Of course I always monitor my puppies carefully because I know the possibility does exist. I have observed stress reactions in my puppies such as diarrhea or a lowered appetite after vaccinations so i also always watch for that and make sure the pups are eating well and appear active after the vaccination.Because 1 have been having so many toy dog owners reporting allergic reactions in recent months and asking what they could do. I questioned my veterinarian to find out if she thought it is a good idea to take preventive measures to prevent a possible allergic reaction. She said that a very safe preventive measure is to give Benadryl Liquid 30 minutes before the vaccination. The recommended dosage is 0.5-1 mg 0.2 - 0.4cc per pound. 1 have tried this on my last couple of litters and have not noticed any adverse effects. I also checked with a number of Pom breeders who give a preventive dose of Benadryl before vaccinations, and they report very positive results from it.Our next question is What is a good weaning food to give to Pom puppiesYou may direct new questions or answers to these questions toAnnette Davis391 N Mink Creek Road Pocatello ID 83204 208-234-0932 FAX 208-234-0792 __________davisavalonpom.com__________Membership Reportby Annette Davis 391 N Mink Creek Rd.Pocatello, ID 83204 208-234-0932 davisavalonpom.comLetters other than those from sponsors commenting on the applicants whose names are published in the Review, are to go to Julie Kallbacka, 3703 Hancock Rd., Magna, UT 84044.

As you know, the magazines hiatus was necessary due to the previous editors precipitous departure and the Boards desire to find the right editor. We appreciate the efforts of those who applied to be editor and we appreciate the patience of subscribers in waiting for the publication of the magazine to resume. Rest assured that your subscription will be extended by our very capable CirculationThe board is thrilled to welcome Brenda Segelken as editor of Pomeranian Review and hope she will serve in this capacity for many years. She undertakes this project with a lot of skill and enthusiasm. The Board looks on this as a rebirth of a magazine that is unique, Pom Review Was first published in magazine form in 1958, so it is the original and oldest Pom magazine. In addition, to providing thought-provoking articles and beautiful pictures of our Poms, it is the official voice of the American Pomeranian Club. It is how the Board communicates with APC members and the Pom fancy at large. This is where you find out what motions the Board has passed, who has applied for membership, or where the next summer specialty will be helcPom Review is essential tock out the newthe Review and it needs you.

If you are not a member of APC, contact Membership Chairman Amto vote on thoseYour Board has had several other challenges to deal with in its first halately after the election Donna Lynn Wright resigned as Recording Secretary, citing other responsibilities, and Julie Kallbacka was kind enough to take over promptly those duties. Dave Dahlenburg got a new job, which necessitated working out of state and commit to Mississippi. Although he tried, he found he couldnt carry out the Treasurers duties efficiently and was forced to resign. Lucky us, Erika Moureau has stepped up and taken over as14 - Pomeranian Review - SeftOct 2001Treasurer with knowledge, skill, and energy. Because of the lack of a smooth transition from one treasurer to the next, the roster has been delayed. I hope you have received it by the time youre reading this. I promise the roster will come out in a more timely fashion next year.The biggest Pomeranian specialty ever, held in Louisville KY in March, is now history and we are eagerly planning for 2002 there. The Board voted to make it a 3 day event, and Show Chair Jim Shearer and Show Secretary Cindy Boulware are negotiating with the hotel so we can have a fim-filled time.As I write this, I am looking forward to attending the summer specialty hosted by the La Cajun Pomeranian Club in New Orleans. I know, as we read this, we will be basking in the glow of warm memories. Make your plans now to attend the winter specialty in Louisville in March 2002 and the summer specialty in Des Moines in September 2002.A committee has been appointed to review our By-Laws and consider changes, notably a allow for associate members.

C.Down Carolina way, just within the city 'limits of the little town of Pine- vine, N. C., the Great Elms Kennels, home of beautiful pomeranians, overlooks a main highway going South. At the kennels, there is a full acre of ground for exercise. And, in case of bad weather, there is a wire, 35-ft porch where dogs can he trained or exercised.The owner of this kennel is one of the nicest persons Ive ever metMrs. Ruth Lowry Beam. Ruth, loved by all who know her, and with her sincere interest in all who are trying to breed better poms, is truly a person one values as a friend. She is fair in her dealings with others and her kind understanding and cheerful encouragement make many nov. ice breeders into enthusiastic exhibitors.Great Elms Kennels offers at stud three great champions. Ch. Great Elms Little Timstopper. Timmy, is sire of 12 champions, the latest being Ch. Scotts Little Top Man. Ch. Great Elms Timsun, son of Timmy, has 17 BB and 5 group firsts to his credit. And finally, there is Ch. Great Elms Sir Richard. There are also champion matrons producing champions. Other matrons are of championship caliber. One, Dixielands day Linda, is the answer to a breeders prayer. Bred first when 10 months old, she has since never failed to have puppies when bred and has produced five championsWhen a matron is sent to Mrs. Beam for breeding, she meets her in a matter of minutes after arrival in Charlotte, N. C. All visiting matrons are kept in the house and receive special attention to prevent homesickness. After two, and sometimes three, breedings, the poms are returned to their owners by the shortest possible route.Mrs. Beam started with poms in 1937, using as a background Aristic and Dixieland breeding. She has, herself,.

