BAKER 207 Shirleen Drive Sea brook, Texas 77586It is encouraging to learn that some of you actually DO read this column evidenced by quite a hit of interest from other areas in their Club hosting a National Specialty. It is too premature to announce anything just yet, hut I do feel we will be having some Summer Specialtiies in varied areas of the country in the future. Im kidding about reading the column I know you do because I hear from you, and I appreciate your interest.A bit of bad newsour Kathryn Birk, from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and one of the members of the Clubs Board of Directors, recently suffered a severe stroke, leaving some paralysis and difficulty with speech for Kathryn. Outlook is, however, quite good according to Ted, her husband. It will just take a little time for Kathryn to be back to her wonderful self again I do urge all of you to drop her a card or letter and let her know we are all out here thinking of her. She of all people will most certainly appreciate it Get well, KathrynI am getting excellent reports regarding plans for our Specialty in February. Seems everyone is doing hisher job in an excellent manner and plans are progressing fine. Sam Zaneoff is in charge of the dinner and we have already re- received notification, with reservation information and form included. Dinner is to be the night after the show, in the Loews Summit Hotel, with a really excellent menu something quite different sort of a smorgasbord affair asI understand it. Be sure to get your reservations in to Sam Zaneoff early so he can provide for everyone.I dont know whether this is appropriate or not, but Im getting the pleasure of doing it anyway announcing that the Anniversary Issue scheduled for next year POMERANIAN REVIEW July, 1978 seems to be receiving lots of interest already and should be a real museum piece to own. Read Page 44 of your last Review October, 1977 issue for details on advertising in it, ordering it, etc.I dislike bearing bad news, but feel I should mention the loss of three well- known and admired Pomeranians recently. Mr. Sam Zaneoff lost his Champion Sheebas Little Dragonfly and Ralph and Joyce Graves lost their Champion Duke Lil Red Baron of OKala, and Bob Goodrich lost his Champion Models Son of Fun. Our sympathy to these owners of great Poms.And to happier words cold weather time is here well, maybe cool in the South and this heralds the approaching new year WHICH means NEW YORK IN FEBRUARY This has become one of our favorite times of the year and we begin about now looking forward to the National Specialty and Westminster. People always give us a sort of incredulous look when we mention going New York in Februaryno one understands why we pick that bad-weather time of the year for a mini-vacation Olga joins me in wishing all of you the best of good fortune for 1978 see you in February.DEADLINEDeadline for the April Issue is February 20. For all those LUCKY ENOUGH to be SPECIALTY WINNERS, we will wait an additional 7 days for your ad copy. Specialty photos MUST be sent by First Class or Air Mail JUST AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THEM.POMERANIAN REVIEW 5AMERICAN AND BERMUDA CHAMPION SILVA LADE MAMA TRIEDTILLYtestate yfny..FIRST HI GROUPTilly started her show career in the Puppy Class in March, 1977 and through November has this impressive record Numerous Group Placements Group ls 7 Best In Shows 2OWNERMrs. Bob D.

TrainorLovett Road Oxford, MassachusettsBREEDERSDianne Johnson and Barbara DeBaugh 2901 Putty Hill Road Baltimore, Maryland 212346 POMERANIAN REVIEWCOYER STORYBy JESSIE W. YOUNGWe have a dear friend, Brenda Thomson of Chatham, Massachusetts, who with her husband David, is owned by three Poms. Brenda is a photographer, and has taken countless pictures of our dogs, many of which have been used in our past ads in the Pomeranian Review.During one of our weekend visits this year, Brenda arranged to have a sitting in her bosss studio. She wanted to try a group portrait, and took several pictures of Am. Can. Ch. Jabils Simply Smashing, Bo das Little Dusky Charmer age 7 mos., and his grandfather, Ch. Jabils Chester P. Honey- hugger. As usual, the results were lovely, but one picture stood out as an extraordinary glimpse of three dogs different expressions. The color picture is breathtaking, and has a place of honor over our fireplace.We decided that this would be the perfect picture to have on the Pom Review cover, not to publicize any particular dogs winning record, but to show the spirit which is evident in all Poms. Also, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our Pom friends a healthy and prosperous New Year.VERY IMPORTANT NOTICEThe Open Classes at our February Specialty will be divided by color as follows Open Dogs, Black, Brown and Blue Open Dogs, Red, Orange, Cream and Sable Open Dogs, Any Other Allowed Color. Same classes in Bitches. The class for Open Any Other Allowed Color is ONLY for Poms of colors NOT listed in the other two divisions. At the present time, this class would include Black Tan, White and Parti Color. If your dog is entered in the wrong color division, it will be dismissed, not judged.RED LETTER DATE February 12, 1978ANNIVERSARY ISSUEThe Cover Picture in Full Color has been sold, also all three other Color Pages originally offered. We have decided that there will be NO LIMIT on the number of Color Pages possible, with a 5th already sold and inquiries received on a couple more. We believe at this point the 150 price will hold firm and that no additional amount will be due in May, subject to color separation and printing cost increases later on. The additional color pages will be inserted in the body of the magazine. Please be certain that your color picture is sharply focused and clear in color, when you send it to us.We would like to remind all Subscribers that prepublication orders for the Anniversary Issue as well as black and white ads should come in as soon as possible. We cannot ascertain the SIZE of the book or number of articles to be reprinted until we have some idea of the financial backing we will receive. As all these articles from back issues have to be typed, you can imagine the tremendous amount of extra work facing us We say extra as of course there WILL BE a regular July Issue to be put out at approximately the same time.We would also like to request that all the breeders and judges who have been invited to write articles for this Anniversary Issue should send them in just as soon as possible.Send 5.00 to Pat Brooks, Circulation Manager before May 1 to reserve your copy of the Anniversary Issue at prepublication price. Send ALL ADS and ARTICLES to the Editor. Addresses on page 3, any issue. Remember, any available books ordered after May 1, 1978 will cost 7.95.HURRYIf you are coming to our February Specialty and have NOT already reserved your room at the Loews-Summit Hotel, 51st and Lexington Ave., N.Y.C. . . .

W. POTTEBAUMAs you can imagine, after reading the October Review, the AKC Delegates meeting was very interesting. Prior to attending this meeting, the APC Board met and instructed me to vote against the proposed changes in allowing neutered dogs in Stud Dog and Brood Bitch Classes and this I did, however, the majority of the Delegates present one of the largest meetings that has been held voted in favor of this change. At this point in time, I feel that this will become effective January 1st, 1978, but check your Premium Lists as you receive them.Perhaps the largest drawing card was the vote on discontinuing the licensing of professional handlers. After reviewing this with the APC Board and members that were present at the meeting, I voted No on this, but was in the minority, and this also passed. This vote was taken on an individual voice vote, the first that I have seen done at a meeting. All of the details are not worked out as yet, but as soon as we get some word on how this is going to work, I will let you know.Also at this meeting, we voted to change the rules with regards to having a Veterinarian present at all shows. This was passed and now, a Veterinarian is only required to be present at a Bench Show. For all other shows an On Call option may be used.For those of you who missed the Summer Specialty, you really missed a good time. All the details were worked out to perfection and everyone connected with the planning and putting this on deserve a round of applause. Aspecial thanks to Laura Reed, Thelma Dunn, Goldie Mandley and Ann Cannon.Make your plans now for the New York Specialty, hope to see you there.SEND A CARDCards and notes would be much appreciated by two of our members convalescing at this time . . .As described elsewhere in this issue, our long - time Ringside columnist, Kathryn Birk has suffered a severe stroke from which she is making an excellent recovery.

Funds on your checks, as this simply doesnt mean a thing to the New York bank where it goes for exchange. We MUST have either a check drawn on a U.S. bank account, an International Bank Draft or probably best and easiest for all, a Postal Money Order payable in U.S. Funds. Thank you for your cooperation.MORE ABOUT PICTURESAdvertisers are not cropping their pictures, before sending them to us. If you want your picture in the ad to show Dog Only, it is up to YOU to mask the picture to show area wanted OR alternately, draw outline LIGHTLY on the picture with a crayon or grease pencil This is NOT up to the Review Staff to do. Consider, if you will, the extra time it takes us to mask 15 or 20 pictures. It only takes a few minutes for each advertiser to do his own.POMERANIAN REVIEW 9TIM SUE POMERANIANS PROUDLY PRESENTtmsCh.Tim Sues Poinciana StarWinners Dog At the American Pomeranian Club Summer Specialty Pedigree Behind The New Champions Congratulations to Mrs. Luda Swartz of St. Petersburg, Florida on her Ch.

