J Lmt VClub Business Section^Pwsidmts MessageA New Year is dawning and as we look forward to the future in 2010, we look back at what we have accomplished in 2009. The new Board of Directors took their seats just a short year ago with the promise of the membership having a voice in running the club. A few of the changes we have seen are an expanded more complete Members Only website with unabridged minutes including motions and results of voting. It includes committee reports such as the treasurers report, updates on the standard revision committee, results of polls and results of elections so our membership can stay informed about what the club is doing. We have new concern about the health of our Pomeranians with our joining CHIC and have a health survey planned for the New Year. We now have a Yahoo list for members where any question to the Board of Directors is addressed and answered in a timely manner. Thank you to the Board of Directors for working so well together to accomplish so much in 2009. We arelooking forward to accomplishing so much more in the New Year.The Vomeranian Review has been completely revamped and the Board of Directors has worked hard to make this magazine a showcase of our breed that the members can be proud of. CeleAe Solano, acting editor of the Pomeranian Review has done a wonderful job of organizing and seamlessly transitioning the magazine into the New Year.Our National Specialty is fast approaching on March 15th to 17th at the Drawbridge Inn Fort Mitchell, KY. Pat Barnett, our Show Chair has been hard at work planning an eventful National and we hope to see all of you there. Our Trophy Chairs, Vickie Palmer, Deronda Sharp and Curtiss Smith have been working very hard on trophies and donations. Our Hospitality Chairs, Kelly Reimschiissel and David 8c Carlene Gilstrap are doing a fabulous job making our Specialty beautiful.

We can expect a continued onslaught into the future. The Humane Society of the US has a legislative fund and I'm betting this fund is rather fatThe HSUS public relations taCtic is to state that their legislative campaign goal is to stop puppy mills.' They neglect to mention that there are laws already on the books to accomplish that goal, as well as may states with puppy lemon laws" that keep abuses at bay.These laws criminalize honest people and wont be effective to stop the actual bad guys". Gang members aren't going to line up to get their fighting dogs neutered. Honest breeders often cant meet the stringent requirements. They become afraid for their own dogs and breed less, or stop breeding altogether, but those who hide their illegal dogs will continue on, affected by any new laws.Do you wonder if perhaps all these newly- proposed laws might be good for dogs Excessive fees, fines and regulations result in increased shelter intakes and higher euthanasia rates. This effect is well-proven in all areas of the nation.Intrusive, extensive and expensive regulations limit the ability of most hobbyists to comply. Noncompliance can result in having your animals seized.Animal Rightists are tracking our websites. In California we have found that the State Board of Equalization has accessed various breed club websites to harangue breeders in our state about compliance with collecting state sales tax. Please be cautious about listing available puppies andbirthdates on your websites....it's not safe. Firstly, criminals have been known to pose as buyers and then return later to steal the dogs. Animal rights extremists have also been known to enter homes under the ruse of looking for a puppy, only to turn in the breeder to animal control after a head count is done. 4-6 month old puppies are usually considered adults, and counted as such.A MN law proposed last year required steam cleaned surfaces for homes. No dogs on carpet or wooden decks. Only cement. Whelping room required a floor drain. These are commercial requirements which are basically impossible in homes without separate kennel buildings. Your dogs could be confiscated in an unannounced inspection for being on a porous surface....carpet.The puppies would be sold the next day at a shelter, aspects of breeding and ownership are being criminalized, seizures are becoming more frequentWhere will the dogs of the future come fromWith hobby breeders less active, prices of dogs will likely increase. Excessive government fees and building requirements will make it so only the very rich, and profitable commercial breeders, will be able to afford to continue to breed. In many areas, animal control departments are taken over by breeder-hating animal rights activists. Some cities are refusing to issue any intact permits... even though they could be legally allowed. Perhaps we will soon see laws proposing that vets must see proof of ownership, registration, licensing, permanent ID etc, before they can treat a dogThis year over half the states had anti breeder bills. Some of the proposed laws, state by state...all with a goal of eliminating owning and breeding of animals.AL - 6 month old dogs spayedneuteredAR - limit of 12 dogs allowed. Warrantless searches CA - new crime of owning an intact dog- if over 50 , you must spayneutereuthanize.Seizure of property and distribution to private animal rights groups without waiting for proof of charges.CO - limit of 25 intact animals over 6 months.AR language replaces owner with custodian CT - provisions on how dogs sold in pet stores can be raised DE - HSUS - no profitable breeding allowed- limit of 25 animals FL limit of 50 animals - engineering standards impossible for homes if over 10 dogs aged over 4 months.FL - all catsdogs over 4 months old spay neuter with few exceptions HI - facility requirementsrestrictions etc.IA - state infections ofUSDA kennelsIL - 3 or more dogs is a commercial kennel - steam cleaning standards impossible for homes - 20 dog limit - seizures allowed IN - Pet dealer if you sell 5 animalsyr.

