Showcase flot Topic in 2006.611gn Takayama - VJntagsz Pomeranians- Vintagehawaiiyahoo.eom -WVM ---------------- ------I--------------- I------------------ I Letters te the EditerI would like to thank you and your staff for providing copies of the Pomeranian Review magazines and the American Pomeranian Club for the permission to use the club flyer information that I requested with such a short notice.The club that Pat and I belong to, the Great Lakes Toy Club of Southeastern Michigan, signed on to man a booth at a Family Pet Expo. It required our members to volunteer their time to talk and present information to the public on our specific breeds and general toy dog questions. The first rule about this fair was that no dogs or any other pets could be sold at the expo. We were there only to educate and provide information. Pets that were on display ranged from most all AKC breeds, cats, birds, fish, snakes, alpacas and nearly every type of farm animal. The expo also featured rally type demonstrations, pet parades, a petting area for farm animals and numerous vendors of supplies, clothing and pet food. It occupied over 40,000 square feet of exposition floor space and drew a large cross-section of pet owners and potential pet owners over the three-day show.When we were asked specifically about our Poms we had the APC flyer to hand out and if they showed a sincere interest we had the Pomeranian Review to show them. Some people just asked iftheir children could pet the Poms we had brought along while others wanted to know specifics about care and products that we could recommend. Both days that we were there we had a black puppy and a sable adult and we were surprised that many of the people that we talked to did not realize the Poms came in colors other than orange and cream. With the magazine we were able to show them different colors and types of Poms.It was an interesting experience and armed with this exposure we, as a club and individuals, will have a better idea of how to set-up our booth and provide a better presentation package. The atmosphere is significantly different than at a dog show where you are there for a different purpose. We are looking forward to participating next year when will have more time to prepare.Thank you for your support. Fred Pat DieballThanks so much for doing the ad Tuffys memorial. It really was lovelythe photo of Tuffy was beautiful and the text was great too. It couldnt have been nicer. I just really appreciate you all doing that.

And my hearty congratulations to those winners. It is an honor to be even an entrant to either.But now, you will either be packed up ready to attend the National or waiting to hear a friends first hand account. And what sets this event apart is that it offers for your pleasure Poms, Poms, and even more Poms. A lot of people work very hard to make this the exciting, fun and educational event that it is. And even if we applied a shoehorn to the three-day schedule, we couldnt pack all the activities we wanted into it. It is hard to believe it wasnt that long ago the National wasnt even a three-day event. It is also difficult to understand that seeds for the plans for 2007 need to be planted right now.Good in depth projects need time to organize properly. Now that the APCs new website has been launched, it will continue to grow. And the Pomeranian Charitable Trust will be developing its own web contact and information. You are aware that the PCT has the capability to assist financially with health research, but we also can develop it to assist rescue financially. Presently the Trustees need to work out guidelines in order to do so. The PCT web page will list contributors and those people and Poms that are honored. A donation can be directed toward a specific project you wish to have it applied to Pom health and research, education, or rescue. All areas affect Pomeranian welfare in one way or another.Ive personally tried out another good way to both help out all Poms and honor that very special Pom in my life. Have you had the problem of putting a fair price tag on a very special retired Pom I think it is easier to assess a fair market value for our available puppies, be they either going into a pet home or the show ring. And high prices for great show specimens and breeding individuals can be expected and justified. But what about that special retiree That one that was glorious in the ring or brood box, but now deserves all the special, quiet loving attention of being an only child. What is a fair price when it the right loving home that is the only way you would consider parting with him or her The Pom and the correct retirement are pricelessI have thought of a way that can honor this individual dog and yet stay reasonable for the person opening up their heart to this special Pom. Allow the new prospective owner to make a reasonable offer within their price range. And at that time explain that whatever amount you both agree on, half will be donated to the PCT in this dogs honor. That Pom has already contributed to the breed, but this would be a gift from himher that keeps on giving. This thought might make it easier for you to let go of the special one that has already made your life that much more fulfilled.Besides having fun at this Pizzazz Pom Party National, the APC will be listening to your ideas of what you would like the Club to do in its future projects.

After seeing my first show Pomeranian, I fell in love with the breed and never expected such a small dog to play such a big part of my life. In search of a pet for my stepdaughter, we found the San Diego Pomeranian Specialty listed in the newspaper and decided to go and see the dogs. I was handed a puppy to socialize while his owner was in the ring and I was smitten it was love at first sight At the time, I had no idea of how involved I would become and how much it would impact my life.At that point, I had shown and bred Arabian horses for years. When I walked onto the grounds of the specialty, it felt familiar and I was surprised and pleased to learn all of the similarities of showing dogs and horses. I soon began my pursuit of finding a show dog. Unlike horses where people are thrilled to sell a showprospect, I learned this was not an easy task, with many unanswered phone calls and months of frustration. I slowly developed friendships in the breed until one day I finally got a phone call that there might be a show dog available. I was elated.My background in art has been invaluable for seeing and understanding the subtleties of structure, type and conformation in both Arabs and Poms. I went to Art College majoring in fine art and illustration. I have worked as a fashion illustrator, a graphic designer and as a commercial printing sales representative. Most recently, I have been at a publisher who specializes in fine art prints for museums. I still draw and paint for my own pleasure, but have yet to put a Pomeranian on canvas, although I see that in the future.I joined the local City Of Angels Pomeranian Club as soon as I started showing. I feel that it is very important to be involved and believe we need to give back to the fancy as much as we enjoy the shows. Most