There is no need to push and shove, however, for my Christmas list is extensive and runs the gamut from Things That I Would Like To Have, to Things That I Would Like To Have Very, Very Much. And almost every item fits the category of Things I Cant Afford.Of course, I must admit I am troublesome to buy for, and am rather a sneak when it comes to finding out what lies beneath the gift wrap. No one has ever been able to surprise me. And once I was able to surprise the Gift Giver.I was driving by the best department store in town, and saw a familiar car in the parking lot. Oh ho, I thought, somethings coming from Fancy Dans, which is not its name but which will have to suffice. I swiftly drove home, called the store, and by use of the account number and a couple of lies was able to ascertain what I was getting for Christmas. And that it was to be gift-wrapped and delivered to me. It was a pretty nice gift, I had to admit. I decided to have a little fun.I changed the color, style, and brand of the item in question. I added a couple of accessories which had been overlooked by the original buyer, then a new set of cufflinks to complete the ensemble, thereby running up the cost of the gift by about 150 percent. I had it packed up, wrapped real nice, and sent to me posthaste.Christmas Eve arrived and friends gathered to open gifts, taking turns. Everyone oohed and aahed over presents I gave -1 do have excellent taste. I saved my Fancy Dan package for last. I uncorked the traditional bottle of champagne, took center stage and opened my gift. You should have seen the look on Duanes face when the contents were revealed.I waited four months to explain - the poor guy was going nuts, thinking he had finally flipped over the edge into insanity, so I took pity and confessed. He was disgusted, and ever since has tried harder and harder to give me gifts about which I have no prior knowledge.Speaking of which, if you still havent finished your Christmas shopping, heres a little help, sent to me by Kathy Masilla.Another problem at Christmas is the eternal question...Whats a good gift for my doggy friends After searching around, I came up with the following books as a suggestion. Some of them Ive mentioned The Pom Reader December 1990.... anotherfancier.must have for any serious dogbefore, but all of them are real goodies and serve a real purpose in helping to breed better dogs. I know Tom Graves mentions two of my favorites in his column this month, The Merck Veterinary Manual and Dog Owners Home Veterinary Handbook. The following are more of my favorite books and brief descriptions of their contents.The New Knowledge of Dog Behavior byClarence J. Pfaffenburger, published by Howell Book House, Inc., 730 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10119. Fourteenth printing 1977. One of the best books published on dog psychology.Dogsteps Illustrated Gait At A Glance byRachel Page Elliott, also published by Howell Book House. Seventh Printing, 1981. There is a later edition of this book called The New Dogsteps, but the objective is the same...to show how and why dogs move the way they do. This book is a must for any would-be breeder andor exhibitor.Dog Breeding For Professionals by Dr.Herbert Richards. Published 1978 by TFH Publications, Inc., 211 West Sylvania Ave., P.O. Box 27, Neptune City, NJ 07753, and its companion, Canine Reproduction, A Breeders Guide by Phyllis A. Holst DVM, published by Alpine Publications, Inc., 214 19th St. SE, Loveland, CO 80537. These are two extremely good books on breeding and whelping. I recommend them both, as each book contains valuable information. The first book is written more simply but has many good photographs, while the second goes into more detail, and is more up-to-date.Canine Terminology by Harold R. Spira, published by Howell Book House. 1982. This is a book for the consummate dog fancier, and for those who simply wish to learn. There is an excellent glossary of words ai phrases, technical and semi-technical, us4cL^ by dog fanciers. The illustrations, done by Mary Peggy Davidson, are both attractive and accurate, and help make this bookVeterinary Clinical Parasitology, Fifth Edition, by Margaret W. Sloss, BS, MS, DVM, and Russell L. Kemp AB, PhD. Iowa State University Press, Ames, Iowa 50010. 