I do know, however, that all of the candidateslisted on the nominating slate are equally qualified to hold the position theyare running for and each candidate has the best interest of our breed andClub at heart. I feel comfortable in saying that it will be an honor and apleasure to work with a Board of twelve dynamic people, all of whom arewilling to speak up, speak out, and work together as a team, doing all that they can to further the AmericanPomeranian Clubs goals of improving, protecting, and preserving our Pomeranian breed and our National Club.I must admit I am anxious to get started in my Presidential role and yet the thought of trying to fill the shoes ofthose who came before makes me somewhat apprehensive. Fortunately for me, two of those who came before,Marge Kranzfelder and Margaret McKee have both graciously offered their advisory help anytime I need it. Iplan to take full advantage of their expertise. I just hope I dont burn up their phone lines with my questions.I think we would all agree that it takes a strong Board to properly manage a National Club but, are you awarethat the cooperation, suggestions, questions and yes, even the complaints of every club member also play a hugerole in the management of the club While it is the duty of the Board to speak for, and act on behalf of the Club,it is also the duty of every club member to communicate to the Board their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with thedirection of the Club. I hope that each of you will feel comfortable in speaking with me or any other Boardmember we want to know about your concerns, questions, suggestions, etc. While the Board cant alwaysimplement every suggestion, fix every problem, or satisfy every complaint, we will fairly discuss and carefullyconsider every issue that comes before us.I hope you are planning to attend the March 2007 Nationals in Louisville. A Must Attend Event this year will beAPCs firstever Top Twenty Event. Not only is the Top Twenty Event elegant it is also suspenseful and loadsof fun you wont want to miss it.Another event everyone should attend is the, The Pomeranian Charitable Trust Seminar. Linda A. Frank, MS,DVM, will speak on Hair Today Gone Tomorrow Or what is Black Skin Disease, anyway The knowledgeand information to be gained from Dr. Frank is sure to be invaluable to every Pomeranian breeder, handler andowner.January 1 is the deadline for Membership dues if you havent done so already, send your check to Erika,A.S.A.P.Have a Happy New Year and Ill See you in Kentucky.2007 JAN FEB Pom Review.p65 12142006, 532 PM28i i i i nI te m the PresidentC ^EZ^ffi 3X\\VCynthia C.

Thank you to all the judges who appreciated Seema.HandlerOwnerBreederHandlerDonna MachniakLinda DeciccoA30 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWA sk Us Anything Annette Davis, CNOur question for this issue is What herbs can I safely use on my PomMost herbs that are safe for use on people can also be used to help care for dogs. Of course, it is very important to dosethem appropriately and be aware of potential side effects. Herbs are powerful and when used skillfully can be extremelyhelpful. If used indiscriminately, you can cause toxicities or other side effects.I will highlight few safe and effective herbs that I use often. There are a number of good books written by veterinariansand animal care professionals that can guide you in choosing and safely using other herbs see list below.GingerEnergizing herb useful for nausea, GI distress, fatigue, and lack of stamina. Cut a small slice of fresh root then wrap it in apiece of meat or hide the dose in a favorite treat. Other alternatives are a pinch of ginger powder, a small amount ofproperly diluted essential oil, or dry extract capsules. Give before car rides in dogs prone to motion sickness, before mealsfor GI distress, or morning and evening for dogs struggling with fatigue or lack of stamina.GarlicVersatile herb that has been used for thousands of years as a natural antibiotic, to strengthen the immune system, and tohelp control parasites. Modern research has shown that it also helps to lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of cardiovasculardisease, reduce the risk for cancer and stabilize blood sugar levels. A small amount of crushed fresh cloves, a pinch ofpowder, or capsules intended for pets can be given daily.Caution avoid large doses which may cause toxicity andor exacerbate thyroid disease.ChamomileCalming herb useful for nervousness, hyperactivity, indigestion and skin problems. The tea can be added to drinking wateror used as a topical rinse. A tiny amount of properly diluted essential oil can also be used.PeppermintBalancing herb useful for digestive complaints and topically for itching. The tea can be added to drinking water or used asa topical rinse. A tiny amount of properly diluted essential oil can also be used.Tea Tree OilBroad spectrum antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, wound healing oil. A small amount can be applied topically as needed.Lavender OilCalming, soothing oil useful for nervousness, hyperactivity, aggression, and skin problems.

