We had the pleasure of seeing something unusual on the circuit . . . what I believe to be the first parti-oolor Champion picked up most of her points on the Texas circuit, handled by John Thyssen from California, and much commented upon obviously. We watched her take majors under the Davisons Art and Joy and then finish under Edd Bivin. For those who are interested in color breeding, this a perfectly marked orange and white parti . . . you should see her . . . quite an attention-getter. Her name Blosom View Madam Butterfly, bred and owned by Mrs. J. L. Weltz of California.Things have been moving a little slowly on a National level due to our process of runoff election for a Club Secretary, won by Mr. Anthony R. Piazza. Congratulations, Skip. We need you and will be relying heavily on you. Skip was in the process of a major relocation and everyone has been knee-deep in dog shows . . . now we will be off and running for a productive and successful year for the APC.Remember, all of you members across the country, this is your Club ... let us hear your wishes for improvement, addressed either to me, or to Skip Piazza, or any other officer of the Club . . . that is what we are here for.A Clubs Officers, above all, must dedicate themselves to upholding the principles and purposes of the organization they represent. We must never allow any internal conflicts or personality tugs- of-war to interfere with seeing to Clubs business and maintaining its stated goals. This then must never be a problem for APC people like myself who have been placed in such positions . . . you may be assured that I will do my part to keep your Club as you want it to be. Your APC is not a regional club ... it is a NATIONAL club and must be thought of as such. Whether you live West, East, North or South or even in Cut N Shoot, Texas . . . and yes, there IS such a place . . . your voice is important and needs to be heard.PRESIDENTSMESSAGE IBy DARRELL W. BAKER 207 Shirleen Drive Seabrook, Texas 77586Olga and I have just completed some ten 10 weekends of dog shows out of the last 12 weeks . . . judging, exhibiting, and watching. This was all thoroughly exhausting, but we have had a wonderful time and find that dog shows just do not become dull and boring but rather still have their appeal, even after some years.We have been impressed with the tremendously large numbers of entries and the excellent quality of Pomeranians on the big Texas Circuit and satellite shows. There were 4 and 5 point majors in almost every show and it should be noted that in this part of the country it takes LOTS of Poms for majors. Quality has been such that no one dog has been winning consistently, but several very worthy specimens have been sharing the points, these and others championship quality and being much admired.At the DallasFt. Worth Pomeranian Specialty, for instance, Olga did sweep- stakes and Art Davison did regular classes and I had the privilege of ring stew- arding for these fine judges, not envying them their assignments in having to select 2 or 3 winners from the quality field that was presented to them for their judging. Mr. Art Davison turned to me when he checked in his open bitch class and said, Do you realize there is a 5-point major in this open bitch class ONLY . . . and there was a 4-point major in puppy bitches ONLY . . . We apologize to some of you other areas for all this great breed enthusiasm that of course results in elevation of the table of points.POMERANIAN REVIEW 3Pomeranian ReviewOF THEAmmratt Pomeranian dluh, JUttr.OFFICERS OF THE CLUBPresident ..................................First Vice President Second Vice President .

If this is approved, it would not become effective until September 1, 1977.In the April issue of the Pomeranian Review, there was an article on How Important Is Color. As reported in that article, I was asked to contact the A.KC for a ruling on this matter. I am afraid that I ran into the same stone wall as our other Delegate, Ken Miller. I have received a letter from the AKC advising that, and I quote, Usually, we would not expect to see a division of the Open Classes for Pomeranians at an allbreed show, but if an all-breed club feels that the division of the Open Classes is warranted because of the previous years entries, we have approved such a division. Usually approval might be given for a split into two divisions, but if the all-breed club were able to show us that because of the previous years entry, a division of the Open Classes into three divisions would be warranted, it has been our practice that we would have no basis for saying no.The letter goes on further stating that this problem is not unique to Pomeranians, and in order to insure that entries will not be rejected, the exhibitor should complete the color portion of the entry form.At this point in time, the advice given by our Editor to READ YOUR PREMIUM LIST is the best that I can offer...DELEGATESREPORTBy H.

Operating income increased to 9,182,580, resulting in an income of 72,599, compared to 330,864 for last year.The President then called on William Stifel, Executive Vice President to present a proposal for increased revenue. The Board has approved a fee increase for litter registrations from 7.00 to 9.00 to become effective on June 1, 1977. The fee of 4.00 for individual registration will remain the same.In addition to this increase the Board has concluded that a recording fee Chapter 16, Section 2, of the Dog Show Rules should be reinstated. A vote will be taken at the June Meeting, increasing the limit from .25 cents to 1.00. If this is adopted, it is anticipated that the fee will initially be set at .50 cents per dog.OUR LOYAL ADVERTISERSThe recent fiasco in the Circulation Department has cost the Club hundreds of dollars and the Review Staff has put in days and days of extra work trying to get things straightened out.

Since there had developed a great affinity between Bill and Cin, on impulse, I called Bill and asked him if he would like to special Cin on the circuit, and he readily agreed. So, Cinder hopped a plane for Dallas.Entered in only seven of the shows, in competition which ranged from a minimum Pom entry of 48 to a maximum entry of 74, and a Specials entry of 8 to 13 champions, Cinder went into the ring for the first time in a year and won an impressive BOS at Austin, Texas. He repeated this win the following day at San Antonio, Texas, to a different bitch. Then at Houston, Texas, he hit his stride, and under judge Mrs. Irene Kha- toonian Schlintz, he went BOB in an entry of 55 poms, 8 Specials. He repeated this win at Ft. Worth, Texas, under Mrs. Robert Tranchin in an entry of 63 poms, 8 specials. He went on to an impressive Toy Group 4 at this huge show, which had an overall, total entry of 3,034 dogs.Cinder is still out, showing and winning. At this writing he has won six more BOB, over Special competition, and three more Group placements in Toy Group competition which includes five and six Best In Show winning toys. Each time he places in Group, he has to defeat at least two B.I.S. winnersWe are tremendously proud of this fine Pom. We feel that he will go far, in the ring, as well as contributing his many solid qualities to the breed. He is making his mark on Chula puppies both conformation-wise and in sweet and lively temperaments.He has a lovely orange sable daughter, who has taken up residence at Queenaire kennels in California, and at four months of age she is exhibiting all of the early fine qualities of her father. When show- ready, she will be in the California rings.Cinder will continue to compete for some time, and hopefully, he will be specialing at the shows this fall, with his black and tan home-bred son, Night Tide competing from the classes. And wont that be funCOYER STORYBy NORMA GADCh. Robinhoods Chula Dark Flame Cinder to his many friends arrived at Chula as a huge-coated, chunky pup of four month of age. Bred by Mrs. Verna Hood, of Robinhood Kennels, he could not have been more bouncey, loving and open hearted. We werent too sure just what to make of him, at Chula, being used to the tiney-mite types, loaded with Pom dignity. Cinder was all wiggles and kisses, with a tail that wagged the whole dog when in motion, which was like all of the time when he was awakeWe knew from the start that he was tremendously solid and a natural showman, with great legs and typey Pom movement. His body was unreal in a young puppy, and we decided to wait and watch and see if his was an early growth spurt, or if he was going to be a big Pom. Luckily, he reached 4 lbs., and just quit growing, except for coat which grew and grewAt one year of age, he was ready for the ring. Since I was nailed to the whelping basket and could not get away, Verna Hood, his breeder, took him to the shows and put two major wins on him. That spring he blew his puppy coat, and looked for all the world like a rag-a-muffin At show time, he presented the appearance of a puppy just coming into coat, but Bill Kennedy, a good friend and Dallas Pom breeder, had great confidence in him, and took him a-showing, anyway. On the very rough Texas circut, Cinder acquired two more major wins in half coat, and came home a ChampionHe went into stud and produced some gorgeous puppies, of varying oolors. Being a very rich orange sable, he naturally produces much sable. But he also has children of a rich clear orange, a beautiful black and tan son, and even one orange and white parti-colored daughter Bred many different ways, invariably he has passed on his body, legs, typey movement and sweet, lively disposition.This spring I was going on the TexasPOMERANIAN REVIEW 9MANIESS POMERANIANSCherub shown by Marge Brown under Judge Joseph Rowe winning 2 points at Oakland, California 3-27-77Mensona Show, Santa Rosa, Ca. 5-7-77 Judge Charles P.