1982. How to detect parasites and what to look for - this is a complete explanation of the parasites commonly found in dogs. It is a technical manual, and a welcome addition to the library of the serious breeder.From Riches to Bitches And a Cadillac For Your Vet and In Stitches Over Bitches And Now Your Vet Wants A Rolls Roycel,both written by Louise F. Shattuck. Published by Howell Book House. This author is no doubt the Erma Bombeck of the doggy set. These are two howling good volumes of episodes guaranteed to bring a tear and a smile to anyone who ever whelped a litter or walked into the show ring.Speaking of which, my presents are already rolling in and one from Kathy made it easier for another individual to buy for me. Kathy gave me a scale-model Rolls Royce Duane says hell give me the glue and the paint. Cheapskate.But this year they are determined to circumvent my God-given gift for divining Christmas presents, as evidenced by an occurrence just scant minutes ago. A package arrived, and the team went into action my attention was diverted and the box was spirited off to a most inscrutable, inaccessible spot. As a result I have no idea where the package went. Well, I guess they won this year - when I open my present, I will no doubt be the very picture of a person whos surprised. And ever so pleased at such a thoughtful, unexpected gift.And on that appointed evening, Christmas, wont the giver be surprised that I accidentally bought the shoes to match. Give yourself the gift that keeps on giving love of the Pomeranian, of your fellow man, and take the time to appreciate both.As 1991 approaches, I give you the present I want for you this December, and every December I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year - and thats no surprise.JMcG7Guard Your Pet From Excessive Fat.Cynotechnique Pet Food is designed to help your dog or cat stay lean and lively.Some super-premium foods have more fat than. ..........^3omas mmmVS-lOYllCkNIN iIOY4LCN.NIN ROY4LCMROY4L CM ... 09amkTTTii amnROX4LCKNINA.GRSCYNOTECHNIQUE EE3E1]E]E]EHIEillE3E3E[A,2j^ I.3 -J [t.GRIMSIMpg-rnggi0 H provides oprimol boloneud energy ond nutrition for adult dog with sustained high levels of octivity.Cynotechnique' helpsdogsstiy lean and livelyOthor Cynoehniquo' products for iho dog53ra Eran TMPl.W s.cCC\4ffdiet with less risk of weight problems.For any stage of life or activity, theres a superpremium Cynotechnique food to help your pet reachthe animal needs, which can be harmful to top performance-and a long, healthy life,your pet.

I first read about Cheyletiella mites in Tom Graves article in the June 1990 READER. I was familiar with the other mites he mentioned but had never heard of Cheyletiella or walking or moving dandruff as it is commonly called. Depending on how well a polaroid comes out in reproduction you should be able to see in accompanying photo what this walking dandruff did to one of my pups.We had sometimes noted in the past the super-undercoated puppies had a small amount of dandruff when brushed. Usually this disappeared by about 4 months of age. In several recent litters we noted a little MORE dandruff when we brushed but when the older of the pups became about 14 weeks they no longer evidenced it, yet they did have occasional itching bouts, and they had no fleas. This by the way, according to Tom Graves article, could be part of our problem with the Cheyletiella mite now, as in the past year we have had not fleas to combat and thus were using no chemicals of any kind to eradicate fleas. Tom said where flea pesticides were in use this particular mite is not seen as the pesticides keep it under control. Thus we may have had mild cases of the mite in past litters where we had some dandruff but the chemicals for de-fleaing we were then using removed the mites.We had a younger litter of 2 females, 2 males, whom the dam insisted on weaning at 7 weeks. They were very eager eaters and were hearty. The male was small but not unduly so. He was the best eater of the 3. In these pups, whom we began brushing at 6 weeks due to their extremely heavy coats, the dandruff was excessive it looked like a snowfall on the grooming table after a brushing. Three days after weaning the male in the litter began acting despondent and went off his food. Used to behavior like this The Pom Reader December 1990after weaning in some pups we put it down to that, but when he became slightly dehydrated and began standing in a stool- ing position with no stool problems we took him for a checkup. As it always is with pups it is difficult for a vet to pinpoint a problem, unless something like parvo, worms or coc- cidia shows up in the stool. His sample was absolutely negative for anything He was given subcutaneous fluids and we were advised to give him Nutri-Cal or Karo syrup and force-feed him via syrinage a blenderized diet if