More than 400 canines were entered and strutted their stuff for fun. The AKC Sanctioned match offered dogs and owners a trial run for actual show competition.APC Member Sherri Alspaugh was interviewed and featured in an article published by Louisville, Kentuckys Courier-Journal Newspaper while participating in the Match, January 23, 2005.Sherri was quoted by Courier-Journals reporter Scheri Smith, Its as close to a real show as I could get. Alspaugh of Boonville, Indiana, thought it was a good idea to give her Pomeranian, Paris, a chance to shake off her show-ring jitters before a major event. Were here because she Paris gets nervous.The more a dog is exposed to the show atmosphere, including other dogs barking, a variety of other noises and constant distraction, the more a dog will become accustomed to it. Dogs learn through repetition, Alspaugh said. If they see that nothing hurts them, then they learn its OK.

You need not be an APC Member to subscribe to or advertise in the Pomeranian Review.APC Pomeranian Review - 23Annette DavisOur question for this issue is Do you have any suggestions for raising orphan puppiesThe following article was written by Lois Ciliberto Rinehart was published years ago in the Pom Review. It has such good information that it merits republishing in response to this question.Raising Orphans With an Adoptive DamIf there is a bitch around who has a great disposition and can adjust to simply loving the pups, curling around them to keep warm and licking them, then I would give that the best try I could. Remember, adoptive dams need not be nursing moms. If you can supply the food, a non-nursing adoptive dam can take care of the rest of the burden for you. I have seen some who insisted taking over, others who warmed to the idea slowly, and yet others who would kill the pups sooner than blink an eye. First, know your adoptive mom, second rub a tiny bit of vanilla into pups to change their scent, then put butter on their rears and under the chin. Avoid umbilical area so adoptive mom does not get too anxious and chew on that area.Slowly, holding a pup in hand, fingers curled around pup, back of hand up toward adoptive dam in case she snaps better your hand than the pup - see if the bitch has any sniffing interest. This can take time. Its all new to her, and patience is the guide. If she expresses curiosity, go one step further and let her really smell the pups rear. Let her lick at the butter, but be ready to pull hand back and say no like you really mean it if necessary. If this works, let her lick the butter under the chin, being ready with your free hand every minute to interfere if there is animosity from the bitch.If the bitch is interested, you will be able to tell. Do not give the pup to her yet. Put all pups in a cardboard box near bitch who I will assume is in some kind of confining pen. My dams always shredded papers for their pups. If your bitch has shredded papers with pups before, use this system now. If she hasnt, use whatever system she had when she raised pups. We are assuming you are only trying this with an experienced mom Put some bedding in with the hopefully adoptive mom. See if she attempts to make a bed. Give her some time. Fondle pups to make them squeal a bit while this is going on so she can hear the pups, but cant really get to them. You can see by her head cocking more or less how interested she is. In many cases the bitch will be so encouraged, she will shred paper and dig into bedding trying to make a nest, stopping to listen to the pups every so often. If she establishes interest by this type of nesting behavior, the battle is half won. Dont get discouraged if the bitch does not nest at first. As long as she has interest and is not growling or squirming to get away, you have a foothold. If this interest is expressed, keep those pups squealing a bit. It isnt going to hurt them to squeal a little and crawl about.Assuming you have a potential adoptive dam who is interested, proceed with some risk, exercising caution too, but the risk must be taken. Try the next pups the same way as the first one and see what the bitch thinks of them. She will know they are different pups. Then put butter on all pups and gingerly lay one down in the pen with the bitch - being ready to spring and cover the pup if the bitch gets upset. Now it is a waitseepraybe ready to spring to protect pupgame.If the bitch seems to want to help the pup, give her a little trust and encouragement, petting her with one hand, being ready to cover the pup with the other hand. If the bitch takes to the puppy and you can see that she has no intention of harming it, then give her a little slack and see what she will do with the puppy. She may go away from it for a bit and return, and may look anxious - after all she has not had proper time to prepare a nest and so on. This sounds atrocious, but I always led with the scrawniest or weakest of the pups. If something was going to happen and the bitch was going to harm it before I could stop her, better to be with nature and go for the one best able to be sacrificed. If all goes well, do not wait too long to introduce the rest of the pups. Hang around as close as possible for26-APC Pomeranian Reviewhalf an hour to see what the bitch will do. Once she settles in and is warming and licking the pups, let her be, but also give her some latitude. If she likes her bed at the other end of the pen, let her have it here. I always say that mother knows best.With an adoptive dam, I always fed the dam away from her pups so there would be no lurking jealousy over the food - at least until I saw what the dam was like in that situation. For the first few days, keep butter on the pups rears to assure licking stimulation. After that, its home free except for feedings if your adoptive dam is not in milk. I have seen so many non-nursing substitute moms take pups that it is well worth the effort to try it. The pups are happier, and you get more rest. But if you try, and they die anyway, dont feel guilty. In all probability, they would have died anyway as it is difficult to hand rear them successfully.Hand Raising Orphans With No Adoptive DamI used a cardboard box on the kitchen table, with a heating pad under the outside of the box, not in it. Too much heat kills as fast as too little. Place a towel in the bottom of the box and keep adjusting the heat until it is barely warm. I always kept a large paper towel section to toss over the pups as it gave them coverage and allowed air in. Do not tuck it down and it will move about somewhat as they do. Crying does not hurt pups. I always worry more when there is no noise. Dead quiet pups are about to be dead is my motto. Continual crying, of course, means dissatisfaction - usually not enough to eat, which you can gauge by looking at the tummy. Puppies should be instinctively searching for the warm comfort of a mom. When she isnt around, they are going to cry a bit more than normal. When they draw their legs to their tummy, it is colic or worse. The pup may also need stimulated to have a bowel movement.I also placed the old time honored method - a ticking clock under the towel in one comer as it does make the pups gravitate toward it and they will kind of curl up on it slightly elevating their heads as they do when sleeping on their dam. This helps the natural flow of blood and food. I never used a lamp of any sort, and when it came to nighttime, I kept overhead lights to a minimum so I could just see when I fed and pottied them. They need to instinctively know time, just as they would in the wild.In the daytime I fed 2-3 hours apart depending on how much they took at a sitting. Goats milk or a goats milk-based formula works well for feeding. At night, every 4 hours is fine. I sometimes even missed the 400 A.M. feeding and never lost a pup because of it. A little sleep doesnt hurt the surrogate mom every now and then After every feeding, use a Kleenex - slightly wet with warm tap water to stimulate bowel movements. A bit of butter on the rear now and then does not hurt. If they are doing well, weighing them is silly. It only keeps you stressed out and accomplishes nothing. You can feel full tummies and normal, undehydrated pups by hand. A once a week weigh in is sufficient. If no gain, and they are otherwise eating and not in agony or cold and dying, everything will be fine. You cant possibly expect an orphan pup who is not getting dams milk and normal dam attention to gain as much as one who is getting that benefit. Be happy they are alive, and weight gain can come later.Tube feeding is fine, and many practice it. I have used it, but it was never my cup of tea. Bemie patented a method that was great and it enabled one to know if the pup was really wanting to eat and thereby had the strength and will to live. A lot of times by tube feeding, we are going against nature and just keeping something alive that wants to die or that nature has decreed is going to die. If you wish to tube feed, use a 5 French tube and ask your veterinarian to show you how to do it. However, if you can get the hang of this other method, youll love it. You need a regular clean syringe with no needle. It must be kept moist so it doesnt dry up. Bemie kept it in the formula glass in the refrigerator. Warm the formula just to wrist temperature, then suck up the cc amount you have determined. Place the pup on a towel, belly down. Gently lift head between your fingers, put filled syringe into mouth. Tap slightly between roof of mouth and tongue and maybe squeeze very gently on syringe end so that a dab of milk comes out and the pup gets a taste. The pups little tongue will wrap around the end of the syringe. You just hold the syringe with your thumb on the end that injects - but not actually pushing down. Syringe plunge end down, not up If they suck, the end goes down as they nurse with your ever so slight pressure helping. I have never choked one with this method. Once they do it and you do it, youll never want to use another method. They suck like little pros, and you can measure exactly what they took in by looking at the cc on the syringe. They have to suck to get the food, but not so hard to tire them. Many pups wither from tube feeding, as they do not have the sucking exercise. I have never seen a baby bottle worth its salt. This method is a charm and kept many a Crescendo orphan alive and well. The syringe can be rinsed in warm soapy water, rinsed well, and easily re-used. Forget all of the sterilization nonsense. As with human babies, a little natural exposure to a few germs is not going to hurt. We did have to change syringes a lot as they wear out when the rubber part gets too stiff to work, but that is nothing. Good luck You are certainly in for it hand raising a litter of orphans, and deaths can be experienced. You can drive yourself to the point of weariness and insanity, but there is also a great reward in the pups that do make itOur question for the next issue is Is there anything that can be done to help save a fading puppyYou may direct new questions or answers to these questions toAnnette Davis, 391 N.