Fines 2500 year in jail or both.Some have passed, some were defeated. The defeated laws will undoubtedly be back in the next legislative session.If we are not vocal....we will lose our rights to dogs. And we need to watch all levels of government, up to and including the Federal level. The appointment of Cass Sunstein, an avowed Animal Rights activist, as an important advisor to the President, is a devastating blow with ominous overtones for the future.Please notify the APC legislative Action Committee of onerous legislation in your area... awareness is the first step to solving a problemMembershipAn oral report was submitted by Judy Green, Chair.

County hearing October 28 regarding a proposal to phase out all breeding in kennels in that area within the next five years. Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed AB241 cap on numbers of intact dogscats that anyone may own, also vetoed AB 243 fines for animal offenses including prohibiting ownership of animals for a period of many years and the Governor also vetoed AB 1122 prohibits sales of animals in public venues. Thankfully our Gover- nator listened to our concerns about these HSUS- sponsored bills. SB 250, the statewide mandatory sterilization bill, was withdrawn and may be reintroduced in the next session. Action group We the People for Pets is sponsoring anti-HSUS rallies this week in San Francisco and Los Angeles at fund-raising appearances in those cities by HSUS president Wayne Pacelle. You may remember the We The People group for their genius idea of bringing Lassie to the state capitol to help defeat the mandatory sterilization bill, AB 1634. Massachusetts is advancing a bill that would make debarking illegal. This bill includes proposed huge penalties for veterinarians who perform debark procedures. Our committee is available to provide information and a letter of opposition if and when the members from that state request assistance with defeating this bill.

Cheri McDonald is no exception. Cheri has been subscription manager for the last 5 years, taking care of our subscription list and making sure everyone knows when they need to renew. Cheri is expecting her first child in April so will be resigning in February and we all wish her well. I asked Cheri some questions and heres what she had to say1. How long have you been in PomsI got my first Pom in 1991 and bred my first litter in 1994.2. How long have you been an APC memberIve been an APC member since 20013. How long have you worked with the Review and in what capacityI became the Subscription Manager in early 20044. What made you volunteer for this position with the RevewI noticed there was a need since the previous person who held the position was wanting to step down and I thought it would be a good way to help the APC since I knew I had the skills needed for the job.5. What was the toughest part of your jobThe toughest part of the job is getting calls at 4 am from people wanting to subscribe or wondering where their magazine is. Thankfully it doesnt happen very often.6. What was the easiest andor most pleasurable part of your jobThe nicest thing is when newsubscribers write who are excited when their first issue arrives.7. Anything else you would like to add re your tenure on the Review.Ive made some very close friendships because of my work as subscription manager and as Im about to leave the position soon I'll always look back at the time I've served with fond memories.skesiv 'Wcffiorva-idWorking as our Advertising Managero o ois Becky Jackson. Becky has taken on the daunting task of APC Treasurer and is finding that it takes up more time than she ever thought We wish her well as Treasurer but we have no doubt that she'll succeed at that as she has with everything else shes done.Well so long, everyone. That is Good- Bye in Southern. As the outgoing Ad Manager for the Pomeranian Review I must say I have had the best time e-mailing, meeting and getting to know all the advertisers and now friends from every part of the world. I have worked for the Review for a very short time compared to all the other volunteers who have worked very hard and long to make the Magazine something that every member and subscriber can be proud of. Being part of the Pom Review team has been an honor and let me thank everyone for the ads they have placed with me and the fun I had helping you get the ad you wanted. This job has allowed me to meet some of the finest Breeders and get to know some of the best Kennels and their dogs. What could be betterMost everyone knows me, I started showing and breeding Poms about 8 years ago with the experienced help ofCarlene and David Gilstrap, falling in love with the Breed from the very beginning, which was a long time ago. But that will be a secretLane, Julie and I can be seen almost every week-end at a dog show trying to finish a Springwood Pomeranian watching everything in the ring to be sure we are breeding the very best we can, hoping we will breed that really Special One. Springwood works hard to breed that sound, healthy, beautiful show dog, with Julie making sure they are well socialized.Another staff will be coming soon to make the Review yet even more beautiful and lovely. The new team will have the great honor to serve the American Pomeranian Club publishing this wonderful magazine. It is my wish that everyone will support the Pomeranian Review as this is the Magazine that represents our beloved breed and unites our Club. Good luck to all the new Review volunteers.Another Staff member we would like to thank is Kathy Norem who has been our Business Card Manager. Unfortunately, Kathy didn't comment for this article. We thank her for her years of service and wish her well in all her future endeavors.The resignation of the editor has opened up an opportunity for the Club to take the Pomeranian Review in another direction.