Rider. Tt was under her banners that he was first shownand he started his show career with a hang, too.Sparkys first show was the annual specialty of the San Diego Pomeranian Club held on Saturday, IS February, 19136. The judge was Mrs. Elva U. Cohen of Golden Glow Poms. Heading the list of entries under puppy dogs, fl months and under 8, was pom number 37, Sparky. Before the day was over. Sparky was Wil over 11 others. Among them were at least four who luter Iks eurnc champions and big winners in their own right, including Sparky's sire. -Mrs. Cohen also placed pom number 37 B\V and BOS to Anna Lu Fortunes Ch. blcho of Waverly.Reflecting hack on that day when she put up such a young one over the many excellent specimens which turned out that Saumlay in 1956 ut Balboa Park, Mrs. Cohen writesHe had the style, good gait, flashy showmanship that I love in a pom. lfc caught my eye that day and 1 loved him. I saw him then as u great future winner. Yes, 1 gave him a 5 pt. win at his first show and I am proud of him ns a great little dog to represent the pomsWell, -Mrs. Cohen did not get Sparky, hut she did buy his sire and finished him, topping the group with him twice.But now to events uf the next day.

Word on this comes from Mrs. Porter Washington, the owner of Sparky ever since this memorable Sunday. Mrs. Porter Washington, with her husband, owns and runs Flakkce Kennels, ilfl Duheny Rd., Beverly Hills, Calif. Mrs. Washington says that for years she had wanted a pom, while raising Kncshonds large poms for 12 years. She says furtherMy husband gave Sparky to me for my birthday . . . Bert Heath saw him r the San Diego show, ami telephoned U. to ask if I still wanted a pom. He said he had just .seen the greatest pom. seven months old Bert bought him. and Sparky won the toy group that night. He was delivered to us that night after the show. He finished his championship in four weeks with four major shows.Sparkys first BIS cume at Boise. Idaho, in the fall of 1958. Again, Mrs. Cohen was involved. This time, she was a competitor and showing Corklo, Sparky's sire.

Ruth has been breeding Pomeranians for 65 years and continues to live on the home site of her ancestors. Through the years Ruth continues to produce the ultimate Pomeranian type and structure.Ruth purchased her first Pom black in Dayton, Ohio, over 65 years ago. She said she knew nothing at all about Poms. She laughed and said the first Pom she paid 25.00 for didnt look at all like the beautiful Poms she admired. However, Ruth did return to Ohio to have the bitch bred. Four puppies were whelped. One male wassold as pet quality, but later finished his championship and won the Toy Group.Ruth also purchased Aristic Poms from the Schoenbergs, but paid 100.00 for three.Ruth said that was a lot of money then, especially for dogs. Later Poms were addedfrom the Dixieland and Models kennels, \ thus Great Elms.Reminiscing of her childhood, Ruth retire field is just back of the house where father paid 50 cents per 100 lb. of cotton meticulous job picking not one black lb.Ruth has fought many battles throughout carpal tunnel surgery on her left wrist, hand, grooming is difficult and kept to a grooming and taking proper care coats isRuth said the best thing about having delighted telling about Ch Great Elms In Show at Westminster in 1988, under winning the Specialty at 7 years, was ancallspicking cotton for her father. She said she continues to live today. Ruth said her picked by workers, however, Ruth did a spot or dirt, so she received 1.00 per 100her life, cancer in 1986, skin cancers and Carpal tunnel has also stiffened her right minimum these days. According to Ruth, the worst part breeding Poms.Poms was simply Prince Charming. Ruth Prince Charming IPs career, especially Best Judge Michelle Billings. Ch GE Shining Star other highlight Ruth shared.Well known in the show ring, a hounds-tooth jacket with a tan lining adorned Ruths favorite show attire. Anytime she approached the kennel wearing her show jacket, Timstopper would get so excited. He knew he was going to a show. Ruth would put Timstopper in the back seat and off they would go with him standing looking out the window. However on the return trip, he would lay stretched out across the seat sleeping, he had done his work. Ruth regrets, money was tight and Timstoppers show career was not as successful as it should have been.When asked what advice Ruth could give Pomeranian breeders, she said, There are so many different types of Poms today. Go to the shows and watch the judging. Find a type that you prefer and follow that line. Ruth also commented that, When searching for a stud, dont breed to the dog you prefer, breed to his sire. The sire produced that dog.'tyfrcc ccLtt t frcct uiitct a,liu-e, " RcctU Seastt,.22 - Pomeranian Review - SeftOct 2001A funny story shared by Ruth was a phone call she received from a lady wanting to breed her Pom. After some conversation, the lady informed Ruth that she didnt want stud service. She had a male that she thought Ruth should pay her to use, and give her a puppy. After Ruth shared a little about proper breeding, the lady again to try and persuade Ruth to use her stud, stating that she would pay Ruth. Ruth finally explained, You just dont understand breeding Poms.A few views shared by Ruth.. .Ruth contends that if a Pom wont eat Puppy Eukanuba, an egg omelet or a pancake, it is ill Pomeranian conformation over color, always.

