I assumedthat our entries would drop in number this year and I hoped the drop would not be too drastic.By the time the entries started coming in we were working hard on the catalog ads, entries received were recorded and filed to await the firstentry count. An entry count was finally taken on Tuesday, February 21. The total was a mere 136. I realized I had been correct to assumeentries would drop, still, I could not help being disappointed, there were a lot less entries than I had anticipated and with only three daysleft before closing, I didnt think the numbers would go up very much more. My experience as Show Secretary has taught me that you canexpect to receive approximately one third of a shows total entries three or four days before the closing date, therefore, I anticipated wewould probably end up with 200 to 225 entries. I received 35 entries on Wednesday, making our total entry 171.Thursday morning the phone began ringing at 500 am and my fax started spitting out entries, by noon pm the fax cartridge was empty, Ireplaced it and the faxes kept coming. At 800 pm the fax cartridge was empty again but, it appeared that things were slowing down. Icounted entries late that night and was shocked that our count had reached 305. This explained why my fax cartridge ran out twice, wereceived 134 entries in one day and the majority of them had been faxed. The entries were still down by 100, from the 2006 total but I wasthrilled that we had a good deal more than I had predicted. There would be a few more entries received on Friday but there are not a lot ofexhibitors who wait until the last day to enter because there is a risk they wont be able to get entered on time.Imagine my surprise when, early Friday morning the fax machine started up again and just like the day before it continued spitting outentries right up to the 600 pm closing time. I knew we had received a lot of entries, but I was stunned when the final entry count reached407. The entries were no longer under those of 2006, they now exceeded 2006 by 11 entries and for the first time in my life I was happy tobe wrong.I was very proud of all the APC members and exhibitors, who entered their dogs despite the risks. Everyone who submitted entries, provedtheir loyalty to APC and the Pomeranian Breed and I salute the courage shown by each person bringing their dogs into Kentucky.I am pleased to report that the Louisville animal control created no problems for the Club, or anyone in attendance at the National. All thePomeranians brought to Kentucky made it back home safely. I sincerely thank every APC member, exhibitor, guest and spectator whocourageously attended the National in spite of the risk the despicable animal ordinance passed.The National ran smoothly with only minor glitches that Im sure went unnoticed by most of us. It would not be possible to hold a Nationalas large as ours without the many APC members who volunteer a good deal of their time to ensure we will be comfortable, have fun, becomeeducated, and have everything we need to show our dogs. Our Club is indeed fortunate to have so many talented, and willing members. Iwanted to list the names of everyone who worked to make the National a success, but there are so many names that I would almost certainlyforget someone, this would make them feel bad and I would feel like a heel. Therefore, to every member who volunteered their valuabletime to help with the National please accept my sincere thank you.There is one name I feel compelled to mention, she is the member I have voted the National Specialty MVP most valuable person. My votegoes to, Janice Russell, aka, APC Show Chairperson, I am probably the only one who has any idea of the hundreds of hours she put inworking on the seemingly endless list of jobs and chores that must be taken care of to hold a National Specialty as large as ours. Not onlydid she promptly take care of the Show Chair duties, she kept up the Recording Secretary duties as though it was the only job she had. Totop it off, she took care of numerous tasks for me when I fell behind. My eternal thanks goes to you Janice. I dont think I would have madeit without your help this year.2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4132007, 952 AM24I te m the PresidentCynthia C.

The Board chose to take this action to ensure a proper meeting procedure would be followed, and b all APC members would be treated with respect and fairness.A quorum was reached at the Annual meeting by those in attendance. A Point of Order concerning the handling of the election was raised by an APC member, the Point of Order was then ruled upon by the chair and appealed by the member. A lengthy debate ensued, an APC member called the question, and the appealed Point of Order was finally voted on by the membership. It was voted to sustain the Ruling of the Chair by a vast majority of the members present. Thus the election results stand as reported in the January-February 2007 issue of the Pomeranian Review.The Officers and Board of Directors are pleased to continue serving the APC membership, and our Pomeranian Breed. We thank you for your support and encourage each of you to contact us any time you need clarification of information you have received pertaining to APC.We also invite every member to contact us anytime you have a question, suggestion, idea, or complaint. As an APC member it is not only your right to contact the Board with your concerns, it is your duty to alert the Board of any issues that may affect our Club, the membership, or our Breed.If you are interested in volunteering your time on a committee, or job position, please dont hesitate to let us know. Tell us what you are experienced in, interested in, or wish to learn. I assure you with the large variety of committees and jobs our Club utilizes, you wont have too much trouble finding a position that suits you.And finally, I would like to remind everyone, if you wish to contact a Board member their contact information can be obtained, via the APC Membership Roster, the Pomeranian Review, or from the APC website at www.americanpomeranianclub.org .Sincerely,Cindy Boulware APC President26 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWWaysWays Means ContinuedTHANK YOU THANK YOUTHANK YOU..I can hardly believe another Specialty has come and gone so quickly, but what a fantastic show it was.

Healthy pups who have a Dam with goodinstincts will wean naturally. It is important to have a bowl of clean water and small kibble such as EukanubaSmall Breed Puppy available from the time your pups are 3-4 weeks old. The Mother will gradually nurse thepups less, and encourage them to eat the kibble. Ive even had exceptional Moms that will chew kibble into smallpieces and offer it to their pups. Natural weaning is ideal, and I do not intervene if the process is going well.Unfortunately, not all litters can be weaned naturally. Some Moms lack the instinct to push their pups towardeating solid food. Some Moms even go so far as to jealously guard the food bowl, not allowing their pups to eatanything from it. Monitor the weaning process carefully or you may end up with a hypoglycemic pup or worse.Check the pups often to make sure their bellies feel full, and they are playing normally between naps. If a pupbegins to lose weight, is listless, crying more than normal, or his stomach feels empty, you will need to intervenein the natural weaning process.For pups who need weaning help, first offer mush in a shallow bowl. My favorite puppy mush is human baby ricecereal mixed with goats milk and a little plain yogurt. If the Mom tries to eat the mush, she must be removed tolet the pups have their fill. I let Mom eat the leftovers when the pups have finished, as it is good nutrition for heras well. Remove any mush that remains after hour and wash the mush dish well. If the pups becomeconstipated, switch to human baby oatmeal instead of rice cereal. Once the pups are adjusted to the mush,gradually add powdered kibble, finely minced canned food, or pureed meats. Offer mush 2-3 times per day andleave a bowl of small kibble for them to eat in between. Gradually reduce the mush as the pups successfully eatkibble. Most pups are fully weaned onto kibble by eight weeks of age. Sickly pups, picky eaters, or those proneto hypoglycemia may need mush longer.Our next question is My Pom puppy is a picky eater. What can I do2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 404 PM28--'-rAPC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 29gRuth Beams new address is White Oak Manor, 4009 Craig Avenue, Charlotte, NC 28211.

My name is Ellen Takayama and Iwas born and raised in this beautiful island paradise luckyme I currently reside in a suburb just outside ofHonolulu called Aiea yes its all vowels on a hilloverlooking Pearl Harbor. I have been blessed with alovely family. My husband Art and I have been marriedfor over 37 years and we have one daughter, Amy, whomarried her husband Bruce in 2001 after nine years ofcourtship. We are also the proud grandparents of threeyear-oldKelsie who has filled our lives with such JOYthat only other grandparents can understand. My daughterworks for the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel in the financeoffice and we often travel together and take advantage ofher employee discounts. In fact, we just spent this past Thanksgiving Day weekend at the beautiful Hilton Waikaloa Hotel on the BigIsland and also spent a week at the San Francisco Hilton totally free a few years ago. Now that I am retired, my hobbies includereading murder mysteries - I am a READAHOLIC and read eight to twelve books a month, playing volleyball with my husband in amixed volleyball league that we have been playing in for since 1984 - we are now playing against kids who are young enough to be ourchildren or grandchildren and still have a winning record, and of course trying to breed a better Pomeranian - I am a POMOHOLIC whohas been addicted to Poms since 1978. Now that you know where I am now, lets go back to the past when I grew up in Hawaii beforeit became a state in 1959.My family always had what we called poi pet dogs mixed breed dogs of the Heinz 57 variety which I understand are nowbeing called Designer Dogs and my first dog was a beagle mix named Skippy who was two years older than me. When I was growingup in the 1950s, there was no leash law and Skippy was allowed to roam the neighborhood and sired many little Skippys who werecognized immediately due to his distinct markings which he passed on to his get. His favorite pastime was chasing and barkingferociously at the shiny hubcaps on cars driving by our house. It was a miracle that he never did get run over by these cars and finallywent to sleep one night under the family car and didnt get up the next morning. There were many other dogs over the years that weremy constant companions.ALOHAALOHAALOHAALOHAALOHAand welcome to beautiful HAWAII,the home of Vintage Pomeranians.intagea2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 405 PM33I I I I I I I I ITT4ri4ANA^ ^ ,V - ' r . ,sj34 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWL-R 1981 Ch.

