MyPoms, for the most part, live in my officedog room. They have a doggy door to a big covered deck with a ramp to go down, thatcan be closed off, to a big fenced in play yard. I also have a small kennel that is indooroutdoor and enclosed with fencing onthe outside, to keep critters out. The kennel stores dog gear and has a sink for grooming. My dogs join us for TV, when we gethome. I only have throw rugs in our TV room, so it is easy to keep clean. The laundry room also serves as a whelping roomPomeranianReviewKennelVisitKnockKnockWhosThereJan El PomsAnd her friends at Valcopy PomeraniansHome of Batman and Spiderman and many other Pom charactersWritten by Janell ReichJan El Pomsas it is very warm and close to the dog room. I can sleep on thecouch in the TV room, if needed near the Pommy mommy inwaiting.My first Pom was an orange rescue Pom named Foxy,who went to work everyday with my late husband Frank Reich.When retired he would have to drive around the circle drive tomake Foxy think he was going to work and then they would goin the workshop to work for the day.Around 1987, Frank and I joined the Puget SoundPomeranian Club, in Seattle Washington to learn about showingand breeding quality Pomeranians. After a year of searching,Dana Plonkey sold us a quality female Pom pup on a coownership. Dana and Randy Gemmill became our mentorsfor training and grooming.

She was a veryspunky orange-sable Pom and freewhelpedfour puppies each time. She wasour foundation bitch and mostly GreatElms breeding. I bred Heidi to a PrinceCharming son and got Ch Jan Els Dukeof Earl, who was an American, Canadianand International Champion andCanadian group winner. He was my firsthome bred and Bred by ExhibitorChampion.I bred a few litters and showedand finished some of the girls. Then Danaand I co-owned several bitches he hadbred and helped me finish them. A chancein a lifetime came when Dana asked if Iwanted to take home a black Pom puppy.He was out of Valentino and a daughterof Japanese Ch. Hadleigh Superman, atop winning Japanese Pom. Hideko hadtaken the dam to Japan to be bred to Ch.Hadleigh Superman. I was to train andshow Valcopy Wakhan Batman on a coownership. I was thrilled He was verytiny, had great movement and a showypersonality. Dana helped me show him,when I could not, but I was elated when Ifinished him the weekend of our specialtyat a large all breed show over specials.Dana showed Batman as aspecial and he won two Best in ShowsAll Breed and quite a few Best InSpecialties. Hideko Strausbaugh askedto take him to campaign for two years. Itwas like watching poetry in motion, asthey danced around the ring She madehim Top winning 1 Pom in 1999 and 3Pom the following year. He won two ToySpecialties in New York before attendingThe Westminster Kennel Club Shows,those two years. Batman is the thirdgeneration of black Pom Multiple Bestin Show Pomeranians. His father, CHValcopy Wakhan Valentino owned byDana Plonkey and Randy Gemmill andhis grandfather Ch. Finchs Walks onWater owned by Diane Finch, weremultiple Best in Show black Poms. Theyall have excellent movement and coat.Batman is home with me and still likesto go to the shows, when I can take himalong. He is also happy to be a stud dog,couch potato and run around our Pomyard. Batman has produced some nicedogs and bitches for Dana and I, bothorange and black, with his goodmovement, full coat, good bite and goodstructure.I showed and finished hisdaughter Ch. Jan Els Batgirl, who placedin the Top 10 Poms. She was a Best inSpecialty winner. Dana showed her as aspecial and did well in group with her.She was a real character with lots ofspunk, who showed better for Dana.Batgirl was out of a daughter ofValentino, Ch. Valcopy WakhanCamielle. She was clear orange andfinished before she was bred. I bought adaughter out of Red Riding hood andValentino from Dana. She was a niceorange-sable and Best in Specialtywinner, named Valcopy WakhanAnastasia.My first husband Frank passedaway in October of 1998. He wasTreasurer for Puget Sound Pom Club formany years. I was President, newslettereditor and show chairperson many times.I kept showing and training my dogs afterhe was gone, but it just wasnt the same.He was the Dog Father that stayed homewith the Poms, while I was away teachingart in the public school during the day.I met Jack McClincy in 1999 andI joined his bicycle club. We bought atandem bike. We love to bike, but I havenot convinced him that the Poms shouldbe in tow to go along. He loves the Poms,and helps me with them, but he thinksthe shows are a lot of work for twominutes in the ring. He likes to bicycle tothe dog shows to watch me. Jack has beena hobby winemaker for 25 years. He putout a wine called Hair of the Dog Merlotwith his favorite Pom Valcopy AllieMcBeal on the label.Janell and Jack McClincyHideko Strausaugh and Batman Randy Gemmill handling Anastasia2007 SEPT OCT Pom Review.p65 8112007, 104 PM10I I I I I i i i in4ynriisttmmmLMlvr, "s7,.4,-j.1]4 4.n^vlifrim4tST.jfeas. 3J 1f Jr \ 4Eft vStellar Jays WinerygiGROUPSECONDr 'vot'te'LOS ENCINOS KENNEL CLUB 2004i- 5 yPontin del Roza contains sulfites4SEPTOCT 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 11By 2003 and I was not showingany Poms. I saw my friend Dana at adog show and he gave me ValcopyCrystalton Chrisma, Kristi, aCanadianAmerican orange bitch grandsired by Batman on the dams side andgrand sired by Chriscendo Classico onthe sires side. We decided to breed herand then I could show her later. I bredBatman to her and she producedSpiderman, Flash and Robin. All threeJanell, Spiderman, Flash and Robinboys are very nice show Poms. We keptSpiderman and sold Robin to NaimiGuenther whose black bitch just won aNaimi Guenther and RobinBest in Show and sold Flash to our showfriend Jeff Kuenz. Flash is finished andRobin is almost finished. I whelped andtrained Spider and Dana showed him.Spiderman was 8 Pom in 2006. WhenSpider was in Washington Dana showedhim and won many Best in Specialtieswith him. His helpers Kim and Rick werehis Pom mom and dad at the shows. Theybathed, helped groom him and take careof him.This year Spiderman is 5 sofar this year thanks to Tish Cannon hisPom Mom and handler now. We feel ittakes a TEAM for us to properlycampaign the exemplary specials dogs.So our TEAM SPIDERMAN consists ofco-owners Janice Pardue, Dana Plonkeyand myself, Pom Mom and Handler TishCannon and helpers Orval Cannon andDottie Bunnigan. Tish and Dottie tookSpider to the APC Specialty in Kentuckyand won an Award of Merit as well asshowed in the wonderful Top Twentyevent.Dana Plonkey and SpiderTish Cannon and SpiderSince I have a small breedingprogram of Spiderman, Batman and mybrood bitch Bonfires Trixie at Rise NShine, I count on my Pom friends andpartners at Valcopy Pomeranians to helpme with breeding. Dana Plonkey, JudyParis and I work well together. Valcopyhas Valentino Poms, Hadleigh and JanShar in their lines.Judy Paris and FlyIn closing I thought I wouldshare some of the things that I havelearned in the almost 20 years in Poms.I still want to learn more and still considermyself a novice at times.As Puget Sound Pom Clubpresident I went to as many APCspecialties as I could and later we hostedat least two APC specialties inWashington. I was able to meet some ofthe older breeders. Edna Giradot told me,if you see a really nice Pom that everyonewants to breed to, you should go backand breed to his father, because that iswhat produced him.Dana Plonkey taught me to onlybreed when I have a purpose, not justbecause that bitch is in heat. He hashelped me be very careful about mybreeding program.I also have started using thefrozen sperm bank to collect sperm frommy outstanding studs. I want to insurethat my breeding program goes on in casesomething happens to one of my dogs orthey just get old. Im glad to say Batmanis still going strongI helped with rescue Poms forawhile and I really admire what the PugetSound Pom people are doing with theirrescue programs. It makes me realize thatwe need to breed less as there are so manyunwanted dogs that are put down everyyear. I have spayed all but one of mygirls.2007 SEPT OCT Pom Review.p65 8102007, 553 PM11I I I I I i i i in4"VRRIw4ui NR1 VhiInrSteven Ross SPRING - 2006 i,___4 4,-f. , 1 Lin , f,1f^ ivyAWARD OF MERIT^rJt.NATIONALSPECIALTY I-THOMAS PHOTOGRAPHYh i',412 - SEPTOCT 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWI became a real believer in themicrochips when a local vet called to tellme they had a Pom of mine that someonebrought into the vet. I had given one ofour bus drivers an older Pom and it hadgot away from her in a city near her.Someone had found it but had notreported it. I was glad to know that shehad been found.Also, I insist that my pet ownersget their Poms neutered and have a fencedin yard. One of the things I was told whenI started buying and selling Poms was toget everything in writing. I tell people toget a contract when they buy a Pom sothey can take it to their vet to have itchecked outTwo women I really admire inthe Pom world today are Julie Clemenand Celeste Solano. They are reallycareful about having their Poms vethealth certified. They have their eyes,stifles and I think hips certified. Theyare really quality breeders. I wish theywould write an article about it for oureducation section.I truly love the Poms, thecompanionship of my friends in the clubsand the sport of showing.