Many pet products containing citronella are readily available. Citronellamay cause skin irritation in sensitive pets. Other insect repellant oils include eucalyptus citriodora, cedarwood,peppermint, lavender, rosemary, geranium, and lemongrass. Properly dilute all essential oils before use generally 10 dropsessential oil per 1 oz of carrier for full body application or 20-30 drops essential oil per 1 oz of carrier for partial bodyapplication.Below are a number of excellent reference books which can be ordered from www.amazon.comHolistic Aromatherapy for Animals by Kristen Leigh BellVeterinary Aromatherapy by Nelly GrosjeanHomeopathic Care for Cats and Dogs by Donald HamiltonThe Holistic Dog Book by Denise FlaimHerbs for Pets by Gregory L.

Several were BISA,BISS winners, many Group Iwinners and Group placers, andnumerous breed winners.Notable BISA winners wereBISA Ch. Southlands Mr.V.I.P.

Southlands Toast to Bev-Nor Poasty. Even fanciers who did not like meloved Poasty. She was the 1 Pom bitch in 1985, a multiple Group I winner, and BOS winner at two NationalSpecialties as a young dog. Poasty continued to win BOS at the APC National from the Veteran class, BOS atWestminster twice, and numerous BOS at other Specialties. She loved to show better than any Pom I have everseen. I showed her in the veteran class up into her teens and she would always get a standing ovation, with tearsflowing from mine and many spectators eyes. She, in my opinion and in many others, is one who should have2007 JAN FEB Pom Review.p65 12142006, 533 PM32i i i in4,14 44APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 33been a BISA winner, but that honor eluded her. But,in my heart, Poasty will always be my Number 1BIS winner.Line breeding and some inbreeding are thecareful breeders greatest tools. But careful isthe operative word. You must be sure neitherparent has a major fault. In order to getconsistent type, line breeding is a must. Breedersthat bounce all over the place will never developa consistent look you must have direction.By choosing a direction, setting goals, selectingthe best gene pool possible, with love,dedication, hard work and by the grace ofGod you may have a show Pom.I want to give credit to all the breeders who havegone before me that helped me be successful. I couldnot write this without giving credit to my mentor,Kennel Visit ContinuedsBISA CH SOUTHLANDS MR. V.I.P OIDABISS CH MAJESTICS CHANGE YOUR LUCKBeverly Norris of the famous BEV-NOR line. Bev no longer breeds, but we have remained lifetime friends andstill stay in contact. Bev still has a love for Poms and likes to hear whats happening. Without her, there wouldhave been no Southland. To you, who are new in this wonderful breed, study, research the pedigrees, and learnwhat were the successful lines that have made their mark on the breed.People in our history like the Mattas, Roses,Schoenburgs and many others in our history providedthe foundation of our Poms in America. Kennelssuch as Sun-Gold, Model, Texican, Dixieland,Cavalier, Showstopper, Bonner, Great Elms, CornDuke, Bev-Nor, Millamor, Jan Shar, Oakridge, TimSue and many others are names that have left adefinite positive mark in the history of our Poms.Longtime successful breeders like Ken andEleanor Miller, Olga and Darrell Baker, Bill andBev Norris, Anna Lafortune, Tim and SueGoddard, Erika Moreau, Ruth Beam, and othersare willing to share their knowledge. Ask them.They will help any newcomer.It would be impossible to mention breederswithout emphasizing Ruth Beam. Onefamous Pom handler said, Ruth Beam hascontributed more to Poms in the United Statesthis century than any other breeder. Her dogsare in the pedigrees of so many great ones.Everyone is familiar with BISA, BISS, Ch. Great ElmsPrince Charming and his accomplishments, but many do not realize that2007 JAN FEB Pom Review.p65 12142006, 533 PM33i i i in4iWa nANFjn. yr1-, fi 1 I V4 4 i fiSf v434 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWKennel Visit ContinuedGreat Elms is behind so many of our top winning BISPoms. Do your research and you will be amazed.There are many Poms of the past that represent suchdedication from breeders. Some Ive only seenpictures of, such as the Matta dogs, Ch.