Iam the youngest of five children and grewup closer in age to my nieces and nephewsthan my brother and sisters. My siblingsare 8, 13,16 and 18 years older than me whilemy nieces and nephews are three or moreyears younger than me. I met my husband,Art the youngest of 10 children, whileattending the University of Hawaii and wegot married after I graduated with anadvanced degree in education. Afterteaching for a year, I went on maternity leaveand decided that I wanted to stay home alittle longer to raise our daughter, Amy.When I was ready to return to my teachingjob, there were no positions available due tothe ending of the Vietnam War especiallysince I had been teaching at a military school.I put myself on a waiting list but after waitingfor two more years we decided that I neededto return to work if we were ever going tohave a place of our own. With no teachingjobs available, I ended up taking a job at abank as a clerk typist at a greatly reducedsalary in the loan department in 1973. Myduties included typing up loan contracts ona manual typewriter, doing credit lineadvances manually transferring from thecredit line account to deposit in the checkingaccounts that were overdrawn, runningcredit checks via telephone we actuallycalled all the individual banks to get ratingsand any other duties as assigned. I workedat a small local bank, City Bank, which isno longer in business as it was bought outby a larger bank a few years ago. I attendednight classes sponsored by the AmericanInstitute of Banking to further my knowledgesince my degree in education left me severelylacking in business and banking courses. Iwas very fortunate because my bosses wereall very supportive and I received severalpromotions over the years and ended up asan assistant vice president and manager of asmall branch before taking an earlyretirement in 1996.I purchased my first Pomeranian in1978 from an old time breeder, Janet Cox ofHy Jan-Le kennels. I did not even know whata dog show was but just wanted a pretty pet,which is what I got. I thought that if I boughta female and bred her just once, I would getmy money back. WRONG, WRONG,WRONG Twenty-nine years later, I amstill in the RED. Fluffy was a very nice petthat was from excellent lines. I think shewas a granddaughter of one of the topwinning Poms at the time Ruth DotsonsCh. Sun Dots Rambling Man. I bought mynext two Poms from Clarice Oganeku ofWoodrose who was then importing her dogsfrom Norma Creider in Oklahoma. Sheended up selling me a beautiful one-yearoldmale who they had shown as a puppywho had both his majors and already hadnine points. Shadow was everything I couldhave wished for and eventually became Ch.Woodroses Shadow Dancer by winning aGroup I for his last three points. I bred Fluffyto Shadow and ended up with a verydisappointing litter a nice sized femaledelivered breech and dead, a small malewithout a tail the only one I have ever hadborn without a tail and a nice male with anundescended testicle.

I was usinghandlers at the time but I had two handlersthat wanted to show her and the only wayout of that uncomfortable situation was toshow her myself. She finished in spite ofmy awkward handling and I was so proudbecause I did it myself breederownerhandled all the way. I showed another malesired by a male owned by my very dear friend,Betty Aona, of Alani Poms and Chihuahuas.The sires name was Ch. Alanis NanakuliFlash and the sons name was VintageFlashdance on Ice with a call name of KikaHawaiian for Tiger. Over the years Bettyand I became the best of friends having somuch fun at dog shows drinking ourwinners or losers coffee depending on thesituation. The coffee was spiked withBaileys Irish Cream and topped withwhipped cream and I fondly remembersitting with Betty at ringside having a greattime - win or lose. Sadly, Betty passed awayin 1995 after battling cancer for a year anddog shows are not quite the same withouther. Betty was the one that twisted my armto attend our first summer nationals in 1989in South San Francisco where we met NormaCreider in person. Nobody ever knew whatNorma Creider looked like, as she didnt liketo take pictures and always used handlers.We were quite surprised and honored whenshe came up to us to introduce herself.My next two show puppies wereacquired from Clarice Oganeku of Woodrose.The female became Ch. Woodroses PrincessHeidi and the male became Ch. WoodrosesGin N Vermouth Marty. Marty finishedin two months in five shows and I think hewas the first Pom to finish as a puppy inHawaii. He had a large fan club but was notspecialed because he really didnt like toshow. Heidi was bred three times and onlyhad one live litter. She was bred to Can.Ch. Chriscendo Conspiracy and there wereonly two puppies in the litter a beautiful malewho was not sound and a very goofy lookingfemale with a longer nose dont know wherethat came from as both sire and dam hadshort noses, flat coat and none of the featuresthat would make her a show dog. However,she was very sound and had good movementand a showy attitude. Vintage Canadian Mistdid go on to become my foundation bitchand did produce two champion males that Iam very proud of BISABISS Ch. VintageHotEdition of Howlene Robbie andmultiple group winner and BISS Ch. VintageVino Vino Vinnie.After finishing both Heidi andMarty in 1992, I decided to try importingPoms on my own and called CassandraEvans of Wee Hearts after admiring some ofher dogs in the Pom Registry now defunct.We talked over the phone and I explainedabout our 120-day quarantine at the time and2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 405 PM35I I I I I I I I ITTr msrs VJrjnic T. iJ I ,ST4 4 . v r ' 4 C -A - Ii^ ..t. ,j . - -.36 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWL - R Sandalwood JO Vintage Galliano Tony Sandalwood EP Vintage Alize Ali.Kennel Visit ContinuedL - R Ch.

She did eventually mail me avideo and her dogs were just beautiful. Wewere planning a family trip to Orlando in1993 so we decided to take a detour toVidalia, Georgia to meet Cassandra and seeher dogs. I ended up getting two girls whowent on to become Ch. Wee Hearts HighFashion and Ch. Wee Hearts VintageChampagne Bubbles. The following year,I took another detour to visit Cassandra onour way to the summer nationals in NewOrleans. I ended up with a beautiful maleWee Hearts Simply Striking aka Strikerand two litter sisters since I couldnt decidewhich one I liked better. The orange girlwent on to become Ch. Wee HeartsSerendipity Sarah who became myhusbands heart dog and the sable girl wasWee Hearts Moonlite N Roses who wonsome points but never finished her titlebecause she didnt like to show. She wasjust beautiful and an experienced handlertold me that she was group-winning materialwhen she was a puppy.After retiring from the Bank in1996, I was able to do a lot more breedingand in 1997 got my first cream puppy. Ibred my foundation bitch, Misty, to ShirleyLeus Ch. Amours Thats Hot to TrotHottsie and had a beautiful litter of threepups a red male, a cream male and anorange bitch. The cream male was sold on aco-ownership as a show potential to HazelMiller, Arlene Otaguro and Robin Watanabeof Howlene-Teahra and he went on to becomeCh. Vintage HotEdition of HowleneRobbie, my first BIS winner. I kept theorange female pup in the litter VintageSome Like It Hot Marilyn who went on toproduce some pretty puppies. I made it acondition that the word HOT had to appearin these pups names as a tribute to their sire,Hottsie.I bred Misty to Marit Hattorisbeautiful male, Ch. Starfires Playboy ofHaiku Tony and had a nice litter of fourpuppies three males and one female. Oneof the pups was a lot bigger than the otherthree and was sold with limited papers as Ithought he would go oversize. At threemonths, he was already four pounds whilethe other pups were only half his size. WhenI followed up a year later with his happy petowners, he had matured at five and a halfpounds. A cream male was sold as a showpotential because I felt he was the best moverin the litter. Unfortunately, he ended upbeing too big to show and was replaced witha female from another litter who went on tobecome Ch. Vintage Howlene Dresden DollDemi. Demi a Striker daughter not onlywon BOB and a Group Placement from theclasses as a puppy but also went on to becomea BISS winner, too. The red male pup waskept till he was a year old but I eventuallyhad to sell him on a co-ownership as he wasfighting with my old champion male, Marty,and the two of them would spend all day justgrowling at each other through the fence.Shari Fukuyama was looking for a show malePom so I ended up selling her Vinnie Ch.Vintage Vino Vino on a co-ownership.Vinnie was not named for a long time but Ifinally ended up naming him after awonderful deli style restaurant that we foundin Venice.

