Pom Reader Di-ci-mker 2004SHOWSIGHTFROM THE EDITOR JOSEPH NEIL M GINNISPhoto byPatricia .l IcG inn isIm always in the mood for Christmas. I truly love to give, and I really love to get.Ive gotten a lot of good stuff through the years and though the dates might have off, I always equate the receipt of wonderful things to the spirit of Christmas. Birthday, good luck, simple generosity or amazing surprise, no matter how a gift arrives it sets off the ringing of carol bells somewhere in my head. Call it commercial if you want to me, anytime a human goes out of his way to bring pleasure to another, thats special. And no matter what time of year it takes place, its kind of like Christmas.I was raised by people who gave much more than they ever got. When youre given that example from earliest memory on, you cannot help but have it be part of your psyche and soul. For people like me, and probably like you, to see someone get something great is mighty pleasant, indeed to see someone not get what he needs makes one sad, but to see someone lose something is hardest of all.A good friend of mine lost something of late and we pray its just pro tern. My Mother, Harriet Birmingham McGinnis, is in a fight right now, a fight for her life. What she lost is the easy feeling we have, at the start of each day, that the body upon which we so blithely depend will carry us where we want to go. Right now hers is working against her and theres only so much that modem medicine can do its up to the Almighty and her own mighty will to keep her motoring on.It has to be tough for a natural care-giver to ever depend on others. It has to be rough for a woman whos spent her life giving to others, to be on the getting end. And still she gives and gives. She gave to me again the other night.I know where I got a lot of stuff The temper, which when controlled has stood me in good stead but when unleashed has righted many wrongs the willpower which allowed me to quit using alcohol cold-turkey ten years ago and smoking the same way, the following year the calmness and clearheadedness in an emergencywhich allows me to see with crystal clarity each next best step and the ability to totally go to pieces once the excitements over the incredible love of music which causes me to cry during the overture of even the dopiest show. Many other things that I call gifts came my way from her, but there was one I didnt know about and I found out just the other day.Three different trainers in three different cities have joked about something I do. When pushed to the max, as is my desire, and asked how I fare, which is their habit, my standard reply, Im told, is this I can do more. I guess I say that a lot, because theyve joked about it, separately to me, echoing my words. I know, I know I can do more. Hows THAT for more, one even wisecracked, as I practically blew a gasket. So, I guess I say it, I just never thought about it.Till the other night. I was honored to get to accompany my Mother as she tried to build her strength. She went quite a ways down the hall, aided by her walker, concentrating hard and balancing quite well we then turned about and came back. As we approached the door to her room she looked up and said, I can do more.We kept on going but my mind had stopped. So thats where it came from, I thought. The drive, the strength, the energy, the love to make you say I can do more.What a wonderful gift this woman gave me. What a wonderful collection of gifts she gave me and to many others as well. Shes given of herself for eighty-three years and if shes given more time, shell just give that much more. Thats the keyword, more. Thats what she said I can do more.I know you can, Mom. Hang in there. Everybody reading this magazine sends love and best wishes for a return to happy health.But no one more than me.Merry Christmas.The Pom Reader December 2004 25x mfk TaBEST OFOPPOSITE SEX'^ v ^CHAMPION AMERICAN PRIDE OF ALLRIDGEMericaSire BIS Ch.

While some complain of the hectic pace of the holiday season, I prefer to bask in its magical glow.It is a time of reflection for me, as I realize the door is closing on an entire year and is about to open on a new one...As I reflect on this past year, I have to smile as we have been blessed in many ways. On January 11, 2004 Kirstyn Skye was born and now along with doggy x-pens we have a playpen in our dining room. Being the first grandchild, we have had many new things to learn. I have always thought, I could write an instruction book on raising puppies, but oh no I will not volunteer to write one on raising children.We have also expanded a personal interest into the world of miniature horses. Benson has taken an active role in their care and training. We find them to be delightful companions.The entire staff wants to wish each and everyone a happy holiday season filled with joy and happiness.We want to express our sincere gratitude for your support and contributions this past year.. .we appreciate you and want to serve you in the best way we can.There are few events that rival the excitement of attending and being a part of the AKCEukanuba National Championship show. Good luck to all - and congratulations to those who received the special invitation. We hope to see you there.As weapproach the New Year, let us remember to set realistic goals that we can stick to...most of the time. Resolutions are made to improve the quality of someones life and most of the time the resolution involves a personal sacrifice. There is one resolution we should consider that wont feel like a sacrifice and its blessing will be returned to us over and over.Resolve to spend more quality time with your dogs.

