TraunerShowSightfrom the editorGO WEST, YOUNG POM, it said they did, and the people that love them followed right along...You cannot travel much farther from my home in Florida and still remain in the continental United States one doesnt make the trip to Washington State without a very good reason. When invited to judge Sweepstakes for the American Pom Clubs 96 Summer Specialty I had several things to take into account one, a very heavy workload two, a very heavy workload, and three a very heavy workload. To devote the time necessary to such a trip is not a decision one makes lightly. It took me all of 23 seconds to say Yes.And thats because a Specialty affords luxury that the average all-breed showcannot afford it is a time to renew acquaintances and meet new friends a time to learn from the greats and share knowledge weve been lucky enough to acquire a time to see Pomdoms finest strut their stuff in large, exciting numbers. It is, in short, the ultimate celebration of the breed and the people who work to keep it strong. That these gatherings are not only educational but also a great deal of fun is the icing on the cake.We had no doubtthat the cake itself would be a masterpiece with Marlene Marlin Presser as guiding lights any event would be well-run. From beginning to end this Specialty cluster showed all the signs one would expect from two past masters at the helm.One could not have found a better show site than the West Coast Tyee Hotel in fact, its not a well-kept secret. As Pom people were moving out, Dalmatian people were moving in for a Specialty of their own. The hotel staff went overboard to make sure that dogs and people were given the red-car- pet treatment. All efforts were made to ensure comfort and security for Poms and people alike. And from all reports everybody thanked the hotel in the best way possible I did not hear one complaint from the management about the dogs. As finding hotel space for dog- related functions is one of the sports pressing concerns at present, I was proud of my fellow Pom lovers and their respect for the property of others. It is my understanding that the hotel is to be razed and a new facility built in its place. We can only hope that the new Tyee Hotel will be as dog- and dog-owner- friendly as the old. In any case, it was a great place for a show and a fine time was had by all.Si 0STAJ^11889APCSummer National SpecialtyAugust 7-9,1996 Olympia, WashingtonP.

The expertise represented on the panels was fairly daunting Obedience evaluation was the job of Pamela Weaver, Noreen Gonce Cartwright, and Jill Jones for CPC,APC and PSPC, respectively Sweeps awards were presented by Marlene Presser, yours truly and Nadine Hersil, and toplisting the events were Regular Class judges Jean Schroll, Jackie Liddle Stacy and Fred Bassett. I must admit to an attack or two of nerves prior to arrival, for the responsibility such an assignment carries is large I said as much to my best friend and partner, Duane Doll, and this was his adviceYou know what you like, and what you like is the Standard. Just go in and find it. That what I like would be present in such large numbers was an event I could not have foreseen.With total entries topping out at 175 the three days were a veritable bonanza for a Pom lover looking to find good Poms. All the judges agreed that the depth of quality across the board was pleasantly high parties and socializing notwithstanding it was apparent that all had come to Washington with one main purpose to showcase this breed we love so much. The Poms we saw were evidence of the good work breeders are doing, work that has put the breed in the great shape it presently enjoys. Next month we will share comments and critiques from the judges they are enlight-r.U 7ss71ueningand encouraging. And although the highlight of my trip was the time I spent in the ring, placing a very close second was the time I spent with the lady largely responsible for the breeds current high status the President of the American Pomeranian Club, Dolly Trauner.Mrs. Trauner is a woman I have admired for many, many years her dedication to this breed and this sport is truly legendary. With degrees in animal husbandry and genetics her grasp on the problems that face her fellow breeders is firm her natural abilities have made her a leader respected and loved by all. The stroke she suffered some time back may have slowed her speech but it certainly didnt dull the razor-sharp mind even on our best days its always been hard to keep up with Dolly. I wish her many more years of good health, because we love her...and because we need her. More about Washington next month in The Pom Reader, where every day is Pomeranian Appreciation Day. Until then I hope you always remember that only through cooperation and fellowship will this breed continue to grow, improve, and thrive. There is nothing we cant do when we work in concert, from Washington to Florida, from New Hampshire to New Mexico, all across America...from sea to shining sea.THE PUGET SOUND POMERANIAN CLUB The Pom Reader September 199612 RUDY S GIRLS ATCDauaMaaucuaM^.T. nu.X5CH.VALCOPY WAKHAX VALENTINO x VALCOPY WAKHAN RED RIDING HOODTHANK YOU TO BREEDER JUDGE JEAN SCHROLL FOR THIS WONDERFUL WIN.Thanks to Hideko for handling our little dynamoVALCOPYDANAL.

