THANKS, ELEANOROwnerHandler Judy Green822 Parkside Boulevard Claymont, DE 19703 302 798-3962"pending AKC confirmation The Pom Reader July 19856 SHOWSIGHT - FROM THE EDITORI personally love typesetting pedigrees, you get such good insight into where the greats came from, where the breed is going, as you will see in this, our Stud Dog Directory Issue of the Pom Reader. A collection of fellows that surely promise continued advancement of the breed. Thank you all for your support.Travel. Everybody seems to have travel on their mind this month. Or things that have to do with travel.I am reminded of a funny incident on a plane. A fellow I know had to take a plane to a show circuit, bringing along a Top winning Peke Special and a Top winning Pom special. Now, none of us are thilled to fly with dogs, of course, but this fellow decided to skirt the issue, and figured out a way to bring both dogs in cabin. He simply poured the Peke into that little under-seat container, and hid the Pom in an oversized carry-on bag. That all would not go according to plan should have been apparent the minute he boarded feeling exuberant, the Pom let out with a few little Pom-sized yaps - the flight attendant glanced into the Pekes crate and said, My, what a little bark for such a big dog. Oh, yes, he mumbled, and quickly moved to take his seat, hoping the Pom would just go to sleep. The Pom, being nobodys fool, decided that this was, indeed, a good game, and he would play right along. This Pom proceeded to be so quiet that the gentleman grew worried was the Pom allright Probably spurred on by guilt, the man opened the bag to take a look and,...surprise There went the Pom, running throughout the plane, in between peoples legs, up onto their laps, with much upsettings of coffee and cocktails and enjoying himself thoroughly. And, of course, the Peke was very irked at the freedom being accorded the Pom, and set up a very vocal argument. When order was restored, and the inevitable accusations lodged, the gentleman had a hard time convincing the flight attendants that the Pom had stowed away, unbeknownst to him.Realizing that tossing a man and two dogs out the door at 30,000 feet was probably not good for the corporate image, it was determined that should the gentleman be able to contain his two small charges, the flight would continue according to schedule. But he reported that it was the most uncomfortable two-hour flight that he ever made, as everyone in the plane kept throwing him fishy glances, and people kept looking down between their feet.He got them back but good, though. One other time, traveling with a Chow, there was some kind of scheduling error a rushed change of planes made this fellow nervous, and he demanded that they go into the cargo hold to check on his dog. The Chow, happily asleep, was not exactly thrilled with a stranger peering into his crate, and let out a ferocious growl. The next thing anyone saw was the airline employee, barreling out of the cargo hold, screaming, Theres a blank-blank LION in there At last report the gentleman is now taking the bus.Probably considering travel by bus this month is Kenneth The Pom Reader July 1985Miller, and with good reason. Returning from a judging assignment in Newfoundland, Kens plane was delayed from take-off for two hours due to bad weather, and when cleared to depart, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A bit too soon, it turned out. Shortly after becoming airborne, flashing lights came on it was announced that they had to dump the fuel tanks and return for an emergency landing. Apparently they got things fixed Ken did get home that day, slightly shaken, but unscathed. That takes a trooper -1 agree with Eleanor when she says that there is No Way they would have gotten her back on board a plane that day. Maybe Ken knows something about Newfoundland that we dont.HERE SHE COMES...THERE SHE GOES Department Speaking of covering a lot of ground, yesterday I had trouble with Edna Girardot. I had something I wanted to tell her that I knew she would get a kick out of, and I thought I could catch her at the show. Try catching Edna at a show - not the easiest thing to do. Three times I saw her coming, but by the time I maneuvered through the crowd, she was past. I dont think she was doing it on purpose, she just moves very quickly. Oh, well, we can all catch Edna this month - see Showing Poms is the Best Medicine, Part I, in this issue. A delightful visit with a delightful lady. Travelling by motor home can be atrial, also, as my friend Charlotte Patterson will attest. Charlotte joins us this month with a light-hearted look at Motor Home Life...see And Away We Go. On the more serious side, however,I want to take a moment to warn those of you with motor homes about one thing - it is easy to become overconfident with a motor home, and it can be a drastic mistake. I am talking about air-conditioning.At summer shows, you often see people running out to their motor homes to make sure that the generator is running, and if it is, they run back into the show site. I myself was very guilty of this practice for a long time. You see, we all reasoned that the more often you open the door, the more cool air is lost, but as long as the generator is whirring away, we figured everything was fine. This method, however, is not good enough. If the coils should freeze up, the generator will continue to run, but the air- conditioner is now blowing out HEAT, turning the most sophisticated of vehicles into, well, an oven. You must go inside to be sure all is well. Dont take a chance.But if you wont listen to me, just Ask Shu-Shu. The PR is most pleased to welcome to the team Shu-Shu Johnson and her secretary Shannon Johnson. In the coming months, Shu-Shu will be here to answer the pressing questions we all have and need answered. Also answering questions again this month is Vikki Powell, and Susan Wade discusses a topic of utmost importance for July - heat stroke.