Now, in Wisconsin, we live with a view of Rileys Bay which is a bay off from the Bay of Green Bay.I thought, This is dumb. Here I have a beautiful view and I am walking around with my head down, looking at the floor. Until then, I hadnt even realized I was doing that.Why was I doing that It was to avoid tripping on all of the doggie toys lying all over the floor. One bad step on a toy with the foot that is carried on an ankle that will not tolerate a twist and I would be down We have a new six month old puppy at our house, which was recently purchased and another pup that was whelped January 1st. Happy New Year, out of Suds, a CH. Bubbles daughter. Between the two pups and a mom who thinks she is still a pup, we have to watch where we step once again. I had not bought a dog for so many years, that I really couldnt tell you how long ago that was. I not only bought one, but I bought two.. .unheard of, for me I was badly in need of either not breeding or buying into lines that were in the background of my lines and remain a breeder. Well, I hadnt produced that Perfect Pom yet, so I thought I might as well produce a couple more litters to see if I could produce a few more AKC Champions. Time will tellThe two pups are pretty good at being house broken, but that is another reason to watch where you walk. If I dont let the pups out often enough, it is important to walk with my head down, especially if strange fumes are wafting through the air. VBGI think we all are used to watching where we walk, when at a dog show. As often as dog show people havebeen told, there are some who think it is alright for them to let their dog defecate and walk on by without cleaning their mess up, as if nothing happened. They tell themselves, It wasnt me instead of accepting responsibility for their own dogs mess.I will be one of the judges in our Florida Judges groups, who will be on clean-up duty for the AKC Eukanuba Invitational in Tampa, Florida in January. I am hoping the invited guests are educated and dedicated enough to clean up after their own dogs, therefore leaving very little for us judges to clean up Again, time will tell.There was a Doggie Treat printed in our local newspaper just in time for the New Year.

Be especially patient with your humans during this time. They may appear to be more stressed-out than usual and they will appreciate long comforting dog leans.2. They may come home with large bags of things they call gifts. Do not assume that all the gifts are yours.3. Be tolerant if your humans put decorations on you. They seem to get some kind of special pleasure out of seeing how you look with fake antlers.4. They may bring a large tree into the house and set it up in a prominent place and cover it with lights and decorations. Bizarre as it may seem to you, it is an important ritual for your humans, so there are some things you need to know- Dont pee on the tree- Dont drink water in the container that holds the tree- Mind your tail when you are near the tree- If there are packages under the tree, even ones that smell interesting or have your name on them, dont rip them open- Dont chew on the cord that runs from the funny looking hole in the wall to the tree5. Your humans may occasionally invite lots of strangers to come visit during this season. These parties can be lots of fun but they also call for some discretion on your part- Not all strangers appreciate kisses and leans- Dont eat off the buffet table- Beg for goodies subtly- Be pleasant, even if unimowing strangers sit on your sofa- Dont drink out of glasses that are left within your reach unless you can get away with it...6. Likewise your humans may take you visiting. Here your manners will also be important- Observe all the rules 4 for trees that may be in other peoples houses4a is particularly important- Respect the territory of other animals that may live in the house- Tolerate children- Turn on your charm big time7. A big man with a big white beard and a very loud laugh may emerge from your fireplace in the middle of the night. DONT BITE HIMOops...The sire and dam was left out of K.G.

Christine Endow paragon-pomssbcglobal.netThe Pom Reader December 2004- 33WHY WE KEEP POMSWe received this message from another breeder and found it to be so movingthat we thought we would share it withIt rained again this morning. It seems as if it has rained for a week. The yard is a miniature lake. The dogs dont want to get their toes wet. Now these are the same dogs that were swimming in their water bowls last week. So, after much persuading, and a bit of yelling, the dogs tip toe outside. They huddle on muddy islands, shivering and refusing to empty their bladders. They charge the door, sliding their muddy paws down the glass in finger paint style that would make any kid jealous.They charge back to their islands, making sure to throw mud all over their legs and bellies. Back to the door and play slip and slide in the mud.The door to the yard is in my bedroom. Once the door opens, the first place they head to is the bed. Jumping up and down on the springs on the bottom of their feet, they bark, yell and whine, Pet me Pet me I dont want to touch them, much less pet and love, dirty mops and muddy bibs. Mud everywhere On the bed, the floor, myyou during this Holiday Season.Cande Mike Gordonlegs, where they are jumping Pick me Pick me first I put them in their pens, where they promptly go to the toilet. Mud, and poop, on precious pups. I look at the mess my bedroom is in, and think nothing is worth this mess.A couple of hours later, the sun is out. The lake is drying up. Little green plants poke their heads out at every corner. The dogs are in seventh heaven. New newspaper in their pens has them growling, rolling, shredding, and barking with joy. Such a simple thing, clean newspaper, and it is as if I have given them precious jewels. Their joy spreads faster than the flu virus.This is why we keep Poms, to teach us to live in the moment, to be thankful for every kind word, to realize that there will be mud in life, but this too will pass but mostly, to find joy in the simple things. May you have a Poms joy in life, and be as thankful as a Pom for the simple things.Authors name withheldCongratulations to everyone featured in this issueiT it ^ - r 8 Sk\t4rl 1DollyNew Ch.