In addition, the Santa Clara Valley Fairgrounds Sundays show site was but a scant half miles distance. All in all, everything was quite conveniently situated.Any show is only as good as the people who put it on, and our show committee was superlative and so, of course, was the show. William C.

Beverlie Toca, show secretary, was as usual calm, cool, efficient, and lovely. The trophy table, beautifully decorated by Wanda Roach and Diane Lucas, was loaded with gorgeous silver trophies. Trophy Chairman, Diane Lucas, performed miracles utilizing but a small amount of money. Wanda and Dudley Roach did the premium lists and catalogs at no expense to the club.

This seems to be the appropriate thing to say however, in this case it is not just words, but an absolutely pertinent statement regarding this marvelous entry of Pomeranians. The first class of puppies 6 to 9 months of age was literally breathtaking to me, to other breeders, exhibitors, spectators and everyone present. I think those present were taking a bit of sadistic pleasure in noting that I had the pleasant but almost impossible task of judging these little beauties, sort of a Ha- ha, glad it is YOUR job, Olga Baker, and not MINE I say with no reservations whatsoever that this was the finest class of Pomeranian puppies I have ever seen . . . overshadowed only slightly a little bit later by the class of older pups 9- 12. These older guys that came in for my examination were fewer in quantity but maybe a tiny bit ahead on quality, although this could have been attributable to their obvious maturity. Numerous comments were made after judging that quality within our breed has made giant strides. Dramatic improvements are being noted in all areas of the standard and this is particularly notable since much larger numbers are being seen in the rings these days, yet with improved quality. This speaks highly for Pom breeders, both past and present . . . past for helping to get us where we are today in our breed, and the present for carrying the ball on.

JEROMEOn Friday, April 1, the Western Pomeranian Club held its Specialty show in conjunction with the Associated Specialty Clubs of Chicago at the International Ampitheatre with an entry of forty Poms. It might be noted at this time that the Western Pom Club was formed in 1912 just two years after the Parent Club held its first show. The traditional April 1st made itself known due by the advertised judge being unable to fulfill the assignment. Mr. Ed Klein the well known Toy judge consented to judge for the club, as a replacement the exhibitors showed their confidence and sportsmanship by the absence of only six Poms, one of which had been entered in a wrong class. Entries representing various parts of the country were Florida, New York, Georgia, Minnesota and Kansas to name a few. There were sixteen dogs, fourteen bitches and four Specials competing, it was a five point entry in both sexes.

The main meal is served in lateIn 1957, an orphan raccoon was adopted and hand raised by Jean. When the raccoon died and Jean was heartbroken, Brownie bought Susie as a gift for Jean her first Pomeranian and definitely Love at first sight. Susie was a dearly loved housepet and lived to be fifteen years old. Jean owned and operated a beauty shop at this time so was not interested in breeding. Later, when she sold the beauty shop and moved to the suburbs, Susie was aging, and Jean began reading dog magazines and studying the Pom Standard, and decided to attend some dog shows. At Jeans first show in February of 1967, she and I met and we began a long delightful friendship with our mutual interest in Poms.POMERANIAN REVIEW 23Soon Jean purchased a Millamor female and shortly afterwards, a male and a female from Dorothy Bonner. Jean began her training of the Poms for the shows. Her first champion was CH. Bonners Preshus Tangerine she rapidly acquired all of her points with major wins and finished at the New York A.P.C. Specialty in February of 1968. Jean, Sue Goddard, and I made this enjoyable trip together to New York, in spite of bad weather and some car trouble. And Jean returned home to her first litter of Pom puppies two males. The mother was left in the capable hands of Tim Goddard who had done the whelping. This was a weekend long to be remembered by Jean.repeat breedings, she has another male with eight points and two promising females. Her female, Millamors Magic Dragon bred to CH.

They were always willing to help Jean with training, grooming, breeding, whelp- ings, and rides to the dog shows. They were really missed when they moved from the area.Besides caring for the Poms and keeping a lovely, immaculate home, they also have an acre of yard and garden space. Spare time is spent on correspondence.Brownies main interest is in breeding and running Coon Dogs in Field Trials and he has been very successful, having won a number of Field Trials throughout the Country. However, he also helps with the Poms and often attends shows with Jean. Both are devoted to the dogs and always welcome company.Whenever youre near Indianapolis, be sure to stop and visit with Jean, Brownie, and all the Pom family.tiieiaiir iggiiSiBggi------------ --IWSS5JIV.1V .Left to right, Ch.

The people at the Lowes- Summit were very cordial to all and especially to our Poms This year there will be no reservation cards available for us to mail in so it is very important that each of us who plan to go make our own reservations in advance to be certain of a room during show time Put a red mark on your things to do list so you will not forget to write the Lowes-Summit for roomsThe date and location has been approved by the AKC.

We have one of the dearest breeds so lets do our part and help put on the best show ever - a Specialty Show thatHOW TO BECOME A MEMBER OF A.P.C.In virtually every issue, we reprint the invitation to readers to join the American Pomeranian Club, Inc., if they are interested, and willing to sign our Code of Ethics and work towards our goals for the breed. Apparently, some subscribers would like to join, and have signified their interest but do not understand the procedure. The first step is to write to the Corresponding Secretary Mr. Anthony R. Piazza new address in this issue and request a Membership Application. This will be accompanied by 2 Sponsors Forms which must be filled out by American Pom Club members who are acquainted with the applicant. If the applicant knows only 1 member of A.P.C., steps must be taken to have that one member introduce him or her to another. If the applicant does not know ANY member, heshe should ask the Corresponding Secretary when requesting the forms for the addresses of Club members nearest in location, so that possible contacts can be made. This procedure is not designed to keep people from joining the Club. The A.P.C. is the PARENT CLUB for the breed and wants and needs members nationwide. But in the past, we had a few rotten apples in the barrel who had only joined the Club to use their membership as a coverup for their exploitation of the breed. They were only interested in selling puppies how, what kind, or to whom, didnt matter. So these safeguards had to be instituted. We do know that there are pockets of our tremendous country where numerous Pom lovers, breeders and exhibitors dwell but where there are NO Club members to sponsor them. This problem will be considered at the next Board Meeting, and perhaps an alternate method of sponsorship will be approved.31POMERANIAN REVIEWJAMES M.