MJ was shown by Stacia Ohirafor his BISS win and a BOBGroupplacement at the local toy show.Cass was bred to Ch. Robbie andhad a litter of four pups, three males andone female. The puppies were all beautifulbut this was my HEARTBREAK litter. Thiswas a half brotherhalf sister breedingdoubling up on Misty and I think thebreeding was just too close. One of the malesin the litter I consider the greatest Pom I haveever bred. He went on to become Ch. VintageTequila Gold Quila. The funny thing isthat Quila went through a normal puppy coatloss and was very flat coated and did not havethe typical fuzzy puppy coat associated withBSD. In fact, he never had very much coatbut he would just float around the ring withhis short back, chunky legs with his prettyhead held up high. I can never forget theday that he took BOBGroup I from the BBEclass with me handling. I was very happywith the 5 point major that he got by goingWD and never aspired for BOB or Group Ias that wouldnt give him any more points.I guess because I was so relaxed, I probablydid a better job showing him and the judgecouldnt keep her eyes off of him. Therewere two BIS champion Poms in the ringwith us so you can imagine my surprise whenshe pointed to us for BOB. In group judging,I didnt expect to do anything so we just hadfun in the ring. The judge pointed to us andsent us near the No. 4 placement so I wasvery happy to be considered and was verysurprised when I found out that we had wona Group I. Quila finished the next day butfell off the table at ringside while I wasshowing a class bitch so he was not movingas well that day. He did go on to win BOBGroup I at his first show as a special withhardly any coat. Unfortunately he suffereda severe fall where he jumped from a chairwhile being groomed by someone else andactually knocked himself out. He did recovershortly afterwards but started suffering fromseizures a week later. He started losing morecoat and was put on thyroid medication afterdoing some blood work. I guess I am still indenial, as his coat loss seemed to coincidewith his accidental fall. Today he is aliveand hairless but his temperament is not thesame the vet said that he is crazy and notnormal as he seems to have suffered somebrain damage due to the fall as he can nolonger stay still and is very hyperactive. Butwhen I look at him, my eyes do not see anugly hairless dog I see a beautiful showyPom that I love so dearly.At the same time that I was showingQuila, I was also showing a bitch that I hadobtained from Cassandra Evans of WeeHearts. Katie had to go through the 30-dayquarantine that was required at the time andwas released on a Sunday and shown the nextweekend. I never expected her to do as wellas she did but she finished her title in twomonths, was shown 8 times and was defeatedonly once and became Ch. Wee HeartsKismet of Vintage. In her very first show,she won WBBOS over a special for a threepoint major. Katie was so sound and wouldjust ask for her wins by going up to the judge,cocking her head to the side and waggingher tail. She was such a fun dog to show.I met Anna LaFortune in 1994 at a Californiaspecialty and visited her home in Washingtonin 2001 when I visited my friend, Mark Iseki,who was keeping Katie and a black and tanbitch for me. Anna called me the followingyear and offered me a show prospect maleas her husband was very ill and she wasntplanning to go to the shows. That is how Iacquired Ditto Ch. Sungolds VintageChianti. Anna thought that he looked somuch like his sire, Ch. Sungold Phyner JusWonderful, so I agreed to call him Ditto ashis call name. Ditto was kept by my dearfriend, Sue Cook of Rainbeau Poms, andshown by Marlene and Marlin Presser ofApolloette Poms. Sue has a very nicechampion male out of Ditto who she calledBrother and named Ch. Rainbeaus VintageHawaii. Ditto is now in Hawaii and will beused at stud after losing some excess weight.Ch. MJ was bred to Vintage Sip OBrandy and produced only one female puppywho went on to become Ch. Vintage BrandyAlexandra Lexi.

She toldme that she was no longer breeding andreferred me to someone who had just usedSamson at stud, Shauna Jenkins of WindsorPoms. Shauna had a litter of 4 beautifulpuppies out of Samson of which 3 completedtheir titles. I decided to send one of my bestproducing bitches to Audrey to breed toSamson but unfortunately my bitch did nottake. I knew that I was entitled to a repeatbreeding and asked Audrey whether I couldpay to qualify Sam to come to Hawaii withouthaving to go through quarantine so that Icould recoup some of my expenses bybreeding him to more than one bitch. Sheso generously agreed since she was notbreeding any more. I am trying so hard tobreed a nice male pup out of Samson forAudrey and I to co-own and for her to show.While attending the 2003 summernationals in Olympia, I met Laura Newboldfor the first time in person as we hadcorresponded via email earlier. She wasshowing two very nice male pups that werenot available. Laura called me a few monthslater and offered me a show male pup andsaid she would keep him and qualify him tocome to Hawaii without having to go throughquarantine. That is how I acquired LaRajusHollywoods Lil Oscar. I met Oscar at the2004 Nationals in Louisville where Laurashowed him in the large 6-9 month puppyclass where was pulled out for consideration.Oscar arrived in Hawaii in September 2004and won back to back five point majors hisfirst weekend out at an outdoor show.Unfortunately he doesnt like indoor showsand refused to walk at our indoor specialtyshow. He then went through his year oldshed and I accepted Lauras invitation to sendhim back to her to grow coat in the NorthernCalifornia colder climate. Unfortunately hewas stolen from Lauras yard but luckily Ihave three daughters of his that I kept.Oscars dam is from Shyacres lines so I bredone of his daughters Vintage BlendedMargarita aka Rita to Ch. Samson andhave a beautiful little cream girl. She wasborn all of 1.5 oz and had to be tube fed for10 days, bottle fed for three weeks beforebeing weaned at 4 weeks. Everybody myvet, my friends and even myself who sawthis puppy did not think she was going tomake it but she is a SURVIVOR and shewanted to live. She is named Vintage PouillyFuisse Greta and she is a very stubbornpuppy and a lot smarter than me. When shedoesnt want to show she just puts on thebrakes and refuses to walk.I also have two nice male pups outof Samson and an MJ daughter VintageCabernet Maya. These two pups along withGreta have tons of coat and very pretty headtypes. I hope they will do well in the ringthis year.I would like to thank the people whohave been instrumental in helping me alongthe way.