Todays novices often find this all very difficult with family and professional commitments. However, Wanda and Dudley Roach have been successful with every bit of the above and beyondIIP They have been very successful in both the conformation and obedience ring under their registered Queenaire prefix. Together they devoted countless time, effort, and talent to both All-breed and Pomeranian Specialty clubs. Not only did they study the breed themselves, they offered help to others.Dudley Roach 1968oo0D . 0Wanda Roach 1968vCH QUEENAIRES SCOTCH N SODA 1969Queenaire3000QAs an example of their volunteering to help a novice, Janet Lucido recalls when she was trying hard to show her first show Pom. Recognizing the quality of this Pom did not match his ring placements, Dudley and Wanda took Janet quietly aside to discuss and demonstrate Pom presentation. His very next time in the ring, Janets Murphy took the five point major.Wanda wrote articles about obedience and one was chosen by Paula Hughes for reprint in her book. Dudley collected, organized, and computerized a vast amount of historical Pomeranian pedigrees. Our other dedicated Pomeranian historian, Derial Jackson recognized this interest and placed his own collection in safe keeping with him.At a time of their life when retirement generally calls, they first answered the call of need in our American Pomeranian Club. Not only did Dudley come forward to act as Review Editor, but as Dolly Trauner remembers his same volunteer spirit answered our necessity for the National Show Chairman and catalog producer. Wanda completed the team as Show Secretary and Club Treasurer.Now, that they are taking a much deserved retirement from our breed, how can we pay tribute to such dedication and theQueenaire name.........by here after remembering from whence wecame.00 nOPomeranian Review - SeftOct 2001 - 25mm'cV2 ^fMx rll ^SUPPORTED ENTRY BEST OF BREEDKENNEL CLUB00 HOLLOWAYCH Showcase Slick OperatorBISS CH Pominique N Nobles Dark Vader X Showcase So EnchantedThanks to Judge Victoria Lovely for this Best of Breed win from the puppy class over top ranking Specials.

So far they have successfully fertilized donor dogs eggs with Missys DNA. Now the hurdle is to successfully implant this egg in a surrogate mother. Cat cloning is one step ahead since their physiology is simpler and better understood. They have so far successfully implanted the egg to a surrogate cat, but it was later miscarried. Even with far more experience in sheep, pigs, goats, cows and mice, there is only 3-5 percent that survive until birth.^^orally, is this a diversion of science to make a profit, exploiting thegrief over losing a dear pet Even in the case of Missy, she came from a Humane Society and was therefore spayed. That means someone intended for Missy not to be reproduced...now someone else wants to create a new breed of lots of Missys. Is this prudentIf this is a futuristic source of our pets, I can see how our present day puppy mills will advertise, Dont settle for a perfect pet when you can own a unique pet bom using natural methods.a dream come true or nigh t - mareThe AKC is beginning to struggle with these moral issues. They approved on a one time special case basis the use of a surrogate mother. This was not cloning this was in vitro fertilization. Think about having your show girls dedicated only to a show career At the 1999 Canine Health Foundation, a reproductive specialist pointed out that just because an animal is cloned dont expect it to have the identical personality.As cherished as your most favorite Pom is, would you really want that one not to be unique Or do we really want to genetically design the perfect to standard Pom if it were possible Is a dream or nightmare Or is it simply put too much of a good thingOjVCcMarge CK.'mnzfelderPomeranian ehictosoppApcTELEPHONE EMAIL ADDRESSMail to Brenda K Hutton 15755 Greenway Lansing, MI 48906Ph 517 485-5183 BKPOMSbigfoot.com1ST CLASS S45.00 3RDCLASSS37.00 FOREIGN S65.00Make Checks tot American Pomeranian Club, Inc.The Official Publication of the American Pomeranian Club, Inc.Pomeranian Review - SeftOct 2001 - 39HEALTH GENETICSTn article in San Jose Mercury News on June 17, 2001, stated that a small company in thisBay Area, Genetic Savings Clone Inc. has dedicated 9 million into an effort to build a breed of identical Missys, Missy is an aging border collie-huskie mix breed. This Missyplicity project is widely considered the countrys best bet to be successful in this controversial genetics project of cloning. The basis for their edge over others attempting the same thing is the size investment in back of it and the partnership with Texas A M University, which was the first to successful clone cattle. Supposedly they have heard from hundreds of interested investors. Owners seem willing to invest perhaps 100,000. per animal they would like cloned. And again, supposedly hundreds have already paid down payments to three pet cell-storage businesses that have opened around the country. Genetic Savings Clone is said to ultimately offer not just copies of those pets, but also enhanced companion animals with longer life spans and other special capabilities. Designer petsAside from the moral question of cloning, this research project is unique from other standpoints. There are other wealthy families that have donated large amounts of money for medical research but generally it is toward an effort to cure human disease. It is rarely directed from thecommercialization viewpoint. And it is unusual to be so specific