All my best wishes for many many years of success.JAN SHARS TOM SAWYER9 months oldvLA PETITE MORINIERE POMERANIANS Cecile JAMET FRANCEAPC Pomeranian Review - 29Viamn 'Icmwn QAopI started breeding Pomeranians approximately 20 years ago and Australian Shepherds 30 years ago. I cant believe it has been that long We have a farm, and I was always quite active in using Aussies for herding the cows and the sheep. In the middle of my breeding program with Australian Shepherds, I became really ill and had to quit. They were my love, and I will always have an Aussie. The Aussie will always be part of the farm.When I became ill and had to stop almost all activities, I was bored to death. I was no longer able to handle sheep, cattle or the Aussies. I was desperate to find a toy breed. I looked at several toys and finally found a Pom I liked. Like most of us, I started with a couple of pet quality dogs.My good friend, Janie Brumfield, and I started a breeding program of Poms. Hence, JAN-SHAR comes from combining our names, Janie and Sharon. Our first dog we obtained together was CH BEV-NOR AND SOUTHLANDS RAMBO. We were very fortunate he turned out. Rambo was purchased at 4 weeks of age, and we were glad to get him. Anything from Bev or Charlotte was hard to come by most were sold at birth. Charlotte Creed finished him for us, and we were so proud. Rambo turned out to be a dream come true. He produced as well as he was and threw many champions for us. Unfortunately, he cut his foot, and we took him to the vet to sew it up he died under anesthetic. We were devastated. What a loss. Janie became sick about four years into our venture and eventually had to quit breeding dogs totally. She is finally well today. However, she was sick for many years. We are still good friends today.I have learned a lot about breeding over the years. One of the first things in my breeding program I discovered was, that as the time went by, the dogs started getting worse instead of better. Too much inbreeding made for poor30 - APC Pomeranian Reviewrears and coarse heads. Jeanne Blank sent me her dog CH. DOO-SHAYS ABSOLUTE, and I started to use him on everything. He was almost a total outcross his pups were beautiful, very glamorous. Jeanne took him back but left me with a great son, CH JAN-SHARS ABSOLUTLY A MASTER PIECE. He took over most of the breeding here for many years. He, too, was lost under anesthesia. Not a cut foot this time. It was after having his teeth cleaned.I have tried many outcrosses over the years some work some did not. Another big influence on my dogs was CH ROCKN TRADITION OF OAKRIDGE. His owner and breeder is Nina Epps. The first 3 bitches I sent to JakertLwCH BEV NOR N SOUTHLAND RAMBOproduced 13 pups. I sent several more females to him. Out of Jake, I got CH JAN- SHARS ITS THE REAL THING, another big producer here at Jan-Shar. She also loaned me Mikey, CH TRADITIONS LEGEND OF OAKRIDGE. I loved Mikey. He was one of my favorite dogs. He produced JAN-SHARS MINNIE PEARL ROMX, who is still producing. He also left me with CH. JAN-SHARS IF LOOKS COULD KILL, one of my main men.My next outcross was TOOKEYES THE GOLDSMITH. I bought him from Ruth Keyes of London, England. Callum was his call name. He was too big to finish here and in England. Callum was a true cream color.He had a beautiful head, big bone and was very sound. Many of his pups were too big, but many were gorgeous. He could really put fancy in his pups. I lost him, too, at about 6 years old, from a defective heart valve they think no one was really sure. He left me with many males and females. His best offspring are CH. JAN-SHARS N SYNC AND CH. JAN-SHARS MINI ME.All of these lines I have mentioned are the Jan-Shar lines of today. I am always looking for the next outcross to click with my line.My latest venture is breeding whites. This time, I mostly started with white bitches and bred to my orange champion males. I am trying to breed a white as good as our oranges. This has not been an easy task. I have been at it for five years and still get manyC.tMCH JAN SHARS ABSOLUTELY A MASTERPIECEJan-Shar Kennel Visit Continued On Page 32 APC Pomeranian Review - 31Jan-Shar Kennel Visit Continued From Page 31em\YaIVV,n \CH JAN-SHARS AN AMERICAN TAIL, a CH RAMBO son Owned by Dave and Ellen Robertspets. If you breed too much out of the white line, you lose the white color. If you breed too much white, you lose the quality. I have not gotten it down to a science, yet. Not so sure I will, but its a great challenge. It keeps me interested in the breed.I am proud of my accomplishments in the last 20 years. I was the APC breeder of the year from 1992 until 2002 and was No. 2 breeder in 2003.1 was top APC exhibitor for 1989 and 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, and No. 2 in 2003. JAN-SHARS BIG MAMA ROMX was top brood bitch 1996 and 1997, the only bitch to ever receive this honor twice. JAN-SHARS ASHLEY was top brood bitch in 1998. JAN- SHARS MINNIE PEARL was top brood for 2003. TOOKEYES THE GOLD SMITH was the top sire 2001. CH. JAN- SHARS DADDY SAYS IM DARLINGwas number No. 1 2001 and top pomeranian 2002 she is owned by Charles and Katy Stalnaker. I have bred over 200 Pomeranian champions to date.At this time, I am having a new kennel built. I have needed it for years. I really wanted to sell this big farm and move to one of the smaller farms. But it does not look like this is going to happen. Consequently, I decided to go ahead with the new kennel. I am looking forward to its completion. It will make things a lot easier for me. I have two new girls to help me, Sheena and Chrystal. Both are great with the dogs. I miss Chrissy, who was with me for five years. She still visits me and the dogs from time to time.S.9WINNERS BEST OF WINNERS national specialtyAMERICANPOMERANIAN^CLUB q 5Baines Photot n CHJAN-SHARS IN LIVING COLOR, a CH BEV-NOR N SOUTHLAND RAMBO sonCH JAN-SHARS MR NICE GUY A MAGIC MOUNTAIN SON32 - APC Pomeranian ReviewlvC41ERSTCHAMERICANPOMERANIAN^-oCLUBy u-'Iilr rCH JAN-SHARS I FEEL LUCKY ijCH JAN-SHARS JOHNNY BE GOODI, like most of you, do much of my own vet care. I give my own shots and take off dew claws. I am quite familiar with medicines. Being on the farm all these years teaches you a great deal about medicines. The vets work well with me, giving me most things I ask for in the medicine line. After 20 years, I sometimes know as much as they do. One thing I have learned, cleaning teeth is one of the most important things you can do for your dogs. My males have their teeth cleaned twice a year and the bitches always once and sometimes twice a year. This is a huge task but well worth it. It is much safer than it was years ago. They do a blood test on them before they give them anesthetic and have much better medicine to put them to sleep. I also shave the dogs spring and fall. It makes for a much cleaner and cooler dog.I am looking forward to spring winters here in West Virginia can be tough. I am planning a trip to Egypt for the month of April.