The most common cause oftrauma-induced hair loss is scratching. History should clue usin as to whether or not the dog is itchy. On physical examination,trauma-induced itch is usually associated with broken hairs,linear excoriations, and thickening of the skin. The mostfrequent causes of trauma-induced hair loss include allergies,ectoparasites, and infections.If we decide that the hair is falling out, then the nextdecision is whether the hair is falling out from inflammationor a non-inflammatory skin condition. The most likelyinflammatory conditions that we see associated with hair lossare infectious. Hair loss associated with these dermatoses isusually patchy and moth eaten rather than diffuse.Non-inflammatory hair loss is usually more diffuseand often symmetrical. Non-inflammatory causes can be furtherbroken down into two categories diseases associated withabnormal hair growth and hair cycle abnormalities.HAIR CYCLE REVIEWThe hair cycle consists of three major phases telogen,anagen, and catagen. The telogen phase of the hair cycle is theresting phase, anagen is the active growth phase, and catagenis the process by which the hair undergoes involution to theresting phase. Shedding or exogen is separate from the haircycle.The hair cycle of people is an anagen dependent cyclewith hairs remaining in anagen for 2 to 6 years. Dogs dontnecessarily fit into this model. With the exception of Poodlesand probably other breeds that need regular hair cuts, mostdogs have telogen predominant cycles. This means that hairsremain in telogen for months to years without a new anagenhair being initiated. It was shown that the majority of hairsfrom Beagles and Malamutes were in telogen with only a smallpercentage of hairs in anagen. These telogen hairs are wellanchored and do not pull out easily. Thus, the presence ofhairs in telogen alone does not indicate a pathologic state.There are many factors that regulate the hair cycle.There is no factor that uniquely affects the hair cycle withoutinfluencing other areas of the body.DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH ABNORMALHAIR GROWTHAlopecic hair loss disorders in this category areassociated with abnormalities in the development of the hairresulting in hairs that are abnormal, fragile, and malformed.The most common dysplasias that we recognize are caused bygenetic selection for hairlessness and include the ChineseCrested Dog, Mexican Hairless Dog, and Sphinx Cat. Inaddition, congenital hypotrichosis is a true dysplasia and maybe associated with additional defects in teeth or nails.Color dilution alopecia and black hair folliculardysplasia are alopecias associated with defective pigmentation.Since hair pigment is acquired during the anagen phase of thehair cycle, the alopecia is associated with hair abnormalitiesoccurring during the growth phase. The alopecia usually occursgradually during the first 3 years of life and is color restricted.Color dilution alopecia is associated with the coat color dilutiongene and has been described in Doberman Pinschers, GreatDanes, Whippets, Irish Setters, and Yorkshire Terriers, to namea few. Black hair follicular dysplasia is seen in many breedswith the alopecia restricted to the black haired regions of thecoat.Hair Hair Hair Hair Hair TTTTTodaodaodaodaodayyyyy,,,,,Gone Gone Gone Gone Gone TTTTTomoromoromoromoromorrrrrrooooowwwwwLinda A.

What these diseases all have incommon is that the hair enters telogen and fails to resumecycling. The telogen hairs eventually fall out and the classicpattern of alopecia bilaterally symmetrical alopecia sparingthe head and extremities is observed. In addition, many of theother cutaneous signs we associate with endocrine dermatosesmay also be seen with these other alopecias associated withhair cycle arrest, including dull, dry hair failure of hairs toregrow after clipping pigmentary changes seborrheacomedones and secondary infections.Histologically, these diseases are also quite similar.In general, histopathology cannot differentiate endocrinediseases from other causes of non-inflammatory alopecia.Therefore, the main reason to biopsy a dog with suspectedhair cycle abnormalities is to rule out inflammatory causes ofalopecia.Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine dermatosisassociated with hair cycle abnormalities. Hypothyroidism,however, is not commonly associated with the classic bilaterallysymmetrical alopecia. Instead, dogs often present with alopeciain areas of wear. Clinical findings include the alopecic rattail, alopecia over the elbows and hips, alopecia around theneck from the dogs collar, and alopecia along the bridge ofthe nose. There may also be a preferential loss of guard hairsresulting in the appearance of a puppy coat. Because thehairs are not cycling, owners may note that the dog failed toshed. In addition, the hairs may become bleached since theyare not shedding out. Hyperpigmentation in alopecic areas maybe observed. Recurrent skin infections are also commonly seen.Dogs with Cushings syndrome often present withbilaterally symmetrical alopecia sparing the head andextremities. In addition, dermatologic abnormalities mayinclude thin skin, poor wound healing, bruising, calcinosis cutis,and recurrent infections. Sex hormone dermatoses are uncommon causes ofhair cycle abnormalities. Sex hormones are produced by theadrenal glands and the gonads. Hyperestrogenism has beendiagnosed in intact dogs with cystic ovaries or testicular tumors.It can also be caused by estrogen supplementation. In additionto skin and coat changes, females will often have enlargednipples and vulva and irregular heat cycles. Males may displayfeminization. Hyperandrogenism is usually associated withtesticular tumors. Symmetrical alopecia is not a commonpresentation of this condition.Pattern baldness is a hair loss that usually starts atless than one year of age and progresses over time. Breedscommonly affected include Dachshunds, Boston Terriers,Greyhounds, and Water Spaniels.Cyclic flank alopecia is a seasonal truncal alopeciathat primarily occurs in adult Airedales, Boxers, and EnglishBulldogs. The alopecia is usually symmetrical and is oftenassociated with hyperpigmentation of the skin. The alopeciausually develops during periods of short daylength, being mostnoticeable in winter and early spring. The alopecia does notalways recur each year. The condition appears to be worse upnorth. The hair usually regrows within several monthshowever, some dogs have a prolonged period of alopecia.Hair that fails to regrow following clipping has beencoined post-clipping alopecia. This is often seen in plushcoatedbreeds but may occur in any dog. This is probably notone disease entity but many. The plush-coated breeds may haveAlopecia X or simply have been shaved during the normaltelogen phase of the hair cycle. Post-clipping alopecia is alsooften associated with surgeries in which the dogs received anepidural. In these cases the hair grows back from other surgerysites but fails to regrow from the site of the epidural. Thereason for this is unknown.Telogen defluxion is an uncommon cause of alopeciain dogs. Illness or severe stress causes abrupt cessation ofanagen and synchronizes hair follicles into telogen. One toContinued2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 408 PM46 INI 4 i i i in4 4f4APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 47three months following the stressful incident, the telogen hairsare shed synchronously as new hair cycles begin. The dogexperiences a temporary baldness as new hairs grow.Because all of these alopecic conditions can mimic anendocrine dermatosis, it is important to always rule outhypothyroidism and hyperadrenocorticism prior to decidingthat this is a hair cycle abnormality.ALOPECIA XFor years, breeders of plush-coated breeds andMiniatureToy Poodles have recognized a bilaterallysymmetrical alopecia with hyperpigmentation of the skin thatis not caused by hypothyroidism or hypercortisolemia. Thebreeders refer to this condition as black skin disease or coatfunk, depending on the breed affected. In the veterinaryliterature it has gone by many different names including adultonsetgrowth hormone deficiency hyposomatotropism, growthhormone-responsive alopecia, castration-responsive alopecia,biopsy-responsive alopecia, congenital adrenal hyperplasialikesyndrome, and most recently Alopecia X.The fact that many varied treatments growth hormone,castration, methyltestosterone, mitotane, and melatonin haveresulted in hair regrowth suggests a failure of the hair follicleto cycle properly and that the treatments merely serve to initiateanagen. Hormones are known to influence the hair follicle cycle.Castration, methyltestosterone, and mitotane may result in hairregrowth by merely manipulating hormone concentrations.Melatonin may induce hair growth by decreasing sex hormoneconcentrations in intact dogs however, in neutered dogs, thisis unlikely. Melatonin may indirectly induce hair growth byincreasing growth factors. In addition, melatonin has beenshown to block estrogen receptors in human breast cancer cells.Estrogen receptors are present in telogen follicles and appearto have a regulatory role in the hair cycle. Preliminary studieswith estrogen receptor blockers, however, have failed to causehair regrowth. This is possibly dose-related.Understanding the normal hair cycle control in dogbreeds affected by this condition will hopefully allow us toidentify the pathomechanism of the alopecia. Recent work hasshown that breeds such as the Nordic breeds have hairs in aprolonged telogen phase which may last for years. This is incontrast to Poodles in which the hair cycle has a prolongedanagen phase, similar to that found in people. Interestingly,both of these breed types develop Alopecia X. More researchis needed to unravel the mystery behind this alopecic disorder.Hair Today. Gone Tomorrow ContinuedThe Pomeranian Charitable Trust was pleased to present Dr. Linda Frank of the University of Tennessee as itsseminar speaker during the National in Kentucky. As we had hoped, Dr. Frank helped all of us understand what isknown about the Alopecia X problem so far. Dr. Frank shared her knowledge, integrity, and enthusiasm for thisdifficult topic. Printed on these three pages is a copy of the seminar notes she provided to the attendees.Last year the PCT donated 2,500.00 toward Dr. Franks research grant and 3,150.00 toward the DNA study ofAlopecia X in Bern, Switzerland. We anticipate that both grants will need to be renewed for these studies tocontinue.POMERANIAN CHARITABLE TRUSTTherefore, we are very appreciative of boththe American Pomeranian Club 500.00and the Pomeranian Club of Canada1,000.00 US for their present donations.The PCT also received generous donationsof jewelry some of which is from theLoretta Swit line and an original TimmyWoods of Beverly Hills Sex in the Cityfame purse.