Jump out of our soft, warm bed to hit the outside cold, misty air to relieve ourselves on that wet grass that soaks our lovely hair and feet. Our humans always have the warm and dry home conveniences. Come in for a bit of breakfast. The same boring stuff to eat, day in and day out. Our humans always have a variety to select from on their plates. The morning chores of barking at strangers, chasing the cat, entertaining our friends, brothers and sisters in the back yard. Going bye-bye in the car to help our humans get their car safely home with its grocery contents. Training sessions, grooming times, and ball chasing.

She feels the breed has come a long way in the last ten years. The heads are much nicer, and the coats have greatly improved. The thing that she feels has improved the most is movement. All in all, Mrs. Berman felt that there was not one Pom in the bunch that she wouldnt have stuck in her pocket and taken home wih her.

The drive is breathtaking and the shows are held in a campground right on the Rogue River.They are two of the smaller shows on the West Coast scene but the surroundings are such a treat I wouldnt miss it. This year, the general chatter was about coats and grooming preparations, soundness, and what do you feed ahhh, theres that question again. So, on to the promised remainder of my thoughts and findings on the question of what and how to feed your show dog...A few important points were mentioned last time that will come up again, one being that you cannot necessarily grow more coat legally where it is not genetically preordained, but you can feed to enhance growth and condition. There are many things that can adversely affect your dogs ability to produce optimum coat levels. One thing that harms haircoat almost more than any other single item is the presence of internal parasites. Fleas are also a big problem because the dog damages the precious coat by digging and scratching at it repeatedly. An unpleasant by-product of fleas is the infamous Flea Allergy Dermatitis which, in addition to the biting and scratching, produces red welts on the skin that the dog rips at, causing an even more vicious cycle. Since parasites are environmentally controllable, you can make eradicating them first on your list towards healthier coats. If your dog is parasite-free, gets plenty of quality exerice circulation is very important, is well groomed, and is genetically able to produce a good coat, and you are still having a problem growing a sleek, shiny coat, then you can investigate your dogs nutritional mainstays.Proper nutrition varies from breed to breed and can vary from dog to dog within a specified breed. A dogs blooming health depends on other factors as well as the aforementioned ones age, weight over- and underweight, stress encountered, sickness, reproduction and lactation all play an integral part in what type of nutrition your dog requires. Since most of us are concerned with show dogs that are also breeding, and these same dogs require extra energy to grow coats, the following information on feeding is aimed in that direction. Some of the information is fact, some opinion, and no one method will be right for everyone, so the by-words here are Investigate and Experiment.The suggestion to experiment with different foods hasThe Pom Reader July 1985its basis in logic. Many breeders would be astounded to know just how many dogs have difficulty tolerating or are even allergic to BEEF and its byproducts. This explains the recent trend towards dog food bases composed of poultry and its by-products, and sometimes even lamb and rice. Many dogs also do not tolerate soy products well due to the adult dogs lack of the enzyme needed to metabolize galactose properly, so soy can cause fermentation to occur, automatically producing gas and even diarrhea. Dog food packaging shows now that the companies are concerned, for those products not containing soy pronounce it in full view. The same goes for foods not containing preservatives, salt, and sugar - the companies make sure you know right up front. The worst offenders of utilizing unnecessary ingredients to make the food look yummy to the consumer are the makers of the semi- or soft-moist foods and I stay far away from those types.How do you choose a dog food by its base First, it is necessary to understand that dry dog foods are made up of proteins both animal and vegetable, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fillers. Meat meals and by-products, most especially those made from beef, are usually the first item on an ingredient list, followed closely by the cereal grains.As has already been stated, poultry is fast becoming the meat of choice in many dry foods, with wheat and corn cereals right behind forming the balance of meat and grain needed.Soy is a source of high quality vegetable protein and can also be combined with the other grains to form a balanced food, but when the dry food lacks meat as its main protein source, the quality is less.If you go to the supermarket and read the labels, you will find MANY foods in which