recently, I was very honored to be elected to the Board of Directors of the APC.My first show Pom was Jamie, Can CH Sharians Jamison from Carolyn Brady. Less than a year after I got Jamie, Cande Gordon Freeman, at the time took a break from showing and sold me her dogs, who became the foundation and the first champions of Showcase. Walker, BISS CH Pominique N Nobles Dark Vader, a BISA BISS CH Finchs He Walks On Water son, and his sister Brooke CH Pominique Talking Waters are behind just about all of our dogs. The dam of these dogs, CH SunMarchAprh,2006 APC Pomeranian Review - 33Dots Galactic Dream, ROM went back to Ruth Dotsons Sun-Dot line. Ruth produced generations of Best In Show dogs and was known for her extreme type and beautiful heads. Unfortunately, her dogs are almost impossible to find anymore.To this foundation, I brought in new dogs that had qualities I wanted to add to my program. CH Starfires Show Me The Huny, HOF was a wonderful addition to the program and he produced some lovely girls for us. We loved the movement that Travis BISABISS CH Finchs He Walks On Water produced in his get and so we bred to Travis several times. Thanks, always, to Diane Finch for allowing us to use Travis in his senior years.I was looking for a new boy to add to our program when at the National Specialty in 2003 I spoke to David and Carlene Gilstrap about CH Mountain Crest JJ and asked about the possibility of his visiting the West Coast. They agreed and JJ came to California a few months later and, less than a week after he landed, he was shown at the San Diego Pom Specialty where he went Best In Specialty. From that auspicious start, he went on to sire several champions for me and for my friends as well, and his sons became the next step for us. JJ proved to be a wonderful nick with the girls here and his sons are also siring well.I met one of my favorite dogs at the 2001 National Specialty. Professional handler Curtiss Smith came up with a young dog in huge coat and said, You need to bring this dog back to California. After taking one look, I agreed. However, since the parting words from my husband before I left for Kentucky were, Dont come back with any new dogs, I had him shipped directly to Curtiss, where he started his show career. This little dog started to exceed everyones expectations and life was going to start to get interesting. This dog was, of course, Ricky BISABISS Sirius Its All About Me. He started winning group placements from the classes and won back to back group firsts to finish his championship and became CH SiriusIts All About Me in a matter of weeks. When it became apparent that this dog could go far, Curtiss looked for someone special to campaign him and found Bonnie Bird, who did just that.Over the next few years, Ricky won the National Specialty, the Summer Regional National Specialty, was ranked as the No. 1 Pom in all-breed points for two years, and won 29 Bests In Shows. I retained breeding for the lifetime of the dog however, I did not have any puppies from him while he was campaigning. Since then, I have bred to him a number of times and his first Showcase son, CH Showcase Got To Be Me just finished with a group placement from the classes and multiple Best of Breeds over specials, following in his fathers footsteps.My handler Curtiss Smith has been a mentor, my best critic and, most importantly, a friend. Curtiss looks at the dogs with a trained eye for conformation and has moved me forward in the breed by teaching me to evaluate each and every dog against the standard. He evaluates the overall dog, not just by pieces, which many of us breeders tend to do. Curtiss is a coowner of several of my girls and together we have bred three Champions with several more co-bred dogs waiting in the wings.This year we are lucky to have Ron and Merlyn Smith and Derrick and Deronda Sharp as co-owners of our very special boy, AMCANMEXFCl Inti CH Showcase Hot Topic, known as Ozzie around the house. Ozzie finished his championship as a puppy and then went to Canada where Deena Simon put a Canadian Championship on him and then to Mexico where Michelle Paulin-Brown put a Mexican and FCI International Championship on him. Most recently he showed for one weekend in Thailand and is half way to his Thai Championship.Linda Lewis will be specialing Ozzies litter brother, Ch Showcase Just Rewards with Joanne Reed in Northern California and Celeste Solano will be specialing CH Showcase Got To Be Me, a Ricky son. Diane Luett will be showing ShowcaseCatch Me If You Can and Carla Lohuis- Smeehuijzen of Holland will be showing Showcase I Put A Spell On You. We are so excited to have so many dogs out showing and we wish everyone the best of luck with their Showcase kids. The local exhibitors have become great friends who we love to see at the shows. Karen Betz, Gina Bush, Tish and Orville Cannon, Geneva Coats, Marge Conway, Tammee and Dan Felix, Karen Huntsberger, Donna Johnson, Lindsey and Lori Kamrath, Cheri McDonald, Leesa Molina, Lana Price, Kay and Reed Adams, Linda Pelz formerly of California, Derrick and Deronda Sharp, Ron and Merilyn Smith.When I breed, I have a vision of the dog I would like to produce and actively work toward that goal by using my dogs and incorporating new dogs whose traits I would like to see in my program. I think of my breeding program as a work in progress and try to think not only of this breeding but what I will do with the offspring. I believe that dogs cannot compete at the upper levels unless they are sound, clean-moving dogs, so I am always looking for ways to improve what I have.I bring in a dog who has traits I am looking for and hope that it will mesh well with what I have. Sometimes it has worked out well and sometimes the results are not quite as expected. Using that strategy, we have bred or co-bred 10 Champions and finished an additional three who were not of our breeding over the past eight years.As breeders, I feel our greatest challenge is to combine conformation with health. For this reason, I have been actively health testing my dogs for patellas, hearts, eyes CERF and thyroid. I use the OFA forms for consistency and I have seen a marked improvement in patellas since I started to check for them. I would recommend that everyone start with the puppies as a base line and then OFA again at a year so the results can be submitted. While there are many things that we cannot test for, these we can, so it is only common sense to test for those issues.Like most of us, I have had cases of the coat loss problem and have been activeraising funding for research. My dogs have participated in several studies to determine the cause of the coat loss and are currently in the University of Tennessee study by Dr. Frank, which I hope will bring us one step closer to a solution for the problem. Also by sending blood samples of affected dogs and relatives to the University of Missouri study to find a DNA marker, I hope that we can contribute to a possibility of a DNA test to determine affected status early before they lose coat and to determine carrier status.As for the living accommodations for my dogs, they all live in the house. Most of my Poms have the run of a