I hope youare traveling to Louisville or relaxing in your room at the Executive Inn asyou read this issue of the Pomeranian Review. For those of you who cantmake it to Kentucky this year, I want you to know that you will be missedand I sincerely hope you can make it next year.The passing of the Animal Ordinance in January created some legitimate concerns about the safety of ourPomeranians during our stay in Louisville. However, by researching the ordinance and speaking with thecoordinators of the Kentuckiana Cluster, the Board felt our Poms would be safe if we practice the followingprecautionsA Crate all Poms any time you are not in the room with them.B Keep your dogs on a leash any time you leave your room.C Carry your show entries and rabies certificate with you any time you leave the hotel with your dogs.Please be assured that this Board will continue to work with the Kentuckiana Cluster and the hotel managementdoing everything within our power to insure the safety of all of our Poms while in Louisville.I would also like to take this opportunity to dispel any rumors concerning the 2008 National. First, the Boardhas not appointed a committee to search for a new show site this is not to say that we are not keeping our mindsopen to the possibility of moving the National. However, it is the responsibility of the Board to consider, studyand explore all options and possibilities before making any decisions or recommendations that will ultimatelyaffect the Club and its members. The Board will continue to keep an eye on Louisville for any revisions orchanges to the animal ordinance and a report stating our findings and recommendations will be given at theAnnual Membership Meeting.On a more pleasant note, I am pleased to say that the dark cloud cast over Louisville with the passing of theanimal ordinance has not stopped one APC volunteer, committee chairperson, or Board member from doingeverything in their power to make the 2007 National a fun, educational and successful event. I am equallypleased that so many of our APC members have supported the Club with their entries, donations, catalogpurchases, seminar, banquet and room reservations. Pomeranian folks are truly the best, and I am proud to saythat I belong to this great group of people. Thanks to everyone for all you do.See you in Kentucky.2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 703 PM26I te m the PresidentCynthia C.

Is there anything I can do to helpSeizures are temporary electro-physiologic phenomena of the brain. Seizures can, but dont always causeinvoluntary muscle contractions convulsions and loss of motor control. Epilepsy is a condition characterized byrecurrent seizures. In dogs and humans, it is one of the most common neurological diseases. Not all seizures,however, are caused by epilepsy. Injury, hypothermia, hypoglycemia, poisoning, nutritional deficiencies, braintumors, distemper, parasites, low blood calcium, thyroid, liver, and kidney disease can all cause seizures. Somedogs experience one seizure in their lifetime and some experience multiple seizures every day. Epilepsy can begenetic so dogs with the disease should not be bred.While they can be frightening to watch, most seizures last less than 5 minutes. Other than moving your dog to asafe place, no immediate intervention is required. Never restrain your dog or attempt to put something in hismouth. Seizures that last more than 5 minutes are a medical emergency. Call your veterinarian for adviceimmediately.Conventional therapies for epilepsy involve the use of anti-seizure drugs such as Phenobarbital. A natural, wholefoods diet in combination with herbal therapies used in cooperation with proper veterinary care can be a viablecomplement or possible alternative in some cases.Below are several herbs and supplements that can be helpful in the management of seizuresMelissa Lemon BalmPassionflowerLavenderChamomileValerianHopsSkullcapSalmon Oil Essential Fatty Acid SourcePet Tabs Plus Multi Vitamin and Mineral SupplementAvoid the following essential oils which may trigger seizuresHyssopRosemary2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 704 PM30--'-rMARCHAPRIL 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 31gFennelSageFurther reading is recommendedHerbs for Pets by Gregory L.

Medallion is behind almost all ofour dogs today. While the sensible thing in starting inPoms would have been to buy a bitch, we wouldnever trade the opportunity to have owned Medallion.We owe so much to him, from learning about Poms,grooming and showing, to the friends we madebecause of him as well as the legacy he left as a sire.He was also our housedog and a beloved family petfor almost 13 years.Did you have a mentor when you beganJH When I met Chris, I had already been verysuccessfully breeding Pembroke Welsh Corgis.When the handling got too busy I gave up the Corgisbut I tried to apply what I had learned when westarted breeding the Poms together. Chris and Idisagreed on the number of bitches we needed to besuccessful, but like so much in life, we compromiseduntil it worked. I would have to say that Ken andEleanor Miller and their dogs were the biggest influencein Chris beginning, I think she would agree.CH Definitely Not only were the Millamor Poms ourfoundation but also Ken and Eleanor have remainedlifelong friends. Tim and Sue Goddard, and Olga andDarrel Baker have been friends from the very firstAPC Specialty we attended and we count ourselveslucky to have these wonderful people as friends andmentors. But I still say I could not have done what wehave done if it were not for John. We make a goodteam. He has ideas and pet peeves as do I but theyare not the same. We often banter back and forth. Ilike the dog, he likes the bitch, or vice versa whenwatching a litter grow up.John has the ability to look at a puppy in a whelpingbox and say, There is something wrong with it itwould have to be really sick before I noticed anythingwrong. He has an uncanny sense for the health ofbaby puppies. He also does most of the tube andbottle-feeding and all of the actual breedings. He is amuch better dog person than I am.Influences in the ring When I started, both GeorgiaMurdock and Susie Fisher were at the top of theircareers. I was lucky enough to watch them battle itout in the ring many times. They forever raised thebar in the Pom ring as far as professionalism, handlingand trimming were concerned.How do you consistently breed quality PomeraniansJH. I think that it is a proven fact that line breeding isthe most successful tool in breeding consistency and Iwould say that that is howwhy we have been successful.I dont think that we line breed on a particulardog or bitch but rather breed to outstanding dogswithin a particular family. Breeding is a progressionwith each generation. We sometimes bring the pastforward to strengthen a particular trait, but often welike to breed to outstanding dogs from a differentbranch of the family. This is where it is so important towork closely with others who breed dogs of similarpedigree or descendants of your earlier dogs. Incorporatingthese other breeders successes into aprogram is such a time saver and introduces a bit of2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2132007, 1210 AM3544 4j villi i i i n 4 nnnn^^^m36 - MARCHAPRIL 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWKennel Visit Continuednew blood. It also allows you to have a successfulbreeding program with fewer dogs. By working withother breeders everyone involved wins so I dontunderstand why more dont do it.CH Poms are a difficult breed. I often think I shouldtalk more people out of getting into this breed. Whennovices so keenly say they will give you a puppyback, or raise a litter for you, I am sure that theynever imagine that they will not sleep for weeks,struggle, many times unsuccessfully, to save a puppyor losing whole litters of breedings that cant berepeated. With their low conception rates and highmortality rates it is not easy to do it consistently.It has always been our philosophy that to remainsmall and try to be successful. To accomplish this,you have to compromise. I always wanted to haveless than six producing bitches and was convincedwhen I started that I would keep only the best, allchampions, of course and breed those dogs successfully.John on the other hand felt that you needed aminimum of 12 bitches to be assured of havingsomething exciting to show yearly. Our compromise isthat we keep it at about 10 and worked with otherbreeders to expand our gene pool. We try to maintaina relationship with a handful of other breeders whobreed dogs within the same family as we do. We tryand incorporate successes and remove the failures.We try and put some of our best dogs with otherbreeders who will use the dogs and share the bloodlineswith others. We believe that it is a mistake not toallow others to breed to your dogs. Occasionally theremay be a reason, the health or workload of the ownerof the stud dog, but the breed suffers when peoplecannot take advantage of a top-producing dog. It isselfish to not allow people to breed to the dogs.When you share, you get to watch and learn byeveryones accomplishments as well as your own.Also it gives you the option to use a relative you likelater on. This is the down side of having a few dogs.Or is it Today it is impossible to keep the largekennels of the past without competent help. That isnot often available, so doing it yourself and trying tohold down a full time job, make taking care of anumber of dogs very difficult. By expanding yourkennel to include other breeders who lease andborrow dogs, everyone benefits.An example of the past can be very important to thefuture. Our history with breeders in Thailand goesback 20 years. Many years ago Matt Heindl used ourCh. Millamors Rock Medallion and produced someoutstanding dogs. Many became the foundation ofseveral top kennels. One beautiful young dog Mattbred was a grandson of Medallion, Ch. BavanewsTime After Time. He was a Specialty Winner and wereally thought he was outstanding. Due to somefamily problems with the owners, the dog was offeredto us but we couldnt really use him at the time becausehe was so closely related to our own fewbitches. Well-known judge Nigel Aubrey Jones contactedus about a friend, Dr. Dome, in Thailand whowas looking for a really nice Pom dog. We were ableto put these people together and Nigel hand carriedthis Timmy to Thailand. We later sold two bitches tothis same breeder, Can. Ch. Chriscendo Cover Girland Chriscendo Caitland. We kept in touch and it wasa great pleasure to finally meet Dr. Mel and Dr. Domein person when we went to Thailand two years ago.Timmys last puppy was a cream dog called Thai Ch.Pak Domes Everytime. Myome, as he is called, wasmore than eight years old when we saw him but justbeautiful He was a great show dog, multiple BISwinner and champion producer. Today the dogs inThailand