First off, the Christmas decorations. This is always a travesty, and its all my fault, I admit. Now, every year I come up with a new theme commonly referred to, around here, as Joes Cockamamie Christmas Decoration Ideas] rarely do my themes work according to plan, and always they are the cause of heart-rending profanity, smashed fingers, and misery they all require at least thirteen trips to various stores, and when people try to help they never do it right. Take for example the year of the Prettiest Yuletide Utility Pole In Imperial Polk County. This was a disaster. We have a sixty foot utility pole on the property, and it was fairly screaming to be decorated, but what does one do with a sixty foot utility pole Cover it with lights, of course I skillfully plotted out the whole design however, there were numerous flies in the ointment. First of all, most strings of lights have gaps in between bulbs, and I would not stand for gaps in my Yuletide Utility Pole. Therefore, I devised a plan for stringing lots of strings of lights together, cleverly staggering the ends, in order that there be no unlit areas. This required twenty-seven strings of lights, but at last it was complete. And then there was the minor detail of attaching the lights to the pole itself. Stacking ladder upon ladder did little to reach the summit, and I could convince no one to climb the pole itself. However, a brilliant solution came quickly to mind in the back of the barn there was a piece of PVC pipe which could be attached to a lot of other pieces of PVC pipe which would, in time, reach the top. Out of clothes hangers and something else I devised a kind of two-sided hook which could be inserted into the pipe for the trip up, with the other side of the hook ready to slip into the little round piece of metal I could just barely see up there. Hook attached to lights attached to pipe, I began to raise the lights to their prescribed position.This next part of the operation started out just great - however, the PVC tended to sway in the wind, and it was impossible for one person to control the unweildy conveyance therefore I called upon Duane Doll and Sherri, a girl who worked for us then and quit shortly thereafter. The three of us were out there, squinting up at the little hole, and maneuvering the pole as the lights themselves swayed back and forth in the breeze, pulling the pole with them. OOOOOOOHHHHHH, we would holler, as the three of us ran in the direction of the swing. Then we would regain balance, and then OOOOOOOHHHHHHH again as we ran the opposite way. We were having a lot of fun.Twice the hook refused to hold, and the lights came cascading down on top of us, adding an element of excitement, not to mention danger, to the proceedings. After several hours, however, the lights were in place, and we proceeded to walk around and around and around and around and around the pole to wrap it neatly and properly. At one point, Sherry got so dizzy she fell right down, kerptop. This last endeavor completed, we firmly attached the end of the lights to the bottom of the pole, sat back, exhausted, and turned on the power.It was breathtaking. Absolutely gorgeous. Spasms of jealousy struck several executives at Disney World, forty miles away after all, they didnt have a Yuletide Utility Pole. All in question agreed that it had been very worth the effort, until I ruined the whole thing...Oh NO We have to take it back down, I cried, only to be met with looks of incredulity from everyone present. Cant you see Way, way up there, the color sequence is wrong Theres TWO BLUE BULBS RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER To this day thereThe Pom Reader January 19877.is an argument when the Yuletide Utility Pole is mentioned.Then there was the year of the Christmas Tree With Lights Zooming Out In All Directions. I got a huge Christmas Tree, decorated it just so, and put it in the middle of the main cross-fence leading up the hill of the front yard. Then I attached lights all along the board fence, starting from the tree and reaching out into infinity and then some. Then, when the Christmas Tree blinked, it appeared to be sending sparkles of love and peace out to the world, happiness to all. Of course, attaching the lights to the board fence was fun it required 623 little thumb tacks, but nothing was going to stand in the way of this creation. When I finished, however, it was spectacular some said it almost looked good enough to eatUnfortunately, some thought so, too. The very first morning, as I popped out of bed in the predawn darkness to view my masterpiece, something was amiss. The star was gone from the top of the tree, and the tree itself was swaying back and forth in a wild manner. Fearing a hurricane, I rushed outside, only to be confronted with several of Duane Clark Dolls Stupid Jerk Cows happily munching away on the hapless Tree. Now every time someone mentions trees an argument ensues.But of course, this year was even better. This was the year of The Wall of Lights. It has been my practice for several years to have twinkling lights all along the white board fence, and a fully decorated Christmas tree in the middle of the property, but out of the reach of the Angus. Then I decided to string