So much has happenedsince then. I married my husband, Jeff 12years ago. We made our home in a smalltown in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan,a great place to raise our 2 children,Jeffery and Timmy. Shortly after we weresettled into our own home in 1995, myhusband bought my first Pom. Peacheswas a beautiful girl, but she grew to be 7pounds, so I could not show her. I wasfortunate that shewas a beautifultypey Pom though.This gave me theopportunity tobreed Peaches toone of the top studdogs in the country.I kept the girl in thelitter.Unfortunately, I lostthis little girl. Afterthis loss, it took mea while to make mynext move in Poms.In Spring2000, I purchased abeautiful little girl,Finchs Lil MissCenterfold, Lily. I hauled Lily aroundto the shows long enough that she learnedevery bad habit possible. It wasnt untilshe was nearly 3 years old and singledout for over 6 months that I decided Ineeded help to get her finished. I hadcomplete faith that she would finish. Afterall, she had won a Group 4 with mehandling had to mean something. I askedaround at our local show, looking forsomeone who would take her from meringside. That is when I met Lynn Meyer.Lynn finished her with back-to-backmajors that weekend and shebecame my first champion. Thiswas 3 years ago. In the past threeand a half years, we have finished29 champions, 7 of those are particolor.I am the breeder of 21 of thesechampions.Shortly after Lily finished,I started showing my little blackboy Elvis, who is now Ch. CharsHunka Burnin Love. He was a sonof Am Can Ch Chriscendo Call ToArms. Elvis was myfirst homebred showPom, so I could nothelp but be reallyexcited about him.Elvis was more thanjust my first homebred though he wasmy first really greatpuppy. This is thefirst time that I trulysaw all theimportant things tome in one puppy.Watching himmature taught me somuch aboutstructure and set aguideline for me inwhat I expect in a show prospect puppytoday. He has put his stamp on hisoffspring, which quickly made him achampion producer. I cannot wait to startshowing his next kids.My puppies are raised in myhome where they can be socialized andloved as part of our family. The puppiesare whelped in my bedroom. After a fewweeks, I move them to the den. They stayin the den until they are weaned from theirmothers. At that time, the puppies get freerun of my kitchen. This is when housetraining begins. I have a large room offmy dining room for the adult Poms to sleepand play. They can go outside into fencedyards through doggy doors at their ownconvenience. I only lock them in when itis too cold or stormy outside. The room isaccessible through glass French doors,which allow us to have constant view ofMy children, Jeffery and TimmyMy husband, Jeff, with a fresh salmon hecaught to be mixed in the Poms raw diet2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 692006, 1103 PM94Sr-S i KWSH_ . v4-k4L -ssasarl Ssb-' ' 4fcr.AI ,i'ri.4i r . f7r Fv4"',Ass \WJVAm\j4 4fc r.it t.t 1 vVW it4 i Hei L_\tf4i i i n10 - JULYAUGUST 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWCharsPOMswhat is going on. Pea gravel yards extendthirty feet from the house on three sidesit is 12 inches thick in this area. This isgreat for a dry odor-free yard. From springthrough fall, there are grass yards thatextend beyond the pea gravel for them torun and play. My Poms have fleece bedsthat are washed daily. Each Pom gets abath every two to three weeks, andpuppiesshow prospects are bathedweekly once they reach 6 weeks old. Iwant my Poms to be clean at all times soI can enjoy playing with them every day.That is one of my greatest joys in raisingPoms.I have two separate breedingprograms one for solid-colored Poms andone for my parti-colors. There are timesthat I will use one of my solids in the partiprogrambut I do not use the partis in thesolid program. To me, it is important notto have parti-color in my solid bloodline.Neither breeding program is somethingthat I do on the side. I put a full effortinto both programs. My solid programconsists of a variety orange, red, cream,sable, black, and black and tan. Creamwas a new color for me in 2005. Blackand tan is new to me this year. My particolorscan range from any of the abovecolors plus chocolate parti-color.Chocolate parti-color is a very newadventure that I have set forth on. I feelthis is one color in our breed that needsour attention before there are none thatresemble Pomeranians as we know andlove them. I cannot say that I love thecolor, especially the self-colored eye rims,but I would not want to see the color lostto our breed. I am doing this color on avery limited basis, so I figure it will takea few years to see any progress. AlthoughI do breed for color, I will always putquality before color.In my opinion, the parti-colorPoms tend to be sounder and healthier thanmany solid colored Poms. I find thatmakes improving the overall quality of theparti-color a slightly easier road to travel.Genetic testing is very important.

I also have my vetkeep an annual record of patellas andhearts on all of my Poms so that I cankeep track of how they hold up through alifetime. This will be important in thefuture generations. Heath issues are a toppriority within my breeding programs.Not that I will accept a healthy Pom thatlacks type but an unhealthy Pom cannoteven make a good pet. I believe that a goodfoundation must be built on health,personality, and structure. The rest canbe changed, a little at a time, until youhave the result you are striving for.I will be the first to admit thatwhen I got into Poms, I had no intentionsof being owned by a parti-color. As amatter of fact, I was very clear that I didnot want a parti-color. During one visitwith Diane Finch in 2001, she suggestedthat I bring a black and white parti-color,Rocky, home with me just to show at theMichigan specialty show. He spent abouttwo months with me before Diane decidedshe must sell him. At first, I thought I wasgoing to be ok with this but about as fastas I hung up the phone, I realized that Icould not live without this little guy. I didnot know what I would do with him but Ihad no intentions of giving him up either.When I finally decided to show Rocky, Ireceived much encouragement and hefinished within four months. Thisbeautiful boy is my Ch. Finchs RockinParti. He resides on my pillow besideJasmine, the queen of the place. Jasmineis my spayed pet and her only job is tolove me. Rocky is the proud sire of twochampion sons Ch. Finchs Chars RockN Roll Parti and Ch. Chars Parti TilYou Tucker. He has another son, CharsTaboo To Rock N Parti who was recentlypointed.In the meantime, Diane and Idecided to co-own a couple of girls plus aColt son that was outof a parti mother. Ourco-bred litters arebred and raised at myhome and registeredwith the kennel nameFinchs Chars. I dida mating with FinchsCome Parti With Meto the Colt son. In thislitter, we wereblessed with threeinteresting puppies.One is now AmCanCh Finchs CharsSpellbound PartiMerlin, the topwinning parti-color inbreed history. One isAm Ch FinchsChars MakingWaves PartiSplash, owned byDiane Finch. Thesister, Finchs CharsWish Ima Parti Tadji, is co-owned byDiane Finch and myself. She is the motherto Taboo who is pointed and currentlyshowing.AmCan Ch. Finchs CharsSpellbound Parti Merlin is a dreamcome true for me. I brought Merlin toLynn a few days before he turned 6 monthsold and she started showing him shortlythereafter. Merlin finished his AKCchampionship within two weeks and sevenshows, never going less than reserve. Hefinished with all major wins. Merlin wasthe Best In Sweepstakes winner and WD,BOW at the City of Angels PomeranianSpecialty Show. Merlin accomplished allof this by 6 months and 19 days of age.Merlin is the youngest fastest finishingparti-color Pomeranian in breed history.Merlin went on from there to completehis Canadian championship along withtwo Toy group wins among other groupplacements.It was well before this time that Iknew we would be specialing Merlin inthe United States in 2005. I knew we werenot doing this to be No. 1. So, why speciala parti For me, the reason was obvious.The judges needed to see Merlin in thebreed ring and the Group ring. My hopeswere that the parti-color would becomemore easily recognized by the judges asan acceptable part of our breed. I hadhoped that Merlin could make a differencefor the parti-colors of the future.

Merlin is currently the topwinning parti-color in the world. He is thefirst parti-color Pomeranian to earn dualconformation titles. Merlin finished theyear as No.8 Pomeranian APC Breedsystem and No.10 Group system. Merlinis now at home siring puppies. I only havea couple litters from him so far, but amvery happy with what I see.Merlin wasnt our only successlast year. Diane Finch and I co-own thetop-producing bitch of 2005, Ch.Heathers Sunkiss Beach Baby ROM. Sheearned her ROM last year alone and hastwo additional major pointed offspring.She is also the mother to my first litter ofblack and tans. In addition, I earned therecognition of Exhibitor Of The Year byfinishing 17 champions in 2005.We were fortunate to be able toco-lease Colt Ch. Chriscendo Call ToArms for a few months last year. I wantto thank John and Chris for thisopportunity. We have a few beautiful Coltkids to show this year. The first, a boy Iam really excited about, Johnny CharsAll Eyes On Me, has three majors andneeds 2 points to complete his AKCchampionship.I have a little Colt granddaughterthat I just cannot help but talk about. Sheis my Ch. Chars For Love Or MoneyNookie. She was one hot little puppy,starting out going Best of Breed over thespecials. Well, she started out with a bangand kept those fireworks going non-stop.In New York City for the Progressive ToySpecialty, she went WB for a four pointmajor finishing her championship. Shecouldnt stop there though as she showedher little heart out and walked away asBest Puppy In Show. What an excitingday Nookie followed that up with the winof Grand Sweepstakes Winner at the 2005Summer National and Award of Merit.In 2006, we are facing a newchallenge campaigning an orangePomeranian, Tyler, BISS Ch. Finchs BettinOn Chars. Tyler is currently No. 2 breedsystem. I am excited to campaign Tyler, but,as a breeder, I also look forward to the daythat I will introduce him into my breedingprogram. His father is Ch. Pufpride SweetDreams Parker. His mother is a blackand tan, Finchs Seasoned Just Right ROM.I hope Tyler will be the future of my blackand tan breeding program.I am proud to have my Poms allover the world, from Mexico, South Africa,Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, Poland,Russia, Switzerland, England, Norway, toBulgaria. One that cannot go withoutmention, Chars Risky Business went BISin Poland for a win over 3000 dogs, his veryfirst show. He is our first homebred Best InShow Pom.There are several people who putchampionships on Chars Poms in the US.I have all those people to thank for comingto me for their show prospect puppy andfollowing through and making those babieschampions. I want to thank my wonderfulmentor, partner, and friend who has beenthere beside me through everything, DianeFinch. You are simply the best. I want tothank my good friend and handler, LynnMeyer, for all the love and care she gives tomy Poms as well as being there for me whenI have difficult decisions to make. I want tothank all my friends for being there besideme, through the good times and the bad. Ilove you guys and you know who you are.Without these wonderful people, CharsPoms just wouldnt be the same.I realize I cannot write enoughabout each and every Pom or person thathas come into my life or made somedifference in what I am doing today. I startedout breeding for myself as many showbreeders do. I soon learned that there is asmuch joy in placing a beautiful puppy witha hopeful beginner as there is in keepingthem to show myself. I want to breed to helpour breed, the Pomeranian. We cannot helpour breed if we are not willing to share withothers. So, in this I have vowed to alwaysshare what I have and consider the breed asa whole with each decision I make.I want to thank the PomeranianReview and Brenda Segelken for invitingme to do this kennel visit.BISS Ch JCh Pl Ch Md Rus UA Chars Risky BusinessOur first home-bred Best in Show winning PomChars All Eyes On Me JohnnyA Colt son2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1131 PM12I I I I I i i i in4 isyis4,liwuIT .1V 'ntt J4. n 6r4 mJ BIS, J Ch PL Char's Risky Business a Jit wr lllllll4 4. ^'y iS , 79.

