks that purchase items during the Silent Auction and that stay after the banquet buying items in support of our Club. I think each year that we just cant top the last year, and yet our members and friends just keep showing that level of commitment, and we just keep growing our ability to support our National Club. THANK YOU. And thank you to all who made Carolyn and my job so much fun. We loved meeting you, we loved the conversation, and we thank you so much for supporting the APC.PS Be sure to read this report in the next issue for a list of our auction donors and auction results.zf.-v Ji60- APC Pomeranian Review - MayJune 2004Jleto ChampionsChampions of Record Are Confirmed by AKCKelly ReimschiisselJanuaryAnimations Patti Mayonnaise B by CH Great Elms Wee Chipper x Animations Belle.

In Kentucky, we updated those present of its formation progress and moved into action for initial fundraising. The purpose of the PCT is to be able to handle funds going to the direct welfare of Pomeranians, be it for education, health, or welfare. It allows Pomeranian people to safeguard the funds for use to directly affect Pomeranians. It doesnt draw any differentiation between the show and pet world. Once established, the charitable trust will offer benefactors direct tax deductions for their donations.The very first activity offered at the National Specialty in Louisville was a very well- attended breeders education seminar entitled Breeding Dynamics presented by Debra Lynch. The first hour included information on basic genetics and highlighted steps to achieving outstanding success. The seminar concluded with a panel of respected Pom breeders and judges evaluating young Pom bitches. As you can imagine, two hours flew by. Our intent is to continue to present seminars of this caliber in the future. And we are looking into the possibility for making similar materials available via CD for those unable to attend in person. Any further developments along this line will be announced in The Pomeranian Review and the APC web site. Thanks to the generous donation of the speakers fee, after expenses, the seminar produced 1365.00 for the PCT.Right after we watched the very impressive obedience competition, The Race Is On Costume Contest commenced. The audience was flabbergasted with the amount of creativity on display Judges Bob Fiddick and Camilla Knight needed those bribes to help in their very tough decisions. The real Kentucky Derby held in April will be challenged to match the glamour of the Belles and Beaus in their finery, the enthusiasm of those in the infield, or the heart of those in competition. Considering one picture is worth a thousand words, I wont even begin to recount the details of the costumes. All the Poms took up the challenge with their good spirits. But the image that will be etched in my mind forever is the heart displayed by the three-legged, but certainly not handicapped, sulky winner I have been bribed not to produce a CD of the human competitors singing, galloping, or cheerleading for more audience contributions. This fun activity added 430.00 to the PCT.There was another fund-raising project of delicious gourmet chocolate Poms that we attempted for the first time this year. Pom enthusiasts must be on a health conscious effort this spring, for this project barely broke even with expenses. We still must thank Deborah Barrett for enabling this project. It is heartening that people are self-motivated to assist Pomeranians.The beautiful oil painting raffled for PCT would be worthy of a featured location in any of our homes. It also came to us via a gifted artist Pom lover that wanted to give back to Pomeranians. The raffle raised 780.00 for PCT. For private viewing, contact the lucky winner, Carolyn Brandenburg.The perfect nightcap to a wonderful banquet arrived from our loyal Canadian supporters in the fonn of a 500.00 check from The Portage Legacy Project. A nice touch were the Maple Leaf flags flying high around that table to the north.r,r9Da-daaa. Bottom line. Give yourself a BIG hand. The PCT total raised at the National is 3,075.00of AllridgeEleanor Ken MillerMillamors impact on the breed is legendary Millamor contributes strong influence in Dreams pedigree by way of Oakridge, Chriscendo, and LLL. It shows in her beauty and performance. I know you will appreciate this picture of Dream untrimmed.I enjoyed visiting with you in Louisville and wish you continued success.Dream won her championship quickly with accomplishments that included Best of Breed over specials, multiple Toy Group placements from the Bred By Exhibitor class, and 3rd Place All-Breed Btch of the Year APC 2002.Congratulations to Becky Sabourin, Wyndlor Poms and Debbie Gonyeau, Jenn De Poms on your Kennel Visits.Valerie Allridge alaskapomsaol.com Anchorage, AlaskaCh.

Some people only put the call name in their ads, and you even have a very few who are dishonest and deliberately change the registered name for their ads. In my ads, I always put the registered name of the dog being advertised along with the sire and dam plus the breeders name if it is someone other than myself. Let us give credit where credit is due.K. G.