twinkly lights up in the branches of the trees, too. i planted poinsettia in every available spot, and stuck up some wreaths on the sides of the buildings. But it didnt seem enough. Why not, I thought, why not a solid Wall Of Twinkly Lights How beautiful it would be Alas it was not to be. Having been to dog shows the previous five weekends, I quickly discovered that during my absence some ill-mannered individuals had purchased all available twinkly lights actually, I was able to find fifteen strings, total, to add to the ones I already had, but it wasnt enough for my Wall of Lights. Watch next year, though next year Im planning aheadAnd speaking of planning ahead, everyone is excited about upcoming shows. The January Circuit kicks into gear this week then theres the Cow Palace, then the Garden and the APC Specialty, then the International, and a myriad of other shows to enter. The APC Specialty will again be held at the Roosevelt, this year on February 8th, with Morris Carson doing the Sweeps, and E. W. Tipton Jr. doing the regular classes. Dr. Samuel Draper will judge Showmanship. Entries are 14 Regular, 8 Sweeps, and they close January 21st so youd better hustle. For more information contact Pete Galindo, Show Secretary, 611 New York Street, El Paso, TX 79902. From what Ive heard, everybody and their brother will be there, and it promises to be a super time for all.And speaking of judging, judging from the quality weve seen lately, this year is going to be tough going forjudges and exhibitors alike but remember, no matter how hard you have to work for your wins, or how difficult your decisions in the ring, it could be worse...l could ask you to help with the WALL OF LIGHTSHappy New Year Our very best from everyone here to everyone out there.

I was widowed four years ago and do volunteer work at the Senior Centre near here. I was asked to bring my pet Peke, China Moon, so the folks in the Adult Day Care Centre could pet him. I had read of dogs going to rest homes, etc., but they were mixed breeds from the local Animal Shelter and I felt we should educate folks that our purebred dogs are just as friendly and as lovable, so I took him. I did not know I was opening a Pandoras box. In no time I needed help as Mrs. R. Ballinger of the Peke club here asked me to take over visits to the Joseph Morse Geriatric Centre for five months while she was up North.China Moon is only one small dog - in spite of his opinion that he is the biggest dog in town - and I felt that being petted by over two hundred patients was just too much for him so I asked for help from my club, Jupiter Tequesta Kennel Club. I asked for champions if possible and all groomed as for a show. At first they felt it was going to be a lot of work and believe me, it is, but they decided to help. Once they have gone with me they never refuse. All feel they are repaid fully by the looks on folks faces.Administrators are amazed we get patients to talk who have sat or lain silent for months. If we can give pleasure and also help them return to this world we know we have to do it.My usual team is made up of a Great Dane, German Shepherds, an Airedale, a Tibetan Terrier, Brittany Spaniel, Pugs, Yorkies, and my Peke. The dogs have never seen one another before and yet are one big happy family. I wish you could see a lady in a wheelchair with her arm around a Danes neck kissing it. I found my shepherds are really special - all from the Kleins kennel - we have had a 9 month old, a mother, a Grandma, and a great Grandma who is 10 years old - all looked so nice and enjoyed every minute.When we start I give a short talk on each dog, what country he originated from and what he has won in shows -1 give his show name and his call name. Our Yorkies are very popular and the residents laugh when I tell them one is called Karo for the syrup because she is so sweet. But our Pugs are a treasure. Corinne Black has one who like our audience is handicapped. Her name is Maggie and she only has three feet - but doesnt know she is different and folks say If SHE can get around without a foot, I guess Ill just have to try a little harder. They adore my pekes face and to be honest Im just a bit jealous as last week he was kissed four times and no one kissed meWe are getting more dates than we can cover but do our best and we all go home thanking God that he has given us his greatest gift - good health. We feel we are educating people that our purebreds are not mean and vicious as some seem to think. It seems we are about to expand our educational program as the School Board has approached me and would like a program on various breeds for Elementary School Students in 1987. Ill have to do a good job as my audiences will be 200 to 300 children each time.If anyone would like further information I will be glad to help. I can be reached at 305-842-4884.

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 UnitedEXHIBITOR.........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 December.. The Gazette year, as a rule, runs from about November of the previous year until September of the present calendar year.Points cure allotted to THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE DOG AT THE TIME OF COMPETITION.Statistician Susan Wade.