Im sure the rather large entry can be attributed to a most capable Judge.In the puppy dogs 6-9 months Mr. McCoy chose Dormilonas Tequilla, owned by T. E. Daniels and H. W. Pottebaum. Though the only entry that had not been absent in his class, he seemed a rather nice pleasing little fellow. The 9-12 month dog class drew but one sole entry, Embers Stolen Moment, owned by Marie Bruce. A classy small but rather typey orange puppy.The Winner of the Bred by Exhibitor Class was Hartmans Dutch Boy Benjie, bred and shown by Rosa Hartman.Mr. McCoys choice in his open Black, Brown, and Blue dog class was Silvamere Fizzies Fault, owned by Dianne Johnson and Co - owned by Barbara R. Debaugh. An impressive black dog who was later chosen Reserve Winners dog.The large class of Open Red, Orange, Cream and Sable dogs seemed a tough choice of dogs for Mr. McCoy, sincemany entered in this class were of nice quality. From ringside a close decision between his first place choice and later Winners Dog Tim Sues Poinciana Star, a beautifully conditioned orange Pom, owned and shown by Sue Goddard and Enjays Portrait in Motion, shown to perfection by owner Norma J. Jenkins, who was placed second. Third prize winner Pomirish Buddys Son Shine, owned by Mary Jane Wilson and Sally Baugniet was a stylish, eye catching little fellow. Fourth prize went to Thelduns Tiniest Social Lion a red Pom, owned by Thelma Dunn and Robert Harris.T K- i NNERJudge Forrest W. McCoy finds his Winners Dog in Tim Sues Poinciana Star, bred by Mrs. R. E. Inscho and handled by Owner Sue Goddard, Photo by John Ashbey.In his Puppy Bitch Class, 6-9 months, Mr. McCoys choice was Bev-Nors Pride and Joy, capably handled by Marlene Balcerak, a nice Sable bitch that showed to perfection. Coincidentally there were three bitches in this class that were litter sisters, placing First, Second and Fourth respectively. Third place went to Jabils Electra owned by Jessie W. and Barbara Young.In the Puppy 9-12 month bitch class, C. J. Carvale Candy a lone entry with one absentee was winner.POMERANIAN REVIEW 11A single entry, Petite Miss Pamela owned, by Bonnie Anderson Lewis, was winner of the Novice Bitch Class. She was a white bitch.In the Bred by Exhibitor Bitch class, first place winner was a nicely coated Sable bitch Tashas Lonely Solitare, owned by Patricia Knouse. Cynthia Kellers, Thelduns Little Bit of OHoney, the American Bred bitch class winner, another lone entry, was a sable bitch who did her utmost to put up with the warm weather. 1American Pomeranian Club President Darrell W. Baker presents the trophy as Judge Forrest McCoy gives Winners Bitch and Best of Winners to Bev-Nors Witchy Woman of Dennis, bred by Dennis Baines, owned by Beverly Norris and handled to her wins by Marlene Balcerak. John Ashbey took the picture.From his open Black, Brown, and Blue Bitch class, Mr. McCoys choice was Bev-Nors Witchy Woman of Lennis, a nicely animated, well coated black bitch, piloted to her win by Marlene Balcerak and owned by Beverly Norris. From the Open Red, Orange, Cream and Sable bitch class, a rather cute, showy little bitch emerged. Scotia MDs Treasure Star Brite handled and owned by our own Edna Girardot.Mrs. Beverly Norris Witchy Woman of Lennis was the Judges choice as Winners Bitch, and she was very much in contention in Best of Breed competition .The sitxeen year old little veterans bitch, Leonardis Lil Miss Tiny Tina owned and handled by Laura Reed drew large applause as she paraded around the ring.- f, P fit. j -Jv-Judge Forrest McCoy is seen in this Ashbey photo awarding the Rosette for Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed to Ch.

Mike Mars Triple Crown, bred and owned by Michael Wolf and Mrs. Walter Jeffords. He was an impressive little dog, well conditioned and well handled by Mr. Wolf.Best of Opposite Sex, Ch. Pixies Princess Holly, bred, owned and shown by Carol A. Galavich, an orange Pom, proved worthy of her win.I want to personally thank Mr. Forrest McCoy, who too deserves a Blue Ribbon, for the fine entry he drew, and for his capable judging, which added greatly to the wonderful Specialty.Special thanks to Thelma Dunn, Goldie Mandley and Ann Cannon who hosted such a nice hospitality room. I also want to thank the many Pom exhibitors who came from far and near to help make our Specialty the success it was.12 POMERANIAN REVIEWJUDGES CRITIQUEby FORREST McCOYThe day I had looked forward to for months finally arrived. I had a very pleasant drive across the Pennsylvania Turnpike from Parkersburg, West Virginia. At our lovely motel I was joined by Mrs. McCoy, who had flown in earlier in the day from Florida. We spent a leisurely afternoon which included a delightful lunch on the motel patio. Much to both our regrets we had to stay away from all Pom festivities on Friday evening, missing out on all the gab fests, friendships renewed and good plain Pom talk. This is one of the prices a judge must pay.Saturday morning arrived with threatening skies and forecast of showers. With raincoats in hand we were off to the show. Thank goodness the showers never materialized Promptly at 1045 the large well groomed ring was available and the fun began.Since all winners will be listed in this issue I will not give the dogs names in my article. The 6-9 Mo. Puppy Dog Class was reduced to one by the absence of three entries. The winner was a nice orange who with maturity and training will be heard from in future showsPuppy Dog Class 9-12 Mo. had one entry and was very well coated for a young dog.The Bred By Exhibitor Dog class winner was an overall good specimen and honest competitor but could use additional training.Winner of the Open Black, Brown and Blue Dog class was won by a very cobby black who could do with more coat and I would like a more refined muzzle.From the Open Red, Orange, Cream and Sable Dog class I picked as my winner a dog which I had judged on previous occasions and had been unimpressed by his presence. This day he was in lovely condition and showed beautifully. His over-all appearance had changed so much that I did not recall ever seeing the entry before, having beeninformed of this by owner after the judging. He went on to Winners Dog although pressed very closely by the Black and the 6-9 Puppy Dog. Reserve Winners Dog went to the Black on a close decision.The Puppy Bitch 6 to 9 class was an excellent class. On this day the winner had that extra special all around balance to get the blue ribbon. I was surprised to learn later that my 1, 2, and 4 placements in this class were litter mates.Puppy Bitch 9-12 class had only one entry. She was a good bitch with excellent color.Novice Bitch and American Bred Bitch classes both had only one entry.The Bred by Exhibitor Class had nice entry, and I found my winner to be the best all around specimen and showed well. Could use more coat.My Open Black, Brown, and Blue Bitch class winner was won by a lovely black with ample coat and the most outstanding animation these eyes have seen for sometime.Open Bitch Red, Orange, Cream and Sable winner was a very honest bitch presented in a delightful manner.In the Open, Any Other Allowed Color, both entries could use more coat.It was indeed a pleasure to see the Veteran Bitch entry, just watching this lovely centenarian 16 years plus make her way around the ring was to me a most impressive sight and she received a well deserved round of applause. Did anyone notice the way she posed for her picture My personal thanks to Laura Reed for honoring me with the presence of this grand old lady of the Pom world.Winners Bitch was awarded to the lovely animated black bitch. Reserve Winners was the lovely bitch from the 6-9 puppy class. I will be most interested to see what maturity brings for this young gal.Best of Breed Competition was very keen. The specials were lovely and showing well though some certainly were not in prime coat. My choice on this day was a lovely orange dog, very well coatedPOMERANIAN REVIEW 13in excellent condition and a superb showman who asked for it all the time. My Best of Opposite Sex nod was given an overall well balanced bitch in good condition. Best of Winners was awarded to the winners bitch.jTfic ii Ir8ST OFS'FFCMichael Wolf, Breeder and Co-owner, handles Ch. Mike-Mars Triple Crown to the Best of Breed award under Specialty Judge Forrest McCoy, as American Pomeranian Club President Darrell W. Baker presents the Trophy. Triple Crown is also owned by Mrs. Walter Jeffords.I wish to thank the club for giving me the opportunity to officiate at this show. Thanks to the exhibitors for your presence which I know from experience is made possible by much effort. In closing, I say to all of you it was wonderful, I had a ball and hope to see each of you again soon.TWO NEW COLUMNISTSSue Goddard has agreed to take over the column from the Southeast Area until Kathryn Birk is able to resume her writing. Until next issue when we will have a complete new address, send all news to Sue at 2607 Azalea Drive, Beaufort, S.C. 29902.Marge Gorman has asked to be relieved of the Helpful Hints column because of her fulltime nursing work. Margaret McKee Mrs. John R. has consented to take over, and hints should be sent to her at 7660 Idlewyld Road, Richmond, VA 23225.Overall I felt the entries were good. In many classes I wished I had more than one blue ribbon to pass out. Many of the dogs, even though they were not the winners, I feel confident will be able to attain the CH. in front of their name. It just happens that in any show we have limited winners ribbons to pass out. Having bred Poms for many years I well realize August is not the best time of year for coats. Much to my delight I did not see excess of over-trimming on entries.This was a most enjoyable assignment that will long be remembered. After the show Mary and I attended the A.P.C. meeting and enjoyed the discussions in the meeting. The dinner was very enjoyable and the very relaxed atmosphere and good fellowship were most refreshing. The reunion with old friends, the meeting of new friends and the chance to chat in the hospitality room to the wee hours of Sunday morning was delightful.MORE ABOUT CUTSIn spite of the detailed explanation on Pages 48-49 of the October Review, people are still sending payment for ads WITHOUT the extra payment for the cut.