When I get their crates out they all go wild with excitement and do their best to pile six to a crate.We had approximately 1400 miles to cover and drove approximately 450 miles per day. That was about 10 hours driving time each day. We usually got a fairly late start about 900 or 1000 a.m. none of us are particularly early risers. Beside we did not want to arrive at the hotel until after dark when we would park off to the side of the lobby and Janette would wait in the car with the Poms while I nervously registered. Each morning we drove about five hours, found a nice roadside park where we set up the Poms exercise pens and ate our lunch while they played for an hour or so and got their refreshments. Then we loaded up and drove for another five hours before stopping for the night. We were in our hotel room by about 900 every night everyone all safe and snug ready for a 12-hour rest.We stayed at Holiday Inns and had no difficulties smuggling twenty-one Poms into the rooms. Needless to say it was a little crowded but we all managed just fine. I have two eight-panel Kennel- Aire exercise pens. Both of these were set up in the spare or I should say virtually all the floor area and a suitcase was put in front of the sink to wall Lolli and her babies under the dressing table and another suitcase was put in front of the bathroom door to keep Muffin and Cancan in there as they were too small to go into the large munity exercise pens for the night. The only hazard about having Cancan in the bathroom was to Janettes and my toes and feet. Cancan was at that awful toe-biting stage and Janette and I both wondered if we would make it to Cleveland with five toes on each foot. We nicknamed Cancan Jaws.In March of this year Cheelan Pomeranians moved across country from College Station, Texas to Cleveland, Ohio. A cross-country move is never a simple matter but when the transportation of twenty-one Pomeranians, three of whom are one week old, is involved it requires the utmost in careful planning to insure the safe arrival of everyone.Planning for the move began weeks in advance. Everyone was given a DHL booster to insure peak protection and I ordered 20 large chewsticks to keep them occupied on the highway. Unfortunately. I did not know we were moving enough in advance to have no girls bred. In January I bred SIX of my girls. Thankfully with my usual luck only one conceived. I did not want Lolli to have her babies in transit so I waited until her babies were a week old to begin the long journey.On March 21 we began our adventure. My sister, Janette, was sweet enough to take a week of her vacation to help me drive and care for the Poms. I could not have done it alone and am forever indebted to her for her help. Janette loves the Poms dearly and actually looked forward very much to going with us. Janette and I and the Poms didnt have enough sense to know that this trip should have been a lot of work. We all had a really good time it was a vacation for all of us. We saw all sorts of beautiful country. We left springtime in Texas and went through various phases of spring and winter in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and finally met winter still in full force in Ohio.I should mention that my Poms are all seasoned travellers. In Texas I packed all of them up at least twice a month and we went to Dorothy Bonners, Molly and Linda Millers, or my parents forcom33POMERANIAN REVIEWCHEROKEE POMERANIANSarfdiA Happy-Go-Lucky, in love \o.with the world type Pom.Completely sound, goodcoat, ideal 5 lb. size.Tonos Dragonflower of Young PointedFlower, has presented Cherokee with 3 little charmers.

I had enough crates for the Poms to ride two to a crate. Everyone was very comfortable with a roommate who was a particularly good friend and they each spent all their time eitherJanette and I each slept with one Pom and two housebroken girls ran loose in the hotel room so this left six to sleep togther in each large exercise pen. We left the orates in the car and just brought the Poms and the exercise pens into the rooms. You should have seen Janette and I trying to look nonchalant as we passed other guests with our armloads of Pomeranians. The Poms were really very good about being quiet inPOMERANIAN REVIEW34was in the car with us. The kit included a small jar of honey, enteromycin which I give for diarrhea, albaplex antibiotic, and panalog a skin and ear ointment. Other necessities were scissors, tweezers, alcohol, some cotton and Q- tips and a syringe and eye dropper.We made the trip in three days, doing approximately the same thing each day. That is we drove approximately 10 hours, with an hour to two-hour rest stop after five hours. We stayed at Holiday Inn's in Meridian, Mississippi and Bowling Green, Kentucky and arrived in Cleveland the third night. The Poms didnt even seem to be particularly tired from the trip. They were a little cross however, from all the togetherness. They had also been confined the last two days we were in College Station because packers and movers were running every which way so they were ready to get HOME wherever that was.Janette and I really werent that tired either. We had not pushed ourselves and had taken a very leisurely trip with everyone remaining in a good humor. We really had such a good time travelling that Janette and I were actually a little sorry to end the trip.The Poms certainly did attract a lot of attention at the roadside parks. Molly and Linda had suggested that we tell people we were an act with Bamum and Bailey Circus. Sometimes I felt that is how we were viewed. The most-asked question was are you selling those little dogs. I would say, no, none of them are for sale. This statement was met with disbelief. They usually said what do you do with all of them Then a long explanation which I am sure each of you have given a hundred times ensued. Seriously most of the people who talked with us were really sweet and we referred several of them who asked about puppies to Pom-people in their area. So perhaps Cheelan Pomeranians made a good-will journey for Pomeran- iandom as well as moving to their new home. We miss our Pomeranian family Continued on Page 52sleeping or chewing on their new chew- sticks. One boy has a slight case of claustrophobia. He is the only one who begins to go stir in a crate after awhile. So Sash was placed on the upper deck in the center crate. As Kennel- Aire crates are completely open he rode happily with his back facing us most of the time watching where we had been but he seemed not to get at all antsy since he could see so much space out the back window. I really can empathize with Sasha as I tend to go stir in a closed place myself. Luckily none of the other Poms are bothered by closed in places but my crates are all very open and are large enough so that there is ample space for two Poms to move around even when they are riding two to a crate.I have a 1964 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport so it is not a station wagon but it is a big old tank. It has 145,000 miles on it and everyone teases me about it but it is really a good car and an old and trusted friend. Well in advance of the trip my father gave it a COMPLETE going over, making sure that everything was in top shape. It didnt even need a quart of oil until we had gone 1200 miles. Anyhow I packed the crates double decker in the back seat. I put my three larger Kennel-Aire crates on the lower deck and put two larger girls on each of these crates, four smaller crates on the upper deck wired to the lower crates so they would not fall forward and one crate on either side of the back floorboard. Lolli and her babies rode loose in the floorboard of the front seat on the passenger side so Janette and I could keep a good eye on them and make sure that the babies stayed warm and comfortable. The babies seemed to be completely unbothered by the trip and are almost 10 weeks old now. I was extremely worried about travelling with them and would not have tried it at all with some mothers but Lolli is extremely calm and didnt mind all the in-and-out business at hotels or anything.I also made up a first-aid kit whichPOMERANIAN REVIEW 35NEW CHAMPION.\....^ 1"'A-'ft4V "J Cil1y-mM,IJ -tYBEST OF OPPOSITE VIgiCU.8CRI PHOTO --ACH.