There are three different types of show structures. Championship shows where CCs or Challenge Certificates are on offer for most breeds. Three CCs are required for a Champion Title but as we have no Specials or Best Of Breed Class dogs which aspire to make their title have to compete against already titled dogs, so this makes it very hard to finish a Champion especially if a top ranking dog goes to all the shows, which it is entirely possible due to the geographical location of the shows, which are mainly in the central belt. At the large All Breed Ch shows there can be from 10,GOO- 26,000 dogs and the shows are over 3-4 days with different groups on different days.The ultimate show in the U.K. is the world famous Crufts, which had over 26,000 dogs entered last year. A huge show with hundreds of trade stands, its the ultimate dog show experience. With the new Pets Passport, dogs from all over the world can attend provided they meet the criteria of our Government and Kennel Club.Next we have Open shows, there is no Champion status but may schedule several classes for many breeds, they are run on the same group system as Ch Shows. Champions may compete, but it is generally considered to be bad sportsmanship to consistently show it. This as a great training ground for aspiring judges to gain experience in all the breeds and a great way for Breed judges to get a foot hold on the judging ladder. For exhibitors, their dogs may accumulate point for 1st prize wins and dogs under the age of 18 month old can gain their Junior Warrant, a sort of juniorChampionship.Groups and BIS and Best Puppy in Show at these shows are also much prized. As many as 3,000 dogs of all breeds can go to these shows which are run every weekend all over the country. Breed judges are often picked from Breed Club judging fists, and are given three classes to get them started off. Exhibitors support these new judges very well, especially if the person in question has had good dogs themselves. We have had Christine Hertz and Elizabeth Spillman judge over here in that capacity, judging Open breed shows as they are not passed for CC judging, and got a very good entry.We then have Members Limited shows, either all breed or Breed Club. You have to be a member of the club and no Champions or CC winner may attend. Again a good training ground for puppies and new judges with restricted classes. A very friendly type of show, and a nice showcase for up and coming puppies.Breed Clubs have limited, open and Ch. shows, usually one of each per year and these are very well attended.Classes for the breed will attract for around 60 -175.The first three classes are for age only, Minor puppy 6-9 months, Puppy 6-12 months, Junior 6-18months. After that we have Maiden, for dogs which have not won a first place at any show,Novice for dogs that have not won more than 3 first places, then we go up to Post Graduate and Graduate, where dogs must have not won more than 1 Challenge Certificate, then to Limit where they must not have won more than 2, then they have to go up to Open as they win their way our of the lower classes. In Open a dog competes with all the Champions and others who havewon as much as they have, so its a tough time getting that last CC. Most breeders would like a Best of Breed Class, but our Kennel Club takes the view that it will only make cheap Champions who have not had to beat the creme de la creme.I do not agree, I feel that many a really good dog fails to get the title because a dog with a reputation sits in open just wining CCs every week until judges either get tired of seeing it or it retires. I would like to see a Grand Champion class like they have in cats, where a Champion could go on to gain a further title and make way for the up and coming. Finishing a English Champion is hard, but something to be proud of.We have a lot of breed judges in this country as well as all- rounders. Unlike many other countries they do not have to give up their dogs to be allowed to do so. This does of course mean that one day they are competing against you, the next they could be judging you.. On the plus side you would hope that being breeders themselves they would have a better understanding of the breed, but on the other side there is sure to be some favouritism or at least it will be perceived that way, but we are used to it.Like exhibitors all around the world we all have the Show post mortem on the way home in the car. We are always giving up on the days we dont do well and yet we cant wait to make out that next entry form. We live for that next fitter, next Champion, next show. Masochism if ever I saw it, but its just great.. You can make friends for fife and lets face it, what else could we possibly find to do at week-ends if we didnt show dogs.Eve Smail Toybox Poms40 The Pom Reader December 2004Teralee Pomeranians is proud to introduceCh.