necessary. It was necessary. The following day he was even more despondent so we returned to the vet. At this time we mentioned the excessive dandruff. The vet took 3 hair samples before the Cheyletiella mites showed up under the microscope. Tom Graves said it was difficult to find these mites and he was right. However, later, after being told that the common term walking or moving dandruff meant literally just that, we spent about 5 long minutes peering into the parted coat before we saw this dandruff actually move. DisgustingWe raced home to re-read Toms article. He mentioned several treatments. Pyrethrin flea shampoo or parasiticidal dips once a week of either for 4 weeks and also briefly mentioned Ivomec, which Tom does not like to recommend as it is not yet tested for use in dogs. The label on Ivomec 1 sterile solution of Ivermectin reads that this product should not be used on animals other than cattle as severe reactions, and even fatalities in dogs, may result. I have heard of some breeds who absolutely cannot tolerate it, such as Collies and Shelties but I have used Ivomec in some of my dogs with no reactions and know that many breeders use it monthly to prevent heartworms.Our vet gave us Mycodex shampoo with Carbaryl. We also knew there was a Mycodex with pyrethrins. We ordered the latter and instead of the vet-given Mycodex with Carbaryl we elected to use a mild pyrethrins flea dip safe even for kittens on the 8-week-old puppies. Our adult dogs had no evidence of any dandruff. To the adults we elected to take our risks and gave each .10cc tuberculin syringe and the over-4-months pups .05 tuberculin syringe Ivomec, which would be repeated in 3 weeks time, with no dips or flea shampoos used. This method, we reasoned, was the better of giving coated adults and older pups a flea bath and brush out every week for four weeks. However, I stress the risk involved in using Ivomec is something you should discuss with your vet We had no reactions to Ivomec either in first or second dose. My vet advised that the risk was present but minimal in our breed but he advised not giving it to pups under 4 months of age. He also said that some vets are bitterly opposed to Ivomec, as it has not been tested adequately in dogs, and some vets use it themselves, but hesitate recommending it to clients. He said if we took the shortcut method to ensure NO dogs in our care had mites it was our risk alone. But he was not adamantly opposed.The 2 females in the 8-week litter were hale and hearty after the dip and brush out. They dropped about 75 of the dandruff and the vet also advised sprinkling flea powder into the coats midway through the week for the first 2 weeks of treatment. This we did. The 8-week male stopped eating completely 2 days after the dip and had to go on round- the-clock syringe feeding. On the 3rd morning after the dip he was found with a swimming-on-side seizure. Karo syrup quickly brought him alert. From then on we stepped up the karo, upon vet advice, and he had but one more minor swimming seizure and then none. On the 4th morning after the dip this puppys undercoat felt wet and sticky to the touch and looked like a mat.1 touched it and the entire coat came away from the skin in one patch area without a whimper from the pup. The photos at left show how much of his coat came out, and NO area was shaved The coat just came away like an unglued wig and the skin beneath was clear of any irritation. He looked like a plucked chicken The only areas where coat was left were his head, face, legs and one band that rounded his hips and tummy. Those who saw him said he looked like a Poodle groomers worst nightmare It almost appeared as if he had been deliberately shaved into a grotesque trim job The pup seemed to feel better after this fallout. He often resisted, firmly, our efforts to force-feed him but he was able now to get up and drink water from a bowl, leave his cushion to stool on paper, arrange his 2 favorite toys into a sort of pillow and even had brief periods where he played with us. We grew hopeful. However, he began to want to sleep more and more and would actually growl, very defensively, when we disturbed his sleep or re-arranged his toy-pillow arrangement. He also began more firmly to resist our feeding efforts, clenching his teeth closed so we had to pry his mouth open to feed. He kept his 1 lb., 7-week-old weight for2 weeks, then began to lose. We expected this as he was on a liquidized diet and not getting near enough down and would vomit up 14 of it if not fed every hour in small amounts. An