The goal was to find a way that all Poms that are eligible for Historical Awards receive them. It isnt the dogs fault that as humanswe dont always communicate well and stay in touch regarding offspring, that we forget to submit applications, that ownership changes or unfortunate circumstances prevent applications from being submitted or that we just dont know to apply. So, in my quest to be an advocate for all Pomeranians, I have solved the problem for dogs bom after 1980. I discussed with AKC what I hoped to do and what information I needed. They were able to provide me with a computer report of all titlists from 1980 through 2004. The report includes the correct spellings of all dog names and the sires and dams as recorded by AKC.As a result, I was able to spend countless hours searching the report and have approval to grant the awards that follow. Hopefully in time I will be able to obtain copies of the old Gazette Award Books from 1900 through 1980 which would complete our records. If anyone lives near the AKC Library and would like to help with photocopying for me, please contact meHistorical Awards are granted by the American Pomeranian Club Registrar using the criteria on the previous page. Applications for awards are normally submitted to the Registrar with proof of eligibility. These awards are being granted to catch up our records and as a tribute to the dogs that earned them. Please continue to submit applications in the future and contact me with questions if needed.I often receive questions regarding the APC Annual Awards. Please direct those questions to Kelly Reimschiissel at AwardsAmericanPomeranianClub.org or 801 756-2092. I also receive questions about Pomeranian Histoiy and these should be directed to the Club Historian Cindy Boulware at lovencountrypeoplepc.com or 972 962-3872.Two awards previously granted to dogs bom after 1980 have been rescinded due to lack of the necessary number of titled offspring. Both had been erroneously credited with one offspring from the same kennel. If the owners of these dogs can provide record that either has more titled offspring than appear on the AKC report, please contact me.CH Emcees Chips Of Diamond D - ROM rescindedCH LLL Kaptivating Katy B - ROMX rescinded and ROM grantedI will continue to search the AKC records to correct spelling errors and other errors as time permits.The following awards were earned by producing titled offspring.

Congratulations Heres to a great 2005.APC Pomeranian Review - 41____tiMt wau i see it'^ RiA,d MoreAKC licensed Judges responses are welcome and appreciated. Contact Sue at Email casepomslaol.com, phone 718 470-6267.years. I judge the Sporting Groups, Best In Show and Juniors.Charlotte McGowan1. How long have you been an AKC licensed JudgeI have been judging about thirty Working, Terrier, Toy and HerdingThe majority of Poms come in fine, but some few could be brushed out a bit more, and I do wonder if some of the dogs get enough exercise. These are toy dogs, but they are still dogs, and a little exercise and muscle tone is good for any dog. My Papillons get lots of exercise and are fit. Judges always appreciate that.2. Why did you apply to become a judgeWhen I was a teenager I was invited to judge a match show the entire Working Group. Being young and adventurous, I accepted, even though I told them I didnt know the details of all the breeds. After that I was invited to do a great many matches so I guess people thought I did OK and I really liked the challenge of trying to get the dogs in the right order. I also liked judging them as breeding stock.3. What Breed of dogs have you owned, lived with, and bredI started out with Shelties and bred them for decades with Best In Show winners, specialty winners, etc. I even wrote a book on them. Then I bred Dandie Dinmont Terriers on a small scale, won the national, won the breed at Montgomery, etc. Currently I have bred Papillons for a number of years and I have two Award Of Merits at the National and specialty and group wins. I have bred, I think, twenty-eight champions so far in this breed. I havent had anything else for quite a few years.In the past I had one of several other breeds a Keeshond, a Smooth Fox Terrier, a Golden Retriever, and a Doberman, but now it is just Papillons.8. If you have been judging Pomeranians for over 10 years, please answer the following question How has the overall quality of the Pomeranian improved since you have been judgingIm not sure how long I have been doing Poms, but I do think the breed differs greatly from one area to another. Some areas they are really lovely and in other places they are less so. Overall, I do think breeders have done a great job breeding personable, charming little dogs. I continue to be dismayed that rears are often weak and a lot of dogs have bad patellas. Papillons can have bad patellas, too, but as toy breeders, we have to strive to keep our dogs sound as well as beautiful and typey.9. Do you have any comments concerning our present Breed StandardIll leave that to you, the Pomeranian breeders.Way I See It - Exhibitor Linda Pelz, DreamWeaver Poms, Texas4. Did you ever own or show a PomeranianNo, I have never had a Pom. I have roomed with a friend going to shows with Poms and that is as close to having one as I have been.5. What do you enjoy about judging PomsI really like toy dogs, period. I love Poms for their attitude, foxy little faces and bright, happy ways.6. What do you expect from the exhibitors in your ringPom exhibitors are nice people. Most of them seem to be having fun, have their dogs trained, and make an effort to have them looking their best.7. In general, what do you think an exhibitor can do to improve the average show Poms presentationHow long have you been exhibiting I have been showing Pomeranians since 1997.Are you a professional handler or breederowner I am a breederownerhandler.Was your first show dog, a dog or a bitch My first show Pom was a male.Why Actually, I just told the breeder, Ken, I wanted a dog to show, and didnt specify if I wanted a dog or a bitch.What attracted you to the Pomeranian breed The Pomeranian has a big dog attitude, in a small body and I love their type and cute faces.What concerns do you have for the future of the breed There are many Pom health issues.What do you expect from the judge when you are showing expect the judges respect, and to receive myfidl two minutes even though they dont care for my dog that day. They42 - APC Pomeranian ReviewXXvenueTom Wilson916-689-9586 Sacramento, CA parkavepomscomcast.netDue to overwhelming, hot welcomed, success in the whelping box, Park Avenne Poms offers for your consideration Parker Ch. Pufpride Sweet Dreams puppies. Pedigrees include Park Avenne, Finch, Oakridge, Queennaire, and Jan-Shar.should be gentle with these Poms. Many judges treat them like big dogs during the table exam and practically knock them off the table.What improvements would you like to see in the breed The Poms should have sounder movement than what we are currently seeing. It seems that the movement is getting worse, and I am seeing more bad fronts than before.Do you have an exhibitors blooper you would like to share Knock on wood, I cant think of one to date.What do you feel is the most important asset to a show Pom The Poms coat and conditioning is very important in the show ring. What advice would you give to help a newcomer to exhibiting, before the show, at the show, and in the ring Get to the show in time to set up your grooming area, watch the judges ring procedure, relax and groom your dog. Watch the judge before you go into the ring so you know his directions. Also, be polite to other exhibitors, dont run up on them, and be gracious win or lose.Do you have any suggestions for dog show superintendents pertaining to specifically the toy breeds Definitely Please allow crates at the toy dog rings for the safety of our dogs.What, if anything, would you like to say to the majority of Toy judges My pet peeve, and I would like to say, Judge, please judge the south end of the lead instead of the north end. I know its sometimes easier to judge the person at the end, but its very irritating watching some judges glance at the dog then follow the lead up to see who is handling. And if it is a well-known handler, they continue to watch that person not the dog the whole time, and not watch the other exhibitors in the ring.What are the procedures you follow to get a Pom ready the week prior to a dog show When do you trim, bathe, what products do you use I use different products for different coat types, and I wash according to coat type as well. Puppy coats usually get done the day before adult dogs with a harsher coat get done earlier in the week. I do most of my trimming on a clean dog, after the bath.How do you routinely condition a dogs coat for showing, such as products and food I use Plush Puppy and Pure Paws Products. I free feed 3 different types of dry and Prairie Natural Variety canned once a day, with different supplements. All of the dogs I am showing get Inflight.What is a quality of the Pomeranian, in the AKCAPC Standard, you feel is overlooked most in the show ring I feel too many full coated, trimmed for neatness only Poms are overlooked for the sculpted look. Also, too many Poms are being judged by head cuteness, not overall type, structure and movement.APC Pomeranian Review - 43Hi there. My name is Walda Green. While I am relatively new to Poms I am not new to the world of dog shows. I got my first show dog when I was 15 years old. I started with Afghan Hounds and enjoyed showing them for several years. My claim to fame was my last boy I co-owned him with his breeders, one of the top kennels in the 70s. He was Am Intl Ch. Coastwind Obsidian, he won his Intl title in the days when one had to go to Europe to do it, and we had a friend in Germany who showed him for us. He was a multiple Specialty winner and was the second Afghan and the first black one to go All Breed BIS in California.GettingToKnowYou'"A.daughter, Rachel is 13 years old she is my artist, always drawing these wonder mystical beings.The whole family enjoys the Poms. I purchased my first Pom, as a pet, five years ago, was not going to get involved in showing again, but I guess once you are bitten by the show bug you are bitten for life. So, here I go again. I have made some wonderful friends along the way I cherish each one. I have found that most Pom people are like their dogs they are very friendly and are lots of fun to be around I am nearing the end of my second term as president of the Northern California Pomeranian Club, and I get to be the show chairman for our specialty. This is all just way too much funI retired at the age of 30 years to have my family. I have three great children and am fortunate enough to be able to homeschool them. I have two boys, Allen, 16, and Justin 11. Both are in love with their video game machines MyWalda GreenWays \ Means ChairpersonGetting To Know You will introduce the many talented fine folks serving the APC and help with the APC Pomeranian Review.Look for me at the Ways and Means booth in Kentucky.

