Now, with this in mind, have you been watching the judging procedures before you go into the ring Have you got the correct arm band on Are you watching, so that when your turn comes, you can walk right in and present your dog You all say yes, but think back, was it really yesduce with certain females. We have to breed, keep records, grow out puppies, and experiment to find out what works. Sometimes, a breeding that is repeated will not produce the quality that a breeder got the first time. On an average a female that is bred once a year will produce about six litters so we have only six times to see what can be producedSo, it takes years to accomplish our goals and we have to be PATIENTDID YOU KNOW...YOU CANT BE AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS WITHOUT LOTS OF WORK, PATIENCE AND TIME Ive always tried to be helpful, understanding and patient with new people who want to show dogs and become breeders. Sometimes, the end result has been a feeling of accomplishment and other times the situation turned out to be a feeling of disappointment. Some want instant stardom and do not have the knowledge, the love of the breed, and the patience to make it all work.First, pick up your arm bands as soon as it is reasonable to help the ring stewards keep their records up to date. Report absentees promptly. It is frustrating to be standing in the ring waiting to judge a class, while the steward is calling a number, to suddenly have an exhibitor say, Oh, thats my dog and it is absentNow, with your dog ready and your armband on, you are ready to watch the judging pattern. Unless you are first, you should be able to do exactly what the judge requests. If you are aware of a novice handler, make sure he is cognizant of the procedure, and if not, explain a little to him. We all were beginners at one time. As time goes on, we tend to forget our own ineptness and our blunders the lead that slips off the reluctant dog not doing the correct pattern and, most of all, over-handling I, myself, am guilty of all three in days past If you have sold a puppy to a novice, and he is in your area, guide him along to show him the ropes, so to speak. Back to the pattern. Nothing is more time consuming than doing the wrong pattern, since the judge will usually request that the exhibitor do it againDID YOU KNOW...That judges are people, too The following was written by well-known judge Miss ARlene A. Czech, and we thank her for this insight from the judges perspective...It takes years for an established breeder to have success and predictability with a line of dogs. Even then the heartbreaks and disappointments occur. Recently, we struggled to keep a newborn alive and lost the battle after eleven days. Countless hours were spent and it really hurt to work so hard and still have the puppyLaments of a JudgeEXHIBITORS PLEASE HELPDont get me wrong I enjoy what I do when I am judging. Its just the things that exhibitors do or do not do that thwart me. I have been much aware of the muliple problems, but no as much as when observing some new breeds under another judge. Their comments are similar to mine, and so I would like to present them to the fancy...Whether you are a novice or an old timer, please pay attention to the following requests. Many of you are aware that the judge is allotted approximately two minutes per dog that is, two minutes to gait, examinedie.My point is, the people who want overnight success arent created from the mold that will produce a dedicated breeder. Sometimes, a novice will purchase a wonderful puppy from an established breeder and will make it to the winners circle. When this success doesnt continue, it causes resentment, jealously, and usually the dog or dogs will suffer.We all can own champions that produce with almost any female they are bred to.