Although gradual progress could he made in this way, there were many failures. Many fine looking animals have failed to improve the breed at all. Phenotype is not always an indication of genotype. The Best in Show Pom is not always the best sire.Another type of selection that became popular was the method of choosing individuals on the strength of the pedigree. This was based on ancestry, and was an improvement over phenotypic selection, especially when the two were used together. Even here, however, all the offspring of good ancestors are not always an improvement, and sometimes not even as good as the line from which they came. One of the oldest fallacies is the belief that like produces like.The modem method of selection may take into account the appearance of the individual and the pedigree, but the emphasis is placed on the progeny. Individuals are selected by breeders only if they produce offspring of the desired type. Progeny selection.The mating of closely related individuals is known as inbreeding to the geneticist. The various grades of inbreeding, dependent on the closeness of the relationship, are known to dog breeders as linebreeding or inbreeding. To many, linebreeding or the breeding together of related animals excluding the extremely close relationships such as father to daughter, mother to son and full sister to brother is highly desirable and is correctly regarded as a valuable tool in the improvement of a given line. Many breeders shun inbreeding, the extremely close relationships, as dangerous and a cause of degeneration in the line.SELECTION OF BREEDING STOCKBeauty Is Only Skin DeepuThe April issue of Pure-Bred Dogs,American Kennel Gazette gives a resume of the symposium held at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in January of this year. They If there was a theme to the daysay,longseminar, it was that many of the diseases which afflict purebred dogs are inherited. Breeders should research their breeding stock carefully and breed only those animals which are free of knownIt was furtherhereditary defects, brought out that a shocking 5 to 40mortality rate has been found for purebred litters from birth to weaning, compared to a much lower rate for mixed breeds of 3 to 4. This was blamed on the genetic consequences of an increased frequency of certain undesirable recessive genes becoming fixed in the genome along with those genes which determine the desirable traits of a breed.Most experienced breeders have received inquiries from novices who want to start a breeding program based on an unrelated pair as foundation stock. If we try to educate them to the more desirable method of starting their kennel with linebred or at least somewhat related animals, results are not uniformly satisfactory. The response to sincere advice may often indicate whether these novices will themselves establish a breeding program dedicated to improvement of the breed, or will continue throughout their stay in the Pom fancy breeding any female to any male just to produce puppies they can sell.The following article may be helpful to novice breeders and may serve as a reminder to some more experienced breeders who are not getting the results they would like from their current breeding methods.The truth is that inbreeding does not cannotCAUSE faults or weaknesses, but as a great many harmful factors are recessives, close inbreeding brings them to the surface where they are apparent. The more closely the two animals are related, the more likely they are to carryThe earliest method of selection used was phenotypic selection. That is, selection was based on the appearance of the trait in the individual. Those individualsPOMERANIAN REVIEW 3the same harmful recessive genes. A recessive gene cannot be expressed unless BOTH parents carry it.Some beneficial genes are also strengthened and the line can be improved by inbreeding, PROVIDED rigid culling is practised, and only those individuals which show improvement are retained for breeding purposes.It is much more difficult to strictly cull a Pom litter than the litter of a larger breed, because very often one or two puppies constitute the ENTIRE Pom litter. The conscientious Pom breeder is given a bitter pill to swallow, when the result of a carefully planned mating is one puppy which is not of a quality that should be used for breeding purposes. This happens most often in inbred or closely linebred litters, where doubling on the recessive genes brings to light traits that might have been hidden for one or many generations. The breeder concerned with improvement will, nevertheless, cull this puppy.Here, let us say that culling does not necessarily mean killing. Often the puppy has a fault which the breeder would like to eradicate from his line, and therefore he will not use the animal for breeding but usually the fault will not be such as to make the puppy unfit for a pet home. Of course, if the puppy has a gross deformity or sickly constitution and would not make a good healthy pet, it should be mercifully put down.Genetic faults which should be culled without hesitation are listed below these do not include certain hereditary disorders prevelant in other breeds but not a problem in Pomeranians CryptorchidismThis is without a doubt the fault that can do the most widespread damage to ones breeding program and to the breed in general. See reprinted article on this subject elsewhere in this issue and study the chart with care Note, especially, that a cryptorchid monorchid CANNOT sire normal offspring. Although they may appear normal and males may have twotesticles present in the scrotum, all are carriers for the trait. Note also that the fault can be carried by females as well as maleswhich tremendously increases the risk for future generations.The AKC definies a Normal Male as one which has two testicles of normal size located in the scrotum. As long as veterinarians are people, that is with human failings, there will be a few differences of opinion, but the vast majority agree with the above definition. Furthermore, once the testicles are positioned normally in the scrotum, they CANNOT either voluntaritly or involuntarily be pulled up because of fear, cold or anything else. A mature male with floating or yo-yo testicles is a cryptorchid. He should NOT be used at stud.EntropianThis condition turning inward of the eyelids can be corrected by surgery to make the animal a normally healthy pet, but as it is an inherited trait, the affected Pom should be culled from the breeding program.Open frontal molera larger than inch diameter which persists to maturity.A definite tie has been found between this condition and hydrocephalus.Animals with the following bad faults should be used for breeding with extreme thoughtfulness and progeny watched closely Luxating patellas slipped stifles. Undershot jaw. Incomplete dentition, especially when incisors are missing. We are now seeing 5 on top 4 on bottom in some Poms, a trend which will lead to ever more narrowing and weakening of the jaws. Sickly individuals which would die without the intervention of the breeder. Positive traits which should be incorporated in the line if the individual Poms involved are otherwise worthy Normal health and vigor Outgoing, friendly temperament Ideal sizeContinued on Page 52POMERANIAN REVIEW40Behind The New ChampionsThree generation pedigrees of new Pom champions belonging to members of the American Pomeranian Club will be printed free, if sent in by the owner.

Test breedings are not only time- consuming, but with such small litters as are frequently encountered in our breed, the results are incolclusive. We feel sure that members of the American Pomeranian Club, signers of the Code of Ethics, would not ever use a cryptorchid male at stud. However, to eliminate this problem from your breeding program, the parents of cryptorchids, the litter mates of cryptorchids and the offspring if any, male or female of cryptorchids should not be used. If an animal is thought to be a carrier, he or she might be test bred to an animal of the other sex felt to be normal, and the offspring of that union which appear normal bred back to the supposed carrier. Results may or may not demonstrate the status of the original In a larger breed, both testicles are often present in the scrotum at birth or shortly afterwards. If not descended by 8 weeks of age, there is reason to suspect that the retained testicles will not descend. In a Toy breed, certain aspects of development take longer, for instance eruption of permanent teeth. One or both testicles may not descend until the age of 6 to 8 months, but although it is not unknown for the second testicle to descend even later than that, it is cause for alarm if both are not in normal position by at least 8 months.CRYPTORCHIDISMReprinted from the July 1975 ReviewThe term monorchidism, commonly used by dog fanciers to denote dogs with only one descended testicle, is thus used in error. Monorchidism means testicle, whereas the correct term is unilateral crptorchidism, as a second testicle almost always exists although it is hidden.The overall incidence of cryptorchidism is thought to be 0.1 in the dog population, but in Toy breeds and in certain families of other breeds it is much higher. Unilateral cryptorchids should be fertile, but bilateral cryptorchids are sterile.Some authorities now believe that there can be examples of cryptorchidism caused by either a virus suffered by the bitch during gestation or by some medication given to the bitch at this time, but there is no doubt that most cases are inherited. Cryptorchidism is believed to be inherited as a recessive character. Thus it will be manifest only when both parents are carriers or are affected. A carrier trait is not expressed.Assuming a litter of 4 puppies, the inheritance of cryptorchidism should follow the pattern of the chart given below, and a close study of this chart will disclose the danger to ones breeding program that results from the use of cryptorchid dogs or carriers of either sex.

Your President of the American Pomeranian Club, who has so admirably served as our Show Chairman in the past, Darrell Baker namely, has tutored us all quite well and now expects us to take up the reins and GO Linda has set up her committees and the wheels are beginning to turn.We are very pleased to have as our judge of the Regular Classes this year Edd Bivin, who enjoys a fine reputation as a person of excellent discernment where Poms are concerned and is a pleasure to both show under and observe from ringside since he is most thorough and courteous. Acting as judge of the Puppy Sweepstakes will be Merle - Daniels, who as both a breeder of merit and one who has shown many excellent Poms to their Championships, is well qualified to serve in this capacity.The Pom Specialty preceeds the Houston Kennel Clubs All Breed Show which will be held on October 16, 1977 in town also.

When she and several others invited me to the first club meeting I wasnt sure I wanted to devote that much time to dog raising, but as time went on and I watched Phyllis and Clyde working steadily toward their goal of breeding Poms to be proud of, and as my husband Phil and I saw more of these nice people, we caught the Pom fever too and became more active in this club. Through Phyllis I learned what to look for in a Pom. She also inspired me to write my first article for our newsletter and bugged me until I wrote more. Maybe now shell wish she hadnt, but its too late now. Im really hooked. I even went to school and learned to type so I could do more.This is my last column for the P.S.P.C. I will be writing the Pacific Northwest News and Views Column. My first is in this issue. Next issue will have a new reporter for the P.S.P.C. Her name is Jessie Stephens. Jessie has been active in the Poodle world for many years. Recently her husband Tom, a career Navy man, was transferred to this area. They have been willing workers in our club and Im sure you will enjoy what Jessie will tell you about the Puget Sound Pomeranian Club.In addition to the Stephens, we have acquired many new members this year. Vance and Elva McGilbry, Gretta Ottesen, Virginia Hall, Christine Pike, Vera Johnson, Lisa Boyd, Chuck and Ted Hundley. Happy us, happy them.ODETTE NOLAN 41 Wisconsin Ave.Waukegan, 1L. 60085We are still waiting on permission from AKC for our first licensed show andor a Sanctioned A Match. We are also planning some promotional things.Our last few meetings were at the shows, and since I was still in the throes of income taxes I missed most of them. Also, we lost the little sable Pom we had been showing dead of a heart attack at only two years old. This left us without much enthusiasm for exhibiting for a while.Our members seem to have had a bumper crop of spring puppies and some nice wins, but Ive had no reports - so do not know the details. So my extra time has mostly been spent on the Stud Book our club is compiling. We are ready to print the pedigrees we have, but are lacking quite a few. We had promised a minimum number of pedigrees and this is one reason there was no deadline set. So if you are interested in participating IT IS NOT TOO LATE Send your stud dogs pedigree to me at above address along with a check for S4.00 made payable to the club. We will return the copy along with a copy of the Stud Book. If you have no stud dog the book will be for sale later for 6.00. So keep your pedigrees coming.Hope to see some of you at the Arkansas and Memphis shows. Happy winning.uSELECTION continued Good teeth One or both parents had strong, long-lasting teeth.