are exceptional, and are now incorporatedinto the current generation of our own dogs.What are your views on exportingCH While many people are nervous about sendingdogs overseas. There are truly dedicated breeders inother countries that are willing to work hard to producetop quality dogs. Someone has to help them.While some breeders consider other countries to bedumping grounds for their cast offs or refuse to evenconsider letting dogs go to these countries, we feel ifthey can prove themselves to us that they are trulyinterested in bettering the breed, that the dogs arekept well and they truly have the welfare of the dogsat heart, we feel these people deserve the sameconsideration that the exhibitor you see every weekenddoes. To be successful in this day and age I thinkyou must look at the big picture and that the world isnow at your fingertips.JH To both of us, working with like minded breedersis really the ultimate extension of your breedingprogram. While everyone will agree that you cantkeep everything, it is important that the dogs you letgo, can help not just your breeding program but thebreed in general.CH I will always remember Anne Rogers Clark, whosaid, As you remain in the breed, you become thecaretakers of the breed. We like to think of the worldas one large gene pool. There are some countrieswhere, because of their locations, the breed hasbecome insular. They are breeding a Pom that is sototally different, with little or none of the same genetic2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 705 PM364 i i i i n4 44MARCHAPRIL 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 37Kennel Visit Continuedmakeup as exists in North America. But the Poms inthese countries may be strong where we are weak.I believe the successful breeders of tomorrow will bethose who are able to pull the necessary geneticdetails from wherever in the world they are strongestand create a better Pom. It is not always about individualachievement, but creating a stronger, healthierbreed for the future.I would like to make a comment here that I feel verystrongly against, a move that seems to be prevalentright now, particularly in other breeds. That is thepractice of putting very strict contracts on stud dogs.The thinking is that anyone who owns a stud cancontrol the progeny. This is a very short sightedconcept and could set the breed back, not advance it.If you do not approve of a bitch or the breedingpractices of a person who is inquiring about usingyour dog, just refuse the service. Just say NO.What do you feel is the biggest problem in thePomeranian breedJH I would have to say BSD is the biggest problem inthe breed today. It has been around before we startedin the breed and was very prevalent when we began.We try to be proactive on the BSD issue and feel thatit has certainly come out of the closet in recentyears. Breeders are acting in a positive manner,whether by sending blood for testing, contributingfinancially to research or keeping a positive attitudethat the problem exists in the breed. We are allworking towards finding a marker to control it. Wehave recently sent blood samples from most all of ourdogs for genetic research and encourage everyone tohelp in whatever way they can. The witch hunting,badmouthing and denial only come back to hauntyou.CH We are particularly excited to see that a researchfacility, in Switzerland has agreed to study BSD. Thisis not something that will give us an answer in a year,maybe not even in five years but it is only by contributingblood, pedigrees and money that we will find aDNA marker that will help us eliminate BSD from ourbreed. In the 50s and 60s Poodles and Schnauzerswere plagued with PRA. The problem is not nearly theconcern it once was. This was in the days beforegenetic testing. The advances medical science hasmade make it much easier to identify the geneticmarkers involved and will help us to identify the dogsthat are carriers. Through intelligent breeding practices,it is possible to lead us away from this problemthat has caused so much disappointment and heartbreak.Onthe brighter side, I am grateful that our breed doesnot have one of the debilitating diseases that plagueother breeds. For example, in Basenjis, breeders hadto go to Africa and incorporate stock from the villages,where the true roots of the breed still existed, to beable to breed out a disease that was so ingrained thatthey had no stock free from it left in the U.S.Do you think that genetic testing will cure thebreed of BSDJH Genetic testing will be a tool that dedicatedbreeders can use to eliminate the BSD problem. It willalways remain in the breed as there will be those thatbreed without taking advantage of what testing offers.I would think that these would be more of the backyard breeder puppy mill types. When genetic testingbecomes a reality I would expect in time the BSDproblem could be virtually eliminated in the showpopulation.What do you feel is most important type orsoundnessJH Everyone asks that question, and the answer iseasy, they are equally important. The more a dog hasof each, the better the dog. I tend to consider outlinein the Pomeranian the most critical attribute. I wouldalways look first, for the dogs with the best outline.Then those that can maintain that outline on the goround and then find the soundest one of those withthe best breed qualities as my winner. That would bethe dog most structurally correct and valuable dog forbreeding.CH I agree, with John. Finding the Pom who fills youreye in both departments, that is the challenge. Wherewe may not agree is as a working dog person hewould reward outstanding movement where I want toreward outstanding type. It would just be the degreeand in which dog. Here is always room for discussion.So this is how you would pick a potential studdog for breedingJH Exactly, but I would also have to be happy withthe dogs pedigree and feel that it could offer itsvirtues genetically. I would prefer that the dog descendedfrom dogs that Im familiar with and evenbetter that he has a similar heritage to the bitch I wasconsidering breeding him to. We often see dogs thatcatch our fancy, but they are too foreign in pedigreeto incorporate into our program. These dogs maycarry problems we dont want to introduce.2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 705 PM374 i i i i n4 4438 - MARCHAPRIL 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWKennel Visit ContinuedCH When we evaluate Poms, whether our own orsomeone elses, we have one prevailing image welook for. As we have just discussed, we want a sideprofile that remains the same moving as standing.The details, gorgeous head, coat, and bone need tobe there too, but without the profile, for us, the essenceof the Pom is lost. We continue to strive tobreed that perfect Pom. The elusive Perfect Pomcontinues to taunt us. But thats what keeps us going.How do you feel about blue merlesJH Blue Merles seem to have caused such a sensationlately. The last revision of the standard openedthe door for this colour to be acceptable as well asmis-marks. A simple change in the standard wouldeliminate the problem and make the standard moreconsistent with Pomeranian standards of other countries.As it stands now breeders in other countriesmay feel American bred dogs have a greater chanceof having more genetic junk in their pedigrees sincemis-marks and any colour is acceptable.CH We dont have them in CanadaWhat dogs have been your favoritesCH We were fortunate to see Ch. Great Elms PrinceCharming at his first show. It was just a fluke that wehappened to be in North Carolina picking up a puppyand went to a show as spectators, but we will alwaysremember it. We have always been a big fan ofPrince and consider his owners and his breeder tobe pillars of the breed and we are proud to haveknown them all.JH I had the opportunity to physically handle Princewhile making the AKC Pomeranian video. He was anoutstanding dog in every way and very deserving ofhis remarkable career. Another favorite of mine wasCh. HHH Texas Two Step who had a notable career inboth the U.S. and Mexico. But in reality it was Ch.Millamors Moon Rock who we based our breedingprogram on, so we must have liked himCH Yes, our first visit to Ken and Eleanor Millershome in the mid 70s gave us the opportunity to seetwo dogs that were foundations not just in our breedingprograms, but many others. Ch. Millamors Markof Dixieland and Moon Rock were a great educationin Pomeranians for us. Mark was the most gorgeousPom because he just oozed type while Moon Rockjust floated over the ground. I remember John sayinghe reminded him of a tumbleweed. I loved Jake forhis producing ability, several of the Bev Nor dogsmade huge contributions to the look we currentlyhave in the breed today. But definitely, the dogs whohad Moon Rock strongly in their pedigrees were ourfoundation.I believe that the breed is improving all the time andwhile I have admired so many dogs I believe thatbreeders today are producing dogs that are betterand better, dogs that can compete in the Group andBIS rings because they are sounder than before. Ittakes both type and soundness to be a top winnertoday.The breed continues to evolve. That is one reasonwhy we feel the importance of attending the APCNational Specialty every year. While we all have apicture of that perfect Pom in our minds, staying upwith current trends and what is winning is very important.Seeing the best of what dogs are producing iswhat we often base what we will be breeding to in thecoming year. Watching the breed evolve in this wayhelps to know where to go to find or fix what is goingwrong.We live in a very remote area and we could notcontinue to breed the quality of dog unless weconstantly used the National Specialty as ourbenchmark While I am sure you have heardmany say they have as good at home, it is only bygetting out there and being in the ring can youtruly remain competitive.Do you have any advice to new breedersCH Buy a good bitch I am always amazed that someof the best Poms, not the most, but the best, havecome from breeders who literally have one or twobitches. I think when you have so few girls, you makeevery breeding count. You tend not to waste bitchesbreeding them to so-so dogs because they are convenient.By a good bitch, I mean a quality female fromoutstanding parents with no serious faults and apedigree that you can take to dogs you want toincorporate in your foundation. I am always amazedhow many people say they have bitch A, who is siredby so and so, when you ask, or see in the pedigreethat she is out of a mish mash of dogs with little or nohope of producing the quality you know they want. Itcan be done, but they will have a long row to hoe. Itwont happen overnight. No, it wont happen, nomatter whom you breed her to. If you are lucky andget a decent size daughter, then breed her to arelative of who you bred the mother to, then keep adaughter and do the