VATNT columnist Victoria Powell, noted English Toy BreederJudge Mrs. May Robertshaw, and friends. CALLEA photoHaving always been intrigued about the sport of purebred dogs in all countries, I especially enjoy visiting with dog fanciers from foreign lands. In November of this year, Mrs. May Robertshaw of Lotusgrange Pekingese , England, was in the States to judge a Specialty in New Jersey upon completion of her assignment, she journeyed to California to vacation with Mrs. Lucille Tulloch of Lafayette, California. Mrs. Tulloch was kind enough to allow us the opportunity to spend some time together.Within the tranquil setting of Lucilles home, I enjoyed a chat with this long-time Toy devotee. May Robertshaw has been breeding for 34 years, exhibiting for 32. Originally in Bulldogs, Mrs. Robertshaw has been involved with several different breeds she has bred andor shown Yorkies, Beagles, Toy Poodles, has been successful in Japanese Chins, but is probably best known for her well-known line of Lotusgrange Pekingese. Mrs. Robertshaw judged her first championship show in the early seventies, and has judged in America three times.In her career, Mrs. Robertshaw has many notable accomplishments, including her first Crufts Best of Breed winner, the bitch Ch. Jina of Lostusgrange, in 1963. She is the breederowner of the top producing Peke in England for 1983, Ch.Some Man of Lotusgrange, she has made up 6 British Champions and has two more currently on their way, plus 60 other Champions in numerous other countries. This may not sound like a lot of Champions to our minds until you look over the following account of the differences between their judging system and ours.In the U.S. we have hundreds of available shows and specialties with average total entries of about 1000 dogs and can feasibly finish a good dog quickly if we can find the points. Some of the largest shows in Britain claim total entries of over 10,000 dogs. In a small country like England that is incredible, but let this fact sink in - there are only 39 All Breed Championship shows in one year in England. That is only 39 chances in a year for a dog to win a C.C. Add to this the limited number of Specialty shows the few shows divided by the large number of average entries doesnt provide very good odds and gives us a new outlook on finishing a champion in Britain. But here is one more item that adds to the difficulty - in order to complete an English Kennel Club championship, a dog must obtain three C.C.s Challenge Certificates to earn a C.C. the dog must beat all dogs of his sex, including any Champions entered. It is not surprising that the C.C. is highly coveted.The Pom Reader January 1987 Continued next pageA CHAT WITH A BRITISH JUDGE ContinuedWhile conversing on adjudicating in Britain, I asked Mrs. Robert- shaw to tell us exactly what the requirements are for a judge to be approved. They are as follows The applicant must fill out the proper forms and have at least five years experience judging open shows. The applicant must have also judged at least one breed club open show. The remainder of the requirement states that the applicant must have done a reasonable amount of exhibiting and winning, preferably with some dogs from their own breeding program. Mrs. Robertshaw explained that the Kennel Club has no explanation for what they consider reasonable experience and that the Kennel Club tends to be rather autocratic. If your application is turned down they offer no explanation. Mrs. Robertshaw will be judging Crufts in February, 1987, but when we discussed the assignment, she stated that no one knows what criteria is used to choose judges for Crufts and recounted this amusing anecdote Once, when a Kennel Club chairperson was asked exactly how they choose judges for Crufts, his reply was Very carefully. There are two very important differences in Britains judge approval system vs. ours. They are 1 Britain does not require testing on general dog knowledge and 2 A JUDGE IN BRITAIN MUST BE RE-APPROVED for each championship show. They do not have to go through the entire process again, but a British judge is not approved to judge unlimited shows barring suspensions, radius conflicts, etc. as judges are here. Also, in Britain if a judge has not judged a championship show in seven years or more they must re-apply to become a judge.I have repeatedly referred to championship and open shows - the difference between them is this A championship show is the only place a dog can obtain C.C.s and all champions are finished from these shows. An open show, for which there is no parallel in our system, is run exactly like a championship show except that no C.C.s can be awarded. All championship judges can judge open shows, but open judges must apply to become championship judges. Americans who are not licensed to judge in America may ONLY JUDGE OPEN SHOWS in England. All-rounder judges in Britain must judge a specialty club open show in order to acquire each new