The small entry was attributed mostly to the hot dry summer which seemed to take its toll as so many Poms were out of coat, however, we did have majors in both sexes.The quality of Poms shown were excellent making it difficult for our judge, Mrs. Lois Holcomb, to make her decisions, however, she did a very good job and was quite thorough and considerate of each and every Pom which is always appreciated.Mrs. Holcomb placed her winner as follows Winners Dog and Best of Winners was AMBERILL EXTRA EXTRA owned by Christine Simpson. Winners Bitch was TOMANOLLS LIL MISS D-D OMAC owned by Opal Mosher. Best of Opposite Sex was CH. BAYNHAMS MS. AMANDA owned by Douglas Baynham. Best of Breed was CH. ROBINHOODS THIS TIME owned by Lee Grunewald and Verna Hood. Best Puppy was TOMANOLLS LITTLE MAN owned by Opal Mosher.Judge Lois Holcoml awards Best of Breed to Ch. Kobinhoods This Time, owned by Lee Grunewald Verna Hood and handled by John D. Metz.This show was held in Grand Prairie, Texas and everything worked out perfectly as the building was just the correct size for our show, was clean and attractive. After the judging was completed and the ring equipment was removed, tables and chairs were set up for the after-show dinner. The catering service arrived and the dinner got under way. There were 41 people present for the dinner. A few more had reservations but were unable to attend. It was a most pleasant and congenial group and everyone enjoyed the barbecued dinner.After the dinner almost everyone a few had other commitments retired to Carol Sherrys home for the Hospitality hour which was most enjoyable. Carol put in a lot of time and work in preparation of this event to make it pleasant and enjoyable for everyone. Carol and her husband, Len, prepared dips, cocktail meat balls cooked in wine and cocktail sausage balls. Chips, cold drinks and beer were also served, and those who wanted to, brought their own alcoholic beverages. There were door prizes for everyone, courtesy of Estell McDonald, which was a feeding bowl and an infant feeding tube for puppies that are too weak to nurse. There was also a number drawing for a door prize which was Pom Stationary won by Verna Hood.The only new Champion recently finished is THIS TIME FOR SURE OF POM GROVE owned by Frances Freeman and Lee Grunewald. Several other members have Poms that have several points which they hope to finish soon.Now that our fall show is behind us we are looking forward to our spring show in March 1978 which will include Puppy Sweepstakes which everyone seems to look forward to. Sweepstakes seems to be gaining in popularity all the time.POMERANIAN REVIEW 17PRAIRIE WIND POMERANIANSAll of us Mercers send sincere congratulations to Opal Mosher and her Tomanoll Pomeranians on their kennel visit.

Bear died quietly in his sleep at the age of 9 years, plus.This outstanding little Pomeranian son of our Champion Corns Duke Dragonfly and from a wonderful little Aristic mama named CHERRY was bom, along with his tiny baby sister by Caesarian section April 12, 1968. The Graves, Ralph and Joyce, had experience with dogs, having been breeders and exhibitors of Great Danes. This was, however, an entirely new experience. I must interject this bit of human interest that all Pomeranian people will most certainly understand and relate to they brought these tiny creatures, very fresh only a few hours old all the way to our home across town, wrapped lovingly in warm cloths and since they were not eating yet and the little mama was not perorming her duties well yet, we attached Baron and Skeeter onto a DACHSUND mother of ours whose faucets were dripping the great nourishment the babies needed. Both Baron and Skeeter latched on immediately and siphoned that neat Dachsie milk until they fell over backward with giant fat tummies. Later in their lives we all agreed this big juicy dinner probably got them off to a good start, possibly even saved their lives.Prom there, everything went beautifully. Both Poms finished Championship easily, and both reflected quality and excellence we all work toward. Baron was a precocious little guy seemingly destined for greatness.He began a career, expertly and lovingly handled by our good friend Sharon Griffin Dwier, and went on to become the Top Toy Dog in the Nation.POMERANIAN REVIEW 19One of his greatest and most exciting achievements was the win of the Toy Group at Madison Square Garden. We were there to see that great event the exact year escapes me and will long remember the thrill of watching and sharing the excitement. This was possibly almost surpassed a year or so ago 1976 when Little Baron was again at New York for the Special Showing of Veterans Group and Best in Show Winners of the Past at Westminster, again shown by Sharon, bringing a standing ovation and tears to lots of Pom people in the audience.Barons show record 95 Best of Breeds, 45 Group 1st, 15 Group 2nds, 15 Group 3rds, and 5 Group 4ths, with 12 All-Breed Bests in Show and 2 Specialty Best of Breeds.We all express our sympathy to Ralph and Joyce Gravesplease know BARON was a terrific little Pomeranian and will always be remembered with admiration.To Miss Opal Mosher One of the loveliest ladies in the world of Pomeranians.

I enjoy visiting with her and her father. On each of my visits, her father who is so thoughtful, always serves me a cup of hot chocolate.Opals home and kennels are located in Waco, Texas on a 115 acre tract of land, a part of which is in pasture where she keeps her cattle.It is a pleasure to visit a kennel as beautiful as hers it is air condtioned and connected to the house by a walkway. You walk into her office and on through to the kennels with her dog kennel being off to the right side and her boarding kennel to the left side, both of which have indoor and outdoor runs. She brings her bitches into the house when they are due to whelp and keeps the puppies in the house until weaning age.Opal is in the p'rocess of building a beautiful new home and kennels with additional new rims. Her new home will be closer to the kennels. The puppy room will be 16 x 18 which will be a kennel in itself. There will be a drain in the center of the floor to be hosed down for easy clearing. She also has a steam cleaner which thoroughly cleans and sterilizes her kennels.One of her good friends, a doctor, gave her a baby incubator for immature puppies which is temperature controlled so as to have the same temperature at all times also a pair of scales which weighs to a fraction of an ounce and a sterilizer. These will be put in her new puppy room.Opal has always loved animals, especially dogs, which started when she was a very small child and just grew. Two mongrels came into her life when she was just three years of age. They left a real and lasting impression on her youngmind when they decided that her mothers baby chickens would satisfy their appetite for a little Kal Kan. Needless to say, they had to be disposed of, but her fathers explanation of their disappearance was never quite satisfactory to her.-3VrMiss Opal Mosher is seen holding, 1. to r. Sire, Ch. Tominoil's Tiny Tornado, daughter Tomanolls Chatter Box and dam, Tomanolls Tiny Tiffany All in the family.Dogs for some reason always had a way of taking up with her. As a child walking home from school, she collected them much as The Pied Piper collected his rats. Her mother had to continually insist that she return them to their rightful owners.The first purebred that she owned was a white male Boxer. He was given to her by some college girls out for their evening exercise, and it was a question as to whether the dog really belonged to them.

Needless to say she was not show quality hut Opal raised one litter of puppies from her and got the bug for raising puppies.Front view of Tomanoll Kennel, Boarding Area.Opal got her first good Collie from Mr. Steve Fields about twenty-five years ago, a very good bitch and a good individual. She showed Collies for a number of years but never with serious effort. They were a bit too large for her to carry to shows, but she still has some very nice Collies and raises an occasional litter. Nothing gives her more pleasure than watchng a good litter of puppies as they develope and grow.While at a dog show in Austin, Texas she stood at ringside watching Gladys Schoenberg show her Ch. Aristic Wee Pepper Pod. She became convinced that she must some day own a kennel of those lovely little dogs.Some years later she acquired her first Pomeranians. This acquisition was quite by accident. Mrs. Orpha White, a very good friend of Opals, expressed a desire to start a kennel of toys. At Opals suggestion she purchased a nice little girl from Mrs. McDougall in Fort Worth, Texas. From this purchase came a rathernice kennel of Pomeranians. Due to illness and the death of her husband, Mrs. White turned the dogs over to Opal for several months. She finally decided to let Opal have a part of her dogs.Opal later acquired a little bitch sired by Cloningers Ch. Aristic Little Pepper Pod. This little girl whelped twice and lost both litters. Some time later she bred her to a male sired by Ch. Maykens Lil China Boy. The puppy from this breeding was bom by caesarean section that resulted in the death of the little bitch from a blood clot in her heart. Opal raised the puppy by hand and named him Tomanolls Tinker Toys Tiger. This little guy was at eight months later to go Winners Dog from the 6-9 months puppy class at the American Pomeranian Club Specialty in New York under judge Alva Rosenberg. Opal had just lost her mother previous to this show and was very despondent and had lost all interest in everything. The superintendent at the school where Opal was teaching had given her permission to take time away from school to go to the Pomeranian Specialty thinking it would help her. This win wth her Tomanolls Tinker Toys Tiger shocked her back into reality. Tiger launched the Pomeranian part of her kennel and is still Top Dog at the Tomanoll Kennels and is something special to Opal, and is still siring good ones. Opal has several nice bitches from him.Vm' 33Bear view of kennel with Opal, two little friends and some Poms in the exercise area.POMERANIAN REVIEW 23CH.