the first three or four ingredients are grains and soy and what meat there may be is meat meal, and it is way down in the list of ingredients, signifying to the astute label reader that this foods protein base is of a lesser quality than what will probably be needed to maintain your show dogs. A high quality food label generally reads with the meat meals as the first ingredients. Listed dry weight protein and fat contents must be measured against the contents of the food to determine quality. Lower fat and protein levels as well as high crude fiber levels i.e. fillers indicates a strong possibility that you are looking at a lower quality food.15VIKKI POWELL continuedPlease note at this point that this DOES NOT MEAN that there is anything wrong with this type of food, but rather that the breeder of heavily-stressed dogs is looking for just a little bit more quality-wise than a food that is adequate for all stages of your dogs life. All of the above information is directed at those that may feed straight dry food with no supplementation of any sort.If the breeder supplements, be it with added fats, vitamins, canned foods or cooked meat, then the dry food protein base can easily be one of the lower fat and protein level foods, as long as your supplementation is done carefully. With the very high quality dry foods, it is usually not necessary to do this, except perhaps in stress conditions pregnancy, lactation, heavy show schedule, etc.,. Vitamin supplementation is an area I dont want to go into, but some vitamin strength can be lost during different types of food processing. Many food manufacturers are supposed to make up for this expected loss by adding more to begin with regardless of that, I find that my dogs thrive when a balanced dog multi-vitamin is added daily to their diets. I also add extra vitamin C.As far as fat content is concerned, many dry dog foods are deficient in the fats needed to maintain healthy show coats. Once again, this is not to say that there is anything wrong with the minimal amount of fat allowed 5, only that research has shown that dogs in stress conditions seem to need a much higher fat content 15-35 to reach optimum performance and growth levels. The obvious reason why most dry dog foods have a low fat content by choice is shelf-life, but many of the newer formulas are opting for higher fat contents 10-20 and lesser shelf- life. Many breeders use meat drippings, vegetable oils, lard or store-bought coat enhancers for their extra fats, but regardless of what you use, it is how you do it that counts with fats.When supplementing with fats, the breeder must remember that too much can be worse than too little. Some of the problems that can occur with over-use of fat in the diet follow. Most of the suggestions found in this section come from a great little book put out by the Alpo Pet Center entitled Canine Nutrition and Feeding Management, and they allow use of the information they have compiled in publications stressing good diet and nutrition. Too little fat in the dogs diet can cause dry, scaly skin and a harsh coat - BUT, too much fat introduced too quickly into the diet can cause loose stool, weight gain, and over-whelming of the pancreas. Another thing that can occur is this Fats and oils are the most concentrated energy source, therefore when you increase the overall amount, you increase energy density levels. To balance this out you must INCREASE TOTAL NUTRIENTS to make up for the necessary reduction in total food intake. In simpler terms, if you add more fat youmust decrease the actual amount of food your dog consumes or he will get fat. The average nutrient level per cup of food fed must therefore be higher than before since you are actually feeding less bulk than before. If this is not done correctly, it is obvious that serious nutrient deficiencies can occur. The lowest level of fat a dog should have is 5 of total food intake however, in the case of show dogs showing is always classed as a high-stress level, Alpo Pet Center recommends 15-30 fat for optimum performance.In conclusion, once again it must be stressed that the breeder needs to investigate various successful methods of feeding to grow nice coats and then must experiment to some extent until you hit on the right formula for your kennel. A tremendous amount of information can be gleaned from breeders who have been successful for many years. Specific diets cannot be shared in this magazine since it could constitute promotion of certain brands of foods. However, anyone can write to me at any time for actual data on specific brands, and also for information on other breeders who would be happy to answer questions about successful feeding regimens.Just remember that BALANCED is the single most important word in nutrition without it almost anything can go wrong.Good Luck...until next time, happy showingSend any questions or comments you may have toMrs. Victoria Powell, do Doll-McGinnis Publications, 8848 Beverly Hills, Lakeland, FL 33805Pet Portraits^ -PONVi - VVCALL OR WRITE FORFREE FULL-COLOR BROCHUREDept.