However we are certainly happy to be safe and sound in our new home and are having a terrific time meeting, and growing to love, all of the terrific Poms and Pom-people in our new area.POMERANIAN REVIEW 53MARRCO KENNELS PRESENTSjClitQUEENAIRE SERENADECh.

Recently, she has "been giving her in-whelp bitches raspberry tablets ordered from England Denes Veterinary Products Ltd., 68 Loden Road, Brighton, England. Anyone interested can write for a price list. Julie writes, I personally dont know how much it helps with whelping. I still have trouble as my bitches are small, show type, but I really believe it improves the bitches health. They seem to feel better and snap back faster after whelping when given these tablets.Much theory has been written about why some dogs testicles fail to descend. We could eliminate the genetic predisposition in a few generations if we only bred from dogs whose testicles descended early. If we waited months for the sire, we may end up waiting many more for his sons, or perhaps, waiting in vain.Keep those hints coming in.frfrHELPFULHINTS titByMARGARET M. GORMAN 31134 East Wind Fraser, Mi. 48026 iSummer is here and with it increased doggy odors. We have found that two tablespoons of vinegar added to our dehumidifier pan greatly reduces kennel odors. If you dont have a dehumidifier, cover the bottom of a small pan with cotton balls and drench in vinegar. The evaporating vinegar will mask odors, but, of course, it will not eliminate them nor the need for strict cleanliness.If youve recently bathed your Poms and become irritated because the soap didnt rinse out, or youve resorted to human hair rinse and had the coat go soft, there is help. Two teaspoons of vinegar diluted in a glass of water will cut soap and will not leave the coat soft. On the contrary, the texture of the coat is going to be harsher after a vinegar rinse. Be sure to keep it out of the Poms eyes.Pat Forst of Phoenix, Arizona sent us the following hint for Poms that guzzle dangerous amounts of water. She recommends the use of a hamster water bottle, the type that can be hung from the cage with a ball bearing in the end. Poms learn to use these bottles quickly. They are excellent for travelling and prevent spills.Julie Brumback of Harrisonburg, Virginia gives a veterinary preparation called Ion-Aid manufactured by Diamond Labs, to newborn pups instead of milk. She states it is also helpful for stress or when excitement is high, such as at shows. It is a water soluble oral electrolyte powder with glycine and glucose, sold only through veterinarians. Julie recommends peoples toe-nail trimmers for Poms and says she prefersIMPORTANT NOTICEWe have tried to contact all known Review Subscribers to explain about the late arrival, or in some instances nonarrival of the April Review.

On this and the following pages and in some of the display ads are stud dogs that, for their individual excellence, unique characteristics or special breeding, stand ready to help every breeder in the country. Inevitably, some owners of fine stud dogs failed to send their entries in, for one reason or another. But with so many represented, from every section of the country, and of so many different bloodlines, we feel that our Register, this year is very complete. May we request that when breeders send inquiries to stud dog owners, they mention I saw your stud card in the Reviewif--'-" '\Ch. Van Hoozers Dandy Kitch Ch.

She writes I took both Poms to the Companion Dog T.C. Match, March 20th, Murdoch had done well in Novice B until the sits and downs, when the large Aussie next to him got up and began to sniff and then to nudge him, practically pushing him over. This was his first time being shown since the A.A.D.C. Match, at which he was attacked by a Gordon Setter and had to have two stitches and here it was almost happening again although the Aussie was only playing, thank Goodness. Murdoch sat there anyway, staring straight at me, until finally he could take it no longer, and came running. Since the other dog had literally pushed him out of his place the judge saw fit to re-judge Murdoch on that exercise, and he not only qualified but went on to win a run-off for second place in a class of about 35 dogs, with a score of 197 plus. Proof of a good disposition Debbie also takes her Poms to breed matches, where they have both been doing very well.And a letter from Mrs. Elizabeth Davis of Bridgeport, West Virginia, told the following interesting storyFor Christmas 1973 our only child, Ted, gave us a Pom. We had owned one several years before and when he died I said I didnt want another until I retired so it wouldnt be alone all day but Ted had other ideas, he said he was getting married so he was giving us a puppy so we wouldnt forget him.Tinker Toy, as we named the puppy, wasnt as big as the ribbon Ted had tied around his middle his neck wasnt big enough for a ribbon and I had to house- break him during my Christmas vacation . . .and we made it. We did have a few accidents after I went back to work but they were very few.OBEDIENCERINGx Tby-JSEMMA HEYDE 1 70 Chicago Way San Francisco, Cal. 94112'MAnother new C.D. Pom of which weshould all be very proud is SEL SALS LIZA OF PR, at the Puerto Rico Dog Obedience Club, February 26, 1977. Angie Ruiz of Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, writes Liza, my female Pomeranian obtained her C.D. Her score was 192, winning first place in Novice A. Everybody liked the way my little Pom did the exercises in a trial where Golden Retrievers, Mastiffs and other large breeds were competing. They really enjoyed the happy disposition of the only Pom competing in the show. Incidentally, Liza was tied for high in the trial with her 192 score, but apparently lost the run-off to a German Shorthaired Pointer. Angie is going to start in Open training with Liza now, and we hope to hear from them again soon. Congratulations, and good luckAnother sparkling obedience Pom isWEELANDS PEPE BIMBO, C.D.X.

Pepe began his obedience showing career at the same place in October,1974. He earned his C.D. title in March,1975, his C.D.X. in January, 1976, and is currently close to earning his first leg on the U.D. title.

Obedience Club.We have decided well work on our CDX if we can talk Poppa into building us some jumps will let you know if we make it.Come on, you Pom obedience people please do send us your news and experiences we would all love to hear from you.The next spring I saw an ad in the paper that the Morgantown Kennel Club was holding an obedience class for dogs in our city and, on impulse, I enrolled Tinker. I had no idea what we were going to learn as I had never been to a dog show or an obedience exhibition, I just wanted my puppy to behave. I believe the instructor was rather nonplussed at his student who now weighed about 3 pounds. The rest of the class were Dobermens, Shepherds, Setters, Retrievers, St. Bernard and a Dane whose head was larger than Tinker. We soon learned to keep our distance as Tinker decided the Saint and the Dane were the enemy and he would challenge them each time they came near he still feels the same way about those two breeds. Anyway, we worked hard and both of us learned a lot and on graduation day we won a trophy and were third high in class.The students in the class were trying to get interest aroused for a Kennel Club in our city so in order that they have enough signatures to hold an organizational meeting, I signed the paper and the Greater Clarksburg Kennel Club was bom, for the next 2 years I served as Secretary I was the only person at the organizational meeting that brought a pen and paper and am now acting as President. We have held two B OB matches and have applied to AKC for sanction which we hope to get for our June match. We now have 32 members by AKC standards.Now, back to Tinker, as you can see by all the above I got bit by the bug and we went to observe our first dog show and decided that it might be fun to get into the ring. We did, and it HAS been fun one time it started to pour down rain on the long sits and Tinker went over to the Golden Retriever beside him and crawled under for shelter another time the sun was so hot he came over and laid in my shadow another, I told him to Stay instead of wait and then called him ... and he STAYED but we finally made it.ELLIS continuedClub members have recently finished the following CH.

That the breed has improved is shown by the list of wins in the Puget Sound Pomeranian Club report in this issue.The Fierce County Pomeranian Club is the newest addition to the North West Pom Clubs. Started about two years ago by Pom lovers who found it difficult to drive 40 to 60 miles to the nearest local Pom Club, they organized another club closer to home. According to Helen Krafcik, their president, when I talked to her this morning, they get together once a month to share Pom talk and ideas. They have put on fun matches, and other club activities. The future will tell what else they and the others will do.It occurs to me that we have some very active exhibitors in Alaska.