My first pet was in 1976, followed by a very plain but sound brood bitch, which produced nothing much in the way of show stock, but I kept a bitch puppy of better type than her mother. I had no knowledge of dog shows, but bought a very nice but too big dog and showed him at a couple of shows and was hooked. I had shown Arabian Horses and Persian cats with success and knew that the stock I had was just no goodiEve and Small Print and Firecracker as old boys.42 The Pom Reader December 2004and I started to look for something better.I was put in touch with Mrs. Nancy Robson daughter of Mrs. Gascoine whose Morrell Kennel exported many dogs to the US in the 30's 40's and 50's. Many of those imports appear in Vintage issues of the Pomeranian Reviews. She had a small cream dog but was honest and told me he would not show but had superb breeding and would make a fine stud dog. He was called Rocaar Spice of Life, andlittle did I know when I sent off my 40 60 that this dog would be the back bone of my breeding line and bring me my greatest success in the breed even to this present day.I picked "Chives" up at a local show and he was just so beautiful that I couldn't understand why anyone would want to part with him. He was pale butter-milk cream, black pigment, about 4 lbs and huge harsh coat. He was widely used but it became apparent thatrUpprtrvfr newest Champion...Ucvr7FOREVER N' EVERCh.

I apply this to my breeding programme. I find good heads are easy to get, it is getting the whole package that is harder.In the U.K. we have what I consider to be the best coats as per the standard. Long harsh guard hair and correct amount of under coat. We don't trim so heavy here and we have a lot of sables, where the cutting of the coat would ruin the colour. With this type of coat we do not get the skin problems that the cutie-pie heavy undercoat type seems to bring. I have found that only having a 50 American and 50 British breeding gets me the best of all worlds and no skin problems. Dandy Creation has the best- textured correct coat I have ever seen on a Pom, with a huge tail right up to his ears.I live in the Scotland near Edinburgh the capitol, in a country Toybox What in Creation, Bob, Scottish Kennel Club Show.-4fToybox Fany Wee Dandycottage with no-one close. I have downsized to around 12 Poms now, and do keep all my oldies which means that I cannot keep too many youngsters. Strict legislation prevents breeders keeping or breeding as many dogs as in the past and this is tough on our breed with small litters. I have a purpose built dog room with pens which lead out into runs, two to a pen. Bathing and grooming is done there, but whelping is done in the house and puppies are raised in the kitchen until 5 months old when they join the main population.Its quite a cold country here even in summer so it's great for Pom coats My dogs never live caged except before a show or whelping and have a lot of outside exercise, essential for good movement.Over the years, I have had some wonderful wins and met some wonderful people. Now with the Internet the world is at our fingertips and we can see everyone's stock and share information like no other time in history. This can only make us strive even more for the perfection that we seek in Poms.I am proud to be just a little part of it. 46 The Pom Reader December 2004T o y b o x P o m e r a n i a n sToybox Miss Vivienne Eng.

Mullerkazar Sungold Illusion who lived to be nearly 17 years old and the love of my life. Next I saw in a Pom Review AmCan Ch. Stolannes Highway to Heaven and after much contact back and forward with Fran Stoll pre email days, she agreed to sell him to me. He was a wonderful producer for me, breeding Champions and Multi Champions in every litter. He carried a lot of Millamor breeding which I had admired for some time. His Ch. kids are in the U.K. Ireland, Australia, Iceland and Finland.His Champion daughter Toybox Heaven Forbid was best Bitch at Crufts and a Champion and top winner for my friends Michael and Elizabeth Friedman in Australia. InFinland Mirja Lager did most of her winning in the 90's with Haley sons. He lives on in his last son Ir. Ch. Toybox Heaven Only Knows, now with Sean Carroll in Ireland.Again it was time to bring in new blood and this time I turned to another doyenne of the breed in the USA, Diane Finch. She sent me Am. Ch.

Toybox Golden Opportunity as Best puppy at Crufts and in his first litter of four, Dandy sired one English Champion and one Multi International Ch. plus two top winners. His daughter Toybox What in Creation is on her way to an English Title.I don't breed much now but always like to have something in the ring worthy of the Toybox name.