It isnt possible to have it cheap, good and fastIf we look for a discounted or cheap rate, we must be prepared for a difference in quality and perhaps a long delay, and less help when we really need it. Sometimes, people who are just starting a business will charge less to get more business. Those who offer better services for less are quickly swamped with business. The only options are to charge more or ask their customers to wait for the services. In some instances a new business partner is hired and we are asked to start seeing them and we no longer see the person we started with.If we want an instant solution for our problems, we must be prepared to pay for it or get less than perfect results. There are some problems that do not have instant fixes and take time to solve. If an animal has spent years developing a behavior problem, it is unreasonable to expect a cure overnight. If weexpect a fast solution, we may not be able to get the most qualified person.If we expect the highest quality work, we must be willing to pay more. The most qualified people are usually the ones who are most busy. A specialist may be the only one who can solve the problem. Most professionals have a waiting list and increased rates for work-ins.When we feel we want it good, cheap and fast, we must consider the long term effects it will have on our animals.nm ID YOU KNOW...Contrary to wide- spread belief,Champion bitches can free whelp, care for their offspring, and still keep a coat...So often we hear wonderful stories about the past greats. Dogs that were special and were remembered for their great accomplishments during their lifelong careers. All of us at one time, have had a very good Pom that has been outstanding in his or her prime and would like people to hear about it. However, many gounnoticed or unrecognized and unappreciated until their short life is over.Recently, Louise and Neal Sprouse visited Benson and me and it was a fun afternoon of talking Poms, exchanging experiences, and looking at pictures. This was a great way to relax after we had all stuffed ourselves on a wonderful meal prepared by Benson. I encouraged Louise and Neal to do an article on the most influential little girl at the Lu-Neals home. The following is an account of Ch. Great Elms Teaka of Lu-Neals.This little girl is not a past great, but very much alive, and has been a very busy Pom during her lifetime. Her name is probably unknown to most of you, but even though she might not be on the top ten list of world achievers, her pedigree speaks for its self.Ch. Great Elms Teaka of Lu-Nealswas always a champion, even when she was only one day old, in the eyes of her breeder and owners, Louise and Neal Sprouse of Greenwood, South Carolina. Teaka was one of three puppies, and of course being the only girl made her even more special to them.

She is a pretty orange, has a correct coat, high tailset, and has an outgoing personality. In the past few years, she has gotten a little bit more reserved due to her age or perhaps she knows that she can be aloof after all her accomplishments.Little did Louise and Neal know when Teaka was bom that she was not only going to be their first champion, but that she had the capabilities of producing champion offspring more than once, and that she would become the most influential little girl in the Lu-Neals breeding program by being the most consistent in her reproduction and never having to have a C section.As the years have passed, Teaka was bred to a variety of lively boys and she always rewarded Louise and Neal with high quality offspring. They became a family very proud of Teaka. I want to mention that Teaka has always produced at least one girl in every litter and that she never loses her coat before or after whelping litters.Teaka has all Great Elms breeding behind her except once with BenRay Poms and once with Millamor Poms. Ch. Great Elms Timmy Timstopper is out of the famous Great Elms Bobby Beam and the memorable Great Elms Sweet Candy. Even though the Sprouses bred Teaka to a variety of excellent males, she always produced the same typey, showy little kids that she herself was made of.Teakas first litter was in February of 1991 after being bred to Ch.Great Elms Sweet Prince. She free whelped three puppies. One of these puppies became her firstchampion, Ch. Lu-Neals Chip of Teaka.From then on Teaka was bred to other top quality Champion males and from these breedings always free whelped males and females. Many of these puppies were deserving of their championship but were sold to be family members in homes where having a loving pet overruled the show circuit at the time. Showing dogs was limited due to health problems Louise had to face.Teaka has been the Sprouses dream, and unlike most dreams, this dream has come true and the dream continues on in her progeny. From a recent litter, Teaka has a son, LuNealsMakin a Mark currently nearing his championship shown by Mary James. She has three more offspring soon to hit the show ring.I want to thank Louise and Neal for sharing their dream with us. In a breed fairly well known for troublesome whelpings and girls who never quite regain their glamorous coats following motherhood, it is refreshing to share the story of a little girl who could do it all.See you next monthSharon Masnick2007 Vestry Drive Charleston, SC 29414by Sharon MasnickThe Pom Reader September 199617NOBLE POMERANIANSPOMINIQUE DREAM CHASERCh.