I love it when I see the back of the handlers head instead of the dogs headentered in a different class in the same breed, and each is owner-handled. Here, time can be wasted, if the handler doesnt have the arm- bands on in sequence, with someone standing by to help rip off the old one armband and hand the new dog to the owner. Then, since every dog could conceivably win its class, the owner should have that many substitute handlers available to bring them back promptly into the ring.I have seen this done very efficiently, without a spare moment lost. They have everything laid out, with people standing by. One dog after the other goes into the ring, gets judged, and no time lapses between dogs. Winners class is ready to go when Open is done. It can be done so get organized We all have seen this confusion that ensues when they are not prepared, and the judge is twiddling hisher fingers while the exhibitors round up help. All these little delays can add up and make a judge late for group. Then the exhibitors are upset, waiting for the judge. We try to accommodate all exhibitors, and what I have suggested here will make our day pass more efficiently and we can all enjoy it moreArlene A Czechthe right way.There is a good reason for doing the same pattern. This way the judge can see all the dogs in the same manner. Gaiting the same direction makes a difference. We are not only judging your dog, but comparing it to the others in the class, and we have to have the same conditions for comparison. Some handlers will do this deliberately to show off a special side of the dog, or to hide a side of the dog. Please, dont do itBack to being ready to show. The ring steward calls your number to go into the ring, do you then stop and brush the dogs fifteen times more, or do you go right in Obviously, you should answer, I go right in. But many do not. We stand in the ring, while one hair or another is moved from one side of the dog to the other. Really, the dog should be ready And if you think about it, when the long haired dog begins the gaiting pattern, they shake and mess up all the careful grooming and parting done beforehand anyway. Every judge can see that you have spent much time on the grooming if you have. The coat condition will indicate this right out as the judge touches it.All right, now we come to the individual examination of the dogs. Again, stop fidgeting with the coat. And above all, stop fussing with the feet, back, tail, etcetera. You are only delaying the examination and in doing so bring the judges eyes to the part you are trying to correct. I must tell you right here that that is my worst fault in handling over-handling ARLENE CZECH Some of the judges have even told me to take my hands off the dog, the dog is doing fine You sometimes are not aware of the fact that in setting up your dog as the judge approaches, you may be blocking his view of the dog, and therefore, losing some evaluation. I love it when I see the back of the handlers head instead of the dogs head. Another point here, many times a judge is examining a dog, and would like to compare it with one previously examined. So he looks at the lineup and the dog is sitting down, or with Toys, up in the handlers arms. How can we compare He either forgets that dog, or takes extra time to look it over again later.There is the key word time. You also are putting your dog at a disadvantage if he is not being presented his best the entire time in the ring.Then again, we have the exhibitor with multiple entries. Each one isHeres hoping 1996 will bring you closer to your dreams On behalf of The Pom Reader, I wish you great holiday memories and a super 96Sharon Masnick 2007 Vestry Drive Charleston, SC 29414 803-571-6165The Pom Reader December 199513EST N V1ATCHRHEA-NA'S I GOT YOU BABE - "CHERn7 MONTHS - 1 ST SHOW - EXPERTLY HANDLED BY DONNA LYNN WRIGHTWINNER - 6-9 PUPPY BITCHES - WINNER BEST SENIOR PUPPY2Sr. 0 - K-i14 tlA f ' \ . .1 V4 A .Vk- .f.T l\ _ \\T LJUSw A\ V.\jr .

When you are showing someone elses dog you seem to work a little harder getting it ready and also get a little bigger case of nerves, especially if you know it is one terrific dog and deserves to win.While Bemie was gone, I went ahead and loaded the wagon and then dressed to go pick up the female. Bernie arrived home just in time for the trip to the airport and so we buzzed off.The plane was on time, Air Freight moved the female through quickly. We looked her over and beamed, a very nice brood gal who immediately licked our faces and said Hi. So far so good.One half of the way home the wagon started acting up, I was driving and got nervous, but Bemie said, Its nothing, keep going. So I did, then I noted the temperature gauge and it was - HOT.I said, Lets stop and check this out. Bern said, Hey, almost home, keep going, its getting late and by the time we settle this new gal in and do final loading it will be bedtime and we have an early morningThe day started off pretty good. It was Friday and the weekend dog shows were coming up in Sarasota, Florida. The usual stuff was going on, pack this, pack that, check notes, re-check notes, brush out the male Pom entry, fill his crate with plush pads and a toy and write extensive notes for our then teenagers to place on each Pommie left at home for their adequate care while we would be gone.Then it happened. We had been waiting to get a female from a friend and she called to say that she would be shipping that morning, which meant we had to make an unscheduled trip to Air Freight to pick up the girl. No big problem, just another 2 hours added on to the schedule. Squeeze it in somewhere, although it was very exciting to know she was finally coming....Bemie had to go on to work for a few hours and I busied myself preparing for the weekend shows. We were showing a male