Is there anything we can doBeing a pet owner is never easy. While pets bring us joy and companionship on a daily basis, they also requiretraining, veterinary care, time, love, attention, and even tolerance. Tolerance is especially necessary when a petowner is allergic to his or her companion animal.Studies show that approximately 15 percent of the population is allergic to dogs or cats. An estimated one-thirdof Americans who are allergic to cats about two million people live with at least one cat in their householdanyway. In a study of 341 adults who were allergic to cats or dogs and had been advised by their physicians togive up their pets, only one out of five did. Whats more, 122 of them obtained another pet after a previous onehad died. Its clear the benefits of pet companionship outweigh the drawbacks of pet allergies for many owners.Living comfortably with a companion animal despite being allergic to him requires a good understanding of theallergic condition and an adherence to a few rules.All cats and dogs are allergenic allergy-causing to people who are allergic to animals. Cats tend to be moreallergenic than dogs for allergic people, although some people are more sensitive to dogs than cats. Contrary topopular belief, there are no non-allergenic breeds of dogs or cats even hairless breeds may be highly allergenic.Dogs with soft, constantly-growing hair - the Poodle or the Bichon Frise, for example - may be less irritating tosome individuals, although this may be because they are bathed and groomed more frequently. One dog or cat ofa particular breed may be more irritating to an individual allergy sufferer than another animal of that same breed.The source of irritation to pet-allergic humans Glands in the animals skin secrete tiny allergy-triggeringproteins, called allergens, that linger in the animals fur but also float easily in the air. Allergens are present in theanimals saliva and urine, too, and may become airborne when saliva dries on the fur. The severity of reaction tothese allergens varies from one person to the next, ranging from mild sniffling and sneezing to life-threateningasthma, and can be complicated by simultaneous allergies to other irritants in the environment.If your or a family members allergies are simply miserable, but not life-threatening, take these steps to reducethe symptoms Create an allergy free zone in the home - preferably the bedroom - and strictly prohibit the petsaccess to it. Use a high-efficiency HEPA air cleaner available at almost any home and garden store or discountdepartment store in the bedroom. Consider using impermeable covers for the mattress and pillows becauseallergen particles brought into the room on clothes and other objects can accumulate in them.2007 SEPT OCT Pom Review.p65 8102007, 602 PM26I I I I I i i m i n4- imVrr.T im- - 4.-.ri 3Lil. 1IriL4 44SEPTOCT 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 27g Use HEPA air cleaners throughout the rest of the home, and avoid dust-and-dander-catchingfurnishings such as cloth curtains and blinds and carpeted floors. Clean frequently and thoroughly to remove dustand dander, washing articles such as couch covers and pillows, curtains, and pet beds. Use a microfilter bag inthe vacuum cleaner to effectively catch all the allergens. Bathing your pet on a weekly basis can reduce the level of allergens on fur by as much as 84 percent.Although products are available that claim to reduce pet allergens when sprayed on the animals fur, studies showthey are less effective than a weekly bath. Even cats can become accustomed to being bathed check with yourveterinarians staff or a good book on pet care for directions about how to do this properly, and use whatevershampoo your veterinarian recommends.Dont be quick to blame the family pet for allergies. Ask your allergist to specifically test for allergies topet dander, rather than making an assumption. And understand that allergies are cumulative. Many allergysufferers are sensitive to more than one allergen. So if youre allergic to dust, insecticides, pollen, cigarettesmoke, and cat dander, youll need to reduce the overall allergen level in your environment by concentrating onall of the causes, not just the pet allergy. For example, you may need to step up measures to remove cat danderfrom your home and carefully avoid cigarette smoke during spring, when it is difficult to avoid exposure topollen. Immunotherapy allergy shots can improve symptoms but cannot eliminate them entirely. They workby gradually desensitizing a persons immune system to the pet allergens. Allergy-causing proteins are injectedunder the persons skin, triggering the body to produce antibodies protective proteins which block the petallergen from causing a reaction. Patients are usually given one dose per week for a few weeks to monthsdepending on the severity of the allergy and then can often manage with one injection per month.Additional treatments for allergies to pets are symptomatic, including steroidal and antihistamine nosesprays and antihistamine pills. For asthma, there are multiple medications, sprays, and inhalers available. It isimportant to find an allergist who understands your commitment to living with your pet. A combination ofapproaches - medical control of symptoms, good housecleaning methods, and immunotherapy - is most likely tosucceed in allowing an allergic person to live with pets.Of course, if you do not currently have a pet and are considering one, and know you are pet-allergic, be sure toconsider carefully whether you can live with the allergy before you bring a new pet home. Except in the case ofchildren, who sometimes outgrow allergies, few allergy sufferers become accustomed to pets to whom they areallergic. Too many allergic owners obtain pets without thinking through the difficulties of living with them. Andtoo often, they end up relinquishing pets, a decision that is difficult for the owner and can be life-threatening forthe pet.Source re-printed with permission httpwww.hsus.orgpetspet_careallergies_to_petsYour Allergies Your PetOrder a free brochure copy by sending a SASE toThe HSUS, Allergy Brochure PR2100 L Street, NWWashington, DC 20037Our next question is I want to buy a Pom puppy from a breeder across the country but I am worried about theshipping.

I live in the town of Midland, Michigan, whichis about two hours north of Detroit, with my mom, dad, and two younger brothers. I began showing dogs in 4-H two yearsago, but I did not show dogs in AKC until a year ago. Here is how I became hooked on the wonderful sport of dogs.Our family received its first dog, a seven-year-old Golden Retriever, around 2 years ago and I was invited by myneighbor to do 4-H dog showmanship with her. One day, my neighbor and I were riding our bikes up anddown the road when we saw a person sitting in her driveway playing with a Pom puppy. Myneighbor persuaded me to stop in and say hello to the puppy and of course our neighbor.She introduced herself as Becky Sabourin, of Wyndlor Poms, and let us play with thepuppy while we told her about our dogs and 4-H. Becky told us about her dogs, and offeredus help in handling our dogs and teaching us about dog shows.After that, both my neighbor and I went down to the kennel once a week, learningabout the dogs, eating up all the information we could get. After a while, just I wasgoing to the kennel learning about showing the Poms. My mom and I alsoobserved at many dog shows where Becky was showing, and sheintroduced me to many wonderful people, including Nina Fetter.Nina has taught many things as well, and I always learn somethingnew every time I watch her show. After a few months, I bought anAustralian Shepherd puppy named Alice, and startedshowing her in AKC shows. We quickly moved out of thenovice class in juniors, and started showing in the openclass. This whole time, I was still with the Poms each week.Then, I got the chance to show one of the Poms in breedclass. I was hooked on showing the Poms I continuedshowing Alice, even putting points on her, including aBOB from the puppy class, but I started focusing more on thePoms.A few months later, I received co-ownership onWyndlor Tisha Darla Doright, Darla and we started showing injuniors together. Our first weekend out, Darla and I took BestJunior at a Toy specialty, then Best Junior at the AllBreed show the next day. Since then, we havewon many classes, with one of ourhighlights being November of 2006where we won three open classesin two weekends.