These common hazards can be neatly sidestepped if we remain aware of them, realize how damaging they can be and resolve not to succumb to their unhealthy effects. In doing so, we not only become better dog fanciers, we also enhance our opportunity to be the owners and breeders of better dogs.Kennel blindness is pervasive, throughout the dog fancy, sapping the objectivity of every affected individual. If we as dog keepers, aiming for the best quality possible in our stock, can not see the flaws as well as the strong suits in the stock, we are in deep trouble. Those persons who are seriously kennel blind will not only not be able to upgrade the quality of their breeding and buy wisely they will unwittingly a bet the loss of quality in their own dogs because they wont be able to see it slipping away. By the time the kennel blind fancier becomes aware of the problem if ever, the damage is done, mediocrity is established and heroic efforts are in order to get ones thinking and perceptions back into a constructive groove once again.The whole purpose of participating in competition with other fanciers is really to compare breeding stock. That purpose is sadly diminished in todays version of the sport, but it is so nonetheless. We all want our dogs to win as frequently as possible, but we know its more likely that they will lose far more frequently than they will win.The wise fancier accepts this and takes this fact of dog showing life as an incentive to breed and own the best possible dogs, show them in the best possible condition under judges who would be expected to select this type within a breed. The wise fancier also knows when, given the caliber of the competition,it will be an easy stroll to the winners circle, an exciting contest between a number of deserving specimens or whether there is no way. This is part of what makes showing dogs as they should be shown, a true pleasure.Strive always to maintain a sense of balance and objectivity in your own view of your own dogs. Never sell them short, but as you take pleasure in their virtues,The Pom Reader September 1996be honest about their faults. In this way, you have as good a chance as possible of not becoming one of this hazards sad statistics. But, be warned there is yet another fancier hazard which is a variant of kennel blindness. It, too, is pervasive and youll know it when I describe it. I call it......Mary Yellow Syndrome. A fancier is affected with MYS when he or she shows the same symptoms we normally associate with kennel blindness. The difference is the mis-evaluation is applied to a friends dog rather than ones own. We have all endured the well-meaning, if unsolicited verbal panacea of an associate delivering a postmortem on a dog of ours after a defeat. We would all be better served to do without such.This person may not even be from your breed and may not know enough about your breed to even form a valid opinion. Indeed, from outside the ring what can an MYS sufferer really know about the dogs in competition or what the judge seeks or finds upon which to base judgment The answer of course is Nothing Mary Yellow Syndrome is a self assumed proxy outrage. The logic is Mary Yellow is my friend, so her dogs are the best and if they dont win, the judge is either an incompetent, a crook or both. The name is my creation.The behavior pattern is the fancys.What could be more annoying than coming out of a ring with your latest hopeful only to be greeted by a well- meaning fool all set to tear into the judge of the day because you, not your dog, did not win MYS can only be cured by the resolve of the affected person. Sadly, most who suffer from the disorder never realize they have it. And its safe to say that if many affected knew they had it, they would probably do nothing about it. Beware of Mary Yellow Syndrome even ifyou need to embark on a lifelong course of objectivity to overcome its dire effects. At the risk of making a really bad pun - MYS can really leave your perspective permanently jaundiced.Another common hazard that makes regular inroads with dog fanciers value judgments is the distressing tendency to hold an opinion of a person against the merit of a dog. We have often been admonished that it is acceptable to breed to a dog owned by our worst enemy if he is the best consort for our bitch.Thats really true, but for most of us it takes an enormous leap of restraint to do this.Judges are often put into the position of overlooking the actions of, shall we say, strongly focused competitors in order to make objective judgments on the dogs before them. This is not simply limited to aggressive handling. If aggressive handling was all it took to strike the right balance, it would be easy to do so. There are gambits - in use like telephoning judges to appeal to them for wins. There is intimidation and all the other tiresome maneuvers to bring those wins in. Quite often the dogs that are the object of these efforts dont even need such help. Many have quality enough to compete on their own merits, but the human side of the equation never sees this and tries a tack chest full of absurd ploys to win underhandedly when it is so much easier and more satisfying to win honestly.Those who truly know what their dogs are and know the deeper satisfactions of the sport do let their dogs merit speak for itself. Given a fair chance a good dog will proclaim its own merit more effectively than any trickery or posturing ever could.Seymour WeissfMarOHC Pomeraniansmsi wBEST OF BREEDOR VARIETYinternational KENNEL CLUB OF [g CHICAGO5106'- Ace Hicyli DealerWe are very proud of this Best of Breed, over specials, at the Chicago International under Jackie Stacy.Asa would also like to thank Judge Wanner for the Group 3 from the classesat the Oshkosh show.Watch for Asa in the ring with Lloyd and Raeleen Graser.Thanks Lloyd and Raeleen for your wonderful presentation of our boy.Congratulations Fran Stoll on your kennel visit.