for another person, a brother to a dog we had started showing who had unfortunately died suddenly of a collapseddrive to the show. Whatever is wrong with the temp gauge is just - er-ahh-nothing.Eight miles from home the car wouldnt go over 25 miles an hour and I kept insisting, Lets turn off and stop. Bern just kept saying,Put the pedal to the metal. The metal hit the floor but the car said, No way. Finally within 3 miles of home smoke poured from the engine. I shouted See there, and pulled over - pronto, skipping onto the grassy road bed, cars beeping behind me and I jumped out to grab the dog crate in case the car was going to blow up.Bemie got the hood open and smoke poured out so bad you couldnt stand near. A neighbor happened by and pulled over to say, Wow. Wow, I said,does not sufficiently cover this problem He drove me home with the dog and Bemie stayed with the car. One of my teenaged daughters was home and____The Pom Reader December 199519got out her little red Camaro.We sped off to make two trips to bring home all our packed dog gear for the shows. The tow truck eventually made it into our driveway and the mechanic who followed just stood there shaking his head.I knew what that meant. Expensive Going to cost a bundle And, of course, there was no way the wagon was going to work anytime soon. Blown head gasket. Takes time, said the mechanic. By this time it was eight at night and we lived rural and nowhere even close to a rental car agency.To meet our show schedule we absolutely had to leave at 6am to show at 10am.Every car rental in Tampa was closed, except near the airport, an hours drive away and both our daughters, by this time, being Friday night, had scattered.Bemie settled in the new female, and too calmly went about getting supper started and checking all the other Poms while I kept on the phone trying to figure how to get another car. All we had, besides the wagon, was Bemies heavy duty work truck designed to haul a flat bed trailer with 30-50 foot portable buildings not a very good thing to use to get to a dog show.At midnight, I had given up.Bemie was readying for bed. All our show gear was stacked by the front door. The show male was in his kitchen x-pen, barking away, all excited, knowing he was going.In walked my oldest teenager,Leslie. Ha She saw the look in my eye and said,Mother, forget it. My car is too small for all the stuff you carry to a show I said, Well, your sisters car is even smaller and damned if Im driving a red Camaro with dual exhausts thats been revved up for a racetrack by her boyfriend Besides, everything in that Camaro is rigged up with bent coatOkay, okay, Mom, keys were tossed Can I go to bed now I grabbed the keys. Leslies light snapped off, just as the other teenager girl was sneaking in the front door. Quite sure I had long since gone to bed and would never know what time she got in. Of course, I saw a long story coming on and I was too tired to care. Go on to bed, Jackie, and if your sister needs to go somewhere tomorrow, take her in your dam ol Camaro. Honestly, red Camaros At your age I had a lot more sense....But Jackie had tip-toed into her bedroom and I looked at Dusty, sitting there in the kitchen x-pen, panting with excitement and, I do believe, laughing at all us fools. Go ahead, laugh, I told him, This is all for you - and God help you if you lose tomorrow Snap-off went the light and I slammed into bed, too tired to take a shower, but with just enough sense to snap on the alarm.Only problem was, the alarm was programmed, somehow a little genie running around to make a mock of the best laid plans of mice and men for 530 pmBernie would sleep through the second coming and I am always trusted to hear the alarm. Which didnt go off. But the trusty old house cat came to the rescue, a little latebut better late than..........I woke as Sylvester jumped on my pillow and then on my head. Meeooww Translated, this meant, its way after dawn, the suns up, I4 -jr'\\ V,11 i.I\CONTINUEDhangers, I know that boyfriend mechanic of hersI forgot about Leslies boyfriend mechanic. Why do teenaged girls insist on small cars and boyfriends who always have their heads under a car hood Anyhow, it was nearing 1 am and I had to get up at 6 I rolled up my sleeves and caught Leslie sneaking into her room. You are totally selfish, I said. You just want to keep your car because you have something big to do on Saturday Well, Mom has something big to do on Saturday and its not my dog and it has to get there, If he wins he will finish and I cant disappoint his owners and....aka Lois CilibertoThe Pom Reader December 199520it I yelled. Thats it To an optimist, dog-show fanatic like Bernie, there is no such thing as thats it. Shut-up he yelled back, and got out and ran around the car. There were 2 major sized pins that held the door on. The bottom one was missing and the top one had been jammed in halfway, meaning, Leslies door had fallen off before and her under the hood boyfriend had done his usual job, except he forgot the coat-hangerBernie grunted and groaned and shoved and got the door on and jumped back in. Pedal the metal he said, and so I did. He was behind the morning news and Dusty, crammed in the tiny backseat was barking away. I hope you win, I yelled back to poor Dusty and he stopped barking. Good, I muttered. You aint never gonna even get in the ring, how are you gonna winTooling down the highway, we came to the first major stoplight where we had to make a left turn. Bernie peeped out from behind his newspaper and meekly said, Hold onto the door. Hold onto the door What do you mean..., and I was around the corner, one hand on the door handle. What do you mean, hold onto the doorAhem...well, its just hanging here by a half a pin and it could fall off at any minute. NO KIDDINGAll our turns were left ones