every-2-hour feeding schedule became impossible as the larger amount caused immediate upchuck. Some thought he might have received brain damage during his two seizures, but I queried that. He knew enough to get off his cushion to stool, he reacted to playing, he knew just how he wanted his toys arranged for sleeping on. He even would go to the food bowl and stand over it, dip his head and try but he would not actually eat. I have seen brain-damaged pups after seizures, usually seizures heavy enough to make them comatose for a brief moment or more, but to me this pup exhibited no symptoms of brain damage.Finally, between 912 and 10 weeks he began crying when we fed him and the struggle was sad. We persevered, but our hopes grew dimmer. He died very quietly, gamely fighting to the end. We did not have him autopsied, as we have learned from past experience that no autopsy report on a puppy has ever come up with any broad hints as to cause, much less any conclusive evidence of what caused death. Read Olga Bakers October 1990 Pomeranian column in the AKC Gazette a most interesting article dealing with an apparently new syndrome The Pom Reader December 19901112OLYMPIA continued...going around that is sometimes fatal in pups and read her comments on autopsies.We do not know if the chicken or egg came first. Was this pup born with a weak constitution and the opportunistic mites took advantage He had triple the dandruff that his sisters did. Did the mites just luck onto him in far greater numbers and cause his weakness Or was he victim to some as-yet- unnamed new puppy syndrome, such as in Olgas article, with the mites being completely co-incidental to the fact We may never know.Midway through the writing of this article Wendy Feist of Feisty Pomeranians called to discuss the September article on upper respiratory disease and when I mentioned these mites I was fighting she likened them to the cradle cap so often seen in human infants. I harkened back some nineteen years and recalled that problem in 2 of my 4 children. Wendy said her vet had given her this idea and that the young pups outgrew the problem but that she used a special shampoo for all pups as a precautionary method and is not bothered by these walking dandruff mites. Wendy, could you drop us a note with the name of that shampoo 4s I look back now I can see that my older pups, who had some dandruff at 7-9 weeks of age, did in fact clear up on the dandruff itself by 15 weeks. Maybe Wendy has something there I know the 2 babies of mine who had cradle cap outgrew it and nothing cured it until they did Wendy also offered some new hints about upper respiratory problems and we will tell these in an upcoming issue. We do so enjoy any input into these articles Please feel free to write or phone anytime you have some hints or knowledge on subjects broached or on subjects you would like to hear about We will certainly give any donors credit in the articles for the input I am not a walking Merck Manual and your opinions and experiences are very important if this column is to continue to provide useful information from which we can all benefit.In closing, lets take a moment and think about rumors. Some wag once told me that rumors are ill humors in disguise. This was wise advice. But it does not keep me from listening to rumors, and sometimes being guilty of spreading them after hearing them. Im human, like you. And when I recently heard the ill humor rumor going around about moi I found some humor in it. Thanks a bunch, but I am afraid, alas, that Bernie and The Pom Reader December 1990Lois will have to decline to accept the trophy of the year award for being the largest breeder of Poms in the country. I dont believe that possessing, at present although the numbers do vary by a maximum of five from time to time 11 adults, of which 2 are yearling males for sale, and 1 is a female rescued from a bad home situation who is seeking a good placement, and 7 puppies ranging from 12 weeks to 24 weeks is quite a qualifying score for large scale breeding activity...and, by the way, I have noobjections as to how many dogs anyone has, so long as the dogs receive quality care, and the owners do not tell me face to face that all they produce are top quality and the owners do not try to rewrite the breed standard to fit their own personal needs.Until the dog howls again...OLYMPIA aka Lois CilibertoRt. 2, Box 2560 Land OLakes, FL 33539 813 995-3977PomEscapadesSusan Johnsonl- , \4iA,Vutom LI'u .a\ i7 XIts fun Just run around the front and meet me in the back13FeistysPomeraniansFOR SALECH.