In general, they were well balanced, welltrained, and sound. Comparing the puppies I judgedthis year with those I judged in l998, I think thebreeders have produced Poms with shorter backs,better coats, and improved fronts. In fact, I did notfind a consistency of any bad faults, as in l998 whenthere were many bad fronts. There were a few badbites, both overshot and undershot, a few bad fronts, afew back rears, some soft coats, and large round eyes,but none of the faults were widespread.In placing the classes, many times I reverted to themore subjective criteria to choose the places, since Ihad so many very good puppies. This was true inchoosing the Grand Sweepstakes winner - I loved theJunior winner, but the Senior girl had a more maturecoat.The same was true with the Senior winner and the BOSSenior - the amount of coat was the deciding factor. Ifew times I chose one puppy over another because ofthe size and placement of the eyes. And, of course, youall know how much I love a pretty head I enjoyedseeing the different colors, too, and noted that therewas very good quality there.All in all, it was great fun, but very difficult to chose thewinner, since I had so many of them Thank you verymuch for bringing so many beautiful puppies for me tojudge, and thank you again for choosing me to judgethem.

First, there are safety issues involved. Because they are so small, Poms can easily beinjured. Be careful that your Pom doesnt fall or jump off the couch or the bed. Falling or jumping can result in broken bonesand injured joints. He should be supervised if allowed to navigate stairs.If there are small children in the house, they should be taught to handle a Pom gently and to be cautious not to step onthe Pom or drop it. They should not, as a rule, be allowed to carry the Pom around the house.Larger animals in the household may injure or kill your small dog. They may not intend to hurt the Pom, but they mayaccidentally injure him - for instance, by stepping on him or snapping at him.The Pom is a house pet. He has no defense against wild animals or other dogs who can enter the yard and attack him.Dont allow your Pom to be outdoors unless he is on a leash and you are there to protect him.Your small Pom is sensitive to extremes in weather so, keep him indoors at night and whenever the weather is veryhot or cold. And it should go without saying, never leave your dog in a car. He can die of heat stroke in a short period of time.Next you need to consider some of the characteristics of the breed. Poms can be very vocal. In most communities thereare nuisance laws against barking dogs, so dont allow your dog to bark and annoy the neighbors. Debarking is an option forincessant barkers. This procedure is not without risk, so consider carefully the decision to debark.Regular grooming will be necessary. The Pom is a double-coated breed, which means they have long outer guardhairs, as well as a fluffy cottony undercoat. Poms do shed their undercoat periodically, and will require a thorough brushing orcombing about once a week, year-round. Consistent brushing will keep the shed hair in the trash, instead of on your clothes andfurniture. If you prefer to have your dog professionally groomed, remember to factor that cost into your monthly budget.Poms can be difficult to housebreak. Neutering may reduce the urge of the male Pom to mark his territory in thehouse. For difficult males, a belly band may be necessary. This is a velcro strip which can be wrapped around the waist, withthe addition of a disposable pad which acts as a sort of diaper.Consistency is the key in housebreaking. Frequent trips outdoors are important, with plenty of praise rewarding thedesired behavior. Crate training is another option. There are many books and classes for dog training which can provide youwith more information on training your Pom.Ive decided on a Pom. Now what The search is on for a puppy. Check the American Pomeranian Club for a list ofbreeders and rescue organizations in your area. Avoid pet shop puppies and Internet sales. Pet shop dogs come from highvolumecommercial breeders, who may not provide the same care, socialization, and selection for health and vigor as would ahobby breeder. Look for a hobby breeder who is active in their local andor national Pomeranian club, and who competes withtheir dogs in conformation, agility, obedience, or rally. These activities usually indicate a genuine concern about the welfare ofthe dogs and the breed in general.2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 412 PM70i i i i nA t IAPC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 71Common Health Problems in PomeraniansPomeranians, like all dogs, are subject to a variety of health problems. When you are searching for your dog, makesure to ask about any possible health concerns. Vaccination and deworming schedules should be reviewed with the breeder.Listed below are some of the more common health problems in Pomeranians Luxating Patellas, is a problem of the rear legs. The kneecaps patellas may slip out of place, causing your dog painand lameness. This is the most common health problem in Pomeranians. The most severe cases require surgical correction.There may be a hereditary component to this problem, and breeding dogs should be examined and certified to have minimal orno luxation. Ask to see OFA certification on your dogs parents. A fall or other injury can also cause damage to the knee joint.Thyroid disease is very common, not just in Poms, but in all breeds of dogs. Ask if there is a family history of thyroiddisease. There is also special certification from OFA for thyroid disease. Unfortunately, thyroid problems usually dont appearuntil the dog is mature, so a blood test for thyroid levels should be part of your dogs physical every year or two. Symptoms towatch for are weight gain, tiredness, brittle, thinning coat and irritability. Treatment is thyroid hormone replacement pillswhich are given daily for the rest of the dogs life.Alopecia X sometimes called black skin disease is a certain type of coat loss which is very prevalent in Pomeraniansand also occurs in other related plush-coated breeds. The dog loses hair starting on the rump and thighs, until most of the bodyis hairless except for the head and legs. Neutering may help bring back the coat. Since this condition is believed to have ahereditary component, ask the breeder about the coat status of your pups relatives or, better yet, ask to see them. Rememberthough, that it is normal for a bitch to shed most of her coat after whelping a litter, so if she looks a bit raggedy, dont panic,this does not mean she has Alopecia X Alopecia X is less common in females, and more often seen in males.Collapsing trachea can occur in dogs bred for small size. The cartilage rings of the trachea are weak and collapse. Thesymptoms are difficulty breathing and honking-type cough. The vet may recommend drugs to relieve symptoms and open theairways, similar to those used for asthma.Hip dysplasia can occur in Pomeranians. Although we in Poms do not normally certify hips, ask if there is a familyhistory of Legg-Calve-Perthes or other hip problems. Hip problems can be painful for the dog and expensive for you, assurgery is often needed.Periodontal disease is very prevalent in Poms. If left untreated, tooth loss may occur. Regular attention to oral hygieneis needed, and periodic scaling by a vet may be helpful as well. Feeding a diet with a fair amount of fresh raw foods may helpreduce tooth plaque formation.Retention of the baby teeth is very common. Your Pom may need to have his baby teeth removed by a veterinarian.Hypoglycemia is a serious condition in which blood sugar becomes dangerously low. Small dogs, and particularlysmall breed puppies, sometimes do not have the reserves needed to maintain blood sugar at a healthy level. Seizures and comacan result. To prevent this from happening, make sure to feed your small dog several meals per day with snacks in between. Itmight be a good idea to leave some food available at all times. If you notice your puppy becoming lethargic or trembling, putsome Karo syrup or Nutrical in his mouth if this helps, observe him closely for several hours and encourage him to eat. Dairyproducts such as cheese and cooked cereals such as rice or oats provide complex carbohydrates which can help stabilize bloodsugar.Regular veterinary health exams are essential to your Poms well-being. Look for a breeder who will be available toanswer your questions and help you with any problems for the life of your dog. Ask about the breeders policy on replacementor refund for a dog who develops a serious hereditary condition. You should receive a written agreement or contract whichaddresses this issue spelling out your rights and responsibilities when you buy your puppy.Please do notify the breeder of any health problems which may occur during your dogs lifetime. This information isimportant for them to have when making future breeding plans.Your Pom will depend on you to take good care of him for life. And, in return, you will enjoy many years filled withgrateful love and devotion.2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 413 PM714 i i i i n4 4472 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW2007 APC NATIONAL SPECIALTY2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 413 PM7244astsfg tIfS^J.1.SR .vV 9Ufc 3SKMre43S3ftSii Blwsaif WM-mmpjPfWiM fd21vat m4i i i i n 4 iini^HAPC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 732007 APC NATIONAL SPECIALTY2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 413 PM73o3S5,IcSI.r.-3165053P6frBiu-Atmmm'oSEmMl25. -^3firSB Vww4-474 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWAnimal SafetyPets and Disaster Be PreparedThe following information has been prepared by the Humane Society of the United States in cooperation with theAmerican Red CrossOur pets enrich our lives in more ways than we can count. In turn, they depend on us for their safety and wellbeing.Heres how you can be prepared to protect your pets when disaster strikes.Be Prepared with a Disaster PlanThe best way to protect your family from the effects of a disaster is to have a disaster plan. If you are a petowner, that plan must include your pets. Being prepared can save their lives.Different disasters require different responses. But whether the disaster is a hurricane or a hazardous spill, youmay have to evacuate your home.In the event of a disaster, if you must evacuate, the most important thing you can do to protect your pets is toevacuate them, too. Leaving pets behind, even if you try to create a safe place for them, is likely to result in theirbeing injured, lost, or worse. So prepare now for the day when you and your pets may have to leave your home.1. Have a Safe Place To Take Your PetsRed Cross disaster shelters cannot accept pets because of states health and safety regulations and other considerations.Service animals who assist people with disabilities are the only animals allowed in Red Cross shelters. Itmay be difficult, if not impossible, to find shelter for your animals in the midst of a disaster, so plan ahead. Donot wait until disaster strikes to do your research. Contact hotels and motels outside your immediate area to check policies on accepting pets and restrictions on number, size,and species. Ask if no pet policies could be waived in an emergency. Keep a list of pet friendly places, including phonenumbers, with other disaster information and supplies. If you have notice of an impending disaster, call ahead for reservations. Askfriends, relatives, or others outside the affected area whether they could shelter your animals. If you have more than onepet, they may be more comfortable if kept together, but be prepared to house them separately. Prepare a list of boarding facilities and veterinarians who could shelter animals in an emergency include 24-hour phonenumbers. Ask local animal shelters if they provide emergency shelter or foster care for pets in a disaster. Animal shelters may beoverburdened caring for the animals they already have as well as those displaced by a disaster, so this should be your lastresort.2. Assemble a Portable Pet Disaster Supplies Kit Whether you are away from home for a day or a week,youll need essential supplies. Keep items in an accessible place and store them in sturdy containers that can becarried easily duffle bags, covered trash containers, etc.. Your pet disaster supplies kit should include Medications and medical records stored in a waterproof container and a first aid kit. Sturdy leashes, harnesses, andor carriers to transport pets safely and ensure that your animals cant escape. Current photos of your pets in case they get lost. Food, potable water, bowls, cat litterpan, and can opener. Information on feeding schedules, medical conditions, behavior problems, and the name and number of your veterinarian incase you have to foster or board your pets. Pet beds and toys, if easily transportable.DISASTER PLAN - BE PREPARED2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 413 PM744 i i i i n4 44APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 753. Know What To Do As a Disaster Approaches Often, warnings are issued hours, even days, in advance. At the first hint of disaster, act to protect your pet. Call ahead to confirm emergency shelter arrangements for you and your pets. Check to be sure your pet disaster supplies are ready to take at a moments notice. Bring all pets into the house so that you wont have to search for them if you have to leave in a hurry. Make sure all dogs and cats are wearing collars and securely fastened, up-to-date identification. Attach the phone numberand address of your temporary shelter, if you know it, or of a friend or relative outside the disaster area. You can buytemporary tags or put adhesive tape on the back of your pets ID tag, adding information with an indelible pen.You may not be home when the evacuation order comes. Find out if a trusted neighbor would be willing to takeyour pets and meet you at a prearranged location. This person should be comfortable with your pets, knowwhere your animals are likely to be, know where your pet disaster supplies kit is kept, and have a key to yourhome. If you use a petsitting service, they may be available to help, but discuss the possibility well in advance.Planning and preparation will enable you to evacuate with your pets quickly and safely. But bear in mind thatanimals react differently under stress. Outside your home and in the car, keep dogs securely leashed. Transportcats in carriers. Dont leave animals unattended anywhere they can run off. The most trustworthy pets may panic,hide, try to escape, or even bite or scratch. And, when you return home, give your pets time to settle back intotheir routines. Consult your veterinarian if any behavior problems persist.Caring for Birds in an EmergencyBirds should be transported in a secure travel cage or carrier. In cold weather, wrap a blanket over the carrierand warm up the car before placing birds inside. During warm weather, carry a plant mister to mist the birdsfeathers periodically. Do not put water inside the carrier during transport. Provide a few slices of fresh fruits andvegetables with high water content. Have a photo for identification and leg bands. If the carrier does not have aperch, line it with paper towels and change them frequently. Try to keep the carrier in a quiet area. Do not let thebirds out of the cage or carrier.About Other PetsReptilesSnakes can be transported in a pillowcase but they must be transferred to more secure housing when they reachthe evacuation site. If your snakes require frequent feedings, carry food with you. Take a water bowl largeenough for soaking as well as a heating pad. When transporting house lizards, follow the same directions as forbirds.Pocket PetsSmall mammals hamsters, gerbils, etc. should be transported in secure carriers suitable for maintaining theanimals while sheltered. Take bedding materials, food bowls, and water bottles.A Final WordIf you must evacuate, do not leave your animals behind. Evacuate them to a prearranged safe location if theycannot stay with your during the evacuation period. remember, pets are not allowed in Red Cross shelters.