Terms like congestive heart failure, heart murmur, and arrhythmia strike terror into the minds of humans, and this is even more so when such words are being used to describe what is happening with a sick Pom. There are many causes of heart disease in dogs, and this article will touch on some of the more common defects that lead to heart failure in dogs.In the normal mammalian heart, there are two sides, a left side and a right side. Each side has two chambers called the atrium and the ventricle for a total of four chambers. These four chambers must beat in an organized manner. The four heart chambers fill with and pump blood. On the right side, blood is returning to the heart from the body venous blood that has already had oxygen taken from it and enters the right atrium. Blood flows and is pumped from the right atrium across an open valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle sends the blood to the lungs to get oxygen. These arteries carry blood to the lungs to be oxygenated. Oxygenated blood is returned to the heart by pulmonary veins. This oxygenated blood flows into the left atrium, which then sends the blood to the left ventricle. The left ventricle sends the blood out into the aorta and arteries to take oxygen and nutrients to the rest of the body.To keep blood moving forward through the chambers when the heart contracts and to force blood to go out of the heart and return to the heart when it completes its cycle, there are four one-way valves. The four heart valves are the tricuspid valve, located between the right atrium and right ventricle 2. the pulmonary or pulmonic valve, between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery 3. the mitral valve, between the left atrium and left ventricle and 4. the aortic valve, between the left ventricle and the aorta. The proper functioning of these valves is critical to maintaining adequate heart function. Things can go wrong with any of these mechanisms, leading to heart disease and heart failure.The most common congenital heart diseases found in puppies is called Patent Ductus Arteriosus PDA. This condition occurs when the vessel called a ductus arteriosus fails to seal after birth. This compromises the circulation of blood through the heart. It occurs in many breeds and is seen more often in females.Before birth, most of the blood from the fetal heart bypasses the fetal lungs via the ductus arteriosus. Normally, this vessel will seal when the animal begins to breathe. But if it doesnt, it causes a sort of short circuit in the circulatory system, which compromises the pumping ability of the heart. Because the pressure within the aorta is always higher than that of the pulmonary artery, shunting is continuous and produces the classic continuous, machinery-like murmur. The result is a volume overload of the pulmonary arteries and veins, left atrium, and left ventricle. Dilatation of these structures becomes evident. Left atrial and left ventricular dilatation may result in cardiac arrhythmia. Chronic volume overloading and dilatation of the left-sided cardiac chambers usually result in signs of left-sided congestive heart failure pulmonary edema, cough, fatigue. Therefore, most untreated cases develop congestive heart failure.Symptoms of this defect are exercise intolerance, lethargy and collapse. Most young animals do not demonstrate clinical signs. Those with a large shunt and older animals often have signs of left-sided congestive heart failure such as cough, rapid breathing, exercise intolerance, and weight loss. Treatment consists of controlling any symptoms of congestive heart failure with medication and the surgical closure of the duct. Early diagnosis of the disease with early intervention leads to a better prognosis for recovery.tiefivrtiCanine PDAIAortic Stenosis', M Subaortic rwgMitral Valve Dysplasia' ^ Stenotic valveAbnormalHypcrtropy of the left ventriclePersistent Rtaht Aortic ArchPulmonic,.SignalsTricuspid Valve Dysplasiasichordae tcndincacPulmonic stenosis is another common congenital heart defect, which causes a blockage of blood flow in the right ventricle, usually due to a malformation of the pulmonic valve. It is found in all breeds, though some breeds are thought to be at greater risk suggesting the potential for this being a genetic defect. With this condition, the outgoing flow of blood, from the heart to lungs, is partially blocked by the malformed valve. This pinches flow and causes a restriction. The effect of this partial obstruction is to force the heart to work harder to pump blood to the lungs. The extent to which a dog will be affected depends on the degree of narrowing stenosis of the valve area. When the dogs heart must work harder than normal, it leaves the dog subject to heart enlargement and excess fluid build-up in the lungs. Affected animals may have a history of failure to thrive and exercise intolerance. Right-sided congestive heart failure may be present. A prominent ejection- type systolic murmur can be heard at the pulmonic valve area. Jugular distention and pulsation may also be present. Animals with moderate or severe pulmonic stenosis will benefit from balloon valvuloplasty or surgical resection. Palliative therapy with diuretics and vasodilators should be initiated if right-sided congestive heart failure is present.Aortic stenosis, like pulmonic stenosis, is a congenital heart defect in which a malformation impedes the flow of blood through the heart. However, where pulmonic stenosis blocks the flow of blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs, aortic stenosis blocks the flow from the left side of the heart to the body, with more serious consequences.The major ramification of left ventricular enlargement is the creation of areas within the heart muscle with poor circulation. A decrease in the blood supply to the heart is a major factor in the development of serious life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia. There may be a history of exercise intolerance and with occasional loss of consciousness. Animals with no history of illness may die suddenly, and the defect is first detected at necropsy. An ejection-type systolic murmur is heard at the aortic valve area. The intensity of the murmur correlates fairly well with the degree of constriction and may increase as animals mature, reflecting progressive obstruction. Puppies without detectable murmurs should not be considered free of disease until they reach six months of age because the murmur may be very soft in the first months of life. Treatment options include balloon valvuloplasty and surgical resection. The use of B-adrenergic blockers propranolol, atenolol have been advocated in animals to reduce the frequency of arrhythmias. Affected animals should not be used for breeding.Dogs can also suffer from the classic hole in the heart, otherwise known as a Ventricular Septal Defect VSD. The term describes a malformation of the heart where there is a hole between the left and right ventricles. This causes blood to leak between the two chambers, reducing the hearts ability to pump blood around the body. The consequences of a VSD are determined by the size of the defect. Definitive treatment of symptomatic or severe lesions requires surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass and is rarely performed. Pulmonary artery banding can sometimes be helpful in dogs with large VSD. If surgical correction or palliation is not an option, medical management of congestive heart failure may be required. Prophylactic antibiotic therapy should be considered in patients with VSD when there is known potential for hematogenous exposure to infectious organisms.Valvular malformations are another common congenital cardiac defect in dogs.Mitral valve dysplasia results in mitral insufficiency and systolic regurgitation of blood into the left atrium. Any component of the mitral valve complex valve leaflets, chordae tendineae, papillary muscles may be malformed. Often, more than one component is defective.Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia is a congenital defect that is suspected to be hereditary. In this condition, the tricuspid valve the valve between the right atrium and right ventricle is not properly formed. TVD ranges in severity from very mild to very severe. The very mild tomoderate cases may not ever show any clinical signs of disease and, thus, no one knows they have this problem. They live happy, healthy, active lives. The problem arises with these individuals not because of any problems to themselves but because, if this problem is hereditary as it is suspected to be, the offspring of asymptomatic parents might have the problem and, if so, can often have a more severe form of the disease. Individuals affected by a more severe form of the disease are unable to have a properly functioning heart and usually develop congestive heart failure when the defective valve allows regurgitation of blood back into the atrium. This leads to the development of right-sided congestive heart failure. With medical management, these individuals can survive for a period of time few month to couple of years. Obviously, affected individuals should not be used for breeding.Congenital malformation of the mitral valve complex mitral valve dysplasia is a common congenital cardiac defect.Mitral valve dysplasia results in mitral insufficiency and systolic regurgitation of blood into the left atrium. Any component of the mitral valve complex valve leaflets, chordae tendineae, papillary muscles may be malformed. Often, more than one component is defective. Chronic mitral regurgitation leads to volume overload of the left heart, which results in dilatation of the left ventricle and atrium. When mitral regurgitation is severe, cardiac output decreases, which results in signs of cardiac failure. Dilatation of the left-sided chambers predisposes affected