larger play room and I am adding a large, covered outdoor run so that can come and go out as they please. The males live in the kitchen, while the family room is for babies and weaned puppies that are too small to go with the bigger dogs. All of my dogs get rotated into the living room on weekends for one-on-one time and my husband plays constantly with the puppies. His title is Director of Puppy Socialization, and I will always be grateful for his support and his help with the dogs.I would like to extend my thanks to the Review for honoring me with a Kennel visit. Also, thanks to David and Carlene Gilstrap for allowing JJ to visit Showcase and sire some exceptional puppies to Diane Finch, for whelping a Travis litter for me when I became suddenly ill and for allowing me to breed to Travis during the last few years to Cande Gordon, for the start of our breeding program to Carolyn Berry, for my first show dog to Nina Fetter, for entrusting me with Ricky to Becky Sabourin, for her support and sound advice and for always just being there to Shalon Parrott, for her friendship to Tammee Felix for being a good friend and to Celeste Solano, for being such a good sounding board.Pomeranians have become so much a part of my life, I cannot image living without them.Show Case Kennel Visit Continued.1 r_ -. ^ BISSCffP5MONIQUE N NOBLES DARK VADER, WALKERCH STARFIRES SHOW ME THE HUNY, POOHMarchApril 2006 APC Pomeranian Review - 35CAN CH SHAR^N-S JAMISON1 JAM1 ne- St firCH SHOWCASE WALKING AFTER DARK, ROXANNECH SHOWCASE SLICK OPERATOR, SLICKch Showcase charmed i m sure, charmKENNY AS A PUPPYDYV-tfITY-, 3'A ' -CH POMINQUE TALKINGBRO- y3vi CLWATER, AMCANMEXFCI INTL CH SHOWCASE \ SROOKE HOT TOPIC, OZZIE AS A PUPPY g33JV VArx'j'-... _____ '- --- 36- MarchApril 2006 APC Pomeranian ReviewCoruyrXtedrteOYW terAlcings LevLribohncendtheShowcase Pamrrarilcereycmy over herenet vCCt.3ettwtihy cend contineted ^eiooe^y.Cander Mdce GordonPonvCnlquePowercemxweySfSan^yuUufcitUmA to trvtj. piienS,eAiinxdvrim Ui, iccmuef \lioAZ.

Corrections need to be submitted with a copy of the corrected AKC Championship Certificate to awardsamericanpomeranianclub.org by January 15, 2007.MarchApril 2006 APC Pomeranian Review - 55eneticsMANAGING FLEAS WITHOUT POISONSMost of us have resorted to using commercial flea control products at one time or another. These products can present significant hazards. They are pesticides poisons which are intended to kill living organisms. Many pesticides affect a broad range of living things. For example, organophosphate and carbamatecompounds two classes of pesticides commonly used for flea control act on the nervous systems of insects and mammals in the same manner. When you use these chemicals, you can affect not only fleas, but your pet and yourself as well.If you think you or your pet has been adversely affected by a pet product containing pesticides, call your regional poison control center for immediate help and report the incident to the EPAs National Pesticide Telecommunications Network at 800-858-7378.Most pesticides are neurotoxic, meaning that they cause the nervous system to malfunction, thereby causing death. About 23 of available pesticides function in this manner. Flea products have also caused reproductive problems in laboratory tests. About half of the available products are classified as carcinogens by the EPA, while one-fourth is known to cause genetic damage in at least one test. Almost all pesticides have environmental concerns.Per pound of weight, small dogs breathe more air, drink more water, and eat more food than larger dogs. In addition, young puppies are more sensitive than adults, because they are growing and some of their organs are still developing. A lesser amount of toxic material per pound can poison a young puppy or small dog very quickly.There are several ways for chemicals to enter the body. They may be inhaled, and enter the bloodstream through the lungs. They may be ingested by mouth, and enter through the gastrointestinal tract. They may also be absorbed through the skin with direct contact.The good new is, that by understanding the fleas life cycle and targeting your management activities, an effective and least-toxic flea control program is possible. Fleas go through four stages of development egg, larva, pupa and adult. Warm, moist conditions 65-80 degrees F and 70 relative humidity are optimal for flea hatching and development. A female can lay up to 800 eggs in her lifetime. Eggs are laid both on and off the pet. Those laid on the pet later fall off and accumulate on the floor, in cracks, on furniture, and in dust. The eggs hatch within two to twelve days into wormlike larvae. The larval stage generally lasts one to three weeks, but can exist up to 200 days. The larvae then spin a cocoon and transform into pupae. Pupae remain dormant until they detect a host by warmth and vibrations and hatch out as adults. The pupal stage lasts from one to two weeks under favorable conditions but can extend to nearly a year. After emerging the adult fleas immediately seek a blood meal. Adults can live one to two months without a meal and can survive seven to eight months with just one meal. So, as you can see, when conditions of heat and humidity are favorable, fleas can emerge from seemingly out of nowhere to torture your pet. In addition to causing discomfort and skin lesions from allergic reactions and scratching, fleas can transmit tapeworm and bacterial infections.Vigilance and preventive techniques allow most pet owners to keep flea populations under control without using poisons. An effective program for control must address the flea at all four stages of development. Vacuuming areas your pet frequents, bathing your pet, washing pet bedding, and combing for fleas can effectively keep your flea population at a tolerable level.Fleas tend to accumulate where pets sleep. Try to establish a single, regular sleeping place with bedding that is easily removable and washable. Wash bedding about once a week to break up the flea life cycle. Pick up the bedding by the four comers so that eggs and larvae arent scattered throughout the area.Keep your lawn cut short and either very dry or very wet. Fleas dont do well in either extreme. Bathing your pet is an effective control measure. It is not necessary to use insecticidal shampoos, most soaps kill fleas. Use a comb to remove fleas from your dog. Keep a container of soapy water nearby to drown the fleas. Dish soap works well. Dont crush fleas with your fingers since they carry parasites and disease organisms.Vacuuming floors, carpets, furniture, crevices and cracks once a week is an excellent means of controlling the flea population. Vacuuming is especially effective at picking up adults and eggs. The vibration from vacuuming can result in the emergence of adult fleas from the pupal stage. The newly hatched fleas are vacuumed up prior to ever meeting you or your pet. Steam carpet cleaning kills fleas in the adult and larval stages. However, the steam can trigger the hatching of the remaining flea eggs a few days later. Vacuuming religiously will take care of most of the newly hatched fleas. Vacuum more frequently if the flea