I announced our special Exotic Colors issue, but mistakenly said Black,Whites, Parti-Colors. The Chocolate People were incensed Of course, in recent times we have seen an increase in the number of chocolates around, and their devotees are raving about the quality to be found at present. Well, shame on me, but not to worry - you will see chocolates, all right, next month. But speaking of parti-colors reminds me of the plight I am now in.I had a weekend break not too long ago. There were three shows coming up and, optimistically, we had entered three dogs at each. And the entry came back one short of a major. And of course the dogs only NEEDED a major. I said to hell with it. We went to the beach.Now, I could write the book on beaches nobody is better than me when it comes to sun, surf and sand. Being an ex-lifeguard, I can never completely relax, but I need nothing when there is a beach nearby. No food, no books, no other people...thats the way I like it. Its been that way since I was two.And speaking of hotels and water reminds me of the time I was the Star of the Pompadour Beach Hotel. I call it the Pompadour, which is not its name, because it is still there. I went by recently and it has stumbled over the brink into seediness, but when I was the Star it was swanky as could be. Any time you went to the Pompadour Beach you saw ritzy people in minks and diamonds and all sorts of things. Even at the pool.But of course you never saw any other kids, because my parents were the only people in history to take children to the Pompadour Beach. But what did I care there was a pool, and the Beach, and I was happy as a fish. But I was not at all a source of pleasure to the Ladies Around The Pool. You do not have to go to the Pompadour Beach to find these people every resort on earth has its Pool People. They are not restricted to sex although at the Pompadour Beach they were all female but the common denominator is that THEY NEVER SWIM. They lie by the pool all day long, every day, and never go in. Understandably, I hated them.Precisely at eight a.m. each day I would approach the pool, making loud, flopping sounds with my flippers, and I would be greeted daily with a sea of tan frowns. Then I would hurl myself into the water, causing a tidal wave and shrieks all around. I had a great time until my mother ruined it. At the time, back home, I had the lead role in my schools musical Christmas pageant. I was to play to perfection, I must admit Sf. Joseph, which is typecasting of a brilliant nature. But I wasnt overly thrilled with the prospect I knew the Baby would steal the show. And so I had not been fastidious about working on my part while we were away. The Pom Reader August 1989My parents had a wonderful habit of taking vacations during regular school terms, for which I am grateful to this day as probably were my teachers. But one day, in all innocence, Mom came walking out to the pool and cornered me. Joey, she commanded, Dont forget to study your script.My position as Premier Irritant of the Pompadour Pool was inexorably altered. Forty heads swivelled as if yanked by strings. Forty pairs of bottle-green sunglasses were lifted up eighty eyes saw me in new light. Isnt that the kid from Lassie, the whispers said. He was in Sound of Music No, thats Spin from Spin Marty...I was suddenly the Golden Boy of the Beach all the Pool Ladies were nice to me and bought me lemonade and even giggled when I splashed them. It ruined all my fun. It was simpler to behave.But that was just one time at the Pompadour back at home, every summer, there was a Pool Person who drove us to distraction. A lady belonged to our club who also never swam, but she was so shriekingly obvious in her non-nautical pursuits that we wanted to kill her. We called her Cleopatra, and her yellow Cadillac convertible was, of course, Cleopatras Barge. She was more predictable than the sunshine. Every day from nine to five Cleopatra greased herself up and glistened by the diving tank. Her hair was always perfect, not a strand out of place. Every hour she would stand up, stretch, and glide around the poolside decks. Every thirty minutes she would reapply ointment. But never two days in a row did she wear the same swim suit. For some reason that infuriated us, and at nine years of age we devised all manner of ingenious methods to knock her into the deep end. You pretend to slip, then bump into me, then well grab her and kersplashl, we would giggle. Or Pretend youre drowning and well grab the hook and accidently catch her around the neck. Then its into the Drink, we would chuckle. We would plan for days on end, but nobody but me ever had the guts to really capsize Cleopatra, and I was far too much of a gentleman to ever pull it off...alone. But one day Cleopatra stopped and talked to me, and she was absolutely charming. Demurely, she said she admired my swimming ability and regretted that she had never learned. That took the fun out of it but good.This last trip to the beach there was no Cleopatra, nor anybody else much. People are too smart to tangle with the Florida sun in July. But Ive always been blessed with skin that tans fast and deep, so I never really worry about exposure. Until now. My second day at the beach my skin was black as midnight unfortunately I did it too quickly and now some of it has fallen off. How embarrassing.Hand me the Solarcaine.