We went to many shows, including thisyears National, where we won our juniors class. Itwas my first time to the National Specialty, and I hada blast. I met many people, and gained muchexperience. Nevertheless, Darla is back again, andDionne is enjoying her time at home.Currently, the Poms are all I show in juniors,but I have handled many other breeds, includingHavenese, Shar-peis, Aussies, and Collies, in thebreed ring. None of the Poms live at my house, but Iam responsible for keeping all my dogs in showcondition. Since my mom home schools me, I have aflexible schedule, which allows me to ride my bike tothe kennel once a week, if not more, to help withkennel work, bathe, trim, and train the Poms. I havegained so much experience working with Becky andthe dogs.I would like to thank my parents for yourcontinual support of the dog shows, for taking timeout of your schedule to drive and cheer me on, aswell as my brothers, for their encouragement andpatience as I miss many of their sports for my shows.I would also like Fred and Pat Dieball, co-breeders ofDarla, for their generosity in allowing me to co-ownDarla, as well as their helpful hints in the juniorsring. Thanks as well to Brenda Segelken, for askingme to write this article. I am truly honoredHowever, my biggest thanks needs to go toBecky Sabourin. Becky, thank you so much for allyou have taught me as well as your ongoing supportof me in the juniors ring. Your generosity in givingme four wonderful Poms, as well as driving me tocountless shows, has allowed me to live my wildestdreams in showing dogs.

I doubt that the compliance rate from clubs andorindividuals is stellar.While parent clubs have been occupied with what defines a mentor - judges,breeders and the fancy have continued as usual. We all have agendas andtimetables.It might be good to start with definitions. For that I am seeking advice from Mr. Webster, whose New Worlddictionary is approved by the Library of Congress. That should be a stellar place to start.MENTOR n. a wise, loyal advisor.TUTOR n. a private teacher adj. teachTo separate the two would seem to be splitting hairs. However, A.K.C. does put them in separate sections on ajudges application to judge new or additional breeds. The only difference I have found is where the applicant liststhe wise teacher. A.K.C. does require that the Mentor must do the advising at ringside and sign a form thatstates that the mentor has 12 years of experience in the breed. There are a few other requirements that relate to thedogs being observed but not to the knowledge of the wise advisor.On the other hand, the tutor is not required to prove any degree of experience. This is a good thing since mosttutors are breeders who reside in the applicants home town or state and while they may be people who have manyyears of experience, their dogs are shown by handlers and they seldom are found at dog shows themselves. Hence,their knowledge and experience are not available to new judges at shows. They also probably spend a great deal ofunrequited time tutoring the new fancier who would like to own a real show dog. Prospective judges need thesehometown breeders to demonstrate the different stages in puppies as they grow toward adulthood. Also, there is theaspect of proper grooming and health considerations. This vast storehouse of knowledge and experience shouldnever be obstructed.Now for those of you out there who have not had the required 12 years of experience to be considered a mentor,remember that your service as a tutor is valuable and should be available to those who need the benefit of yourexperience. Either position, mentor or tutor, is an important part of what you can give back to the breed in whichyou have invested your time, effort and devotion.Remember, it isnt you or me or A.K.C. that is important it is those adorable, independent, inquisitive 4 lb. dogsthat matter. Hang in there and serve where you are planted.The Pomeranian is our passion - always has been. As your Judges Education Coordinator, I thank you for yourinterest and encourage you to be available when the call comes.Dot2007 SEPT OCT Pom Review.p65 8102007, 602 PM30I I I I I i i i in4 PRHn4f,ft4 44SEPTOCT 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 31The Pomeranian is a Square within a Circle.This statement is NOT in the current Standard.Indeed, it has not ever been in any of the past standards going back to 1916.Anyone seeking to learn about the Pomeranian from breeders, exhibitors andor judges may find themselves scratching theirheads and asking Say What when they hear this description used.The mental picture has been around for a long time. It is a way of understanding what is described in the standard inthe sections on 1. Size, Proportion Substance 2. Neck, Top line Body 3. Forequarters 4. Hindquarters 5. Coat.1. The distance from the point of shoulder to the point of buttocks is slightly shorter than from the highest pointof the withers to the ground. The distance from the brisket to the ground is half the height at the withers.2. The neck is short with its base set well into the shoulders to allow the head to be carried high. The back is shortwith a level top line. The plumed tail lies flat and straight on the back.3. The Pomeranian has sufficient layback of shoulders to carry the neck and head proud and high.4. The buttocks are well behind the set of the tail.5. The coat is abundant from the neck and fore part of the shoulders and chest, forming a frill, which extendsover the shoulders and chest. The tail is profusely covered with long, harsh, spreading straight hair.Since a judge has a short amount of time to evaluate each dog before making a final selection for winners and thepoints at a given show, an accurate summary of these statements can be very helpful.When a class enters the ring and is lined up for a first impression, the 5 statements above can be evaluated even beforethe mandatory hands-on table exam.Keep in mind the square within the circle. The square is formed by the body. The circle is formed by the coat.Artful trimming and sculpting can be deceiving. However, certain components will be obvious to the naked eye.Check the tail set first. It should be set high with the body seeming to extend beyond the tail. The abundant pantsskirt portionof the coat, starts behind the tail and curves outward to the ground but ends just above the feet. The profusely covered long,harsh, plumed spreading straight hair of the tail covers the back rather like a fan and reaches to the ruff around the neck.There may be some trimming to remove stray hairs at the very base of the tail to give a neater appearance. The circle formedby the pants, tail and ruff creates the top and rear of the arc.If the Pomeranian has sufficient layback of shoulders its head will be carried high and will appear to touch itsback, as it is baited and attentive to the handler. The short back will disappear. When gaiting, the head will still be carriedhigh to give the cocky attitude that that states, I am king in this ring.The remainder of the circle is created by the sweep over the head and begins the front arc as the ruff billows outwardbeneath the under jaw and curves down toward the front legs where the feathering fills under the body to complete the circle.The table examination will determine if the body under the coat is square when measured from the point of shoulder tothe point of buttocks and from the highest point of the withers to the ground. Lift the tail to feel for the level top line.I hope this will assist in understanding what breeders, mentors and judges are thinking when they discuss The SquareWithin The Circle.Address questions to dfm1225bellsouth.net.The Pomeranian Standard CD is available to judges upon request or may be purchased online at americanpomeranianclub.org.Say WhatSay WhatSay WhatSay WhatSay WhatBy Dot Martin, JEC2007 SEPT OCT Pom Review.p65 8102007, 602 PM31I I I I I i i i in44 4k . t j4fjvK Y4- .-432 - SEPTOCT 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWWhat a pleasant surprise Attending AKCEukanuba Parent ClubConference, held in Peach Tree, Georgia, was an absolutepleasure The Peach Tree Hotel and Conference Center is nestledin a beautiful wooded setting about 30 minutes south of Atlanta.David Gilstrap and myself represented the APC.