The Columbia Pomeranian Club, with its activities centered around the Portland, Oregon area, has been in existance for many years and puts on two specialties each year. Always well done and a pleasure for those who exhibit at them. The latest specialty will be history when you read this, the date is June 3, 1977, a Friday night.

At the present time, I am a charter member of the Pomeranian Club of Greater Des Moines. I am not a member of the Kenosha County Pomeranian Club but, since we lived and I showed in that area for a couple of years, I consider many of the members there as friends. Also, in the Midwest region, is the Denver Metro Pomeranian Club. We had the opportunity this spring to meet several of the members and see many lovely Poms. We were spending a weekend with Dan and JoEllen Mercer at Big Springs, Nebraska, and drove into Denver on Sunday.All three of these clubs are working hard toward AKC recognition. In the not too distant future, we hope to have three more specialty shows in this area. Now, Id like to get on a soap box for a few comments. For some time, Ive had the feeling that we are sadly neglecting junior handlers showing Poms. I can only think of two or three youngsters who show Poms in this area. Most boys, especially including my own feel they should have big dogs to enter junior handler competition. There must be some way we can promote more interest among this age group in Poms.

We have been raising Poms for about 15 years and still have our original Pom . . . shell be 16 by the time you read this . . . still prancing around when she gets excited and dashing up and down stairs when the mood strikes her.Approximately 10 years ago, I started showing Poms and have managed to finish a few champions over the years. The highlight of my show career came a couple of years ago when I was fortunate enough to win a Best In Show with a nearly two-year-old male. He was purchased as a puppy and owner-handled all the way. The saddest point in my show career came about six weeks later when that outstanding little male died from a reaction to a routine shot.My breeding program is based primarily on the Duke and Aristic lines. I normally carry 10 to 12 broods, a couple of studs plus some young replacement and show prospects.

Even the harshest, straightest, glossiest, etc., etc. coats dont stand a chance at repelling these large burrs, so it did mean a long session at the grooming table after. Experience has taught us that it is best to get at the job of removing them as soon as possible. They can work their way into the coat and cause no end of irritation to a dogs skin. So as peace gradually descended, and each Pom returned to me to tell me of the fine adventure, it was taken to be combed. We learned that our two ten week old males are particularly foolhardy, for they had to be forceably removed from their mad circling of the now grazing, and calm horse.We have been to a few more shows in the past month and have seen some new Poms showing off their qualities in the rings. The booster in Red Deer saw an entry of 21, including one Novice Obedience. It is not often that Canadian shows have this many on parade, and competition was keen. Best of Breed went to Ch. Kathes Poxy Fauna who has an impressive list of wins now. The winning brace was a veteran and her daughter. The seven year old lady was sired by Ch. Com Dukes Dragonfly, and her daughter was sired by a male I have particular reason to remember. He is Ch. Sunwrighs Golden Snuff Box, whose call name is Poxy. This boy was one of the first Poms I exhibited against, and although my male went reserve to him in the classes, I was as thrilled and pleased as his owner when he went on to take Best in Show. It was then that I determined to do the same someday with one of my own breeding, and therefore began to breed, not just raise puppies.CANADIANSCENEBy JOAN GRANT Box 1423 Golden, B.C. VOA IHO, CanadaA Pom howdy from these beautiful British Columbia mountains. I am still loving every moment here, and continually brag about the area, the atmosphere, the people, the flowers, and anything else that my friends will listen to. We have even spent a good number of hours just sitting on the front lawn, making sure the grass grew. What a wonderful change from our life behind the storeJust yesterday we had special fun. We were busy at the side of the house, with the entire Pom crew out for a romp on the grass, when the lot of them took off, in full cry, and at a hard run with tails streaming straight out behind them. In the lead was an older girl, one that is usually quiet, and placid, but this time not leaving any doubt about the urgency of her errand. I have no doubt at all, that my protection was in their minds as they charged our horse, who had just discovered he had no restraints, and came at a run across the front and around the side headed for the pasture behind the house. Usually our horse is taken for granted by all the dogs, but evidently not when they think he has gone berserk, and the way he avoided stepping on one youngster who ended up in a fancy sommersault as he tried to turn with the horse, and found himself right under it, is something I marvel at.It is at times like this that I am particularly pleased that I have emphasized soundness in my Poms for they can all cover ground, and dodge flying feet, and leap pot holes and water ditches as well as any of the larger dogs.

All committees are important to your club or they would not be listed in the by-laws. Each member makes the committee work. If you have active committees then you have good committees and the desired goals will be reached. If you join the club only for what it can do for you, you will find it somewhat dull. If you have an earnest desire to learn by doing you came to the right place.all I can as a member. I think the following write-up whose author has given me permission to use it as long as I keep his name quiet, says a lot about true participation.KENNEL CLUB MEMBERSHIPSo you finally decided to join a kennel club Good. Now you can find out just what draws these people together. First, it is certainly the dogs. All of the individuals really do have one thing in common - they all own one or more dogs, and they love them as little people or they would not and could not devote the amount of time it requires to maintain the grooming, conditioning, and training that is necessary.You can be accepted, pay your dues regularly, sit back and receive the clubs newsletter, attend a meeting now and then, and be listed as a member of the club. But you are not deriving any of the real benefits of being a member unless you really JOIN.The only way that you can fully enjoy your membership in any club is by action. Do something Volunteer first for a committee, and then work. Preferably a committee you already know something about, or one you would like to learn more about, and fully intend to contribute to enjoy it.JUMP IN WITH BOTH FEET And get the job done. If you run into any difficulty, all you need to do is ask someone. He or she will either assist you or direct you to another member who has had this chore before, and can explain to you how to go about it.There isn't any assignment in a kennel club that is impossible. There is no job any individual cannot do with a little guidance. Whether it is to be president, other officer, director, committee chairman, or committee member, it can be done if you just try. A little effort goes a long way in anything, especially a kennel club. You do not need to know it all, just be willing to put forth a bit of effort. You may even surprise yourselfYours for happy heeling, A Jump-in member who is having a ball.NEW BREEDERS- DID YOU KNOW1. Once labor has started, the bitch should not be moved, if it can be avoided.2. During the first week after birth, a CONSTANT temperature of 85-90 degrees is best for the puppies. A heating pad set on LOW and placed under the nest box should be right. Check with a room thermometer. Temperature can be reduced gradually the second week.3. If a puppy becomes chilled, the best way to warm it is with your own body heat. Put the puppy inside your clothing, next to your body. Placing the cold puppy on a heating pad will warm the exterior too quickly, while the inner tissues are still cold.4. A cold or sick puppy cannot digest milk. Feed a mixture of glucose and water or sugar and water every 2 hours until puppy regains strength. Medicate only on the advice on your veterinarian.5. A small or weak puppy which can nurse but needs a little supplementation should be fed with a bottle. The use of a dropper or feeding tube will usually destroy the sucking instinct. We prefer half n half half milk and half cream to any of the formulas for this purpose as it seems to mix better with the bitchs milk. However, if the puppy must be completely hand fed, a complete formula is better.POMERANIAN REVIEW80good temperament and typey in appeaance.

O. Box 717 League City, Texas 77573lAblivLooking at the annual stud issue of The Pomeranian Review, I always tentatively plan several breedings. Often I am undecided as to which of several plans, that occur to me, I should follow. At this point I think of various breeding theories that I have heard of and wonder what other breeders do. With these ideas in mind I wrote to several well-known breeders in various areas of the country who have produced lovely Poms from many different bloodlines. I asked them to tell us, the readers of The Review, what their favorite breeding formulas are. Many graciously responded. The following are their own words.PHYLLIS M. ANDREWS, Woodinville, Wa. I find it hard to determine success in the breeding of Poms for if one is serious one never attains success for one is always seeing a future dog that will be just a bit better than the last one. I have though finished a few champions of my breeding so perhaps that is success to a degree.I first located my foundation Poms with the help of Mrs. Marvin Latham of the old Latham line. My choice turned there for I had personally known 'them and had known and owned some of their dogs long before I was truly serious about breeding. I particularily liked those dogs for first they were healthy and reared with good health in mind. One cannot succeed with stock that is not in top notch health in not only themselves but also their ancestors. They were Poms of free whelping broods and in the males the testicles were there and these also for generations. They carried good coats, were sound in movement,OLGA BAKER, Seabrook Texas with most breeders, we follow no cossistent pattern for parentage of Pom,However, we do carefully calculate eacbreeding, considering many factors.