Box 313 Lutz, FL 33549-0313The Pom Reader September 199636fc\L2AKA Lois CilibertoLYMPIADogs Howl AndTHERE ARE HEROES AND HUUKScarlet is a heroine. You probably saw it in your own newspaper, as her story seemed to go around the world. She is what cat clubs and veterinarians call a domestic shorthair feline their upscale new fancy term for the old alley cat. My own cat is one of those, domestic shorthair, but I still gaze into her inscrutable green eyes and call her alley cat. She gazes back at me with dignified disdain and I know she knows I love her and am kidding. She is really a Princess Royal in disguise, although she has not, and I fear never will be, a national heroine.Because she never will be, unlike Scarlet, if she wound up in an animal shelter she would be euthanized as quickly as the law allows. In my county, that is 3 days from entering the front door, which ends in exiting the back door of death. She would also, being frightened out of her wits and on the defense, no doubt howl, hiss and bite. That means even faster euthanasia.Bite the animal control employees and you get a sign on your cage.... Not for adoption, bites, Eut. Eut, as you have guessed is short for Euthanasia. One bite and youre dead. Your head goes to the lab tocheck for rabies and your body winds up in, at best, an incinerator, or, at worst, in a bag that ends up in a local university where you are picked out of a barrel of dead cats and used for study by anatomy and biology students.But back to Heroes, or in this case-our heroine Scarlet.Scarlet made headlines from Port Washington, N.Y. after she repeatedly entered a burning building to rescue her five 4-week-old nursing kittens. Scarlet got her name from the red patches of skin that showed through her no longer recognizable coat, which had been singed so badly no one could tell its original color.Scarlet, by her motherly heroics, had her ears badly burned, her eyes blistered shut and her paws as severely singed as her coat. A firefighter coming onto the scene found 2 kittens curbside to the burning building and three others curbside across the street. He instantly recognized what Scarlet had done.Scarlet had repeatedly entered that badly burning building, carrying each kitten safely outside. Then tried to carry each across the street, out of harms way. Her eyes blistered shut,badly burned, Scarlet still nosed each kitten to make sure she had them safe. The firefighter got Scarlet and her brood to the North Shore Animal Rescue in Brooklyn, where her photo, surrounded by her broodlings, was duly taken and flashed throughout the media. Instantly the animal shelter was deluged by people willing to adopt Scarlet and her kittens. Scarlet went through much care and eventually another, happier, photo was flashed through the media of Scarlet, ears misshappen but happily alert, eyes unblistered and dignified, as she was held in the arms of her carefully chosen adoptive new human. All her kittens received equally loving homes. Scarlets original coat color will never be known , but her new fur came in black and white, the legendary colors of villains and heroes, respectively, which gave me the title for this article.The story of Scarlet and her kittens had a happy ending, because she made a heroine of herself. There are occasional other heroes or heroines, either canine or feline, who make the national media through performing heroic acts, or because they were found mutilated and torThePom Reader September 1996Continued37tured by uncaring humans. These, too usually wind up with a happy ending.But for millions out there, their story ends with one last shot. Several Sundays ago our newspaper published a 2-page article, with some pretty horrible graphics, regarding our countys animal control shelter. This animal control shelter system has to take in an average 9,628 animals per year, of which 78 out of every 100 dogs and 97 out of every 100 cats will wind up dying on a cold, stainless steel table. This newspaper article was titled down to their last shot and showed pictures of animals being euthanized by the fatal needle and carcasses lined up in rows, being given final pulse tests by shelter employees before being dragged off to the incinerator.For most of these unfortunates the last gentle pats of the shelter employees readying them with a pre-death tranquilizer and hugging them close as the last shot is given, is the only love they have ever received. However, some have been loved before and find themselves bewildered when they wind up in an animal shelter cage, wondering where their beloved, but villianous, humans have gone. Many villains drop them off at the shelter, or on a roadside, without a backward glance. Many come in with their sad stories I have to move, my landlord wont let me keep a pet anymore or shehe is in need of veterinary care I simply cant afford it.Disposable paper plates, disposable plastic glasses, disposable dogs and cats. Youve heard me say it before. Ho Hum. We are bonafide purebred dog fanciers, it is not our fault these shelters are overwhelmed and that these millions of animaldeaths occur yearly. Or is it our fault The statistics at animal shelters and from rescue workers in all breeds of purebred dogs and cats tell a different story. More and more purebreds are becoming a large part of the disposable animal society. Why The foremost answer is that breeders over-breed and since they cant all be show quality, that leaves breeders or pets. Of the latter, many refuse to use the word pet and sell only what they call breeding quality. Sometimes this is quite kosherand sometimes it is downright dishonest in the light of the buyer being duped. However that may be, very few of our purebreds are sold on a sprayneuter basis or, at the very