project oriented duplicating Missy.In case you want to rush right out to store your favorite Poms DNA, you have at least two other choices of companies Lazaron Bio-Technologies in Baton Rouge is associated with Louisiana State University, and PerPETuate is associated with Advanced Cell Technologies in Worcester, Mass. The cost ranges from 1000. to 2000. depending on if there is a rush the pet is dying or already dead. The annual service charge is 100. per year....until technology can successful clone. The present estimate of six figures for the cloning process is expected to drop to 20,000 as the process has improved.The basic cloning process is outlined as follows. A donor cell is extracted from the animal you want cloned and placed in a test tube. Another dogs unfertilized egg has the nucleus removed. These are fused . The donor nucleus causes the egg to develop into an embryo. Recall that an egg is a gamete with only half a cells required chromosome matter The donor nucleus side-steps the fertilization process that is required to add the sperms contribution to the DNA. The embryo is transferred into a surrogate mother dog where it divides like a normal embryo. And success is declared when a puppy genetically identical to the donor is bom.....the egg is a gamete with only half a cell's required chromosome matter. The donor nucleus side-steps the fertilization process that is required to add the sperm's contribution to the DNA.38 - Pomeranian Review - SeftOct 2001....Illllllllln...Gambler"Ch.

As I was interviewing Ruth Dotson Sundot Pomsfor another article, she mentioned an incident that highlights the impact of selectivity. She said that Jessie Stevens Jestom Poms, now deceased once made the observation that by just looking at pedigrees, someone would think the Roachs' Poms Queenaire and hers would look more alike. Ruth replied but what we selected for is entirely different.This is not to slight the power of a pedigree, but it does point out how selectivity can affect the Poms in our breedmg program's phenotype what they look like and genotype what genetics they carry. I recall that in one of Dr. Dodds seminars she said sometimes a bad trait example hypothyroidism is so prevalent throughout a breed especially a rare breed which has a particularly limited gene pool, the only choice you have is to select away from it. Stated another way, every pedigree will carry the potential hazard so, if you are pmdent in your selection, your breeding program will see the problem less and less often.In one of Dr. Battaglia's breedmg seminars, he explained that generally by the time a breed notices a particular problem within the breed it has pervaded a vast part of the breed if not all because one extremely typey individual earned this trait recessively and was widely used at stud. It took several generations for the trait to surface and be recognized, thus spreading unchecked. Therfore, as a breeder, it is useless to look backward for the culpnt. It is more effective to go forward with great selectivity.What does "select away from it" mean Noted geneticist, Dr. Willis emphasized in his lecture at the 1999 Canine Health Foundation Conference that the amount of time it takes to eliminate a trait from your breeding program is directly proportional to the degree that you select away from it. Let's use the example of cryptorchidism failure of one or both testicles to descent into the scrotum. If you eliminate all males that display this trait, eventually, there will be less and less cryptorchid males being bom. But for a higher degree of selection, you would also eliminate both of his parents from any further breeding. The next higher degree would be to eliminate his siblings from the breeding program. And then, still higher, eliminate his parent's siblings. Adding each degree of selectivity will produce faster results in your breeding program. However, by now you get the idea that selecting away from eliminating individuals from a program a particular trait also limits the gene pool.In Equus 272 Laurie Bonner wrote an article "When good traits go bad." She points out that overselecting for any one trait, even to remove a defect, can lead to unintended and potentially dangerous genetic consequences. The case in point she referenced was a series of experiments with foxes in Russia. On fur farms, foxes are bred for coat quality, but their wild behavior makes them difficult to control. A Russian scientist selected for calmer foxes.After about 10 generations for selecting for calmness only, the foxes were no longer silver in color but instead were black and white. They were stockier, had drooping ears, curled tails, and rounder heads. Behavior and appearance were closely linked. The more doglike in appearance, the more doglike in behavior. A few generations later, epilepsy appeared. They would shed at abnormal times. Their hormones changed so that they would go into heat at any time.These counter-survival traits were recessive but surfaced when natural selection stopped. When selecting for only one trait, others will also surface. There are numerous other examples of how selecting for only one trait brings about unexpected results. The scientist in that Russian experiment would not have guessed that selecting for temperament alone would change coat color. Notice this selectivity is not in-breding. Yet both selectivity and m-bredmg can produce similar results. If type to type breeding is Over selective it can have the same restrictive quality on the gene pool. When we speak of a dog being of