Has it been ingrained in us as schoolchildren that this translates as the promise to light-hearted adventures To thedog-show enthusiast it means entering the heart of the years maincompetitive season. To those fortunate enough to be able to attend this years Summer Specialty inFlorida, its time to enjoy seeing this years crop of fine Pomeranian competition and the camaraderie ofother exhibitors. To Pom breeders, you are able to watch young pups adventure into their first summer,be it catching butterflies or fireflies.As a Review correspondent, I wish I had a crystal ball that enabled me to report on the return of thequestionnaires we sent out to our membership. That is a light-hearted way of reminding you of thenecessary time it takes between writing an article, formulating it for print, printing it, and finallydistributing it. Reading the articles in the last issue proves it a worthy wait. The Review serves twosimultaneous functions very well. It provides current information and thought-provoking articles. It alsoarchives our breed history.Katie Gammils excellent article pointed out that mentorship is a very important step in learning aboutany breed. It is necessary as a novice it is also necessary to give back this gift to the next generation.Our education process as Pom fanciers, be it as breeder, exhibitor, or judge, is never over. And one waythat I have found useful and have heard respected dog people confirm is to re-examine the magazineissues of years past. Each and every time that I have done this, I have seen the exact same magazinethrough different eyes. The dogs advertised in the past as puppy hopefuls, or Specials, are the ones nowfive generations past in pedigrees.And you find that Alopecia X, Severe Hair Loss Syndrome SHLS, Black Skin Disease BSD is aproblem in Poms that has been called by various names but is certainly not a new occurrence to ourbreed. But what we are getting better about-and this will allow us to survive and without throwing thebaby out with the bath water-is bringing this problem out of the closet.Is John Heartz courageous Yes. But having an elephant in the room whose presence everyone refusesto acknowledge would be stupid in my opinion. He points out that same elephant might have undesirabletraits and necessary useful talents. But not acknowledging the elephant means we all could get steppedon. I personally dont care what we call this elephant this elephant exists. And yes, John Heartz isintelligent enough to recognize the population genetics principle that Dr. Battaglia also teaches by thetime a problem surfaces throughout a breed, it is too late to finger-point backward in pedigrees anderadicate by witch-hunting elimination in the gene pool. Everyone in that breed must go FORWARD intheir program. Plan accordingly. And as Katie Gammills article implies, that plan might be different indifferent breeding programs. It depends on where that elephant is whether he appears big or small-orhow talented and useful he might be.2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1021 PM2444 4SgVlUfflHW 9W1I 'stern to4i i i i nJulyAugust 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 25Yes, the article from Starlight Paws displayed Courage and Confidence in their not tip-toeing about thisvery elephant. Courteous is another C word for which I feel they should be Commended. They didneither point, nor blame. Compassion must go out to all owners of Poms with this problem. Andcompassion must go to all breeders who breed their first Alopecia X Pom.And as I have always encouraged, we should all be Committed to finding solutions. Our beloved breedis deserving of it. And I will repeat Whatever problems humans have created bred into in a breed,humans hold the capability of solving. Individually and as a group, we must make it a priority. AnnBerryman continues to be a leader. She knows research takes financial backing. Pauline McFarlane hasbeen another early contributer. The Pom columnist, Zsa-Zsa, can lead our parade. One occasion thatwearing her Time to be Involved watches to show unity will be at next years National educationalseminar.We will be fortunate to have Dr. Linda Frank as our speaker. For anyone that doesnt already know, sheis the researcher at the University of Tennessee who has been working on the clinical aspects ofAlopecia X. Alopecia X is the newest name accepted by the scientific community for our Pom hair loss.She will talk about normal hair, conditions that cause hair loss in all dogs, and more specifically thecondition we now call Alopecia X. Tentatively she has titled the talk Hair today, gone tomorrow orwhat is Black Skin Disease, anyway What a wonderful opportunity for us to further educateourselves. I am hopeful that this will open up a dialogue that all of us can partake. If there is one topicthat unites this Club this one could and should lead the way. Please make the commitment to supportand attend this seminar.Meanwhile, may you all revel in the delights of summer.

Research has shown that pets who are neutered or spayed have a lower risk of certain types of cancers.2 Ease in house training. It is much easier to house train your pet when he does not have the instinct to mark his territory. Contrary to popular belief,it is not just males who are inclined to mark their territory with urine. Females who are in season or who are trying toestablish a pecking order also may mark their territory with urine. Males who are neutered by 6 months of age generally donot develop leg-lifting behavior.3 A pet that is easier to live with. Neutered dogs are less aggressive, and you will not have the embarrassing problem of them mounting everything in sightyour visitors leg, other pets, toys, etc.. Males who have only one thing on their mind do not make very affectionate pets.Spayed females are generally more affectionate toward people and other pets and are less likely to aggressively defend theirplace in the household pecking order.4 The safety of your pet. Un-neutered males often become obsessed with seeking females. Obsessed males try to run away at every chance and makeirrational choices, such as darting into the road, challenging a larger male, jumping from high places, etc.5 Its the right thing to do Millions of unwanted pets end up in animal shelters each year. From 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized killed becausehomes cannot be found for them. Please do your part to help control the numbers of animal shelter casualities.Our question for the next issue is Id like to travel with my Pom, but she gets car sick.

No other breeder in the world has achieved whatshe did in her about 50 years of breeding and showing activity, withabout 100 British champions, 10 generations of homebred Britishchampions, countless overseas champions and winning practicallyeverything there was to win but BIS at Crufts. However, she wentvery close to it by winning Reserve BIS at Crufts in 1960 with Ch.Pixitown Serenade of Hadleigh, a beautiful dog eventually exportedto the United States where he left a big mark both as a show dog andas a producer and winning a group at Westminster.Her outstanding Pomeranians, or dogs closely related tothe Hadleigh Poms, have been exported all over the world, greatlycontributing to the betterment of the breed from Europe to America,from Asia to Australia. No other Pomeranian kennel in the worldhas had such an impact on the breed, and the exquisite-headed, hugecoated and short-backed Hadleigh Poms became synonymous withthe breed.Of course, not all of the Hadleigh Pomeranians werebeautiful show dogs, but Mrs. Dyke produced some outstanding dogsthat will remain in the history of the breed and could still be topwinners today.A special mention must be paid to Mrs. Dykes husband,Mr. Albert Dyke. He was the man behind the scene but manyconsidered him the true breeder of the Hadleigh Poms and saw thedecline of the kennel after his death. Mrs. Dyke bought her first breeding bitch in 1938 from Mrs.K. Carlin. It was Eastney Madcap and when bred to Eastney RedBay produced Sundown of Hadleigh, a valuable brood who was themother of several winners including the lovely Ch. Hadleigh MyCheri of Rosebert, later exported to the United States.Mrs. Dyke finished her first three champions in 1948 andsince then, there has been no stopping her show success. Manytimes she walked away from a show having won both BOB andBOS. Among her first famous dogs, Ch. Sweet Lady of Hadleighdeserves a special mention. She was a top show winner but, most ofall, she was a fantastic producer and the mother of seven Britishchampions. Bred to the lovely Ch. Zambo of Zanow, in 1959 sheproduced two very influential stud dogs, Ch.Goldenstar of Hadleighand Ch. Little Gent of Hadleigh. Particularly the latter sired nineBritish champions and put his mark on the modern type ofPomeranian. Little Gent was a sweet-headed, huge-coated sabledog who started an uninterrupted line of Hadleigh male championsthat ends with Ch. Hadleigh Summer Lightning.During the Fifties and the Sixties, the Hadleigh influencewas felt in the breeding programs of many other kennels Cynpeg,Andersley and Aurum to name just a few kennels whose beautifulPoms were exported all over the world. The Crufts 1966 Toy Groupwinner, Ch. Sweet Dreams of Aurum, was sired by Pompadour ofHadleigh, a son of Ch. Little Gent of Hadleigh.Another golden era of the Hadleigh Poms started in theearly Seventies when some of Mrs. Dykes most beautiful championswere produced. Many of these gorgeous Pomeranians were sired byCh. Hadleigh Starlight, a wolf sable dog sired by Ch. Modelstar ofHadleigh, a son of Ch. Little Model, a son of Ch. Little Aristocratwho, in turn, was again by Ch. Little Gent of Hadleigh.Starlight constantly sired beautiful Pomeranians, but hismost famous children were produced out of two show bitches, Ch.Hadleigh Dolly Dimple and Hadleigh Honey Love 2CCs. Boththese breedings were repeated and each time produced outstandingdogs. Bred to Dolly Dimple Mrs. Dyke got Ch. Hadleigh Supersonicand the wonderful Ch. Hadleigh Twinkling Star, considered by manyas one of the best Hadleighs ever. Another dog out of this breedingis Hadleigh Tom Thumb who is a grandsire of the fantastic Ch.Derronils Maxamillion,whose dam was sired byHadleigh Royal Star, ason of Ch. Twinkling Star.Ch. HadleighTwinkling Star also sireda litter containing twomales destined to leave amark, Ch. HadleighHappy Star and HadleighHappy Days.

Daim ofSushimoto at Cygal owned by the late Stuart Finley Bisset. Daim ofSushimoto, born 1980, was a dark sable pure Hadleigh Pomeranianwho was imported into England and had an incredible show careerculminating in the CC breed record holder for the breed, a recordheld for some time and now surpassed by a bitch Ch. ThelbernMardi Gras. The breeding between Ch. Hadleigh Starlight and HadleighHoneysweet produced the legendary Ch. Hadleigh Shining Star whowon more than 30 CCs and was the breed record holder for manyyears. Together with the lovely bitch Ch. Hadleigh Honey Puffwinner of puppy of the year 1975 they dominated the Pomeranianrings. Shining Star was eventually exported to Japan to Mr. KazuIgarashi. Mrs. Dyke kept Shining Stars brother, Hadleigh HoneyStar, who proved to be a very influential stud.A repeat breeding of Shining Star produced Ch. HadleighPride of the Stars, once again exported to Japan where he had a bigimpact on the breed. Pride of the Stars sired Ch. Hadleigh Superstarwho, in turn, sired Ch. Hadleigh Superman who has had an impacton the American show scene as well.Mrs. Dyke imported from Japan two bitches sired by Ch.Hadleigh Pride of the Stars, both titled in the UK, Ch. Cream Puff ofHakodate Maekawa Crufts BOB winner and Ch. Pride Nana ofAzalea Sally of Hadleigh.Before Ch. Hadleigh Shining Star was exported to Japan,he sired a few puppies including Ch. Hadleigh Stardust who left abig mark in the history of the breed through some of his children,particularly Ch. Hadleigh Summer Lightning and Yenlu Highjackerat Speranza.Mrs. Dyke only let a few selected people have access to herdogs, and those who did took advantage of her wonderful bloodlines,greatly improving their Pomeranians. As a matter of fact, someBritish kennels of the recent past worked using mainly, if notexclusively, Hadleigh bloodlines, like Mr. and Mrs. Ainsworth ofthe Dorney kennel. They were close friends of Mrs. Dyke and hadaccess to her stud dogs and produced several lovely Pomeranians ofexquisite Hadleigh type.Ch. Dorney Starry Knight, born 1983, was a beautifulorange with huge coat and the sweetest of heads. He was sired byHadleigh Royal Star a very influential stud sired by Ch. HadleighTwinkling Star out of a daughter of Ch. Hadleigh Happy Star.Starry Knight, bred to Hadleigh Musical Star, sired Ch.Hadleigh Mystic Star at Dorney, Hadleigh Elegant Star, a RCCwinner, and HadleighExcellent Star at Dorney, aCC winner.