animals to arrhythmias. In some cases, malformation of the mitral valve complex causes a degree of valvular constriction as well as insufficiency.Clinical signs correlate with the severity of the defect. Affected animals usually display signs of left-sided heart failure, including weakness, cough, and exercise intolerance. A systolic murmur of mitral regurgitation is prominent. A diastolic gallop rhythm is present in some cases. Affected animals may have a precordial thrill over the left cardiac apex. Atrial arrhythmias atrial premature complexes, atrial fibrillation are common. There may also be evidence of both left atrial and left ventricular enlargement. Thoracic radiographs reveal severe left atrial enlargement. Left ventricular enlargement is also present, and pulmonary veins are congested. Echocardiography demonstrates malformation of the mitral valve complex fused chordae tendineae and thickened, immobile valve leaflets and left atrial and ventricular dilatation. Doppler echocardiography demonstrates severe mitral regurgitation. Prognosis for animals with clinical signs is poor. Mildly affected animals may remain free of clinical signs for several years. Therapy is palliative to treat the symptoms of congestive heart failure.Tricuspid dysplasia is similar to mitral valve dysplasia only it affects the right side of the heart. Affected animals usually display signs of right-sided heart failure, including jugular distention and pulsation, edema, abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, rapid breathing, and exercise intolerance. A harsh systolic murmur of tricuspid regurgitation is prominent at the right cardiac apex. Atrial arrhythmias, especially convulsive atrial tachycardia very rapid heartbeat, are common and become serious enough to cause death. Thoracic radiographs reveal severe right atrial and right ventricular enlargement. The caudal vena cava may be significantly enlarged. Echocardiography demonstrates malformation of the tricuspid valve and usually severe right atrial and ventricular dilatation. Doppler echocardiography demonstrates severe tricuspid regurgitation. Prognosis for animals with clinical signs is guarded. Periodic abdominocentesis may be needed to control excess peritoneal fluids. Diuretics, vasodilators, and digoxin may also be indicated.Persistent Right Aortic Arch is an abnormality of the vascular ring. In normal fetus development, fetal blood vessels near the base of the heart initially serve a function but then deteriorate and disappear as the embryo grows. Occasionally, these vessels in the chest cavity, called the aortic arches, will fail to disappear. The right aortic arch passes near the esophagus. If this blood vessel persists in the newborn, the esophagus is trapped between it and the heart. This inhibits the growth and function of the esophagus, thus restricting food passage to the stomach. Usually, symptoms appear before six months of age and include stunted growth and regurgitation immediately after eating. The affected puppy may also experience difficulty breathing if regurgitated food is aspirated or if the trachea is also restricted. Without treatment, growth will be severely stunted, as the puppy will be unable to digest adequate amounts of food. Severe respiratory disfunction such as pneumonia may also develop. Many affected puppies will not grow at a normal rate and will be smaller than their littermates.Treatment for the condition consists of surgical removal of the stricture narrowing caused by the persistent right aortic arch. It is important to perform surgery early in the disease, before permanent growth damage has occurred.The presence of a serious congenital heart defect often results in an enormous emotional and financial strain on an owner or breeder at a very vulnerable time. Education is an important part of successfully coping as well as making the right decisions for you and your Pom.2005 National SpecialtyGuestArtistBy Becky SabourinrAmerican Pomeranian ClubMr. Stefano Scullino of Doubleesse Pomeranians and Shih Tzus, has graciously donated another piece of his artwork for the 2005 American Pomeranian Club National Specialty. He has donated two other pieces that were auctioned at APC Nationals in the past.Mr. Scullino attended an artistic school and graduated with an interest in architecture. He has been doing artwork since childhood. His artwork includes kennel logos, drawings and portraits for breeders of many different breeds worldwide. When he is not working on his artwork or showing his Poms and Shih Tzus, he runs a pet shop.v-r-yHis artwork is usually done in ink, pencil or colored pencil. He has also used watercolors and other mediums and techniques. The first piece he donated was in 1997. The drawing was of three Pomeranians in a basket done in colored pencil. The second piece, donated in 2001, was of two Pomeranians. It was done in matita sanguigna otherwise known as a sepia drawing. The 2005 Logo for the APC National Specialty is from a private collection and has been reproduced in black and white.To quote Mr. Scullino I feel that being a good dog artist is rather difficult in that you can be a good artist, but, if you dont have a certain knowledge of dogs, their standard and, generally speaking, the way that breed is supposed to look like, you can do a piece of artwork that is beautifully made but the dog is just incorrect. On the other side, you can be a dog expert and really know what each breed is supposed to look like, but, if you are not a talented artist, you wont be able to put it on paper so to speak. Very definitely, you need both qualities.The American Pomeranian Club wishes to thank Mr. Scullino for his generosity, and we are looking forward to seeing this years artwork. Maybe you will be the big winner of Mr. Scullinos 2005 artwork.Right Win this original color Scullino 2005 Artwork.

APC Pomeranian Review - 59Ya Ya CYaYa5252Pat was bom Patricia deNeveu Ray 5 Vi years after her sister that is me was, a few decades back. She lived in the Milwaukee area all of her life until AKC took her away from us and moved her to North Carolina. Her family is happy to finally get her backDuring her employment at AKC, she implemented many new programs, the latest being Rally. I am sure the people now participating in Rally will be forever grateful to her. It is a growing, very popular sport.Pat and A1 have rebuilt their cottage on Lake George in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, making it their permanent home. A1 has been waiting for this for a long while I am willing to bet that you will see her back in the ring, judging her favorite Companion Events, soon. Having worked all of her adult life, Im sure she will get bored just staying at home and fishing all day.Julie Eagle, her secretary at AKC, wrote the followingPat Krause has been in the dog show world since 1965 showing Irish Setters in obedience, conformation and field events. In addition to the Irish Setters, she has earned numerous titles in obedience with her Border Collies and Champion Pomeranian.Pat was an Obedience Judge for 25 years prior to her employment at the American Kennel Club. She was the Assistant Director of Training at K-9 Obedience Training Club of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, the Director of Training for the Irish Setter Club of Milwaukee, and a private trainer at several other clubs in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area.Pat came to the American Kennel Club in 1999 as the Director of Obedience. In May 2000, she was named Assistant Vice-President of Companion Events, which includes Agility, Obedience, Tracking and Rally. Pat is a big fan of fishing and enjoys an occasional round of golf. She has always been in love with the outdoors and was a licensed Wildlife Rehabilitated in her spare time, specializing in raptors.She has added so much to the obedience world since she came on board. It was her dedication to the sport and the fancy that she knew she was going to have to work nonstop and long hours to get things moving. She would not leave the office until 800pm or 900pm four out of five nights. You called the office to talk to her at night, not her house. And yet, she would still manage to come in to the office every morning with a smile on her face and say, Good Morning. How is everyonePats first year here at AKC she made it a point to get out in the obedience, tracking and agility world and at that time Canine Good Citizens was a part of our department. She was gone 37 out of 52 weekends that first year, and that is why we have, what we have today in Companion Events. It takes someone with dedication and determination.Pat has gone through many trials and tribulations since she has been here her son in Wisconsin won a bout with cancer then not long after, Pat won a bout with cancer. In the next year, she lost all three of her dogs just months apart. But she never failed to perform to her best and never had the importance of what was needed to enhance Companion Events far from her mind. I dont know how we will ever replace her its going to take a mighty big person to fill her shoes.Thank you, Pat Krause----forbringing Rally into AKC. . .and for bringing such joy into the lives ofyoung dogs. . .. . . and oldm-i77X-Photos by Robin French. . . with love from all of the exhibitors and dogs in Obedience, Agility, and Rally who have benefited by your wise guidance.Barbara McClatchey Lake Jackson, Texas Rescuesecondchancepoms.org www.secondchancepoms.orgAPC Pomeranian Review - 61BBSS S 1 4r'StBarbara Proctor and Tanner atRally Trial Levi F'9ure 8 Owned by Mike andCarolyn SmithM v 'Happy retirVIPJ 4 iy Girl Sheffield CDLevi Owned by Mike and Carolyn SmithSassy Girl Sheffield CDX Owned by Lisa Sheffield_________ Pom Friends at the Magnolia Christmas Classic, Jackson, MS, Saturday, December 11, 2004 Obedience Match.