As a child, I had two red Chows that I particularly loved.After Ken and I were married we were living in an apartment that would not allow a dog. We bought our first house, and then we went looking for that small furry Pom.Our first Pom was a newspaper pup, and I have always said that, if she were alive today, she would still be growing. Our second Pom wasnt any better. I had learned more about the type and quality that I wanted. These two went as pets, and I started over.We met Leonne Ricketts, who had been a Pom breeder, a judge and also was the author of THE COMPLETE POMERANIAN. She guided us to a good breeder-Eleanor Miller and Ch. Millamors Golden KeyMe c72m si ---ACasual Visit withEleanor Miller Millamor Pomsby Marcia Coxwhere I purchased my first quality Pom. Leone showed me how to train, trim and groom a Pom and how to enter a dog show. She also taught me to always study pedigrees and to look for type, quality and soundness. I guess I would have to place the blame or credit on Mrs. Ricketts for starting me on this enjoyable lifetime love of Poms. My husband recently stated that we could be millionaires today if we hadnt gone into Poms Our money has always gone to the Poms, purchasing the best Poms that we could find, expenses of traveling all over the country, going to dog shows, show entries, vet bills, whatever dog food that I felt was best, and the list goes on.I recommend to anyone wanting to breed for quality, do your homework first. Study pedigrees seriously. Go see as many Poms on those pedigrees that you can find. We traveled constantly to dog shows and to the top breeders to have the background knowledge so we could move forward and hope to breed for the quality that we desired.Memory Lane with Eleanor Miller Continued on Page 78Memory Lane with Eleanor Miller Continued from Page 77vsmnoosierkennel club first imroup' .'ijtT . ACh. Millamors JitterbugPlltCh. Dixieland Rock of Millamor Ch. Millamors MarkettaAlways remember those outstanding breeders of the past worked very hard to produce the type and quality that is behind all of our outstanding Poms of today. Give them credit for all that they did. Believe me, they deserve lots of credit and praise.I graduated from Ohio State University and taught school for several years. I loved teaching, but also I needed the money to purchase the top quality Poms that I wanted. Yes, I really did love teaching. Guess Id have to say my heart has always directed me to do my best in whatever I am doing.From our experiences in seeing so many Poms of the past, it gave me the direction that I wanted to go with my love for Poms. I have always wanted a very pretty head, huge coat, as short a body as possible with a high tail set. I want a good front, good body and chest, and then a straight true rearOne needs to study lots of Poms to determine their own ideas of the type and qualities that they desire as they start on their own breeding program. It is very helpful to have a good mentor to help guide you, but you still need to remember you have to research the pedigrees, study the qualities that you really must have. I wish you the best. Study those pedigrees constantly, and try to see as many of those dogs in person if they are still alive.I feel so fortunate that I saw so many of the great Poms of the past during my beginning days of breeding and showing. I actually saw many outstanding Poms that are behind my Poms of today.We were invited to Isidore and Gladys Schoenbergs home in San Antonio, TX, the Aristic Poms. What a memorable experience. I feel so fortunate to have had this wonderful opportunity to see all of their beautiful Poms. Ch. Aristic Wee Pepper Pod was my ideal to strive for. We went to Dorothy Bonners home and saw all of her beautiful Poms. Dorothy was the breederowner of Ch. Bonners Stylepepper Preshus who was a son of Wee Pepper Pod. Dorothy also loved beautiful heads, lots of coat and a beautiful profile. Dorothy was a wealth of information and I had always hoped she would write a book on Poms so we all could benefit from her knowledge.uAV-_,v VV rCh. Millamors MarkettacCh. Millamors Special Edition Ch. Millamors Rock MusicWe became good friends of Margaret Tankesley of Dixieland Poms, Chattanooga, TN and visited her often. Margaret had Ch. Dixielands Style Stepper who was a son of Ch. Stylepepper Preshus. When Margaret had to go in for surgery, we would take most of her Poms to our house to keep for her until she had recovered. We did a lot of breedings together. I loved Margarets spirit and vitality. I often told her that she sure had more energy than I had and that she must be younger than me. She would carry a big armful of her beautiful Poms up and down her many steps as I came trailing slowly behind her with only one Pom. She had a large, beautiful Colonial home and she was accustomed to those stairs. I have never had many steps in any of my homes. We have done a lot of long distant moving through the years, which isnt easy with all the dogs and equipment.Another outstanding Pom breeder whom we visited many times was Bob Goodrich, Model Poms in Hampton, VA. I always loved talking with Bob. He always had so many beautiful Pom kids, including Ch. Models Son Of Fun, Ch. Models Gold Memento, Ch. Models Satina, and Ch. Models Magic Spell. The list of his Poms that I loved could go on and on. Bob was very critical of his dogs and kept only the best. He had old scrapbooks filled with photos and articles of Poms of the past. I always wanted to spend hours talking with Bob to get some information to help me in my breeding program. Those scrapbooks were so full of important information.Also in Virginia was Thelma Gunter of Thelcolynn Poms. I fell in love with her Ch. Thelcolynns Tiny Showstopper and was fortunate to buy three of his sons who are behind my Poms today.These Breeders were very successful because they kept and used their very best dogs in their breeding program.Today, I have all of these wonderful memories. I have always bred to get the type and qualities that I want. Even today, when I do breed a litter, it is with the idea that I will hopefully get that new outstanding Pom that I truly want.I have met so many wonderful people all through the years and have many friends whom I have enjoyed and loved during this time. Being an only child and then having an only child, a son, friends are very important to me.