Tomanolls Wee Go-Go Girl, who won Winers Bitch at The Garden in 1972. She hred her hack to her sire Ch. Edwards Reddy Cash and produced one male puppy who is now Ch. Tomanolls Go-Gos Wee Gigolo. A later breeding to Ch. Lil Red Baron of OKala produced two puppies, one of which is now Ch. Tomanolls Tiny Town Talk. He finished for his title in less than two months before he was eleven months of age, defeating champions while being shown from the puppy class. At this time he has gone Best of Breed 49 times and placed in Toy Group 14 times. Tomanolls Stormy Weather and little friend. Stormy will be sixteen years old in January.About twelve years ago Opal added Shetland Sheepdogs to her kennel, and now has a rather nice kennel of these little dogs that have given her a lot of personal satisfaction and pleasure. Opal has high hopes for some of the breeding that she is now working within this breed and hopes to become a serious contender in this breed in the future.Opal is an authority on Genetics and she has spent hours lecturing and explaining this fascinating subject to me which has really been worthwhile to me. I could listen to her for hours on end. Opal has given lectures on Genetics to several different groups.J3V--TomanollsMe-Me and Friend. Visiting1 is fun for everybodyOne of my greatest delights is to handle .Opals dogs in the conformation ring. Win or lose, Opal is always so enthusiastic about the sport of showing dogs and never so kennel blind as not to see the outstanding dogs bred by other breeders. To me, this makes it more enjoyable as a handler-breeder-friend.When she fell and broke her hip a short time ago, she called on me to take care of her most valuable bitches who were in whelp. I felt it an honor that she trusted me to take care of them.Besides her breeding efforts, Opal was more or less by accident pushed, a few years ago, into the boarding business. At this time she has an air conditioned kennel with twenty indoor runs and corresponding outdoor runs. The boarding business has improved each year and at times Opal finds herself holding the overflow in her arms during the vacation season.Opal teaches an obedience class one night each week which is a real source of pleasure for her. Next to her love of dogs, is people, and working with people and their dogs has been very rewarding to her.POMERANIAN REVIEW 25SCOTIA KENNELS, Reg.wishes to CongratulateOpal Mosher on her Kennel VisitTwo more champions, making 6 for year 1977.

DAVID S. KRONFELD PhD., D.Sc., MVSc.Professor and Chief of the Nutrition Section, University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary MedicineReprinted from the July, 1977 issue of Pure Bred Dogs, American Kennel Gazette by permission of the Editor.Note We regret that because of the length of this article it will have to be printed in several installments. Breeders of dogs soon learn that the performance of a bitch or pup is powerfully influenced by its food. This is demonstrated in the number of pups whelped and weaned, growth rate, condition, skin, coat, bones and trips to the winners circle. Top breeders are interested not only in feeding for survival and freedom from disease but also in feeding to promote health and to attain a high level of performance.A GENERAL APPROACHThe type of dog and the desired level of performance combine to determine requirements for food energy and nutrients. These are met by the diet and appropriate feeding management.Dogtype, breed, size, psyche, age, sex,health, diseasePerformancemaintenance, gestation, lactation,growth, hard workManagementfeeding, housing, worming, etc.Total of above determineDietingredients, composition, analysisRequirementsenergy and nutrients.THE DOGThe BREED has little influence on nutrition, with a few exceptions. Somebreeds remain loyal to carnivorous heritage and do not readily accept pre- dominently cereal diets, e.g. the Poodle. Others will consume cereals but do not digest the starch well. They produce abundant pale foamy feces which they recycle, a habit know as copreophagy. This makes good sense in regard to digestion, but some people find the consumption of feces to be somewhat distasteful. The more primitive breeds are the most frequent offenders, e.g., German Shepherds and Huskies.The SIZE of the dog is very important, especially in regard to food energy intake. One often hears that a dog should eat about 2 of its body weight in the form of dry food. That rule holds only for an average healthy adult dog, seden- tanry or nearly so, weighing about 30 lb. and fed a relatively low energy cereal- based dry food in comfortable surroundings. A dog which weighs 15 lbs. needs about 2.5 and one weighing 90 lb. needs only 1.5. In other words, the dry matter or energy intake is not a simple function of body weight. Small dogs need relatively more energy because they have a relatively greater sur- fac for heat loss per unit of body weight. This is evident in Table 1 which recommends daily intakes of the four main types of commercial dog foods. These intakes are for the maintenance of average, healthy, resting adults. Editors Note This table has been modified to show ONLY the three lowest body weights and, for contrast, that of a 66 lb. dog.PERFORMANCEThe National Research Councils Nutrient Requirements for Dogs recommends the same minimum requirements of essential nutrients for all levels of performance. Only the level of energy intake changes. This is most conveniently expressed as multiples of maintenance M, as shown in table 2. In 1969 the Federal Trade Commission accepted the NRC position and declared all dog foods which meet the NRC miniPOMERANIAN REVIEW 31mum requirements of essential nutrients for maintenance to be equal.If the NRC and FTC are right, then some dog foods are more equal than others. Manufacturers and their customers seem to agree that there should be different products for special purposes, e.g., growth, breeding, or hard work. These contain more protein and fat than is found in dry dog foods.It is possible to obtain any desired proportions of protein, fat and carbohydrate by mixing dry cereal-based products with canned meat-based products. This is the system which I recommend. For undemanding situations, such as maintenance, one uses the less expensive cereal products. For more performance, I blend in more meat. This improves palatability, digestion, absorption, and efficiency of utilization of nutrients.The American Association of Feed Control Officials has a set of protocols for testing pet foods. One product is fed through growth, or gestation and lactation, or the whole life cycle. Observations are made on growth rate, skin condition, every illness and medication, and red blood cells. These protocols were developed by veterinarians and nutritional scientists in the pet food companies. They reflect the facts that the red cells of the dog are exquisitely sensitive to dietary protein and that the bitch will lose weight during lactation unless she is fed a diet which is palatable and efficiently digested. AAFCO allows a 10 deviation from pre-pregnant weight at whelping and a 15 deviation at weaning. How many of you would tolerate a 15 weight loss in a valuable bitchMost of the adverse criticism which led to the AAFCO protocols was aimed at meat-based products. It has turned out, however, that products which are rich in animal fat and meat readily met the standards, while cereal-based products were more liable to fail. Nearly all of the best-sellers increased their protein contents from about 23 to about 28 dry basis and the fat content fromabout 5 to 10, the point at which fat will bleed through paper wrappings. These higher levels of fat and protein are needed to meet protocol requirements for growth, gestation and lactation. Then companies which had upgraded their main lines brought out new cereal products containing only 15 protein and 4 fat, intended for maintenance only.I have reservations about feeding the least expensive, low protein and low fat products to dogs held at maintenance between breedings. Maintenance is simply not a good test of nutritional merit all foods look alike because the dog is not asked to do anything. Nutritional inferiority remains present but unexpressed. What latent or subclinical deficiencies may she harbor on a marginal diet Recent tests have shown widespread subclinical iron deficiency in women, for example. Red cells reflect the chemical form of dietary iron and the quality as well as the quantity of protein, especially when protein content is low. In our studies of racing sled dogs, the greatest difference in red cell parameters between a diet of 40 and 53 protein was expressed after six months of feeding. If I had any dog with prospects of high performance, I would keep its proten over 30 and fat over 15 during maintenance periods interspersed through its life.ENERGY AND NUTRIENT REQUIREMENTSThe 1974 NRC recommends optimal requirements for food energy and minimal requirements for 26 nutrients. These are protein, fat, linoleic acid the main polyunsaturated fatty acid, 11 minerals and 12 vitamins. The 1972 NRC also recommended UPPER LIMITS for carbohydrate, protein and polyunsaturates. The simplest approach to a complete or balanced ration is to provide an optimal amount of food energy plus minimal requirements of essential nutrients without exceeding any maximal or toxic Continued on Page 7232 POMERANIAN REVIEWCIRCULATIONMANAGERMRS.