least, without the benefit of the AKC limited registration portion of the papers being utilized.The next answer is breeders who start out right, get overloaded and cant keep up, or who decide that there is money to be made in selling large quantities, and finally the animals wind up in a filthy kennel situation and sooner or later someone reports them and the animals have to be rescued. For many of these, the rescue happened far too late, andmany wind up being given their last shot.Another answer is that the seller sells with all good intentions and the buyer buys with all good intentions, but somewhere along the line the buyer breeds and cant sell the puppies for what is deemed according to the price they paid for what they bought the right price and pretty soon the offspring wind up in the local newspaper for sale cheap and thereby enter the disposable society situation.And then, of course, there are the continual kennel auctions. On my desk sit 2 auction offering sales that took place in recent weeks concerned purebred fanciers sent me these fliers in hopes I could do something. Some purebred clubs did their best on these, as they have tried to in the past, but there simply isnt enough money to buy up 45 Yorkshire Terriers, 26 Maltese, 28 Shih Tzu, 33 Bichon Frise from one auction sale by one party who was retiring from dogs or 10 Pekingese, 7 Shih Tzu, 18 Bichon Frise, 7 Silky Terriers, 11 Poodles, 7 Boxers, 11 Yorkshire Terriers, 32 Chinese Cresteds and 21 Pomeranians offered at another auction sale, by 2 parties.My particular disgust, in reading these offerings are the following blurbs accompanying the sale announcementsGeorge and I have been breeding and selling pups for 25 years and the kennel has been very good to us, but due to retirement we feel this is the best way to disperse of our stock and equipment. My Shih Tzu have been the base of many a kennel.For over 20 years we have been dedicated to breeding and raising nothing but quality dogs for the pet industry. We are extremely proud ofv44\SjSMlThe Pom Reader September 1996aka Lois Ciliberto38Continuedour dogs and our kennels, but our other involvements are beginning to take up too much of our time. Its time for our labor, dogs and facilities to help some one else grow.With this comes the auctioneers note The [owners] have gotten involved in the Professional Pet Association goals of education and legislation. They are also involved with Missouri search rescue and drug interdiction teams. With 20 years of raising quality pups, if you attend this auction you will like the breeding stock and good equipment.I hand-picked much of my foundation stock in England and chose stock with records of free whelping, good nurturing instincts, excellent milk supply and that consistently produce large litters.These remarks are self- explanatory, and apparently, help move the dogs at these auctions, and, besides knowing that some who are reading this are saying Lois is at it again, I know others are saying, This is all very sad, but these auctions have nothing to do with us. In a way they dont, but in other ways they do. These people didnt get these dogs off a tree, like picking plums, and in many sale ads I read, or faxes or phone calls I receive advertising quantity sales, the same thing is going on. Numbers are being offered, with no qualms attached as to where the animal will wind up, and, without fail, the potential sellers announce themselves as show-breeders.Yet, I know my efforts fall on mostly deaf ears, or on ears who prick up and want to know what guts how they can get on the auction list so they can buy some of this great stuff, or on ears whose lips call me names unprintable and undauntinglyask me what in the world is wrong with them selling, pointing out that every breed magazine in the world and magazines like DOG FANCY. THE AKC GAZETTE and DOG WORLD have all sorts of advertisements listing quanitites for sale from well known kennel names, if they can, why not meWhy not me is a good question. My answer is two wrongs dont make a right and what in the world is in this quantity selling except bucks, and I dont mean male deerSo, I will receive another bad report at the home office and be accused of all sorts of things, but frankly, My dear, if I can change even a teensey weensey piece of this kind of action, which leads, in the end, to the final shot, I will keep up the good work, ignoring my detractors, since the vast majority of caring people constantly urge me to do soAnd if you want the auctioneers addresses or phone numbers, so you can get in on these sweet deer deals for smaller bucks dont call me. My notions of villains and heroes are quite different from that, and I would love to provide you with the horrific graphic photos of lovely,healthy and unwanted animals who are down to their last shot.And for the many who have phoned me about the sweet deals that went sour and nobody cares and you feel helpless, buck up you are cared about, even though there is nothing I can do to help you recover the money you lost. Chalk it to sad experience, and from now on check and re-check before your funds go outIn closing, I am going to offer the phone number of the official AMERICAN POMERANIAN CLUB representative who will be happy to help you for referrals when you buy. I no longer will refer anyone to anyone, as this is not really my job and it gets moi in too much trouble. If you dont like what you bought, its my fault, and if I say so-and-so is not the one to be trusted, I am in worse trouble, as my remarks are taken as representative of THE POM READER itself and this is clearly not acceptable to me.Daytime Jane Lehtinen Pom referrals only 218-741- 2117.For other breed referrals call The American Kennel Club, at 900-407-7877.