There are several modes of transportation available - car, station wagon, van, motor home, plane and barge this is for those lucky individuals that live on the Mississippi or the Intracoastal Waterway. In the years I have been attending dog shows, I have traveled many ways, starting like most people with one dog in a car, then three dogs in a station wagon, eight dogs in a van, and finally 15 dogs in a motor home. Occasionally, we travel with one dog by plane and feel like the privilidged rich, but since that is only on special occasions i.e. the Garden or Specialties we really cant count that as being a regular with todays flight schedules mostly irregular means of transportation.But most of the time we to by Motor Home. You will notice I capitalize the words because Lord knows I dont want to hurt the beasts feelings.Motor Homes are convenient, comfortable, fun, and possessed. Just when you think you have everything fixed or at least figured out...WHAM-0 it falls apart. They also provide you with excellent conversation starters. Just ask any Motor Home owner how his rig is doing and he will start on a two-hour dissertation of all his trails and tribulations. The good thing about listening to all of ths is that he will also ply you with drink so you wont run away screaming.One time on our way back from a show, we stopped to dump for those of you with vans, station wagons and cars - this means to empty the holding tank. The campground attendant told us to pull into an empty space and use the facilities. After completing the necessary task, we cranked her up and, rather then drive around the circle to exit, my husband decided he would make a hard right and pull out. As he was doing this naturally over my objections we heard a thump. I said in my most innocent voice, What was that We hit something. he replied. We looked out the window and to our amazement there was a geyser where the water spigot had been. As we watched, it shot higher and higher in the air. The manager came running out and dear old hubby, urbane as usual, said in his best businesslike voice I think I hit your water pipe. The poor fellow couldnt even speak, just stood there shaking his head and then ran for the shutoff valve. When he finally located it, in his confusion he turned it the wrong way and the water promptly shot even higher in the air. By this time the campground and all the campers were awash in not only water, but also red mud people were taking pictures and even the traffic on the nearby interstate was stopping to gawk What started out to be a routine stop to dump at the cost of 3.00 turned out to be The Pom Reader July 1985the most exciting event of the day. Of course, we thought 36.00 to repair the water faucet was a bit much.Then there was the time we were at a McDonalds for our usual balanced lunch, and upon Backing out of our parking place, there was a definite crunch. What was that my dauntless husband inquired. You hit something. I said. No, I didnt. he snapped. With that he promptly put it in reverse again and once again we heard a crunch. What was that he snarled. You hit it again. I replied sweetly I have found that in these situations my unfailing good humor stands me in good stead.. Finally, he got out and sure enough, there was a lovely Cadillac with a crunched-in rear end. He stood there and scratched his head in disbelief. Being the gentleman that he is, he marched into the restaurant to find the owner. Would you believe it - the owner of said crunched- in car turned out to be an attorney.Needless to say, we now avoid McDonalds parking lots like the plague.We have had our share of breakdowns, repair bills, and close calls, but I must say on the whole Motor Home travel is fun. Often times when you arrive at the shows, one of your friends will have saved you a place, and you will have dinner and drinks together, discuss yesterdays wins or losses, in which case you drink more and your hopes for tomorrow. You plan litters, grade puppies, discuss or cuss upcoming judging panels, and form deep and lasting relationships with people from all over the country that share your interest in pure-bred dogs.I couldnt close this column without telling you about the time we were doing the Texas circuit during a regular wind storm. We were tooling down Interstate 20 and we heard a flapping noise. Upon inspection we discovered our awning had blown up over the Motor Home. We pulled onto the shoulder and hopped out to re-roll it and lock it back in place.I had washed my hair and it was still in rollers. The wind was so strong it blew the rollers right out of my hair and across the interstate. We started laughing and couldnt get the awning up in all that wind. We drove down to the nearest exit, awning flapping, and curlers missing, and pulled off trying to block the wind with our rig so we could re-roll the darn thing. Within two minutes, two more Motor Homes pulled off to help us. These were not people we knew, just dog show folks in Motor Homes willing to help out in trouble. You dont often see that happen any more.Until next time........Charlotte606 Sea View Cir., Destin FL 3254117e Pom Reader All about Poms and Pom People12 Months - 12 Issues24.00 third class post40.00 first class post Overseas rates upon requestADVERTISING RATESin U.S. DollarsAD SIZE OPEN RATE CONTRACTFull Page 120.00 96.00Half Page 65.00 53.0014 Page 35.00 27.0018 Page 20.00 16.00116 Page 12.00 8.00Full Color is avaiable at 250.00 additional per page.