good balance, we mean all of his separate parts go together well or are in harmony. But a breeding program must also be in good balance. I mean that a conscientious breeder must weight each trait they are selecting for or against on a sliding scale of how adverse is that particular trait. If it is a health issue that is very injurious to the animal, we have strict selection standards. Some cosmetic traits should receive farSeftOct2001 Continued on Page 49Continued from Page 43less a priority. We need to select the OVERALL best Poms for our breeding program without closing down the gene pool too tightly.Let's discuss what this means in a practical sense for Poms. We could apply the selectivity method to handle the problem of Severe Hair Loss Syndrome alopecia. Out-crossing, if it exists, will not eliminate the problem but will only mask it keep it recessive for several generations. If we are fortunate to develop a DNA test for this, our approach would be all together different. But until then, using individuals with coat problems in a breeding program would be foolish. But eliminating that individual's parents, sibling's, or further back relatives is any breeders call until we know how it definitely is transmitted. But as Dr. Battaglia pointed out...this problem was probably carried by a very typey individual.So as the fox experiment demonstrated, completely choosing by one trait alone will undoubtedly change the type appearance of the Pom. That is the science of the problem. Now, comes the art of breeding. Your decisions as a conscientious breeder of what degree of selectivity to use will affect the health and type of our breed.REGISTRARS CORNERJEAN SCHROLL 12950 S NEW ERA ROAD OREGON CITY, OR 97045 503-650-0023Register of MeritWEE HEARTS AUTUMN II MOUNTN CREST MISS HOLLYWOOD CH MILNES PRIDE OF PATRICIARegister of Merit ExcellentDIMONDES SOLITARE OF EMCEEHall of FameCH NOBLES CHEWBAKA OF POMINQUEGold ClubCH COURBETTLS ROAD SHOW CD NASubscription Notice...................Because the Pomeranian Review dietnot Have an editor for severaf months, a number ofissueswere not maifedto our subscribers.

Ruth took Rambler. Dudley had his daughter.Hints of what were to come started with a red-eye circling in the freezing wee hours. By the time, the airlines unloaded the cargo...Dudley's puppy was quite cold. With little time remaining, Dudley did manage to celebrate then- safe arrival. Now, we are not "telling tales" because Mr. Roach is the first to admit he saved most of his puppy training for inside the ring.So, when Sweepstakes Judge Olga Baker asked him toplease put his pup on the table...........he contemplated thiscomplex action before replying "No". The gracious judge recognizing the full consequences of the green shade of his skin tone decided she best put the puppy on the table herself. The judge in all fairness decided the puppy was still deserving the Best Puppy Award.All through their stay at the Statler Hilton, Dudley just couldn't get served a decent meal....that is, beside the salad Edna Giradot brought from home and served up in her room. So, Dudley's conclusion for the New Yorkers unfriendly attitude was because they were "all suffering from hunger". After the Garden, he ordered veal cordon bleu. A small three inch patty arrived with two baby potatoes.Dudley's stomach growled "Don't you even get a biscuit" But maybe it was a good thing he didn't have a full meal for the following part of the adventure.Finding a phone to call results home was not easy after the Garden, Everyone rushes the few booths that were available. Well, there was exciting news to share with Wanda at home. And....so when a booth was finally available.. .both Ruth and Dudley made a leap into it. Then as they tried to begin to recount Wanda all the goings on....all three startedSweeps Judge Olga Baker asked him to put his pupon the table.......he contemplated this complex action before replying "NO."laughing....not sleeping, not eating...contributed to the uncontrollable, infectious type of belly laughing. Somehow another Pom exhibitor just arriving on the scene didn't quite realize the innocence of the scene. . . and decided she'd better splitTypical of such a trip, even the ride home proved trying. They didn't want to risk that puppy near freezing on the tarmac like the trip out. So, a logical conclusion was to smuggle two Poms on board instead of the one allowed.Things were going all right until in flight when both ends of the carrier barked. What a cleaver ventriloquist their Pom wasRuth and Dudley were so glad to finally place their luggage in the trunk...they decided it was also a safe place to put their keys. Nothing like waiting another hour for AAA to rescue them in the middle of the night. It was even understandable that Dudley could hardly wait to get to a diner to order his first decent breakfast since he left home. He ordered everything on the menu....to discover his stomach must of shrunk....cause he could hardly make a dent in the heaping helpings on his plate.Things were going all right until in flight both ends of the carrier barked.See.....isn't it good to know some things never change inthe dog world.K Available JanFeb Pom Review..... asColor Ads....reserve your pages today250.00 70.00 500.00 350.00 275.00 100.00 275.00 100.00 500.00 220.00 40.00 25.00 80.00 photos 20.00.Full Page ColorBlackWhite Front Cover Back Cover Inside Frnt CoverBlackWhite Inside Back Cover BlackWhite Center Spread Color BlackWhite Half Page Fourth PageBusiness Card Ad 6 issuesAll ads include one photo.