Tel 503 774-8912The Pom Reader December 1990THEPARTI Ufi LINE fwttiby Nan ShartelWHITE CHRISTMASI am, I must confess, a nostagia buff I find myself checking the December television schedules to find every possible opportunity to watch Bing Crosby warble White Christmas in front of a roaring fire, with a Christmas tree of sparkling lights next to his well-worn but comfortable chair and a lovely snow falling outside his window in the Holiday Inn.When I moved from California, that palm tree and sunshine state, to the great Northwest, my greatest expectation was to experience for the first time my own White Christmas.I arrived in Oregon in the early fall of last year, just weeks before our little towns trees put on their autumn finery of red and gold. With baited breath I waited for the first lacy flakes to fall my new friends in town tried to be encouraging. It was a Condon fact of life that it always snowed at Thanksgiving. My friend,Frank, had a more pragmatic attitude about our weather whenever asked if he thought it might snow on any given day, his answer was inevitably Somewhere in Oregon.How quickly autumn put away its finery and colorful leaves began to blow up and down the streets and crunched like popcorn under little childrens feet. My Poms discovered the thrill of leaping at leaves drifting above their heads and kicking apart all the neat piles of leaves raked up around the yard.Thanksgiving came and went with no snow Town oldsters, trying to be reassuring, told me Gods being kind to Californians not yet fit for a truly cold Oregon winter. Philosophically I con- The Pom Reader December 1990tinued to wait.Icy dry fog began to drift in every evening to freeze on the trees during the night, creating a lacy wonderland that melted away by noon. As winter wore on the fog and ice lasted longer and longer each day until it didnt melt at all. The Poms enjoyed running full tilt to slide across icy spots. They looked like kids learning to skate their coats became luxurious.It seems to be a part of the human heart to be seasonally renewed by the Holidays.stable, right here in Gilliam County.It didnt snow for Christmas for me last year but once again Im waiting for that cinematic event. It seems to be a part of the human heart to be seasonally renewed by the Holidays.Waiting is well known to the dog breeder - its part of the game. There are breeders out there in their spring beginnings waiting for their summer harvest. Others are in their Autumn reorganization, with that quiet white of winter that gives us time to think about spring show bonanza.At Parti-Line we are waiting. Just as positively this year as in any other year for that oft-promised White Christmas, where all our dreams come true.Over these Holidays my wish to you is that all your breeding dreams come true. May they be small enough, sound enough, well-coated enough, marked well enough and move well enough, to give all of you the happiest possible show prospects in your New Year.Christmas week found us all carefully picking our way over an icy terrain tractionless as glass. Still no snow.My husband and I caroled from the back of a hay truck bundled up against the cold. Our voices drifted up into pockets of fog. Church bells, muffled, played softly and on Main Street each and every lamp post had speakers trilling Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and songs about a precious Babe of great promise, Who had been born in a stable, not unlike anyMerry Christmas from PartiLineNan ShartelGOLDEN AIRES POMS PRESENTS77ie cauiite 7eam...AIMEE MICHELLE..1\BEST OF BREED0LAMRENCEVILLE c.j OCT. 1990BOOTH PHOTO-BY LENNAH GOLDENAIRES HERE I AMCH.