Scotia Caviliers Leader, Ch. Scotia Cash Dividend, Ch. Scotia End of the Rainbow in 1963 Wm. Brown PhotoThe one thing I really want to stress is to never give up. There will be setbacks and disappointments, but you must always keep on going. Never give up, she says. Keep on going, she says. Always, she says. And Im willing to listen, because if there was ever a testament to dedication and devotion, its Edna Girardot.This morning I was enjoying an article written by Edna. It was full of good advice, humorous and serious by turns much like the lady herself. At one point I happened to glance up at the dateline 1939.46 years ago. But even in 1939, Edna was no stranger to the sport of pure-bred dogs.In 1929, Edna Charles Girardot founded the Scotia Kennels in Scotia, New York -1 dont know if the kennel was named after the town, or the town named after The Pom Reader July 1985the kennel. An avid sporting couple, Edna Charles first dogs were Black Tan Coonhounds. Their interest in Sporting breeds increased, and they had the first Otter Hounds in their part of the country. Next the Girar- dots turned their sights to the Gordon Setter, were charter members of the Gordon Setter Club of America, and campaigned their Gordons on the bench and in the field. Further work with English and American Foxhounds would seem to cement their future in the Sporting breeds. But fate can be funny.In 1958, on the advice of her physician, Edna was forced to discontinue work with the large breeds she so dearly loved, and Edna purchased two Pomeranians as pets. Edna tried to sit back and relax, but...the best medicine, for Edna, was still the competition of the show ring.19E8nJudge Mary S. Brewster, Clara Alford with Ch. Sungolds Gay Cavilier at Ft. Worth Pom Club Specialty in 1961. Club President Edd Embry Bivin on right Luttrell Photo-WKENNEL CLUBSEPTEMBER I960PHOTO BT UftOkAm.Mr. Bivin judging, Edna Girardot with newly crowned Ch. Scotia Just Dandys Little Man in 1980 Graham PhotoEdna decided to get a Pom to show, and...enter Sungolds Gay Cavilier. Bred by Anna LaFortune, Cavilier came into Ednas life two days before his first show, The American Pomeranian Clubs Summer Specialty, where he and his handler Frank Ashbey went right through to Best of Winners. Later campaigned by the great Clara Alford, Cavilier was to distinguish himself again and again in the show ring, but his greatest legacy is, of course, the tremendous impact he has had upon the breed. See CH. SUNGOLD GAY CAVILIERSo the Sporting Dog lady turned to Toys, and not without a little trepidation When I made the change from the big gun dogs to the little toys, I was worried. said Edna. I never had been able to understand why people would have a tiny pet. But Im thoroughly converted - the Pom is vivacious, intelligent, and a wonderful watch dog. He seems to sense danger faster and better than the big guard dogs. Hes a lot of dog in a little package.If Edna Girardot was completely won over by the energetic, confident little Pomeranian, the dog world has been equally impressed with the work of this energetic, confident little lady Edna has bred or owned over 150 Champions, has held many offices in All-Breed clubs, has served several terms as President of the American Pomeranian Club, was honored by the Westminster Kennel Club for fifty years of attendance at the Garden, and in February of this year, the American Pomeranian Club dedicated its 66th Specialty Show to her. Thats enough to make the average person sit back and rest on their laurels, wouldnt you thinkWell, no one ever accused Edna of being average. Edna is constantly on the go, travelling all around the United States to shows I love to see Edna arrive at a show. Like a whirlwind, Edna enters the grooming tent, grooms them up like the pro she is, hits the show ring, and...off againshe goes. I can hardly keep up with Edna.Yes, its the same Edna Girardot who almost thirty years ago was told to slow it down, to quit charging around the ring with those big gun dogs. I would love to see the look on the doctors face these days or, better yet, I would love to see that doctor keep up with Edna NEXT MONTHEDNA GIRARDOT TALKS ABOUT POMSandA PHOTO JOURNEY THROUGH 28 YEARS OF POMS...exclusively in 7i om tfleacer-.