We will hold our show this year with the South Shore Kennel Club Show on Saturday, April 15, 1978. The location is the Bay State Raceway in Foxboro, Massachusetts. We will have a separate area for Pom exhibitors, as well as an area for our annual buffet. Additional information is available elsewhere in this issue. Our Fall match was held on Sept. 10 at the Foxboro, Massachusetts, home of Charles and Amy McKay. Our good fortune of sunny matches was broken by heavy rains, which upset the obedience entries. Judge Ruth Terrys choice for Best in Match was an orange sable bitch which had been Best Puppy at our Spring Match Topaze Mary Fris- kie, owned by Francis Casey. Best Puppy in Match was a 10 week old orange sable male, Patrick, owned by Jessie and Barbara Young.Congratulations to Nancy Vayo of Saco, Maine, whose clear orange male, Topaze Acie Ducie, finished his championship at the Vacationland Dog Club Show in Scarborough, Maine. Acie is Nancys first champion and was entirely owner- handled to his title. He is the third dog from his litter to finish.Another orange male is nearing his championship Jabils Jiminy Cricket, owned by Virgina and Robert Claar and handled by Ginny, has come within a major of finishing. Jiminy was Winners Dog at the Cheshire County, Wachusett and Greater Lowell shows.Francis Caseys sable bitch, Topaze Mary Friskie, was W.B. and B.W. for 1 point at Lewiston-Auburn, and W.B. for two points at Vacationland.We also have a new obedience titlist Robinsons Wee Wolf, owned by Judith Robinson, earned his C.D. in three straight shows this summer, scoring 192, 195 and 198, finishing on his third birthday.POMERANIAN REVIEW 33POMERANIAN CLUB OF GREATER DES MOINESBy TONY SHORT 2850 E. Douglas Des Moines, Iowa 50317Well 1977 was quite a year for our club. It started out by being refused for A match status by the AKC, and ended up not only being approved but holding our first A match on November 5th. Now looking forward to 1978 we have a very busy schedule to try for. Our second A match will be in May and we HOPE that we can have our first show in September We know that this may be rushing things a bit but we are still planning on it and will do everything in our power to make it work.One thing that could help us is that four of the Des Moines area Specialty Clubs have gone together and are planning to hold a combined show on Friday night before the Des Moines show. Because we have been active in the formation of this combined club, they have asked us to sit in on their meetings even though we have not reached show status yet. This is a great chance for us and our Poms the possibility of three major shows on one weekend all with in 30 miles of each other.In September we had our annual meeting and the following officers were elected to officePresident ________ Beulah HochstedlerVice-President __________ Betty ShortTreasurer ____________ Gwen HodsonSecretary ______________ Tony ShortBoard Members Bonnie Hodson, Joyce Grimm, Leona Rhoads, Patricia Miller, and Wilmer Lyons.Our first A match as mentioned above was held on November 5th in the West Des Moines Community Center. I feel that we had a good turnout considering the fact that we had less then 4 weeks from approval to day of match. Our judge was Darrel Smith from Des Moines and he did a very good job andhad some real tough decisions to make.

I agree with Darrell 100 and would like to see more clubs hosting it. Dont be afraid to ask or to try. No club could start with less experience than we did. And I cant begin to describe the interest that is generated in the club as your plans take shape. We did not have a single question that was not answered by either the APC winter show commit tee, the show superintendent, the Des Moines Kennel Club, or the Motel where we had our hospitality room. So you can see that you can get all kinds of expert advice even if your club members lack experience or have never put on a show. Our club offers our help in any way we can. We have kept a record of everything that we did. We will make these records available to any club that might want to use them for ideas.We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.AMERICANPOMERANIAN CLUB, INC.This club is devoted to encouraging the owning, breeding and exhibiting of the Pomeranian dog and the protection and advancement of the breed.We are currently offering membership to all who are interested in these principles and aims.If you are interested in joining the Club, please contact the Secretary, or if you only wish to subscribe to the Review contact the circulation manager.

Greer16 POMERANIAN REVIEWPUGET SOUND POMERANIAN CLUBBy J. M. STEPHENSBy the time you all read this column, we will he on our way East after a stay in Georgia. Perhaps we may he able to meet with Pom people in this area and get to know some more of the good people we have met in this breed. To the people in the area we will say a sad farewell, we have enjoyed all the hospitality that has been so freely given. I always like to think that dogs bring out the best in people, they do certainly make friends for you this we know. Many breeders have made our stay worthwhile and the knowledge we have gained will be accepted in the future and we will remember all the good advice we have been given and try and live up to the standards that these people have set. I sincerely hope that we can communicate with them over the coming years. It is nice to keep in touch. I wish sincerely that some of the older breeders would be remembered more, letters and a phone call mean a lot, we will all be in that position at some time and I hope I will be getting letters and a call now and again, so remember them now, while they can appreciate it. We made an exciting trip to Albemi, Canada, with our Golden Glow Poms and had a good weekend bringing home 9 points in all, a Best Puppy, WD three days and WB and BOS to Specials. Cinnamon Banner is still doing his thing winning the Breed and placing in the Group, a lovely Pom indeed. 1978 will see a whole new crop of new hopefuls for the ring. Phyllis Andrews has a lovely puppy dog, watch for him. Erin Hundley has two new babies by Jabils Extra Special. They look very promising.Irene Harbin, who has been doing all the winning with her little female Andrews Almost An Angel, and her home bred male Harbins Indestructible Jim. He took the breed on the hop three times. She has a lovely little female siredby The late Golden Glow Tigre, the sire of so many really beautiful Poms, Good luck Tigger, I wish you well.Mary and Byrl Rosenbaum, have some puppies sired by Rebelsun Spark. Also Mary will have a surprise for you with another puppy. Hope he turns out to be all you hope Mary. I hear Helen Krafcik has a female by Cinnamon Banner who looks good. So you see if you all get together, we will have some Poms to be proud of. Share of your knowledge and get together in the spirit of Xmas always, you are all grand people. Lets see the Puget Sound Pomeranian Club go forward and eventually have their so hoped for point show. It can be done. You people are great, just get together more and share.Wins around here have been mostly the same. We have not had a great turnout recently, so I hope that 78 will bring you all out with all these good Poms. Banner has been the top winner around here when shown, and is unbeaten to date.I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. McGilbry for their friendship and advice given so freely, and I will sure miss all the lovely Poms they now have coming along. They really have some top puppies in their kennel, with fabulous coats. Elva is still very much interested in the Pom and is still a breeder to be contended with. I would have not missed meeting with them for anything, and will miss them more than I can say but we will keep in touch and I am proud to have some of her lovely dogs to take East with me. Thank you both, you are the greatest.So to all Pom Lovers everywhere, a belated Happy Xmas and lots of luck in the New Year, to the people in this area, thanks for everything, we have loved you all.

This is the perfect location for a match the size of ours, although there was room for plenty more entrants. Tho the numbers were few, I must say, the cream of the crop was there. From hearsay and from my own experience, I know this was a bad year for puppies. This was evidenced by the fact that there were no Jr. puppies present. With puppies so hard to come by, I can -understand why the little ones would have stayed at home, if indeed anyone had any. Our youngest was bom last December and he was in the 9-12 month class. I would like to give credit to all who attended, but I am limited by space, so my sincere thanks will have to suffice.Our judge, Mrs. Gerry Brewer, chose as her Best Senior Puppy, a lovely little boy from the 6-9 month class Mi Tiny Tim owned by Nellie Sprunger. Best Adult Pom was a little man who was fortunate enough to be wearing a full coat at this time of the year Lordonns Patrick owned by Borin Mohn. Featured in the Parade of Champions was that famous little lady Im sure we have all heard about by now Ch. Marlorns Chocolate Chip owned by Mary Loren Straslicka.The winner of the 31 piece set of Libby Glass ware was Nellie Sprunger. It was a sort of door prize for which all exhibitors were given a chance. Congratulations to all winners and many, many thanks to all who showed up to really make our day. After the drawing, the Mohns treated us all to a fine dinner which really hit the spot. Donna is a terrific cook as many times as Ive been in Toledo, I have never come home hungry. I would also like to thank all the Continued on Page 70EDITORIALWith his thumb, a hitchhiker says, You furnish the gas, car, attend to the upkeep and repairs, supply the insurance, and Ill ride with you. But if you have an accident, Ill sue you for damages.It sounds pretty one-sided, but one does wonder how many hitchhikers there are in many organizations and associations. So many members seem to say, You go to the meetings, serve on boards and committees, do the paperwork, study the issues, contact the judges and take care of all the things that need doing, and Ill go along for the ride. If things dont suit my fancy, Ill complain, criticize and may get out and hitchhike with another group .The paragraphs above are borrowed from the Japanese Chin Clubs Gazette column. They in turn had appropriated them from another source, and the actual author is unknown.In almost every dog oriented organization, the number of Drivers can be counted on the fingers. Not only is the total small and fairly constant, but in many instances the names remain the same year after year after year.So it is in the American Pomeranian Club. If members were to take pen in hand and jot down a list of workers serving our Club, the short list might not even include every officer and Board member, but it would certainly make mention of a few additional members whose essential jobs are done quietly, competently and faithfully.Not every member can serve on the Board there are only 12 positions available. Only a few can BE THERE in person to do a given job, be it that of Show Chairman, Circulation Manager of the Review or what have you. But EVERY MEMBER can contribute SOMETHING besides Annual Dues.To go back to our original analogy, the hitchhiker can buy a tankful of gasoline, take a turn at the wheel or at the very least read the road map.