This is really a great help, as it requires a lot of time and resources to try to be successful. Ken and I celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary in August of 2003. Life has been wonderful. I have definitely slowed down the past five years. I was diagnosed with cancer in 1999. Then a stupid accident while carrying bowls of dog food, I fractured my hip in 2000. After that I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis. I am still full of determination and love to continue with my Poms. I believe the Poms keep me feeling younger.I have never had the desire to set any records. All that I ever wanted was to breed and show what I loved. That is why I show my own dogs. I love it.Probably one of my Poms more familiar with the Pom breeders of today would be my Ch. Millamors Marketta. I finished her undefeated from the puppy class. She was a champion just past seven months of age. She went on to become the number one Pom bitch and still holds this record at this date.One of my first loves was a Pom I bred and showed was Ch. Millamors Music Man. I won five group firsts on him. He developed pneumonia and never could be shown again. I also showed and finished his litter brother, Ch. Millamors Jitterbug and won a group with him. Their mother, Millamors Red Mist ROMX, gave me nine champions, two boys and seven girls, which I showed.Ch. Millamors Moon Rock was a show dog and a producer. I won ten group firsts and many group placements on him. He produced numerous champions. Many of his champion children were also group winners.A son of Ch. Moon Rock was my Ch. Millamors Rock Montegram. I showed him to nine group firsts and many placements. Another son of Moon Rocks was my Ch. Millamors Rock Music. I won the Toy Group with him from the puppy class. Also, his litter brother, Ch. Millamors Rock Dust finished his championship. Another Moon Rock son was AmCan. Ch. Millamors Rock Medallion who I sold to a friend in Canada. He produced many champions for her along with many champion grandchildren. Ch. Dixieland Rock of Millamor, also sired by MoonCh. Jitterbug and Ch. Music ManV -VCh. Millamors Moon Rockk Millamors Red Mist ROMXCh. KeyJOTk i' V .J,__ - ,Ch. Millamors Makin MusicMillamor male puppyRock, can be found on a lot of pedigrees today. He was also a group winner. I showed and finished both him and his litter sister.One of my Poms that many of you have probably have heard about was Ch. Millamors Mark Tradition. He produced many champion offspring and grandchildren and is often seen in pedigrees today. The list could go on and on, but I have tried to give you a number of my favorite Poms of the past. Through forty-plus years I have had many favorites.Most everyone knows that I do not like to ship my Poms. I rarely ever put a Pom on a plane unless it is on the plane with me. Many years ago, I had a female ready to breed and wanted her bred to a male that I greatly admired. My husband and a friend were flying to that city on company business, so I made arrangements for my husband to take the girl with him. He went to the airport, checked her in, and then the two men went to the restaurant. When they came out of the restaurant, the plane had left. My Pom was on the plane, and my husband was still at the airport. I about collapsed I never tried that idea again.In reading the questionnaire to write this article, one of the questions is In your opinion, what is the greatest concern for the Pom of tomorrow Well, I do have my opinion. The APC Standard has been revised too many times unnecessarily. Now we have a standard that leaves too much for individual interpretation. The standard is supposed to be the blueprint for the breed. It is supposed to outline the ideal Pom for breeders to continue to work and strive for. It should not ever be changed to accommodate what people are breeding but rather the goal for people to breed toward. In my opinion, the Standard has been opened up to include something for everyone with little regard for the Pomeranian. Also, we need to concentrate on getting high tail sets to give us the beautiful profile that a Pom should have.Thank you Brenda and Marcia for inviting me to write this article on my memories for the Pom Review. Also, sincere thanks to every Pom breeder of the past and to all of my wonderful friends who have helped me with my breeding program through the years. I love you all Thanks.