Its a proverb usedto characterize situations and places wherein there dwell hiddenheroes and legends - and where nothing is as it seems whereeveryone conceals their strengths from the others to preservethe element of surprise about people concealing their realidentities - for instance, vulnerability in a strong man,assertiveness in a meek woman - and all the characters havehidden selves or suppressed desires. It also speaks to the factthat deep within everyone is a powerful beast, struggling toget out.Animal rights groups operate under the guise ofbeing benevolent organizations, who have only the bestinterests of animals at heart. Recent confrontations betweenAnimal Rights groups versus animal owners serve toillustrate the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon proverb.Legislation has been proposed in many areas of the U.S.A., andindeed the entire western world, which severely restricts the rights of owners tokeep, care for and breed their pets as they see fit. After many years of propaganda by variousanimal rights groups such as PETA and the Humane Society of the U.S., we are seeing a shift insocietal attitudes. Breeders are now generally looked upon with disdain, and referred to as puppy millssometimes even by members of the dog breeding community Some ordinances now refer to pet owners as guardians asubtle method of removing the control that ownership implies. Pet overpopulation is generally accepted as gospel fact,despite shortages of adoptable animals in many areas of the country. European nations are considering suggestions byanimal rights groups that certain exaggerated physical features such as short noses and bowed legs should be outlawed.Restrictions on cosmetic procedures such as tail docking and ear cropping have already been instituted in several countries.Dogs are targeted for death in shelters just based on the breed they are presumed to be and are usually IDed by someonewho doesnt know a Corgi from a Wolfhound.A law has been in place for over a year in Los Angeles County, requiring that breeders belong to clubs with strictlyenforced codes of ethics. Contracts forcing owners to neuter their pets are now regarded as responsible. The use oflimited registrations is widely accepted as desirable. These subtle changes in societal attitudes toward breeding dogs havebeen due in large part to the relentless propaganda of the various animal rights groups such as PETA, HSUS and AmericanHumane Association. It seems the goal is to eliminate as many dogs as possible from the breeding populations. Bit by bit,Crouching TigerHiddenHiddenHiddenHiddenHiddenDragonDragonDragonDragonDragonlittle by little, slowly but surely, these Animal Rights groupsare achieving their goal of preventing the breeding ofdomestic animals including pets. Population genetics studieshave shown that narrowing of gene pools is generallyunhealthy, and may even contribute to the extinction ofindividual breeds. So why have we dog breeders and animallovers bought into this mindset so easily Why do we thinkthat limiting breeding is so desirable Are we so easily led,that we can no longer think for ourselvesThe animal rights groups present themselves as the ultimate, selflessadvocates for all animals. However, when you consider that their stated agendais the end of any purposeful breeding of animals, the Crouching Tiger doesnot appear so benevolent. Rather than being groups for animals, these groupsare actually against mankind and the human-animal bond. Their view on petownership is that it is overt oppression of animals.

This money does not go to assist animals in shelters, but to further their political agenda. They wouldlike to eliminate the joyful bond mankind has with animals a bond which has existed since the dawn of time.An easy first strike target in the Animal Rights war on animal ownership is pets because pets are usually held innearly as high esteem as any other member of the family. Gain a toehold in legislating anti-pet breeding laws, and set aprecedent. Then, expand legislation to ban owning-breeding-farming-hunting of ANY animals. No pets. Then, no hunting,farming, fishing, eating meat, wearing leather well, you get the picture. Just visit the PETA website if you have anylingering doubts about their agenda.Here in California, we have become used to oppressive limit laws, license fees double or triple for an intact animal,and restrictive breeding permits. Obtaining a hobby breeder license is nearly impossible assuming one could afford thered tape and the fees. Just last May our own Los Angeles County enacted a mandatory spayneuter and microchipordinance. Representatives from the City of Angels Pomeranian Club spoke against the MSN ordinance at the hearinghowever, the lobbying by animal rights groups was intense. Even Cesar Millan spoke out to say that he favored mandatedneutering, as he felt neutering reduces aggression. Unfortunately, this expert and others like him has absolutely noformal education in animal training andor behavior.We barely had time to recover from the LA County assault when we heard that a new bill was being proposed. AB1634 would have required that all dogs and cats in the state be neutered by age six months, unless the owner qualified,applied and paid for a special intact permit. Commercial breeders would be exempt. This bill was authored by Van Nuysassemblyman Lloyd Levine. Previous accomplishments of Levine include trying to ban the light bulb, and mandating thatsupermarkets provide bins for plastic bag recycling. 1634 was also sponsored by Judie Mancuso and her group SocialCompassion not surprisingly, a PETA-affiliated group, with PETA activist Jane Garrison on the board of directors,along with Mancuso. Mancuso served as the Campaign Director for 1634 a euphemism for chief lobbyist andpropaganda maven. Mancuso put up a slick website touting the bill, even including a sheriff badge emblem to lendcredibility to her website. She later formulated several other websites that mocked and criticized the groups who worked tooppose the bill, such as Save Our Dogs and PetPAC.This bill was based on several false premises, which are briefly outlined here That current policies and programs are not working. The numbers of dogs entering and being euthanized inCalifornia shelters has dramatically decreased over the last 30 years, despite a doubling of the human population in theregion. There is less than one dog euthanized per 300 residents per year... and how many of these are truly adoptable Theestimate is maybe half that number. Lack of reliable shelter statistics make it difficult to get a clear picture. However, thestats are generally overblown, including aged, ill, injured, vicious, and even wildlife That cat and dog shelter concerns are similar. Cats are rarely licensed and often un-owned. Cats comprise the bulk ofthe euthanasia numbers. The only proven method to control cat populations is funding of Trap-neuter-return programs. AB1634 does nothing to reduce the numbers of cats in shelters. That the numbers of animals impounded and euthanized is due to a Pet Overpopulation Problem. The study doneby the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy found that the top five reasons for animal relinquishment weremoving, landlord issues, cost, lack of time for pet and inadequate facilities. None of these factors are influenced by thepurported overpopulation of pets and AB 1634 does nothing to help pets remain in their homes. If the animals in theshelter were due to overpopulation, we would find desirable puppies available in shelters, there would be no market forinternet and pet store puppies, there would be no need for shelters to import puppies and puppy smugglers and brokerswould be out of business due to market saturation. There is, in fact, a shortage of healthy, well-bred and socialized puppiesand kittens in California. That being sexually intact equates to being bred. We know that for personal reasons many owners choose not tosurgically alter their pets and they are never bred. It is improper that the government imposes its will on these responsiblecitizens in the absence of any public benefit. That neutered animals are healthier physically and behaviorally. Recently published data indicates that for asignificant percentage of dogs this is not the case. There are significant long-term detrimental health effects on dogs fromprepubertal neutering. Promoted under the guise of Healthy pets, this bill does nothing beneficial for any pets health That mandatory spayneuter will significantly reduce shelter impounds and euthanasia. MSN is a documented failurein every area of the U.S. where it has been implemented. That mandatory spayneuter will greatly reduce the Animal Control costs. Analysis of animal control data indicatesthat most costs are the fixed costs of facilities, administration, equipment, staff and retirement benefits. The continuous risein California animal control costs in the face of decreasing numbers of animals impounded refutes this assumption. That the law will not involve veterinarians in enforcement. The requirement for veterinarians to write letters ofexemption and to turn in rabies certificates indicating the reproductive status of the animal-to-animal control identifies the2007 SEPT OCT Pom Review.p65 8102007, 604 PM45m i m44 4'y iST446 - SEPTOCT 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWowners of intact animals. The public will correctly view veterinarians as enforcers.Once again our club swung into action, writing letters to the State Assembly. A couple of us attended a Sacramentohearing in late April. Hundreds of dog people were there. AKC sent representatives to encourage us to contact ourrepresentatives and voice opposition to the bill. We realized that a huge amount of statewide concern was being generated,but we were a rather unorganized mass. AKC was leaving, and somehow, we had to form a coalition to fight this bill.A note was sent out to a few lists, from Bill Hemby. Bill had represented COPS for the past thirty years. He is wellknown in Sacramento, and is a Borzoi fancier. Bill offered to represent the interests of the dog and cat fancy, if we werewilling to support him. Support formed quickly, and PetPAC was born. PetPAC now represents over 35,000 pet lovers.The Hidden Dragon assumed form, and rose on the horizon to fend off the crouching tiger of animal rights groups.PetPAC put on a media blitz to inform the public and legislators of the pitfalls of AB 1634. Other groups joined inthe effort. National Animal Interest Alliance provided information and support. A group of show owners and handlerscalled Concerned Dog Owners of California formed. The Save Our Dogs website eloquently presents the concerns ofmany dog fanciers in the state, and particularly the concerns of sporting dogs, working dogs, farm dogs, police dogs, andservice dogs. The Cat Fanciers Association, a national organization, funded anti-1634 television commercials.One surprising sponsor of the bill was the California Veterinary Medical Association. The California Federation ofDog Clubs launched an intense campaign to notify all veterinarians in the state about their organizations support of the bill.The result was widespread outrage on the part of the rank and file veterinarians. CVMA eventually withdrew support of thebill. This represented a major turning point in the battle against 1634.Desperate to pass the bill, and responding to claims that it would eliminate mixed breeds and working dogs, Levineadded provisions that owners might obtain exemptions to breed their pets once. Now several of his own AR groups wouldno longer support the bill due to it being softened. Unable to please either side, Levine withdrew the bill. However, it willmost likely rear its ugly head again in 2008.The website for California Healthy Pets currently proclaims Dog Fighters Torture and Kill their Animals. Anddog fighters across California are battling AB 1634, because they know the bill gives animal control officers tough newtools to go after dog fighting criminals. We are Californias Animal Control officers. Please help us rid our state ofillegal dog fighters. Please help us enforce current laws against underground breeders. Please support AB 1634, theCalifornia Healthy Pets ActNow the truth has never seemed to matter to these AR groups. And the fact is that dog fighters have not battled1634. They are too busy torturing, maiming, and gambling to care whether they comply with any sort of neuteringregulations. Dog fighting is already illegal in our state. But leave it to the AR groups to use the emotion of this issue toattempt to Get all breeders in the state Judie Mancuso has said that there is no such thing as a hobby breeder, thateveryone is breeding for money and that all breeders should be stopped.Limit laws were originally instituted under this same guise as being tools for animal control to effectively go afterthe undesirable breeders in the community. Now these same tools have become the Laws under which any undergroundbreeder is fair game for animal control selective targeting and punishment. Since it is generally impossible to comply withlimit laws and conduct an effective breeding program simultaneously, hobby breeders need to steel themselves for anotherround with the animal rights groups come 2008.In this issue of The Pomeranian Review we have included an article and photos from the recent California senatehearing related to CA AB 1634. Permission to print has been given by the photographer and author, Diane Amble ofDearheart Chinchilla Persians in San Francisco. Diane is a member of Operation Media, a group of ladies who arrangedfor the appearance of Lassie, Jon Provost Timmy and trainer Bud Weatherwax at the Senate hearing July 11th.Proponents of the bill have been relying on their own version of star power, calling upon retired game show hostand Animal Rights activist Bob Barker to pressure legislators to approve the bill. This strategy worked initially, as the billdid narrowly pass the state assembly. However, the pet-loving opposition groups were well mobilized by the time the billreached the Senate Local Government committee. Apparently, Bob Barker met his match in Lassie, whose presence at thecapital lent a silent strength. This was very effective in staving off the animal rights fanatics... temporarily.The Crouching Tiger of the animal rights agenda remains poised to strike again.