Theywould not be here had I not arranged thebreeding. Therefore, it is myresponsibility to see that they do notbecome purely a commodity. They are notjust show dogs to come out of a crate forthe show and then put aside. They must beLOVED above all else. Unfortunately, Iand the best moving Pom Ive ever seen Ch.Thelduns Almond Fudge, the soundest Pom Iveseen Ch. Great Elms Prince Charming, Ch.Tim SuesHarbour Lights, Ch. Tim Sues High Lights, Ch.Preshus Petites Gabriel, and, of course, Parker.There are many others, but those are just a fewwho have caught my eye as the type Pom I like.Thanks in large part to the breedersmentioned above, and many not mentioned, inthe time Ive been in Poms, I think Poms haveimproved. There are different types within ourbreed, but to me a Pom must be sound moving,typey, pretty, but fox like expression in head,have a high head carriage and be animated. Ilove a regal appearance I think we need tobreed for soundness more and seek inearnest to decrease faults and hereditaryproblems.My entire philosophy of Pom breedingis based on a deep, deep love for my dogs.2007 JAN FEB Pom Review.p65 12142006, 533 PM34rm i i i in4iK LLv pW4 4.

I only have eight Poms left at my house. Allare geriatrics and deeply loved. My goal is to outlivethem so I can be sure they are taken care of in their oldage. As a true lover of the breed and adedicated breeder, I hopethat before Im gone, my contribution to the breed willbe recognized as having had the ability to create a dogthat was so prepotent with good qualities that hisconsistent good qualities were passed from generationto generation, and that they could still be recognizedas having come from Southland years down the road.In closing, I can only echo the words of RuthBeam, Let us not be satisfied with what we alreadyknow, but forever seek new knowledge in bettercare and breeding of our little friends.Special thanks to The PomeranianReview for this honor and to the manyfriends that have made this venture so much fun.2007 JAN FEB Pom Review.p65 12142006, 533 PM35i i i in4v4 4w\436 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWI have bicycled over 100,000 milesin my lifetime. When my wife and Imarried, she did not know how toride a bicycle. For some reason herparents never taught her how toride. One of the first things that Idid was to teach her how to ride. Itbecame painfully obvious that heridea of riding and my idea of ridingwere completely different. She washappy to go around the block Iwanted to ride for hours. Her speedwas somewhere between slow andvery slow. While I am not a speeddemon, I enjoy a more rapid pace.The only practical solution to theproblem was to buy a tandem ortwo-seater bicycle. That way wewould always stay together. I didnot have to worry about losingtrack of her and she did not have toThe Bicycling Pomeraniansstruggle to keep up. So we went to a local sporting good store and bought a tandem bicycle.Shortly after we bought the tandem, we purchased our first Pomeranian, Annie. Annie has the foxy look andweighs about 6 7 pounds. She has papers but certainly is not a show dog. About a year and a half later weacquired our second Pomeranian, Sadie. She weighs in at 4 pounds.My wife felt sorry for the Poms when we would leave to go riding as they had this forlorn look that seemed toplead for us to take them. After some crocodile tears on my wifes part I gave in and said that we would see if wecould train them to go along. I had some grocery bag carriers that fit on the back rack of the bicycle. Wemounted those and put some towels in the bottoms of the holders. We then put one dog in each side and startedwalking the bike along with the dogs in the carriers. Amazingly neither of them tried to get out. After walkingaround for a short time we decided to try and ride a little with them in the carriers. We have never looked back.In our neighborhood we have achieved a certain amount of notoriety because of our Poms and the bicycle. Weget stopped in the grocery store and asked if we are the people who have the puppies and the bicycle.Freeman and Lindy Mendell off for a ride with Annie, Sadie and Josh.By Freeman MendellLeague City, Texas2007 JAN FEB Pom Review.p65 12142006, 534 PM36rm i i i i4I1sm1 ^t 1 m rPiiUmk w55,4 4.'t4APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 37Everyone waves, many laugh. Most say as we ride by, Look there areTWO of themA few years back I met our local Medical Examiner who, as it turns out,has a Pomeranian. He lived not far from us and we had talked aboutgetting together with the dogs. One day he saw me in a business settingwhere we had met and remarked that he had seen the strangest thing. Ayoung couple in his neighborhood has a tandem bicycle and ride aroundhis neighborhood with Pomeranians in the back of the bike. He was justamazed. I told him that I was not sure how young that couple was but itwas my wife and I and our Poms.A few times we have gone on organized bike rides in the area. One groupputs on a ride each year where you can ride distances from 10 to 100miles depending on the route you take. They have rest stops set up every 6 8 miles with drinks, candy bars and fruit including watermelons. We getmany comments from all of the riders passing us, as we are not veryspeedy. We usually ride the 30-mile ride, which takes us 2 3 hours as westop at every rest stop. With all of the people wanting to pet the Poms andmake over them while they eat their watermelon, it takes a while for us to get out of the rest stop. One year aswe were closing in on the last rest stop before the finish, a woman had fallen and was having her knee bandagedby a paramedic who had comeacross her. We slowed to make sureshe was ok and then went on. Aswe were sitting in the rest stopfeeding the Poms their lastwatermelon, the bandaged womanrode in on her bike, obviously veryfrustrated at having been injured.She parked her bike and plopped ina lawn chair next to us anddisgustedly said, I cannot evenbeat the PomeraniansA couple of years ago an elderlypoodle, Josh, joined our household.He is a rescue that we took in. Joshnow rides with us too. So we havethe two Poms on one side of thebicycle and Josh on the other. Joshweighs about the same as the twoPoms combined. We are pullingaround about 20 pounds of dogs.A fellow who lives close to us tookthe pictures in this article. He hadseen us riding with the dogs. Hethen started looking for us.