I am grateful to you and encourage you to continue with your good work.Things are not as bleak as they may have appeared at first glance.In an earlier column, I mentioned the chagrin and upheaval that has been aboundingin the judging community as a result of recent American Kennel Club pronouncements. The prevailingattitude of the fancy has been, as long as it doesnt touch me. Now it has reached farther afield and ischallenging the Parent Clubs. It now appears that All-Breed and Regional Clubs are going to have to get withthe program or face unpleasant consequences.We are all in this together. Judges depend on the breeders and exhibitors to educate them about the breeds. Fanciersdepend on judges to be knowledgeable and fair in evaluating the exhibits dogs that are entered at a givenshow. The clubs depend on judges and exhibitors to support the shows. We all depend on AKC to be wise andprudent. Since we are all in this together, lets add some sweetness.About a year after Charlotte Creed passed the banner of the Judges Education Chairpersons position to me, Ibegan to plot.Lemon 1How could we be sure we had people breeders and exhibitors at shows all over the USA who could talk withaspiring and approved judges about our breed How could we have knowledgeable mentors willing to presentseminars How could I be sure they knew the StandardLemon 2Knowledge of the Standard was crucial. When asked a question by those seeking information, APC mentorsshould have the answer on the tip of the tongue and should quote the Standard verbatim. In this way, our knowledgewould be better than the judges.Having mentors who understand the vital importance of being fair in evaluating all the exhibits at a show could benext to impossible.I love my breed but I love my own dogs even more.Lemon 3Timing. The need was apparent but the Board and Show Chairman had to give us a time slot. We were allowed tohave an hour at the Nationals. It was a lot to ask. So much is always happening. Time was precious. Even so, itcould only be held every other year.Lemon 4In 2006, AKC notified all parent clubs that changes were on the horizon. We had less than a year to prepare.Now the year has gone by. AKC has just this day informed us that they must have a list of approved mentors intheir hands by June 4, 20072007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 414 PM76i i i i nAPC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 77The lemon is a very tart fruit We can add some sweetness.Sweetener 1We have been working on this for several years and we can have confidence in the people who have beenpreparing for some time. Many have attended every mentor seminar that has been held at the Nationals duringthe past five years. They have also attended the Judges Breed Study Groups and brought dogs for HandsOn examination.Sweetener 2Many have taken the written test on the standard, and then participated in a discussion of the 20 questions onthe exam. The tests were not open book. The mentors passed the tests.Sweetener 3In 2003 the CD with 79 slides on the Pomeranian standard was completed. Over 300 copies have beendistributed to those who want to learn.Sweetener 4AKC only requires that a mentor have 12 years as a breeder exhibitor. There are no other requirements. TheAPC Board of Directors only added five champions and attendance at two APC sanctioned judges seminars.Sweetener 5We are in very good shape. From information that I have, we are advanced beyond what many parent clubshave in position. We WILL rise to the occasionIf you are a member of the American Pomeranian Club, and you are willing to help your breed, please fill outthe Mentor Application on the adjoining page. Send it to me at edwardamartinbellsouth.net or mail it beforeMay 15. I will be compiling the list of approved mentors to send to the American Kennel Club by May 31.Mentors will be kept informed via e-mail. Pomeranian Review articles will announce changes.