population increases, every two to three days during the peak season. After vacuuming, the bag must be dealt with immediately or the fleas will escape and reinfest the area.BIOLOGICAL FLEA CONTROLPredatory nematodes that prey on flea larvae and pupae as they are developing in soil are available commercially. The nematodes are mixed with water and watered in to lawns to reduce outdoor flea populations. Nematodes are available from Gardens Alive 812-537-8650 www.gardensalive.com. Gardens Alive is a wonderful source for environmentally friendly, nontoxic home and garden products. Another good company with information related to flea control on their website is Planet Natural, www.planetnatural.com.LESS TOXIC ALTERNATIVES TO PESTICIDESDesiccating dusts, such as diatomaceous earth and silica aero gels, kill fleas by drying them out, causing the insect to lose moisture and eventually die. Always wear goggles and a dust mask during application to avoid breathing in desiccating dusts. Cover or remove equipment that can be damaged by dust. People with respiratory problems should not use diatomaceous earth. Be sure not to use glassified diatomaceous earth manufactured for use in swimming pool filters, it causes the lung disease silicosis.Some pest control companies are advertising a natural flea control through use of boric acid another desiccant material in cracks and crevices.Diatomaceous earth or silica aero gel can be applied to pets and their bedding. Both are desiccating agents. Work in using a brush or broom. Vacuum afterwards to remove loose dust.Use of brewers yeast tablets make your dog less attractive to fleas, as the smell is excreted through the skin. Adding a spoon of apple cider vinegar to the water bowl will make the skin more acidic and unpleasant to fleas. You can also use a 5050 dilution in a spray bottle and dampen the coat with the solution.Insect growth regulators are not pesticides, but rather chemicals that arrest the growth and development of young fleas. These include methoprene, fenoxycarb and pyriproxyfen and the popular lufenuron Program. Alternatives also include newer pesticide products sprayed or spotted onto pets, such as fipronil Frontline or imidacloprid Advantage. Particularly when used in combination with physical measures, the safety and effectiveness of these newer chemical products makes the continued use of pet products containing Organophosphates and their attendant risks for humans and pets alike unnecessary.You can make your own nontoxic flea repellents with some natural aromatherapy ingredients.

Coatclosetmsn.com.OBEDIENCEAN ALMOST LOST VENUE - PART 2Hope all of you have enjoyed Part 1 so much, that you ran right out, grabbed your Poms, and immediately started your training regiment. Now, your Pom is all trained, and you are so motivated to start showing, you can barely sit still. But, hang on, now. Where do you go from hereWHAT DO I DO FIRSTThe utmost, not to be ignored, simply must do, I cant stress it enough, very, very, very, most important thing to do first is to acquire an AKC rule book for Obedience Trials. This can be acquired by either contacting the AKC and ordering one, or by stopping by the Superintendent or an AKC booth at a show where there are usually copies available. In this book are the complete listings of all the exercises for a particular level and class type and how they are judged, rules on what classes you can and cannot enter, and guidelines on what you can, cannot, should, or should not do while you are in the ring being judged. This is a very important element in AKC competition, and EVERYONE, I mean, EVERYONE, no matter what venue you choose to compete in, be it obedience, agility, rally, tracking, field trials, and yes, even conformation should have one. Folks, when you send in your entry, your signature at the bottom means you have READ the rules and are ready to abide by them when you enter the ring. So, get the book I guarantee you cannot get by without one.OK. GOT THE BOOK. READ IT. NOW WHATLets start with the levels and classes. There are three basic levels in the world of obedience. Novice, Open and Utility, and titles must be earned in that order. The Novice class is compared to the grade school level. Classes are basic, containing Heel on Leash, Figure 8, Heel Free no leash, recall, and a group Sit and Down Stay exercise with handlers in the ring. The Open class is compared to the high school level. Along with a Heel Free, there is a Drop on Recall, where a dog must he down on handlers command while executing the Recall, a 20 foot Retrieve, and a Retrieve over a high jump, a Broad jump exercise, and more extensive Sit Stay and Down Stay exercises with handlers out of sight. The Utility level is the most difficult with much distance work involved. The Signal exercise requires the dog to execute heeling, plus a Down, Sit, and Recall, from 30 feet done with handler giving no verbal commands. Only signals. The Scent exercise requires the dog to retrieve two different articles, scented by the owner, from 20 feet away, and from a pile of eight other articles, scented by the steward. There is a directed retrieve exercise, where the dog must from his handlers side in the center of the ring retrieve the glove indicated by his handler from 3 placed 20 feet away. This is hard as the dog, with his back turned to the gloves, does not see them being placed. There is a Moving Stand where the handler must stand the dog, while heeling, by voice and signal only and continue moving another 10-12 feet, turn and face the dog, and after the judges examination, must call the dog to Finish which is returning to the handlers left side. The last exercise is Directed Jumping where the handler sends his dog 40 feet out between two jumps set 20 feet apart, commands the dog to turn and sit facing the handler and then take whichever jump the handler signals followed with a recall. This level is compared to a PhD and only about 10 of dogs will compete this level. This is extremely difficult for a toy dog where, because of their diminutive size, the ring and distances must seem twice or even three times the size as to a bigger dog.For each level, in order to receive a title, Dog AND handler must achieve what is known as a qualifying score. Each exercise has a total number of points allotted and each team must receive at least 50 of the points for each exercise plus an overall score of 170 out of200 the various points of each exercise will always total 200 in order to attain this qualifying score. Three qualifying scores at three different trials under three different judges will signify a title for that level. The team can then move on to the next level. The three different titles are the Companion Dog, or CD title for the Novice level, Companion Dog Excellent or CDX for the Open level and the Utility Dog or UD title for Utility. There are also two more titles a dog can earn, which can be compared to graduate classes. These are the UDX or Utility Dog Excellent title where a dog must qualify in the Open AND the Utility class 10 times at ten different trials. After that, you can still keep competing and for each time you earn 10 more UDX legs