Quite the trick at timesThe PCCI members out did themselves with a bountiful, beautiful buffet and an abundance of treats-n-toys. This was theplace to show your pups and load up on the loot, too.It was a rare treat to see an angel, lion tamer, little Bo Peep, and all the other costume participants. As laughter filled theroom, we were once again reminded, what a joy it is to own these little smiling Pomeranians. All the proceeds of thecostume contest went to the rescue fund.A FEW TRICKS AND A LOT OF TREATSPCCI Match and Costume ContestA special thanks to club members Janice Russell, Sherri Aslpaugh and CathyGould for their continued dedication and hard work to making each of theseevents a soaring successThe PCCI extends our gratitude to all who attended and participated in our fallextravaganza.

The skin and hair isconsidered a mirror, or outward _expression, of the general healthof the body. Loss of hair is usually a symptom of another disorder.Hair follicles, skin, and the lining of the gastrointestinal tract areactive tissues with a high rate of regeneration and replacement. These are the tissues which are first affectedwhen some sort of toxic substance is ingested. For instance, when receiving chemotherapy for cancer, the sideeffects include GI upset such as nausea and vomiting, and disturbance of the hair follicles, causing a usuallytemporary alopecia. Alopecia is a common symptom for many conditions, and can indicate an upset in thenatural chemical balance in the body. Poor circulation can also result in alopecia.Other causes of alopecia can include hormonal imbalances, allergies, immune deficiency, stress, parasites,infections yeast, fungal andor bacterial and nutritional deficiencies.Many of our Pomeranians have been affected by a condition known as Alopecia X. This condition is a type ofnon-inflammatory alopecia. It is also known as black skin disease or coat funk. Non-inflammatory means thatthe skin is not itchy, inflamed or irritated. The diagnosis of Alopecia X is made when all other causes of hair losshave been ruled out. Characteristically, the hair thins on the thighs and trunk, progressing to baldness in thoseareas. The head and distal extremities are spared. The longer guard hair is usually lost first, which leaves thefuzzy puppy-type undercoat which is eventually lost also. The skin eventually darkens. It is not inflamed or itchy,and does not normally get infected. Hair regrowth following clipping is slow or absent. The age of onset of thiscondition is variable, ranging from adolescence to adulthood. The condition has been noted to be familial inoccurrence. Dogs have been noted to be affected more frequently than bitches. Spitz or nordic breeds are mostcommonly affected. This disorder has become a significant concern for our breed because of its widespreadoccurrence. Complicating the picture is the fact that many differing treatment options can be effective, leading usto believe that we are dealing with not one single condition, but possibly many different, separate problems.The fact that we usually see more males than females with Alopecia X could mean that this is a sex-linkeddisorder. However, because the results with breeding have not proven predictable in this manner, it could be thatthis disorder is polygenic...requiring two or more genetic factors to occur....or the disorder could be sexinfluenced.In other words, the inherited tendency toward development of coat loss may be there, but unless acertain trigger occurs such as a certain hormonal influence, then the dog will not go on to develop symptoms ofcoat loss. Note that in these situations, the dog would still carry genetic factors for coat loss to pass on tofollowing generations, even though he himself may not display any symptoms.2007 JAN FEB Pom Review.p65 12142006, 537 PM52I I I I I i i i in4.4 r I4 44APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 53Many endocrine hormonal disorders produce symptoms of coat loss similar to Alopecia X. These includethyroid disorders, adrenal gland problems, growth hormone deficiency, and sex hormone imbalances. Neuteringof affected dogs and bitches will sometimes cause hair regrowth, supporting this last theory. If your dog starts to develop a hair loss problem, your vet will likely first check for parasites, allergies and othercommon conditions. He may then decide to check thyroid hormone and cortisol levels. Skin biopsies areconsidered if thyroid and adrenal hormone levels are normal. A biopsy may determine if the alopecia is nothormone-related, but instead related to abnormality of the hair follicles such as sebaceous adenitis or colordilutionalopecia. Skin biopsies in cases of Alopecia X may show a miniaturization of hair follicles, with the skinnormal to decreased thickness. A skin biopsy is suggestive, but not confirmatory, of Alopecia X.The thyroid gland controls metabolism through the entire body, and deficiency is often manifested first by loss ofhair and cold intolerance. Upon diagnosis by a blood thyroid panel, oral thyroid hormone replacement will benecessary for life. Proper balance of thyroid hormone is necessary because too much circulating thyroidhormone