Finch^eaM Qe^etlcs Committee QlpdateHealth and Genetics - Research into Alopecia XWe are a very fortunate to have several research Universities working on the Pomeranian health issue, Alopecia X. While we do not have any answers yet, great strides are being made.Dr. Tosso Leeb's DNA study of Alopecia X at the University of Bern, Switzerland states that he has located a relatively small region of the Pomeranian Dog genome where he believes the causal mutation for Alopecia X is located. Ifthis is accurate, it means that Alopecia X is primarily caused by a single mutation and not several genetic risk factors. They have not yet pinpointed the exact causal mutation and he believes that it is an unknown gene which makes the search a little more difficult. Optimistically, there could be a test available in the next year or possibly a little longer depending on how the further experiments proceed.Dr. Linda Frank from University of Tennessee has applied for funding to do a study about coat loss dogs after thefirst of the year. She will be needing 10 dogs with Alopecia X, preferably neutered with thyroid and Cushings ruled out. Dogs selected for the study will need to visit her and her staff monthly for 5 visits so they would preferably be close to University of Tennessee or willing to travel there on a monthly basis.Alane Levinsohn, Chairperson Health and GeneticsPomeranian ReviewVCompanion Svents cJieuis uW QAewsBy Barbara McClatcheyA Title On Both EndsThere is a saying that A well-balanced dog has a title on both ends. I looked at our titled Pomeranians this time around and saw four dual-titled Poms, all owned by APC members CH Janesas Wanna Play Jax CD RA, owned by Jean Kroll Lily Mummert CH Finch s Walkin N Talkin RA, owned by Jayne Hoemke CH Carleez Front Page News MX MXJ, owned by Janice George Smith and CH MACH2 Carleez Boom Boom Boom, also owned by Janice George Smith. There are, of course, many other such dogs out there, but these are the ones who earned a Companion Events title during the months of September and October. It is efyiecially impressive to see two Poms with the same owners and the same breeder Carol Leemhuis who are well-balanced dogs. This says something for both the owners who put in the training necessary to progress so far in both Conformation and Agility, Obedience, or Rally, and for the breeders who produced dogs capable of doing it all. These dual-titled dogs have proved that they have beauty, structure, and brains.I asked Carol about her breeding program. She says that all three of the Champion Carleez poms Jan and George Smith have were over nine months of age when they were acquired. All had been socialized and had been to show grounds since puppyhood. They were very well traveled even as young puppies. Carol has been having all patellas checked on all of her dogs since she began in Poms herself. She has them checked at puppy checkupsJanuaryFebruary 2010and again before their first birthday. Sometime after the first birthday she has the OFA paperwork completed. Carol said she would prefer to breed all perfect 0 patellas, but in this breed it seems to be nearly impossible. Carol has also had hips x-rayed and OFA certified in boys that sire more than a few litters and girls that are successful having and raising litters. OFA Cardiac and CERF testing for eyes is also completed. All of the vet checks and certifications are very important, but in a breed with so many health problems engrained for so many years, Carol says that luck seems to be as important as anything else in having the resulting puppies physically healthy enough to compete for a long-term athletic career. In addition to the Agility Poms, there have also been several that have earned Obedience titles with their owners. She said trying to breed for good structure and good health, and making sure the puppies are well-socialized and well-traveled all seem to be important to the physical and mental health required for success in agility and obedience.Speaking of TitlesI asked recently on the Active Pomeranian Yahoo group list for which Poms might have the most titles.

BassettGreetings of the Holiday Season to all of our Pom community. This is a fun time of the year, and I hope that you are all enjoying it with your family and friends, and your Poms. This is a slow season of the year in regards to judges education. We have not had any Judges Education Seminar activity recently, and none are scheduled in the next couple of months. There is one major session coming up that is scheduled for the first week of February 2010. This is a Toy Group Institute sponsored by the Senior Conformation Judges Association ACEF - American Canine Education Foundation, and will be held in conjunction with the Atlantic Coast Classic Cluster of doe shows in Wildwood New Jersey. Poms are tentatively scheduled for Wednesdayfudges EducationFebruary 3rd. I will be presenting this seminar myself and look forward to the opportunity.I would like to share information in this article about a judging topic that I hope you will find useful. I have been asked a question following judging recently by a couple of exhibitors that usually goes along the lines of why didn't you like my dog today You gave her Winners Bitch a couple of months ago at xyz show. This question illustrates an unrealistic expectation that if a dog wins once under a judge that they will always put it up. Obviously if I put it up I liked the quality of the dog on that day, and in that competition. At another show the situation may be very different. I know this can be confusing to some exhibitors so I want to share some thoughts on why a dog might not do as well at another show.First of all the dogs in competition may be very different. Dogs that were not exhibited at the first show may be better quality in the judges opinion at the second show. The mix of competition makes a very big difference in the awards on any given day. This is the most prevalent reason for failing to win the second time.Secondly, the condition of the dogs and their behavior maybe different enough at the second show to affect the outcome. Even if the same dogs are in competition they can look substantially different depending on how they are groomed andtrimmed, and how well they are behaving. With Poms the trim can change the appearance in a major way, and over trimming will be faulted by many judges including me. If the decision was close at the first show and you have chosen to take more hair off your dog before the second show that could be a deciding point the second time. Maybe your dog had a good day the first time, and has decided at the second show not to move as freely, or not to use his ears. Any of a number of factors can make the difference in good quality competition.The handler showing the dog can also make a big difference in the way a dog looks. Owner handlers may have multiple entries and need to hand a dog off to a helper, or a professional handler doesn't make it to the ring and has to have an assistant show the dog. Again, if the competition is real close this can make a difference in the way a dog looks.All of this being said, I don't want to leave the impression that a good dog wont win without great showmanship. Speaking for myself I will tell you that if I can see a dog doing things right for a brief moment during judging I will put it up if I feel it is the best quality. Most other judges do this as well because we want to reward quality and breed type first and foremost.Until next time, enjoy the shows and enjoy your PomsSubscriptions 6 issues pet yeaiUSPS First Class........................... 45.00USPS Standard..............................37.00CanadaMexico............................55.00Foreign......................................... 100.00Single Issue....................................10.00Back Issues AvailableSubscription ManagerCheri McDonald, P.O.