Cumberland Rdv Noblesville, IN317773-5912The Pom Reader September 199640Knock, Knock Whos ThereTHE POIVI READER VISITSXXu NFran StollmWashington, Indiana Ch. Stolannes Texas Tumbleweed creamAlthough dogs have always been a part of my life, Terriers, not Poms were my first love. Peggy, a tan Terrier was my first very own pet and was at my side as we explored the farm and helped Dad tend to the farm animals. During my teen years my Mother bred a few Chihuahuas and I thoroughly enjoyed assisting her with the whelping and caring for the puppies. As I recall, her dogs were very good quality and she bred them very carefully to improve her line, but she was never interested in showing. Even then I enjoyed lead training the puppies and grooming the long coat varieties.When I married, my pet was a Chihuahua-Terrier mix named Lita, call name for Estrellita or little star. When she died an untimely death, my replacement pet was a black poodle, whom Ibred a couple times for the enjoyment of whelping and training the puppies. My opportunity to own a Pomeranian came when I met a lady who had a nice black female puppy and was willing to trade her for a silver male Poodle puppy. Although this first Pom died when she was a few months old, the bug had bitten and I was on my search for another Pom. I located a breeder in a nearby town who had a litter of Poms and I placed a deposit on another black female puppy who was only two weeks old. At that point I really knew nothing about the Pom standard of show quality Poms but just knew I liked the breed and their personalities.To show a Pom or to own a champion Pom was a dream that I held onto for many years. Since I knew no one whohad any show experience and had no idea how to begin I continued to breed a few good quality pet Poms and helped my daughter train her Pom for 4-H obedience competition. I became so interested in this aspect of showing that I volunteered to be one of the leaders of the 4-H dog club called Bark n Bite.Through my veterinarian, then, I met Nancy Fry, who had some show experience and was breeding some show quality Poms. She gave me the addresses of a couple of the Pom magazines and I became a subscriber. It was in one of the magazines that I saw a picture of a Pom that reminded me of a favorite pet male who had just died of a heart attack.When I learned that the dog belonged to Opal Dumler of Colorado and that we were planning a vacation to Colorado theThe Pom Reader September 199641A Breeders Dream - Three bitches in a litter and all ChampionsLeft to rightCh. Stolannes Mystique Starlet Ch. Stolannes Mico Rockelle Ch. Stolannes Sweet Ginger BlossomAft9Inext month, I hoped that this might be my chance to buy a show quality puppy and launch a hobby of dog showing. Ms. Dumler was most gracious when I telephoned her and invited me to visit her kennel. After spending a few hours with Ms. Dumler, I chose a well-balanced orange sable bitch puppy. This puppy, O My Starmist Minuette, became my foundation bitch and has achieved R.O.M.X. status by producing eight champions, two of which are group winning specials with Thor having won a Best In Show. This was probably my wisest investment on the way to producing show quality Poms. I shall always be grateful to Ms. Dumler for being so patient and understanding with a newcomer to the show scene and for entrusting me with one of her bestSoon after I bought Misty, Nancy Fry bought a female puppy from Francis Wright Wright Way Poms whom she promised to show. She invited me to get one of yours and go along with her and her daughter, Jenny, who would handle the puppy. The Kentuckiana Cluster was soon and since Louisville was near, we chose this site for our debut little did we know that this was the largest show in the nation that year. Nancy carried her few grooming supplies in a plastic bag and when she talked about purchasing a catalog at the show site, I had no idea what she meant. After observing other exhibitorsequipment and supplies, we decided that one purchase we should both make was a grooming table. I can truly say that I was as green as they come and am very grateful to those who have coached and tutored