What qualifies me to compile a special female edition of the PR I know a lot about girls. In fact, I was one once, and once was more than enough. And now that the scandals out, I am forced to tell about one Halloween that was, indeed, a drag.There was a costume party planned, to be hosted by a kid I could not tolerate. Still cant. About eight years ago I was in a restaurant with friends when he and his wife joined our party. I got up and left. We were, I guess, what could be called rivals, and competition between us was fierce. And so it was with considerable skullduggery that we ascertained his plans for the evening in an effort to outdo.My best friends girlfriend and the creeps girlfriend had been friends at one point we sent her out to glean the necessary information. She produced beautifully, and promptly The guys planned to wear their girls cheerleader outfits, and the girls would wear their football uniforms. They planned to be the hit of the evening, and win the award for Best Costume. We were determined to put a stop to that, and so we hit upon a marvelous plan they could be ditzy little cheerleaders we would be Sluts. And our girlfriends would be our, well, procurers.Gleefully we mapped out our strategy much preparation had to be made. The girls would simply wear suits with black shirts and white ties and hats where we got that idea, I have no idea. For us two guys, however, it was a little trickier. Being built more like Rocky than Rockettes, we had our work cut out. We enlisted help from all quarters far removed from school and our intended victims.A woman I worked with offered the use of wigs, she had a bunch of them. Another acquaintance offered the use of tawdry-looking clothing -1 wont tell where 1 knew her from. We searched for a large lady to provide shoes - the local bakery had one, and she lent us high heels. But they were still too small and my feet have never been the same. The girls offered to do makeup. We were all set. And the night of the Lend-Lease Ladies of the Evening loomed ever nearer.But we were lacking what to us seemed to be the main ingredient, if we were to be ruthlessly alluring and able to drive men to distraction. I came up with the solution to that. Water balloons. And the very largest intime apparel on the market. If she could have The Pom Reader November 1990seen us, Dolly Parton would have retired.As the time came to leave we were losing our nerve. We called our dates Im not sure this is such a good idea, my friend Steve said. What, are you chicken, asked his girlfriend, KC. Us - NEVER We proceeded with the plan.First we tried to sneak out of the house unseen by neighbors or my parents, no mean feat. Imagine, if you will, two high school seniors, six-foot and six-foot one, respectively in stocking feet, teetering down an icy drive on four-inch heels, mini-skirted, bewigged, bebreasted and trying to be bewitching. We somehow made it to the car and here was a miscalculation of major proportions.The proportions we had assumed for the evening made it difficult to drive. I kept getting myself tangled up in the steering wheel and the shoulder harness, and, to top it off so to speak, I was driving a five-speed. With an upper structure like that, it would behoove one to drive an automatic. But things were already rolling there was no stopping us.We arrived at Kathys house and she and KC did, indeed, look like pimps. We were hustled into the bath to have the makeup properly applied. But the girls were giggling so hard their aim was off, and Kathy got black goop in my contact lenses. As a result, for the rest of the evening everyone looked beach-brown, when in actuality, in Wisconsin, in October, very few yvere. But we got that over with and came out for inspection by Kathys parents and their dinner guests, none of whom had missed a martini. The husband of one couple made a very sexist comment which I believe made for a very frosty weekend for him from his wife. But we were pronounced perfect. We left for the party.And of course the first thing I did was to get picked up for speeding. The policeman approached the car and said, May I see your drivers license, Maam. I knew I was in for trouble. He looked at the license, did a double-take, then shined his flashlight in my face. I offered, Er, well you see, sir, its Halloween... and he countered, deadpan, Halloween was Tuesday. I started to say,FROM THE EDITORwell, I know, but Catholic kids cant go out on school nights and anyways I didnt plan the stupid party and Id just as soon go home right now but he smiled and said, Just take it easy from now on. MAAM And then he burst out laughing. But I was up to the challenge. I yelled, Men Theyre all alike. And quickly - slowly - drove away.So that put a little fire under me, which was lucky as the other three were having second thoughts. We got to the party and nobody would get out of the car, so I went alone. I wobbled and jiggled up to the door and rang the bell. The creeps mother - who I liked - answered the door. Her jaw hit the front porch. I smiled coquettishly I thought and falsettoed, Johnny didnt show up for our