breed. NINETY PERCENT of judges are specialists breederjudges if breed exhibitors have more then three all- rounders in a year they are upset, says Mrs. Robertshaw.Open show wins are prestigious and open shows enjoy large entries in Britain. They are a very important part of our system and can be used to win points towards a Junior Warrant which Mrs. Robertshaw explained is a special puppy championship earned before the dog reaches 18 months old. This is not to be confused with a regular championship and has no bearing on a dogs finishing later on. Open show wins give a pupy one point towards a Junior Warrant championship shows give three points. In our discussion of open shows, Mrs. Robertshaw emphatically refuted my erroneous assumption that open shows could be likened to a type of training ground...Absolutely not sol, she stated.Judges in England have a requirement upon completion of their assignment which would not be feasible in our country due to its immense size - each judge must write a critique on the dogs they judged. These critiques are then published weekly in Our Dogs and Dog World publications. A critique must contain a written appraisal of every first place winner from a championship show, and for open shows the critique must contain the written commentary on every first place winner as well as the names and owners of all second and third place winners. Mrs. Robertshaw tries to be fair in her written critiques - I will not damn anybodys dog in print. If there is something I dont like I wont mention it. you dont have to give the dog the win. She feels that a dog can be disadvantaged by a judge making the statement that X thing is wrong with the specimen, for other judges will read that statement and perhaps be influenced by it when they next judge the dog. Every judgesperception of what is correct will be different. The standard is used as a tool to guide but no two people can perceive exactly the same things when judging.A recent judging critique by a British judge writing on a specialty in the U.S. commented on the superior quality but poor presentation of his winner. I asked Mrs. Robertshaw if this was common practice to, in a sense, fault the owner or handler and she said that it was not unusual. The reason to make a statement such as that is not to hurt the presenter but hopefully to encourage them to improve their presentation techniques to better compete with the others. Mrs. Robertshaw further stated that although there are few professional handlers as we know them, in Britain the presentation quality of the experienced breeders is equally as competent as what we see here.Mrs. Robertshaw and I discussed the importation of British dogs into America. Not all breeds export as much as others, but her comments are relevant to ALL BREEDS and all countries. As someone who has, in her 30 plus years in dogs, exported many dogs, she offers these guidelines 1 Set in your mind an image of your conception of the perfect dog, then examine photos from the exporting country and try to find dogs that come close in appearance to what you desire. Note the breeders of these dogs and compile a list. 2 Next, research the pedigrees of the dogs that interest you, as well as researching others from the same lines. Check into dogs that have already been imported - do you like what you see 3 Now, from your list of breeders, write letters of inquiry and introduction, explain concisely what you want and that you would like to come see them. 4 Do not buy the first dog you see. Check around.Wait - did she mention visit Yes. Mrs. Robertshaw does not recommend an inexperienced importer buying a dog sight unseen. She makes this statement to explain herself Human nature being what it is, there will always be rubbish sold for big prices. I am sure that many of you have heard or experienced the story of the trip to the airport to pick up the Import only to find it to be a pet when you open the crate. Many times the novice importer will try a second time, perhaps from a different kennel, only to be disappointed again. By the time you get done with all the expenses, and taking into account that airfare can be very inexpensive, it is often times more cost efficient to go over and pick the dog yourself.Why do people sometimes get taken when importing Lets look at the process logically and honestly. If you were a breeder of many "stars and you received a letter from someone you had never heard of, requesting your best available dog, would you sell it or would you want to know more How do you know the person will ever do anything with the dog - you dont. It is a known fact that there are kennels that specialize in breeding litters for resale to other countries and quite often it is these kennel names that receive the most notoriety simply because of the volume they export, but that does not always make them the best. This is why you must research and preferably visit before you buy. Once you become experienced at the