I tried my best to keep cool and the best way for me to do that was to sneak into the air-conditioned house when I was supposed to be outside. I couldnt take that heat. I thought Kentucky was bad, but we recently moved to this scorching hot territory. How do you take it in South Carolina, Shu- ShuAutumn Mist TexasDear AutumnWe love it here Shannon loves the South - ME TOO The weather stays perfect for swimming, almost all year AHHHHH This is the life Shannon has always provided us with a kiddy pool or two in the back yard for us to keep cool and to relax in. Most kind of her to go to so much trouble, dont you think I cant really get into a full-stroked doggie paddle in that dinky, tiny, shrimpy pool she got us and I have done my fair share of complaining about it to her After all Shannon should take into consideration that I am her most favorite of course, being that I am the most beautiful, and with the most intelligence here at Doo-Shay Not only that, but I am always having to do extra guard duty and certainly deserve nothing but the BEST for being the BEST Dont you agreeShannon has been trying to sell our home, so that we can relocate to a little more land and on higher ground. I never expected she would ever spend the time or extra funds to get ME my own, huge swimmin hole Why, she has created the most beautiful lake for me, right here in my own front yard. Right off the front porch, too, extremely convenient. Right here in my own front yard Very public I even have little frogs and lizards to chase and swim with. Seems everyone else in Aiken County likes MY lake, too Why, we even made the NEWSPAPER...Aiken County Begins Drying Out After Storm...The Pom Reader December 1990Storms May Damage Beaches More Than Hurricane Hugo...Residents Anxious As Rains Fall...More than one anxious Aiken home-owner slept fitfully in Thursday nights downpour recalling the flood of 1969 that drove several dozen families from their homes.For an hour early Friday the torrential, two-inch downpour following 24 hours of steady rain did indeed seem to threaten a repetition of the 1969 affair.There was one difference the city and county, following that flood, installed an extensive drainage system and for the most part it worked...So, as you see, were famous With lakefront property like this, I suppose we will be selling very soon we certainly are getting the public interest. Shannon does it right and I thank her from the bottom of my heart Love and Licks...Shu-Shu.Dear Shu-ShuOh please Lets not give me any credit, Shu-Shu give it to Hurricane MARCO Listen here, Shu-Shu, next time we have a severe storm like this, dont be scratching the doors open to let the water IN I really dont care to have an indoor pool as well as this temporary lakefront property.Soakingly yours - THE BOSS Dear Nan Shartel Nabob PomsI loved the Pom cartoon see October 1990 Pom Reader, page 22 and must say I would look rather classy in that outfit especially if I added a few Cockatiel feathers here and there at the neckline.

BOX 301 IOWA CITY, IAThe Pom Reader December 1990Tom GravesQy HeIf Santa Claus walked up to me tomorow and asked me what I want for Christmas, I really dont know what I would say. I think I have a pretty good idea what my dogs would ask for. Tai Foon would want toys. Su-Chia would ask for something with calories in it. Patches would ask for some undercoat. Rocky wouldnt want any material goods he would just ask me to keep the puppies away from him for a day. Im kind of hoping my friend Patty gives me a couple of new icepack covers for Christmas this year. I think Im going to get her some of those little Hersheys chocolate Teddy Bears you can find at Bloomingdales. Dont worry, I didnt spoil the surprise. I dont think Patty reads this column at least she never mentions it..Did you ever wonder why this column is called By The Book Me too. Im not really sure what it means. It sounds good, though. At least thats what your and my favorite editor thinks. Anyway, I have decided to give some meaning to the title and write a column on books. I love books. Books make great Christmas gifts. So if you have a dog person on your Christmas list who has an interest in veterinary medicine or canine health, here are a few ideas.1. THE COMPLETE BOOK OF DOG HEALTH Thisbook comes from the Animal Medical Center in New York and is edited by the AMCs Chief of Staff, Dr. William J. Kay. It has chapters written by some of the leading experts on various types of disease. It is easy to understand and has excellent illustrations. The AMC is one of the leading veterinary institutions in the world, and this book is something any dog owner would find useful and interesting. Under 202. GENETICS FOR DOG BREEDERS - by RoyRobinson, published by Pergamon Press New York. Genetics is an interesting but difficult area for dog breeders to understand. Yet an understanding of how coat colors, physical traits, and many heritable diseases are passed from one generation of dogs to another is a very important part of a responsible and successful breeding program. This book explains genetics in clear, understandable