Boy, was I ever surprised when our veterinarian, Dr. George Meerhoff, told me that 3 people in our area are affected and gave me several articles on the subject. Another article, in a recent newsletter published where I work, shed more light on the subject.Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey have the highest incidence of reported cases. No cases have been reported in Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska and Hawaii. The remaining states show light to moderate incidence. About 90 of the cases have occurred in California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin. To date 13,000 cases have been diagnosed. About 5,000 of these occurred in 1988 over twice the number reported the previous year. This country is not the only one affected. The disease, though not always attributed to the same source, has been observed in Europe since the turn of the century and is known to exist on all continents except Antarctica.Lyme Disease in humans was first diagnosed in 1975 in Lyme, Connecticut, from which it took its name. In 1982 the cause was found to be the borrelia burgdorferi, a spirochete bacteria. At first, the deer was thought to be the bacterias host and that it was transmitted to other species such as pets and people by the deer tick. It appears now, however, that other life forms are hosts of the bacteria and young ticks also. In the East white-footed mice are culprits. A different species of deer ticks carries the disease in the West where lizards and jackrabbits are the main host. The life cycle of the tick consists of the egg, larvae, nymph, and tick. Adult ticks need the white-tail deer to survive. Adult ticks feed and breed on the deer and drop off to lay the eggs. The eggs hatch into larvae. These become infected by feeding on white-footed mice and molt to become infected nymphs. Nymphs grow to young ticks and to adulthood, and all three of these stages can infect mammals and birds with their bites. Between 70 and 90 of the cases of Lyme Disease in humans is attributed to nymph bites. These buggers just sit in the grass and hook onto you or your pet as you pass.Since the spirochete bacteria can penetrate the skin, you dont need to be bitten by an infected tick to contract the disease. Dr. Willy Burgdofer in Montana, who first isolated the bacteria, contracted Lyme Disease when an infected rabbits urine splashed in his eye. Dr. Elizabeth Burgess, a veterinarian in Wisconsin, reports that it is possible to become infected from contact with horse or cow urine. Another veterinarian, Dr. Fred Guenther in Pennsylvania recommends removing ticks with tweezers to avoid contact with the ticks internal body fluids and states that contact with blood when field-dressing a deer could be a hazard. One case of Lyme Disease in Texas and one in Wisconsin are attributed to a cat flea bite.The Pom Reader August 1989In dogs the disease results in arthritis leaving the animal permanently crippled. Treatment and recovery are possible. The longer treatment is delayed, however, the less likely the recovery. In dogs, symptoms include fever, loss of appetite, and sometimes swollen glands. Since these symptoms are also associated with other disorders, it is wise to suggest that your veterinarian consider Lyme disease as a possible cause and that blood serum tests be performed.Lyme disease in humans can result in numbness, tingling, seizures, impaired vision, and cardiac damage. In pregnant women fetal damage, stillbirth, and miscarriages are possible. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid these serious conditions. Treating adults with tetracycline or doxycycline are effective in the earliest stages of the disease and penicillin is used in children and pregnant women. Due to the genetic make-up of the patient or the strength of the bacteria, however, these may not be effective in preventing later development of more serious symptoms. A new antibiotic, Rocephin, that can penetrate the blood- brain barrier and kill bacteria there, may offer new hope.Symptoms are many and varied, but as is the case with animals, most are common to other causes. Additionally, those that are related more closely with Lyme disease are not always evident. Bulls-eye rash, flu-like chills, fever, headache, and fatigue may appear. Dizziness, a stiff neck, swollen and painful joints, and arthritis are also among the precursors. Add to these heart arrhythmia, weakness in the legs, facial paralysis, and general numbness and you can see why diagnosis is difficult and reported cases may only be the tip of the iceberg.To a large extent Lyme disease can be prevented. Check animals and their quarters for ticks frequently and keep them off furniture. Do not let them run in areas where deer are common. Some sources recommend using flea and tick collars on your pets.Avoid wooded or grassy areas if possible particularly between May and August when nymphs are most active. If in those areas, cover normally exposed skin wear light-colored clothing with long sleeves and pant legs. Tuck pants into socks and do not wear sandals. Insect repellants containing deet are suggested also. Check yourself for nymphs and ticks and remove any with tweezers remember, the ticks body fluids can transmit the disease through your skin. If you think you have been exposed, check with your doctor and follow the course prescribed.See you next time Bob Schuerch o 1 it r r c s t j J n n t c r n i i a n sSUN RAYS STACYCh.