What could the problem be and how can I best treat the coughWhile there are a number of conditions that could be causing your Pom to cough, the most common cause of coughing in dogs is Kennel Cough Infectious Tracheobronchitis.SymptomsDry, hacking or goose honking cough sometimes followed by vomiting.CauseExposure to a virus andor badteria, the most common being Parainfluenza virus and Bordetella bronchiseptica bacteria. Kennel cough is extremely contagious, and a high percentage of dogs will experience it during their lifetime.Parainfluenza virus generally causes mild symptoms that last for 10 days.Parainfluenza and Bordatella may appear together causing symptoms that last for up to 20 days.Canine distemper, canine adenovirus and canine respiratory coronavirus also cause kennel cough.Classical TreatmentIn healthy animals, kennel cough generally resolves itself without treatment.While your dog is experiencing symptoms, use a harness rather than acollar to avoid exacerbating tracheal inflammation.If your dogs symptoms are severe, or if he refuses to drink or eat, you should see your veterinarian. Young pups or immunocompromised animals may require antibiotics and possibly hospitalization.Complementary TreatmentA quality multi vitamin mineral supplement such as Pet Tabs Plus will help support your dog's immune system and help fyeed recovery.Herbal supplements such as PhytoBiotic and Echinacea help support the immune system reducing the severity and duration of symptoms.Anti-inflammatory supplements such as turmeric, ginger and fish oil can help reduce symptoms.High potency probiotics beneficial bacteria supplements can help keep pathogens in check, and support your dog s immune system.Respiratory essential oils such as Breathe Easy blend, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Pine can be diffused or diluted in vegetable oil or lotion and massaged on the chest to help reduce symptoms and support the immune system.Cypress essential oil in an excellent natural antitussive cough suppressant. Mix one drop into a tablespoon a canned food and feed 3 times per day or as needed.PreventionAvoid exposing young puppies to other dogs.OFeed premium food and avoid junk food.Avoid exposing your dog to extreme cold, heat or other stressors.Keep your dog's vaccinations current. While vaccinations won't completely protect your dog against kennel cough, they can reduce the severity and duration of the disease.Ask your veterinarian to check a fecal sample for worms twice per year. Wormsrob nutrients from your dog and weaken his immune system. If worms are present, you should treat your dog accordingly.Other Causes of CoughingIf your dog's cough does not resolve within 20 days, another condition such as collapsing trachea, congestive heart failure, distemper, allergies, or parasites may be to blame. Consult your veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.ResourcesBooksThe Nature of Animal Healing The Definitive Holistic Medicine Guide to Caringfor Your Dog and Cat by Dr. Martin Goldstein D.Y.M.Holistic Aromatherapy for Animals A Comprehensive Guide to the Use of Essential Oils Hydrosols with Animals by Kristen Leigh BellReasonably priced, reputable sources for pet vitamins and suppliesDrs.

Vn S. 0r"dAHiA,'MJanuaryFebruary 2010 35Teresa G. Whitefiiensong -Pometarn'cmsV AaBISS CH Evensongs Win For Z Gipper, AOMWhere does one begin a story when a person has lived for a smidgen over a half-century At the beginning when I was a small child and got bit by a Chihuahua In my pre-teen years when I was attacked by a German Shepard In my late teens when I fell in love with Irish Setters, or later in life when I was pushed into accepting a "small" Pomeranian as a pet for myself and my youngest daughterLet me start by saying that I disliked dogs of all breeds, especially small ones after the Chihuahua incident. For some reason, getting bit in the face by a Chihuahua was much worse then being scarred for life by a Shepard. Maybe, too, it was because I was so young when the episode with the Chihuahua occurred. Both occurrences, however, instilled in me a slight fear of dogs that was hard to overcome until I saw my first Irish Setter. Everything changed in my life following that first sighting. Dogs then ran a close second to horses, which were the love of my life for almost thirty years.With my own money I purchased my first Setter, Natasha of Irish Mist, CD, at the age of seventeen. I started with her in conformation thinking it would be a great way to bond with my doa. It didnt take Ions before I figured out that she was too smallo o ofor showing in the conformation ring, so we turned to obedience.O O'iI found a local class, and I worked with Natasha every single day. After finishing classes I entered my first obedience trial, and we placed second. Natasha finished her CD title quickly and placed in every trial, except one. That one was held next to a farm with chickens. I think you all can figure from here what she preferred to do. Yes, leave the ring to go check out the chickens. It was quite embarrassing.Natasha was my constant companion through a failed marriage and the birth of my first child. After losing her I didnt want another