same, maybe, maybe, you willhave a show quality girl. But is that worth it No it isnot easy to get a good bitch. In this breed especially,they are not a dime a dozen, they are hard to come2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 705 PM384 i i i i n4 44MARCHAPRIL 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 39Kennel Visit Continuedby. Work with your mentors, beg, borrowdontsteal but do what you can to get the good bitch, shewill be worth it. Fulfill your agreements, no matter howdifficult, because you have been given a rare opportunity.JHI agree with Chris on that. Why would anyonewant to start breeding with anything but a really nice,well bred bitch. It takes too many generations tobreed from a poor quality bitch in an effort to breedsomething nice. Save the time and effort and startwith the best that is available to you. Remember yourchances of breeding an outstanding puppy multiplygreatly if it is from well bred outstanding parents.But so many newcomers say they cant buy aquality bitch.JH I hear that a lot, but the real problem is when anewcomer buys a quality bitch to breed to a mediocreor lesser dog. This is through inexperience, but it issuch a waste. Not many breeders are going to partwith something knowing it will be wasted by beingbred poorly. I guess some breed education is neededbefore one decides to go into breeding show dogs.Looking back, Chris researched Pomeranians todeath before she bred her first bitch and it producedtwo Best in Show winners.CH Yes for seven years, I owned Poms but didntbreed anything. I wrote to breeders, like DorothyBonner and Janice Luginsland, anyone who wouldwrite to me. I picked their brains, asked a lot of dumbquestions, buying bitches, showing and finishing thembut later placing them because I didnt think theywould produce what I was looking for. When I finallybought a bitch sired by Ch. Bonners Kristin Starmistand out of Millamors Dancette, I felt I finally had thegirl I wanted. And yes, bred to Medallion she producedtwo BIS winners in her first two litters.Today we see people in Poms for a couple of yearsand already, they have all the answers.How do you evaluate show prospectsCH We do a general evaluation at 8 weeks andprepare to let go anything, particularly males that donot show any potential at this age. With males, asruthless as it sounds, we eliminate males that do nothave testicles at this age. We have run on too manybeautiful puppies to 8, 9, 10 months old, only to giveup. We try to eliminate the heartbreak and we thinkone of the reasons we have very few testicle problemsin our own dogs.Our big evaluation is done at 12 weeks. We first takeinto consideration their weight at this age. We do notkeep girls who have not made 2 lb. by this age andrule out any males who are more than 3 lb. at thisage. Now honestly, this may leave us with one or twopuppies, but that is a huge criterion to help us keepour adult weights at 4 and 5 lb. at maturity. We likeour girls we keep for breeding to be on the high side,so many never get shown. We prefer a brood to be 5- 6 lb. In our case it has always been fewer goodones, versus numbers, but it is a challenging way toraising them that way. This is also when we accessbites, soundness as we are just beginning their puppyclass training and can see movement much better atthis age than at eight weeks. It is a process we areboth very much involved in. We dont always agreebut we do have some good discussions as well.Everything that has made it through the 12 weekevaluation, has potential as a breedingshow prospect,remains in the house, taking turns in the kitchenand attending puppy class for the next three months.While many people who breed Poms choose to sellshow prospects at 12 weeks we do not. While thereis nothing at all wrong with this method, we enjoywatching the puppies grow up. Poms like all otherbreeds are all cute at 3 months, but so many of themdo not reach their full potential, many fall apart. Whilewe do not sell many dogs, we feel that the dogs weeventually part with are closer to their potential withless heartache and disappointments at this age, for allof us. We hope that the dogs we have sold havegone on to make a contribution as well.Since you are a solid color breeder, what doyou think of the exoticsCH Well we did breed a beautiful Black and Tan.Can. Am Ch. Chriscendo Colour Picture who wasWinners at APC and went on to win 10 BIS inCanada, but I actually love partis I think that thegreatest improvement in the breed has been in thisarea, and it is wonderful to see all colours beingjudged on a more equal basis today. That is onepositive change that the Revised Standard has made.There are many exotics as good or better than thesolids and I applaud the hard work of the dedicatedpeople who have worked to get them there.JH Years ago when a parti won, too often it wasbecause it was considered a good parti, now they winbecause they are good Poms. This is a credit to thededicated parti breeders. Today there are somebeautiful top winning parti colour Poms.Can you share a memorable win or accom2007MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 705 PM394 i i i i n4 4440 - MARCHAPRIL 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWKennel Visit ContinuedplishmentCH It will always be the APC wins that remain assome of the best highlights. Winning Best of Oppositewith Coy Coquette and twice with Classica winningWinners Bitch on Colour Picture under Anne RogersClark, BW on Career Girl under Janice Earl and Bestof Winners on Chunky Monkey under Jackie Rayner.All these girls were multiple BIS winners in Canadabut every win at APC I treasure. APC is a benchmark,with respected breeder or top All Breed judges whoseopinions we admire and respect. We dont alwayswin, but we certainly always like to compete. This iswhere the cream of the crop is and a win here is hardto top.JH I remember when we stopped showing CalvinKlein, all the buzz was that we had to stop showinghim due to BSD. I was a bit ticked off at the timebecause in reality, we had stopped showing himbecause he didnt like the show thing and let youknow it by his total disinterest in the whole ordeal. Wedecided since we kept hearing this gossip that wewould show him for a weekend if we could find agood panel. We drove about 14 hours to a show inOntario. He won three groups and a Best in Showunder Emil Klinkhart. So we made a point and hewas never shown again, and he never had BSD.Do you ever plan to go into judgingCH I am currently working on my license for Poms inCanada.JH I have no interest in judging.What is your philosophy on breedingCH I think that the only way to breed dogs is to breedthem for yourself. You have to satisfy yourself and beproud of what you produce. Everything we do is tofurther our breeding program. In doing this hopefullythere are a few quality dogs available to share withothers. We always suggest that breeding to one ofthe dogs is much easier than trying to buy somethingfrom us.What about trimmingCH I dont think that dogs today are being overtrimmed as often as they are being trimmed badly. Butthat too is getting better. People are learning theimportance of having clean, well brushed out dogs,before they ever tackle the trimming.JH Trimming should enhance a Pomeranians outlinenot detract from it.What do you think of contracts for breeding co ownershipCH Because we have so few dogs, we find it hard topart with them. The home is very important to us andwe often place dogs with an owner who has just 3 or4 dogs over adding a dog to a Kennel situation. Wetry to do the best for each individual dog, for they arethe most important to us.We have co-owned dogs with a few people and it isalways important to have everything in writing. Thinkof it as if you were co-owning with your worst enemy.How would the contract be worded Often, particularlywith a novice, they are so anxious to have thedog but have absolutely no experience breeding.Most breeders are not willing to sell a good bitch asan experiment. You have to pay your dues. So workwith your breedersmentors and if you have theopportunity to get a good bitch, remember you arebeing given an outstanding opportunity, one mostpeople are not lucky enough to get. Dont abuse thetrust.What do you feel is the biggest hardship inbreedingCH Certainly today it is good to see so many of thenewer breeders so conscious of soundness andstructure. I look forward to the day that we have astructure seminar at APC. Getting over BSD is justone thing we need to tackle.This is a tough breed, with many things that set youback and slow your plans down. The heartache of notbeing able to save a puppy, of losing that special oneat 6 months, having a favorite stud dog die too young,those things too, stick with you.The complete picture is beautiful AND sound. We allneed to work towards breeding sounder, healthierPoms.JH I dont think there is any one thing. I have alwayssaid Pomeranians are born with the will to die. Alsowe find breeding dogs tends to work in cycles. Therewill be times when you breed several wonderful dogsthen you reach a period of doldrums where nothing isexciting. Since the longer you breed dogs the higheryou set the bar and the harder it is to reach it, thesedoldrums can be depressing but by realizing they arethere helps to get through them..What do you feel is your greatest contributionto the breed2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 705 PM404 i i i i n4 44MARCHAPRIL 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 41CH I would hope that we have bred some memorabledogs. I would like to be remembered for breedingbeautiful moving, typey Poms that became the standardin peoples minds when they thought of a Pom.But by memorable I would like to think that we haveproduced some dogs that meant something to peoplepersonally. We can thank the Millers for Medallion, forhe contributed a great deal to our breeding program,but he was a wonderful dog, and I miss him, just as adog.We also enjoy having contributed to the many topwinners over the years that have had some of ourbreeding in their pedigrees.JH It makes you think that its all worth while.What is the greatest enjoyment the Pomshave given youJH Chris enjoys showing the dogs, where as I havebeen there, done that, for so long as a Handler, mybiggest enjoyment is to see her happy in the ring.We have also made so many friends throughout theworld which has given us both a great deal of pleasure,visiting and keeping in touch and being involvedto some extent in their successes.CH The friends we have made, definitelyI hope I will always own a Pom because I never tire ofwatching pretty puppies playing, posing and justbeing Poms. Seeing the next exciting puppy grow upstill makes my heart beat faster, I love their temperaments,their fierce let me do it myself attitude.Seeing Poms in other countries is very exciting too,watching the breed improve, year after year.