By the way, Keoki is only the third Pomeranian in the world to achieve this title.As requested, Connie sent to the producer some pictures and information about Keoki, as well as their y web site httpffeeweb.pdq.netjzieba, and Keoki was selected to be one of the Poms featured on the P show, which was aired in December 2000. I will let Connie tell her own story.IWith this issue, We sicy jwtf bye. to Pudley fofcch ws editor of the Pomerivnitvn feWieW.After t learned how to mhke my computer talk, to pulleys computer, it Wees easy to submit columns to himThwnk you, Pulley for M the knr Work you hwdeput into cc Very demeendiny tevsk.OUR OWN TV STARiiOn October 20th, Janice E-mailed us. She called Keoki adorable and asked us if he really jumped over hurdles with a tennis ball in his mouth. She said she would like to profile him and hoped to make the shoot work with her schedules.Kristin, another of the producers for Breed All About It, called us to ask questions about Keoki. She wanted to know everything about him. What does he look like, what tricks can he perform, what are his favorite activities, what does he like56 - Pomeranian Review - SeftOct 2001niMto do best, what do we like to do with him, do we take him places, what kind of temperament does he have, etc.I told Kristin that Keoki loves to go for walks everyday, he loves to play ball in the backyard, he loves to push around his soccer ball, and he loves to play tug with his toys. He and Kalima our other Pom are therapy dogs, visiting hospitals and nursing homes. On Halloween,we dress both dogs in costumes, and they greet the trick or treaters at the door. During the Christmas season, they have their picture taken with Santa. Keoki also competes in agility.KEOKTS FAVORITE ACTIVITY IN THE WORLD IS FLYBALLKeokis favorite activity in the world is flyball. He is ball crazy, so flyball is the perfect sport for him. He runs on the Just Say Go - Gold team. Janice and Kristin were especially interested in the flyball angle. They discussed sending a film crew to Houston to photograph him. They wanted to get started right away. We told them his next tournament would be November 4th and 5th in Austin. That would really be the best time to film him because then they would get the whole picture. The tournament would show the lights, noise, other dogs all barking at once, all the teams, and all the excitement.Janice and Kristin were not sure they could wait that long, but in the end, they made it work. They said two producersphotographers were to arrive at our house in Houston on Friday, November 3, to film us at home. They would follow us to Austin and film Keoki at the tournament on Saturday, November 4th.I became a nervous wreck trying to anticipate their visit. The house needed to be cleaned, the yard had to be mowed, and the dogs had to be groomed. What should we wear, what should we say At the last minute, one of the producers mentioned we would be filmed packing up and getting into the car for the drive to Austin and the tournament. Now the car had to be washed and the garage cleaned out.Chris and Todd arrived at about 200 PM. on Friday. They were wonderful From the very beginning, their friendly personalities put us at ease. Todd attachedmicrophones to John David and myself. I wondered if the big cameras would scare the dogs but Keoki and Kalima ignored them completely.Filming began right away. Keoki and Kalima ran through all their tricks. Keoki chased his soccer ball all over the house. The photographers really got a kick out of that because Keoki becomes a wild thing when he is playing. He is noisy, to say the least. He chased the ball down the staircase over and over and over again. He played with his toys and had a terrific time.Chris and Todd also filmed John David and me playacting. We scooped out the dog food for the trip. We packed up the car. We walked out the front door with the dogs. We got in the car. We drove the car out of the driveway. We did every one of these things about 6 times each. The neighbors must have thought we were crazy to drive out of our driveway and then back in, over and over. I felt pretty crazy doing all that and trying not to look at the camera.The next day, filming began at 630 AM. at the tournament. Once again, John David and I had microphones attached to our shirts. We wore these microphones all day long until the end of the tournament at about 600 P.M. This was actually a little stressful since everything we said could be heard and recorded by Todd. He told us not to eat or go to the restroom without telling him first so he could turn our microphones offFILMING BEGAN AT 630 A.M.AT THE TOURNAMENTChris and Todd used three cameras. Todd operated the big one, Christ had a medium sized on, and they also used a tiny one at times. They always had two of the cameras running at all times. The tiny one was placed in Keokis crate to show him jumping into his crate when it was in the car. It was also taped to the flyball box tofilm him running up to the box, jumping on the box to trigger the ball, catching the ball, and pushing off from the box to run back down the lane. Those are our favorite shots. Chris showed them to us on the tiny screen and they look awesome.The men filmed Keoki all day long. They captured every one of his races. They filmed all his teammates dogs and people on Just Say Go. They picked out the biggest dogs atPomeranian Review - SeftOct 2001 - 571I IIIpthe tournament and filmed Keoki standing next to them to show how small he is. They filmed Keoki and John David warming up for each race. Keoki was filmed getting a massage. He was filmed wearing his Body Cooler to cool him down after a race. Before the the racing began, he was filmed being measured the jump height is determined by the smallest dog.Keoki is the height dog smallest dog for his team, so the jumps are set for 8 inches when he races. He was filmed after each race when John David gives him hisreward-a miniature tennis ball. He