We didnt do anything in the group ring, but all those who passed the CGC got to parade inthe ring before they started Best in Show judging. The BIS sign was already out so we stood next tothe BIS sign 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 thatI jumped The evaluator told me Wiggles raised his elbows up about 2 inches off the ground andthen went back into the full down position. His head never left the direction he had last seen me go.The honor dog was an old bloodhounda neat photo opportunity was missed when those two passedeach other. Wiggles has never met a dog he didnt like.If youre interested in learning more about the CGC, go to the AKC website.

He also has his CGC andwe will hopefully have his Therapy Dog Certification thisweekend.For those of you who know me, it has been a dream of minefor the last 20 plus years to attend the Westminster KennelClub dog show at Madison Square Garden. Many a year Ihave sat on the couch with a glass or two of wine cuddled up with a Golden Retriever watching the big event. Iveclapped for my favorites and have been known to do a Tom Cruise couch jumping impersonation when my favoritedog is pulled in the Group. I can honestly say I can get just as crazy as those husbands watching the Super Bowl.Nobody dares interrupt me during the game.Imagine my absolute thrill when I received in the mail an official Notice of Received Entry from thesuperintendent. I had to show it to a couple of people to make sure I was reading it correctly. It wasnt exactlyclear and perhaps Ive spent too many years reading legalese to comprehend the words. When it finally dawned onme, my hands were shaking. Finally After all these years I was not only going to Westminster but I was actuallygoing to compete with my dog I should at this juncture point out it was not with a Golden Retriever but with, ofall dogs, my Pomeranian. I know, its a strange combination but it seems to work. At least they are similar in color.And I suppose if youre going to fly a dog to New York City it is much easier to haul a five pound hairball aroundversus a seventy-five pound Golden.I make plans, fretting over the slightest benign details until the big day arrives. I arrive in New York City onSaturday, as I didnt want any weather delays prohibiting me from attending the show. I want to capture the entiretrip on camera. The Pom has his picture taken with the airline pilot, the bellboy at the hotel, and a NYC policeman.Im your worst nightmare for a tourist. Im snapping pictures of my Pom in every conceivable place in NYC. Itdoesnt help his name is Wiggles I wonder how he got that name. By the way, there is absolutely no grass inNYC. Wiggles is tiny so I improvise. They have unusually large potted plants around the city you guessed it, Iplop Mr. Wiggles in the potted plant with a firm command to go potty. Problem solved.On Sunday afternoon I enter Madison Square Garden for the first time. It is bustling with activity. The greencarpet is rolled out and I have a moment that I still cannot adequately describe. Lets just say I shed a few tears,tears of joy, and the thrill of being a small part of such a grand event overwhelmed me. To some folks it was justanother dog show, but to me it was a dream come true. I didnt care how small my hotel room was, how cold it wasoutside or allowed any of the negative comments I heard previously to dampen my enthusiasm. Call it whateveryou want, my being nave, my hopelessly positive nature, but by golly, I was standing right here at The Garden andthat was all that mattered. Come Monday morning I would be showing my dog as an owner handler prayingnightly that I wouldnt trip in the ring. I didnt need a Best of Breed ribbon, because I had already won I wasstanding on the very ground where so many great dogs and handlers had stood over the years.The Road Less Traveledor How I Survived the Aftermath of Westminsterby Lesley PettengillPermission to reprinted was granted by author.2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 415 PM86 I N I n i i i iAPC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 87Monday arrives and the ring time approaches. This is the moment I have been waiting for. I manage to composemyself and off Wiggles and I go. We show well and Im thankful I didnt trip in the ring. Wiggles somehow capturedthe attention of an Associated Press photographer. She takes his picture and asks for my information. I didnt reallygive it much thought afterwards. A couple of hours later my cell phone is ringing like crazy. Wiggles is the picture ofthe day on so many internet papers that I lost count, including the front page of US News and World Report. It wasamazing and made the trip even more memorable, it that was even possible. I was okay with using up a few minutesof my allotted 15 minutes of fame to a five-pound hairball. I left New York City with memories I will never forgetand if anyone who has never been to Westminster wants my opinion, I say go for it, have a blast and enjoy everysingle moment. This isnt just another dog show by gosh its WESTMINSTERThe show was over and I know how Cinderella must have felt when the clock struck midnight announcing the Ballhad ended. I anticipated a non-descript return flight home the next morning. There was an unexpected twist becausethere always is with stories such as this. The weather turned overnight from just cold to sleet and snow. It didntseem that bad to me, but it was obviously bad enough that all flights were cancelled. My luggage was already on theplane when the announcement was made over the speakers. Youve seen the news where reporters are standingbehind a backdrop of a million passengers waiting for a flight out Yep, that was us - people in lines, show dogs incrates everywhere. No way out, not a single flight was taking off and it wasnt looking good for several days either.Decided the only way out was to drive. I called to check on a fellow club member to inform him of the news. Iassumed his Golden had left with the handler. Nope, hes in a limo with his Golden and crate in route to the airport.My fiance decides we had better upgrade from a Ford Taurus to a Dodge Caravan to accommodate all the extraluggage. I must admit I may have slightly over-packed for the trip to begin with and it didnt help that I had amasseda fairly large quantity of magazines that I wasnt willing to part with.While waiting for my luggage to magically reappear on a revolving conveyor belt, I began chatting with a lady whohas a Belgium Sheepdog with a service dog emblem. Turns out she is from Dallas also. Im not just about to leaveher stranded at the airport so I told her she was welcome to join us on a little road trip as it were. Notice Im leavingactual names out to protect the innocent, except mine of course.So here we are, four people, a Golden Retriever, a Belgium Sheepdog and a Pomeranian with luggage, crates andgrooming tables galore. We are packed to the gills in a Dodge Caravan. Figured if we could just get out of the citywe could drive to another airport and catch a flight back to Dallas. It wasnt meant to be. We called every singleairport along the way and there wasnt an available seat back to Dallas. Weve passed the point of no return so wedecide if we take turns we can drive it straight though. Conversation is lively with each of us exchanging stories.Wiggles hasnt moved from his initial curled-up spot on my lap and hes keeping my lap plenty warm. If there weresome type of AKC event for lap dogs he would surely be a contender. And remember the lady I was chatting withearlier Turns out shes a judge. I suppose if youre going to pick up a total and complete stranger, a dog show judgeis the way to go LOL. Considering the less than optimal circumstances we really had a good time driving down theinterstate.However, what happened during the trip was a wake-up call for all of us. It was very early in the morning and I wassitting in the passenger seat when the driver suddenly falls asleep at the wheel. Turns out my reflexes are still prettyquick and I manage to grab the wheel prior to the vehicle going down a steep embankment at 70 mph. It is only bythe grace of God that it didnt all go terribly wrong. It isnt important who that driver was, because it could havehappened to any one of us, but what is important is that we all are susceptible to sleep deprivation. So know whatyour limits are before you get behind a wheel.We made a couple of stops along the way, but made it back to Dallas in 28 hours. I dont recommend it by the way.We were all exhausted. What did we all do when we got back to our respective homes We all got a good night ofsleep of course, and then drove the five hours to the San Marcus dog shows the next day. Dog show people reallyare insane.2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 415 PM87 I N I n i i i i88 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWI had a great time and look forward to next yearCharlene Marsh, KC PomsIt was just great to see the gorgeous Poms from all over the world, meet wonderful people and have three days of specialmemories to take home.