procedure, it may then be possible to purchase by mail.Mrs. Robertshaws explanation of the pitfalls of importation extends to another very important area - that of OPINIONS. What one may see as a lovely dog may not be anothers ideal. Mrs. Robertshaw noted numerous times that an American exhibitor will better know what should do well in this country than a foreign breeder who has never visited America. Therefore it can be impractical to expect the exporting breeder to pick a big winner for you, and if you are disappointed when the dog arrives, you must take all the above information into account. NO ONE KNOWS BETTER THAN THE BUYER what he wants.I would like to cordially thank Mrs. Robertshaw for spending so much time with me. We had an enjoyable as well as educational day. In a future issue we plan to have another British judge cover a show and all of its classes for us. Until next month - VLP15The Pom Reader January 1987GERMAN FEDERAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWDortmund, Germany by William LedbetterOctober 25 and 26 I attended the German Federal Championship Show at Dortmund, Germany, in the huge Westfaien- Halle or Hall of Westphalia. Over 60 of the top Spitz and Pomeranians now existent in Central Europe were shown there. Exhibitors even arrived from Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. The competition at this largest all-breed show on the continent with an entry of 5, 295 dogs was so keen that you could feel the electricity in the airThe Best of Breed in competition with all other varieties of German Spitz, against ail other color categories was won by a truly exquisite dark chocolate Kleinspitz bitch, Uschi vom Tannenhof, bred and owned by Mrs. Waltraud Omlin of Dortmund- Aplerbeck, West Germany. This bitch was 9.5 inches tall at the withers, 6 pounds in weight, beautifully balanced, with the most uniformly-colored dark chocolate harsh stand-off coat of perfect texture I ever saw.sg tW QBest of Breed winner,Uschi von Tannenhof The title Best White Kleinspitz was won by a male, Jim Edelweiss vom Haus Gohfeld, bred and owned by Mr. Karl Busse of Loehne, West Germany, at 81 years of age Germanys eldest breeder of the pure white Kleinspitz. Herr Busse is world-famous for developing the pure white Kleinspitz after the ravages of World War li and preventing this variety from becoming extinct. His daughter, Mrs. Ursula Niermeier of Herford, won the title Best Zwergspitz Pom sized, i.e. 3-5 pounds with Elke Edelweiss vom Haus Gohfeld, a darling, personality plus 3.5 pound bitch in pure white with the expressive jet-black pigmentation of nose and eye-rims - incompetition with all other colors black, chocolate, wolf-sable, even against orange and orange-sable British imports.Herr Busse with Jim Edelweiss vom Haus GohfeldElke Edelweiss vom Haus GohfeldThe title Best Giant German Black Spitz height 16-20 inches at the withers was won by a splendid male, Benni vom Schlosspark, bred by W. Meyer of Braunschweig and owned by Mrs. Margret Weihs of Kerpen Buir, West Germany.The title Best Giant German White Spitz height 16-20 inches at the withers went to a truly superb pure white male, Danny vom Seerosenweiher, bred and owned by Mrs. Eyke Schmidt-Rohde of Darmstadt- Arheilgen, West Germany. Winners Bitch went to Mrs. B. E. Zuidema of Haaksbergen, Holland. These two ladies are, as far as I know, the only two breeders of this larger white Spitz variety remaining in Central Europe. Unless something is done fast, the Black and the White Giant German Spitz varieties, due to zoning restrictions and space shortage here, will be extinct in a few years. It is such a shame that this will happen to the progenitor of allsmaller Spitz varieties, including our British and American Poms. Couldnt American Pomeranian fanciers, especially obedience enthusiasts, lend a swift helping handThis wolf-sable pup was born in a long black x black program of color breeding.This mammoth all-breed show, in which this year 5,295 dogs were entered, always well-organized under the auspices of the Federacion Internationale Cynologique FCI, or the equivalent of AKC would be quite delightful and interesting for American Pomeranian enthusiasts desiring International Titles. Occasionally, Americans stationed in Germany with the U.S. Armed Forces have shown their dogs here during their off-duty hours from the Military. American Pomeranian enthusiasts are especially welcomed by the German Spitz and Pomeranian Club Verein fuer Deutsche Spitze. There is no quarantine restriction for entry into Germany from the States all that is required is a veterinary rabies vaccination certificate and a statement signed by a veterinarian stating that 10 days before entry the dog is free from all contagious diseases.Chocolate, Black, and Pure White Zwergspitz the two on left did not place.The next gigantic show of this kind here will be the European Championship Show held on May 2 and 3, 1987, again at Dortmund, West Germany.