Pomeranians bred in those two countries have widely contributed to improve the quality of thebreed all over the world.However, the U.S.A. is such a big country that even to be updated on what happens in your owncontinent can be rather difficult for an American breeder, let alone what happens overseas.

Expression plays such a vital role andthis is enhanced when the efes are dark with well pigmented rims giving that lively, intelligent look of anticipation.The Pom has a fairly short neck and this greatly assists itto get that overall circular effect when in show stance,the little neck, short coupled body and the high set tail fanning upThe best of the Pomeranians will be fine in bone with small, tight catlike feet. It is essential to realise that they must be balanced and to achieve this the forelegs must have a certain length,ie withers to elbow and elbow to feet being the Over-sprung ribbing and chunky bodies with thick stumpy forelegs should never become acceptable in the Pomeranian and should certainly never be rewarded with top placements.The breed's crowning glory is its coat.A soft fluffy undercoat with a harsh, perfectly straight and lengthy top coat coming through and covering the whole body The mane and chest are particularly abundantly coated as is the tail,with good feathering on the forelegs and thighs.The Standard allows almost all colours, and while I have seen the odd parti- colour and black and tan veryfewotthe latter,and they are frowned upon by the cognoscenti - dogs,other than white,with white and tan markings are 'highly undesirable' here,the vast majority seen in UK show rings are sables, oranges or blacks,though cream, beaver,blue, brown or white are all acceptable. And I wonder if it is politically correct to have a statement which avers'where whole coloured and particolours compete together, the preference should,if other points are equal.be given to the whole coloured specimen'.A top class Pomeranian on the move is a sightto behold,they an ooze self-belief, have a brisk action which implies a huge degree of importance, almost a look of mischief and daring with that ready-to-take-on-all-comers airHowever, having known the breed intimately through my close connection with the late great Bob Flavell and his wife Betty, I know that they can also be stubborn and self willed when it suits them - but it simply adds to their undeniable charm.the mane which frames the head. CareMy earliest recollection of this totally charming breed goes way back to the days of the Scottish Kennel Club when it was held at the Waverley Market in Edinburgh.One lady exhibitor seemed to dominate the shows then and to my amazement to each show with a seemingly endless string of orange orbs on legs,fine, compact, profusely coated, eyes ever looking up at her and she seemed incapable of losing.no matter who judged She was the legendary Gladys Dyke of Hadleigh fame whose achievements became almost folklore. I think she must have won moreA the bade towards the head creating a real spherical shape.Think Papillon and one thinksof refi nement, elegan ce, butterfly-type flaring ears,tip toe of expectation in stance, that bright ever so knowing almost inquisitive expression and, hopefully, the whole package dressed in a glamorous, silky spariding jacket.A good Papillon will always demand a second look no matter what the opposition is. They are quite special, ever alert and can follow a judge with that Mona Lisa-type glance, just daring you to pass by without notidng them.The head is one of the main features of the breed and it is divided between the oca put and stop two thirds with the stop to tip of nose the other third.The situII is just gently rounded never flat or domed, the stop is very well defined and the foreface is refined and almost pointed with a black nose.The Q'es are round, medium sized are fairly low set and should always give that 'glad to be alive, where is the action' look.The ears pi ay such an important role as they can make or break a good Pap head and expression.They should be large, set fairly wide on the skull allowing the slight skull rounding to be visible,they are rounded at the tips and when held erect they should be about 45 degrees to the head.The ears should be erect except on Phalenes when they are dropped, never thick but should remain fine and are at their best when heavily fringed,giving the butterfly wings shape.Although the neck should be of medium length, some are too stuffy there and the look of elegance and gentility goes, so I err towards more neck rather than too little.The Papillon body is fairly long in ribcage with a good depth of chest, the shoulders well laid,the ribs have a good degree of spring,net short coupled and the underline should rise slightlyThe backline is vital to a good Papillon.The neck line should lead to a level back- too many rise towards the rump or else dip behind the withers - leading to a high set tail which has length, is well fringed and arches over the back with the long coat forming a silky plume.I like to see a good bend of stifle, preferably matching a good front, and another of the breed-specific points is that the bone should be fine, slender, call it what you will, but the overall effect must always be one of refinement, style and oozing class. The feet too are fine,fairly long with tufts of fine hair extending beyond them.First impressions can mean so much and the sight of a good Papillon entering the ring like agalleon in full sail,head,up,ears flaring,tail plumeflowing and the crowning glory being that light, scarcely seeming to touch the ground, totally balanced,free striding action, is guaranteed to make any judge do a mental note to 'look again'.Part of the breed's charm is that they are among the brightest and most intelligent of dogs and are certainly among those mostwillingto please their handlers. I often annot help but smile at the expressions some of them manage to give as they endeavour make their owner happy.It is no wonder they are a huge success in obedience work and agility work- they have a zest for life, have the courage of a lion,the brain of a Border Collie and much,much more. All that and so much glamour - no wonder they are so popular.length.doubles than any other exhibitor everLike a top class Papill on, a really good Pom eranianbe breath-taking, a real show stopper and one not easily overlooked" VThe general appearance and characteristics requirement in the Standard is a good starting poi nt. Compact, short-cou pled, well knit in frame. Exhibiting great intelligence in expression activity and buoyancy in deportment Sound,vivacious and dainty I have to admit that I have often thought the head description of the Pom to be a bit misleading. 'Head and nose foxy in outline' I have seen a fw foxes in my time, but never one with a Pomeranian type of head For a start,a fox's skull is certainly never large in proportion to its muzzle.For me the Pomeranian skull should be almost flat with a good stop and a refined, almost pointed muzzle with tight fitting lips and a decent chin but certainly neverM4 4Ch Wynwrights Jubilee Belle.The eyes should be as dark as possible, large and globular in shape and full of fire with a loolc which says 'devilment' or'mischief' which in a split second an become one of such solicitude and softness that you can easily become enslaved.They are amongthe real characters in the dog world and few have more expressive faces.Agood Pugshape and outline will reveal a hint of arrogance duetothe slight arching of the neck which should have sufficient length and thickness to hold the head proudly, but beware of exaggeration.I like to see really good ribbing on a Pug, shoulders well laid, the forelegs should be quite strong with well weighted bone and they should fit well under the dog.I like the elbow to be placed midway between the wither height and the feet and of course th e forelegs mu st be straight. Chests should have a decent width and to achieve the hoped for shape, the topline has to be level without any trace of reaching or sagging.So I see the body itself as robust, almost chunky,strong in loin, level backed and finishing with a high set tail with a tight twist or curl - a double curl is much desired but seldom seen.The Pug is no lightweight so to suit the needs of a strongly made deg the hindquarters should be muscled with supple hams, enough bend of stifle and well boned hocks.The glorious touch of a real Pug jacket is such a wonderful top dressingto a package. It should be very fine and smooth,quite short and never woolly or harsh to the touch.There is a wide colour range, silver, apricot,fawn or black. Each colour should be well defined and smudging of the colours is frowned upon.There should also be delineated black markings on the a diamond shape mid skull. Not too often seen these days is thetrace.a clear narrow black line running down the badeFinally we have the Pug action, again quite unique. Watched going away the Pug has a slight roll but he uses his hocks well and is quite straight and true. When fore viewed he should display proud head arriage.the forelegs straight and he should have a positive, straight step.Profile action an make or break a Pug as when it is moving in balance, holding its head almost arrogantly and showing a degree of purpose in drive as it circles the ring, it will never fail to draw the eye of the knowledgeable judge. And a top class member of this rather classy breed is a serious threat to all comers in the show ring.So there you have it, one man's thoughts on what makes each of these super toy dogs, so very, very special. If you get half as much pleasure from judging them as I dev you will have had a very successful timemeThe Papillon, ChTongemoor Miss Peppermint.The charismatic Pug is one of theall-time favourite toy dogs. It has enjoyedthe favour of the aristocracy for many years - the late Duke andDuchess of Windsor were notable devotees - and it continues to be held in highregard by so very many toydog lovers. I think that 'once bitten,forever smitten' isan appropriate adage for this delightful breed.Bright,amusing companions, playful, inquisitive and really just fun to be with What more could one seek if after a smaller breed of dogThe Pug should be truly square.'Multum in parvo' is what the Standard seeks and a good Pug is just that - a lot of deg in a little space and deceptively heavy for its sizeAs with so many breeds, much weight is given to the head and in this the Pug is quite unique and unmistakeable. It is totally different from the Pekingese head as this head is round but definitely NOT apple headed, with a short, blunt muzzle which should be quite square.The lower jaw should have width and the bite is slightly undershot though a wry mouth or one with the teeth or tongue showing is to be deprecated. Of great importance are the wrinkles which should be clearly defined.The ears are soft to the touch and have been likened to velvet.There are two types of ear, the rose ear which folds over and then backwards to reveal the burr of the ear, but the most prized isthebutton ear where the flap folding over lies close to the skull. To give the real Pug look of class and good breeding,the ears should be small and quite fine.However, to me the real attraction in the Pug is in its eyes and expression.They speak volumes andthePugis one of the few breeds which an makeme unconsciously smile as I walk around the ring, so effective can their expression be.Ch Rosalia of Nanchyl.phe David Daltoncheek moles,muzzle,thumb markContentsSUPPLEMENT EDITOR SIMON PARSONS LAYOUT PRODUCTION COLIN SWAFFER,PAUL DAVIES,JAMES MORRISSEYCOMMERCIAL BUSIMESS MANAGER ANN GEORGEBREED ADVERTEING EXECUTIVESPAM BLAY, VALERIE LANETRADE ADVERTEING EXECUTIVESROB ASPIN, LEE HUTTONDOG WORLD LTD Somerfield House.