She mistakenly thought it was the signal exercise and from 50 ft away gave Tucker the down signal which he obediently did. She should have done the recall and drop on the judge s command. Oops.Timmy was so tired and on the next to the last exercise of the day his eyes were glazing over and it was signals. I gave him the down signal nicely he looked at me like Im tired and cant see straight did you say something and I had waited him out to see if he would figure it out without the double command but then he just stood there like huh what. Every other exercise was done correctly the whole day. Boy was I proud of him.On day two Tucker, making the final cut of 32 on the first day, went on and made it through round one of the competition and then as the competition got tougher up against a Golden Retriever, Tucker wasnt as precise as he should have been and missed out during the 2nd round.We are very proud of these dogs and look forward to watching Timmy work at the Specialty in LouisvilleL__64 - APC Pomeranian ReviewJrTUCKER UDX2When Tuckers UDX2 title came to me in time for the last issue, I knew I had to track this dog down and find out more about him and Joyce Hance, his ownerhandler. The UDX title requires the dog to qualify pass in j both the Open and Utility classes at 10 different trials. That kind of consistency is hard for Poms, whose stamina tends to be a little lower than that of the larger breeds see above. The UDX2 means that Tucker has qualified in Open and Utility at 20 trials. And I know he is going for still more - UDX3 may be the next I thing we hear from him. Joyce is not on the Internet, so it took me some time to locate her, but I finally I received a snail-mail report on Tucker, and it was an interesting story. She says Tucker spent most of his first two years in a cage in a garage in South Dakota. He then was given to a young J family with children and other dogs. He did not fit in there and was taken by two relatives who drove to Las\ Vegas with him. Because the new owner was returning by bus, Tucker could not go, and I was able to adopt J him. This two-year-old dogs teeth were brown, and he had a terrible odor. On the way home, we stopped at the pet store for shampoo, toothbrush and paste, and dog food, got him home and bathed him. He wouldnt let me brush his teeth at that time, though he loves it now. We got him to a veterinarian for shots, checkup, and tooth cleaning. Tucker knew only two things when I got him his name and how to sit. I got him into obedience classes and then with me working full time and most weekends, it took several years to get his UD. \I I retired then, so in only six months he had his UDX. He also has 11 OTCHpoints. Obedience Trial I Champion - it takes 100 points to get the title. Tucker likes being the baby in my home. The only thing he likes better than to be held is to be picked up. He is always bouncy and energetic. He has flown nineteen\ times on commercial airlines under the seat. One time Tucker and Iflew in an open cockpit bi-plane for two J glider pulls. After landing - he still loved meTHE FIRST RALLY TITLES I promised in the last issue that I would have the first Rally-titled Pom for you in this issue -1 lied. We had 5 - count them - Pomeranians who titled in Rally Novice on January 1 and 2. Normally, the AKC does not allow I clubs to hold shows or trials on New Years weekend, but because Rally became an official titling event on I January 1, and because excited clubs petitioned to be the first, AKC made a one-time exception to their rule.I AKCs new ObedienceRally rule also allows clubs to hold two events on one day, and several clubs took advantage of this combination of rule and exception to hold three trials on New Years weekend. In twoJ locations, Pomeranians entered all three trials and completed their Rally Novice titles APC has decided to J count them all as first RN title rather than try to work out which came first in time. Here they are From DOTCORNY in New York Jazz, aka Music to my Eyes CD RN also CGC and TDI, owned by Marcia Messina Jagger, aka Street Fighting Man RN also CGC, owned by Marcia Messina 1 Princess Phoebe, aka Satrapis Sayornis RN also CGC, owned by Marcia Messina II And from Rapid City Kennel Club in South Dakota IDesert Fire Rose CDX OA NAJ NAP RN also CGC, owned by Crystal Brown Extane Haleighs Fire Dream CD RN also CGC, owned by Crystal Brownj All of which just proves what Ive always known - you cant have just one Pomeranian.

Personally, I have two nurses in my household - Tuffy and Tiffany finished their first Rally titles on January 15 in Canton, MS. And I judged - and qualified - the first Rally leg for the first Pom to title in Rally in Texas, Phantom English Tanner RN, owned by Barbara Proctor of Jackson, Miss.

Votes needed to adopt 186. Failed for 159, against 120.On-line registration has been an extremely successful plan. Registrations had a large increase in 2004, surpassing substantially year 2003. Personal view on this, while many are not involved with computer and online systems, this method has proven fast, convenient, and easy. AKC has made it fairly simple, www.akc.org to walk you through this process.There has been furor and requests for more information regarding AKCs Parent Club Breeder Referral System. This is a very lengthy, but important, issue for all parent clubs and can best be described by referring to the AKC Website. fwww.akc.orgNew ruling passed in September 2004 on issue that existed previously, but is amended No signs offering dogs for sale, to eliminate selling dogs at dog shows previous Chapter 13, Section 4 states No signs shall be displayed on a bench except the plaque or emblem of a show-giving specialty club to which the dogs owner belongs, and signs not over 11 by 14 inches offering dogs or puppies for sale, or giving thekennel name and address of the owner, or the dogs name and list of awards won by it at that show, or the name of showgiving specialty club of which the dogs owner is a member. No prizes or ribbons shall be displayed on the bench except those won by the dog at that show.The following new Section 4 passed September 2004Each show, giving club may specify whatever signage andor decorations will be allowed at the individual benches no prizes or ribbons shall be displayed on the bench except those won by the dog at that show.Most of us are now aware that any signs of viciousness or aggressive behavior toward another dog, the judge, or another exhibitor will be penalized.At the September 2004 meeting, amendment states A dog recorded as Excused for threatening or menacing by a Judge on two occasions will be administratively disqualified by the American Kennel Club.Personal note In the past, generally, the wording states that a judge may disqualify such a dog. Now it emphatically states that the judge will take the action.Perhaps I have overly simplified these rules and changes, but as your delegate, I try to weed out those issues in which our parent club would have no interest or would not ever be involved, and have included only those that can, or could, become of interest to us.Feel free to contact me anytime, and Ill try to help if I can.