terms. Under 203. FIRST AID FOR PETS by Robert W. Kirk, published by E. P. Dutton, Inc., New York. Im not sure if this book is still in print, but if it is you should try to find it. Published in paperback, it is full of useful information on handling common emergencies. This book tells you everything from how to give pills to what kinds of toxicities to avoid. There are many illustrations and photographs, and it is written in a straightforward, clear and understandable style. I recommend it highly. Under 204. VETERINARY PEDIATRICS Dog and Cats FromThe Pom Reader December 1990Birth To Six Months by Johnny D. Hoskins,, published by W. B. Saunders Co. Philadelphia. This is a veterinary textbook which was just published in 1990 and was intended for veterinarians and veterinary students. In fact, much of this book might be difficult for a non-medically trained person to understand. However, if you are in a medical field or if you have a strong interest in veterinary medicine and are well-versed, you will enjoy this book. There is a ton of information in this book there is really no other book like it. I use mine all the time. There are chapters on the various subspecialties of veterinary medicine written by some of the countrys leading experts. All chapters are geared towards puppies and kittens. In addition, there are sections on breed- associated inherited diseases, nutrition, preventative medicine, etc. This is a terrific gift for a very special dog person. Around 50 medical textbooks are terribly expensive5. SMALL ANIMAL REPRODUCTION AND INFERTILITY A Clinical Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment by Thomas J. Burke, published by Lea and Febiger Philadelphia. This is another veterinary textbook some of it would make difficult reading for a person not trained in medicine. However, if you are interested in reproduction you will find lots of useful information in this book. I certainly make use of my copy. Around 406. DOG OWNERS HOME VETERINARY HANDBOOK BY Delbert G. Carlson and James M. Griffin. This book was written as a reference source for pet owners and it is full of useful information. At Christmases past I have given this book to friends and I think it makes a perfect gift for a dog owner. If your dog is exhibiting a given symptom, you can easily look it up in this book and get a good basic understanding of what might be going on. Also, when your veterinarian makes a diagnosis, this book can provide you with a source for additional information. This book is easy to use and easy to understand.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE ANIMAL HEALTH NEWSLETTER This is not a book, but a monthly newsletter published by Cornell. It isnt only about dogs, but covers all species of animals. At 45 a year it might seem a little expensive for an 8-page monthly bulletin, but it always contains the latest information and it is really a useful publication. There are always interesting articles in this newsletter and I think it is a worthwhile investment. The Animal Health Newsletter can be obtained by writing to P.O. Box 52816, Boulder, CO 80322-2816.8. THE CORNELL BOOK OF CATS edited by Mordecai Segal, published by Villard Books New York. If you are like me and love cats, this book is a must. It is full of medical information and is well-written and clear. It is a nice hard-cover book and makes a beautiful gift for a cat person. This is quite simply the best publication of its kind. About 259. THE MERCK VETERINARY MANUAL publishedby Merck and Co., Rahway, New Jersey. This is a quick reference book intended as a tool for practicing veterinarians. It contains about 500 very short chapters on various diseases of all creatures great and small. I think every veterinarian owns a copy of this book, and I know a good number of breeders make use of it as well. The Merck Manual wont give you an in-depth understanding of anything, but it can give you a basic, practical look at most diseases commonly seen in veterinary practice.10. MEDICAL DICTIONARIES No one should be without a medical dictionary. Have you ever heard a medical term and not understood what it meant Did you ever read an article or a chapter in a veterinary book and stumble across terms you couldnt even pronounce much less understand There are a few good medical dictionaries available. My favorite is Stedmans Medical Dictionary. I think Tabers Encyclopedic Medical Dictionary is also really excellent. These books are expensive but you will get a lot of use out of them. What a nice gift for a dog breeder.Well, there are 10 good ideas for Christmas presents. Finding these books is not difficult. If you live near a university which has a veterinary college, you can stop by the college bookstore to find any of the textbooks. The dog-owner- oriented dog care books are available in most book stores. Im sure your local bookseller could order any of these books for you. In addition, some of these books are available through mail order pet supply catalogs.I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. If you see Patty, you might drop a hint about the icepack covers.