me along the way.HISTORY IN COLORSWith the focus of this Pom Reader issue on the exotic color Poms, I shall share some of my history and experiences with the various Pom colors. Since my first Pom was black and my first show dog was black, I really did not realize that this was not the preferred color until I started showing. At my first show in April, 1986, my little black male was reserve to a four point major and a couple people told me that I should have won, but he was the wrong color This was my first clue that black probably was not the best color to start out with, but with persistence and many mistakes, he finished his championship with four majorsWhen I attended the A.P.C. Summer Specialty Show in Brush Prairie, Washington in 1992,1 met Nan Shartel who was sitting with the spectators holding a lovely white puppy. I was immediately intrigued with the color and expressed my interest in owning and showing a Nabob White. That fall Nan sent a darling little white boy to me, and although he was in the puppy uglies and his tail was down most of the time, I was in love. Al grew to be one of thesweetest and most devoted males I have ever shown. I never had to guess if he would bait and be enthusiastic in the ring he was always on. When he completed his championship this past January, I realized my promise to Nan that he would be a Nabob Champion, and with his first white puppies on the ground, I believe he will be a strong factor in producing show quality whites.Although I have admired the unusual colors in Poms, I never dreamed that my line and especially Thor would produce chocolate. Kisses was bom to a cream champion Stormy daughter and was the third puppy in a litter of three. I never thought of chocolate as I dried the dark puppy until I turned her over and saw the chocolate nose. I was ecstatic and ran to show Darrell my new prize, but, of course, he was not nearly as enthused as I. It is a new experience as I am showing her now, but I have every reason to believe that she will be Thors first chocolate champion.My partnership with Evelyn Newyear came as a result of her friendship with Nan Shartel and her co-ownership of Al prior to my acquisition of him. Although I have not met her personally, we talk on the phone nearly every week and send many letters, photos, and pedigrees back and forth. She is very much a supporter of the whites and exotics, and has been the source of much encouragement and generosity as she shares my goal thatThe Pom Reader September 199644Top leftBISSBISA Ch.

However, I realize that it is important to keep black in the line for the rich color and I am exploring that aspect for quality, too. I am sure there will be many trials and errors in the pursuit of this goal, but I accept the challengeMeeting new people and making new friends are the best reasons for dog showing. Sharing successes and disappointments as well as asking for and giving advice are aspects of friendship that Pom people know best. The generosity and unselfishness of Mary, Janice, Evelyn, The Pom Reader September 1996Donna, Lynn, Renee, Vicki, Pam, and Dianne are unmatched and appreciated beyond expression. I also find it so refreshing to be in the show ring with competitors who are friends and are willing to offer congratulations and best wishes regardless of who is receiving the purple ribbon. When showing and breeding Poms becomes more stressful than enjoyable, I will call it quits since I have enough other stressors in my life.Finally, treating others the way I would like to be treated is the goal that guides my activities. I would not have experienced the successes that I have if it had not been for many who have helped me and I want to do the same forothers. Sharing grooming, whelping, and breeding tips, as well as honestly presenting my Pom to the potential buyer are characteristics for which I want to be known. And for those clients who have entrusted their precious babies to my care, I want them to be assured that I will care for them as I do my own during the time they are with me.Thank you, Pom Reader Staff for the opportunity to present Stolanne Poms and share my experiences and views.