date, so I thought Id come over here. She beat a hasty retreat and the next thing I saw was Johnny with a pom-pom, pigtails and hairy legs approaching the door with a scowl on his face. And underdeveloped anatomy.We hit the party four abreast and blew them all away. We brought down the house and not only won Best Costume, but also I was awarded Best Legs. So there, John.Shows are gearing back up and the rush is on to finish another Champion and rack up another Group before the final holiday of the year, Christmas. I will see you at ringside but I wont be wearing heels. And the best reason for that is that that particular night had a very sad ending.Having foiled the plans of the enemy, we split to make an appearance at the drive-in which was my schools hangout, with most of the other revelers in hot pursuit. But there was a bee in the brassiere, so to speak. An envoy from the enemy camp proved to be our undoing. Or more exactly, the safety pin she wielded did us in.It was in the parking lot, where we were holding court, whence came the attack. Quick as a wink, she struck and retreated, four quick pricks and she was gone. We exploded. Water went everywhere. And it was thirty degrees, so we were not only flat, we were frozen. We quickly made for home, wet and wild, our bubble having been burst. All our careful plans were a bust, so to speak. But I got her back in spades.If youre ever in a phone booth in Madison, Wisconsin, and read the writing on the wall, and it says, For a good time, call Beth, 44-D, and a phone number, youll know who did it. The Guy with the Gams.Until next month, best of luck in the ring and in the whelping box. Just dont come around me with the mascara. JMcGSimo-nis Pomeranians'.Ch.

As most all serious Pomeranians 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 this area. The procedures for tallying the point scale are as follows Exhibitors are credited with all AKC Championship points won in the calendar year, as published in the AKC Show, Obedience, and Field Trials Awards Book. Only this publications will be used for point credit. Many times the actual show dates will varyfrom the date of publication i.e., a September show may not be 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. Statistician Susan Wade.

HurleyJupiter, FloridaPresented Loved ByGloria SetmayerParamus, NJThe Pom Reader November 1990Tom Gravesif le cck TARGET TEST VAGINAL CYTOLOGY There is nothing on Earth like a puppy. I am having a wonderful time with my new litter. Those babies are...well...What can I say Theyre incredible.This months column is about puppies. Specifically, it is about how to determine the optimal time for breeding, and how to predict, with accuracy, when the litter of puppies will be born.I get a kick out of talking with dog breeders about their bitches seasons and pregnancies. People seem to think that some of their bitches are likely to have gestations lasting as few as 59 days, while others have longer pregnancies lasting up to 65 days. Most breeders count their gestational lengths from breeding dates to whelping dates. Thats why there is so much variation in gestational duration. Wouldnt it be nice to know with greater accuracy when a litter of puppies would be born It is possible if you can detect not when breeding occurs, but when ovulation occurs. As an added bonus, if you know when ovulation occurs, you should also know the best time for breeding. In order to understand this, well need a little background information on the hormonal changes that occur during the estrous cycle and their relationships to some of the pivotal events that occur.If you look at Figure 1 you will notice, first of all, that the length of proestrus the period during a bitchs cycle which precedes ovulation is highly variable. In the normal bitch, proestrus can range from 5 to 18 days in length. Sometimes it is even longer. Estrogen levels always rise at the start of a bitchs season. It is estrogen which is responsible for most of the external signs of heat. For example, the bloody discharge from the vagina, flagging, attraction of male dogs, and vaginal cytology changes are all estrogen-dependent. Unfortunately, ovulation and conception have nothing The Pom Reader November 1990to do with estrogen at all. Therefore, it is possible that a bitch might come into season, flag, be bred by a male who is very interested in her, and even have vaginal smears done which indicate peak fertility without ovulating and getting pregnant. How many times have you heard this story from breeders I have heard it many times.At any rate, if you know when the LH surge occurs, you know within one day when your litter will be bom, and you know when ovulation will occur and, consequently, you know the best time to breed.What if, for instance, a bitch has a particularly long season If a bitch has a proestrus which lasts 18 days, she will not ovulate until the 20th day of her season. Since it takes 2 days for an egg to mature and become ready for fertilization see Fig. 1, if this particular bitchs owner were to breed her on days 9,11, and 13 of her season, as is a