Mrs. Moore shared her bloodlines withother breeders and by doing so she helped many breeders with theirbreeding programs.Mrs. Ruth Keyes of the famous Tookeys kennel, got manyof her foundation dogs from Paddockwood, hence all her dogs wentback to Hadleigh bloodline. Her first champion, Ch. Tookeys Toyboy,was sired by Paddockwood High Jinks. Other Paddockwood Pomsthat played a big role in the Tookeys kennel were Paddockwood PanThe Piper at Tookeys Ch. Hadleigh Summer Lightning x a daughterof Hadleigh King of the Stars, Paddockwood Flashdance at TookeysPaddockwood Grand Slam x a daughter of Ch.DerronilsMaxamillion and a few others.Paddockwood Undaunted with Bryandee was a pureHadleigh dog sold to Mr. Bryan Hopkins of the Bryandee kenneland was an influential stud not only for his owners breeding.Undauted was sired by Ch. Hadleigh Summer Lightning x HadleighChantilly Lace. Mr. Hopkins is one of the few old breeders stillactive in the UK today.Mrs. Mason of the Sableway Poms got a dog from Mrs.Moore that is behind many top winners. His name was PaddockwoodHuckleberry of Sableway and was sired by Paddockwood Grand Slamout of a Hadleigh Summer Lightnings daugther. This same breedingcombination proved to be quite successful, producing many winnersincluding Paddockwood Pom Puss CC and Res.CC winner who,bred to Ch. Derronils Maxamillion, produced the outstanding bitchCh. Paddockwood Pretty Risky, born 1986. Another outstandingchampion for Mrs. Moore was Ch. Paddockwood Golden Trinket,another Maxamillion daughter born 1987.Ch. Hadleigh Summer Lightning was also extremelyinfluential in the breeding of the black Pomeranians through hisbeautiful black son, Ch. Peninans Black Topper at Salvadure, bredby Mrs. Shaw and owned by Mrs. Palmer. Black Topper, born 1982,sired so many winners, including Ch. Macdene Black Royal andCh. Pyropom Othello, and his influence will be felt for many yearsto come and is behind the fabulous Ch. Moonrae Ebony Hot Shot,top winning toy dog in the UK for 2000.Stuart Finley Bisset and Derek Hill, of the Cygal andDerronil kennels, were two breeders who had access to the Hadleighdogs and got two studs from Mrs. Dyke, Hadleigh Tom Thumb andHadleigh Escort Boy. Undoubtedly, the most famous dog comingfrom their breeding is the legendary Ch. Derronils Maxamillion,Crufts 1985 group winner.Maxamillion was born in 1983 by two Cygals Poms siredby Hadleigh dogs. Max was a typical Hadleigh type and everybreeders dream. Not only was he an outstanding Pomeranian anda top winner, but, in his short life he sired many outstanding Pomssuch as Ch. Derronils Desire, Ch. Derronils Centurion, Ch.Derronils Heart Throb, Ch.Derronils Millionaire, Ch. AmcrossTrivial Pursuit, Ch. Paddockwood Pretty Risky, Ch. PaddockwoodGolden Trinket and many more.

Golden, DVM, Diplomate ACVIMVaccination is the process by which an animals immune orprotective response to an infectious disease is stimulated bya method, other than developing and living through thedisease. This process attempts to render the animal resistantto that disease upon future exposure. The most importantquestion for the dog owner regarding vaccination is an easyone What diseases should I have my dog vaccinated againstHistorically the answer was easy. Vaccinate for everythingand do it often. However, with the emergence of many newvaccines on the market and the realization that vaccination isnot risk free, the question is no longer so simple. Pertinentquestions for todays veterinarians and pet owners includeWhat vaccines are necessaryWhat is the ideal administration protocolHow effective are the vaccinesWhat are the risksWhat is the duration of immunityMany of the answers to these questions are unknown or poorlyunderstood. But we do know one thing for certain, there is nosingle vaccine protocol that is best for all situations. Owners mustparticipate in the decision to determine if the risks of variousvaccine options are worth the potential benefit to their dogs andtheir particular needs.GOALS OF VACCINATIONThe ideal vaccine would always induce immunity, induceimmunity that is life-long immunize puppies at birth have no risksor side effects be easy to administer, and be stable under storage.Although modern vaccines have advanced in these areas, majorimprovements are still needed particularly in duration of immunityand effective immunization of puppies. It is also important torecognize that, although absolute resistance to disease is an idealgoal, vaccines that merely reduce the severity of disease and riskof death continue to provide significant benefit in the control ofmany conditions.TYPES OF VACCINESModern vaccine technology has allowed the production ofvaccines in a variety of different forms, each with its ownapplications, benefits, and disadvantages. In general, thesedifferent forms have been developed to minimize induction ofdisease, increase the spectrum and duration of immunity, improvehandling and storage, and minimize side effects. Killed vaccinesand bacterins vaccines for bacterial diseases are generally safebut must often be boosted by adjuvants. Unfortunately, theseboosting agents can create problems. Killed vaccines are also notas effective as other forms and require repeated administration toinduce immunity or more frequent revaccination. Modified livevirus MLV vaccines generally produce rapid and prolongedprotection and a broader immune response. They are also moreeffective at immunizing young puppies at an earlier age. The maindisadvantages of MLV products include the potential to inducedisease and easy inactivation during handling i.e., they are fragile.Subunit or recombinant protein vaccines contain just a part of theinfectious organism and have the benefit of fewer side effects, butthey may not be as antigenic as MLV vaccines.What Factors Determine the Need for a Particular VaccineWith todays biotechnology, it is possible to make vaccines formany infectious diseases however, the ability to produce avaccine does not equate with the need for that vaccine. Based on adisease control basis, a number of factors must be considered todetermine if a vaccine is necessary and if it could potentially beeffective in controlling the disease in the general dog population.These include the incidence of the disease, the severity of thedisease, how easily the disease can be transmitted, how effectivethe vaccine is, and public health concerns. Additional factors alsoneed to be considered to determine if a vaccine is appropriate foran individual dog or group of dogs. These include age, geographicNEW PROTOCOLS FOR VACCINATIONWHATS A BREEDER TO DO Genetics2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1023 PM3244 41i i i i nJulyAugust 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 33location, potential for travel, housing, risk vs. benefit ofvaccination, and probability of exposure.VACCINE PROTOCOLSThe best approach to determining when vaccines should beadministered is accomplished by recognizing the differentscenarios for dogs that require vaccination.Puppies 16 weeks. Most puppies that adequately nurse within 48hours of birth will receive antibody transfer from the bitch thatwill provide adequate protection for 616 weeks. However, thissame protection also blocks the ability of vaccines to induceimmunity in these puppies. To overcome this dilemma, vaccinesare often administered to puppies as a series. In general, mostvaccinations should begin at 68 weeks of age and are continuedevery 3 weeks until 14 weeks of age. However, some vaccines,e.g., some intranasal Bordetella products can be given as early as34 weeks of age, others e.g., leptospirosis and rabies should notbe given before 12 weeks of age, and others e.g., parvovirusshould be administered through 17 weeks or longer in somebreeds. Multiple vaccines can be administered at the same timebut vaccines should not be administered more frequently thanevery 2 weeks. Even if the ideal protocol is followed, puppies canstill be susceptible to disease during this period.Puppies that are unvaccinated, inappropriately vaccinated or havean unknown vaccination history. 16 weeks. Protocol depends onthe vaccine and disease being vaccinated against. In many cases, asingle vaccination with a MLV product will be protectivehowever, most products have instructions that require 2vaccinations at least 2 weeks apart.Adult Boosters. Determining the ideal protocol for boostervaccinations is one of the most involved topics of discussionamong veterinarians at this time. Almost all vaccines should berepeated at 1 year of age to ensure effective immunity. After that,the frequency of revaccination is dependent upon the duration ofimmunity DOI of the product. This varies greatly betweendiseases and individual vaccines available for prevention of aspecific disease. Historically, yearly revaccination has beenrecommended for all products however, this guideline is no longerappropriate. Some vaccines may need to be administered morefrequently in certain situations, other may require yearlyadministration, others less frequently, and some may never need tobe repeated. See specific recommendations below.Breeding Bitches. In most cases, the vaccination protocol forbreeding bitches will be similar to any other adult dog. Ideally, fora bitch to pass on the maximum protection to her puppies, sheshould receive booster vaccinations especially for those vaccineswith a short duration of immunity approximately 3 weeks prior tobreeding. However, since maternal antibody levels in puppiesreach 6097 of their mothers protective level, it should not benecessary to revaccinate bitches that have received boosters ofcore vaccines at a normal interval. In general, most vaccinesshould not be given to pregnant dogs.Orphaned Puppies did not nurse from bitch during first 48hours. Oral administration of hyper-immune serum can beperformed up to 72 hours after birth. Administration of passiveimmunity should be considered if there is known exposure to aninfectious disease. Some killed products can be administeredearlier than 6 weeks if needed. Modified live virus vaccines shouldnever be administered earlier than recommended due to thepossibility of inducing disease.VACCINE RECOMMENDATIONSWith the multitude of vaccines currently available and therecognition that not all dogs need all vaccines, a number of taskforces and individual experts in this area of veterinary medicinehave put forth guidelines to assist veterinarians and dog ownerswith this issue. As a result, vaccines have been divided into threecategories1. CORE VACCINES Generally Recommended for All DogsDistemper MLV recommendedInitial Puppy Vaccination 16 weeks.