D. is SILVAKRESS VIVA, trained by her owner, Claudia J. Frank of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. Congratulations to Viva and Claudia on their accomplishment, whch we know indicates much hard work and concentration. Claudia writesI am very proud to announce that my Pomeranian bitch, Silvakress Viva recently completed her TRACKING DOG DEGREE pending AKC conf.. She passed her tracking test, the first try, at a Tracking Trial sponsored by the Twin Cities Obedience Training Club in Minnesota on October 2nd.Viva is a 4^4 lb. plump ball of shaded orange energy. She is sired by Ch. D-Nees Darin Dinadan out of my own bitch, Gala Rockys Fluf n Puff, C.D.. She was whelped on Friday the 13th of August in 1976, which means she is 14 months old . . . and not unluckyAfter completion of Galas C.D. degree and before her breeding I had begun some tracking work with her. Unfortunately I did not go about the training in the correct manner and never could quite convince her, after using my husband at the end of the trail as the reward, that she wasnt looking for someone out there. At this point I began reading Glen Johnsons great book, Tracking, Theory and Method. I read and reread this very thorough and complete book during the very cold winter we had here. In the spring it becameevident that Viva, with her tremendous energy and eager eater attitude, wanted to be my tracker. We began working on a regular basis and moved to a new home located in an area of abundant fields and willing land owners.Viva progressed with her training with vim and vigor eagerly awaiting lessons each day. We halved the distances scheduled in Mr. Johnsons book and stayed on the recommended days lesson until it was mastered. Many times it took us several days to accomplish what was shown for a single day in the book. At time I became very discouraged especially with the introduction of the turn but Vivas obvious enjoyment at this type of work kept us going out each day.We were very fortunate in that a Glen Johnson Tracking Clinic was sponsored by a group in the EauClaire, Wisconsin area in June. Up until that time I had not seen dogs track except my own. Mr. Johnsons presentation was super. He combined classroom time with actual working in the fields and presented films of various types of scent work after the evening dinner. It was very enlightening to actually see how dogs handle different situations and be able to ask questions as they came to mind.Viva and I continued our six day week practice sessions and made a jaunt to Minneapolis, Minnesota in August for our certification test. Mr. Robert Gates, an AKC tracking judge, very graciously spent both Friday evening and Saturday morning working with us. After the four hour drive to Minnesota and a change in soil conditions Viva didnt seem to realize that she was supposed to track on Friday evening and just barked and ate grass. Saturday morning however, she did get it together to earn her certification certificate.We then immediately sent in our entry to the test as they only accept ten competitors.I was up at 300 a.m. the day of the test with a case of nerves but fortunately we drew number one track and werePOMERANIAN REVIEW 51New Location New DateThe Bay Colony Pomeranian Club Specialty ShowTo be held in conjunction with South Shore K.

Weather conditions were just perfect and Viva worked without a hitch, making her on and off track indications very clear and only getting tangled in the under brush a couple of times. Seeing her stop and nuzzle the glove was the best sight in the world. It was a wonderful feeling to feel the sincere warmth of the judges congratulations and see the other contestants and spectators leap and cheer for joy as I threw the glove into the air.There sure is a definite feeling of brotherhood at the test and everyone entered was just as thrilled with each dog that passed as they were when their own dog reached his goal. Each contestant knew what work went into the earning of that degree.Viva never gave up as she leaped and crashed through high brush and weeds. As we waited for our track to reach the appropriate age I stretched out the line and got the harness ready. She would stand up on her hind legs and look out over the fields and cry, picking up the harness and carrying it to me to put her into.Though she did have to work at learning the existence of turns she always tried and though our progress was slow we made itViva is now going into obedience work and I hope to add a UD to her name as the years pass. She also picked up 2 pts. from the Puppy Class last spring.Gala has gone through learning all the Open exercises and hopefully will add a CDX to her name next spring.My two Poms are little jewels and capable of learning anything I am capable of learning how to teach them. I cannot say how much I appreciate their eager willingness to try whatever I present. I am sure mother Pomeranians must tell their babies just after birth, all the cute things to do.Congratulations also to COYS TINY TERROR BANNER, the Pom now proudly adding U.D. to his name. Thislittle fellow is owned and trained by Martha Sackenheim of Hamilton, Ohio. The third U.D. leg was earned at Indianapolis where Banner was second in a class of 16. This pair has worked very hard and the Utility degree is truly a crowning glory. Martha saysI bought Banner when he was six weeks old. His obedience training began not long after that. It wasnt our formal training, it was fun for us. He liked to retrieve so I had a great opportunity to teach him to carry different types of materials. He had a little rubber ball, stuffed sock, dumbell not the one we worked with and a squeaky toy. During our games Banner learned sit, take it, hold it, let go, down, find it, come, stay, and to drop the toy in my hand and not on the floor. We did this gradually, adding a new command once he knew what the others meant. Another phrase he learned to understand was You stay here, Ill be back. Whenever he was left at home or with family who would dog-sit Id tell him this. When we started Open training it was a big help in steadying him on the Long Sit and Long Down while I was out of sight.I have learned, too. My next Pom will have a metal toy and a glove added to its list of playthings. I will use go out instead of just out when I want him to go outside or to leave the room. This will be an early start on Utility.Now that Banner has his U.D. I feel good because I DID IT. It took a lot of patience, practice and praise. It was fun and work, happy tears and frustration, good scores and flubs and a lot of near misses. I was determined through it all and now have my first U.D. In a few years Ill start all over and feel good again.Angie Ruiz in Puerto Rico is very busy training her Poms. Her black female, SEL-SALS PEPPER OF P.R. made her second C.D. leg, taking first place in Novice B with a score of 191. This was at the Puerto Rico Dog Obedience Club trial on Oct. 29, 1977.POMERANIAN REVIEW 55Editors Note In the January 1977 issue of the Review, we included an article on Tracking authored hy Yours Truly. At the end, the hope was expressed that someone would find the time and the courage to put another Pom through to a T.D. or a U.D.T. in the near future. No Pom had passed Tracking since 1960. Well, no sooner was that issue on the press and beyond correction, than the December issue of Pure-Bred Dogs, AKC Gazette arrived. It contained the welcome news that another Pom had indeed passed a Tracking Test in October This Pom was again a female, Pombrooks Song Keena, C.D.X., owned by Jessica Lynne Smith, T.D. 6. Then began the detective work to contact Ms. Smith and, hopefully, get her story on earning the Tracking Degree. This surprise was prematurely promised for the July issue, still not available for October, and to our most sincere regret although diligence had secured the address of the owner and a letter had been sent out requesting the article nothing has arrived for January.Imagine OUR surprise when we received a copy of the delightful article above telling of the successful completion of the 7th Pom T.D.H Congratulations to Mrs. Prank and Viva, and may your C.D., C.D.X. and U.D. follow in rapid successionREMINDERThe Club has a very complete Information Booklet about the American Pomeranian Club, Inc. and about our breed.

Dont be surprised to see another Pom specialty in their area before too many years go by.The match following the meeting and dinner showed some very nice puppies that should do well in the ring soon. When the judging was complete Mrs. Clara Wiese gave a demonstration on grooming and I learned a new technique for doing ears that beats any Ive tried so far.I twisted Pat Clarks arm a bit and came home with a puppy sired by her Patri-Arks Stardust of Mercer.

So, being from Florida, as the saying goes the south shall rise again.Kathryn has been feeling poorly for about eighteen months. It all started in April 1976 while in England. The first week there she had pneumonia, and things have been going down hill ever since then. Not willing to give up, she just kept pushing and going and doing. One week before Harrisburg, she came down with the flu. By Thursday she felt OK, and away she went. When I met her Sunday night, at the airport, she looked like death, walking down the ramp. By this time, enough was enough, so a trip to the doctor. The result, Monday September 19th found her a patient in the hospital. There was not too much wrong with her, just excess body fluid, fluid in the lung, enlarged heart beating too fast and very irregular. The response to medication was tremendous, and she was released September 28th, feeling better than she had for years. With medication, she was permitted come, go, and do as she pleased. We were making plans.Then came the blow. Three days later on Saturday morning, I got up to go to work at 645 A.M. It seemed strange that all the lights were on, the TV on but no picture, but out to the kitchen I went to let the dogs out. At the back door she lay on the floor, just staring at me. She just looked, not saying a word. At first I thought she had fainted, or worse yet, a heart attack. Got her to the hospital and learned it was a stroke clot, not a hemorrhage. A week was spent in intensive care, critical, but stable. In five days she was on solid food, but her entire right side was paralyzed and she had lost her speech. She will walk and will talk again, and therapy has started on the body and the voice. All ready a few words, and movement in the foot.POMERANIAN REVIEW 61OUR NEWEST CHAMPIONHACH.