It applies to Conformation and Agility, as well as ObedienceMost of us move through life without appreciating the simple beauty around us. We move along past fields of wild flowers without really seeing them beautiful in their simplicity, they are just part of the scenery we expect and often go unnoticed.Obedience trials are much the same. We arrive in time to show our dogs, visit with friends, and go on home without much notice of the event itself. We havent noticed the dedicated Club members who worked for weeks or months to set up the event, beginning with contracting Judges. Or those folks who provide hospitality so the Judges are well cared for and can give their focused attention to your performance. The Trial Secretary, who stays up all night arranging things so the event flows smoothly. The person who prepares and mails the Premium List, and the work that went into that Catalog. A Trophy Chairperson, who had some wonderful and unique ideas for what you would win.You havent noticed the folks who work and sweat to roll mats and set up tables, gates, and jumpsboth before and after the event. The people who take a vacation day from work so they can Steward and stand on their feet all day working for youthe exhibitorwithout pay and often without even lunch, or maybe with just a hot dog to wolf down and so many more who never get noticed or mentioned. And like an Olympic performance, when things go well you never notice all the work training, and heart that went into the event we take for granted. Without all those wonderful peoplethat great Unseen Forcethere would be no Obedience trials.So the next time you show your dog, stop and look at the rings, the tables, the trophies, the Judges who stand all day, the stewards who stand with themand try to appreciate that simple beauty. Think about the dedication and work it took to produce the event, and really see the beauty around you.Part of that beauty is pride in the eyes of the workers who made the event happen for you. Take just a moment to let them know how much their efforts mean, and dont forget to take your turn to grow the wild flowers.IN MEMORIAMStillcoves I Only Wanto B With You CD, NAP, NAJP, OA, OAJAnn Griffith writes from Oregon I am devastated to report the loss of my precious Hootie. He died early this morning February 20. He was 6 Vi years old. Its impossible to imagine life without him. Hootie and I fell head over heels in love the moment we laid eyes on each other. He was a dream come true.iHootiePerformance Continued on Page 84MayJune 2004 - APC Pomeranian Review - 83Performance Continued From Page 83Hootie was stunningly beautiful and drew fans to him like flies to honey. He wanted to do anything I wanted him to do, at full throttle. In the Agility arena, he was unmatched in his lightning speed, gorgeous jumping style, and the ability to be handled from very far away. He showed the Border Collies how Rally Obedience should be done. He loved Flyball. He loved playing soccer with the biggest ball he could find. The horse play balls were just right. When we snuggled, he wrapped his arms around my neck and hugged me just like a human baby. He slept on a pillow next to my head and watched TV in my lap.We had an appointment tomorrow with a tracking judge to attempt certification. I had dreamed that he might be the first VCD1 Pomhe had only the TD left to earn.They broke the mold when they made this special little dog. I am beside myself with grief. Please think of me. I know most of you have precious Poms of your own. It is so hard. It feels unbearable right now. I know Ill get through it somehow, just like we all do, but the pain is horrible.Ann, all our hearts go out to you as you work your way through recovery. I am always reminded of Kiplings famous line, Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware, of giving your heart to a dog to tear. Their lives are so short and especially when the death happens unexpectedly young, but we would not choose not to have had our special friends.EXERCISING YOUR DOGWhen I first started showing a dog in Obedience, of course, I had no idea what people were talking about when they told me where I could exercise my dog. I had a sort of picture of a Fitness Center with treadmills and four-legged exercise bikes. But I soon learned that exercise, in dog show terms, had nothing to do with fitness. So now, when I really want to talk about dog fitness, I have to put exercise in quotation marksOn the Active Pomeranian e-mail list join us by e-mailing ActivePomeranian-subscribeyahoogroups.com. there has been some discussion about how to keep a Pomeranian physically fit. A popular suggestion is to purchase a lunge whip from a horse tack shop. One list member has an 11 foot whip another has a 25 footer she says that way she doesnt have to run around, but the dogs can run big. A toy, a piece of fake fur, or even a piece of genuine rabbit fur is tied to the end of it, and the dog chases it as you move it back and forth. It should be kept just in front of the dog so that he anticipates catching it, and he should be allowed to catch it on occasion so that the success keeps him hopeful of more. Im off to the horse tack storeA FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE TITLEWendy Donnelly writes about Tiny Tim Pendleton CGC, CDX, and now UD Utility Dog is not an easy title to come by, especially with our intelligent, creative little Poms. But Timmy earned his on Saturday, February 14, at the Spartanburg Kennel Club show under judge Rose Doan, with a score of 185. Wendy writes, Some of these mistakes were my handler errors. I am going to have my trainer duct-tape my hands and mouth shut so I dont give both signal and verbal commands on the moving stand when starting the heelL__ _ 84 - APC Pomeranian Review - MayJune 2004Jr "" Isegment. I hope, Wendy, that you will duct-tape one or the other. You need to give either a signal or a verbal commandFrom the time of Timmys Utility debut at the summer specialty in Des Moines until the time he earned his UD, it took 17 months and 10 days. What No hours and minutes in there But whos counting] Part of that time he was showing in Utility A, and the rest of the time, actually less than a year, he was in the B classes.I am proud of this boy.