till we hit the main interstate and were in the clear. I held grimly onto the door at every turn with my left handror the hell with my hair the dog and the handler is the important thing.From driveway to roadside on that property was about 900 feet. As I settled behind the wheel, handing Bernie my coffee mug as he was splashing on the ugg cheap cologne. I yelled nerves frayed For Gods sake, dont get any of that stuffwant breakfast I groaned and rolled over for half a second. Then I shot bolt upright. My God What time...The clock hands pointed to quarter to eight Egads Bernie - wake up We missed-we cant go to the dog show The second coming he might sleep through, but a dog show He was bolt erect in a flash, squawking like a hen being chased by a mean rooster.Its not my fault - who kept insisting on putting the pedal to the metal and caused the blown head gasket Oh, shut up I laid back down. Bernie was up and tossing clothes around. I threw him Leslies car keys. You want to go, you go, youll never make show time anyway, I said.NlvW\\ 'Viiini\V'sThenI realized,Bernie was the handler and I was the manager. Hed never get the dogready, his arm band -----------------onand make the ring without me...and I knew I had to drive. Bernie, then suffering tunnel vision, could not go over bridges or superhighway overpasses. But well never make it I said again. He called me a D.... Pessimist and glared. When that Italian glares, get movingNo time for showers, throw on clothes, toss food at the cat and crate the dog, run to the car and try to cram everything in a 2-door, 4- cylinder, that you just barely cram into a 4-door, 8-cylinder wagon. We made it into the car by 830 am Bernie was still combing his hair and splashing on cologne and I just refused to look in the rear view mirCONTINUEDinmy coffee, and slammed the car door. Something happened, but I wasnt sure what. Knowing we had an hour and a half drive, barring being stopped for speeding, to get to the show site and run like hell to ringside, panting if we made it I didnt take time to figure out what happened.At the end of the driveway leading to the highway, Bernie said, Hey, get the morning paper, so I can read while you-ah-pilot. The paper was on my side and I stopped, opened the door, reached for the paper. Cursing Bernies calm stupidity,Who needs a paper at a time like this, and the door fell off Thatsaka Lois CilibertoThe Pom Reader December 199521and steered with my right, and never got to slurp down that coffee, which is just as well as Bernies cheap cologne had smothered it with an uggy flavor looking back, I realized that cheap cologne was half alcohol and maybe drinking that coffee would have been a big help.We sped past the limit, but saw no red flashing lights and heard no sirens. As the timepassed and ring time -------------------------gotcloser, Bernie managed, by wiggling about, to get the dog from the crate, brush him up, put on his lead and, at the same time, magically get his tie on with its Windsor knot.How he managed this, I had no time to figure. I was too busy hanging onto that damn doorThen, to leave the interstate, nearing the bridge we had to cross and the show site immediately after, I had to make a sharp right.Grabbing that door handle, I sped to the right and Bernie peeked over and said, more meekly than usual, I wouldnt hold onto that door now, if I were you. Why not Gravity, you see. Going sharp right, with the wind just in the right direction and the door which was never tight could swing open and... Lois could go with it Thanks a lot Anything for a dog show. Only I used an expletive-deleted before dog show.We screeched into the show grounds, Bernie shouting directions as we dodged here and there looking for a place to park none in sight, then he jumped out, Dusty in hand, leaving me with one morethought- Dont open the door to get out - crawl out the other sideTo crawl out the other side, I had to get over the 4-on-the-floor gearshift and then scramble to find the grooming case, crammed somewhere in the back and run like hell to find my way into the building and to the ring. Where I found Bernie, armband on, in the ring he had noluck in the group which I knew was useless as the group was full of well- known specials and I was still worried about the car door and crawling back over the 4-on-the-floor gearshift. Also, I had to find the girls room...to do my hair you know.The group was full and there was a handler with a Toy Pxoodle and he went in first. Bernie, whose manager was in the girls room, got in last, still struggling to get his armband back on. The handler with the Poodle was pretty mad when the judge finally walked down the line and put the Pom up front. Dusty could out move any dog and he did, and he won the group and finished with a BANG. Lois just made it to ringside, again, to see Dusty on that group ramp and the Poodle man cussed us out, he said we bought the judge. But I said to him Hey, when you gotta hold your car door on. how can you afford to buy the judgeOf course, this flew right over the Poodle handlers head, but everyone else there that day said I should write this one up in The Pom Reader, and I just, finally, did.Happy holidays to all of you...and heres to all your winsUntil the dog howls again...........95^7"\vMV \ 'vill\CONTINUEDdog brush, the dog had no pre-show prepping, other than what happened in the front seat while Bernie struggled with his tie. And my hair was a messEveryone greeted me with Hi, you just made it and I couldnt manage a smile. 1 wanted to tell them about the other times like driving in my pajamas to the show site and staying out in the car while Bernie won the breed over 5 specials and...but thats another story.Dusty kicked his legs, barked and showed his stuff and went breed and everyone came to congratulate me.