And since I think they need to listen to Pom people period, thats the meaningful one on my mind right now. AnonymousIve had show dogs for sixteen years started with Kees. I have had some very nice show dogs. I am new to Poms, having had one for almost two years. Hes doing well as a special. Why would I join the APC Because I think it makes a statement that one is serious about a breed, is willing to adhere to ethics guidelines and is formally interested in the betterment of the breed. Do I think APC will do something for me No. Will I probably join Yes. BrendaThe advantage to being an APC member is my email and website is on the APC referral link. JulieI do not think of APC membership as advantageous. Membership is a duty and a responsibility to our breed. As a mostly cohesive, sanctioned group, we are in a better position to work for the betterment of Poms than any of us would be on our own.Regards, CarolynI do not belong to APC. Maybe APC should let people know what the advantage would be. Possibly it would be an APC Stamp of Approval issued each year to members from APC. Members are interviewed. Interview committee believes they are ethical and responsible breeders. All have signed an oath to subscribing to the club code of ethics before they can become a member. One should be selling only healthy dogspuppies and they will take their dogs back with full refund should a vet find the dog unhealthy within the first twenty-four hours. Plus breeders will always take their dogs back from buyers should buyer decide not to keep it. They would not sell puppies earlier than xx amount of weeks old should be 12 weeks. This would mean a Stamp Of Approval for buyer to know it is best to purchase from APC members. VirginiaAs a new member, as well as a new Pom fancier, I feel honored to be accepted to such an established group of well-respected people who, through years of dedication and hard work, made the Pom what it is today. By being a member of the APC, it gives me access to information firsthand and allows me to be to part of an organization where several well-informed individuals collectively share their thoughts to enhance the quality of our breed. Jo70 - APC Pomeranian ReviewThe APC is a breed club. A breed club is a group of people who got together because they share a common interest. It is this interest in a certain breed that should want us to become members, and not some idea of furthering our own agendas. If you must have advantages, the club puts out a very nice and truly informative magazine. We hold a well-run National Specialty, with seminars and hospitality, etc. We sponsor another specialty during the summer. I know that you have to pay for the magazine and for attending the shows and seminars, but if APC would disappear today, you couldnt do any of these things period. ErikaThe advantage of being an APC member is an opportunity to work within the parent club for the betterment of the breed in a positive way. If you sit back and dont participate other than paying your dues, there are no benefits other than saying you are a member of APC and being eligible for the annual awards. The real benefits come from volunteering your time for the betterment of the club and yes, you can do it from afar thanks to computers. Volunteering, I have benefited by meeting some really great and dedicated breeders who have made positive contributions to the club volunteering their time and money. Try it, youll like it BeckyFirst let me define my history. I was the APC Corresponding Secretary for five and a half years. I did the job now done by four people. I did the Review Subscriptions, Membership Subscriptions, all Board correspondence, and I did all the Awards and Stats. Geesh Those were the days I also served as 1st Vice President for one term and was on the Board for a while. So, I may be prejudiced, when it comes to this discussion. But my APC membership has been integral to my breeding program, both through education and incentive. It encouraged me to try harder and do better. To uphold the ethics set by the club. It also gave me the opportunity to vote on very important issues through my years in this club. The club has gone through many hardships through these years, and I have been a part of solving the problems and bringing the club forward. If you want a voice, you must join the club. I dont feel you have any reason to complain about the standard or the club events or activities if you are not willing to participate My suggestion is to definitely join, and then volunteer, and run for office, if so inclined, and be a part of the decision-making Then you can complain all you want and people will listen I have been honored to serve this club through the years, and I hope Ive given back what they have given to me and more And the question of what is the advantage of being a member should be, What advantage could you bring to club through your membership Since when is it all about YOU Thanks. AudreyActually, I am not sure, unless being on the roster, and being able to write articles for the Review are the two biggies. I think that being a member of the parent club would help to give more of a voice in the breeding concerns and issues that are specific to our breed. I also think that being a member of the national club helps to bring us together for the specialties, rescue efforts, and concerns for education. KelleyThe advantages of being an APC member is that, if and whenever there would be any type of change in the standard, you would get to have input and vote on it. I also feel that the more people we have as members hopefully the more impact we can have on the research on problems of the breed. KayI think the advantage for me is that it is a reminder to me that I have ethics to live by, like the Ten Commandments. I have an obligation to the breed to make improvements in my lines and others that come to our kennel. JudyI believe credibility and respect of breeders attempting to maintain the Pom standard are the members of APC. It is a reliable source for referring potential ownersbreeders of Poms. There is a standard for APC members that needs to be met as well. RobertaFor further APC membership information, please see the Presidents Report pages 24 and 25, as well as the APC Constitutional Objective on page 23.APC Pomeranian Review - 71By Sally BaugnietThis year, I was in charge of the APC Meet the Breeds Booth in Tampa, Florida. The booth was simple but visitor friendly. I chose to use the Pom Royalty theme. It was worked around the prize-winning Art Poster Contest for the AKCEukanuba National Championship Fourth Annual All-Breed Invitational Dog Show, since the winning poster featured a Pomeranian.Flowers and leis were brought from Flawaii by Roger Lau. Poor Roger He came all of the way from Hawaii on an overnight flight, overslept Saturday morning because of the jet lag that occurs with the difference in time zones, and missed the Pom judging. He promised to come to our National Specialty in Louisville in March. He will get to see the Poms he missed in Tampa plus even more gorgeous Poms.We had a photo album, Pom magazines, books, and handouts on the table, and, of course, we had some real live Pomeranians on the table for people to pet and hug.I am grateful for the Pom people who came forward to help in the booth. David Gilstrap helped me set it up. He took care of the high things. My hair is getting too old to have me stand on a chair and risk falling from it. The Sunday crew helped take things down.David, Roger, Teresa Picon, Carol Leemhuis, Camilla Knight, Laurie Otis, Bobii Earl, and Donna Machniak all volunteered to help on Saturday. On Sunday, volunteers were Sherry Christianson, Julie Volkhemer, and Toby Tang, who came from Thailand to handle a Pom. Courtney Johnson and Mary Mullen worked in the booth both Saturday and Sunday.The Poms in the booth were fantastic. Two of them are therapy dogs. They let kids and adults pet, hug and hold them all day long.Booth hours were from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The aisles were crowded during those hours, but I did manage to sneak in a few pictures. Many thanks go to all of our volunteers. I will bring signed posters that anyone ordered from me to the National Specialty in Kentucky in March. Extras may be available.