commonpractice, the bitch would not become pregnant. Sperm remains viable for 6 days at the very most once a bitch has been inseminated. As you can see, in this situation, it is critical to know when and if ovulation occurs. To guard against this happening, it is good to breed a bitch every other day throughout the length of her season. This, however, is very inconvenient, especially if a bitch is shipped to an outside kennel for breeding.Rather than depending on estrogen- dependent external signs, it would be great, as you can see in Figure 1, if we could detect when the leutenizing hormone LH surge occurs. By convention, the day of the LH surge is referred to as day 0. As you can see, ovulation occurs 2 days after the LH surge. After roughly another 2 days, the egg is ready to be fertilized. At 63 days after ovulation day 65 the puppies are ready to be born. There is almost no variation from this scenario. Only a small percentage of litters will be born at day 64 or 66. At any rate, if you know when the LH surge occurs, you know within one day when your litter will be born, and you know when ovulation will occur and, consequently, you know the best time to breed.Unfortunately, measuring LH is difficult, and there are no external signs of LH changes in a bitch. However, we can measure progesterone. Fortunately, progesterone begins to rise see Fig. 1 on the day of the LH surge, day 0, and stays high throughout most of gestation.Figure 1 Hormonal Changes During the Estrous Cycle In The Bitch kProgesteroneEstrogen Leutenizing HormoneLH SurgelOvulationPeakFertility-L I -l I IWhelping-18 to -5DaysProestrus.-4 -3 -2 -1Estrus................................................. Diestrus.65Figure 1 Hormonal changes during the estrous cycle in the normal bitch. Note that the period prior to the LH surge can vary greatly. Note further that the LH surge is synchronized with the initial rise in progesterone. Ovulation occurs at 2 days after the LH surge. The diestrus shift occurs at day 8. Whelping occurs at day 65 1 day.There is a test which has recently been developed which can tell you when your bitchs progesterone begins to rise. To perform the test, a small blood sample must be collected. Every other day the blood is sampled for the initial rise in progesterone which will indicate that the LH surge has occurred. The test, called the Target Test Figure 2 is available as a kit. Each kit contains the materials necessary to perform 12 blood tests, certainly enough to monitor a bitch for at least one season. The test was developed by a company called eg International Canine Genetics in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and is available to veterinarians. The tests are easy to perform and are reliable but there is, as always, a downside. Using the Target Test is expensive for the breeder. First of all, the veterinarian must purchase the kit that will probably cost the consumer about 100. Secondly, the breeder must bring the bitch to the vets office every other day until she ovulates. Each visit will include blood collection its really not very traumatic and possibly a vaginal smear. The cost could add up. Therefore, it is only economical to use the Target Test if you have a bitch that has had a lot of trouble getting pregnant,or if you have a particularly important breeding and you just cannot afford for the bitch to miss.The Target Test3The Target Test . Available to veterinarians from International Canine Genetics, Malvern, Pennsylvania. This test detects the rise in progesterone which heralds ovulation.I recently used the Target Test on my own bitch. I wanted to breed her to a dog in the Philadelphia area, a 6-hour drive from Ithaca. My little bitch is not just a brood bitch to me. She is my pet. She lives in my house and eats in my kitchen- and sleeps on my bed, and I was not about to put her in an airline crate andship her off to Philadelphia to spend a couple of weeks away from home. The bitch probably would have been fine, but I would have been a wreck. I am very busy in Ithaca and could not get more than one day off, so I had to know when the bitch ovulated. As it turns out, she had a very long season. She did not ovulate until the 21 st day of her season I bred her on the 23rd day of her season. She had her puppies late on day 64. She would have had them on day 65 as predicted, but she had a C-section as soon as her temperature dropped. She had very large puppies - all of which were upside down and in a breech presentation I did ultrasound - so I decided not to risk a natural delivery. Thats another topic. Some of my breeder friends thought I was crazy to wait so long to breed my bitch. I was waiting for her to ovulate. When I explained this to the people who attended my seminar in Pittsburgh this year, I drew gasps from the audience. Then I boldly told them my puppies would be born either on the night of September 1 or the morning of September 2. Well, I blew it. We did a C-section and the puppies were born on the afternoon of September 1. So sue me.The Pom Reader November 1990149Figure 3 High-power magnification of large intermediate cells.