Notevery attempt to vaccinate a dog is effective and there are a varietyof factors that can contribute to vaccine ineffectiveness. Even inthe best of circumstances, the effectiveness of some vaccines maybe 65. This may be effective in reducing the incidence of diseasein a population but can leave a large number of individuals at risk.Most commonly, the presence of maternal antibodies is the reasonfor vaccine failure. Other causes include disease or drug-inducedimmunosuppression, fever, improper storage and handling,vaccine inactivation from disinfectants, and incorrect route ofadministration. Although often a concern, vaccination duringanesthesia or surgery does not appear to inhibit effectiveimmunization.Vaccine Reactions. It is important to recognize that vaccination isnot a benign procedure and a multitude of complications andreactions can occur. These range from transient local reactions,allergic reactions, fever and malaise, tumor formation, and evendeath. Fortunately, todays vaccines have a low incidence of sideeffects, and most that do occur are transient or easily managed.When an individual dog has a reaction, it may be difficult todetermine the specific component of the vaccine that isresponsible. Subsequent vaccinations should be approached withcaution and performed only under the supervision of aveterinarian.Modified live virus vaccines have the potential to create symptomsof the disease or the disease itself. This possibility is increasedwhen these vaccines are given to animals that are too young,immunosuppressed, or when the vaccine is administered in theincorrect site.Antibody Titers to Determine Revaccination IntervalsAlthough testing antibody levels titers as a method ofdetermining if an animal is still protected against a disease seemsreasonable, the process is not that simple. Many factors go intothe testing procedure and there is no standardization between testmethods and laboratories. As such, it is impossible to know if acertain titer in a specific animal equals adequate protection againstdisease. However, measurement of titers may provide a method ofdetermining intervals for revaccination in the future.Dr. Dennis L.

Suddenly the Pom slumpeddown. The owner quickly picked up the Pom in her handsand exclaimed, She is having a seizure She has never hada seizure before I am taking her back to the groomingarea.As the little dogs head hung lifeless on the side of theowners arm, I noticed its mouth just didnt look right. I looked closer and then saw something in her mouth.Quickly the dog became totally lifeless and defecated uncontrollably. I exclaimed, Shes not having a seizureShes chokingWith that the owner, handler and I quickly grabbed the dogs mouth. It took the three of us two tries to pry openthe jaws far enough apart to rake the food out of her mouth. Still staying calm, the owner put the dog on its sideflat on the table. One began chest compresses while the other blew into her mouth. The tongue still remained adeep dark blue. I stepped back in order to give them room and re-compose myself. I had come to the realizationthe Pom was dead.Their action continued, as I stood there helpless. Only a few people ringside even seemed aware of what washappening. A little Pom had just lost its life Why isnt everyone screaming or cryingI shook my head once again, in disbelief, wondering why they didnt stop I leaned back over to give the ownersupport, as I knew the outcome would be more than they could bear. Then, I gazed, in shock the tongue was regaininga slight pinkish tinge.A few minutes, which seemed like eternity, passed before the little Pom finally gasped a breath on her own. Oh,my God What a relief A gift of life returned.Dazed by the whole episode, the little Pom was taken back to the grooming area and watched carefully while thePom judging continued. She was terribly shaky and weak, but, before leaving the show site, she had a twinkle inher eye. She was going to be OK.After re-evaluating the situation, the owner came to realize they had laid two pieces of bait chunks of chicken onthe tabletop. Even though the chicken was cut in small pieces, they were just not small enough to be anxiouslyswallowed at one time by one tiny, four-pound Pom.The outcome was absolutely unbelievable. No one person became a hero that day. All parties played an importantrole in saving the Poms life, but the ultimate saving grace was that all three people remained calm. Each persondid what had to be done within seconds. Seconds was all that separated the Pom between life and death.The happy little champion Pom was proudly shown the following day.

Time iscritical as irreversible tissue damage occurs within two to four minutes of respiratory or circulatory arrest.Remember the basic ABCs when it comes to CPR.AIRWAYBREATHINGCIRCULATIONA - AIRWAYLay the dog on a flat surface on its right side extend the head back, and pull the tongue forward in order tocreate an open airway. WARNING do not hyperextend in cases where neck trauma exists.Open the jaws and check for food or obstructions. If something is found, open the jaws and rake the objectout to the side. Be careful not to place your fingers inside the dogs mouth without holding the jaws open.You also may hold the dog upside down by their back and shake the dog in order to remove the object.B - BREATHINGPlace your cheek near the dogs nostrils to see if he is breathing. If not, close the dogs mouth and performmouth-to-nose ventilations by placing your mouth over the nose. Blow gently into the dogs nostrils with fiveor six quick breaths. Continue the quick breaths at a rate of one breath every two to three seconds or 20-30breaths per minute. Small dogs and puppies will require short, shallow breaths.C CIRCULATIONCheck for a heartbeat pulse with your finger placed inside of the thigh, just above the knee. If you cannotfeel a pulse, place your cupped hand over the dogs chest cavity where the elbow touches the middle of thechest to feel for a heartbeat.If you still dont feel a heartbeat or pulse, have one person continue breathing into the nostrils mouth tosnout, while you begin to compress the chest as follows.Place one hand or thumb puppies on the chest. Push gently down to 1 inch for 15 quick compressions.Recheck pulse and airway to see if either has been restored.If consciousness has not been restored, continue compressions at a rate of 100 per minute.With one-person CPR, breath once after every 5 compressions and 2 breathes after every 15 compressions fortwo-person CPR.Contact a veterinarian immediately for further evaluation when your dog begins to breath. CPR can producebroken ribs and lung collapse. Never practice CPR on any healthy dog.Be aware that some diseases such as Brucellosis may result in weak or dead puppies and may be transmittedto humans through contact with the puppy or fluids.Begin compressions ONLY IF NEEDED. There are times rescue breathing is all needed for drowning, etc.SMALL CANINE CPR2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1024 PM39I I I I I i i i in44 4440 - JULYAUGUST 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWWhat is breed type What is breed specific movement Today some breeds seem tobe in a muddle. It has recently been overheard and suggested our written standardsare simply just that, A suggestion. In truth, our standards are a tool and guideline for every breeder to use as ablueprint toward the COMMON goal. We should breed to standard, not change thestandard to fit the dog. Culling ruthlessly, past breeders perfected specific breed traits. Creating new,individual breeds, they weeded out unwanted genetic faults. Although many areNOT listed in our standards, when the unusual pops up, common sense should tellus this was NOT a considered norm and should NOT be rewarded. Propertieschange when we accept such and we open up Pandoras box. We are now payingfor allowing those genes at one time considered undesirable back into our breeds. Perhaps until judges are in the ring, they truly do not understand type. Should judgesmaster this expertise on an exhibitors money Why are some long time exhibitorsturning away from our sport Valid questions, dinner conversation. People today have their own perception of type. They breed to the type that wins.This is seen in breeds with far too much bone and coat. Exaggerations make some breedsappear as another distinctly related breed. Since all breeds came about by sorting particularbreed specific traits and separating them, the opportunity to allow these traits to bleed intoeach other is always open. That is why one must continually refer to their standards andfollow them explicitly. There are beautiful pictorial standards available from parent clubs.Use them Placements DO NOT MEAN a judge approves of the type of dog you are showing. Ajudge can only put up what you enter in the ring. Thus, when you breed to what wins andfill the ring with such, you do not give a judge any choice regarding selection. Nuancesdistinguish one breed from another. Those who so ruthlessly culled the breeds in the pastsurely are spinning in their graves regarding the allowances tolerated in todays ring in thequest to grab that win. It is my humble opinion there are three types. Type 1 True breed type.The standard or blueprint to which all breeders should breed. This includes correctness ofstructure in a breed that allows it to do the job for which it was intended and is a completelydifferent subject. Type 2 Preferred breed type or flavor of the month.What ever is winning currently. This runs its course when The Next Big Thing comesalong. Often top dogs dont win on correctness, but win on the exaggeration of a fault thatis so common its considered correct Rewarding a drag of a breed in an effort to callattention to a virtue is a hard call to make, and little understood by newcomers to the sport. Type 3 Hot damn It wins Who cares what the standard saysThis, in itself, it called short-term gain, long-term pain. Once a standard is abused, it takesyears for a turn around. Over the years, if you have been around long enough, variousbreeds hit bottom. Only then, concernedbreeders call a halt and return to the standard.Eventually, through concentrated efforts, theyput the breed back on track. One must attempt to understandtoplines in specific breeds. Breed specificmovement enters in when body types differ.There are commonalities beneath the coat ofall breeds. The Belgian breed iswas, in theirstandard a square dog. This was until theTervuren standard changed theirs to read,Stands four square. The Belgian breeds,in essence, should appear the same in bodyand type, the only difference being coat. Ionce had the pleasure of judging the threebreeds so similar I awarded all three Groupplacements to bring attention to such aremarkable thing. Belgians are one of many breeds withbreed specific movement. If one studies theirherding technique, they will find Belgiansmove the herd by circling them. They do notgo down for the heels. This is explicit in theirstandard. Quote. The Belgian shows amarked tendency to move in a circle ratherthan a straight line. Why is this so hard tounderstand when it is such an importantaspect in their standard that makes them abreed to themselves There is more than onetype of movement in the Herding Group, yetmany judges extol and reward wonderfulreach and drive whether it is their breed E. Katie Gammill - Lerna, IllinoisANDJUST HOW IS THATWORKING FOR YOU2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1024 PM40I I I I I i i m i n4IT, i4 44JulyAugust 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 41specific movement required or not. Where is the pronounced black mask and overlay required in the Tervuren and Malinoisstandard Being approximately square does not mean the head screws on the shoulderand the legs hold the head up. Why the acceptance of silvers today Breeders, beinghuman, give judges what they look for. Judges are trusted protectors of all breed standards.Breeders to are entrusted to keep the breeds as intended. I heard someone say recently, We breed the dogs. Judges will set type by what theyput up Perhaps some judges do NOT KNOW the breed as true breeders do. Thus,judges may rely on prior knowledge and experience of other breeds to make their selections.Where does that leave your breed Again, we are back to Judges DO NOT set thestandards. The parent club sets the standards. The judges SHOULD JUDGE to thosestandards. Therefore, dog standards that say off-square or square, something needed to allowthem to function as intended, is ignored. Dogs become low on leg and long in body. Theelbow is the halfway point on balance from the floor to the shoulder, unless you are a lowbaseddog and should have 13 length of leg. To change leg length destroys the symmetryof either dog if it becomes too long or too short, as well as its functionality. Some judges ask, What is going on in your breed Exhibitors shake their heads andsadly respond, People breed to what wins. What does this say about our judges, orbreeders and exhibitors When there is no attempt to breed toward a common goal, justwhat is the point What good is a room full of blue ribbons when the breeds lose in theend Nuances make a difference. Wedge back skulls that are narrowing bring in a completelynew set of problems. This changes the ear set, the eye set, elongates the muzzle and allowsthe flew to drop over the lip line. Notice the drooping flews in breeds today. With thishound like appearance, ears tend to be longer and they fall off the sides of the head. Oneloses the sweetness of expression. Temperaments are changing, folks, along with these head changes. Breeds once trustednow show adverse behavior in the ring by shyness and aggressiveness. There is a lookin the eye. Many flat back skulls and wedge heads are now rounded or domed and the dish-facedstops make the dog appear as another breed. Such a fine line between many breeds. Once bred together, it took years to perfectbreed specific traits. There was determined culling. We now step over that line and smeartypes together. In time, it will be impossible to buy a dog of choice that when it matures,LOOKS LIKE THE DOG OF OUR CHOICE Long ago breeders combined breeds to create a dog that was effective in the job forwhich it was bred and LOOKED LIKE the dog they chose it to reflect. They weeded outundesirable traits so you and I today, could have approximately 165 specific breeds.Todays old breeders followed that plan. Now, newcomers stray from this plan inpursuit of preferences. It may be too late for the old breeders to pick the flyspecks out ofthe pepper. Sadly, we enter the era of designer dogs. Sold for exorbitant prices, thanks to theavailability of the Internet, this too, is detrimental to the sport of purebred dogs. Wecannot harness a dragon once we turn him loose. We need damage control now Therefore,we must educate new comers. Judges should reward those attempting to remain true tothe breed standards. Judges are responsible for their actions. Obviously, my age is showing. The I can have what I want and rules are made to bebroken. theory so prevalent today, is hard to swallow. Designer dogs are a step closer toMuttdom, folks, and isnt this where it all started in the first place As Dr. Phil says,And just how is that working for you Do not let our breeder showcase become a free for all in the great race for thatillusive blue ribbon. That ribbon may be awarded by someone who may, or may not, havea clue as to what the breed is supposed to look like in the first place. Many people todayhave never seen the greats of many breeds. Some dogs, not considered outstanding, maybe a predictable stud for producing specifictraits and can contribute greatly to your goals. Judges are in a difficult position. Theystudy standards diligently, using theirknowledge to make educated choices, andface little appreciation. Many who criticizejudges are people who do not have a cluethey have a breed standard available for theirbreed. Judges education Well, you can lead ahorse to water better yet, just who isleading the horse What qualifies oneperson over another to be the educator Isthis person truly most qualified Is thedetermination to make inroads regarding theunderstanding of their breed foremostPerhaps the effort made is with thesupposition a judge will remember theirefforts or to establish their type as thecorrect breed standard type Whoever theymay be, new judges are thankful for theopportunity to go over a variety ofindividuals. All of us recognized there arelittle compensation for your time and expenseincurred. I learn as much from bad dogs as I dofrom outstanding individuals. One must havethe best and the worst in front of them tocompare. Only then can they develop theability of prioritizing properly when they havethe privilege of judging an outstanding classof individuals challenging their abilities. Thesecret is PRIORITIZING ACCORDINGTO THE STANDARDS. This alone makesa competent, desirable judge. People riding horses know only to wellhow hard it is to remain in the saddle if thehorse they are riding is unsound. Thisknowledge of cows and horses adapts easilyto the structural analysis of dogs. For each bad front, there is acorresponding corrective rear action, andvisa-versa. Balance often consideredacceptable when gaiting, can be a bad frontand bad rear that work together. Two wrongsdo not make a right and leads us down thepath of mediocrity. Look for symmetry. Standback and let the dog fill your eye. This horse is dead, so Ill get off andhobble into the sunset.