My name is Jessica Christiansen and I am 17years old. I have learned much from breeding andshowing dogs in the past five years. I first becameinterested in showing dogs in 2001 when I metCharlene Waters. Then in 2002 I was watching adog show and Charlene asked me to show her girlShimmeree Heaven Sent, Trinket. I was delightedand went into the ring for the very first time. I waswearing jeans and a T-shirt The very next day Iwent into the ring again, this time with a skirt and anice shirt. A month later my mother and I boughtTrinket and she was our very first show dog. Iremember being so excited that I criedThe next couple years I put points on Trinket. Then in 2004 we went searching for her very last major. She kept ongetting reserves until one fateful day in Colorado. It was the beginning of June and I was showing her. We had winnersbitch the day before, but it was one dog short of a major. I remember the next day being so happy when Trinket got apurple ribbon along with her championship and last major. Also in 2004 I had the opportunity to show CH Razzle DazzleTexas Hoedown, Sawyer. He was a fantastic juniors dog except when he tried to be a German Shepherd with his legsand he loved to show. I placed every time I went in the ring with him except twice.In July of 2004 Trinket was due to have puppies. By that time, my mother and I had two other show dogs Rosie abeautiful red, and Tori a fiery black and tan along with our pets. Sadly, in July 2004, my mother, sister and I were in anRV accident on our way home from a dog show in Colorado. One of my pets Tiffany, my show dogs Tori, Rosie, andpregnant Trinket, one of Pati Danielsons dogs Sable, and three of Charlenes dogs Harmony, Cricket and Sawyerwere in the RV at the time of the accident. When one of the tires blew, it sent sparks and ignited a line to the propanetank, which exploded. In seconds the RV was engulfed in flames. We fought to get out, but couldnt save our dogsbecause they were already gone. They were just too fragile and their crates were where the fire first went. My mom,sister, and I were all severely burned. Other motorists, including a nurse and a fellow Pom handler, Janet from Utah,pulled over to help us. An ambulance rushed us to a small local hospital. We were then life-flighted by helicopter to theUniversity of Utah Hospitals burn unit. It was a long road to recovery physically and mentally for me. I think the hardestthing for me was losing my babies dogs all at once and so suddenly. I wasnt prepared for it and I still miss them.Luckily, I had a few pets at home and Charlene and Greg Waters took care of them for us while we were in the hospital.I remember Charlene giving Rascal my fetch addict a bath so he could come and see me. All I could talk about that daywas that my boy Rascal was coming to visit me. The nurses thought he was so cute. I also remember my Dad bringingletter after letter mostly from Pomeranian dog show people to me at the hospital along with gifts and stuffed animals.After a while there were too many letters to fit in my hospital room and too many cards to put up on the wall. It meant somuch to me to know all the support and love that people in the dog show world had for me. Their support along with myfamily and friends helped me get through the hardest time in my life.Even before I was able to return to school I was in the dog show ring showing my new show dogs, Patricias WeewynWalking Barbie Blonde and Lilbee. Blonde, with the help of Pati Danielson, had our very first bred-by exhibitorJessica Christiansen2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 706 PM42 INI i i i inA ^AnIf 1__________________MARCHAPRIL 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 43puppy, Blackcrystals Starlite Gem, Jade, who is the biggest little twerp on four legs, but I love her anyway. I put acouple of points on Blonde along with a couple thousand reserves at least it seemed like that many. Then I got reallycrazy and I bought an Australian Shepherd. I ended up naming her Pixie and I competed in juniors at Eukanuba lastDecember with her. She is a cute show dog and all of the Pomeranians use her as a chew toy and bed. She also thinksshes a Pomeranian and should have all the same rights as a Pomeranian, which includes jumping on me, sleeping in mylap, and being spoiled to death. It has been fun splitting last full year between my Australian Shepherd and Poms forjuniors.Last summer I had the best time on the Montana circuit. I traveled with a handler who let me bring along Pixie and Jade.Jade is my bred-by Pom champion who I will show in Westminster for juniors this year. It took a lot of work and time, butI finally got Jade to calm down enough to show her in the ring. She learned to love to strut her stuff and before I knewit we took a three point major. At that point, we only needed one more major to finish her out of the bred-by class. Ishowed her the entire next week and she kept getting reserves to a five point major. I was about ready to explode, but Jadethen took a five point major the next day out of over twenty bitches I was so happy and the rest of the Pomeranian peoplewho were there were happy for me too. I got my first bred-by champion picture with Jade and told her how wonderful shewas. She just looked at me as if to say, I know, and then gave me a kiss. Shes kind of stuck up like that but it makesher all the better in my eyes. Shes an individual and I love it.I cant wait to see all the surprises and fun dog showing has in store for me. I hope to be showing and breeding my dogsfor the rest of my life. I also hope to do some professional handling when I age out of juniors. I cant imagine how mylife would be now without a dozen little shadows following me around at home. They are full of so much love and haveso much to give. I just hope that someday I can give back to them what theyve given to me.With the help, instruction and encouragement of many others, I have been fortunate enough to rank in the top tenPomeranian junior handlers in the nation for each of the past five years, including second in 2004, 2005 and 2006.Beginning in 2006, I also showed my Australian Shepherd and attained a top ten junior handler ranking for this breedlast year. I want to thank all of those who have helped me achieve these rankings. I know that I could not have done itwithout you.Finally, I want to say thank you to all of my friends and other people who have helped me along my way in dog showing.Especially my Mom, Dad, Pati Danielson, Charlene Waters, Gregory Waters, Kelly Reimschiissel, Niki Wilde, Janet andher daughter Ashley, the Jessens, Tynia Johnson, Sherrie and Katelyn Scott, Holly and her mom, Camilla Knight, CarolLeemhuis, and so many other dog show people who have helped me or have just been there as a friend. These friends aretrue and I can see knowing them for the rest of my life. If something bad happens, they will step in and help out, and wewill do the same for them. They also understand my crazy dog talk, which is incomprehensible to my friends at school.I love you allL-R Jessica and Trinket in 2003 Jessica and Jade Jessica and Pixie2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 706 PM43 INI i i i in__ _____________r, V 3. _ ...\y i1F-r__44 - MARCHAPRIL 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW Sally Baugniet Pomirish WIFL Srb1copper.netIt is a shame AKC even needs these guidelines, but there are those who show their dogs or others dogs who consider winning as a life ordeath situation rather than a SPORT Please go into the dog shows with the attitude that is required of a Sporting attitude There are rulesand regulations.

Occasionally there is an exhibitor who chooses to ignore those common courtesies and do everything in theirpower to try to make another exhibitor lose, so hopefully they will win. We call this Poor Sportsmanship. A newexhibitor asks, How do we deal with that Im not sure I have the solution, but perhaps there are a few things you couldthink about.For example Occasionally an exhibitor will run up on the dog in front of them in the ring. When it was by mistake, allthat is needed is a few kind words to the offending party. Please stay back from my dog as I do not want him to be steppedon and hurt. This is usually a good enough reminder, if indeed it was accidental.If it happens again, it was probably not accidental In that case, perhaps stopping while the dogs are gaiting around thering, making sure your dog is in front of you out of harms way, and asking the offender to please, either stay back or go infront of you. Perhaps the words would be in the hearing range of the judge. Be sure to be polite so the judge does not thinkyou are the offender. Then ask the judge, politely, if heshe would ask the exhibitor to either stay back or go ahead of you soyour dog is not injured.If the offender runs up on your dog at every show, perhaps you might try this before you come in to the ring, ask the ringsteward to relay the message about the person who always runs up on your dog...or, if you are to come in the ring innumerical order and the person is directly behind you, you could ask the ring steward to ask the judge if you could beplaced behind that person, because he always runs up on your dog and you are afraid heshe will injure your dog.No judge wants to see a dog injured, especially not in their ring. Im sure the judge will handle it appropriately. Never makeyourself look like the bad guy. We dont want anything to escalate into a Bench Show Committee Hearing Mostexhibitors are courteous and helpful, but occasionally we come across a bad apple. The good thing is they dont usuallylast in our sport for very long. Bad apples rot and disintegrate.AKC encourages good sportsmanship at dog shows. When poor sportsmanship and bad tempers raise their ugly head, AKChas provisions set for a Bench Show Hearing. I know that no one wants to go before a Bench Show Committee. So let ushope that we all try to be on out best behavior and be helpful and courteous to all involved in our world of dogs.