Center A vaginal smear from the same bitch during estrus. Most of the cells are cornified. Note also the clumping together of cornified cells. Right This photomicrograph depicts the diestrus shift. Note that no cornified cells are found.Vaginal CytologyThere is another way to tell when a bitch ovulates, and that is by performing vaginal smears. Smears are very easy to learn to do. You should ask your veterinarian if her or she will teach you. All you need is a long cotton-tipped swab, a glass slide, some stain new methylene blue is sufficient, and a microscope.When you are reading smears you should look for two kinds of cells, either large intermediate cells Figure 3 or cornified cells Figure 4. Intermediate cells have a larger nucleus and rounded edges. I refer to them as fried eggs. Cornified cells have jagged edges and shrunken nuclei. I refer to these cells as corn flakes. At the beginning of a bitchs season, there are no cornified cells. When greater than 90 percent of the cells are cornified, it is a good time to breed. When estrus ends and diestrus begins, the cell population switches very suddenly from corn flakes back to fried eggs. This is called the diestrus shift and it always occurs 8 days after the LH surge. If you know when day 8 is, you The Pom Reader November 1990can count backwards to day 2 to figure out when ovulation occurred. You therefore know when your puppies will be due. Unfortunately, cornification of cells has no relationship to ovulation. The smears can tell you its time to breed well before a bitch ovulates. For this reason, it is important to keep breeding a bitch until the smears tell you it is noVaginal smears do not tell you with certainty when is the best time to breed. They only tell you when it is not the time to breed.longer the time to breed. Vaginal smears do not tell you with certainty when is the best time to breed. They only tell you when it is not the time to breed.As an example, look at Figure 5. The panel on the left was taken from a bitch during proestrus. The center panel shows a population of mostly cornified cells. This lasted for a number of daysand signifies estrus, the time to breed. The panel on the right shows the diestrus shift. Notice that the cornified cells have disappeared. This occurs on day 8. The bitch had her puppies 57 days later on day 65, as expected.One of these days, Ill have to write more on vaginal cytology. There is just one thought I want to leave you with. There are many clinical cases of infertility in bitches of every breed. These cases can be difficult to diagnose and treat. However, by far the overwhelmingly most common cause of infertility in the bitch is simply breeding the bitch at the wrong time of her season. Ive heard breeders say they have a stud dog who is never wrong and always knows when a bitch is ready to be bred. Most of the time, a good stud dog does know when to breed, but he can be fooled. Ill reiterate what I said earlier You cannot depend on estrogen to tell you when to breed. Estrogen is what the stud dog is reacting to. The only way to know exactly when the optimal time for breeding occurs is to know when the bitch ovulates.See you next time.DTom GravesPRESENTINGFAUNTINE CHATTER BOXI A. . l"III Iim.w- ^ 4TijkGOVSSECOND PUCTM'msssffccdttMBER 15.1990i -...........-mas phototf^ IkBf-MAf BALLADEER DE FAUNTINE X SWEETHEARTS FAUNTINE FLIRTSweet Pea is shown winning States KC Puppy Group 2 at the Maryland Sporting Dog Association on 915.