dog, but thats not what life had in store for me over the next eight years. Following an attempted house break-in by a stranger in the middle of the night, I decided getting a dog forprotection, or at least a dog that might dissuade an intruder was probably a good thing. So, what kind of dog did I pick You can probably guess... a German Shepard. It was time to put aside my fears and bite the bullet, so to Speak, and I did. Reyna was loyal and protective, and she made us feel safe. She lived for ten years until she had to be put to sleep after her hips gave out.After losing Reyna, my sister, who bred Pomeranians, insisted that I take one of her puppies. I resisted for quite some time because of my dislike for little dogs, but my youngest daughter, Jenna, wanted a puppy, so I finally gave in. Poms have now been a part of my life for the last twelve years. And I still have my first Pom. Her name is Baby shes a black and tan, and is twelve years young.It was my youngest daughter that pushed me into dating again, too, after being divorced for eight years. Without her telling me what I should do and not do - that must sound a little odd, but theres no better way to put it -1 would not be showing and raising Poms. I guess I can thank my youngest for a lot of things that have happened in my life over the past nine years.Following several events in my life including remarriage thanks to Jenna for pushing me into that first date, an early retirement from the Portland Waterfront where I had worked as a Longshoreman for 20 years, and a return to college for an Associates Degree, I decided I needed something different in my life. Returning to work was an option. I could certainly put my new degree to use, or maybe I just needed a new hobby.Both of my girls had participated in beauty pageants for the better part of 20 years, and I had been involved as a pageant mom, a contestant, and a director of my own system. However, when my girls started their own adult lives, I was ready for a change. I could have gone back to work and put that degree to use, but I was content with my small retirement pension and had no desire to return to work. I still dont, even though my husband thinks I should.After buying a second Pom, Susie, a blue and tan who was AKC registered, a small seed planted itself in my brain. I thought to myself, You know, I could show this dog." And as my mother later told me, We often return to our roots and what we love to do. So, it was back to showing, only with a different breed and in conformation.I showed Susie in an International show to get handling experience and to see if it was what I really wanted to do. The judges were nice and complimented my girl - maybe they felt sorry for me - but I think I was smart enough to realize that my Pom didn't look like the other Poms in the ring. Now, I could tell you that she is long, is flat coated, is undershot, and has big ears. The perfect pet, which she still isAfter two years of trial and error, and many hours of studying structure, learning the Pom standard, and joining my local36 Pomeranian Review7t tb jI KtiBISS CH LaRajus Palisades Van Gogh No. 6 Pomeranian 2005Pomeranian Club, I finished my first champion, LaRajus Palisades Van Gogh, CH Vinnie, in 2004. The following year I joined the APC, and I finished my first bitch, Finchs Chars Amazing Grace, CH Grace. Since then I've never looked back and have never doubted my decision to take on something new in my life.Several months after finishing Vinnie, I elected to fecial him. I started pedaling him in April of2005 and got him as far as No. 5. He finished the year at No. 6 and picked up a Best in Specialty show along the way. A fecial thanks to Mr. David Krogh for that honorOrBOSS CH Finchs Chars Amazing GraceVinnie also competed at Eukanuba in Florida, and I was pleased to make the cut with him. It was an exciting trip, albeit a more exciting trip coming back home. Bad weather in Texas made us miss our connecting flight, and an eight hour journey turned into 24 hours trying to get home. To top it off our luggage got lost. Thank goodness Vinnie flew with me in coach and not in cargo.My first attempt at breeding a show litter gave me two finished champions and one almost finished champion. This litter was sired by Vinnie and out of Beau James Whiter O Pearl Moon. CH Ronald - a cream sable - was the first to finish. He, JanuaryFebruary 2010too, went on to win a best in specialty show, and he qualified for Eukanuba from the bred-by class. He also qualified for EUK, as a fecial, by ending up in the top 25 with limited showing in 2008. Jen Clohessy, a young handler, showed him for me in Long Beach when I was unable to attend. He didnt win, or make the cut, but I heard he had his picture taken a lot, and it was fun to see him on television a couple of times.TBOSS CH Evensongs President Reagan, AOMRonald's litter brother, Reagan, was the second boy to finish with handler Jeff Nokes. I put his first major on him, but everyone that knows Reagan, knows that he loves me too much He thought showing was a game. He'd circle around me, jump on me, etc. With Jeff he was a perfect angel and finished in less than three months. I hadn't intended on