I simply thought I would post up a couple of linksand a couple of quick comments about genetic disease as people say, because there seemed to still be some misconceptions widelyheld about it, but the discussion grew and this article grew out of it. Its still in the format of a casual conversation and should be readas that less formal and exact and more broad strokes to drive home major points. It goes without saying hopefully also that this isabout basics, so is preaching to the choir where many readers are concerned. But important topics need to be regularly revisitedJust start with the term genetic disease as an example all disease in a sense is genetic as it all involves genes. But peopleseem to think of disease that involves genes as automatically inherited and that simply isnt so. Inherited implies, for a breeder, somepotential for control arguably can exist through the choice of breeding stock. And its just not the case that disease either can be split intoneat categories of genetic inherited and environmental. Such categories dont really exist in the biological world, and this isntanyway what is a breeders focus when choosing bloodstock and planning breedings. The idea rather would be to focus on what seemsto offer some control as to traits, and in the case of disease, to screen against them, focusing on both how to gain control and a prioritysystem of what is most important to strongly select against. Genetic disease, more accurately referred to as heritable, or inherited,disease is being defined simply as disease that is directly inherited andor disease with a strong heritable component, so that avoidingdisease becomes, in part, a matter of breeder choices as, at least partially then, under a breeders control. As I said, there seems to stillbe some widespread misconceptions out there about inherited disease.I started thinking about this lately as I find it worrisome now to see now websites touting outcrossing as some formula forhealthjust like you used to see line breeding offered as some formula for type. Such generalizations and recipe breeding just dontwork you have to make yourself clearly and completely aware of not just sire and dam, but the family, writ large, of the dogs you aredealing with. Thats why its sad to see someone admitting to type problems, saying they are importing dogs to outcross, as they2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 709 PM46i i i i nA t IMARCHAPRIL 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 47believe it confers better health andor temperament. Breedingto dogs with admitted shortcomings that you have never seen is noway to end up with good dogsno matter how you define it. Andsuch a recipe isnt going to confer health anymore than breedingany relative of a famous dog to another of the same family is goingto guarantee type.What people may not know is there is such a thing asout breeding depression just like there can be inbreedingdepression. With inbreeding depression, typically you will see twosorts of results. On one hand recessive traits come to the fore, bethey odd colors or things like Wobblers and mega. The other thingyou see is a general tendency to smaller litters, smaller size, andlessened fertility as well as a general lack of thrift. In other words,you end up with poor doersdogs who are fragile or fiddlywhen you depend on line breeding too much, do it indiscriminately,andor you are not minding the store when line breeding as inknowing what skeletons lurk in your family closet. When thingslike this start to accumulate, you simply have to let some air into a closed pedigree andor you have to be more selective in whatanimals you are choosing not using some dog simply because hefinished or his dad did well, especially if you are having torationalize a dog who did well in one way say showing while hehas other problems that are line-related. Line breeding isntsomething to do blindly.But some diseases, particularly complex traits like involveCHD hip dysphasia you can actually get by out crossing. WhyBecause one you are breaking up a good set of genes that hasbeen working for you and your dogs. Secondly you are importing,wholesale, in an outcross, a set of foreign genes at times, and theymay also work on their own, but not when they are broken up andmixed with in your dogs. These sorts of situations are calledthreshold diseases, and the gene expression term used is cumulativetraits. Things like size in a line, head type, organ and joint structureare very often a result of such cumulative traits. Cumulative traitsare, grossly speaking, the result of a bunch of the right genescoming together, not of any one good or bad gene. So withcumulative traits the best breeding strategy is typically one ofavoiding extremes. You stick with the middle and dont confusemoderate with mediocre. And so, by avoiding extremes, you collectup the most of the genes that work well together, giving you whatyou want to keep seeing.That also means you must recognize every dog isnt goingto always be ideal to be useful to your breeding program. What Imean by that is that, for example, if you have a family of dogs whoare all checked and all passing OFA, you avoid dogs then that failandor who develop CHD the extreme, but you can use dogs whoare not Excellent, as they likely have nearly the same set of genesfor this cumulative trait as does the Excellent individual. Or, anotherexample, you want good size, so you use some moderate sized dogs,but not really tiny little bitches. Avoid extremes, but dont gooverboard looking for just the right ideal dog is the idea withcumulative traits. Out crossing in this case and temperament isanother area of complex inheritance is arguably more likely to behurtful than helpful, unless you really know that other family wellindeed. Take home message different strategies for different genes.And the strategy is again different for traits that are hybridtraits like Harlequin color or X-linked like Dane DCM. Yousimply cannot just make blanket statements line breeding or outcrossing is good or is bad, or breed paper tigers to dogs youdont know who are to you famous names or has health checkson their dogs and expect success. There are so many new breedersout there these days, and seems there are more and more every day.Many also starting out anymore tend to be independents thatmay have purchased a dog or bitch from here or there, but are notaligned with any one breeding program or have a specific mentor.That can create problems as there then isnt always accessto a good body of knowledge about the dogs and the history of thebreed, and then this results in folks having to learn by doing bywhich I mean having litters with problems that another moreexperienced breeder could have seen was a decided risk in theplanning stage. No one creates problems of any kind on purpose.But as the road to hell is paved with good intentions, in this worldof dog breeding, ignorance has probably spawned more tragedythan pure evil. None of us wants to have to say I wish Id known,when another can fairly answer Really, you should have.Also doing disease screenings health checks is great,but these tests also have to be used knowledgeably. For example,the OFA Cardiac does NOT screen for DCM dilatedcardiomyopathy or SAS Subaortic stenosis. And doing a thyroidcheck without a TgAA is pointless on young breed stock, whiledoing an initial screening is fine, but its no declaration that thesame dog, when 4-6 years, is still thyroid normal. A CHIC dogwith all passes can later gets thyroid disease or comes down withAddisons, just as an untested dog who is declared healthy canmean nothing more than the owner isnt unhappy with the dog.And that doesnt mean the dog doesnt have things that wouldtrouble you. And often checking for disease is still about consideringrelatives and knowing your pedigrees. A DCM carrier bitch is nevergoing to show any signs of what she inherited, but she will stillpass this deadly disease on to her sons and daughters. If you didntknow her dams sire died of DCM you are going to be surprisedwhen her son does. We cannot be one trick ponies whenbreedingwe must multi-task in the sense of juggling all theissues health, temperament, type, structure, gene load involved.And we need to sort this, as no dog is going to have it all. So youhave to prioritize. And for disease, this is going to mean stronglyselecting against inherited diseases that are a deadly, b seriousand chronic, and c costly to manage. Plus a priority has to be setto screen against adult-onset diseases, as these are likely to showafter you have bred. Especially in Danes where some of our largeproblems do only show up in the middle years. So this againillustrates just how important it is to first 1 know your pedigreesas more than names and titles, and then 2 be knowledgeable aboutwhat is the best strategy of control for each kind of inherited disease.Breeding for Inherited Traits Longevity and Temperament.First let me say I am a acutely aware I am preaching tothe choir here, as many of you know all this, and b painfullycognizant of there being many more experienced than me in theaudience who could do a better job of summarizing this stuff thatmere moi- I stand on the shoulders of giants as they say... andI use their words. This is wisdom I was gifted with so dont thinkHealth and Genetics Continued2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 709 PM474 i i i i n4 4448 - MARCHAPRIL 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWfor a second I am thinking Im some genius. A parrot is closer tothe truthThat said so my betters dont think Im some arrogantupstart, more on this topic we all need to face. First off, lets facethe sheer ugly fact that some breeders and especially some Internetsites are front and center saying they breed for longevity andortemperament as pure sales technique. No quality show breeder withgobs of type is necessarily not also getting tons of robust and happydogs its not an either-or situation and NEVER EVER shouldbe. All areas i.e. health, temperament, type count, and the mainissues in them are ALL-important and have to be considered noone-trick ponies, rightFirst to speak to this question of longevity one of the mostannoying things I think we have all seen is this sort of claim thatmy dogs live longer than yours, with very weird quotes of ageranges as average life spans and other improbable stuff. If you arereally worried about longevity and shouldnt we all be I bet we allare, then the first thing you do is TRACK your dogs, carefullynoting COD cause of death, along with the dateage, for EVERYDOG not just parents in at least the three generations behindwhat you are now breeding. Yep, thats hard and likely impossibleto always accomplish, but still a good goal to shoot for Until youknow how the dogs behind your dogs lived and died, how can youclaim you have some traitany trait at all Secondly we all have torealize what is and isnt reasonable for a giant dog. To expect adecade of healthy living from a giant is to recognize their naturallife span. To claim a lot more or allow a lot less, saying they allshould live to 12-14 or all can die at 6-8, is not reasonable.Thirdly, we have to realize in this breed we have a problemwith ADULT ONSET DISEASE. We could talk about this for about10 hours, but the bottom line with such disease is a you need tohave quality pedigree info, i.e. you need to know how the dogsbehind yours lived and died, and b you need to extend yourgenerational