I live in Firth, Idaho with my mom, dad, and older sister. I grew up in Rigby, Idaho. Then I moved to Rexburg where I had six sisters and one brother. My love for Pomeranians began when I was ten years old, when we got our first babe, Elusive Toys Imagine That. We nicknamed her Ginney.I had originally started showing Wire Fox Terriers at eight years old. I won Best of Breed with my first Fox Terrier, Moe. When I got my first Pom, Cathy suggested I take her into Junior Showmanship. I then got my three wins in Novice Junior and moved into the tougher class, Open junior.In July 20,2002,1 got my next show dog, Pom Poms The Andy Man Can. His first time out the following spring, he got his first major of five points at the Jordan Utah shows.In my spare time, I hang out with friends, play with my dogs, read, and help care for the dogs. At home I spend a lot of time caring for my upcoming show Pom babies. I go to handling classes and our clubs fun-matches. I also attend monthly dog club meetings. Our conformation club is very supportive of our esteemed Juniors. I dance for the Firth Pantherettes Dance Team. Then I go hang with friends and go to slumber parties.In the future I plan, on going to college so I can become a cosmetologist and show dogs for my other career. Also, later, I want to become a foot doctor.88 - APC Pomeranian Review - MayJune 2004I would like to take the time to thank my mom for taking me to shows and allowing me to make all this possible.

Almond Alteta PomsPhotos by Ellen Takayama-Itwas truly a great honour to be invited to judge Pomeranians at Crufts 2004 . The entry was a high depth of quality as you would expect from the most prestigious dog show in the worldMy Challenge Certificate Dog and Best of Breed winner Pomanna Silver Arrow at Jacobian commanded my attention as soon as he entered the ring he is a wolf sable with the most beautiful of heads and expression, a short back with a high tail set, giving that round appearance that is what we want to see in a Pom. In full coat that has the most wonderful coarse texture. He showed with an attitude that said, Im the greatest and he was. He gained his crowning third certificate on the day and became a UK Champion. He was also pulled out in the last eight of the Toy Group.My bitch Challenge Certificate Winner was Pyropom Melissus, a striking orange sable with a neat overall appearance. Sweetest of heads with a feminine expression, a good dual purpose sized bitch.It is a day that I will never forget having such beautiful dogs to judge and the appreciation of the audience watching.The 2004 Crufts Dog Show will be televised May 22 on Animal Planet at 8 P.M. EST.Crufts 2004 Continued on Page 94c nifts 2004101st CRUFTS DOG SHOW - ENGLAND - by Ellen Takayama CRUFTS HISTORY The first organized dog show in England was held on June 28 and 29, 1859. There were 60 entries of. Pointers and Setters with only one class held for each breed. The dogs were unidentified except for their kennel names.By 1870, it was decided that a controlling body was necessary to legislate in canine matters. On April 4, 1873, a meeting was held in London, which marked the founding of The Kennel Club.After graduating from college in 1876, Charles Cruft turned his back on his fathers jewelry business much to the dismay of his parents. His first job was selling dog cakes in London. His employer sent him to Europe to endorse the company, and, while in France in 1878, he was invited to organize and promote the canine section of the Paris Exhibition.Mr. Cruft started management of some dog shows in 1886 and founded the worlds greatest dog show in 1891, putting his name to the event. After a long and successful career, Charles Cruft died in 1938, and his widow tried to continue the tradition by running the shows for a few years. It proved too demanding for her, and she asked The Kennel Club to take it over with the understanding that the founders name remained.The first show under The Kennel Club was in 1948 at Olympia. In 1979, there was a change in venue from Olympia to Earls Court and another change in 1991 to the Birmingham National Exhibition Center NEC due to the increasing numbers of exhibitors and visitors.CRUFTS TODAY Crufts is the only championship show that demands a qualifier either by inclusion in The Kennel Club Stud Book or by appropriate wins at championship shows during the previous year from all entrants in the show rings. It is officially recognized in the Guinness Book of Records as the worlds largest dog