a qualifying score is known as a leg toward a title your title will be UDX2, UDX3, and so on and so forth. The last title is known as Obedience Trial Champion or OTCH and is based on points and placings earned from the Open and Utility classes. This is extremely hard to obtain especially here in the Midwest where the competition is the most intense of the U.S. The numbers of Poms earning these two advanced titles are less than 10 for the UDX and only 4 or 5 for the OTCH. There also has never been a Pom with both the CH and OTCH titles. Any takersWHAT CLASSES DO I ENTER AND WHYThere are two types of classes. A and B. The A classes are for dogs working toward that particular title. After a dog earns the title from the A classes, it may continue showing in that A class for 60 days. After that it may continue to compete in that class at the B level. Once you earn a title on a dog, you cannot ever compete in the Novice A class again. However, future dogs can be entered in the Open and Utility A classes provided they have not earned three qualifying scores, or have not exceeded the 60-day limit after earning their title for that class. In Novice B, however, you can only continue to compete in this class until you earn a qualifying score in the Open class or obtain a High in Trial after the 60-day limit. During the 60-day limit, you can earn an unlimited number of High in Trials. A High in Trial is awarded to58 - MarchApeil 2006 APC Pomeranian ReviewPOMERANIAN REVIEW STUD ISSUE MAYJUNE 2006TITLE AND REGISTERED NAMExxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx aAURJcxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxA6i6V.,KENNEL NAME CONTACT INFORMATIONXX X XXX X XXX X X X X X X X X XX X GXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxpkSxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSHORT DESCRIPTIONthe dog with the highest score of all the scores for that particular trial Once a High in Trial is achieved after that 60 day limit, that dog may no longer compete in the Novice B class. A dog may compete indefinitely in the Open and Utility B classes. Once you have your three qualifying scores to earn a particular title, you can move- up to the next level after the closing date for a particular trial has been passed, the same as moving up to specials class once you obtain a dogs CH. Move-ups may be approved, provided the next level class and judge are available and the class has not reached its limit.Once your dog earns its UD, he can continue to compete in the Open B and Utility B classes to obtain two further titlesOTCH - Obedience Trial Champion In order to obtain this title, the dog must earn 100 points, plus a first place from Utility B, with at least three dogs competing, a first place from Open B, with at lease six dogs competing, and an additional first place from either class under stated conditions. All first places must be under three different judges and only one of these first places may be obtained at a Specialty show. Points are based on the number of dogs competing in the class, as in conformation, the higher the number of dogs competing, the higher the number of points available. However, unlike conformation, points are awarded for first through forth place, depending on the entry, and the scale of points remain the same for all the states, except Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico where the Utility class differs for points.UDX - Utility Dog Excellent Qualifying scores from BOTH the Open B and Utility B classes at the SAME trial constitute a leg toward the UDX title. Ten legs will earn you the UDX title.No matter how many titles you want to earn or whether you want to earn that title with a score, just to qualify, or shoot for one high enough for a placing or even High in Trial is up to you. However as in the conformation ring, or any other venue, the wonderful relationships we achieve with our Poms, the everlasting friendships with fellow exhibitors, and the extreme fun of going to Dog Shows far exceed the highest number of points or titles earned.In the next issue we will go inside the obedience ring. We will go through an actual pattern and see what you should or should not do in the ring, where you will lose points, what the judge looks for and how he or she will judge your performance. You will see how you end up with the score you do and what constitutes a qualifying or non-qualifying score. I will also answer any questions you may have.

Each view will show different structural strengths andor weaknesses.n. 'Lfw.1Re' illW-4 A -MA correct rear assembly when viewed from directly behind the dog.Because a Pomeranian often has pants, heavy feathering on the backs of the legs, it will be difficult to properly assess the rear without actually feeling the legs. When viewing from the rear from behind, the hocks should be straight and parallel. They should not turn in cow hocked nor turn out barrel hocked. The legs should stand wide enough to form a good base of support for the body while giving an appearance of balance. The hocks should be short in comparison to the stifle bone and the upper thigh bones. Short hocks allow an animal to trot for an extended period of time without tiring.MarchApril 2006 APC Pomeranian Review - 61A Closer Look Continued. Vi wrtut.iAn example of cow hocks.

Too much or to little bend will create movement problems by upsetting the required balance with the front assembly. A dog with too much bend of stifle may compensate in many ways depending on certain variables. He may side wind or crab in an effort to keep his front out of the way of his over-reaching rear. The animal with too straight a stifle will usually move in a more stilted, less fluid movement which untypical of the Pomeranian.I_An over-angulated rear.

The last one was held in Tampa, Florida. For the next five years, California will be the host for this occasion.This year the Meet-The-Breeds-Booths were held on the lower floor of the Tampa Convention Center. Some Breed Booths were very elaborate. Others were simple, but imparted the message needed to give the General Public the idea of what then- breed was. Our Pomeranian booth imparted the later.The theme of our Pom booth was A FITTLE DOG WITH A BIG HEART. I was the Chairman in charge of this project and was not able to set the booth up by myself because of a recent surgery. I had many Pom People help with the set-up. I truly thank those who gave of their time and talent.The Pomeranian Club of Central Indiana brought their quilt made from the theme of various Specialty shows throughout the country. One of these show emblems was from Canada. This was our background. Several chances on the quilt were sold at the booth. Chances will continue to be sold until the drawing at our March APC Specialty in Fouisville, Kentucky. Proceeds will benefit our APC Health Foundation.We had hand outs on the Pomeranian breed, Pom, and Toy Breed Magazines for distribution. Several people became new subscribers of the Pomeranian Review right there at the booth. Thank you, Brenda Segelken. Many thanks, also to the others who helped set up the booth, brought their dogs, and talked Poms with the booth visitors.