period as much as possible. This just means you try tohave a 3-4 or more year gap between dogs and their offspring, asopposed to breeding a lot of very young animals. This is just logical,for, if your breed is likely to manifest serious disease between 3-6years, and you do the bulk of your breeding before that, it doesnttake a rocket scientist to figure out you are going to be too oftenstuck trying to shut the proverbial barn door after the horses haveleft the building. Thats why modern science created the frozensperm And thats why a lot of old-fashioned breeders prefer to useolder stud dogs, especially when going out of their own family ofdogs.This issue of temperament has already in a way beenaddressed, if just briefly. Recall this is a, bluntly, a cumulative traitits actually a cluster of such traits, but never mind that tangle forthis discussion. The bottom line then is you have to avoid extremes.We are facing a serious problem with temperament in this breed.Maybe its always been there there sure are enough anecdotalreports, but the latest GDCA health survey found that 25 ofrespondents were reporting SERIOUS temperament problems inthe dogs they owned. Now with a 150 lb. dog any real problem isgoing to be serious in a way that the same problem may not be in adog of 15 lbs. But that doesnt change what we are facing. We havetwo extremes to avoid, that of very shy dogs those freaky Jeanswho have unreasonably panicky reactions to every day things andthe very tough dogs which we called in GSDs espresso as theywere so strong natured you felt they sometimes looked at you likeyou might not be able to take them. I wonder at times about us asGreat Dane people this is a working breed and yet as a group wedont seem to know much about dog temperament, and often simplytalk, very naively, of good and bad temperament. Temperamentdoesnt work this way.Temperament, in a sense, is more like the thermostat onyour heating unit it has a range and can slide a bit either way. Therange is likely inborn and the early upbringing then sets the exactdegree. Some dogs have what GSD people call weak nervesand simply have trouble handling everyday events. If you thinkabout it, temperament in this sense is just another body system,with the nervous system at its core. So to be pathologically shy isjust the un-nice extreme of a sweet and biddable pup. And to bepredacious, or dogpeople aggressive, is just high-drive, goodworking dogs.... gone bad. Avoiding rationalizations and thebreeding of these extreme dogs is the key to having most all ofthem turn out to be livable. There is a lot more to be said on thesubtle variations of temperament, but I am truly always in troublefor handing out too much information, so I will stop. But really, weought to become more interested in this topic For one thing everydog has a job to do even being a couch potato is an occupation ofsorts so every dog should be expected to demonstrate correcttemperament for his work. And another good reason to look deeperinto what makes up temperament is we seem to be in trouble in thisarea, so it would behoove us all to learn a bit more about whatmakes one dog mentally different than the next.Its an odd day and age in dogs. Gone are the oldallegiances. If you are quiet long enough and listen very carefully,you can still hear, softly, some of the greats talking. But otherwiseyou are stuck figuring things out for yourself. So therefore we allneed to become very good, even very aggressive and self-motivatedstudents of the breed. Nothings going to be handed to you, thatsfor sure. And the only other choice to seems to be getting stucklistening to middle-rankers like me palely echo what better mindshave already said. For at best all I am still trying to be a goodstudent of the breed... to listen upand keep learning. And thisarticle comes with a warning. Its fairly superficial as its deliberatelypainting with a broad brush to make some basic points. Its less topass on great wisdom and more just intended to get us allthinking...and talking a bit. I know its helped me, so thanks to youall for giving me this opportunity to put my thoughts in order Dilated cardiomyopathy is a type of heart failure not uncommonin the Great Dane. It is produced by a disruption in one or more ofthe processes necessary to build and maintain normal heart muscle.The heart muscles loses its elasticity and becomes stretched outand thin, a process known as dilatation. In the Great Dane, thisdisease is typically inherited in an X-linked recessive fashion. Thismeans that usually unaffected, but carrier, dams pass on thedefective X chromosome to statistically 50 of their offspring.Cardiomyopathy can occur in any dog due to other non-hereditaryfactors, such as old age, dietary deficiencies, viral infection, drugsand toxins for example, alcohol and cobalt poisoning. Symptomsinclude shortness of breath, weakness and weight gain. Harlequin is a coat patten unique to the Great Dane. The basecolor is pure white with black torn patches irregularly and welldistributed over the entire body, with a pure white neck preferred.HARLEQUINS all have at least one copy of the dominant Harlgene H allele and at least one copy of the dominant Merlegene M allele.2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 709 PM484 i i i i n4 44MARCHAPRIL 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 493540 Kessler Blvd N.

Approved December 9, 1996, Effective January 31, 1997General AppearanceThe Pomeranian is a compact, short-backed, active toy dog. He has a soft, dense undercoat with a profuse harshtexturedouter coat. His heavily plumed tail is set high and lies flat on his back. He is alert in character, exhibitsintelligence in expression, is buoyant in deportment, and is inquisitive by nature. The Pomeranian is cocky,commanding, and animated as he gaits. He is sound in composition and action.Size, Proportion, SubstanceThe average size of the Pomeranian is from 3 to 7 pounds, with the ideal weight for the show specimen being 4 to6 pounds. Any dog over or under the limits is objectionable. However, overall quality is to be favored over size. The distance from the point of shoulder to the pointof buttocks is slightly shorter than from the highest point of the withers to the ground. The distance from the brisket to the ground is half the height at the withers.He is medium-boned, and the length of his legs is in proportion to a well-balanced frame. When examined, he feels sturdy.HeadThe head is in balance with the body. The muzzle is rather short, straight, fine, free of lippiness and never snipey. His expression is alert and may be referred toas fox-like. The skull is closed. The top of the skull is slightly rounded, but not domed. When viewed from the front and side, one sees small ears, which aremounted high and carried erect. To form a wedge, visualize a line from the tip of the nose ascending through the center of the eyes and the tip of the ears. The eyesare dark, bright, medium in size and almond-shaped. They are set well into the skull on either side of a well-pronounced stop. The pigmentation is black on thenose and eye rims except self-colored in brown, beaver, and blue dogs. The teeth meet in a scissors bite. One tooth out of alignment is acceptable. Major FaultsRound, domed skull under-shot mouth overshot mouth.Neck, Topline, BodyThe neck is short with its base set well into the shoulders to allow the head to be carried high. The back is short with a level topline. The body is compact and wellribbed with brisket reaching the elbow. The plumed tail is one of the characteristics of the breed, and lays flat and straight on the back.ForequartersThe Pomeranian has sufficient layback of shoulders to carry the neck and head proud and high. The shoulders and legs are moderately muscled. The length of theshoulder blade and upper arm are equal. The forelegs are straight and parallel to each other. Height from elbows to withers approximately equals height fromground to elbow. The pasterns are straight and strong. The feet are well arched, compact, and turn neither in nor out. He stands well up on his toes. Dewclaws maybe removed. Major Faults Down in pasterns.HindquartersThe angulation of the hindquarters balances that of the forequarters. The buttocks are well behind the set of the tail. The thighs are moderately muscled with stiflesthat are moderately bent and clearly defined. The hocks are perpendicular to the ground and the legs are straight and parallel to each other. The feet are well arched,compact, and turn neither in nor out. He stands well up on his toes. Dewclaws, if any on the hind legs may be removed. Major Faults Cow hocks or lack ofsoundness in hind legs or stifles.GaitThe Pomeranians gait is smooth, free, balanced and vigorous. He has good reach in his forequarters and strong drive with his hindquarters. Each rear leg movesin line with the foreleg on the same side. To achieve balance, his legs converge slightly inward toward a centerline beneath his body. The rear and front legs arethrown neither in nor out. The topline remains level, and his overall balance and outline are maintained.CoatA Pomeranian is noted for its double coat. The undercoat is soft and dense. The outer-coat is long, straight, glistening and harsh in texture. A thick undercoat willhold up and permit the guard hair to stand off from the Pomeranians body. The coat is abundant from the neck and fore part of shoulders and chest, forming a frill,which extends over the shoulders and chest. The head and leg coat is tightly packed and shorter in length than that of the body. The forequarters are well featheredto the hock. The tail is profusely covered with long, harsh, spreading straight hair. Trimming for neatness and a clean outline is permissible. Major Faults Soft,flat or open coat.ColorAll colors, patterns, and variations there-of are allowed and must be judged on an equal basis. Patterns Black and Tan - tan or rust sharply defined, appearingabove each eye and on muzzle, throat, and fore chest, on all legs and feet and below the tail. The richer the tan the more desirable Brindle - the base color is gold,red, or orange-brindled with strong black cross stripes Parti-color - is white with any other color distributed in patches with a white blaze preferred on the head.Classifications The Open Classes at specialty shows may be divided by color as follows Open Red, Orange, Cream, and Sable Open Black, Brown, and BlueOpen Any Other Color, Pattern, or Variation.TemperamentThe Pomeranian is an extrovert, exhibiting great intelligence and a vivacious spirit, making him a great companion dog as well as a competitive show dog.Even though a Toy dog, the Pomeranian must be subject to the same requirements of soundness and structure prescribed for all breeds, and any deviation from theideal described in the standard should be penalized to the extent of the deviation.POMERANIAN STANDARD2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 710 PM51 Mill i i i in' V, I L- 4'4 4452 - MARCHAPRIL 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 710 PM524- i i i inAmerican Pomeranian Club, Inc.APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP Please type or print CLEARLYNOTICE Except for patrons, applications must be endorsed by TWO members in good standing a who have been APC members for two 2 years or more b who have known the applicant two 2 years or more c who do not reside in the same household d who are not related to each other or to the applicant.