show. There are 24 other all-breed championship shows of equal merit on paper in the UK, but none of them is as well-known or as well-publicized as Crufts.This years entry of 21,622 dogs 15,000 owners was the third highest entry ever, with 644 dogs from overseas 22 countries, including 36 from the United States. By comparison, only 2,500 AKC registered champions compete at Westminster, the most prestigious show in the U.S., which limits entries for its event at New Yorks Madison Square Garden. There were 177 breeds shown with two U.S. judges at this years show. The show runs four days in five halls with 34 rings in the NEC with over 250,000 square feet of space and there are 400 vendors selling their wonderful wares. It is not unusual to walk 10 miles in one day when you shop at the five halls. Expected are one hundred and thirty thousand visitors, including 5,000 from overseas.Noted American judge Anne Rogers Clark has said, You come to Westminster to win. You go to Crufts to show your dog. In England, the family pet is also the family show dog. There are only a handful of professional handlers in England, so mom, dad and the kids look at showing dogs as a family affair. The British are serious breeders, but their philosophy is that it is an amateur sport.JUDGING SYSTEM To enter Crufts, all dogs must have qualified at championship shows throughout the preceding year. Having qualified, each dog can be entered in an appropriate class either on an age basis or in a class designed to reflect the dogs past show successes such classes are, in fact, grades.There are seven different classes for both dogs and bitches. The first four are age classes, and the last three are classes governed by the dogs winning record.The first class judged is the Veteran class, which consists of dogs over 7 years of age.The next is the Special Puppy class which is open to puppies 6 to 12 months of age.The Special Junior Puppy class is for dogs 6 to 18 months. The Special Yearling class is for dogs 6 to 24 months of age.The Post Graduate is for dogs which have not won a Challenge Certificate or five or more first prizes at championship shows.The Limit class is for dogs which have not won three Challenge Certificates under three different judges or seven or more first prizes in championship shows.The Open class is open to all dogs and is the only class in which the champions can be entered.Championships in England are very difficult to attain as you are always competing against the champions for the coveted Challenge Certificates. To attain a title, you must win three Challenge Certificates under three different judges, one of which must be when the dog is over a year of age. The Reserve Challenge Certificates are also very prestigious, and the people use them in advertising their wins. Not all shows offer Challenge Certificates, as the Kennel Club decides which shows and where and how many CCs a breed is allowed in one year. Pomeranians have 25 sets of CCs, 5 for the breed clubs and the rest at all breed championship shows. Many breeders may never finish their dog if there is a champion that is winning all the time.Awards are given for 1st, 2nd, 3rd places, Reserve and VHC Very Highly Commended for the first 6 classes. The Open class has the same awards with additional awards for HC Highly Commended and C Commended. Ribbon colors are a little different with Red for 1st, Blue for 2nd and Yellow for 3rd.WINNERS There were 155 Pomeranians entered, with 125 actually shown. The judge was a breederjudge, Mrs. Jean Almond of Alteta Pomeranians.

Their standard calls for a finer bone you do not see the chunky legs we see on our American Poms. The Poms were lovely, and I had a wonderful time watching the show as well as shopping until I dropped the following days.I would like to thank the judge, Mrs. Jean Almond and the winners who were so cooperative in letting me take pictures for the Review. I would also like to thank Pom Judge, Mrs. Jacqui Walsh of Jacquis, for providing me detailed information on how the shows are run in the UK.ADVERTISING RATESFull Page Color 275.00Full Page Black White 100.00Half Page Color 150.00Half Page Black White 60.00Fourth Page 40.00All ads include one photo.SUBSCRIPTION RATESFirst Class 45Bulk Rate 37Foreign Rate 100Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico 55Single Issue 10For more information contact Brenda Segelken 217-347-5731fame62401 yahoo.comJ96 - APC Pomeranian Review - MayJune 2004VBI-MARPOMERANIANSBIS, BISS, ROMX, HOF, GC CH.