His articles have been most helpful. Incidentally, I understand Tom is a brilliant concert pianist as well as an award-winning vet student at Cornell.Please give my grateful appreciation to all those who called or wrote to say they enjoy the machine who writes ...Olympia Sincerely,Lois Ciliberto, Crescendo PomsLois We hope to have many more contributions from Tom, a very special young man and a personal friend of mine, and we will continue to strive to grow and improve. And your help has been most appreciated. Your articles are enjoyed by all. A very Merry Christmas to you Bern.JMcGDDear Mr. McGinnis,Recently I came across this article in one of my husbands Veterinary magazines. Since I thought it would be of interest to your readers, I wrote the Managing Editor also author of this article, Dan Verdon, for his permission to use it in The Pom Reader as well as The Orient Express. Please find both a copy of the letter I sent to Mr. Verdon and his responding letter granting permission for use of his article in your publications.Sincerely,Susan Johnson, J Windfall PomsSusan Thank you The article is excellent and we appreciate permission to reprint. By the way, cards and letters are flowing in concerning our newest department, Pomeranian Escapades by...YOU Everybody loves your cartoons - keep them coming. Best, JMcGFellows,Effective with the December ad start using 116 of a page. I am enclosing a business card and this could be the ad content.I really hate to drop our 14 page ad with photo but feel I must do so for two reasons. First, is the recession. Our greenhouse business is off and we really have to watch everything we spend these days. Secondly, I thoroughly disagree with you on pushing the parti-colored Poms. I am sure you are aware that most all Pombreeders consider these to be mixed breeds. In other words, Poms mixed with Papillons, Chihuahuas, and Shelties. Your recent front cover is a good example. Anyone would recognize that the black white appears to be mixed with Papillon. The American Pomeranian Club has received more complaints on this subject than anything in the history of our Club. They refused to take a stand thinking it was only a fad. Now we see it is certainly more than a passing fad. If parti-colored breeders wants sic to breed polkadotted Poms then that is their business but when they breed that mess into our good purebred lines then it hurts us all. Many Pom breeders have bought Poms they thought were purebred only to whelp a litter of puppies and to find them mis- marked because one or more particolored Poms were in their background. I have supported you fellows and your magazine and at least onced sic a year I have given you a plug in our newsletter encouraging other breeders to subscribe to your magazine. I wish you continued success but do wish however that you would take into consideration that you will probably hurt the Pomeranian more by pushing the partis than you will help the breed. Ken Griffith, Lenette Poms Kannapolis, NCDear Mr. Griffith Thank you for your letter, and your continued support. I do think, however, that since the Parti-Color Pom is IN THE BREED STANDARD FORMULATED BY THE AMERICAN POMERANIAN CLUB AND ACCEPTED BY THE AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB that that particular item, the parti-color Pom, warrants its share of attention as surely as all other accepted colors of the Pomeranian rainbow. No less of a breed authority than Dorothy Bonner gave a five-point major to a parti-color Pom at the APC Specialty less than two years ago, and since Madam Butterfly partis have been doing quite a bit of winning. In fact, parti-color Poms were in the Standard before Black Tans were. The partis certainly have their fans, and this magazine is for all Pom lovers.I do not feel qualified to debate with The American Pomeranian Club or The American Kennel Club - these two august bodies have been around a lot longer than you and me and what they say goes.Thanks again for writing -1 wish you a speedy return to a more predictable economy and a lot less flack from your letter than you will probably get.

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 vary from 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. Any questions concerning UPDATE may be addressed to the editor.The following is the LISTING OF THE TOP TEN EXHIBITORS AS OF THE JANUARY-NOVEMBER 1990 AKC GAZETTE.EXHIBITOR........................POINTSP.