Our family consists of my parents Maryand Carlos, and my two siblings, a brother and asister. Together with my mother and I we areMarValles Pomeranians. Having a motherdaughterteam is very funI attended shows with my mother and brother who showedChihuahuas for a short time. While attending shows withthem I became fascinated with Junior Showmanship andalways kept a close eye on the Pomeranian ring. Mymother had liked the breed as well. Together we beganbrainstorming and thinking, Hey, maybe we should giveit a shot. Needless to say that shot led us to our great friend and mentor, Charlotte Meyer of Chars Poms. Withoutthis wonderful lady and friend I would not be where I am today. She helped my mother and I out as newbies and neverceased to amaze us by sending us some of her best Poms to show in Juniors and Conformation. For that I am forevergrateful.Together my mother and I have bred and raised a few litters of Poms-all, of course, with the help of Char. I look forwardto the day that we have our bred-bys out in the ring showing.In 2006 I showed an amazing little guy Ch.Chars The Heat Is On, Hewey. Together Hewey and I racked up points in notime and began moving up in the ranks. After some time off, I decided to pull out my male Ch. Finchs Exceeds Code,Cody, who will be my juniors dog for 2007. He is such an awesome little showman and never sets a foot down wrong.He shows his little heart out for me.I have to say 2006 was an amazing show year for my mother and I. Attending our first nationals in March was very funand taking Best Junior Handler at the National was the icing on the cakeDuring the summer of 2006, one of my close friends and handler Lynn Meyer took me under her wing to show me a fewthings. Hewey and I spent the summer with her and had an amazingly fun time She is an amazing person, and awonderful handler. I feel honored to have been taught so many things by Lynn I plan to be a professional handlersome-day so going out with Lynn during the summer taught me a lot.Chelsea VallesChelsea Valles2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2132007, 1244 AM68 INI 4 i i i in4_44MARCHAPRIL 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 69In my experience with showing in Junior Handling I have found that it is not an easy task to win with a Toy Dog. It isvery rewarding when you do go out there do your best and have fun. I would highly encourage anyone interested incompeting in Junior Showmanship to try it out. It is a very fun sport. Win or lose I have always had fun Never getdiscouraged when you do not win. Your time will come, and when it does enjoy itEnding this article I would like to extend a special thank you to my family for always being there for me. I appreciateall of the support. Mom, thank you for sharing such a wonderful hobby with me. Dad, thank you for never telling meno when I say, Just one more PomChar and Lynn, where do I begin You ladies are wonderful, everyone needs people like you for supportThank you to all the people who chat with me on the Internet and for also supporting meLast, but not least, thank you to Brenda Segelken for inviting me to be featured in this article of the Pom Review2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2132007, 1244 AM69 INI 4 i i i in45,11BESTHANDLERJUNIOR13NATIONAL SPECIALTY FIRST h iPHIJTOGR APH YPLACEL. srwivKfNVf L CLUBN2005\W9LHJ PHOTrL v-- f1ULi,FIRST PLACEWEST TEXAS KENNEL CLUBNEBRASKA KENNEL CLUB 2006photo by MELIA " DAN PtARSON PHOTOGRAPHYJ SEPTEMBER 2006wm4470 - MARCHAPRIL 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW2007 Westminster USA Invitees CH Finchs Awesome OnAll Four, CH Finchs Bettin On Chars, CH RivendellApplauds Janesa, CH Showcase Hot Topic, CH Tokie TheLegend Continues2007 Westminster Kennel ClubFebruary 12 and 13, 2007Madison Square Garden, New York, New York Report by Joan BehrendPhotos by Bruce and Joan BehrendBest of BreedCh Showcase Hot Topic DogBreeder Alane Levinsohn Curtiss SmithSire Ch Mountain Crest JJDam Ch Showcase Charmed Im SureOwner Ron Smith Alane Levinsohn Merilyn SmithBest of Opposite SexCh Lil Behrs Thumbelina BitchBreeder Joan C BehrendSire Ch Tresstiques Secret Agent 86Dam Lil Behrs Hot CocoaOwner Joan C BehrendAward of MeritCh Jan-Shars 5 Star Rating DogBreeder Sharon HansonSire Ch Jan-Shars Its The Real ThingDam Jan-Shars Revenge Is SweetOwner Jessica SatallanteCh Starfires Here Comes Trouble DogBreeder Jose A Cabrera Fabian ArientiSire Ch Finchs Walkin After MidniteDam Starfires Strawberry MarmeladeOwner Jose Cabrera Fabian Arienti Veronica WinterCh Razzle Dazzle Heavenly Choir DogBreeder OwnerSire Ch Razzle Dazzle Hat DanceDam Candlebrites Cuz Im Worth ItOwner Judith B GreenJudge Mr. Frank T.

In between times for the official demo we take turns working in a booth showing folkshow to train the moves and letting them cuddle the dogs.Its exciting times for the heelwork to music sport in the UK as at Crufts this year we have a majorcompetition for both HTM and Freestyle, plus an international competition - great to see the sporttaking off so quickly.A couple of comments In Britain Border Collies are the breed of choice for Obedience, and people whohave watched the competition at Crufts always comment on the lack of Golden Retrievers, which here arethe most common Obedience breed. Crufts is, of course, already over now, and Dennis did his thing.Dennis is the black dog in the photo with the crime scene tape wrapped around him. Unfortunately,Annette did not have any Freestyle photos to send.This Kennel Club stand features all the sportsthat you can enjoy with your dog, and twice a dayeach sport is demonstrated, ours being heelworkto musicfreestyle.

Some three quarters of the waythrough our time slot, Dennis asks for a newpartner, and we all take the weenies from theaudience to come and dance with our dogs,working on tricks we have perfected so thechildren get the fun of achieving success with thewoofs.

It is often also the handlers first such experience. The CGC is not an official AKC title, but isimportant in its own right, since it shows that the dog is a good citizen, one who makes his owner happyand doesnt cause problems.On December 16, Lindsey Kamrath wrote, Im completely stoked. Today my boy TLCs Court Jester,Cosmo earned his CGC. He passed with flying colors In fact... just to toot my horn a little louder...one of the examiners asked me, Do you do competitive obedience I said, Well, I hope to in thefuture..., and tried to downplay it because Cosmo was pretty sloppy, and he said, Well, you should,because Ive seen many Poms come through here and yours is one of the best Ive seen. That boostedmy confidence WAAAY up...its nice to hear such encouraging words Not to be outdone, my mom tookClementine, our seven-month- old bitch, and she got her CGC as well. Not bad, especially sinceClementine hasnt finished her basic obedience class. Needless to say, Im really proud of our dogs. Itsno championship or CD, but its something we definitely worked forAnd Lesley Pettengill of Dallas writes that, Wiggles earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen CGCcertificate this past weekend in Glen Rose, TX and I should also mention the same day he also wentBOB. We didnt do anything in the group ring, but all those who passed the CGC got to parade in thering before they started Best in Show judging. The BIS sign was already out so we stood next to the BISsign smile.Wiggles was a hoot. He did everything he was supposed to splendidly. The evaluator was mostimpressed with the 3 minute out of sight exercise. I left Wiggles on a down stay with the evaluator.About half way through there was a HUGE crashing sound in the building - it was loud enough that Ijumped The evaluator told me Wiggles raised his elbows up about 2 inches off the ground and thenwent back into the full down position. His head never left the direction he had last seen me go. Thehonor dog was an old bloodhound. A neat photo opportunity was missed when those two passed eachother. Wiggles has never met a dog he didnt like.ASCA OTCH POINTINGFor anyone who doesnt know, ASCA stands for Australian Shepherd Club of America. Their Obedienceand Agility trials are open to all breeds of dogs.Wendy Donnelly wrote from Georgia in December that, Timmy and I went to an ASCA trial this pastFriday evening and Saturday morning to attempt to reach our goal of getting our ASCA OTCH as wewere only 26 points shy of getting it going into the trial.Friday evening we were the only dog of 4 to qualify in Utility with a score of 189.5, picking up 3.5OTCH points and bringing us to a standing total of the year of 77.5 OTCH points. We also showed inOpen B and he did fine in the individual exercises and he held his sit stay. However, he came up on hiselbows and broke his down stay with his butt firmly planted a big improvement from sniffing otherarmbands so no UDX legs.Saturday he blew me off on the first article because the steward didnt know what she was doing andoverscented the articles in the pile and my hands were too cold to hotscent the metal article. He also2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 715 PM734 i i i in4 4474 - MARCHAPRIL 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWPerformance Continuedblew me off on the directed jumping acting as if he was dyslexic. I even teased him in the ring ofhaving dyslexia and needing blue lens glasses.So for the season in ASCA after finishing his UD on the 20th of Jan. we have picked up the 77.5 OTCHpoints. In ASCA the OTCH is based on your scoreas long as you have scores above 185.5 you earnOTCH points in half point increments up to 15 for a perfect score of 200. You also need a score of 193or higher in both Open B and Utility and one score of 195 or higher in either class, which he has.Because the ASCA shows are so much smaller it would be virtually impossible to earn OTCH pointsbased on the number of dogs in the class.AKC OTCH POINTINGCaroline Scott writes that on October 15 in Memphis, with 19 dogs entered, UCDX Gidgets CinnamonPrince UDX2 RA placed 3rd with a 196 in Utility B for 2 OTCH points and a HS Toy trophy. Levi alsoqualified with a 196 in Open B, earning his 21st UDX leg. On October 28 in Benton, Arkansas, on dirtoutside under cover [and we all know that can mean almost anything], he took 1st in Utility B with 195.5,but lost the runoff for HIT. He did get High Combined with a big crystal and silver vase, and his 22nd UDXleg the next day he earned his 23rd UDX leg. Carolyn writes about Saturdays trial, I could not get goodfooting on hard packed bumpy dirtit just wasnt a good heeling area. Levi was going around holes,and many exhibitors did not show in Open B or come back the next day because of the dirt. Getting 2UDX legs under those conditions strikes me as quite an accomplishmentCarolyn also writes that at another trial the judge mis-heard Levis name. She kept telling everyone what acute name that little dog had, She calls him Flea Bite Carolyn was pretty put out, but I think its cuteTITLES, WE GOT TITLESAMERICAN KENNEL CLUBCompanion DogGreat Rivers Meg Rules Malashel CD RN, 10106, Elaine WishnowElaine says, There was severe wind 65 mph on the day Meg got her CD.