Since I had met my goals showing the solids, everyone told me that working with Parti-colored Poms was a waste of time... I beg to differ. So I thought I would set higher goals and work with Parti-colored Poms. My goal is in 2005 to finish a parti-colored Pom. I bred my first litter of parties and from that have LaRajus Lets Have a Wild Parti. Now I bred her this last year and produced a pair of blackwhite puppies, LaRajus Pariss Hiltons Wild Parti and LaRajus Parti Animal, the other sister Opal, LaRajus Parti Opal at Winstar went to Walda Green,Winstar Poms. We have just started their show careers. This last year I started handling dogs for AudreyBarbara, Showin Poms. I pointed some orange females and put a major on another bitch for them.

But that is a long story, for another time.I was born on November 21,1952 in Novy Borek its a very small town in Southeastern Poland. My earliest childhood was spent on an old rural farm land. When I say old rural I mean things like a scene out of Little House on the Prairie minus some of the modern conveniences like a manual water pump near the house. Our running water was the stream at the bottom of the hill and the really good drinking water was over the hill and through the woods.The very first dog which I remember was some sort of small wire haired Terrier. He belonged to my great grand parents and lived in the barn to terrorize the vermin. I hated that dog, he was such a grouch. I dont blame him now. He had been living with only a couple who were near their 80s. That is until they took us in after our house burnt down.The second dog was a German Shepherd.

The first was a Feather Show Jr. Match and went on to judge some major canary exhibitions and all cage bird exhibitions such as the Great American Cage Bid Show. These assignments took me to places like Oshkosh, WI Baltimore, MD and even Puerto Rico.OK OK I know Enough of the non-dog stuffDuring the fall of 1983, a Doberman wandered into the parking lot at work. She was starving and barely able to walk only skin with a bunch of bone in it. We gave her water and a meat sandwich but she couldnt keep it down. The receptionist had called the local MSPCA to come get the dog, by the end of the day they were a no show. I could not just leave her there to die so I put her in the car and took her home.