Youve sent your entry in, and now you sit back and wonder. What will it be like inside thering Let us go through a ring performance, and see what actually happens when you finally cross that ring gate.BE READY Know when you will be next. Even though dogs should be judged in catalogue order, sometimes conflictsoccur resulting in a dog going out of catalogue order. So check, double check, and triple check when you will be going in.Sometimes a number before you will arrive at the last minute and the steward will stick them in after she has told you that youwill be next. If you are the first dog in, you have every right to ask the judge for the heeling pattern if he or she does not provideit. After judging a dog, the judge will add up the score if the score is qualifying, non-qualifying scores are not added upanymore and record it in the judges book. Some judges are fast at doing this and some take there time, or will have a sip of coffeeor water between dogs. Sometime another exhibitor or one of the stewards will have a question. Sometimes someone stops byto say hi. You need to keep one eye on the ring and one eye on your dog so you are both totally ready to enter the ring to do yourbest performance. If you have trained and matched properly, you should know just how mush time you need to warm up yourdog, get attention, get the old muscles going, etc. Remember, its not nice to keep a judge waiting. What I like to do is wait to gointo the ring at least five feet back from the ring gate. Just in case, as my dog and I are approaching the ring, something divertshis attention that need a last bit of correction or if I need to give that last piece of tidbit, I have five feet to do it. Make sure youdo what you have to do well before crossing that ring gate. Remember, judging begins as soon as you ENTER the ring. So beaware and be ready.LET THE JUDGING BEGIN When you enter the ring, if you are in Novice, proceed directly to the starting point. Ifyou are in Open or Utility, stop right inside the ring and hand your leash to one of the stewards and then proceed to your startingpoint. Whereas you can still talk to your dog while approaching the starting point, you cannot use the leash in any way thatconstitutes training or aiding the dog, or if in Open or Utility you cannot touch your dog other than a quiet gesture of praise. Allexercises start in heel position with the dog at the handlers left side facing the direction you will be going for your first exercise.In the Novice classes, the first exercise is always Heel on leash, and in Open A it will be Heel Free. In Utility A it is the Signalexercise. However, in Open Band Utility B, the order of exercises vary. The exact order will be listed on the ring gate post or atthe judges table. Make sure you are familiar with the order so you know where to proceed to once you enter the ring.Before you start, the judge will visually check your leash and collar. The dog must be on a loose leash which may be heldby the handler in one or both hands in a natural position. It must be made of fabric or leather and need only be long enough toprovide adequate slack during the Heel on Leash exercise. All dogs must wear a properly fitted collar approved by the judge. Nospecial training collars such as electronic or prong may be used. Nothing may be hanging from the collar. This is the time to ask any questions you might have. No question is too stupid. It may involve an AKC rule orsomething you should or should not do, so, if you have doubt, ask it before you may get a deduction for it later in yourperformance. If there are no questions, problems, etc., the judge will ask you if you are ready No exercise begins until you areready. If you are not ready, say so. Before you say yes, look at your dog to make sure he is sitting in heel position and watchingyou. Yes, now you are ready and the exercise begins. HEEL ON LEASH AND FIG. 8 - The principal feature of this exercise is the ability of you and your dog to work as ateam. The first command will be forward and you will begin walking in a normal pace up the mat. As you started to walk yourdog lagged a little resulting in a one half or more deduction depending on the severity of the lag. Yours only resulted in a halfpoint. The judge calls a halt. Nice sit. No points off. Forward. This time your dog stays with you and you receive nodeduction. The judge calls left turn and as you turn left, your dog goes wide, but comes right back to heel position. Anotherhalf point deduction. On the slow command, your dog stays perfectly in heel position. Good. No points off. The about turn isexecuted very well by both you and your dog so no points lost there. However, as the judge calls halt, and you stop, your doggets distracted by a noise outside the ring and, even though he is in heel position he sits slowly which is less than perfect and thusone half point off. The forward and right turn are good. Fast. In your mind, you are thinking, my dog has been havingtrouble with the fast and has been lagging, so Im going to go slower than my usual fast in hopes the dog will remain in heelOBEDIENCE... An Almost Lost Venue - Part IV By Marian Lazzara2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1027 PM54I I I I I i i i in44 44JulyAugust 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 55position. Big mistake You do not go fast enough resulting in NO change of pace for your dog and you loose a 3 pointsubstantial deduction. Rules say, you must slow or speed up enough so as to warrant a definite change of pace IN YOUR DOG.The dog is the one being judged. The judge may also think you are doing this purposely which you did and further deduct 1 ormore points for a handler error, lack of natural smoothness, or aiding your dog. However in this case he did not. On the otherhand, if you did go as fast as you usually do and the dog lagged, you probably only would have a minor deduction. Bet, youwont do that again. The rest of the heeling is OK and no further points are lost. After the last halt, the judge will now sayexercise finished, and you are now free to praise or pet your dog and move to the second part of this exercise, the Figure 8.The Fig. 8 will always be in a normal pace and the only commands are Forward and Halt. You may start out going eitherway. Lets say you start out going to the left which puts your dog on the inside between you and the post stewards are posts.Your dog sniffs the post resulting in a half point deduction. As you circle the other post, called the outside post because you arebetween your dog and the post, and your dog is on the outside, your dog does not speed up to stay in heel position, which resultsin a lag. Remember, this exercise is judged on how well your dog adapts his pace to stay in heel position while you maintain anormal pace. Therefore his lag gets you a half point deductions. Fortunately he catches up by the time you halt and you looseno further points. You will then go around both posts once more and there will be one more halt. Both you and your dog do agood job and no more points lost. Exercise Finished. All heeling exercises have a total point value of 40. When added up, yourdeductions resulted in a 5 point loss and you end up with 34 points for that exercise. For the most part, you and your dogworked as a team and neither did anything to warrant disqualification see the book, and you did not lose more than 21 pointswhich would result in less than 50 of the total points, so you are still qualifying after this exercise. Now, you will remove theleash, and give it to the steward. All other exercises are off lead.STAND FOR EXAMINATION - The judge will tell you to Stand your dog and leave when you are ready. You willproceed with your dog, to a spot designated by the judge to stand your dog. You may take any reasonable time to stand or posethe dog in a show pose by the method of your choice. Then you will stand up with your dog in heel position and give thecommand andor signal yes, you can do both to stay. Leave your dog, and walk straight forward about 6 feet. Even though thescoring of this exercise does not start until the stay command is given, you can still be judged on rough treatment while standingyour dog, and also any resentment on your dogs part to your stand attempts will result in a penalty. So, you can still lose points.The principal feature of this exercise is that the dog stand in position before and during the examination. The judge will approachthe dog from the front, and using the fingers and palm of one hand will touch the dogs head, body, and hindquarters. On thejudges order Back to your dog you will walk around behind your dog and return to the heel position. A NQ score must be givenif your dog sits , lies down, moves away from the place before or during the examination or growls, snaps, or displays resentment.Even though your dog did remain in place and accepted the exam, he moved a paw during the exam. Only a half point off. Hestayed in place as you returned. Good No further deductions. Total score - 29 out of 30 points. HEEL FREE - Exactly the same as heel on leash and is judged exactly the same. You proceed to the starting point byGENTLY guiding your dog by the collar, which, in Novice, you are allowed to do. Judge asks, Are you Ready Your dog isnot paying attention. You say No, you are not ready. Jack, watch. Now you are ready. Judge commands Forward. As youstart walking, your dog starts with you but then, another noise gets his attention and he slows down to look in that direction. Youkeep walking, but give another command to heel, and your dog catches up and gets back into heel position. Judge calls HaltPerfect sit. Good. However that extra command will cost you a substantial deduction. In this case 3 points, plus a point forthat lag when he got distracted. Forward Good, hes right with you. Left turn still heeling in position. Slow. Normal.Dog returns nicely to a normal pace.. About Turn very nicely executed by you and your dog and then a perfect halt. ForwardDog starts out good but lags into the right turn but then catches up. Half point. Uh...Oh here comes the fast. Your fast pace isgood and your dog does change pace even though he heels a little bit wide which only costs a half point.. Normal Good. Dogis now back in heel position and executes a perfect about turn. Halt Oh, boy, a nice straight sit. Exercise finished Whereasyou technically lost 1 points on heeling that extra command cost you that additional 3 points. Thats a total 4 points lost.Total for Heel Free is 35 . Still qualifying. There is no Figure Eight in this Heel Free exercise.RECALL - You may still guide your dog gently to the spot designated by the judge to start the recall. When ready, thejudge will tell you to Leave your dog. You will command andor signal your dog to stay and walk to the other end of the ring,and turn to face your dog with your arms and hands hanging naturally at your side. When the judge commands or signals youto call your dog, you are allowed to use his name as well as the command to come. You can also use a signal, however if you douse a signal, you are not allowed to use his name. Jack, Come Good, hes coming in at a nice brisk pace, but slows down ashe approaches you and sits about a foot from you. The slow place would lose you a minor to substantial deduction, dependingon severity and slowness. Rules say the dog must come at a brisk trot or gallop. Your dog just slowed down a tad so only just point deduction. Now, even though your dog IS sitting straight in front of you, he is about a foot out. This is classified asa less that perfect sit in front and must lose points. Probably is this case to 1point loss. If he sat out so far, that you could nottouch his head without bending, stretching, or moving a foot, the points lost would be substantial. On the judges command, heshould go smartly to finish and end up back in heel position at your left side, which in this case, he does, so no more points lost.2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1027 PM55I I I I I i i i in44 4456 - JULYAUGUST 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWLets, see, 1 point for slowing up, and 1 point for that not close enough sit in front. Total points lost is 1 . Still to this point,a qualifying score.A perfect sub-total score is 140 points, with 60 points left to go for the group exercises. You are NOT allowed to knowthis total nor are you allowed to know your total score until ALL judging is done and recorded in the judges book, and placementsare given out. So dont askEven if you had NQd, you must still wait around for the group exercises. AKC rule. Make sure you ask the stewardwhen this will be, and be sure you are at ringside while the last dog prior to the group exercises is in the ring. Nothing is morerude or irritating to the judge, stewards, or fellow exhibitors, as an exhibitor that has to be searched for. The steward will lineyour group up in NUMERICAL ORDER. No exceptions You will all enter the ring in order, on leash, and be lined up along oneof the four sides of the ring.. Then you will remove your lead and place it, with your armband, behind your dog. The judge willask if everyone is ready. When the judge gives the order, the handler will command andor signal their dogs to sit if they are notalready doing so. The judge will command Leave your dog and all handlers will command andor signal their dogs to stay andwalk IMMEDIATELY to the opposite end of the ring, turn and face their dogs for one minute. Lets see what is happening. Dog1 is sitting very nice. So is 2, but 3 is starting to whine and bark. This is upsetting 4, who gets up and goes to his handler.s 5, 6, and 7 are distracted, but remain in place. You are 7, so all is well. 8 decides to lay down just before the command toreturn to your dogs You return promptly, walk behind your dog to heel position and await the judges exercise finished.However, before the judge says exercised finished, your dog lays down. Scores are as follows Dogs 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 all receivea perfect score of 30 points. Because 3 repeatedly whined and barked throughout the exercise, he receives a non-qualifyingscore. One or two whines or barks would only have points off. You return to heel position but BEFORE the judge said exercisefinished, your dog laid down. Because 8 laid down BEFORE the handler returned, he must receive a non-qualifying score,however your dog laid down AFTER you returned but BEFORE the judge said exercise finished, so you DO qualify but receivea 5 point substantial deduction. Your score for this exercise. 25 points. Now the long down. On the judges command to Downyour Dogs, handler 4 has trouble and ends up touching her dog to down him and thus loses a point. There may be a minor tosubstantial deduction for anyone touching their dog while getting it into the down position. Also any rough treatment or any dogresisting the down position will lose a minor to substantial deduction or even a NQ depending on severity. Leave your dogs.Dogs 1, 2, and 3, are staying, but 4 is starting to bark again. NQ for him. 5, 6, 7 your dog, and 8 all stay down. Perfectscores for everyone. As the Judge orders handlers back to their dogs, dog 8 stands up. Because he stood up BEFORE thehandler returned his score becomes NQ. The rest of us return with no problem. Exercise Finished Before handlers leave thering, the judge will tell each one if they have qualified or not. Yeah, youve qualified. That means CD leg 1. Two to go. Younow await your score.After recording all final scores in his book the judge will decipher his 1st thru 4th placements. Any ties are done by anindividual Heel Free run-off. Today, we did not have an tied scores. The judge now calls ALL the qualifiers back into the ring.After the placements are given out, he will inform the rest of the exhibitors privately of their score. After all the scores are givenout, and he is not busy, feel free to ask him any questions you may have regarding your performance. Any judge will be morethan happy to do this. The judge may also tell you the number of points lost in each exercise. However, he is NOT required todo this. A copy of the scoring from the judges book is always at the secretarys table. These will be there til the close of the show.It is a good idea to look up your breakdown as it tells you how many points were lost and how you ended up with the score youdid. Lets check the breakdown sheets for your performance. Heel on Leash and Fig. 8 - 5 points lost out of 40. 34 forthat exercise. Stand for Exam - - total 29 . Heel Free - Thanks to that extra command, substantial deduction of 3 pointsadded to an additional 1 on heeling mistakes, youve lost 4 which gives you 35 for that exercise. Recall was pretty good- only 1 off. Total is 28 . Your sum total is 128 out of a perfect total of 140. That trouble with the long sit exerciseremember your dog stood up after you returned to heel position cost you a whopping 5 points. Luckily the long down was OKso that was a perfect 30 points for that exercise. Total for both - 55 points added to your sub-total give you a score of 183. Thereis no additional penalty for any misbehavior, so your final score is 183 out of 200. Now, you know what to go home and workon. Changing pace during heeling to insure a change of pace in your dog. Distractions during heeling. Remember that extracommand which cost you an unnecessary 3 point deduction, and by working on proofing your dog to stay sitting after you returnto heel position until you release him will give you those extra 5 points you lost when your dog got up. Major mistakes that canbe avoided. You are encouraged to go home and keep on training. Not only to work for those last 2 CD legs, but to go on to Openand Utility. Maybe even a UDX or OTCH. Maybe you will go on to do Rally, or Agility. Your obedience training is only thestart of many possibilities out there.As you continue attending classes, train with friends, and attend matches and more trials, you realize you are not alonein your ventures. Yes, my friends, Obedience LIVES And is does not have to be the almost lost venue, many people believe itto be.