In terms of type and consistency they have to rank as one of the greatest bloodlines developed in British dogs, producing champion after champion and clocking up over 300 CCs.Spare a thought for the other successful breeders of the time, the Aurum,Cynpegs,Saymar,Andersley,Wynwrights, Ringlands, Haysholm andbut a few they had to make their names competingTHE POMERANIAN may be small in stature but it is large in personality and this is certainly one of the main factors in the ongoing popularity of the breed since Victorian times.The Pom we see in the ring today is very much the result of those Victorian breeders who concentrated on reducing the breeds size, shortening its back and increasing the amount of coat to produce the overall effect of a fluffy ball. The result is a glamorous toy dog with a true spitz temperament, capable being utterly captivating while having a mind of its own. Is It any wonder that they do so well in the big ringsDuring my time in the breed I have been lucky enough to see the British greats of over three decades. Ch Hadleigh Shining Star has to rank as one of the greatest and my personal favourite. He was spectacular, with a compact body,a huge bright orange coat, the most exquisite of refined heads and a plume to his ears and beyond.He dominated the British ring in the early 70s accumulating CCs ata rate which has since been matched only once and doing well in toy group and BIS rings. He was the breed record holder for many years having won 32 CCs in two years.In feet the number of Poms to win in excess of 30 CCs is still only half a dozen.

The vast majority of these bloodlines were lost to future breeders here and they had, to all intents and purposes, to start again with what Next we should consider the changes in how hobby kennels operate. Many of the most successful Pom breeders were maintaining large kennels of 30-plus dogs through to the start of the 80s, long after this had become economically impossible for larger breeds.Quite often kennels had both show and breeding stock and it was usual for breeding bitches their showing counterparts. Certainly, when I started showing in the breed thewere widely used and bitch champions rarely went on to produce.17stand-off coatThe current breed record holder is our Ch Thelbern Mardi Gras.Steaccumulated 39 CCs all under different judges and a number of groups as well.

She had the sweetest of heads and expressions and a magnificent cream coat which set off her superb pigmentation a treatEssentially, the bloodlines within the breed are still home grown. Over the past two decades there have been some imports, mainly from the US, but numbers have been relatively small and the spread over tirr sufficient to dilute their impact on the breed as a whole.