Thanks to all who wrote special articles for the performance issuethey made great reading And the wonderful ads showed our Poms in action, which is always a joy.AKC NATIONAL AGILITY CHAMPIONSHIPSGail Donaldson and April, a.k.a. Turbo Pom, took 4th place in the 12 class at the AKC National Agility Championships in Tampa Florida in January. April is a rescue and is Gails first Agility dog. Gail also trains in Obedience. Gail and Aprils coach, Cindy Brick, says that April is very outgoing and happy to meet and greet everyone.On Saturday, Gail says, We ran Standardfirst and her lines were incredibly tight. We ran clean and took 9'h place. First place was 3302 our time was 3547. Jumpers with Weaves was much better. We took 2ndplace with a time of2583. The placements were very closeIs' place was 2552, and 3rdplace was 2584. So even hundredths of a second LITERALLY count For us it meant the difference between 2nd and 3rd place.After the two rounds, they combined your score and time to rank you. By the end of Saturday, we were ranked fourth. We had to run clean in round three on Sunday to make the final round. They took the top 13 dogs from the 12 class. So as long as we ran clean and stayed in the top 13, we would make the final round, and we did. It was a nice course with some tight handling and a place to really run. We finished in 9'h place with a time of3459 Is' place was 3186. That put us into 5'h place over all, enough to get us into the final round.That final round was very intense. You would not believe all the people and the lights. Lots and lots of lights There were cameras mounted on the floor next to the obstacles. I was worried I was going to step on one while doing a front cross. Another was mounted on the floor right on the other side of the tire. I hoped April wouldnt stop to check it outFinally it was my turn. The AKC rep told me while I was waiting to go in that she would tell me when to get on line and when to go. Well, in one ear and out the other I got the get on line part right. Once I got there, I set up April, took her leash off, scratched her under the chin and Im sure most of you know what happened after that. She started barking and barking. I looked around totally lost and forgot what I was supposed to do. I looked at the score board, saw my number and went. Oops I didnt hear a thing, but apparently they were sounding a horn at me66 - MarchApril 2006 APC Pomeranian ReviewJrto stop through the first 7 obstacles. Do you suppose I heard anything NO I kept running and running and running some more. We finished the course and I had no clue what my time was, or anyone else s for that matter I came off the course frantically looking for my leash to get out of there But I was held up at the finish line by Gail Storm, as they had to check to see if I had beaten the fastest course time to put me in the hot seat. The team with the fastest course time in that height class sits in a special chair at the end of the course until their time is beaten by another team. So for one run we got to sit in the hot seat. I still had no clue what had happenedthe TV crew hadnt been ready for me to goWe ended up in 4'h place in the 12 class. Over all, you could say we took 4,h place to 174 dogs. Not too badWe came home with a huge trophy, a 4"1 place rosette, a ribbon sash for April, a rosette for making it into the final round, a rosette for 2nd place in the class for JWW round 2, three qualifying ribbons, and a 50 gift certificate from J J Dog supplies. POMERANIAN FOOTBALLTeresa Connors writes that her Agility club has an Agility League in the fall and winter. Its like bowling league, but we do agility instead. You are on teams of four and the lowest score is dropped. We have a substitute list so if someone cant make it one day, someone else fills in. The top ten teams get a prize at the annual banquet.Each week you do one Standard agility run and one game. One of the games is called Partners. Each person does a piece of the course. You take turns, and each time you trade off, you get more points. Each obstacle has a point value, and you have to do the course in order. When you walk the course with your partner, you plan how to get to the next point while they are running their section. I usually just pick up my Pom, tuck it under my arm, and sprint like a quarterback to the next point. All the big dog people think it is quite hysterical, that fluffy tail bouncing under my arm as I try to beat my Border Collie teammate to the next trade off point.Last week I had to substitute for my sister on her team. I took both my Poms, Minot and Moody, instead of one of her dogs. I also had to take my 6-year-old nephew, and I forgot to bring a crate. My nephew was coached that it was his job to make sure Moody stayed tied up while I ran Minot on the Standard run. Moody doesn 7 really like this 6-year-old very much, so halfway into the run with Minot, Moody slipped his collar and came charging out onto the course. Minot was running beautifully, so I just scooped up the Moodster, tucked him under my arm, and continued running the course without a pause. You should have heard the laughter People were rolling on the floor laughing as I continued to direct Minot -with a Pommy Football under my arm TITLES, WE GOT TITLESAMERICAN KENNEL CLUBCompanion DogFinchs Whirling Dervish CD RN, 102205, Paula KerezsiRise N Shine Christmas Wish CD, 10805, Julie ClementsRally NoviceAspen Songs Rescued Nordic Luv CD RN, 102905, Erika Wilson, ILPBacco Torres CD RN, 103005, Nanette TorresCH Canefyres Tater Tot RN, 102205, Shari Fukuyama, Laurella Pang Lynn Kamiya Courbette Encore Summer Song CD RN, 102905, Erika Wilson Hallie RN AX AXJ, 10105, Suzanne Record, ILP LiT Buddy Budster RN, 102905, Kathy Knuckles Mtn.View Casino Lady Of Vegas RN, 102305, Helen Brinn New Moons Aurora Borealis RN, 10205, Amanda Reichelt Nina RN, 102905, Darla Hook, ILPPrincess Wiggles Vonsnifsnif RN, 101405, Lisa Sheffield, ILP Sassy Girl Sheffield UD RN, 101505, Lisa Sheffield Jennifer Gitter and BagelClemments Little Abu CD RN OANAP OAJ NJP, 11505, Karen R.