showing Wilson, the third boy from the litter, as my husband wanted to show him however, my husband doesnt show much, so at the age of four, I took over showing Wilson. With very limited showing he needs two singles to finish. My husband and I call Wilson our old man, seeing that he will be the oldest of our Poms to finish.LV If wQkicSCH CR N Rodis Sapphires N GoldImMCH LaRajus Blame It On The Rain And because everyone asks why they have Presidential names...they were born on the day that President Reagan passed away. Reagan was my favorite president so it made for a perfect theme. Later it was fun going to shows with them at the same time and getting after them when theyd bark at the big dogs going by. People would look at me like I was a tad off when Id say, No bark, Ronald - Reagan.Since I started showing in 2003, Ive finished ten Poms with three more only needing singles to finish their championships and two others that are pointed. Finished champions to date include BISS CH LaRajus Palisades Van Gogh, Vinnie BOSS CH Finchs Chars Amazing Grace, Grace CH LaRajus Palisades Picasso, Petie Vinnie's litter brother BISS CH Evensongs Win N For Z Gipper, Ronald BOSS CH Evensong's President Reagan, Reagan CH CR N Rodi's Sapphires N Gold, Mouse CH LaRajus Blame It On The Rain, Milli CH Evensong's Little Deuce Coupe, Deuce CH LaRajus Paragons How D West Was Won, Howdy BOSS CH Evensongs Sugar Plum Fairy, Sugar BOSS CH Evensong's Barbara Ann, BarbieAll of these dogs, except for Vinnies litter brother, are either owned by me, or bred by me, and were finished by me, except for Reagan. And if my husband is Continued on page 3837fiilensong ^PometaMans Continued ftom page 37readme this, I have to include that he whelped Ronald while I was at a dog show. The litter came early, and I just made it home in time for the last two to be born, so Kevin says Ronald is his champion. He also doesnt let me forget that he put majors on Deuce and Wilson.r..iCH Evensongs Little Deuce CoupeMy second bitch to finish, CRN Rodi's Sapphires N Gold, CH Mouse, was bred by Celeste and Robert Solano, and Diana Solano. When I saw pictures posted of her on the Internet by Celeste, I knew that I wanted her. She's a beautiful blue and tan, with a show attitude to match. She finished her championship in 2007 with a five point major and has a blue sable girl showing now that just needs her majors to finish. Too bad there probably wont be any majors until April 2010, as we live in Oregon. Seventeen dogs and thirteen bitches for a three point major have been hard to come by this year. Traveling out of our division has definitely had its advantages this year with regard to picking up an extra four majors, but it isnt something I can do a lot of. With the economy the way it is, I hope that AKC will consider adjusting our point schedule here in the Pacific Northwest..iCH LaRajus Paragons How D West Was Won BOSS CH Evensongs Sugar Plum EairyOne of the things that attracted me to the Pomeranian breed was the variety in color. CH Mouse certainly was different in that a^jaect. Following her finish I once again made a decision to do something different - to finish Poms of different patterns and colors. I will always have orange Poms in the ring, but if you come ringside, you just might see a pointed chocolate boy, a chocolate and white parti boy, a parti-factored orange with white bitch that needs three singles to finish, and a beautiful little white bitch. That bitch, Ruffrydn' Biker Bunny, bred by Vicky and Steve Roarke of Ruffrydn Poms, just started showing and currently has four points, a reserve to a major, and several minor reserves. Talk about a crowd pleaser. Next up.. .a chocolate sable parti-factored bitch bred by Laurie Otis of Horizon Poms. Possibly in 2010, or 2011, a merle - that of course, depends on what the APC membership does when it comes time for a final vote on our standard. I really hate the thought of disqualifying any color or pattern, as the most important part of a Pom to me, is soundness and type.Vf _BOSS CH Evensongs Barbara Ann'AACH Evensongs Back In The Saddle Owned and Finished by Laurie Otis of Horizon PomsMy friends all know that I love a Pom with a little more leg, good reach and drive, a high head carriage, and a proper ear and tail set. I also love a lot of coat with a full, plumed tail I personally won't keep a Pom that isnt sound, and in my opinion, a sound dog with proper type shouldnt be penalized no matter what color or pattern it comes in. And as Ive said many times, if someone doesnt want merle in a breeding program, then dont breed it However, let those of us that enjoy striving to make something better a goal to work for and one that we can show off with pride in a ring. After all, we are supposed to be improving our breeding stock, and isnt that what the show ring was meant for To have our breeding stock judged Merles are here, and are here to stay, so let those of us who want to work with them be able to do so let us show what we have achieved in the ring. My stance on merle probably wont gain me some new friends, but we all have our differences of opinion, including those on politics and religion. Just ask one of my... 1 .Ruffrydn Biker