Perhaps you havedone everything the same way you trained the last dog and it was pretty successful, too, but it doesntseem to be working on the present dog. It is important for all of us to keep in mind the popular sayingabout the definition of insanity Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting somethingdifferent to happen. There are many, many ways to train a dog to do any activity, and not all of them willwork with all dogs. Most of us realize that even within a breed, grooming will not be the same for eachdog. The same holds true for training.So what do you do when your training comes to a screeching halt Right now, I am beginning to go backto some of my favorite books, which I either read in the past, making use of what I needed then, or readmore recently and now need to get something more out of them. I will be sharing with you from time totime some of my favorites, how I make use of them. This time, I will give just an overview of two olderbooks I consider essentialPlaytraining Your Dog, by Patricia Gail Burnham, was published by St. Martins Press in 1980. Though 27years old, this book contains some terrific training advice. It was written during the bad old days, wheneveryone was training with the jerk-and-pull method, and when I was told by an obedience club that ALLdogs must be trained on a choke slip collar, and that I could not use food in training. Luckily, I had awonderful private instructor who taught me otherwise. Even this book tells you that you must have a slipcollar for training. I like this line on heeling, Really good heeling is virtually a dance form in which the dogand handler are partners. One useful idea from this book is this one, which is about the light line forheeling If the dog decides to smell the ground or wander off, he receives a single light line correction,which should surprise him considerably. Praise him. Do a short heel and stop. Put him back on leash andchange to a different exercise. As soon as that first correction is made, the dog is going to watch to seehow it was done. The first correction in each session with a light line is the only one that does any good.Successful Obedience Handling The New Best Foot Forward, by Barbara Handler, published by AlpinePublications in 1991. Despite the fact that the AKC Obedience Regulations have changed since this bookwas written, it is still a superior guide to preparing to actually enter an Obedience ring. She explains how toascertain when your dog is ready to enter, how to fill out the proper form, and even such basics asexercising your dog, which has nothing to do with calisthenics. She tells how to choose a dumbbell2007 SEPT OCT Pom Review.p65 8102007, 607 PM62i i i in4rIiTtI III11 HY . a AM WZ'J.ft HII I __4 4L J4SEPTOCT 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 63Performance Continuedwood or plastic size and shape and suggests carrying three with you, one being a lighter color for use ondark mats inside. A stick-figure drawing shows the correct landing area for the Broad Jump. She includessome advice for the small dog also If you have a small dog and show outdoors, practice having the pileof articles invisible to the dog in tall grass or over the edge of a hill or curb so that the dog believes thereis something there to find, even if he cant see it.Competition Obedience Training for the Small Dog, by Barbara Cecil and Gerianne Darnell, published byT9E Publishing in 1994, is of course the classic book on training especially the Toy breeds. Things you willnot get from an author or instructor who has never trained a small dog will be found here. The authorssuggest shortening your heeling stride until the distance between your feet on each step is approximatelythe length of your dog. Otherwise, your dog may appear to be lagging about half of the time. Anotherhelpful hint is to step out [on the Forward command] with your right foot rather than your left . . . to theeye it looks like a lag if the dog isnt aligned or moving with the left foot at the first step of heeling. Theyexplain how to use a dowel for heeling and a leash basket for teaching the stand. They also include acomplete adjustable schedule for training the dog through Utility before entering Novice. You couldprobably train your dog completely using nothing more than this book as your guide.ROACH TERRIERThose of you who have NOT lived in the southern states or in the tropics will probably not understandthis story, but Im going to tell it anyway. My 1 year old Tessie recently took to catching June bugslargish beetles and bringing them into the house via the doggie door, mouth full, lips securely clamped toprevent her prey from escaping. When I caught her doing this, I would say, Tessie You take that rightback outside She would mostly retreat quickly through the doggie door, though once in a while shewould instead crunch and swallow, and I could only hope that June bugs were not toxic.Last week, she came in through the doggie door, and I could see her mouth bulging around her prey.Tessie You take that right back outside Instead, she made a mad dash for the sofa, faced the cornerwith her back to me, spit, and whirled toward me. What What bug I dont have a bug I amrunning over to the sofa with visions of the June bug now down in the cracks between sofa and cushion,and having to fish it out. Nothing is to be seen. Tessie is also looking, and suddenly retrieves it frombehind a toy she had carried up onto the sofa, her mouth now satisfactorily full again. Tessie You takethat outside right this minute Instead, she races across the room and leaps onto my favorite chair, back tome, spits, and whirls. Bug What bug I dont see any bugUnfortunately, I do. Behind her, crawling up my chair, is what in this part of the country is known as atree roach in Arizona, they are called water bugs in Indonesia they are called Indonesian flyingcockroaches. These repellant up-to-two-inch monstrosities live outside for the most part, though when itrains they try to get inside out of the weather. A friend of mine declares they are not roaches at all, butwhen I made the comparison between a sparrow and an eagleboth being birdsshe had to agree that yes,they are roaches, in a sense. They are not, I am sure, happy about being transported by dog.I get my broom, knock the creature to the floor, hold it down with the tines of the broom and step on it.Tessie, meanwhile, is behind me complaining, Mom What are you doing That was MINE I sweep theremains out the door and turn around to see her racing pell-mell for the bedroom. I run behind her. On mybedroom carpet, I find the mutilated and dismembered remains of two more of the things, which I flushdown the toilet.2007 SEPT OCT Pom Review.p65 8102007, 607 PM63i i i in4r4 4L J464 - SEPTOCT 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWPerformance ContinuedTessie seems to have given up on that sport now, but I wait with some trepidation for her next excitingadventure.HEARD AROUND THE RINGNovice A handler exiting the ring, to an experienced exhibitor, The judge told me I qualified.

Katie Gammill - Lerna, Illinoisindcrk13011consolidated.netwww.indiancreekshelties.comBreed club education the last few years seems to place anemphasis on property judging. Animals are extolled for having thebest head, best foot, best stop, best eye, best planes, and best coat.Are these truly the bests or simply personal preferences Singlevirtue judging may be a double edged sword. It is imperative theseparticular traits complete the composite regarding breed type in everybreed. However, putting emphasis on one specific trait over anothermay present an unbalanced overall picture of the animal as a whole.PROPERTYPRIORITIZINGANDDogs should fill the eye of the beholder.Should we ignore the beauty of a forest in our quest for a specializedwood Mushroom season finds me foraging near dead elms and I still pickwildflowers, although I cannot fry them in butter.Are judges being misdirected Putting too much emphasis on aparticular virtue and not stepping back to view the animal from across thering results in some unexplainable choices to those watching ringside.By not viewing any animal from a distance, the winner may be lacking.For the want of a shoe, a horse is lost we easily translate into For thewant of a , a dog is lost.Some judges stand on top of dogs studying pieces. They thenreward an animal at the expense of its entirety. Confusion reigns if dogsappearing in a ring for final evaluation appear out of place due to emphasisplaced on a single virtue.Most judges want it all. They seek a blend of temperament, type,showmanship, soundness, and movement. This is prioritizing. The oldAKC standards had point systems. This assisted a judge in identifyingwhere to hang hisher hat. This system contributed to a lookdistinguishing one breed from another. The Great Dane, the Doberman,the Akita, the Malamute, and many other breeds have a specific look.This animal reeks of breed type, which is often called a look of eaglesor nobility. Losing these particulars produce a generic show dog. Thegeneric show dog may do nothing wrong, but neither does it do anythingright.Mediocrity often prevails due to a single fault and the inability of ajudge to forgive. Sometimes, dogs reflecting a breed specific movementlose on that very virtue. In many cases,some faults are so prevalent todaymany people consider them a virtue.Each front fault has acorresponding action and visa versa.Do we address breed faults today, ordo we adjust them Ex straight frontsand over angulated rears some viewas style. Excessive coats requiringextensive grooming to create anoutline could well be too much of agood thing.Understanding the originalintent of different breeds helps toidentify what makes them breedspecific. However, rewarding ananimal on a single property losesappeal when the animal lumbersaround the ring to pick up the covetedblue.Giving this trend towardeducation, is soundness ignoredThose not understanding anatomy andcorresponding movement, mayunconsciously put too much emphasison a single virtue.

Are we perfectingmediocrityWhen breeders emphasize asingle virtue, breeds begin to change.Heads lengthen, eye placementchanges, legs are shorter, ear carriagechanges, drooping flews destroy a lipline, and so on. By the time it becomesapparent, the dogs not only changein appearance, but there can beadverse temperaments problems.These changes may be so subtle weaccept them UNTILStandards can be confusing inthemselves. That is why it isimperative judges attend seminars.They should NOT let informationoverride common sense andexperience. Judges DO NOT set type.The parent club determines type. Pictorial standards are explicit inemphasizing properties.Not all judges understand Basic Dog 101. This is where breedclubs may get their knickers in a twist.Breed specific movement is part of breed type, as is body shape,top line, and a distinction between toy, moderate, and giant. A good ruleof thumb is The front legs are NOT there to support the head in anybreed. An exaggeration of any one trait may well indicate incorrectness.This article expresses todays general concerns and conversations.Property judging and priority judging are two separate issues. To emphasizeone over the other sends the wrong message. Breeding an animal of TRUEbreed type capable of doing the job as originally intended should be theend goal. Otherwise, our breeds will slide back into muttdom. This initself will thrill organizations of today with adverse intentions regardinglegislation. Without type, soundness, dedication, vigilance, and ethics, oursport will simply self destruct.Judging is a continuous learning process, as is breeding. Everyonemeasures the dog in front of them by their OWN yardstick of combinededucation and experience. No one virtue should take precedence over theentire animal. Prioritizing means consideration to ALL parts in the searchof the whole. When there is less emphasis on specific virtues, exaggerationsand caricatures of breed type will become a thing of the past and theresult will be no less than breathtaking.Prioritizing and Property Judging ContinuedI thought you would enjoy seeing somerecent pictures of how great Brock seeRescue Brockwell in JulyAug 2007Review is doing.