Not the kind that may leap immediately to your mind.The title of the list is The Judges L.It is published automatically on a daily basis and is a chat room for judges.Believe it or not, there is seldom discussion concerning exhibitors, specifically orgenerally. Most judges are more concerned with judging. Breed specifics are of greatinterest and American Kennel Club matters generate much exchange of ideas.Recently someone requested information on how parent clubs approve mentors.The inquiry was triggered by some new decisions by the Judges Department to rearrangesome aspects of the Breed Approval Criteria for those desiring to apply for new breeds.For years, The American Kennel Club has left the education of judges to theParent Clubs such as the American Pomeranian Club and to Judges Associations. We frequently hear that AKC spendsa large sum of money on judges education every year. However, that is referring to the processing of judges applicationsand has little relevance to the actual training of the judge to do the best possible job in understanding and applying thebreed standard.I was interested in the discussion that followed because I wear 2 hats for two separate organizations. Inaddition to being Judges Education Coordinator for the American Pomeranian Club, I have the position of seminarcoordinator for The Carolina Dog Judges Association, which offers seminars to their members and other judges seekingto further their breed specific knowledge. Finding people who are approved by the parent club to present seminars is achallenging task to say the least. Usually seminar presenters and mentors are parent club members who are wearingtwo hats and who love their breed.Just how parent clubs select these crucial people to serve was of great interest to me. I feel the need to equipEVERY SINGLE APC MEMBER with the credentials to serve the POMERANIAN in this capacity.Some clubs have almost no requirements. No big surprise, considering the APC has not had any guidelinesuntil recently. It is mostly due to the lack of fore thought. It just hasnt been a priority.Some parent clubs have requirements so stringent that one wonders if any member is willing to volunteer for thetask. Others are so slack that it leads to concern about whether the assistance is of value to any one. The most amazingto me was the one that required all prospective mentors and presenters to take a 75 question test on the standard andPASS it Even AKC only requires that judges take a test that has 25 questions. But there is an oral exam that must bepassed satisfactorily or else.Considering every aspect, learning and training are essential. Without knowledgeable mentors what does thefuture hold for the Pomeranian as a recognizable breed. Do we lose our identity and become just a name in the pedigreeof some yet unnamed Designer Dog What would the name of our breed be in the future Pomahua Pomeranian Chihuahua Shelpum SheltiePomeranian. Or my personal favorite a Crested Pompom a cross with a ChineseCrested. HEAVEN FORBIDAdded to the mix, AKC has removed the In ring observation experience so that breed expert judges can nolonger tutor aspiring judges at dog shows. The substitution will be to have those individuals who want to gain knowledgeroaming around at ringside seeking an exhibitor who has experience to take time out from grooming their dog forcompetition and explain the breed to the student judge.So just what does the future hold for our dogs and us Do we step up to the plate and take a stand Do we insiston preserving our beautiful, distinctive breed for the future or do we turn our back, stick our head in the sand and cry,Let somebody else do itI prefer to stand and be counted. If you will join me, send me an e-mail at edwardamartinbellsouth.net and tellme that you will be in Louisville in March 2007 and you will be a part of the solution to help preserve THEPOMERANIAN. Then you will be on the most important list of all - The List of APPROVED MENTORS.2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1028 PM5744 4r___4i i i i n58 - JULYAUGUST 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWTherese L.

Young on May 3,2006. A lady of great pride and dignity and honored member of the Bay Colony Pomeranian Club,Jessie served in many capacities. Her contributions to the club and expertise will be greatly missed.Jessie started breeding collies under the kennel name of Jabil in 1946. This grew into asuccessful boarding and grooming facility. She later moved to Loudon in 1954 and established herhome TARA. She raised her family and countless animals with undying love and devotion.Well respected by all, in the 70s Jessie developed a highly renowned line of Pomeranians.Jabil Poms not only met the standard, but raised the bar. They achieved success in the conformationring as well. Jessie traveled numerous times to the Cotswold and Malvern areas in England andwas an avid Red Sox and Patriot fan.Descended from Harriet Beecher Stow and Henry Beecher, her unassuming appearancebelied her capability and determination to get a point across to those who were fortunate to be inher presence. Jessie set high standards and held great commitment to the Pomeranian breed.Living her life to the fullest, her values and dignity, as well as knowledge of the breed, will be longrespected. As breeders, we must honor Jessie by our continued commitment to our breed standard.We do not mourn her passing, but celebrate her life.