My only real disappointment was that therejust was not enough time to spend visiting on a more personal level with all the VERY NICE folks.Jan Stachurski, Tabletop Poms, MassachusettsI am from Birmingham, AL and this was my first APC Specialty. As a novice, I was thrilled meeting so many nice peopleand seeing hundreds of beautiful Poms all in one place.Vikki HighfieldI attended my first APC Nationals this year, and I had a wonderful time.

Katie Gammill - Lerna, Illinoisindcrk13011consolidated.netwww.indiancreekshelties.comTO WHAT DO WE OWE OUR SUCCESSThe American Kennel Club devotes people, resources, time and effortinto the education of judges. Going far and above their call of duty,they put their money where their mouth is. After ten years, let usbe frank. Do we have better judges, or simply more judges Havethe constant changes to the judging application procedure broughtabout by different judging organizations improved judges, or has itundermined the true intent of the American Kennel Clubs best effortsto produce top notch judgesFirst, guidelines clearly express requirements needed to allow one theprivilege of applying to be a judge. There is no guarantee oneWILL be approved to judge. There is less guarantee one will becomea desirable judge if they ARE approved. How many yearsexperience does it require to qualify one to pass judgment onanothers dogs If the AKC chooses to reward long time handlerswith entire groups, it should be at their discretion. In the sport ofdogs, experience and expertise vary.New applicants today may receive an entire group on first applicationIF they fulfill requirements. At other times, the AKC grants onebreed for one to insure the new applicant understands hisherapproved breed fully before progressing. By not understanding type,judges have the opportunity to damage many breeds quickly. TheTO WHATDO WE OWEOURSUCCESSAKC reps observation assistsjudges who may be off track.They encourage the judge toarticulate the thought processregarding their selections.There are those who cannot absorbALL breeds in a group at one time.Provisional assignments are alearning process. Referring back tothe standard while in the ring isbetter than ignoring a star due toan answerable question. Mistakesdetermine a judges reputation andcan detour the desired goals. Thedog grapevine quickly reportsineptness and bad judgment. Onemagazine addressed the lament ofpoor quality dogs in the ring. Itstated, What judges may see in aring could well be what they deserveto see from past selections of theirwinners. If a judge puts up faultydogs lacking in type, their nextassignment may be dogs of this typeseeking a win.2007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 416 PM92i i w mw.' JAPC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 93Exhibitors study judges and theirselections. They form opinions as tothe expertise of the judge in specificbreeds. They analyze what judgeswill, or will not, accept. They thenenter such dogs expecting the dogwill be judged on outstandingvirtues rather than shortcomings.What one judge accepts, anothermay find intolerable in hisheropinion.Ask yourself these questions beforeapplying to be a judge. Why do Iwant to judge Will the exhibitorsencouraging me to apply support meas I progress Do I want to judgefor prestige Do I want to fixwhat I consider broken Can Icontribute to the betterment of thesport People quickly identify thosewho judge for personal gain.Judges can only judge whatbreedersexhibitors bring into thering. It is the breedersresponsibility to strive for excellencein breed type. It is the judgesresponsibility to recognize suchexcellence and reward it.As a new judge, someone maychallenge your selections. The AKCwill also hold you responsible, asyour selection determines thebreeds future.Those truly interested in a sport willexcel and stay on top if they seekout the information for themselvesin venues others never think to look.Winners participate in the sport onevery level, every weekend.Winning is grunt work, picking uppoop, driving all night in theelements. It is spending a weekendwith a caustic mentor who, aftertaking valuable time to assist you,finds the knowledge is ignored. It isold books and old people. It is dogs from the past and research for theirintended function. It is sitting ringside through Groups and Best inShow picking the brains of successful people at every opportunity. TheGroup ring allows the comparing of knowledge to other breeds.The first step to success is showing up. Your best friend is enthusiasmand optimism. Success is judging matches for a tank of gas. It is ringstewarding, heartbreak, unfairness, companionship, and friendship. It islearning to lose gracefully and to win with humility. It is all about beinga good sport.Those who choose to pursue judging goals miss weddings, funerals,graduations, family gatherings, births, and may well miss their OWNfuneral. Everyone goes around once, and in that spin, we all have aresponsibility to contribute the best of our best to the endeavors wechoose to be involved. Our sport once was gentlemans judging ofbreeding stock is changing. What is it nowIt is apparent today many young people have not seen the greats ofboth man and beast. They know less regarding the impact various dogsmade on our sport. They cannot appreciate the dedication of thosebefore us. This was drawn to my attention when a visitor asked whatbreed was in our back kennels. Standing nearby were three you pick itChampions merit award winners. When I identified the breed, they werestunned. Their comment You dont see THAT in the ring today. Thisis sad, but true in many breeds. We are perfecting mediocrity. If the pastis not studied, we cannot pull virtues into the present. Where does thisleave us for the futureDog legislation rears its ugly head. This challenge is ominous. AnimalRights Groups, active in legislation, and forcing their beliefs and agendasdown our throats. This affects our owning, showing and breeding ofdogs. Be aware. Become involved. In this way, we can preserve thewonderful sport of dogs. Success is a necessity and is never convenient.Judges Mentor Seminar, Louisville, Kentucky, March 20072007 MAY JUNE Pom Review.p65 4122007, 416 PM93ll rM IA's94 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWAKC DelegateReport Darrell BakerMeeting was rather uneventful, primarily election of new Board Members. Elected ones wereDirectorsPatricia Haines - Cincinnati Kennel ClubKenneth Marden - German Shorthaired Pointer ClubPatti L. Strand - Dog Fanciers Assn. of OregonSeveral issues were voted upon, but none really applying to Specialty Breed Clubs or Parent Clubs.There is discussion going on at the present time on whether to allow mixed-breed dogs in Performance Eventssuch as Agility, Flyball, Obedience, Tracking, Rally, and others. There are obviously two sides to this issue,some saying it would bring in additional people to such events others saying that such events are already prettywell full, without the mixed breeds. Many feel if this happens it would no longer be necessary to even HAVE apurebred dog for AKC activities. This discussion will go on for some time before solid action is taken ... so atthis point it is probably not of great concern to the American Pomeranian Club.This is still NOT yet in effect, but is being discussed and may BECOME a ruling that Specialty Clubs will berequired to host a Match each year, along with their show, feeling that such matches are an excellent way forClubs to attract new people into exhibition of their dogs. More on this later.Meeting this time was in New York City.... next meeting to be in Las Vegas, Nevada in June. September Meetingwill be in Newark, N.J.Regards to everyone.Darrell W.

After finishing many champions from the puppy classes and for clients over the last 15 years, I finally held one back to finish from the BBE class. He started his show career in the late Spring of last year at almost one year of age. He took third in the large BBE class at the 2007 National Specialty and went on to garner a 4 pt major at the Louisville All Breed shows after the Specialty. At his next show, 2 weeks later, at Pittsburg, he took WD and BOW for a 3 pt major to finish his championship from the BBE class. I am so proud of him. Tuffy is available at stud, by private treaty, to approved bitches.CH TIM SUES DIXIE DYNAMIC MILLAMORS DYNAMIC CHIPJOLLY WEE DIXIE OF TIM SUE CH CASCADES DYNAMIC MAGIC MANCH BEV-NORS SPECIAL EDITION CASCADE BEV-NORS BLACK VELVET BEV-NORS SPANKYD EBONY CH LACUEVA'S ONE TOUGH COOKIETERIMARS CLASSIC AMERICAN LEGEND CH REGINAPOMS READY TO RUMBLE CH STARFIRES WONDER WOMAN REGINAPOMS RUMBLE LENADIMONDES FLYNN FIRE CROWN CH DIMONDES FLYNN'S ZIEGFELD GIRL DIMONDES SATIN SEDUCTRESSThis gentle-natured and sweet little orange sable girl just loves and kisses everybody she meets... even the judges win or lose. She has wonderful type and phenomenal movement but sometimes too excited and antsy, making it difficult to show off her good movement because she wanted to just fly around the ring. We spent some time working on that and we just had to live with the little circle she wanted to make at every turn in the ring because we weren't going fast enough for her. Obviously the judges didn't mind because she finished with 3 majors from the BBE class. She has been bred to CH Tuffy above with puppies due May 4.