Darrell and I call this the miracle breeding and must admit that we try to accomplish this particular breeding combination whenever we can. Interestingly, the finest Pom we ever bred . . . bar none, besides Duke Dragonfly himself, was a result of this horse breeders theory . . . this miracle breeding. This dog was a perfect creation called Rip Van Dragon, a youngster who won big and beautifully in New York and appeared obviously destined for greatness. He met an early untimely death from illness before his career really began, and we were unable to repeat the breeding."Here is this little miracle. Get a blank pedigree and put stars in the key positions so you can understand it a little easier . . . then proceed and have fun from thereSeems simple enough, doesnt it You breed so that the same dog is in both key positions. By the way, this is not always that simple to do We have again recently done this breeding and have a young boy that appears to be just as we expected him to be ... no super perhaps, but very much what we wanted.MRS. NORRIS McKAMEY, Bettendorf, Iowa Years back I purchased my first show prospect Pomeranian, a three month old male puppy, from Gladys Schoenberg. Later to become Ch. Aristic Sunbeau, a grandson of the English War II winner Suncherub. No English championship status was given during the War II period, though Suncherub went many times Best in Show. He in turn was a grandson of Bonny Ideal, considered the most outstanding stud, siring many champions, by the Pomeranian breeders of that day. Most all thePOMERANIAN REVIEW82ions and is still living and siring. A grandson of his Ch. Laceys Baron von Ray is making a show record of breed wins.All our AKC Pomeranians are interrelated or we would not have a pure-bred breed. My own formula was to purchase descendents of top winning Pomeranians of breedable size, in turn breed to comparable type and lineage, to reproduce and show. As some Pomeranian litters are only one, one has to have stick-to- itiveness, if one is to progress in anything.DONNA MEGENHARDT, Kent, Ohio I do seem to get good results by breeding Aunt to Nephew. However, I do not always breed by pedigree alone. I feel it is very important to have strong, sturdy Poms that can run up and down the steps and jump up on the beds and furniture without fear of their being hurt. To me, it is very important to stay away from certain health physical problems that I have observed in certain dogs. As well as a beautiful show dog, I feel that a Pom should be a strong, sturdy, healthy, pet.SALLY BAUGNIET, Mishicot, Wis. I believe that a breeder who has a high percentage of Poms possessing the qualities for which he is striving has to educate himself in all aspect of the breed, a sixth sense, and a lot of luck.Our kennel has produced Champions and good breeding stock the two can be synonomous basically by sticking with breeding strong lines to strong lines. Strong in what The lines which seem to be quite consistent in carrying on the characteristics that please the breeder and do the best for the quality of his Poms.If a good consistent line is. bred to a haphazardly backyard type outcross background, unless you have a prepotent Pom on the good line side and these are rare the chances for carrying on the qualities for which you strive are much less. More often than not, you would have to try to breed back out what you bred in or start anew. BasicEnglishdescendants go back to this bloodline, as ours to Ch. Sealand Moneybox and Julos. My first champion female Ch. McKameys Sweetheart Joy, was a granddaughter of Ch. Moneybox Pay Check, a son of Ch. Sealand Moneycox. Ch. Aristic Sunbeau on his dams lineage was of Oh. Little Sahib, Ch. Sealand Career, Ch. Little Bit O Treasure Gold. Later purchased other great granddaughters of Ch. Sealand Moneybox and some of Ch. Julos lineage.Imported several daughters of Ch. Preservenes Live Wire, also a linebred grandson. Ch. Preservenes Live Wire son of Ch. Riverleigh Live Wire, lines go back also the Bonny Ideal, the daughters to Suncherub. Sent a Ch.