If I see retained teeth at 6 months I will give the puppy a fresh raw beef rib to chew on three times a week. I have found that the combination of tearing the meat off the bone and gnawing on it for an hour or two helps to loosen many if not all of the retained teeth. If there are still retained teeth at 8 months of age and I feel that they may cause misalignment of the adult teeth I will have them pulled. The exception to this would be when a puppy is extra small, under stress or in any way less hardy than I think he should be. In these cases I wait until I feel certain all is well. I would much rather risk having a couple of teeth out of alignment than gamble on loosing my puppy. Cindy BoulwareAt the age of six to seven month the puppy teeth will be removed to prevent bad bite. SusannI wait until the adult canines poke through, as puppy canines are the ones that usually have to be pulled. I dont want to have them under anesthesia twice. Usually they are about 6 months old. LindaI usually pull baby teeth around 5-6 months old but it depends on the dog. Lots of times I have to wait on the canines, but do the anterior teeth as soon as I see there may be a problem with crowding. BobiiI waited until I saw the permanent teeth come in, and then left it up to the vet. They were removed around 612 month old. ErikaI dont wait if I see that the bite is going off. The earliest Ive pulled puppy teeth is at five months yes, thats early. If the bite is correct and in no danger of going crooked or undershot I usually wait until I start showing the dog. MarieI prefer to wait until 6 months. My vet wont put them under anesthetic until then. JaneI personally pull baby teeth when the adult teeth buds are visible. The rest when the adult buds appear even if it is another trip or two back to the vet. For exceptional cases, see my article below. There has been a good reception to that teeth article because so few of us knew what to do. Im not a vet but I did get this information from a canine dental expert. DianeI pull the baby teeth once the adult teeth start to bud this is usually between 6-8 months. I also wait for the canines to start to bud before I pull the baby canines, and that usually happens around 8 months. The molars I check on frequently and pull them as they loosen and the adult molars are emerging. This stops them from having that really bad breath or being stressed when teething. If the teeth are just dangling I will pull them out with hemostats but if they wont budge I take them in and have the vet do it. LauraI watch the teeth closely and do not have a set age when I have them pulled. I usually wait until I see a second row, then rush to the vets to have them pulled. Recently, I was told that if they are good chewers the teeth would loosen and come out on their own. I recently tried this with meaty raw meat bones on two puppies. I suspected problems with one of the puppys teeth and had been monitoring them closely. Sure enough, the teeth became loose enough for me to get them out with my fingers. Of course it is too72 - MarchApril 2006 APC Pomeranian Reviewsoon to see if this works for all dogs. The other puppy also lost all of the puppy teeth with no problem. I am now trying it with a third puppy. DebI wait, hoping they will come out on their own. I have had one who did shed all puppy teeth without intervention. By about the age of 9 months they were gone. Id say if they arent out by 7-8 months have them pulled. This could be done at the same time as spayneuter. For a show prospect you would probably want to consider having it done earlier, before 6 months. I dont believe that leaving the puppy teeth throws off the bite. I have observed that the permanent teeth come in behind the primaries. I have never had a bite go off due to retained puppy teeth, but have only been in Poms a couple of years. I suppose it could happen. GenevaI usually wait until they are 7 or 8 months old. Im in no rush to put them under anesthesia. If they can get the teeth out by themselves lots of chew toys, frozen carrots so much the better. MargaretSeems like all puppies are different and it just depends on the development of their mouth, their size and how the bite looks. If the canines arent out by six months I usually pull them around that time. I usually get the others out before then if needed. JanineIt is not so much an age as how the teeth are growing in. If the new teeth have started breaking through and the old ones are either in front or back without budging then it is off to the vet for teeth pulling. HeatherI usually wait until all four canines are poking through the gums. Sometimes the other baby teeth are still in as well. If there is no evidence that the baby canines are going to come out by themselves, then in they go to have their teeth pulled. This is usually about six or seven months of age. If you wait any longer, the adult teeth will not move forward and in place, as they should. I have always used this method and have ended up with good scissor bites. On another note, I never allow my vet to use pre-anesthesia sedation on my Poms. I insist that they just be masked down to prevent any anesthesia complications. Of course, the vet should be using isofluorine for anesthesia. PaulineWe wait until the majority of puppy teeth have come in. If they start coming in weird then we would go to a very knowledgeable vet and have the baby teeth pulled so that they wont cause any problems. We have heard of people going to vets with baby teeth to have them pulled and when the puppy was picked up they had pulled two adult teeth. Some times the vets are in a hurry and dont double check. This was a vet in our area that does a lot of dogs and has a huge business. The vet we go to will not pull a tooth if he is not sure if it is a baby tooth or an adult tooth that is only partially in. Also, there is always a discussion if pulling or not pulling teeth helps correct a slight bite problem. Our vet doesnt feel in the long run that it will make any difference. That is something up for discussion. KayWe just had our little show females teeth pulled Jan 5th. The vet we used is very good and has a specialized degree in dentistry of animals. I felt very confident about the procedure after he talked to me and told me everything that would be done. We had started looking into pulling baby teeth back in early December but he recommended we wait till at least the canine teeth had come in to see if the baby canines needed to come out. Cassie had 6 teeth removed 2 top incisors, 2 top canines, 1 bottom incisor, and a jaw tooth, all of which were puppy teeth. He said that all the other teeth came out perfectly fine on their own. The same vet called me after everything was done and told me how things went and even called the next day to check on Cassie. Check with the vet about the time teeth should start to come out. I check the teeth each day to see if any has come out or are loose enough to come out right then. Any teeth that seem very hard or resistant to coming out I let my vet know and he does a check up once again when canines come in. Then I go from there. AngelaI am relatively new to showing so no expert but here is what my vet and I do As the puppys adult teeth start to come in, I watch the bite. I dont pull teeth until the permanent teeth have pearled through the gums. Once the canines emerge and the bite looks good, my vet checks and out they come. Pulling too soon presents problems as much as leaving a double row and not giving the adult canines room to shift into place. LindaI watch the teethbite close at the 5 to 6 12 month old age. I rub the baby teeth and try to wiggle them loose and hope to not have to put them under anesthetic for teeth removal. I usually can wiggle loose all but the K-9s. If they are still there at 6 12 month I have the vet to remove them. The K-9s are hard to remove and if one does not know how to do it might break the jaw.