is just as bad as too little high levels of thyroid hormones can cause rapid heart rate as well as alopecia.Alopecia is also a symptom of Cushings disease, a problem in which the adrenal glands produce excessivecortisone-type hormones. Cushings disease is also characterized by hunger, thirst, and a pot-bellied appearance.Cushings disease can be due to overactivity of the adrenal gland itself, or the pituitary gland which stimulates theadrenal gland. Cushings disease can also be the result of administration of cortisone-type hormones for otherconditions such as allergies, arthritis or asthma. These cortisone-type hormones include vetalog, azium,prednisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone, depo-medrol and others.Treatment of Cushings disease with Lysodren mitotane is sometimes attempted by veterinarians. This drugerodes the adrenal cortex. It can also affect the sex hormones which are produced by the adrenal glands.Lysodren is sometimes used to treat adrenal sex-hormone alopecia. In one study, 12 of 12 chows were noted torespond. In another study, 4 of 6 dogs were noted to respond. However, if the adrenal glands are damaged toomuch by the Lysodren, an adrenal steoid deficiency known as Addisons disease can result, so Lysodren treatmentneeds careful monitoring by a veterinarian. A symptom of Addisons disease You guessed it....loss of hairTrilostane is a drug which is used to treat Cushings disease. It interferes with the adrenal gland production ofsteroids. In an Alopecia X study done in 2004, positive response was noted in 13 of 16 Pomeranians, and 8 of 8miniature poodles. Trilostane is well tolerated, but is expensive and must be ordered from abroad at present.Growth hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland and is necessary for hair growth and the maintenance ofnormal elasticity of the skin. Dogs affected by growth hormone deficiency have varying degrees of hair loss anddarkening of the skin, but are otherwise healthy. Assessment of growth hormone or serum insulin-like growthfactor IGF in response to a growth hormone stimulant can be done for diagnosis. Growth hormoneadministration has been tried for Alopecia X. This type of treatment is very costly. In addition to alopecia,growth hormone deficiency is associated with a form of dwarfism known as pituitary dwarfism. Growthhormone levels affect blood sugar... excess growth hormone can result in diabetes, while growth hormonedeficiency can cause hypoglycemia, dwarfism and alopecia.Cyclic flank alopecia is related to endocrine disorders, and may relate to light cycles, because hair loss andregrowth tend to be seasonal. Some affected breeds are the Airedale terrier, Affenpinscher, Bearded Collie,English bulldog, Boxer, and Scottish terrier. Treatment with the pineal hormone melatonin is sometimesattempted.Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland, a pea-size structure at the center of the brain. As our eyes register the2007 JAN FEB Pom Review.p65 12142006, 537 PM53I I I I I i i i in44 4454 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWfall of darkness, melatonin production begins. At night, melatonin is produced to help our bodies regulate our sleep-wakecycles. The amount of melatonin produced by the body seems to lessen with age. Scientists believe this may be why youngpeople have less problem sleeping than older people. Melatonin is also believed to act as an antioxidant. It reduces freeradical damage, stimulates an aging immune system, protects the cardiovascular system, preserves a youthful circadianrhythm and stimulates the production of growth hormone. Oral melatonin supplementation has been found to be effectivefor hair regrowth in 50-75 of these cases of cyclic flank alopecia. It should be administered in the evening, due to thenatural sedating effects.Melatonin interacts with another hormone produced by the pituitary gland, prolactin, which regulates seasonal shedding andstimulates lactation in the bitch. Elevated prolactin levels result in the heavy shedding in bitches who have recently whelpeda litter. Interestingly, prolactin is closely related to growth hormone.Diagnosis of Alopecia X may be based on response to therapies. Neutering is recommended initially. If neutering isineffective, oral melatonin supplementation may be tried for a three-month period. Melatonin is noted to produce partial tocomplete coat regrowth in 50-60 of cases. Should melatonin therapy fail, methyltestosterone administration may beattempted. However, this can cause liver problems and aggressive behavior. Should melatonin or methyltestosterone fail tobe of benefit, sex hormones are measured by blood tests. If adrenal sex hormone levels are abnormally high, treatment maybe attempted with mitotane Lysodren or trilostane.There are some other drugs which have an effect on the adrenal hormones. These have been used for Alopecia X treatment,with varying results. The drugs include Prednisone, anipryl, ketoconazole, leuprolide and cimetidine.There is data to suggest that Alopecia X may be a primary hair growth disorder a genetic predisposition to the developmentof a local defect in the hair growth cycle, rather