really is ball crazyMY MICROPHONE WAS HIDDEN, SO I LOOKED LIKE I WAS TALKING TO MYSELF. A LOT OF PEOPLE GAVE ME STRANGE LOOKSThe photographers interviewed the officials, the judges, our teammates, our team captains, and us. They interviewed us over and over and over. I have never talked so much in my life. At the end of the day, I was exhausted.I was asked to narrate each race from the sidelines. Since my microphone was hidden, I looked like I was talking to myself. A lot of people gave me strange looks and one lady even asked me what I was doing. John David and I also had to do more playacting. At the end of the day we stood on the racing lanes and pretended to cheer for Keoki as if he were running towards us. We got even more startled looks from bystanders.Chris and Todd told us how surprised and pleased they were by their new understanding of Pomeranians. They had never dreamed Poms are capable of so much action. Our little dog holds his own against very athletic dogs. They told us they had had a great time.John David and I had a truly remarkable and memorable experience. We were thrilled to share the fun of jlyball and the joy, love, and happiness our dogs give us.Pictures of Keoki performing in Flyball were included in the December issue of Pomeranian Review. He was featured on Animal Planet's Breed All About It Pomeranian segment on January 6, repeated time to time.TRAINING HINTSHas anyone else noticed something I think is truethat dogs learn specific muscle movements before they learn position Example When you teach your dog to Sit, you usually get him into a Sit position using either the lure or modeling method from a standing position. After he has learned to Sit on command andor signal, you may then try to tell him to Sit, while he is lying down. He looks at you with that totally blank expression we are all familiar with and says, Sit Would you spell that, please He has learned that Sit means to make the muscle movements that put him there from a standing position you now have to teach him that what you want is actually the specific position. The same is true for the Down many trainers will actually put the dog into a Sit before giving the Down command. The dog then has no idea that he has to lie down from a stand when the Down is given. This can cost points when you begin showing in the Open competition where the dog must do the Drop on Recall. It is important to teach the position exercises Sit, Down, Stand from any other position early in your training, so that the dog will understand the command fully.SuperTherapyPom,FoxyI asked Beverly Taub to write about her super Therapy Pom, Foxy. I have known Beverly for several years, since she lives in the Houston area we met at Agility and Obedience Trials and at the NASACSOC Total Health and Safety Day, when Therapy Dogs are one of the health-promoters featured. Actually, I think I met her husband Joel58 - Pomeranian Review - SeftOct2001II.1and his Lab at an Obedience Trial even before I met Beverly. I couldnt resist inserting a few comments of my own into her storyFOXY, CD, AX, AD FDCH, CGC, THERAPY DOGFoxy came into my life when she was a 10 week old 'fuzz-ball with a tongue.' Since my daughter had been bugging me for years to give her a little sister I registered Foxy as 'Foxy Little Sister' and advised my daughter this was the closest she was going to get to a having a little sister. Shortly thereafter my daughter went off to college and Foxy became my 'empty-nest child.'When Foxy was 6 months old, we enrolled in Obedience class. We went through the Basic class and continued on to the Novice class. Foxy was the top in both her classes 'no brag, just facf.We were all set to begin competing in Obedience that year when I attended the AstroWorld Series of Dog Shows and saw Agility and Flyball. I was hooked on agility after watching Cody, a Pom, put on a great performance. Gee, Poms can do this Cody went on to be the first dog of any breed to earn the Agility Champion title in USDAA Agility.I It took me several months, but I eventually found someone in our area to teach Agility and we signed up in the first class. We have been competing in Agility ever since. We compete at the Master's, Excellent B level, AKC and are hoping to earn the MX title before retiring.Flyball was another story. I had no idea what the object really was. Flyball was very young in this area and from what I could determine from watching, the dogs just kept running the course, going to the back of the line and running again over and over. In any event it looked like the dogs were having a ball. A pun, Beverly I found a team forming in our area and joined, only to find this particular team was only interested in big dogs. After a few months I convinced the small dogs to leave the team and I formed the Tiny Texans flyball team. Foxy is still competing with the team at 9 12 years old At the December tournament she was the only height dog on the team and ran every race for two daysshe still has it in her The 'height dog' is the one that set the jump height for the rest of the team the smaller the lowest dog, the lower the jumps are set for the whole team.Although we have a ball in our competition there you again, we have a passion for Animal Assisted Therapy. My sister, Sandra Wolfson, was very involved in AAT for many years and tried to get meinvolved because she felt Foxy would be a wonderful Therapy dog. I thought I did not have the time. Then in 1992 my sister died. A year later my husband and I both had the same idea of getting involved in Therapy he has a Lab. We both went through a workshop and tested with our dogs, thus beginning our work. We became Delta Society Pet Partners about four years ago and continue AAT as Pet Partners.I have found Foxy to be extremely versatile she works well with all ages, from very young to very old. Most of our current work is with children at the Children's Hospital at UTMB Galveston, and with adult rehab at Memorial Southeast's