HeartzBefore we look at the Pomeranian moving, we need to keep in mind how it is built. Eliminate all thehair for a moment and remember that when viewing a standing Pomeranian from the rear, the hind legsshould be just slightly outside the width of the front legs.A Closer LookRears in MotionThis series is copyrightedand cannot be reproducedin whole or part withoutpermission.As the dog begins to move away, you should notice the rear legs extending out behind so that you seethe pads of the feet. This means the dog is fully extending the leg and following through with the foot.A dog that does not show the pads of his feet when moving away would be lacking the necessarydrive. He may be too straight behind so that the front is actually dragging the rear, leaving no time forthe full extension of the hock and foot as he moves.The Pomeranianstanding, viewedfrom behind.The same dogwithout hair.Correct rearmovement.At a walk orslow trot, legsare parallel atthis speed.2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1029 PM60I I I I I i i i in4KLfr'\uru\for.. .fj4 4yvL\ li"1ViwW', Vtoih -V.,liikw\vim w'Jj.f14JulyAugust 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 61If you could view the movement without hair you would also notice that the hock must travel in exactlythe same line as the rear leg. The hocks should remain straight and parallel with the entire leg as ittravels. It is important that the hocks do not turn in or out, and that the toes remain in the same line asthe entire legs as it moves. Nothing should be pointing in or outward.This is the same dogmoving at optimum speedfast trot single tracking.The legs are still straight.Notice how the entire leg,from pelvis to heel istraveling in the same line,but converging toward acenter line.Too wideandparallelbehind.Cow-hocked.The hocks are almosttouching and the toesare pointing outward.This dog would beunable to convergetoward a center linebecause he is builtincorrectly.As the Pomeranian walks away, the rear legs will be straight and parallel to one another from thepelvis to the heel. If you could video tape the movement and play it back slowly, you would notice thatas his speed increases, the dog compensates by placing the opposite rear leg closer to an imaginarycenter line so that he can remain balanced. If he did not single track, the dog would roll when hemoved, which is not the type of movement we want in a Pom.You may notice a Pomeranian moving parallel behind. This is usually because the dog is moving at aslower speed than would be comfortable to be efficient. He could probably be moved a bit faster andyou would notice that he started to incline inwards toward a center line. This is not to say that aPomeranian should run while in the ring but rather should move at a speed that is both comfortable tothe dog and shows his movement to its best advantage. Keep in mind that even at faster speeds, thehocks must always remain straight and in line with the leg as it moves. The hocks do not turn inward oroutward, nor should the pads of the feet cross over the imaginary center line.This dog is movingtoo close behind,assuming that he ismoving at hisoptimum speed. If heis moving slowing,and he were to speedup, he would probablycross over behind.Crossingoverbehind.2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 692006, 1121 PM61I I I I I i i i in4n.4^'5i- ft X .V, iVIJi\ 4M,4 4vhxrIfr V,-x .J v,tV 4AWH4 JP'' ry.ft sftT,V. .\4it' VWjJ. m 462 - JULYAUGUST 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWThis year the Pomeranian Club of Central Indiana held a Winter Pom-Olympics to raise money for rescue. We had awonderful time and a great many laughs as well as receiving extra rescue funding. Each entrant paid 2.00 per event. Thewinners received gold, silver and bronze medals as well as participation certificates.The events were as follows, the Bob Sled event. PCCI member Kathy Gould had her little CH. Betsy on a snowshovel with her grandson Nathan as driver. Nathan managed to pull Betsy ALL the way around the course I had been trainingmy boy for two weeks and he lasted a mere twenty two seconds.Another event included the Longest Hair, won by Bill and Mary Hiltons cute rescue. Tied with them were Mike andSharon Maylen and little BB. A guest, Deb, took the bronze with her rescue Pom, Dasia.Our next event was the Singing Competition. PCCI Member Kathy Gould held her two of her girls Ch. Betsy andAddy. Kathy sang, her girls sang, and everyone rolled on the floor. Thank you Kathy for the lovely performance.The Fifty Yard Dash actually about thirty feet was the largest entry. A couple of Poms went go the wrong way. Theend result was Bill and Brenda Adams little blacktan girl dashing over the finish line in the second heat. Thanks to Bill andBrenda for entering almost every class in support of rescue.We then had the Prize Fishing event in which the dogs had to submerge their snouts to retrieve treats. Karin Wise hada hands down winner with her snorkeling Pommie. Sherrilyn Rogers also had a little one diving right in and waiting for thenext treat Who says labs are the water loversThe contest of Heavy Weight went to Connie Calders Pom TedE, while the Light Weight winner was owned by Billand Brenda Adams.Finally, we had an unexpected turn in the Tug-O-War event. There were no dogs of equal size entered. Karin Wisehad a boy that took Sherrilynn Rogers little one for a backwards walk in the first heat. However, in the second heat,Sherrilynns Pom had other plans and managed to pull the larger dog backwards a few feet.By Kelley Scott, PCCI Rescue and EducationPom-Olympics Continued 2006 PCCI WinterPom-Olympics2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 692006, 1121 PM62i i w i n4ir \ 1 1aJi SMI- Kj idlit W.11 jl1p iniHI \r. iri44JulyAugust 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 63In the interest of all Pomeranian lovers, the Pom Olympics was ahilarious success.

Flitter runs in 4" preferred and Iri runs inthe 8" division. Friday started with jumpers and Iri ran first. She is my 3 year old and it was a year ago that she fell offthe teeter and landed on her head and neck and was knocked out for 5 minutes. Iri has had troubleconcentrating when she sees pole setters and the judge and the crowd since her fall. The first run shenqed when she entered the weave poles, looked up and saw the crowd and then remembered she wasdoing something. BUT then she did 2 off courses the first was to go out wide to a jump in the directionof a pole setter and the other was to cut in on a jump closer to the judge. I was thrilled with her nqThen it was Flitters turn to run. She was on fire for her and the run was absolutely in the zone A trueZen Run Flitter adds AJP to her list of accomplishments And moved to excellent B to try for amasters leg. Then we ran the standard courses. Iri ran first again. She kept it together and I found myselfsinging out directions. She was so perfect on course I couldnt think of a place she could have donebetter Then Flitter ran. She had a great run, I didnt peel off enough speed on her and she enteredthe poles at 2-3, later she had to stop with her nose glued to the ground on a piece of Indie fluffanother pom that ran before us just before the table. Flitter was actually bounding though thecourse. Saturday started off with the small dogs first. Flitter opened the trial as the first dog to run for the dayin standard. She ran a course of perfection and earned her AXP Another move into the B class formasters legs. Iri ran later and nqed when she was more responsive to a shoulder roll than Ianticipated and came inside a jump. Later she hit a weave pole entrance but again looked into the crowdand missed poles but the run was very nice. Then Flitter started everyone in jumpers and I didnt get a cross in where I wanted to and Flitter wentaround a jump, turned to find me and back jumped it. 2 jumps later, she picked another jump to go outbig to for an off course that was usually a trap for the big dogs. It was a great run though. Iri ranwith so much fire and passion again I found that I was singing my directions and that there wasnta paw out of place. She earned her 2nd jumpers leg.2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 692006, 1121 PM64i i i in4r n4jT'iJtmr ft' .I l \ mmml' IjrT- ii11JrA 4 4nL J4JulyAugust 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 65Performance Continued It became apparent the girls were taking turns with qualifying so as not to detract from each othersDiva Moments. Sunday couldnt get better could it Iri ran first in jumpers and we ran a screaming course, with ahairy moment when she turned the wrong way on a rear cross, but reoriented to the correct directionand did not back jump, to earn a Q. AND her AXJ Flitter ran next in a clean run with 3 bobbleswhere I miscued, stopped and held for her to get back on to her line of travel for her first MJP leg Icouldnt believe 2 clean runs on the same course. All that was left for the weekend was standard. Iri ran first and worked layered jumps toward thecrowd like a pro Clean run for a 2nd AX leg and a double Q on the day Flitter ran last and had agorgeous run. I layered a jump and called her in a bit too much so she came inside the tire jump. Therest of the run was wonderful with a surprise ending she came down the A frame, tucked into thetunnel at the base, shot out to the jump straight in line where I did a right angle cross behind and pullto the last jump and the automatic timer. Flitter looked at me over her shoulder and gave me her tailas she bee-lined it to the chute which was about 25' away and with the entrance at a right angle to herline of travel Obviously she would like to play gamblers and really knows how to find the chuteentrance Flitter was SOOO proud of herself Weekend results 3 excellent titles and 1 masters leg and 2 excellent legs Amazing what happenswhen one takes a few minutes to come out of the show kitchen It is going to take me a while to getback to reality.We now have a MACH2 Pomeranian in Agility. Cindy Bricks, a fellow trainer who was there to seeit happen wrote, Gail Donaldson and her Turbo Pom April who flowed through the courses today andmade it look easy and went on to finish their MACH2. Gail and April were the 1 Pom in AKC agilityfor 2005. Gail and April flow around the courses and push the limits. What is even more interesting isthat April was on her 3rd home by the time Gail got her.A SCHUTZHUND TITLE WELL SEEAngie Patchen, whose Pom Kodak won High in Trial in 2005 at the National Specialty, is now training himfor the BH The BH is a Schutzhund title. Its essentially a temperament test. It has to be completedbefore continuing to the more advanced titles - for dogs big enough to complete those. - For those who like details This is an outside sport, done on an open field in any weather.The BH involves A LOT of heeling . Theres an on-leash heel pattern about 135 paces with a group afigure 8 difference from AKC obed. is there are 4 people there. You leave the group, remove theleash and repeat the figure 8 and heel pattern. Then there is a moving sit - heel forward 10 paces, givethe sit command and continue forward 30 paces, stop, turn around and return to the dog. Then youheel forward 10 paces, give the down command and continue 30 paces forward. You recall the dogfrom the down and have them finish. This is done in pairs, so while one dog is working, the other isdoing a long down with the handler 30 paces away from the dog with their back turned. All of theabout turns are left abouts. The hardest part This is a memorized pattern.After that, the dogs undergo a traffic test. People form a circle, you walk the dog in and have himsit. The people circle around, close in and back out. You leave the circle and repeat this with the dogin the down. Then you walk your dog while someone jogs across your path and a bicycle goes by and2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 692006, 1121 PM65i i i in4r4 4L J466 - JULYAUGUST 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWPerformance Continuedrings a bell. Then you tie the dog and go out of sight while someone walks a dog by and a person walksby the dog. This is the true temperament test part. Ive been a Schutzhund groupy for a couple years. My trainers do the sport. It is a lot to remember. Walking it several times without the dog was a must. It requires any dog to be in good shape and I thinkfor the small dogs, drive is a must. Since I know the pattern and have a nutty little Pom, I think Ill gofor it. It would be really rewarding to be the first of something That traffic test would be the decidingfactor for little dogs with issues - aggression or serious shyness.My Schipperke bitch completed hers in Oct. Ive heard that there is one other Schip with this title and ittook 3 times to earn it. Angie hopes to show Kodak in June well be watching for a report on the results For anyone interested inmore information, there is a detailed description at httpwww.geocities.comColosseumLoge4844BH.html. And just in case you were wondering, BH stands for Begleithunde. Now do you know any more thanyou didTRACKINGAnn Griffith writesBogey went tracking today and faced a new challenge. We went to an area he hasnt been to before. The track started invery short sparse cover, made a turn, then in the middle of the second leg, it went abruptly into very tall lush green grass.Note to self find shorter cover or make taller flags. What I failed to notice when I laid it was a big thistle just exactlynose-high on Bogey, right at the edge of the change of cover. He worked the first corner pretty hard but picked it up andwent on. Then we reached the change of cover. He figured out the track went into the tall cover, but when he committed, hisnose and the thistle collided. He immediately came back to me, sat on my feet, and announced that Pomeranians are lapdogs, and lap dogs do not track into thistles. I urged him on. He sat on my feet. I picked him up and put him back into thescent pool, past the thistle. He immediately came back, sat on my feet, and repeated his observation about Poms and thistles.Repeat thrice. Finally I put him in the scent pool, took hold of his harness, and walked him down the track. He resisted withevery fiber of his being for about 10 feet, then decided to track. He finished the remainder of the track in terrific style. Afterwe came out of the tall cover and went back into the short stuff, he figured out that tracking is easier in tall cover and wantedto go back. LOLI ran my collie on the same track, and she had trouble with that thistle, too, so it wasnt just a size issue. But, as I explainedpatiently to both of them, thistles happen. I think they both figured out that it is possible to go around thistles.The collie had a light-bulb-above-the-head moment today. I think shes finally figured out what tracking is about. Now itwill be a race to see which one gets a TD first. Bogey is way ahead of Rave at this point, but he hasnt hit the wall yet. Heshould be there in two-three weeks and well see how long it takes him to get past it.There are at least two other people on the Active Pomeranian e-list who are training their Poms for tracking,so we may have some tracking titles coming soon. Join us to talk about all these activities see below.STATISTICSThe AKC statistics are now available on AKC Pomeranian titles for 2005. We may find something interestingin them. Obedience saw 16 CD titles, 2 CDX, 1 UD, and 1 UDX. Rally showed 53 RN, 16 RA, 6 RE, and 1RAE titles. Agility had 18 NAs, 16 OAs, 9 AXs, 5 MXs, 29 NAJs, 14 OAJs, 11 AXJs, 4 MXJs, 42006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1118 PM66i i i in4r n4 4L J4JulyAugust 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 67MACHs, 7 MACH2s, 1 MACH4, 7 NAPs, 4 OAPs, 1 AXP, 1 MXP, 12 NJPs, 7 OJPs, 4 AJPs, 1 MJP,and 1 MJP2.That means that there were 93 Obedience and Rally titles and 156 Agility titles, for a total of 249 CompanionEvents titles finished by Pomeranians in 2005. This compares to a total of 290 Pomeranian breedChampionships in 2005. In Companion Events, many of the titles are obtained by the same dog during thesame year. For example, we know that all the RA, RE, and RAE dogs had previously acquired in 2005 theRN title and whichever of the other titles led up to the latest title. Most Agility dogs get both the Standardand Jumpers titles, at least in Novice, within the same month, and many go on to do the same thing in Open.Still, that is a large number of dogs, and a lot of showing we have much to be proud ofIm sorry not to be able to print the titles this month, but hope theyll be ready for the next issue.