AnonymousThe Pom Reader December 199530has worked into our breeding program very nicely. Great Elms is also part of many of our pedigrees and I must thank Ruth Beam for being a consistent breeder of such nice Poms.After Zack died, we hadnt saved a male out of him for us. Cheryl Bergerson called and asked us if we would like a Zack son back that she had bought as a puppy. We said yes. He was 8 years old. Apolloette for Your Eyes Only was in beautiful shape and we decided to show him and see what an eight year old could do in the show ring. He finished his championship in 2 months. We were very proud that a Pom we had bred could obtain his championship at 8 years of age.AmericanCanadian Ch.Apolloette Afternoon Delight owned by Carolyn Latorre and also Cathy Cinnamon, has been doing well in Canada. He won the Canadian Pomeranian National Specialty in 1994. Again, another excellent mover.We have had numerous Poms who have placed in the groups and who have finished their championships very quickly. The most recent is Ch. Apolleotte Talk for the Town who finished at 6 months and 3 weeks old. We have been fortunate to have bred some really nice black and tans Ch.. Apolloette Wild Fire, Ch. Apolloette A Unique Pleasure and Ch. Apolloette Santana being some of them.We are now showing a male and female black and tan. Apolloette has finished over 50 champions. Right now we are handling a male Pom, Ch. Rodis Mr. Rocky Road, for Diana Solano, and he is number 2 Pom in the breed standings. Ive hit some of the highlights of the show careers of just a few of our Poms. The Poms have been a big part of our lives and we have had a lot of fun with them over the years and have met some wonderful people. Raising and showing dogs is not without heartaches but the good times do make up for the bad times.When Marlin and I look for a show puppy we look for movement, a cobby dog, with good lay back of shoulder, typey and a good, outgor.t8DELMONTEKennel ClubGROUP THIRDjr'y.- y-S8 ____-Above Ch.

Apolloette Ever Ready RockyCenter A Typical Apolloette pupBottom Ch. Apolloette Moonlite GamblerGrooming and trimming seems to be a very controversial subject at the moment. We like our Poms to be well groomed and clean without being overtrimmed. Feathering is part of being a Pomeranian and trimming off all the guard hairs sculpturing and having all the pants and feathering trimmed off is taking away from what a Pomeranian truly is. Our standard calls for the body coat to be Double coated a short, soft, thick coat consisting of guard hairs which must be harsh to the touch in order to give the proper texture for the coat to form a frill of profuse, stand off, straight hair. Hindquarters are clad with long hair or feathering from the top of the rump to the hocks. By trimming off all the guard hairs and pants and feathering we are not following our standard at all. Our Poms are no longer the furry, beautiful Pom they were meant to be.Marlin and I love and enjoy our dogs and hope we will be able to enjoy the sport of dogs for many years to come. To our family, thank you for understanding when we couldnt be with you and were away at dog shows. To all our friends and people we have met in the fancy, we want to thank you for helping us, for advising us, for lending an ear when we needed to talk, for educating us, for working with us, for your encouragement, for enjoying all the good times and the bad times, for just being there. Special thanks to the many judges who have judged our dogs and appreciated what we have tried to accomplish with them.The Pom Reader December 1995tipiWe hope during the time we have been involved in dogs, we have been able to help someone else along the way. Hopefully we will be remembered as people who cared about animals and people. There is no greater pleasure than to help a friend with a simple act of kindness, a smile, a word or a deed.