VOA IHO, CanadaA sincere hope that you had a glorious Christmas, and are in the midst of a fun holiday to celebrate the New Year while you are reading this. As November closes in on us and the snows fall daily, making our mountain retreat an extra beautiful sight. I am reminded that the oldtimers tell us we can expect a snowfall as great as 400 inches or as little as 30 inches, depending on the vagaries of nature, and Id be willing to bet on the large amount the way it has started.The registration fee that I paid for the recent symposium in Calgary, on Canine Structure and Movement, might prove to be the very best investment I have made for a long while. The two speakers were Dr. Quentin La Ham and Mrs. Rachel Page Elliot. Basically Dr. La Ham was to talk on structure and Mrs. Elliot on movement but they are so interrelated that the information continually blended together. Mrs. Elliots book, Dogsteps, is one I have had for a long time, and is well thumbed. Her new films, showing bones moving inside dogs with the use of x-ray techniques were fascinating, and certainly made me realize exactly what was taking place, as the films were slowed, stopped, or run at normal speeds to emphasize particular points under discussion. Dr. La Ham had brought the skeleton of one of his better German Shepherd dogs with him, and as we went over it thoroughly, and then let us do the same, the various bones, and their companions began to continued and films were shown to emphasize points, we began to see the meanings of obscure terms in many of our standards.

The first was a seminar on eye diseases in dogs. At that time we were shown excellent slides of many eyes, showing normal eyes and affected eyes ... As I had noticed a very unusual phenomenon when a light hit the eyes of a certain line of breeding in my Poms, I had the most noticeable one tested, and learned to my relief, that rather than a problem, it was just an unusually large opening in the eye through which we were seeing a very deeply colored retina. I was also told at this time that although PRA is not common in Pomeranians, it should not be ignored for it can occur. One thing I have noticed about some Poms, which worries me is a tendency to be afraid to cross a shadow. I would not hesitate to have eyes tested should one of mine show this fear. I do not think it can be explained just as shyness in the individual, more likely it is an eye problem.I would like to know if someone could not write up some hints and personal methods of spring cleaning in the dog runs, so that when spring does come we are armed with this knowledge and ready to not only keep the odors to a minimum, but also to fight more effectively those persistant parasites. I know our varieties of weather mean some of the problems are unique to certain areas, but in this area I seem to have run into most of them, and would appreciate some experienced help.Have I got all the bloodthirsty yearlings, who delight in attacking the retired matrons, whose lack of teeth is their downfall And they are such loveable puffballs the rest of the timeRINGSIDE ContinuedJUST A LITTLE NOTE THAT THIS BILL WAS PASSED BEFORE ANY DOG PERSONS KNEW IT HAPPENED.

The Whidbey Island Kennel Club Show, Sunday Nov. 20th is special because Edd Biven is judging Pomeranians. Anyone who has had the priviledge of showing under him can tell you what a careful and conscientious judge he is. Our show schedule arrived the other day. Its a major in dogs. Thats good news. So many nice Poms finished earlier this year, that the entries have been down at the last few shows.The last big U.S. show to be held in the Northwest this year will be the Columbia Pomeranian Club Specialty which is held in conjunction with the Portland Kennel Club Show. This is a benched show and one of our favorites. We always enjoy having time to meet our friends and to relax and compare Pom stories. The judge will be Frank Haze Burch. Major in both sexes. I had an especially good time at the Penninsula Dog Fanciers Show at Bremerton WA. in Sept. My dog did not win but he showed well and I was proud of him. But that was not why I enjoyed myself so much. Everyone, from the judge, William Harvey, to the spectators and the exhibitors, did their part to make it a fun show. Judge William Harvey set the tone by having a nice word for each exhibitor, regardless of how he placed their dog. He made each one feel special for their few minutes in the ring.You know you spend weeks preparing for the show, planning, training, grooming, not to mention all of those hoursPOMERANIAN REVIEW 67MANIESS POMERANIANSAristic Flaming Model Am.

Details in the local club column.Other fun things in this area include a visit by some Puget Sound Club members, to the Pierce County Pom Club meeting in October. They enjoyed the visit very much. On the club adjenda was a study of pedigrees, with Helen Krafcik who is currently President of the P.C.P.C. She is quite an expert on this. She has collected pedigrees for many years and has them all filed for easy reference. The Puget Sound Pomeranian Club has invited her to visit at their next meeting and share her knowledge with the members.I received a nice letter from Donna Harris it was very welcome. We havent heard much from Donna since we enjoyed her company at the Northern California Pom Club Specialty last year. It seems that Donna has found a new way to keep herself busy. In addition to raising a large family, and going out fishing with the whole family, Donna has gone into the custom jewelry- business. She started with some raw materials purchased in Seattle on her way back to Cordova, Alaska, after the specialty, and took a few lessons. The business prospered beyond all her wildest dreams. Within a few months, she had to move out of her back bedroom and into a shop of her own in town. She has expanded twice and is carrying several other lines including custom designed gold nugget jewelry and many boutique items. The sad part of this is that Donna has had to give up herbeloved Poms. She plans to keep one as a pet Donna could never do without a Pom. We all wish her well and hope she will drop in at the show or at a meeting whenever she is in town.I wish you all a blessed Holiday Season and a New Year just full of Gods gifts to you.

Best Opposite Sex went to Jestoms Golden Glow Heidi from the puppy class.Referring to his placement in the Open Dog Class Judge Biven said, In my opinion a Pom is a miniature Arctic Working Dog and should have enough length of leg to carry him through any weather conditions. A dense double coat, not too long, to keep him warm without becoming weighted down with snow. His muzzle should be long enough to warm the air he breathes before it enters his lungs.REMINDERSeveral checks came in this time, incorrectly made out.

A better approach for high performance is to regard the balance of a ration as that proportion of nutrients which is utilized with maximal efficiency. In practical situations, balance is achieved when each nutrient falls within an optimal range. The ranges are broad in situations that are undemanding, e.g., maintenance. They become narrower as nutritional demands increase, e.g., for growth, lactation, hard work. Optimal intakes of protein, calcium, phosphorus, etc., corresponding to designated performance levels have been recommended by NRC for cattle, pigs, and other animals but not for dogs. Not being subject to the constraints of a committee, I will tender some optimal ranges intended to promote higher performance.ENERGY intakes should be carefully controlled in breeding bitches. They reach about 1.5 M during the last 20 days of pregnancy and 3.0M during the first 20 days of lactation. The NRC makes no mention of changing the energy density or digestibility of the ration during ges- taton or lactation. The cereal companies assume the same position feed only dry food at the rate of 2 body weight for maintenance and 6 for lactation. Six percent I prefer that energy requirements above maintenance should be met predominantly by fat and protein rather than carbohydrate.CARBOHYDRATE intakes have not been carefully studied in pregnant or lactating bitches. The NRC admits that no minimum requirement has been established, then implies that carbohydrates may be essential in the diets of growing pups and lactating bitches. But, a recent study reaffirms that pups do not need carbohydrate. Also, our studies on racing sled dogs indicate that they prosper on zero carbohydrate diets at intakes four or five times maintenance, i.e., even higher than intakes of a lactating bitch. In regard to an upper limit, the 1972 NRC recommended 65 dry matter inthe form of carbohydrate. A carbohydrate content of 40 is too high for racing sled dogs. But the fact is that we do not know the optimal range of dietary carbohydrate for the lactating bitch I regard this as the most important current research question pertaining to feeding for breeding. Until further work is done, I suggest a wide range of 0 to 40 or a narrower range of 0 to 25 carbohydrate on a dry matter basis. The narrower range aims for higher performance.PROTEIN intakes for reproduction and lactation are pegged to the recommendation for maintenance and growth by NRC, 22 of dry matter in the form of a protein equivalent to casein. Studies in dogs suggest that this level is satisfactory for growth only if the energy density is low, corresponding to only 10 fat in the diet on a dry matter basis. Protein requirement varies with fat content, e.g. 10, 29 and 32 protein for 11, 22 and 31 fat. Also, one should keep in mind that the protein value net utilization of casein is about 70 in dogs while that of some cereal proteins e.g. gliadin is only about 35. Studies to determine the protein requirement for growth in dogs used mixtures of very high quality proteins.Dry cereal-based products have less fat but lower quality protein. I recommend supplementing them with fat and a source of high quality protein during the last 20 days of gestation and all of lactation. The first studies which showed that dietary protein promotes the rate of milk production were conducted on bitches. Nonetheless, the relevant literature lacks convincing data on the optimal range for gestation and lactation. I tentatively suggest a broad range from 25 to 55 and a narrower range from 32 to 48 dry matter in the form of protein, depending on its quality and the diets fat content.DIETARY FAT should be increased above the maintenance requirementPOMERANIAN REVIEW 73 STARLITE POMERANIANS Gayle L.