Starfire Wicked Mean-N-NastyI71_APC Pomeranian Review - 75--11V, oTrDarrell Baker, otherwise known as, Santa Claus and his furry friends.PawsWritten by Connie ZiebaEveryone knows Darrell Baker as a well-liked dog judge, breeder, exhibitor, longtime member of the American Pomeranian Club, and loving husband of Olga Baker. However some of you may not be aware that for six weeks every winter Mr. Baker becomes a professional Santa Claus.Darrell first became motivated to take on the Santa persona after watching the classic movie, Miracle on 34th Street. The film inspired him to pursue the job at a shopping mall near to his home in Dickinson, Texas. He inquired at the Almeda Mall in 1988 and was immediately hired. 16 years later he has been Santa Claus for the Almeda Mall, then Baybrook Mall, and now for the last five years, the huge Galleria Shopping Mall in Houston.Darrell absolutely loves the job of Santa Claus. Olga says her husband, comes to life at this special time of year. Darrell attributes his enjoyment as coming from loving children. He loves seeing their faces light up. He enjoys asking them if theyve been good, or at least pretty good. If they look a little unsure, he tells them there is still time to be good before Christmas gets here. He loves the things children say. One time a little girl with a well-loved teddy bear sat on his lap. She told him for Christmas she wanted a new teddy bear. When Darrell asked her why she needed a new one, she replied because her little sister put the old one in the oven and cooked itSantaSome of the requests tug at the heartstrings. Mr. Baker has had requests to bring my daddy back and to make mommy well again. Several children asked for a snowy Christmas. When it unexpectedly snowed on Christmas Eve, Darrells grandson commented all those kids must have thought Santa brought them snow. One child told Santa she had asked him for a violin for the last three years and she still did not have one. Darrell looked over her shoulder to see the reaction of her mother. The Mom nodded affirmatively so Darrell was able to assure the girl this year she would receive her violin. After watching the movie, A Christmas Story. Darrell began telling the boys who ask for B.B. guns that they will shoot their eye out. This always gets a laugh.Olga is amazed at the variety of questions Santa is bombarded with every year, and at her husbands ability to come up with satisfactory answers. Apopular question is, Where are your reindeer Darrell replies, The reindeer are at home resting up for Christmas Eve when they will have to deliverall the presents. Some children want to know why the reindeer are not at the mall with Santa. Mr. Baker tells them some people might be scared byreindeer even though he knows you the child wont be. Santa Paws Continued on Page 771-rx1'"X41 a76 - APC Pomeranian ReviewRegional Pom Club ReportPomeranian Club of Central IndianaPomeranian Club of Central IndianaThe Pomeranian Club of Central Indiana held its annual Christmas Party and meeting December 12, 2004, at the First Friends Training Center in Fishers, Indiana. We had a wonderful turnout as well as lots of cute Poms.After visiting and sharing a variety of home cooked goodies, the board meeting and club business meetings were held. Shortly after, the Christmas party began with our annual steal a gift Christmas exchange, which is alwaysftja lot of fun. There were people who tried hiding their new gifts so others would not see them and steal. Even though it was not always successful, dramatic tales were told why gifts should not be stolen. It was a fun time for all who participated.Photographer Ron Anderson, with great props, was on hand to take photos of the Pomeranians for a nominal fee. He also took an annual Christmas photo of PCCI members left, our Pom friends and guests. A good time was had by all.Santa Paws Continued From Page 76Santa Claus is popular with older kids and adults who stop by to chat and pose for pictures. Of course, Darrell has had many local celebrities drop in through the years. Shapely Anna Nicole Smith has sat on Darrells lap. Astros Manager Larry Deirker posed along with his grandchildren. Local newscasters such as Debra Duncan have also taken a seat. Darrell makes an uncommonly good-looking Santa and his popularity in Houston is legendary. Frequently he is recognized when out and about all during the year. Many families bring their children to him each and every year, some for as long as nine years running. Darrell has worked for private parties as well, such as a local credit union and for a Montessori school. There is one party that he can be depended on to clear his calendar for. For the last five years, a few days before Christmas, Mr. Baker goes to the home of a special needs girl. She is now 13 and she and her family and friends have become very special to their Santa.The Pomeranian Club of Greater Houston has also benefited from the attentions of their favorite Santa. Last year at the Club Christmas party, Santa Claus made a special appearance just to pose with all the well-loved Pomeranians belonging to our lucky club members. That particular party had the largest attendance of any club function in recent memory. Members traveled all the way from Dallas, Corpus Christi, and elsewhere and brought several Poms each. Santa sat with each and every Pom and then posed with the children human and then all the lovely lady members. Needless to say, Mr. Baker has been requested again for our next Christmas party.Sometimes, Darrells special expertise with canines comes in handy as Santa Claus. When movies or events come about that create a huge demand for certain dog breeds, Darrell tactfully suggests the children and parents think again before bringing home a puppy that might not make a successful pet. The Galleria also hosts a successful event called Pet Day where dogs and cats are welcomed to visit with Santa. Naturally, Darrell is a master at handling the dogs and getting them to sit for a nice picture. Many times this means a child is sitting on one knee and an excited dog is sitting on the other. One little girl was stunned when Darrell, as Santa, successfully recognized her dog as the unusual breed of a Rhodesian Ridgeback.When a child asks Santa for a Christmas puppy, Darrells response is to look at the parent to see his or her reaction before answering. If consent isnt apparent, Santa will tell the child he has to check with the parents before he can give a live animal. People who do not know Darrells interest in dogs have asked him if he minds posing with animals. Mr. Claus has posed with cats, dogs, and even a Cockatoo. One lady asked if she could bring in her Boa Constrictor. After that request the event coordinators specified no reptiles.Over the years Darrell aka Santa Claus has been reported in several local news publications. He has also been featured in an advertising video in which he had to dance and rap hip-hop style.Recently, when Darrell received his paycheck for his work as Santa, he deduced he had been overpaid by 700.00. Mr. Baker promptly returned the amount to the company, thus proving beyond all doubt that Darrell is truly Santa Claus in heart and body.Darrell and Olga Baker are both Past Presidents of the American Pomeranian Club. Darrell is currently serving as Delegate to the American Kennel Club. Olga and Darrell Jeribeth Pomeranians are well-known for their many years of top winning Poms, including CH Great Elms Prince Charming II, winner of Best in Show at Westminster in 1988.APC Pomeranian Review - 77A PC National SpecialtyN2005 Louisville, KentuckyEvent ScheduleMonTuesWed, March 14-16 APC National Specialty Thursday, March 17 Mid Kentucky Kennel Club Friday, March 18 Louisville Kennel Club Saturday, March 19 Greater Louisville Training Club Saturday, March 19 Evansville Kennel Club, Inc.Sunday, March 20 Louisville Kennel Club, Inc.

Chani Kaibetoney is an Army wife who had wanted a Pomeranian from the first time she had met her best friends Pom in high school. With husband Larrys approval, she adopted Kelly. Her husband, who was stationed in Mosul, Iraq, for the year, had told her on the phone to remember that Kelly was her dog. He wanted a big dog when he returned home. Each morning, Kellys previous owner who also happened to be Chanis best friend received phone calls about her and what cute thing she had done the evening before and how Kelly was fitting into her new home and routine very well. But a different type of a phone call came one morning. There had been a bombing in Iraq.SPC Larry Kaibetoney awoke to see a soldier lying next to him with a wound to his head. Larrys first thought was to help his comrade, but he quickly realized his injuries were very serious and he could not move. Larry had been standing in line for lunch at the mess hall when a suicide bomber attacked just 8 feet away. Larry was MEDAVACd to Germany and finally back to Ft. Lewis, WA. A few weeks later, he received a purple heart and was released from the hospital, with yet a long recovery and many surgeries in his future. But he was thankful to be alive and glad to be able to go home.Larry came home and met Kelly and said she was alright for a little dog. Chani went back to work and would come home to care for her wounded husband. Many times found Kelly on the couch cuddled next to the soldier who only wanted a big dog. Each week after asking how he liked Kelly he would say she was alright. Chani came home one day and found the sight in the picture above. Larry was finally willing to admit that the dog was more than just alright. Kelly hasnt left Larrys side since he has been home. She always brings a smile to his face when she gets excited and does her dance, as he says, when he comes in the house. She has become the best therapy Larry has had since the bombing, and it looks like little Kelly has found her permanent lap in life, LiAPC Pomeranian Review - 79MYFIRST POMCovYs\i 5025KI was 12 years old and had owned a Cocker Spaniel and a Boxer. At the time, however, I was petless and was dragging home any stray dog I could find. Unbeknownst to me, my father had been observing my futile efforts and decided it was time to bring an end to my petless situation.Christmas was coming, and my father decided a new puppy would be the perfect gift for me. The search was on. He contacted a breeder and made an appointment for him and my brother to look at Poodles. When they arrived, they were greeted for the first time in their lives by several cute little balls of fur known as Pomeranians. The rest of the story is history.My first Pom was a little orange boy named Corky, who weighed in at three and one-half pounds full-grown. He was smart, sassy and beautiful. Corky went with me everywhere I went. He was entered in the annual pet parade every summer and would usually win the prize for the best- groomed dog, thanks to my dad. Corky provided our family with love, joy and laughter for 14 years.So began my love affair with Pomeranians that continues today.I want to say thank you to my dad for giving me my first Pom. I inherited my love of dogs from you and hold you totally responsible for my Pomeranian addiction. Much gratitude goes to my mom, gone but not forgotten, who liked dogs all right but loved Corky and all of my future Poms because she loved me.Thanks also to the Pomeranian Review for asking me to write this article.80 - APC Pomersotsn ReviewChampion Pomeraniansa icn i ipiui i runic. 4ta7.tM\FRANSUft WOLFIE-APIXIE POM EXOTICS TO LOVEANDREA HUGHES EVELYN NEWYEARP.O.