This is especially true of my own breed, which explains why I was really looking forward to the national specialty.My favorite pastime at such shows has always been to window-shop the dog classes and Breed for likely stud dogs. And the last national gave me a lot of impressive young males to mull over.Regardless of your tastes, there was bound to be a dog present to whet your appetite. They came in a variety of makes and models from the solid, strapping American boys to the sleek, stylish Europeans. It was a real smorgasbord of stud dogs, and it was interesting to sort them out and weigh their potential. It was great to be given plenty to pick from.Or was it.While I found myself appreciating the spectrum of types that happened to be on parade in the ring that day,I have no doubt thered be many other breeders who would be downright shocked and upset by the variation found in these same dogs.Variation is usually not considered an admirable term to be used in the area of pure-bred dogs, where it is considered a duty to strive for levelness in type. Anything else is considered detrimental to a breed.There is only one true type, and that is the type which is described in the standard How many of us have heard that one Probably all. That phrase is supported to such a degree that it is almost set in stone for many breeders, and the sport as a whole.Well, it may be thought of as gospel by breeders, but is this train of thought an absolute necessity for a breed Indeed, is this even a statement that can be applied to dog breeding, regardless of how widely it is supportedBreeds of animals are actually artificial subsets of a species, designed by humans for a particular purpose and kept as separate breeds only by the diligent selection of bloodstock on the part of the owners. They are selectively bred to look and or perform in a specific manner for the benefit and or amusement of human beings. Breeds can most easily be distinguished from each other by differences in physical characteristics what we call type - developed to aid the animal in accomplishing the job it was designed to do. Breeds of animals are not a natural phenomenon, and most would die out in a single generation were it not for the interest of human beings.Now, as I write this, I happen to have snoozing at my feet a pile of dogs that are all of one breed. As they snore away I can look at them and identify each at a glance. So could anyone else who has experience with the breed, for each thanks to their sires is somewhat different in type, and by the breed standard they dont resemble peas in a pod. Yet my non-doggy neighbors are always astounded that I can call each dog by name, as to them the whole pack looks virtually identical.In comparison, I am now looking out the sliding glass doors overlooking the deck and watching as a pair of Sciuridae Carolinesis pussyfoot along the top of the fence planks that make up the dog yard Ill admit up front, I cant tell one from tother, anymore than I can pick these two out from their relatives that infest my yard.Same goes for the hordes of Tamias Striatus that spend the summer munching on the petunias and driving the dogs nuts by placing their burrows right under the deck, scant inches from the snuffling noses of my mutts. From April til October I have to continually keep an eye onBY PAMThe Pom "'adek September 1996 GUEVARA49all the dogs. One of them is always willing to try chewing big hunks out of the deck planking in an effort to reach to reach these little critters.I don't think Im the only one who cant see much difference when it comes to telling individual grey squirrels and chipmunks apart. They all look amazingly alike to these myopic eyes of mine.Fact is, if you look at almost any sort of wild animal you are going to find an adherence to type that would probably be the envy of many in the dog game.The close resemblance they bear for each other is nothing short of amazing. I dont doubt thered be many a dog breeder that would part with their eye teeth to be able to produce purebred dogs with the same degree of accuracy.While it can be little argued that Mother Nature is a very successful kennel manager, it must be remembered that she is also a very unforgiving one as well.There is an excellent reason for the uniformity in appearance that wild animals display - they must be totally sound and functional for the niche they were designed to fill. There is no space for pets in the outdoors. The slightest deviation from the required type, unless you are an improvement, means you're going to get knocked off. So, among wild animals there is rarely any variation in type that would be noticeable to the casual human observer.Domesticated breeds of animals, however, are a different situation, even though at times I get the impression from the dog breedersthat they wished that wasnt the case. While Mother Nature believes in a strong policy of stringently culling those that arent absolutely true to one type, human breeders neednt be as strict in their requirements for the animals they produce. And that news isnt all bad. If we were as strict in our reasons for culling, chances are that none of our breeds of dogs would ever have a chance of developing in the firstplace, as they defy the whole concept of natural selection.No matter how hard you try, youre just never going to get the cookie-cutter sameness in a breed of animal as you are going to find in a wild species of animal. I even have my doubts that there is real wisdom in attempting to bring that situation about, considering that the genepool of most breeds of dogs is already so small that if their registered numbers were compared to those of wild species, most breeds of pure-bred dogs would probably be considered as endangered species.Because pure-bred dogs are a manmade invention, there will always be a certain amount of personal opinion involved in the decision of exactly what is the proper interpretation of any written standard. I have always felt that it is possible to have enough uniformity in a a breed to be able to easily distinguish it from all others, yet still allow for a healthy variation in type that permits a degree of flexibility concerning the translation of that same standard into a real dog.I can understand how all this might soundlike heresy to many veterans of the dog game. So be it, however, I have also noticed that oftentimes those who hold a strict belief about there being only one true type in a breed tend to be so hidebound by their own prejudices that they are incapable of appreciating any view point other than their own. And thats unfortunate for them.So, is there only one true type to be found in a breed Of course not. Breeding dogs has always been an imperfect science, and the written standards generously worded in enough areas as not to demand that show rings be filled with clones. As long as thats the case - and it always will be - there will always be room for differing opinions and breed types to compete in our show rings.Pam GuevaraWhile it can be little argued that Mother Nature is a very successful kennel manager, it must be remembered that she is also a very unforgiving one as well There is an excellent reason for the uniformity in appearance that wild animals display - they must be totally sound and functional for the niche they were designed to fill There is no space for pets in the outdoors...The Pom Reader September 1'52LIBERTI POMERANIANSStella M.