The energy density and more efficient digestion obtained by including more fat in the diet combine to let the bitch eat less, and even more drastically, defecate less. If fed 6 of her body weight in dry food, the amount of feces she must pass eachday is unnecessarily excessive, over 2 times as much as produced on a diet of meat and meat by-products e.g. liver, bone and fat. The wide range of diet fat content to which dogs have successfully adapted is 4 to 66 dry matter. A narrower range for gestation and lactation would be 10 to 40, and my recommendations would hover in the top half of that range for a bitch producing a lot of milk.74 POMERANIAN REVIEWZUMBA POMERANIANSZumbas Blueberry MuffinVSire Zumbas Wolfy of Boulder River Dam Boulder River Serene EbonyInquiries Always AnsweredMUFFYOur first BLUE femalewent first in Puppy Classat Rapid City Showfirst time shown.Wolfy Babies4U2 months oldPhyllis Zumbaum Ph. 605-673-4961R.R. 1, Box 89 Custer, S.D. 57730The ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids in the diet determining the ratio of these fatty acids in the subcutaneous fat. The saturated fats are firmer. This may have no advantage in regards to health, but it does influence some judges.Polunsaturates interact with vitamin E and selenium. The minimum requirement prescribed for LINOLEIC ACID,the predominant polyunsaturate, is 1 dry matter or 2 metabolizable energy. It could be higher in the pregnant bitch because the skin of the pup has a high content of structural lipids derived from the essential polyunsaturates.High intakes of polyunsaturates increase the requirement for vitamin E. Reproductive failure in bitches, musclePOMERANIAN REVIEW 75degeneration in pups, and testicular atrophy have all occurred in dogs fed about 10 polyunsaturated fatty acids. The 1972 recommended an upper limit of 5 polyunsaturate. This was especially wise in view of the widespread use of polyunsaturated oils as coat conditioners. The 1974 revision eliminated this recommendation but brought in another which also interacts with vitamin E, a minimum for selenium.The inclusion of SELENIUM as a required mineral is an interesting development for it continues to be regarded as a carcinogen by the FDA, hence is banned from food by the Delaney Amendment. The case of selenium is one of the most baffling, far more difficult than saccharin. Epidemiologic evidence indicates that the incidence of cancer is higher in regions which are low or marginal in soil selenium. Also, polyunsaturates which raise vitamin E requirements appear to be carcinogenic, so selenium which lowers vitamin E requirements might be expected to be anti-carcinogenic. The data on polyunsaturates promoting cancer in humans is not overwhelming, but taken along with the potentiation of chemical carcinogens in laboratory animals, it almost convinces me. The FDA pays more attention to a simpler experimental test, warts in bladders of mice, and in view of the Delaney amendment, it does not allow companies to add selenium to food. Yet both AAFCO and the FTC allow that a product may be described as complete, perfect, scientific or balanced only if it satisfies the minimum requirements of the NRC. These include selenium.Dogs have developed abnormalities on a diet deficient in selenium and vitamin E lesions of the digestive tract, bone and heart muscle. The recommended minimum for selenium, 0.1 mgkg dry diet, is based on studies in other species. The requirement for selenium will vary with intakes of polyunsaturates and vitamin E, and the margin of safety is small, probably a factor of 3 to 5.A diet containing 10 cottonseed oil and 100 mg alpha-tocopherol vitamin E was fed to bitches the pups developed muscle degeneration, despite the vitamin E. In other studies, pups were bom weak or dead. So the NRC proposes a minimum of 50 mg alpha-tocopherol 50 I U vitamin E per kg dry food provided it contains 0.1 mgkg of selenium and not more than 1 linoeic acid. If you add com oil, which is nearly 50 lin- oleic, you should also add more vitamin E. The NRC suggests 0.5 mg alpha-tocopherol per gram of polyunsaturated fatty acid linoleic.To be continuedGossip is that which no one claims to like but everybody enjoys.Joseph ConradIf you REALLY want to keep a secret, you dont need any help.O.

Why do they say one thing and do the opposite Do they have so few show prospects, that they have to send you a pet puppy for the price of a show prospect I hope someone will answer this and not pull any punches.Editors Note I will answer this as a BREEDER and hope some others will send answers for the next Review. Perhaps this will help the Novice.. Put your "best foot forward. Write your inquiry on a piece of stationery, available at reasonable prices at any drug store, super market, etc. So many inquiries are received on a lined piece of notebook paper, torn out and the letter itself just a scrawl, often the signature hard to decipher. The connection is inevitable can a person who cannot even afford to buy regular stationery really afford to buy, take care of and show a Top Pom2. Enclose a stamped, addressed envelope for the Breeders answer.3. Be prepared to pay a high price for a Good Pom. The Novice often has no concrete idea of going rates for show stock. Many letters are received describing a "brilliant red or orange, 4 lb., heavy coat, tiny ears, short back and high tail set and with perfect legs Pom, but going on to say something like, I have 200 saved up, will that be enough, etc., etc.4. If, on the other hand, you have followed the advice above and your letter comes through as a sincere desire to find a Top Show Pom for a start in the breed, but unmistake- ably you ARE a complete Novice, a Breeder may want to help you get started and offers the good advice to start with a promising young puppy.5. Yes, Top Show Prospects ARE few and far between. It is said that 1 puppy in 7 might be show potential. This includes those which can finish to the title, if campaigned, as well as the Group and Best In Show flier you are dreaming about. Dont blame the Breeder for wanting to keep or to put in a Proven Exhibitors hands the very best.6. If the Breeder has a young, promising puppy and offers it to you, certainly at a lesser price than the older Show Prospect,remember that nothing ventured, nothing gained in this life, and if you have found that Breeders stock to be what you admire, trust the Breeders educated guess and gamble on the puppy. If it doesnt mature as well as hoped, you can recoup some of your loss by selling as a pet, and start over. Meanwhile, LOOK, LISTEN and LEARN about the breed.7. There is no excuse for selling a pet puppy for the price of a Show Prospect but do you really know what that particular Breeders pet andor Show Prospect prices are This goes back to 6. If you have seen and admired this Breeders stock, you have to believe that the Breeder can evaluate puppy potential better than you can. Many puppies go through a Gosh-Awful stage of development and should not be sold at that time. SOUNDNESS, however, is a different matter. The Breeder should certainly be willing to give you a 48 hour WRITTEN GUARANTEE pending Veterinary Examination. Some Breeders will offer a Full Refund of Purchase Price, some will offer to replace the puppy if and when something becomes available. If you cannot afford to have your money tied up while wating for a replacement, Common Sense will tell you DO NOT BUY FROM THAT BREEDER8. No Breeder can or should be expected to make any written guarantee on FUTURE soundness or show quality. Even if the Top Show Potential is there to begin with, neglect, lack of knowlegeable training and conditioning, and many, many other factors not under the control of the Breeder can prevent the Potential from becoming the Reality. On the other hand, many a good but not outstanding Pom has made a Top Show Record through the dedication and training ability of the owner or handler, in a game where Showmanship counts MUCH MORE than mere absence of major faultsGAYLE GRIFFIN Amity, OregonIf your Pom Reviews have a way of looking worn out after you have looked through the pages many times as mine do, here is a way to save the pictures from rubbing off. Go over the picture on front and back of your Pom Review with the clear liquid coating enclosed in any black and white Polaroid film or check stores that sell Polaroid cameras as they often throw away this picture finish. Give your picture a good coating, then let it dry.

You may underline that last statementI had gone to a few matches and had met a couple of super great Pom people who took me under their wings, gave me advice and constructive criticism and showed me how to trim for show.I was so elated by these wonderful people, I was unprepared for the rude awakening I had when I started going to shows. I was hurt and surprised at the chillled atmosphere that the newcomer receives. Perhaps these people were horn at ringside with a silver show lead in their teeth or an AKC licensed handler certificate In their hand, but I'm sure there are others that started as Im doing. Standing around with a thundering herd of butter- flys, dry mouth, feeling like youre doing everything wrong. Remember anyone Are you being cool to the newcomers because like the talkies they are a fad that will passAfter hitting some of the circuit this summer, there are only three people who were friendly, one was another newcomerAt my first show I went up and told a person that they had a lovely Pom and I didnt even get a thank you, just a cool look and a yes. I would not expect anyone to dive into a long friendly discussion at a show, there is so much tension and pressure, especially on a handler who is showing several dogs, but a smile and a couple of kind words, maybe a card or an exchange of addresses would be well worth the time taken. A cold attitude is remembered and could be the reason for that persons stud, puppies, or brood stock being passed over at a later date. There are enough kennels around that the beginner can have a choice in the matter.As for you Pom people who take some of your valuable time to help us struggling beginners, let me say BLESS YOU and dont stop being your wonderful selves. Your time is not wasted and your suggestions are heeded and usedIf in the writing of this, I get just one experienced Pom person to warm up then it is worth the while in writing. Tomorrow's breeders and handlers are todays novices. I know I wont stop showing just because the temperature was a little cool. I only hope Im never guilty of the same crime that Ive recently experienced.A critic is a man who knows the way but cant drive the car.Kenneth TynanIn Loving Memory CH.