Now I do mean huge, at six I used to ride on his back like a pony. It was such a hard goodbye, for this seven year old, to leave him behind to come to America.Oh My word, what a culture shock when we came to America. I can still remember it so well, May 5th, 1960. How strange it felt to meet a set of grandparents for the first time. My dad had not seen his parents for over twenty years stranded in Poland, WWII, long story. From the airport we went to our new home, a small 3rd floor apartment in Brooklyn, New York. Not a blade of grass to be seen, it was all just concrete.I wanted to know where the live stock was, and where did they graze. WhatNo cows No chickens This seven and a half year old was desperate I took an egg from the fridge, put it in a dresser drawer and lit a flashlight on it. Well I had once heard of a hatching machine the used light bulbs, and well, it was a light. My dad bought a canary to help me get over the lack of living thing around me people did not count.A couple of years later my parents bought a house and I was in glory land.I had a couple of rabbits and then a pigeon coop on the roof. I also had a pair of bantam chickens for a short time. Roosters, big or small, will crow and neighbors complained, so the chickens had to go. Oh well, it was the city after all.Alright, lets fast forward a bunch a years to my early twenties, and here I am in Boston, MA.In 1975, George and I were looking to buy a canary. We found a breederexhibitor of canaries and WOW I found out about shows. I learned about breeding to a standard and competitive exhibition. My choice of Type breed was the Gloster Canary which I paired and bred in the spring of 76. The season seemed good and the resulting fledglings looked good to me. Now the proof would be in how they did at the show. Yes My birds took afew classes and a Section. Let me tell you, I caught the bug The show bug is absolutely incurable but then you all know that already. You probably have it yourselves.During the course of the quarter century I was very active in the National Gloster Club. I held the officesof vice president, secretary, treasurer, president and was also involved as a show manager, classification manager, Constitution and By-Law committee and the judges panel. There wasnt much that I didnt have my finger in at one time or another.1981 saw the start of my judgingThe Pom Reader December 2004- 59Jan Stachurski of Tabletop Pomeraniansf MUrsa Minors Milk Honey Isabella Parti. Touch waiting to show.fyRusty, my first Pom. Ch. Ursa Minors Touch Of Classsoon as I got home I called Rita LaPointe, a friend who was a groomer and 4H teacher of dog training and handling. Rita told me to cook up some rice and ground beef this mix would be mild enough to keep down. The next morning she went to the Vet. Dogs need a name to be treated so she became Tara. Tara weighed 40 pounds and should have been 65 to 70.Unfortunately I was able to keep her for only about 6 months. It had become evident that due to starvation and over breeding, her digestive tract would never function properly. Tara could not hold her bowels for more than a few hours and our house was empty for nearly twelve. She needed a home where someone was around all day to let her in and out as necessary. A goodhome with a young boy and a stay-at- home mom was found with the help of the Standish Humane Society.Fate worked slowly and did not strike until a Saturday in August of 1988. There I was minding my own business, in a pet shop, only intending to buy some fish. This shop also did grooming and I was very friendly with the owners after all we were in there atThe Pom Reader December 2004- 6lJan Stachurski of Tabletop Pomeraniansxxy ijjt,...Kfhj [. . 1CUrsa Minors Milk Honey.least every other week. Out came Rai ownergroomer and asked if I would mind helping her walk the dog because they were short handed and the shop was busy. Well of course I said, Sure, no problem, after all I hadnt paid full price for anything in there for years. So she handed me a leash and at the end of it was a POM CAN YOU PICTURE WHERE THIS IS GOING This was a feisty little guy who had to mark every post, bush and blade of grass, and kick up his heels each time. When we came back in I began to bend down to remove the leash but the little bugger hurled himself up into my arms. I was stunned that such a small dog could jump so high. Rai said Jan he really likes you as my face was being washed.I said I think he is adorable. I wish I could take him home. Rai took that opportunity to say Go ahead take him He has been abandoned here. OK... about 180.00 later for crate, bed, new collar and leash, food etc... Rusty had a new home and I had my first Pom. Actually George spent the money I was too busy gleaming.When I took him to the Vet for a check up and shots, I was told he was about 5 years old. Rusty was the most attached dog I have ever known. He wasnt merely my shadow he was almost an appendage. This strong attachment did not develop with time, it happened instantly, right when I first took that leash in the pet shop. He was my TV and bird room buddy and a travel companion.Rusty had very few requirements. All he wanted was a bit of food, water, a romp in the yard and to be with me. Should the occasion arise where he could not be with me Rusty needed one of my recently worn socks to lie on. Heaven help anyone who might be foolish enough to try and take it from him. Whenever I would travel and he had to stay home, I had to save up socks in a plastic bag so that he could be given a fresh one each morning and at bed time. Awww... Such love and devotion...My dear friend Peggy Margaret York of Tay-York Boxers, knowing that I wanted to become more involved in Poms, told me the Bay Colony Pomeranian Club was having a match in March on 1995.1 got the address from an AKC list and went. This is where I saw some truly beautiful Poms.I reconnected with Barbara Krzewicki of Ursa Minor Pomeranians, whom I had known some years back when she was in the canary club. Barbara sponsored me so I could join the BCPC and I began learning more about the Pomeranian. I was still very involved with my canaries and the bird clubs, so showing Poms had a slow start. In 1998 I was ready and worked out a deal with Barbara to have a couple of show dogs. They were litter mates, Ursa Minors Milk Honey an Isabella parti bitch and Ursa Minors Touch of Class an Orange parti dog. Touch was co-owned by Barbara and me, and handled by Helen Melucci. Touch became a champion at 13 months of age with a couple best of breed wins. Honey was never shown she became very ill at nine months and after the hospital stay she wouldnt stand on a table to be examined.I have made some blunders in the ring but really enjoy handling my dogs.I took a lot of handling classes under the Late Jean Duchaine he was always considerate of the safety of small dogs and puppies. I am currently showing an orange parti bitch. Tabletops Touch of Joy is a Ch. Ursa Minors Touch of Class daughter, with a most wonderfully expressive face. I am also gearing up with a black male who is a Honey grandson by her blue daughter Pearl Tabletops Tahitian Pearl and Christine Creasys CB Hollilys Circuit Breaker. Yes, BLUE normal ORANGE BLACK.

I miss you both tremendously.A special thanks to George Landry for encouraging me and putting up with my insanity for 30 plus years.Be who you wish others were. 62 The Pom Reader December 2004LOOKING FOR...

I simply couldn't take my eyes off of him.

This was Howlene Teahra Almond Joy-Yuki.My Reserve winners bitch was Weewyn Who's In Charge Here, a lovely black girl that also moved well with high ears and short back. On any other given day, she could have easily been the winner. But on this day I could not deny Howlene Teahra Almond Joy-Yuki.I was presented with 6 champions that I felt were outstanding.