SUNGOLD GAY CAVILIERSeptember 20, 1958 - November 27, 1971 Sire of 66 American Champions - 6 Foreign Champions Bred by Anna La Fortune of San Diego, California, Cav came to Edna in September of 1959, and within a year had won the Ft. Worth Pom Club and two Bests In Show All Breed. Handled at first by the late Frank Ashbey, and later by the late Clara Alford, Cavilier topped out his show career with a record of 2 All Breed Bests In Show, 37 Group Placements including 18 Toy Group Firsts, and five Specialty Bests In Show. Cavilier was retired from the show ring at two years of age for breeding purposes. Among the 66 domestic and 6 foreign Champions sired by Cavilier are many Toy Group and Best In Show winners, and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren continue his winning ways.The Pom Reader July 198520 GENERALLY SPEAKINGSusan WadeSOME DONT LIKE IT HOTJuly in the South It can be a dangerous time for our dogs My Vet has said that he treats more cases of heat stroke in the month of July than at any other timeHeat stroke is an emergency situation - it requires immediate recognition and treatment. We tolerate high temperatures much better than our canine friends.They depend upon rapid breathing to exchange warm air for cool. So, when the air temperature is close to the body temperature, this is not a very efficient method. Any dog with a disease of the airways has special difficulties in coping with excess heat.There are situations which predispose to overheating Being left in a car in hot weather being confined in concrete runs with no shade being of a short-nosed brachycephallic breed being left under a dryer or suffering from airway disease or any condition which impairs breathing.Heat stroke begins with rapid frantic noisy breathing. The tongue and mucous membranes are bright red the saliva is thick, and the dog will frequently vomit. His rectal temperature is high, usually over 106 degrees. If the condition is allowed to continue, the dog can become unsteady and stagger, he can have bloody diarrhea, and will become weaker and weaker. Coma and death ensue.Emergency measures must begin at once. In a mild case, simply moving the dog to cooler surroundings can do the trick however, if the temperature is over 104 degrees, or if he is unsteady on his feet, he should be cooled by being put into a tub of cool water. If this is impossible, try hosing him down with a garden hose or just pouring cool water over him - again and again. With a temperature over 106 degrees, cold water enemas can be given, but I would be on the way to the Vet The throat can swell during heat stroke and this does require veterinary treatment - often a cortisone injection.The Pom Reader July 1985My list of Dos and-Donts is thisDONT expose any dog with airway disease, impaired breathing, or short noses to prolonged heat.DO restrict exercise to the cool parts of the day.DO breed dogs in air- conditioned surroundings.DO crate a dog in a wire cage. DO provide plenty of shade and lots of cool water in the runs at all times.Editor Joe McGinnis also asked me to give a reminder to those of you who travel to shows in motor homes...Check your air conditioner often Out in the parking lot, if your generator should fail or your AC malfunction, those air-tight vehicles heat up very quickly - like an oven. Some people arrange with others parked around them to check back and forth during the day, to make sure that everything is functioning correctly. Joe always leaves the rig unlocked so that in case of trouble, anyone can get in. Ed. note Thanks There goes the VCR.-JAnother good thought, told to me by Kathy Masilla Keep an ice pack outside of the whelping box for new mothers. Some bitches get overheated after whelping and pant a lot, even though there is no calcium deficiency. Placing an ice pack oustide the whelping box, where mama can lie on it and watch the babies will keep her from panting her milk away. I thought that the ice might lessen the chance of her milk coming down, but it was quite the opposite...the ice pack made her milk come in with a vengeance.One of those plastic things sold for freezing and keeping food cold in coolers is great for dogs. Freeze it, wrap it in a towel, and put it in the bottom of his crate. Ive never known a dog whatever the breed that didnt appreciate a cool tummy on a hot daySusan WadeP.O.

As most all serious Pomeranian fanciers are, in one way or another, involved in campaigning their Poms for AKC Championship points, we feel that it is important to keep tabs on the Pomeranian doings in this area.The procedures for tallying the point scale are as followsThe source for all points is the official show awards book of the AKC Gazette. Only this publication will be used for point credits. Exhibitors are credited with all AKC Championship points won in the Gazette year, and published monthly according to appearance in the Gazette. As keeping track of each and every AKC show in the United States is an onerous task accomplished diligently by AKC, many times the actual show dates will vary from the date of publication i.e.- a September show may not be published until November..