than a hormonal condition. There is also a theory that certain hormonesmay adversely affect the hair follicles in genetically susceptible dogs.There are ongoing research studies on the possible heritability of Alopecia X. Liz Hansen at the University of Missouri isinvolved with one such study. She is happy to report that due to recent advances in technology for mapping canine DNA,some painstaking advances are being made in research. Liz is sending out a plea for more participation in this study. Sheespecially needs blood from the normal, nonaffected close relatives of dogs affected with Alopecia X. A close relative wouldbe considered a sibling littermate or same breeding or a parent of an affected dog. By examining the chromosomes thatdiffer between the relatives, they may be able to further isolate an area which could be responsible for an inherited alopecia.For more information on the study, seehttpwww.caninegeneticdiseases.netAlopeciaformALOP.htmor contact Liz email HansenLmissouri.eduby phone, 573-884-3712Once Alopecia X is considered as the most likely diagnosis, no further workup may be necessary if the owners are willing tolive with an alopecic pet. Risks of therapy must be weighed against the benefit of enhanced appearance.OTHER CANINE GENETIC COATLOSS CONDITIONSThere are some other genetic conditions associated with alopecia, including seborrhea, dermatomyositis, and sebaceousadenitis.Follicular dysplasia is a term for a genetic non-inflammatory alopecia in many breeds. Black hair follicular dysplasia is ahereditary alopecia in dogs with some black fur. A genetic defect in melanin transfer and hair shaft formation is thought tobe involved. This is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, and has been noted in the American Cocker Spaniel, bassethound, beagle, border collie, dachshund, Gordon setter, Parson Russell terrier, papillon, pointer, saluki and schipperke, aswell as mongrels. Hair loss occurs in the areas of black patches of skin.2007 JAN FEB Pom Review.p65 12142006, 537 PM54I I I I I i i i in44 44APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 55Wooly syndrome is common in Siberian huskies, and occasionally affects Alaskan malamutes and English springer spaniels.Primary hairs are lost and the undercoat is crimped and dry, like wool. Alopecia may occur in pressure areas.Saddle alopecia is seen in Airedale terriers and Portuguese water dogs. Hair loss occurs on the dorsum in a saddle-likepattern.Greyhound alopecia is more prevalent in working dogs, and stress is felt to be a prominent causative factor.Color dilution alopecia can occur in dogs bred for unusual hair color. The dilute form of black to blue and red to fawncaused by dd dilution is associated with this disorder. Not all dd homozygous recessive dilute dogs develop alopecia.There is considerable breed variability. Blue and fawn Doberman pinschers are commonly affected. The main breedsaffected are the Bernese mountain dog, Chihuahua, chow chow, dachshund, Doberman pinscher, Great Dane, Irish setter,Italian greyhound, minature pinscher, saluki, schipperke, Shetland sheepdog, standard poodle, whippet, Yorkshire terrierand rottweiler. Note that only the dd color dilute specimens in these breeds are affected.Coat dilution alopecia is seen in Irish water spaniels, Portuguese water dogs, and curly-coated retrievers. Hair loss isattributed to fracture of the hair shafts.Spiculosis refers to a hair follicle defect in which hairs are brittle and thickened and form nodules known as spicules. In alllikelihood, the defect originates from abnormal fusion of primary and secondary hairshafts, with an onset between 6 and 12months of age. The mode of inheritance is unknown, but the condition primarily occurs in male Kerry blue terriers.X-linked ectodermal dysplasia is a rare condition seen in German shepherd dogs characterized by symmetrical areas ofhairlessness, together with missing or misshapen teeth.Alopecia areata is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by non-inflammatory focal alopecia. The production ofautoantibodies against the hair follicle results in loss of hair, most commonly on the head and neck, but may occuranywhere on the body.Vitamin A responsive dermatosis is seen in the American cocker spaniel, Cairn terrier, and Labrador retriever. Zincresponsivedermatosis occurs in Alaskan malamutes, American Eskimo dogs, Samoyeds, and Siberian huskies, as well asDoberman pinschers and Great Danes. These conditions are not the result of a dietary deficiency, but of a geneticpredisposition to poor absorption of either Vitamin A or zinc, respectively. Massive doses of vitamin A and zinc maydemonstrate improvement in the affected dog.As is true with many characteristics, these alopecic conditions are often hereditary. This possibility should be consideredwhen formulating breeding plans.ReferencesAckermann, Lowell, DVM, PhD, The Genetic Connection, a Guide to Health Problems in Purebred Dogs, 1999.Iwasaki, Toshiroh, DVM, PhD, Non Inflammatory Alopecia, WSAVA 2004 Conference.Rosenbaum,Michelle, VMD Focal, Non-Inflammatory Alopecia A diagnostic, treatment challenge, June 1, 2001.Rosychuk, Rod A.