Hospital and Harborview Care Center.At The Children's Hospital she does anything from lying in bed with kids to playing fetch with them. She has amazed me by doing things there that she would not do at home. For instance, I have a vibrator chair when I turn it on, Foxy will not even walk on that side of the room. At the hospital, they have had Foxy lie next to a child having a vibrator treatment, and she just lay there beside the child. Foxy is not fond of needles the vet has to hide the needle behind her back while I distract Foxy, but she stayed with a child that was having an IV inserted. I later found out that that child had to have 5 adults hold her down to have her last IV inserted, whereas no one had to hold her when she had Foxy with her. How greatAt Harborview Care Center Foxy works in the therapy room with physical and occupational therapist. Foxy is used mainly in upper extremity rehabilitation therapy where patients brush her, throw balls directly to her, throw a Frisbee to her and feed her treats. With her on the floor in a down position we have our patients bend clear to the ground to feed her treats. It is always so neat when a patient says they can't bend that far, yet they manage to give Foxy her treats. We also work with the speech therapist, who has the patient blow on Foxy, a gentle blow will make Foxy sticker out her tongue and lick. A moderate blow, and Foxy will "wave" with both 'hands. A hard blow, and Foxy will tuck tail and run in tight circles. I have seen thisit is absolutely ridiculousAt Memorial Southeast we usually work with the patients while they are in bed, although some are in wheelchairs. Our goals are to increase endurance, get the patient to participate in conversation, get stroke patients to use the affected hand, or whatever the recreational therapist requests of us.iI I jiiiUiLij i1 iyj ^i i iPiyiI i iiiMi1 jIyii iiPomeranian Review - SeftOct 2001 - 59III iIIIiiiii ii il IIIIlllIIIiFoxy is also very involved in communily service, working therapy booths for area health fairs. Along with my husband and his Lab, Bear, we do demonstrations and talks at area functions, and with our flyball team, Tiny Texans, Foxy and I have done fundraising demonstrations for several charitable organizations. We also presented a program last year at Butner Elementary School in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and have been invited back for 'A Very Special Day,' a military festival with helicoptersand usat Fort Bragg in May 2001.Seven years after Foxy's Obedience training, I was going to be attending an Obedience Trial out of state with my husband, so I thought for kicks I'd enter to give me something to do. Foxy received a leg both days. We entered a Trial locally and finished her CD on her next time in the ring. She was bored in the ring, so we're sticking with Agility and Flyball.Foxy's Obedience training, socialization at PetSmart and various parks, Agility and Flyball training have all been an important part of her successful Therapy work. Foxy is a very busy lady still, though 10 in March.RESCUEFirst, a report on Second Chance Oiver Twist, about whom I wrote in my last column. By the way, most Rescues come without a name, or with a call name given by the shelter they were in. I re-name them with my kennel name and then have fun. Oliver was found crossing a busy Galveston street, dragging a chain leash with leather handle. His front leg was badly broken. The shelter advertised for the owner, and a month later, when I returned from Indonesia, they called me to see if I could take him. I took this black, 7 pound, 9-month- old to my vet, who x-rayed for free, bless his heart and said it would require a specialist.Two months later, by the time Oliver had recovered from surgery which required insertion of a metal plate, I knew he was a super, super dog and needed a home where he would have a job. During his recovery, I had been looking for an Obedience, Agility, or Service home for him. Finally, I thought I had found itat San Francisco Hearing Dogs. Unfortunately for them, they were late in sending the testing material to me and by then I couldnt let him go, so instead of being a Hearing Dog, Oliver is now in training for Obedience and Agility competition-with me. I like to think that if I had received the Hearing Dog test on time instead of just a week before we were to leave for California, he would have passed it, and I would have given him up.As it is, I didnt give the test, which would have required two people he didnt know as testers, anyway, so where was I to find them on such a short notice Excuses, excuses. By the way, Dr. Daley, the orthopedic specialist, also said that his knees are perfectly sound. See his article on luxating patellas in the JulyJuly, 1995, Pomeranian Review. And his recovery from that break is such that Dr. Daley said that, yes, he can jump 10-30 times a day for 5 days a week with no problem. This is the first time in 8 years of doing rescue that I have kept one. What can I say I say watch for him in the Obedience and Agility ringsSecond, some Rescue concerns have come up on the APC Rescue e-mail list.

After running a few Agility courses, I have to say that that takes hard work, dedicated training, and very strong knees and ankles You won't ever see my dogs names with that title Ill leave that to those younger than I.To get your name and that of your dog in BOLD PRINT, join the American Pomeranian Club. This will also make you ehgible for the APC Annual Awards, awarded yearly. Yes, I know thats redundant, but its fun to say it that way. Historical Awards, on the other hand, are available to any Pomeranian.This joke was told to me by a staff member while Taffy was doing Pet Therapy in the Rehab unit at the local hospital. Taffy was very obviously enjoying the attention he was getting from a stroke patient who was exercising her arm by petting him.Q.A.How many Pomeranians does it take to change a light bulb Just one.