Bunny Co-owned with Lori Solomon ofSo-Me Poms38 Pomeranian Reviewbest dog friends, and shell say, As long as we don't talk politics and stick to shopping and dog shows, we re good We agree to disagree.O1'r AnLogHome - Winter 2008Enough said on color, don't you think Getting back on track a bit, my husband and I moved in late 2008 to our dream home. Getting out of the suburbs was a must with the dogs, as we were pressed for room, so we purchased a log home on 10 acres in a dog-friendly county. The property came with a shop - for my husband to work on his hobby of restoring old cars - and an unfinished three car garage next to the house that is in the process of being turned into a dog" house. No need to call it a kennel, since I Send the majority of my free time with the dogs. Either that or I live in a kennel too.Three quarters of the garage is being finished for the dogs to live in. The inside will be finished with wood that will keep the rustic appeal of the log house and garage intact. The other one-quarter will be my grooming area complete with running water for doing dog laundry, a puppy area, computer corner, couch, etc...cm \HPPoms in the Snownice enough - almost - for me to live in.I have to say that living in the country has been wonderful. It's nice waking up tosee deer in the apple orchard, having fresh fish from our creek for dinner, playing with the dogs with lots of room for them to run, and just being able to go to bed with no traffic noise. The only problem we have had is coyotes. We have to watch the Poms, as we did have one that was attacked by a coyote, but she luckily managed to get away. To help combat this problem, my husband brought home a Golden Retriever who has matured enough to bark them away, but I doubt he'd fight them off if needed. I went an extra step and purchased an LGD, a large guardian dog that is part Great Pyrenees, Maremma, and Akbash. When he matures he will do more than bark away the coyotes, he will also protect that which is his. We, of course, hope that that kind of protection will never be needed.Before this kennel visit becomes a book, which I could write if I had more time, I'll finish with a few thanks. Its hard, though, to know where to start since I've met and become friends with so many people. Maybe starting with my departed grandmother would be a good place, as she -Althea Burk - was my inspiration when it came time to pick a kennel name. I was literally stumped, because nothing appealed to me, and I wanted a kennel name that was personal - without using my own name. As I so often do, it came to me one day when I was thinking about my grandparents.My grandmother was a very religious person who passed away during Holy Week. She was someone that I could talk to and someone I could trust with my life. Her free time in the evenings was often spent playing hymns on her organ. Provided my grandparents lived on the same piece of property that we did, I grew up hearing beautiful organ music. I think everyone on our small, dead-end road could hear it, and no one ever complained. Guess they must have liked it as much as I did. Grandma's organ playing led me to choose the kennel name, Evensong. Its present-day definition is that of a song sung in the evening. Not only was it different, but it was, and is, a perfect reminder of my grandma who I loved dearly.There are so many people that I've become friends with since I started showing Poms that I don't feel it would be fair to mention names without running a chance of leaving someone out. I can't dothat, so to all of my friends THANK YOU for your support, advice, fun dinners out on show weekends, etc., etc., etc. You all know who you areI would like to thank the Pom Review for asking me to do a kennel visit. I felt honored when asked. And I do want to thank my husband for all of his love and support when it comes to the dogs. He takes great care of the dogs when Im on the road showing, and hes always available to lend an ear or helping hand. Right now, he's busy working on the dog house, which is something that I could never do.LGD Puppy - GrissomAnd I still do get him in the show ring on occasion.There's no better way to finish a short story then by going back to the beginning. Remember that I was bit by a Chihuahua when I was a little girl Well, Ive decided that I want to show a second breed. It has taken me a while to figure out whichObreed, except that I knew it would be another toy dog. Sometimes we go full circle, and that is what has happened to me, as I chose a Chihuahua as my second breed to show. I don't plan at this time to breed them, just show. The breeding can be done by my friend Lori Solomon of So- Me Poms who is going to be my partner and the co-owner of any Chis we buy and show I think a new adventure has begun. There is always a sequel to a first book isn't thereI wish everyone a wonderful 2010 filled with many purple ribbonsTeresa White Evensong PomeraniansJanuaryFebruary 2010 39D reamweaver Po meramansK r\- 9jissIiiVARIETYGROUP PLACEMENT- 2CYPRESS CREEK KENNEL CLUB2009 ______copOhotoby- LUIS Pi985- A t"yW,' iKCH Dreamweavers Ring Of Fire X Royaltee N Dreamweavers Into The WestThis has been a great year for "Robin.