Alot of the preliminary work that can be done by breeders will also help the puppies if they are headed into theConformation ring or into pet homes.

This is afun game to play with any puppy, even if youre not looking for a future OTCH dog. Get ten margarine tubs, anysize, and cut a hole in the bottom that is big enough to drop a piece of treat through. As your puppy watches, set outtwo or three of them upside down, and place the treat on top. Let the puppy find and eat the treat. Do this a fewtimes, until she is racing out, looking for the treat. Now drop the treat into the hole of one of the tubs, and when shefinds the right one, lift it up and let her get the treat. You can do this one or more times a day, increasing the numberof empties, and rearranging them into straight lines or groups of tubs, spreading them apart, or moving them closertogether. When your puppy has the idea, dont let her see you put the treat in, and begin using your scent command,i.e., Find it Ive no idea who originated this game, but remember reading it a few years back using shoe boxes withholes cut into the sides it may have been in a Front and Finish article.

Katie Gammill - Lerna, Illinoisindcrk13011consolidated.netwww.indiancreekshelties.comI have been watching with interest the brouhaha from the sidelines regardingthe AKCs attempt to register pet shop puppies. This came as a surprise tomany and emotions run high. Understandably, the AKC registration of dogshas decreased over the years. Without getting technical, lets address this issuefrom both points of views. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Whether petshop registration is a good idea or not, I, personally, am still mulling over.However, rather than let emotions blur the issue, I am searching for clarityregarding both suggestions. Let us go through the process that triggered thissituation initially. The bottom line is, IF kennel owners, breeders, and theAmerican Kennel Club work together, there will be an acceptable solution forall concerned.My first thought too, was one of disbelief. After all these years, arewe are back to square one Lets address how we arrived at this place ofdisagreement.1. DNA became a requirement after a stud sired seven litters.The puppy mills simply walked away and started their own registries. Onecannot force compliance. We must accept all puppy mills are NOT filthyestablishments. Many are state-of-the-art facilities. Perhaps these puppies donot receive proper socialization in our minds, however, people forced to makea decision that affects their bottom line will find their own solutions.2. Limited registrationThis is a good idea and encourages pet buyers to spay and neuter their pets bycontract. Those in rescue are overwhelmed with unwanted dogs and workhard to relocate them. Breed Rescue is difficult at best and those involvedcertainly have my admiration. However, those pet owners who do NOT breednow take away from the AKCs bottom line.3. AKC added additional registration fee for each puppy in a litter.Do all breeders register all of the offspring of a bitch with the extrarequirement This is thought provoking. If not, this affects the AKCs bottomline. Many pet buyers just want a registered dog and they are unconcernedwith WHICH registry is on the papers.4. Health testingThis is important for our breeds. Breeders must convince the pet buyers theworth of their puppies regarding such testing. Here is the problem. OneTOPOINTSPONDERpuppy must be perceived to be worth more invalue for specific reasons than another puppy.Take into consideration the area from whichthe puppy is purchased. Many breeders form acoalition and set an asking price. The puppy ishoused on their facility, socialized and caredfor, until such time a buyer is found that agreesto pay such price. Many pet people are drivento pet shops due to pricing and what theyconsider breeders demands during the initialinterview for the purchase of a new puppy. Iwould like to add Cross breeds are NOThealthier. There simply is no documentation.The fittest survive as nature intended.It is all about marketing, area, health, andsocialization. If an AKC breederkennel has apet puppy for sale for 1200.00 and someoneelse has the same breed for 400.00, thenormal PET buyer will look elsewhere,especially if heshe feels hassled by ourinterviews. Yes, I ask the same questions ofnew buyers.In the absence of good and valuable reasons toperceive the AKC puppy is of more value, thenthere is a great problem. WE CALL ITMARKETING If breeders and the AKCcannot convince the public their puppies areindeed