Be wary of those who dont make mistakes, for those people probably dont do anything. Only those who do something make mistakes. Of course, there are some that makefewer mistakes than others for the same amount of work. I have made my share, but feel consoled by the fact that I never made the same one twice. I keep telling myself, As long as I learn from those mistakes, it cant be that bad.This article will include mistakes that I and others have made concerning showing dogs. Some are humorous, others maddening. All of us probably wonder how on earth we could have possibly done a thing like that.Recently, I spoke with an exhibitor who said she pulled her dog on Saturday because there was no major. We both needed a major to finish our Pom. She would show hers Sunday, because there was a major. I mentioned the fact that I had a different dog and bitch entered the next day both needing a major to finish also. She said, Sally, I cant keep track of you. This reminded me of one of my earlier mistakes. Years ago, showing 2 males and entering them alternately at various weekend shows, got me in trouble. I neglected to check my entries. Just assumed I had one entered, when I actually had the other entered. In short, I brought the wrong dog to that weekend of dog shows. Now, I write the names of the dogs I enter in each show on my check stub, purse calendar and Premium list, all of which I keep in my purse.Always check to make sure you are taking the dogs entered. Make sure you dont leave without them.I heard of someone who loaded the crates, etc., in the car, started for the show and forgot to put the dogs in the crates. They had to drive back home after them.It is emergencies such as this, that may cause so much delay that Poms have already been judged before you even reached the show site. Other delays may be car trouble, traffic, illness, etc. Allow extra travel time. Did you ever show an ungroomed dog because you just got to the show site, grabbed the dog and ran to the ringNow, you are at the show and have everything together, you nonchalantly groom each Pom to perfection. You reach the ring just as your class is leaving. Now, what did I do wrong It may have been one of several things You may have read Sundays judging schedule instead of Saturdays. Oops, this is Eastern Standard time, not Central Standard time. Daylight Savings time just started and you forgot to change your watch It is not inconceivable that you circled the time on your Judging program and in carelessly checking it, 1245 looked like 245 and guess when you showed up ringsideI mentioned some of the things that might make you miss or nearly-miss your ring. Let us assume you are on time with your well- groomed Pom. You are ringside. Do you have your brush and bait in your pocket or did you leave it back on your grooming tableIf you are lucky, friends may let you have some of their bait. See how important it is to have friendsLet us assume you have two dogs and a bitch entered. Be sure your bitch is not taken into the dog class. Dont laugh, Ive seen it happen Be sure you have the correct armband on for the dog you take in the ring. Have the ring steward write the call name of the dog on the back of his arm band. Put the armband on your left arm in the class order in which the dogs are shown. Make sure that if Joe is entered in the Bred By Exhibitor class, you, as breeder, or an immediate member of your family, show Joe inthat class.Be sure you go in the ring with the right dog I have gotten winners points going Reserve Winners on four different occasions. It is unusual, but this is how it happened.1. A handler got two bitches shipped to be shown by him for the first time. One was entered as a Specials bitch, the other was entered as an Open bitch. He did not realize that he took the Specials bitch in open class and went winners bitch with it. My bitch went Reserve. His Open bitch was taken in as a Specials bitch and went Best of Opposite Sex. An exhibitor sitting ringside mentioned it. The handler checked on it. Sure enough The winners win was cancelled and Reserve Winner was credited with the points. The Best of Opposite Sex was also nullified.2. A bitch entered in Bred-By Exhibitor class was taken to the show and shown by a non-family friend because the breeder had an emergency at home. The BBE went winners I went Reserve. Winners bitch was nullified because it was handled by a non-family member in the BBE class. My RWB got the points.3. 4. A nice puppy bitch was entered in a divided puppy class, the wrong division for its age in two shows in which she went Winners. In fact, she went Best of Breed over specials for a major in one show. My bitch went Reserve winners at both of those shows.I was awarded the winners bitch points in those shows, but not the points the puppy bitch was awarded for going BOS or BOB beyond Winners Bitch. It was a shame. Those points were wasted. By the time I was notified, my bitch did not need any more two- point shows - only majors. Im sure that puppy finished shortly after that - she was exceptionalLast year a fairly new Pom exhibitor finished her first Champion and moved him up to Specials class. She went Best of Breed with him and stayed for Group judging. People were going into the Group ring, so she went in with them. She looked around, thinking there were some strange looking dogs in the ring with her...it turned out she was in the Hound Group\ Chuckle Chuckle No harm done.One more doozie on me I went to the dog show one hot July day in my shorts. I forgot to bring a pair of slacks or skirt along. Luckily, there was a friend in the Motor Home next to me who had an extra pair of slacks that fit me. If it werent for friends....If this article saves you from making some of these same mistakes, it has served its purpose. Novices are not the only ones to err - the old-timers have contributed their share, too Sally17EMCEES POMS14 years of breeding and raising Poms. Have bred and finished over 35 Champions.