After all, the variety of coat colors is what attracted many fanciers to the breed in the first place.And luckily for companion dogs, color is of little consequence Pomeranians were never expected to blend in with their surroundings or be easily spotted from a distance. Throughout the century, breeders have taken advantage of this by creating exemplary specimens of the breed in a broad Spectrum of colors.The upcoming revision of the Pomeranian standard has given fanciers the opportunity to condone or condemn the plethora of colors and patterns, among other things, that are permissible in our current standard. The American Pomeranian Club should be proud that its members take such pride in their standardand their breedto want to make the most informed decision they can. For this reason, were presenting additional information on one of the most hotly debated topicsthe merle gene.What Is a "MerleAs stated in last issues article on the subject, merle is not actually a color but rather a pattern. The gene works on the base coat color reducing pigment in certain areas, causing patches of color in random placement.To put it simply, think of the merle gene as bleach and your dog's coat as a black jacket. If you splash bleach on the jacket, the deckles of bleach are visibly apparent and wash out the color randomlycreating a mottled, marbled, absolutely unique pattern in each individual dog. The merle pattern is most visible on a black or brown coat, creating the stunning color you'd see in Shetland Sheepdogs, Australian Shepherds, Corgis, and multiple other breeds.The merle gene sometimes affects eye92 As stated in last issues article on the subject, merle is not actually a color but rather a pattern. The gene works on the base coat color reducing pigment in certain areas, causing patches of color in random placement.color, creating a sky-blue eye or blue flecks in a brown eye. These merled blue eyes see and have CERFed normal.Blue GenesGenerally Sneaking, there are two ways for traits to be passed down dominant and recessive genes. A dominant gene is a single gene in a given pair that causes a trait or condition to be apparent. On the other hand, a recessive gene is a single gene in a given pair that needs a second recessive gene to express the trait or condition.For example In humans, the gene for brown eyes is dominant. If you carry the gene for brown eyes, you must have brown eyes you only carry the gene if you have brown eyes. The gene for blue eyes, though, is recessive. A brown-eyed person can carry the gene for blue eyes, but in order for blue eyes to be expressed, both parents must carry the blue-eyed gene two genes are needed for blue eyes to be expressed.In this case, the merle gene is an incomplete dominantbut for all intents and purposes, it acts like a dominant gene. Because of this, the only way to tell if a dog carries the gene is if the pattern is visibly apparent on the animal. Identified by a capital letter M,' a dog needs only one copy of this gene in a pair for the pattern to express itself Mm. The recessive gene for nonmerle is identified by a lowercase'm'in other words, a dog who carries two recessive genes for nonmerle mm will be solid-colored.Producing the PatternOne of the advantages of working with dominant genes is that only one dog needs to carry the gene for the trait to be produced. In addition, unlike the elusive recessive gene, dominant traits cannot behidden for several generations and, with the right match, appear unexpectedly.A merle can be produced a couple of ways. The safest, most acceptable way is by breeding a merle Mm to a solid mmthis breeding has a 50-percent chance of producing merle Mm offspring. The puppies who carry the merle geneas in, the merle pattern is visibly apparentare referred to as heterozygous merles. For the purposes of this article, we will refer to these as single merle, since only one M gene is present.Breeding a merle Mm to a merle Mm can increase the likelihood of merle offspring, but only by 25 percent. Puppies who inherit the merle M gene from both parents are referred to as homozygous merlesor, as commonly referred to, double merles MM. Because double merles inherit a "double dose of the gene, their already-diluted coat is lightened further.A Controversy ClarifiedMerle-to-merle breedingas with any other aspect of breeding dogs-has its risk. Cases of deafness andor blindness have been known to occur in doublemerle offspring However, this does not always occur. Dr. George M. Strain, professor of neuroscience at the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine, says, Many MMs are not mostly white and most do not have hearing or vision problemsthis is breed- specific. Please keep in mind that the defects that could possibly affect the double merle MM are color-linked and have no effect on the normal-colored offspring of that double merle.The potential health risks involved with double-merle breeding have caused much confusion, resulting inPomeranian Review^Dia^ JU joi JIMe Jtom pteutoug pagemisinformation about the gene. Many mistakenly believe that if these color- linked defects can occur, they will occurthis is simply not true.Additionally, many assume that all dogs who carry the merle genesingle or double merlesare somehow adversely affected by it. Dana Quinney, biologist and Sheltie breeder, says Colobomas, deafness, blindness, etc. do occur in the doubles, but they don't occur in dogs with the single merle gene and no other dilutors.An additional statement on the merle gene by C.A. Sharp, president of the Australian Shepherd Health Sc Genetics Institute, Inc., is available at www. merlepoms.org.Another common misconception is that the merle gene, when combined with piebald or spotting genes, can cause hearing defects in single merles. Dr. Strain rejects this statement as well It has notbeen shown that dogs with piebald are more likely to have problems with merle. According to Dr. Strain it has not been proven or disproved.Responsible Merle BreedingAvoiding the color-linked health defects of breeding merle is no different than avoiding any congenital health issue, selective and responsible breeding practices are the key.Most of the health issues associated with the merle gene can be avoided by only breeding single merles Mm to solids or non merlesmm.It is recommended to only breed merles- to the dark coat colors black or brown, with or without the tan pattern so that the merle pattern is most visibly apparent. The merle effect on lighter colors such as cream, orange, or sable can be seen at birth, but the mottling often fades and blends as the coat grows and matures. Thegoal of the merle breeder is to produce a very obvious coat pattern with a nice rich variation of colors.Please remember, any time you breed anything to anything, you run the risk of genetic abnormalities. That is just a fact of breeding. Does it mean we should stop breeding Of course not. It does mean that we as breeders need to make informed, intelligent, responsible choices in our breeding programs.Members of the American Pomeranian Club are fortunate to have a code of ethics that provides safe guidance on breeding the pattern. With education and an understanding of the gene, Pomeranian fanciers can enjoy safely breeding the stunning merle pattern.For additional information, articles, and photographs of merle Pomeranians, visit www.merlepoms.org.Balancing the homemade diet is essential...KNOW BETTERPET FOOD0'v'VaBetter in the Raw U-StewMake it easyProvide optimal nutrition for your pomeranian for less than 1 a day.Nurturing the Canine Companion To learn more about us please visit www .knowhetterpetfood.com toll free 1.866.922.6463Holistic Veterinarian Approved Made in USA CanadaCSf.