The American Pomeranian Club, Inc. and the Pomeranian Review does not endorseor recommend any procedure or accept responsibility of their use. Always consult a professional, legal council andor a licensed veterinarian. Pom Talk questions and comments may sent Roxanne Collins, 6405 W. 650N, Fair Oaks, IN 47943, Ph. 219 866-4464 orpommomnetnitco.netWith Roxanne CollinsOur question is When placing a puppy as a pet, what guarantees do you offer the buyerWhen we place a pet it is normally 6 months old or older. So it has all its shots including rabies. If it has any puppy teeth that need tobe removed, they have already been removed as well it is spayed or neutered in most cases. So by the time it leaves us it has had bloodwork and several vet checks. So the only guarantee they have is 72 hours. Michele - Sincity PomsI handle pets the same as show prospects, other than a spay neuter clause and limited registration. I disclose faults, if any, that the puppyhas, whether show or not. I have often placed puppies as pets, rather than sell as show prospects. I disclose any issues that I am awareof in regards to any health issues of the individual puppy. I ask them to have the puppy examined by their vet within 72 hours. They mayreturn the puppy to me within fourteen days for a full reimbursement of purchase price, less any shipping expense, if applicable.Puppies do not always work out in a new home and Id rather have them back, than where they are not wanted. At any time through thelife of the dog I will take it back and, if applicable, find it a new home. On pets, papers are given after providing proof of spay or neuter,if it wasnt done before the leave for the new home, it must be done by seven months of age. If the puppy is not registered they can pickthe name per AKC. Registration and shot records are given after the fourteen-day trial period is over. Copies are sent with the puppy.Other than these things, no other guarantees are offered. Pati - Patricias PomeraniansI guarantee only against congenital defects heart, eyes, hereditary things. However, since, I do not want my dogs dumped, or going torescue, I request on the contract that the dog come back to me if it is not kept for ANY reason. I will be happy to re-home it myself.Kelley - Petite Acres PomsOn pets I give a 72-hour try puppy out and they can have a vet check the Pom out. If the new owner wants, they can return the puppy fora full refund. All pets are spayed and neutered. On hopefuls I sell at a pet price with the same guarantee above. After the puppy reaches6 plus months old, has a good bite and if male both testicles are down and the owner wants to show they pay a second fee for the papers.I tell the prospective buyers what health issues there are in the Poms and that I cannot for see what issues this puppy will have in thefuture. I have the parents on premise if they wish to see them. I do not sell for high prices, which I feel is fair for all concerned. I do nothave puppies to sell very often. I usually grow my hopefuls out myselfRandy - Randys PomsI guarantee for any puppy I sell against genetic life threatening illness heart or liver up to 2 years of age. They are free from contagiousdiseases when they leave my house, as long as the new owners dont let them go out in strange places for about 2 weeks. Linda DreamWeaverPomsWhen I place a pup as a pet, they get 72 hours to have it vet checked for a full refund.They get one year for genetic problems that are detrimental to health. I do not cover vet expenses once it leaves my home unless it ishereditary. We will talk if there is a problem and go from there. So far all have been very happy with this treatment. On an older dog Iplace as a pet, it is placed as is at time of sale. I offer them helpadvice for the lifetime of the puppydog.Roxanne - Kissami PomsOur question for the next issue will beAt what age do you start table training and how do you introduce table training to themPlease respond via email pommomnetnitco.net2007 SEPT OCT Pom Review.p65 8102007, 609 PM75I I I I I i i i in4Vo\.4ICjkWml2'sm.5ar ^'T.iF""iNr1'i4 4476 - SEPTOCT 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWALABAMAAngela BlockerCarolyn J.

Rather than cancelingthe registrations of the individual dog, all of its littermates and all of theiroffspring, AKC will change affected dogs registration to the conditionalstatus.The conditional status will be clearly noted on the registration or pedigree of the unknown dog, as wellas all progeny for three generations, with the letter Q starting the AKC registration number. Conditionalstatus will only be granted in cases where the dog is believed to be purebred, but a registered parent isfound to be incorrect.The Conditional Registration program will foster better relationships with dog owners who discoverthat there is an unidentified ancestor in their purebred dogs pedigree, said Thomas Sharp, AssistantVice President of Compliance. Now these owners will not be penalized with a revoked AKCregistration and the loss of a majority of its benefits. For example, a dog with Conditional registrationmay still participate in any event in which ILP dogs may participate, including Obedience, Agility, andRally.AKC Conditional Registration Continued2007 SEPT OCT Pom Review.p65 8102007, 610 PM78I I I I I i i i in4led j w m^4 EvV p-,- L.'-'N j,''V^POB^a V^x' 15o4 A S S f VrM iSL ^V - fo-l1ffPO^ R4 4O'l 11cv -5^ \^v..IIg-mr.4SEPTOCT 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 79Conditional registration also offers informed breeders the ability tokeep these dogs and their offspring in a breeds gene pool. To registera litter out of a sire and dame with conditional registration, bothparents must be DNA-profiled. After three generations of DNAprofiledparents, the registrations will revert to regular for the litter inthe fourth generation. This protocol is in line with the acceptance ofimported dogs with three generation pedigrees from the country oforigin.For more information visit httpwww.akc.orgregconditional_reg_info.cfm or contact the AKC DNADepartment at dnaakc.org .AKC FULL LITTER REGISTRATION - August 8, 2007A Powerful Tool for Breeders to Help Educate Puppy Buyers and Create Permanent Breeding RecordsNew York, NY The American Kennel Club wants to remind breeders that by using the Full LitterRegistration process registering the litter and individual puppies at the same time on the same formbreeders are helping AKC reach more purebred dog owners. This not only allows AKC to realize itsmission of promoting responsible dog ownership and exposing new owners to AKC programs andservices, it also enables breeders to create a permanent legacy of their breeding programs in the AKCRegistry.Some of the many advantages Full Litter Registration offers breeders include a 29 percent averagediscount on litter-registration fees based on litter of five puppies a 40 percent discount on eachindividual dog-registration fee a streamlined process to complete the entire registration the ability toselect each puppys name, ensuring kennel names are used correctly and increased accuracy of puppyinformation such as color, sex, and markings.An additional benefit of Full Litter Registration is that new owners bringing home their puppy knowthat it has already been registered and granted AKC papers, said Assistant Vice President ofRegistration David W. Roberts. Breeders can also order AKC-Certified Pedigrees at a discount fortheir new puppy owners with the Full Litter Registration option.Full Litter Registration also ensures that each dog bears its kennel name for posterity. This can be apowerful tool for breeders who wish to have their breeding programs become part of the permanenthistory of their breed as well as their contribution to the sport of purebred dogs.The Full Litter Registration application is available as a downloadable form on the AKC web site athttpwww.akc.orgpdfsmasterform.cfm . Breeders who use the Full Litter Registration applicationcan register litters for a flat 25 fee and then individually register each puppy for an additional 12 - a40 savings on individual registration.For those breeders who have already registered a litter, but would like to take advantage of full litterregistration, the Full Litter Offspring application is also available. This application allows the breeder toindividually register all puppies in an already-registered litter for 10 each.AKC Conditional Registration Continued2007 SEPT OCT Pom Review.p65 8102007, 610 PM79I I I I I i i i in4vsmled j Ira4 4480 - SEPTOCT 2007 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWADVERTISING RATESFull Page Color 275.00Full Page Black White 100.00Half Page Color 150.00Half Page Black White 60.00Fourth Page 40.00All ads include one photo.SUBSCRIPTION RATESUSPS First Class 45USPS Bulk 37Foreign 100Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico 55Single Issue 10For more information contact217 347-5731fame62401yahoo.comRegional Pomeranian Club Specialty coming events are published free of charge.For updates and regional club contact information go to the APC website at httpwww.americanpomeranianclub.orgCOMING EVENTSSeptember 14, 2007 - Pomeranian Club of Central Indiana Specialty Lebanon, Indiana.