We visit the SandersAssisted Living Residence in Virginia, where I work as a nurse, for two hours, twice amonth. The residents faces light up when our little Poms walk in the door. Sharing ourdelightful breed with the public makes a huge difference in the lives of those living in ourfacility.Our visits not only socialize our dogs, but contributes to the well being of the residents.By cuddling our dogs, their stress level decreases and this interaction has a positiveimpact on heart rate and blood pressure.The joy our participation affords us can only be exceeded by the joy on the faces of thoseholding our dogs. Last year, we celebrated the arrival of a new litter. The residents wereexcited. Included are photos of the puppies at eight weeks of age.Puppy LoveThe residents love hearing news regarding our upcoming litters andshow careers. Many stay involved in our activities. Recently our Pomsprovided comfort for a terminal cancer resident and her family. Thisperson, in her earlier life, owned a Pom named Toby. Though no longercommunicating, she held the little dogs in her bed and smiled.I highly recommend visiting assisted living homes and hospitals. It isso rewarding in many ways. For those interested in starting your ownvisits, I recommend you contact the activity director at nursing homes,assisted living homes, adult day care, Veterans facilities, and hospitalsin your area. We found our Pom visits are the most attended activitythroughout the facility, with almost a 100 participation rate.2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 716 PM77V_rr'_78 - MARCHAPRIL 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWPine Bluff Arkansas was the site for the Central Arkansas Pomeranian Clubs annual winter Specialty.

Katie Gammill - Lerna, Illinoisindcrk13011consolidated.netwww.indiancreekshelties.comWhere are all the points The sport of dog shows is changingDue to numerous shows, majors are harder to find today than they everwere. Exhibitors building a major may find it broken by a single personchanging their mind about attending the show.AREALLTHEPOINTSWHEREDouble entering, which is expensive, is a common practice today. Itsends false signals to other competitors regarding the possibility of a majorentry holding. How many of us have driven hundreds of miles to a dog showonly to find the major breaks There was a time people were committed to holding those majors,one way or another. If one was sick or something came up to prevent theirattendance, they handed their dog over a friend to take to the show.Today, since Champions can be counted toward the points, a dog cango Best of Breed BOB over Specials and pick up a major win. If a dogwins a Group, it can pick up a major IF there are any majors in other breedsrepresented in the Group at that time. IF fellow exhibitors make the decisionyou should show, and IF you win, at least you DID ask for their direction.Communication, once again, is paramount. Usually, no one minds gettingbeat by a better dog. On the other hand, single points can be cliff hangersas well as majors when the goal is a championship. If the major is broken atthe last minute, or if the person wins and does not go BOB, they pick upinsurance points. This situation makes them a target of disgruntledexhibitors who DID need the single points.Here is another scenario The dog or bitch finishes his or her Championshipthe first day. Should the exhibitor bump their dog up to BOB the followingday IF it breaks the major for other exhibitors A discussion regarding theother exhibitors feelings are in order. If they suggest you take your dog in tohold the major, so be it. If your dog does win the points, it was their choicefor you to compete. One might poorly handle their dog in an attempt to haveit ignored if the major breaks, however, many judges are so focused, theymight not notice it was being done.IF someone enters their dog and IF the major breaks, and IF there isa possibility of going over the Specials for BOB to pick up the covetedmajor, do not resent their appearance.The unknown entity is Will this judgeput a class dogbitch over a special Ifhe does NOT, and if the exhibitorsrequested this person to hold the major,try to be gracious. Usually, this personfeels as badly about picking up yourpoints, as you do losing them.Some exhibitors walk out of thering and say to the judge. You couldhave finished my dog today. Mostjudges choose the best representative ofthe breed standard to go on to BOW. Iftwo dogs are equal or of quality, there isno problem of giving the major to both.At times, judges putting the larger entryover the smaller entry does notguarantee the major to the other sex, asthe point system in place for thatparticular sex may be different. Therule of thumb is Only when two entriesare of equal quality, do both sexesbenefit from the major entry. Thejudges responsibility is not to finish aparticular dog, but to judge to thestandard in todays competition.Another fly in the ointment.

The next time you have a dog with abad head, perhaps you should enter it under this judge. Make notes, keep afile. It will serve you well in the future. Attempt to find out what breed thejudge initially bred and owned. Research can help identify what to take to aparticular judge in the future.Showing dogs goes deeper than running into a ring, picking up aribbon and leaving. Do not be a Show and Go person. Stay for Groups anddevelop an eye for proportions. Watch through Best In Show. Talk tobreeders of different breeds. Keep your eyes and mind open. Listen closely.Then sort the wheat from the chaff.The great thing about the sport of dogs is every day there issomething new to learn. Those who quit learning or feel they know it all aremissing the core of why dog shows evolved in the first place. The bottom-lineremains, no matter the reason, anyone who becomes involved in dogs has aresponsibility to breed to the same standard. For exhibitors and judges alike,this standard should become a template in their minds. Every breed has astandard and pictorial standards are available. Be well versed in yourstandard and make every breeding count toward producing a better dog.Let us leave the sport of dogs to future generations so they too, mayenjoy the challenge of producing breed excellence in a breed of theirchoice.same day, what IF the dog of choicetakes the Group 1 under the samejudge IF this judge has given this dog amajor at a show before this group win,the major WILL NOT COUNT towardits championship. The dog or bitch mustreceive two majors under two differentjudges to become a Champion. Thepoints count, the major does not First, out of consideration forfellow exhibitors, if you cannot attendthe show after entering, a phone callmight suffice. Let people know. Second,do not speak for someone else regardinghis or her attendance. Call them andask. It is all about communication andtolerance.It is all aboutSPORTSMANSHIP The old timephilosophy was this. When a hot newprospect entered the ring, we heard,Let this dog finish fast and move on.Every breed has puppy fliers. Shouldone major be awarded after one year ofage That has been tossed aroundbefore. How many fliers actuallybecome outstanding adults How manyfliers go oversize or lose the desiredqualities when mature A point ofinterest is the large classes of puppies atany national. Why do the classesbecome smaller in Open, Bred By, andAmerican Bred a few of years down theroad Where do all the puppy hopefulsgoWith luck, you will find thatelusive major.

Please bid with your heartLA.- IAmerican Pomemnian Club4MARCHAPRIL 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 93As a Pomeranian breeder, how will the use of DNA affect your breeding program, sales, or showing in the futureDNA testing has brought a new era in breeding. We have all our males DNAd and keep this as a permanent record.We then have the ability to provide DNA credentials if requested. While not cheap, it is inexpensive for what it doesthe testing can eliminate any question with great certainties. Accidental breedings can and do happen even in the bestof circumstances. DNA can be the identification marker for a lost or stolen animal or an unscrupulous purchaser whowould try to switch one for another. We hope sometime in the near future to have all dogs DNAd not just the males andespecially the ones being shown. David and Carlene GilstrapIt really wont, as I already DNA most of my Poms. I do DNA all males I keep, because after three litters, they haveto be anyhow. I dont sell overseas, so for me that isnt an issue. And I just recently started DNAing my females, as Ihave the money to do so, because I have the feeling, eventually AKC is going to require it.Linda PelzI think DNAing puppies is such a good idea, as there seems to be to many unethical people out there. Ever thought of abuyer trying to send back a puppy, and it was not from you, and the DNA proves it. You sell a Pom, it dies andbuyer does a necropsy on it, claiming dog is from you. And wants it replaced. The DNA can prove if it is yours or not.Of course a DNA Swab has to be done at time of necropsy at The Teaching Veterinarian School, not the sellers northe buyers vet. If we live long enough I guess we can see about anything.Name withheld by request.I think that DNA testing will be a much-needed requirement for the future of our breed. The unethical behavior of afew breeders is making breeding a nightmare of confusion and deceit, which is a terrible mirror on the state of theworld. Twenty years ago, the thought would have never occurred to me, but things change, sometimes not for the best.Name withheld by request.DNA could prove invaluable at a later date for various reasons. I will always do a DNA Cheek Swab on a puppy priorto it going to a new owner, and let the new owner know this. I also do a Cheek Swab on a grown dog when it dies, ifit had not been DNAd earlier. I even have hair roots filed away on a Champion who died before I got him DNAedmany years ago.Virginia DimickIt the use of DNA will help to maintain the integrity of pedigrees. It will also help breeders in the future not to getmerle mixed into their program if they prefer to keep their lines free of it. The Great Dane club Of America can nowtrack the specific carriers of this co-dominant gene.I also believe that if someone is accused of transferring pups to the wrong dams, DNA can sort out the parentage andend disputes. It can help identify lost or stolen dogs, if a microchip has not been implanted, or has been lost.I strongly believe in DNA testing. It backs up the efforts of good breeders.Sincerely, Kelley ScottPom Talk questions and comments are welcome.2007 MAR APRIL Pom Review.p65 2122007, 719 PM93i i i in4804-v ,\V.JKA4 4494 - MARCHAPRIL 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWOn Sunday, January 21, 2007, the Pomeranian Club of Central Virginia, Inc. held an American Kennel Club PlanA Sanctioned Specialty Match at the Richmond Dog Obedience Club facilities in Richmond, Virginia.