To ease his mind, I assured him he would have the final say whether or not we wouldadopt her. Gracie must have known whom to impress because she went to my husband immediately with her toy. She was oursJo, the rescue coordinator, told us that the reason her original owners had given her up was because she had chronic diarrhea.Gracie was born in Florida and her owner had moved to Indiana about 2 months earlier, about when the current episode ofdiarrhea had started, so we thought that the diarrhea was probably caused by stress. According to the sketchy vet records that weobtained with her, we knew that Gracie had a history of chronic diarrhea, but thought it would be rather simple to control withgood diet and a stable home. She also was clearly anorexic. One could feel every rib, her backbone, hipbones and breastbone. Joand I agreed that we would give her a trial period and if she didnt work out with us, we could return her to Jo.After we took Gracie home, we realized the extent of her diarrhea. It was not only constant she had the diarrhea between15-24 times each day but it was also very bloody. We took her to our vet on Monday, February 20 for a thorough exam and shewas given Flagyl. That did little to improve her symptoms and it was soon augmented with Amoxicillin and Metronidazole.These also produced no results so Gracie was referred to a vet internist. The internist performed an ultrasound followed by acolonoscopy with a biopsy. The colonoscopy showed some intestinal irritation and bleeding. The ultrasound did not show anyclear intestinal abnormalities. The internist thought she might have been suffering from an intestinal telescoping where the smallintestine spasms and collapses into the large intestine. He prescribed Metronidazole and Questran.Gracie showed little improvement over the next few weeks even after had her medications were changed to Sulfasalazine.Finally, she underwent an exploratory laporotomy and several biopsies were taken. The surgery showed extensive thickening ofthe bowel in several places and an abnormal thickening of the adjacent lymph glands. Suspecting it might be Pythiosis, acommon water-borne disease her biography stated she loved swimming or some other fungal disease, she was started on 2different, and expensive, anti-fungal drugs Itraconazole and Terbinafine. The initial pathology report simply indicated thepresence of a fungus. The lab did a second test and still could not pinpoint the nature of the fungus. A former veterinarian fromOhio State University was consulted. He examined the tissue and concluded that that the likely fungus was Sporotrichosis. Thisfungus is present nearly everywhere in the environment in soil and vegetation. It typically manifests itself as a skin abscess on2006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1119 PM72AH nr wv v\i0,4 4t \K4JulyAugust 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 73When we were invited to relate the achievements of our Pero Ch. Howlene Teahra Impero, HOF, GC, ROM in the Review,we were incredulous at first, then excited and honored. Other than in ads, how often does one get to brag about their babyin a national magazine it was an honorHawaii has an average of only 21 shows a year 6 held on neighbor islands with the Pom ring having one of the highestentries.Whelped in March 2001, Pero and his litter sister Ch. Howlene Teahra You Go Girl Cats entered their first show at sixmonths of age. He won the Breed over several champions and went on to Group Four. Cats took WB and BOS. Hazel,Robin and I were three very proud MomsBest in Show was won at age 11 months from the Bred-By Class. This was at Hawaiian Kennel Club, which holds our largestshows.Pero has been Hawaiis 1 Pom, has placed in the Top Ten Toys and the Top Ten All Breeds for the last 4 years. His recordBIS, 33 - BOBs, 14 Group Ones and many placements. In spite of the low number of shows, Pero has placed nationallyseveral times. Recently he was 25th for the year 2005 and was 6th as of February 2006. He and some of his get have beeninvited to several Eukanuba shows. However, the quarantine problem hinders us from entering.We dont breed a lot averaging less than one litter a year. Pero has sired eight Howlene Teahra pups and of these 5 arefinished one with 9 points. All were shown in the Bred By Class.Its been a challenge as he is a larger boy and many judges first priority is tiny. Some judges commented that theypreferred a smaller dog, but could not deny his structure and soundness. Tiny is certainly not a top priority in our limitedbreeding program, so well keep meeting that challenge.It is so heartwarming to know that a magazine such as the Pom Review can be interested in a faraway dogs achievements.Much mahalo, especially to a very special lady, Brenda Segelken.Ch.

Capone, a 2-year-old pit bull owned by GarryLaffredi of Waukegan, is recovering after beingattacked by a Pomeranian.They stand their ground, those little dogs, she said, describing how one of her relatives has a small mixedbreeddog that charges her own pit bull and Labrador every time the three dogs cross paths.Thats basically what happened Thursday afternoon at a Sunset Avenue apartment complex, where GarryLaffredi said he was walking his 2-year-old pit bull Capone when a neighbors Pomeranian came running at them.Capones not a bad guy. Hes real friendly. Hes people friendly, Laffredi said. He loves other dogs.But this little Pomeranian ran out and starts biting him on the foot.Pomeranians, which are classified as Toy dogs by the American Kennel Club, can be as small as three poundsand resemble a fox in appearance, generally having a bushy orange coat and pointed ears.Laffredi said the Pomeranian bit Capones foot hard enough to draw blood also managed to nick Capone onthe top of the head as he tried to pull the pit bull away on a leash.Eventually, Laffredi said, Capone grabbed the dog and more or less set him off to the side before the twodogs were separated.Citations issuedAnimal control officers called to the scene reported that Laffredi told them the Pomeranian also bit him on thehand two weeks ago, but he chose not to report it at the time. The owner of the Pomeranian was issued four citationsfor Thursdays incident failure to prevent a dog bite, owning a dog running at large, not possessing a dog licenseand not having updated rabies shots.Each citation comes with a 25 fine if paid within 30 days. Fragassi said in cases of a first-time animal-toanimalbite with no current rabies shots, the animal is not seized but the owner must have the dog checked by aveterinarian for rabies after 10 days.The owner of the Pomeranian declined to speak about the incident, describing it as an unfortunate episodethat she wanted to put behind her.0422062006 JULY AUG REVIEW.p65 682006, 1120 PM78I I I I I i i i in4w4 Mx1]Vt 4''8, rV4 44JulyAugust 2006 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 79Pom TaleReprinted from the October 1963 Pom ReviewComes now another dog story, this time about two little Pomeranians, both real cut-ups, whowent for a drive in the family car all by themselves.It happened this way Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Evelyn Michael of Route 1, Greensboro, droveover to a grocery store on Highway 220 about three miles south of town. She pushed the drive lever inneutral, left the engine running and dashed into the store to buy a package of cheese crackers. The littledogs had been acting hungry, or at least they had been acting up.When she came back out a couple of minutes later, the dogs were gone. So was the car It wasrolling merrily down Highway 220, legal as sunrise on the right side of the road. Wasnt going very fastbecause the engine was idling and neither one of the dogs could reach the gas pedal.Mrs. Michael took one horrified look and tore after it as hard as she could tear, and that waspretty fast. When she caught up, both little dogs were perched on the drivers seat, paws on the steeringwheel, doing an altogether commendable job. Still, Mrs. Michael didnt trust them. She jumped in andtook over the wheel herself.How did it happen One of the little beggars had pushed the automatic drive lever into drive.Risky thing. Both of them could have been pulled in for not having a license.Writers and other communicators who specialize in purebred dogs are invited to enter competition for the Purebred Alliance ofWriters PAW Arthur Frederick Jones award to be presented at PAWs Second Annual Meeting and Luncheon February 10, 2007, atSardis Restaurant, New York City, the Saturday before the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