I also prefer to breed to the stud who is consistently producing quality, rather than the unproven big winner of the shows.Eventually, I hope to weld correctly the two lines I am breeding in, and I guess as is every breeders dream consistently produce a Chula type.On the other hand, I have had two extremely outstanding litters from Cinder and Ch. Lacey Gamblers Litter sister, so the assumption now is I need a generation of breeding back into the Queenaire Creider line, before crossing back to Aristic. Anyway, this is the direction I plan to take.Im doing some down right in-breeding, too, from Mister sons to Mister daughters. ... I really held my breath on that litter but it worked. So, I will repeat it.EDITH ROSE MAYES, San Antonio, Texas Over 32 years ago we really believed that there must be some magic way to produce good dogs. All of the books on genetics and breeding seemed so logical and so absolute that we thought it couldnt be too difficult to establish a winning line.We started out by using fairly close linebreeding and occasionally some in- breeding. We usually get rather good results. The bad result was that over the years our Poms kept getting smaller and smaller and we could visualize breeding ourselves out of existence because the dogs were getting too small to breed safely.Our solution to this was to try to establish a line of Poms which would mature to about 4 to 5 lbs. To accomplish this we started a selective breeding program using sound dogs and bitches who showed a tendency to produce dogs of that size and who were also of good type. We still use linebreeding in our breeding program to some extent, but since we have over 150 Poms in our kennel who are kin without being too close, the hazard has been reduced. We useally, the haphazardly bred dog was not bred with any kind of purpose, such as improving the breed, but only for getting a cute litter of puppies and a few extra bucks. Usually these people have no idea what the Pom standard says a Pom should be and could care lessI am not saying that there are no good haphazardly bred Poms. There are. But chances for consistent good quality is less.I am also not saying that anyone who line breeds or inbreeds is going to be successful. There are people who haphazardly line breed and inbreed, also. They may not know what qualities to strive for and therefore not attain anymore than the haphazardly outcross breeder. In fact, if they do not realize trouble when it is compounded in line and inbreeding, even more of a disservice to the breed could result"Now the question of type and soundness. Do you sacrifice one for the other, or is it possible to successfully work to achieve bothMany articles have been written on this, but we all know there is no absolutely perfect Pom. We also know that a repeat breeding doesnt produce identical twins to the first litter.Know what you are trying to attain and breed Poms with the least amount of faults and the most amount of good qualities in what ever pattern you have chosen and found to work for you. If your breeding stock is no better than pet stock, put them in a pet home and invest in good show and breeding quality. There are many Poms available that fit that quality. Dont expect to get something for nothing. The successful breeder didntWhat ever you. do DONT JUST BREED FOR A CUTE LITTER OF PUPS AND A FEW EXTRA BUCKSNORMA GAD, El Paso, Tex. I am a very firm believer in line-breeding, with out crossing to correct faults to a heavily line-bred dog or bitch, of another line. Ive also learned that pedigrees are generally more reliable than the looks ofPOMERANIAN REVIEW 85some judicious outcrosses from time to time if the results of previous breedings of the lines appear to justify it.In other words, what we are trying to say is that we primarily breed dogs and bitches of proper size, type, and soundness without regard to where they may stand in the family tree. If they happen to have similarities in their background, fine, but we dont regard it as a prerequisite.We are not knocking inbreeding or linebreeding and we know that many breeders do it with varying results.A curious fact that we have noticed in studying pedigrees of some of the outstanding Pom show dogs and producers is that quite a few of them were outcrosses. True, they we re usually line- bred on each side of the family but were complete outcrosses to each other. On the other hand, it should be noted that in most cases both sides of the outcross had a history of producing good type and soundness. It is conceivable that this could possibly be a valuable tip to other breeders.I think that the best piece of advice we got many years ago came from Gladys Schoenberg, the founder of Aris- tic Poms and we have remembered it to this day, when she said,They can write all of the books and articles on dog breeding and genetics that they want to, but it still comes down to the fact that you have to breed a good one to a good one.In summary, we dont breed to any rigid preconceived idea or formula. We use whatever method appears to be justified by the circumstances.BOB GOODRICH, Hampton, Va. I think over the last twenty-five years of breeding, and I am amazed. It was all just dumb luck it seems.I had no luck at all when I first started, nothing seemed to be what I wanted. Finally Ruth Beam told me to get the best female I could buy and she would give me a service to her old famous male Ch. Great Elms Little Tim- stopper, to get me started. The GoodLord at this time gave me a good friend by the name of Ethel Unwin, who sold me the bitch I needed so badly. This combination was just what the Doctor ordered. The bitch was a five pound dark red proven bitch with good legs and head and good. body.These two lines went together like ham and eggs. Finally, a third line came in with the same coloring red. This was the Thelcolynn Showstopper line. This breeding gave me two red females to make another cross to Great Elms lines, but all this was done with type and quality in mind.If had to give advice to new people just starting, it would be start with females to show and breed, using other peoples studs until you have gotten quite a few good females. If you have good females and can pick and choose from the best of studs, in time you will have to come up with the type of male you want.SOPHIE MAYES, West Chester, Pa. At the time I first decided I wanted to breed Pomeranians, Eng., Am., Can. Ber. Ch. Pixietown Serenade of Hadleigh was imported by Florence, Lady Conyers and Ruth Bellick. Fresh from his win as Reserve Best in Show at Crufts, he flashed upon our show scene like a meteor. He paused briefly in Bermuda where he achieved his championship by going B.I.S. at two of the three shows, then arrived in this country and won B.I.S. at his first two all-breed events. After long years of dwindling Pom entries and very few really outstanding dogs, this gorgeous red orange Pom commanded the admiration of all. It was my desire to linebreed on this super dog. At first, everything went according to plan. The 2 broods I then owned were bred to him and a bitch puppy retained from each litter. A Serenade son was purchased, and 2 strongly linebred females purchased of Pomwin and Creider breeding to breed to both Serenade and son. Alas for my plans, after a show career which saw him win 15 B.I.S. and 5 Specialties, and 2 B.I.S. in Canada onPOMERANIAN REVIEW86this color secured by introducing reds and sables every second or third generation of black breeding.way to Canadian championship, Serenade was retired from the show ring at the end of 15 months and taken to his co-owners home in Bermuda. Incredible bad luck at May Morning saw his son die of a penicillin reaction after siring only 2 litters, one daughter matured far too small to breed and his double grandson succombed to anesthesia while having his teeth cleaned. It was then that my breeding policy changed. Rather than pinning all my hopes on linebreeding to one outstanding individual, I decided that it was better to combine the proven qualities of several different linebred Pom families. This policy has been carried out, and is still practised at May Morning.I favor close linebreeding within the family, and have had best success breeding half-brother to half-sister and granddaughter back to grandsire. In- breeding father to daughter, mother to son or full sister to brother has not been done. However, when close linebreeding brings to light recessive traits which seem undesirable such as drastically decreased size of females in two of my lines, the next generation is out- crossed to another line. Usually this will not be a true outcross, as all my foundation lines are now somewhat related within my breeding pool. From time to time, a real outcross is tried to a different admired line, but for the most part, the original Pom families as detailed in my January Review ad seem to produce the best results. Many additional lines I have tried, although they might be highly successful for other breeders, have failed to nick with what I have.I would like to note in passing that as another breeder aptly put it, breeding white Poms is like breeding another breed, and there has been very little attempt to incorporate the white lines with my other families. What little mixing I have done is to improve type in the whites, but inevitably at the expense of pure white coat color. The blacks, however, have evolved from a careful combination of my lines, and better type inI want to thank all of the breeders who responded and invite responses from those of you who are now reading this. In reviewing the wealth of information above, I have only a couple of things to add. Generally speaking Lin and I line- breed and in-breed, outcrossing only when we cannot find the qualities that we need within the lines that we are using.We have found that one can in-breed for strength and health just as successfully as one can in-breed for any other quality.We have not found out-crossing to increase size nor in-breeding to reduce it. We have had large and small Poms from both plans. We work for 4-5 lb. Poms.Great Poms can be produced in a variety of ways. To me the great advantage that in-breeding and line-breeding offer is a high degree of predictability. Even this can be a surprise. The answer seems to be decide what you want, study, plan, and remember that breeding is an art and as such can not be reduced to a scientific formula. Therein lies the fun and work and tears.HUNDLEY continuedsend me your news, especially your wins.

Please give our bitches and their owners a break, and do not offer your dog at public stud unless he is truly a willing and eager breeder. Be honest with your fellow enthusiasts, and if you have a stud that is choosey or finicky about which girls he bestows his favors upon at least notify the bitch's owner of this fact that there is the likelihood that he will refuse some girls. If the bitchs owner chooses to take this risk even with all the expenses of shipping, at least it becomes their decision. Forewarned is forearmed avoid a frantic phone call I can't get her bred, 'Dootsis' just isn't interested. Usually there is another on hand who IS of lessor calibre since she's out of your hands and it's too late to ship her home or to your 2nd choice, she ends being bred to a dog you never would have chosen for her. This is an unhappy situation, at bestSo Be FAIRIn reply to the Editors note regarding my article April 77 Pom Review page 60. It would seem something has been misunderstood in regard to my criticism of the Standard stating Trimming around the Anus and my desire for the replacement Trimming at the base of the Tail topside only. The reasoning stated is sound as every breeder will surely agree.It was not suggesting any additional Trimming. or greater degree of trimming if you will. My^ thoughts were to abolish the trimming around the anus and replace it with tail base trimming.I might also mention Ye honorable Editor stated "scissoring or trimming around the base of the tail is NOT PERMITTED. My statement was trimming At the base of the tail.and you mayI do hope the above explanation is clear to everyone, would surely enjoy opinions and comments from other breeders in regard to the tail base trimming.

She had to have a C-Section, but gave birth to two fine males, and mommie and puppies are doing well.Thanks again to everyone, who made our trip so great.What a shock his death was to me. I fed him at S00 A.M. and 10 minutes later he started having pain. By the afternoon he was dead from a Gallstone. I understand this very rarely happens in dogs. All the Veterinarians said it would be the last thing they would look for. I was heart broken. He was always at my side. I had made a lot of friends through him. Of course he was my best friend.I really enjoy having Sue Goddard living only 64 miles from me. We plan on attending the Summer Specialty.

It could also be used for research if detailed enough to include color of the dog and dates whelped and died and etc.Since you are interested in color breeding and have been doing it for a number of years. I would like to ask you about a Pom I saw that was purchased from a local pet shop. It was a mature male, about 7 pounds, marked like a black and tan but instead of black, its body coat, undercoat and guard hairs were a solid blue color like a blue Great Dane. Its tail, legs, and markings on the face were a lighter silver gray color. Would such a Pom be acceptable or would it be considered a mismark GLORIA SETMAYER Paramus, New JerseyUNETHICALAttending two Pennsylvania shows this past weekend, I witnessed in the Pom ring and Im sure others there felt the same what I consider to be bad sportsmanship, bad ethics and I might go as far as to say, just plain greedA particular lovely male Pom needing one single point finished at the Saturday show with a major his fourth.

Im sure most breeders know these faults, but doubt the new judges coming on will know them, unless we include them in the Standard. I also think we can drop the size preference of 4 to 5 lbs. and just say, weight of a Pomeranian for exhibition is 3 to 7 lbs. Right now, it seems to me that size is overly important to judges. I dont really think the list of major faults has to be endless and picky, just the important major faults that are ruining our breed.Lets hear other breeders commentsAlso. Id like to hear breeders honestly comment on puppy mortality in our breed and what can be done about it. Perhaps its time to take a hard look at ourselves and our dogs.KAREN HOLDER Strongsville, OhioI want to say that I really am going to miss Dorothy Bonners Column in the American Kennel Gazzette.