It was a very successful event with the judges being Mrs. Victor Olmos Ollivier for the Regular Classes and Mr. Francis Wright doing the Sweepstakes.At 1200 Mr. Wright started our show by judging Sweepstakes. A Pom breeder, Mr. Wright knew what he liked and looked for it. He was rewarded with an entry of 12 puppies. As there were 2 absentees, he had 3 handsome males and 7 pretty females from which to make his selection.

She was handled by Donna Megenhardt from Ohio. For Best of Opposite Sex to Best in Sweepstakes he chose a cream male, Dan-Ds Tiny Jack Frost, bred by Dorothy Baumgardner and owned by Dorothy Barnes. He was handled by Lori Carlton from Michigan.After the picture taking, Mrs. Victor Olmos-Ollivier, very neat and very much a lady, entered the ring and went to work. With 4 absentees, she was presented with 9 dogs and 19 bitches to select Winners Dog and Winners Bitch. Going over the dogs thoroughly, but gently, as our little friends should be treated, she made her selections. Winners Dog, Dias Mr. Brandon Bear, bred and owned by David Hogg. He was handled by Paula McBay from Indiana.

Only this publications will be used for point credit. Many times the actual show dates will vary from the date of publication i.e., a September show may notbe published until November. The Gazettes calendar year runs from about October of the previous year until September of the present calendar year.Points are allotted to the REGISTERED OWNER OF THE DOG ON THE DAY OF COMPETITION.

BITCH---------------------------------------------------------------- by Pam GuevaraI recently read a series of articles penned by a fairly well-known dog authority, in which he gave the bitches in a kennel credit for everything short of getting themselves in whelp. He stated that bitches are responsible for at least 75 of the quality of the litter, does his breeding strictly on the lines of great bitches mostly his own, and I dont care much for the dog.Horsefeathers. Although this interview went further out of the ballpark than most, I still found it to follow the fashionable trend of stressing the bitch in the kennel and reducing the value of the stud dog that services her.Over the years I have heard people was lyrical over the importance of the quality of the bitch in a breeding program. I dont disagree. But 50 of her came from her father who was probably a better specimen than her mother, and 50 of her pups genetic background will come from their sire who hopefully will be a better specimen than their mother.I happen to hold a very unfashionable opinion about dog breeding. If I was offered my choice between an outstanding bitch who is a top producer, or a dog of the same caliber and talent, I would not hesitate an instant in selecting the dog. Why Because although the bitch might influence my own kennels record, a good stud would have an even stronger impact over a period of time. And studs influence the breed as a whole, unlike a bitch whose impact is far more limited.Now, before someone starts a debate of chicken-and- egg variety he also had a mother, I ask you to quickly name a bitch who had a wide influence on the course of the breed...Now, name a stud dog, or dogs, who did the same. The simple truth is that the bitches who have had the greatest influence on a breed happen to be the dams of the greatest stud dogs. And in all likelihood, nice though she might have been, these dams were probably put to sires who were superior examples of the breed when compared to herI know there are many breeders and judges who consider it a healthy state of affairs when the quality of the bitches in the ring outstrips that of the dogs. Myself, I wonder just who all these outstanding young ladies are going to get married off to when the time comes The inferior dogs Get real I was told early on that the best way to improve was to always breed up. Put your bitch to the best possible dog available. You never take a bitch to a dog who is inferior in quality to her. Thats not how you improve a breed and we all know it Ill even go so far as to state that I consider it kind of a waste when I see a really outstanding bitch. As a friend of mine once commented while we were viewing a stunning bitch who was racking up a tremendous record, Too bad shes not a dog. Id put every bitch in my kennel to her if she were. So, are the bitches in your kennel important to your sucThePom Reader August 1989cess Undeniably so.