Non-show season makes it worse. At the shows either something interesting happens or someone comes up to tell you of an idea they would like to see in print. Gracias to all who DO When you sit around home it is difficult.Did I sat sit I must be dreaming of heaven. With 11 adult dogs, 8 juvenile delinquent puppies, 1 resident holy-terror cat, 3 fish tanks, a Cockatiel whos in love with a Parakeet and 4 to 40 pet rats, dependent on how many rodent litters were bom last night, who has time to sit I have a 23-year-old daughter who happens to like rodents. Her pet rats are docile, rather pretty creatures, once you get past their ugh tails, and seldom cause problems - until one decides to take an escape escapade. With 3 sofas, 4 chairs and about 100 books in the family room this can be a problem After you move all the furniture and the books and cant find the escapee you get smart and bring in the cat, who nose just where the culprit is hiding...and then the scramble beginsWhich brings me to wondering why they call animals dumb. If theyre so dumb how come it is me who pays for the lams, Kal Kan, cottage cheese, liver, hot dogs, Jerky strips, squeaky toys and balls washes the feedwater bowls, kennel mats, towels bathes, blow-dries and brushes the doggy coats, and keeps their area of the house Arctic cold in summer and Hades hot in winter while I scrimp on my electric bill by sweating or freezing in my end of the houseAnd speaking of rats, as we were earlier, wouldnt it be super neat if we could genetically incline our toy breeds to do what the rodents do They can eat absolutelyanything with no digestive upsets and even a dwarf rat bom to normal-sized parents can give birth to a litter of 15 without a whimper. And if 2 female rats occupy the same cage they will share the nursing and care of the young, whether they both have young or only one does. It is something to see a rat sitting on 34 babies - not all her own, of course - and then turn a glazed eye on your Pomeranian dams who would not dream of freewhelping one pup, much less fifteen and would never sit on any pup by her v-e-r-y ownNow that our writers block is wearing off lets get into some mind-boggling request that come from potential Pom owners. Here is a composite of some letters received in the pastI am new to dogs. I have, however, recently bought 2 females, one linebred on the famous MISHMASH kennels and the other a cross between the DOOLITTLE and SUMTIMES-DOES lines. I need a male who will blend with these girls. I am prepared to pay according to the number of champions in the pedigree if all the dogs in the pedigree are champions I will pay a little more. To me color is immaterial but all my stud customers request orange so I would prefer orange. Wait a minute here if youre new to dogs where did you get the stud customers I would like a male weighing 4 pounds, give or take a pound. I am not interested in a puppy male I want one who is at least 10 months old and preferably one who is a proven stud who breeds on his own. I would hope he has both his marbles but if he only has one I will take him but I will pay less. If he doesnt have any marbles I dont want him. I want a head study and silhouette full color photo and a video of him in action. What kinda action are we talkin here I will return these if you enclose SASE forsame If the male has already been shown and has a point or two that would be a big plus. I am a novice at showing, in fact I have never been to a show, but I plan on getting into that real soon and if the male is ring trained that would help me to get started. This might help you too, as if I finish him YOU will get some of the recognition. R-E-A-L-L-Y Oh, just so you will know, I am writing to 20 other breeders and I guess you will understand by that to send the best pedigree and photos you have. Sure will - Ill make up an all-champion pedigree first thing tomorrow and send you a photo of Prince Charming...Of course, the REAL mind boggier was this one l am looking for a Goldie Hawn. The move star or the top winning female I saw her once and this is what she looked to me She had no legs Of course not, she was bom equipped with roller skates, she had realy heavy bone Are we talking a lot of leg coat or a Shetland pony, she was blond You ARE talking about the movie star, she had no back Then you wont be needing that saddle I was gonna sell you, her face was a cross between my 3-year- old sons teddy bear and my 5-year-old daughters baby doll Is that Cabbage Patch or Barbie, and she has more hair than Lady Godiva... Does that mean people will turn their heads the other way when she rides through town naked after whelping her puppies....Of course, it is assumed that the last request was not directed towards the BREEDER of lovely Goldie because the re- questee hoped to luck onto a similar beauty for a fraction of the cost...call OLYMPIA anything but please dont call her stupid...Until the dog howls again...OLYMPIA AKJA Lois CilibertoThe Pom Reader November 199021Rain Beau PomeraniansHome ofAmerican Canadian Ch.

Pattys Canine Catering business triples this time of the year. But right on schedule arrives one of her puffy pink envelopes, stuffed to overflowing with some new and innovative recipes to set the feet a dancing and make each and every canine in Condon lick their lips in festive anticipation of Thanksgiving.Pattys career as a canine caterer was a natural for her as she was born wearing the most impeccable white apron over her bright red dress. From the start, it was noted that she had a canine sense of style and taste not seen in many years.While her siblings and friends romped and played away their days in the garden, Patagonia planned picnics. Even as a plump puppy her recipe for Ants in your Pants Gizzard Snaps was widely acclaimed by the pups in her neighborhood. Within a year Patagonia was a renowned canine hostess in this neck of the woods...Alas, Pattys gourmet skill outgrew Condon, so she has moved to ply her craft in Portland, leaving all her country canine cohorts behind with the knowledge that her heart and her style were forged here.So none were surprised when that envelope arrived, addressed to al the culinary canines in Condon. The return address readPARTIS BY PATAGONIA Portland, OregonOnce again Patty has simply outdone herself with the most scrump-diddlyThePom Reader November 1990umptious holiday fare ever.