STATE ZIPPHONE NUMBEREMAIL ADDRESSHave a wonderful New Year 2006Westminster Kennel Club ContinuedXXrn MlfV\\MaechApril 2006 APC Pomeranian Review - 79POMERANIAN STANDARDThe 1997 Official Standard for the Pomeranian. Approved December 9, 1996, Effective January 31, 1997 General AppearanceThe Pomeranian is a compact, short-backed, active toy dog. He has a soft, dense undercoat with a profuse harsh-textured outer coat. His heavily plumed tail is set high and lies flat on his back. He is alert in character, exhibits intelligence in expression, is buoyant in deportment, and is inquisitive by nature. The Pomeranian is cocky, commanding, and animated as he gaits. He is sound in composition and action.Size, Proportion, SubstanceThe average size of the Pomeranian is from 3 to 7 pounds, with the ideal weight for the show specimen being 4 to 6 pounds. Any dog over or under the limits is objectionable. However, overall quality is to be favored over size. The distance from the point of shoulder to the point of buttocks is slightly shorter than from the highest point of the withers to the ground. The distance from the brisket to the ground is half the height at the withers. He is medium-boned, and the length of his legs is in proportion to a well-balanced frame. When examined, he feels sturdy.HeadThe head is in balance with the body. The muzzle is rather short, straight, fine, free of lippiness and never snipey. His expression is alert and may be referred to as fox-like. The skull is closed. The top of the skull is slightly rounded, but not domed. When viewed from the front and side, one sees small ears, which are mounted high and carried erect. To form a wedge, visualize a line from the tip of the nose ascending through the center of the eyes and the tip of the ears. The eyes are dark, bright, medium in size and almond-shaped. They are set well into the skull on either side of a well-pronounced stop. The pigmentation is black on the nose and eye rims except self-colored in brown, beaver, and blue dogs. The teeth meet in a scissors bite. One tooth out of alignment is acceptable. Major Faults Round, domed skull under-shot mouth overshot mouth.Neck, Topline, BodyThe neck is short with its base set well into the shoulders to allow the head to be carried high. The back is short with a level topline. The body is compact and well ribbed with brisket reaching the elbow. The plumed tail is one of the characteristics of the breed, and lays flat and straight on the back.ForequartersThe Pomeranian has sufficient layback of shoulders to carry the neck and head proud and high. The shoulders and legs are moderately muscled. The length of the shoulder blade and upper arm are equal. The forelegs are straight and parallel to each other. Height from elbows to withers approximately equals height from ground to elbow. The pasterns are straight and strong. The feet are well arched, compact, and turn neither in nor out. He stands well up on his toes. Dewclaws may be removed. Major Faults Down in pasterns.HindquartersThe angulation of the hindquarters balances that of the forequarters. The buttocks are well behind the set of the tail. The thighs are moderately muscled with stifles that are moderately bent and clearly defined. The hocks are perpendicular to the ground and the legs are straight and parallel to each other. The feet are well arched, compact, and turn neither in nor out. He stands well up on his toes. Dewclaws, if any on the hind legs may be removed. Major Faults Cow hocks or lack of soundness in hind legs or stifles.GaitThe Pomeranians gait is smooth, free, balanced and vigorous. He has good reach in his forequarters and strong drive with his hindquarters. Each rear leg moves in line with the foreleg on the same side. To achieve balance, his legs converge slightly inward toward a centerline beneath his body. The rear and front legs are thrown neither in nor out. The topline remains level, and his overall balance and outline are maintained.CoatA Pomeranian is noted for its double coat. The undercoat is soft and dense. The outer-coat is long, straight, glistening and harsh in texture. A thick undercoat will hold up and permit the guard hair to stand off from the Pomeranians body. The coat is abundant from the neck and fore part of shoulders and chest, forming a frill, which extends over the shoulders and chest. The head and leg coat is tightly packed and shorter in length than that of the body. The forequarters are well feathered to the hock. The tail is profusely covered with long, harsh, spreading straight hair. Trimming for neatness and a clean outline is permissible. Major Faults Soft, flat or open coat.ColorAll colors, patterns, and variations there-of are allowed and must be judged on an equal basis. Patterns Black and Tan - tan or rust sharply defined, appearing above each eye and on muzzle, throat, and fore chest, on all legs and feet and below the tail. The richer the tan the more desirable Brindle - the base color is gold, red, or orange-brindled with strong black cross stripes Parti-color is white with any other color distributed in patches with a white blaze preferred on the head. Classifications The Open Classes at specialty shows may be divided by color as follows Open Red, Orange, Cream, and Sable Open Black, Brown, and Blue Open Any Other Color, Pattern, or Variation.TemperamentThe Pomeranian is an extrovert, exhibiting great intelligence and a vivacious spirit, making him a great companion dog as well as a competitive show dog.Even though a Toy dog, the Pomeranian must be subject to the same requirements of soundness and structure prescribed for all breeds, and any deviation from the ideal described in the standard should be penalized to the extent of the deviation.American Pomeranian Club, Inc.APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP Please type or print clearly5^J^NO TICE Except for patrons, applications must be endorsed by TWO members in good standing a who ha ve' been APC members for two 2years or more b who have known the applicant two 2years or more c who do not reside in the same household d who are not related to each other or to the applicant.