worth more and are of a bettervalue than puppy mill offspring, they lose by2007 JAN FEB Pom Review.p65 12142006, 539 PM64I I I I I i i i n40 riit ^X1 44APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 65default.There are two kinds of value the actual value, and the perceivedvalue, of a puppy the same size and same age. What one personwill pay for a puppy, another would think exorbitant. Inmarketing, there is a price where the consumer will either pay orwalk away for their desired purchase. This leveling is where thebreeders must find directions if they are to convince the publicAKC puppies are indeed superior. On to the attempt to register pet shop puppies.1. If pet shops registered puppies AKC on line ON ALIMITED REGISTRATION, the AKC would receive up frontrevenue to pursue future projects. This would discouragebreeding by the pet public.2. In turn, this allows the AKC to offer literature on the petshop site regarding responsibilities, opportunities such as agility,rally, fly ball, obedience, CGC and new venues. This wouldencourage people into the sport of dogs and perhaps increaseinterest and camaraderie.Now Breeders might consider starting a positive campaignregarding WHY their puppies have more value than the pet shoppuppy.1. See the parents on the premises.2. Lifetime support regarding questions.3. Health guarantees.4. Home placement in case of unavoidable situations.5. Assistance regarding inoculations and grooming of said dog.6. Proper socialization.7. Clean premises.Many reasons may be offered to support the breeders expertiseand dedication, as well as support the bottom line of theAmerican Kennel Club. Perhaps the introduction of such achange should have been handled differently. The fact thatpeople were not aware of the action, many felt bamboozled.Not being consulted in the first place is what started this furor.Had there been open and intelligent discussion with the board,delegates, and those responsible for the suggestion, or action,emotions would not have taken over.Understandably, when breeders question new puppy buyers, thepuppys care and environment are their biggest concerns. Withavailable pamphlets from the American Kennel Club as to Whyto buy from a breeder, we could turn this around and make it alivable situation for all. The world cannot be changed by a singlestroke of genius. On the other hand, you cannot legislate policy.For every action, there is a reaction.BOTH THE AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB AND THEBREEDERS HAVE SOMETHING WORTH FIGHTING FOR. Ifthey do not pool their efforts, neither may be there for tomorrow.Stepping back and reviewing the situation from all angles mayassist in better understanding by both parties. Only through opencommunication will we find the answer that benefits us all.Points To Ponder ContinuedWhen things get tough, you really find outwho your friends are. Dog people are thegreatest This summer, I became ill. When Iannounced on the local Pomeranian Club ofCentral Virginia site that surgery wasscheduled for mid-September, three wonderfulmembers - Beverly Allen, Becky Johnson, andKay Lyman - came forward and offered totake dogs for an unspecified period. To try tomake it easy for them, I asked them to meetme at the next PCCV meeting to pick up thePoms, which they all did. My daughter alsocame and got four. Kay came to my houselater and picked up three more. As it turnedout, taking them early was a godsend as mycondition deteriorated rapidly after that. Allthree insisted they could keep themindefinitely, took great care of them, andcalled or e-mailed occasionally to report thatall were well. On average, they kept themeight weeks.On Saturday afternoon, September 23, Ireturned home from the hospital to learn tomy amazement that the dog fairies had beenthere that morning. Six members of myobedience club had come out to clean thekennel and bathe dogs. One even left agorgeous cake. I was overwhelmed by theirgenerosity.Of course, there was the usual flurry of phonecalls, e-mails, flowers, and casseroles, manyfrom dog friends.I expect many of you can tell similar stories.We dog people can be a cantankerous bunchat times, ask any Board Member, and wesometimes get all riled up over petty issues.But when one of our own is in trouble, wecome throughTrueFriendsBy Margaret McKee2007 JAN FEB Pom Review.p65 12142006, 539 PM65I I I I I i i i in44 4466 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWThe Pomeranian Club of Greater Houston Christmas PartyThe Pomeranian Club of Greater Houston held its annual Christmas party on December 8, 2006.
