Itwas a long and cold winter and late arriving spring. And eversince, gas prices keep going higher. People are not going toshows as frequently as before as they just cannot afford the priceof entries, motel rooms and gas. Ive noticed that entry numbersare dropping so that shows, which typically had majors, nowThis is the time of year that planning for next years National in Kentucky gets to be serious. It is exciting to know thatthe room at the Clarion Hotel we have for next years show is 22,000 sq. feet, which is way larger than what we had towork with in previous years.The Club is always in need of volunteers in order to make the National the best it can possibly be. One of our primeneeds at this time is relating to the Top Twenty event. Jackie Rayner chaired this very popular and worthwhile projectthe past two years since its inception however we are presently in need of fresh talent to helm this event and othersto assist with it.

Most exhibitors will have to tighten up financial belts if they wish to keep going to shows. Bethankful that we are not in England, where I am told gas Petro is presently a whopping 10.00 per gallon.Plans are well underway for our next years show in Kentucky. We are looking for people who would be willing to help usput on the Top Twenty.

S3if v \4 4I' Ir9 1^[ljff AI1hx fv"M4i i i n34 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW Annette Davis, CNA sk Us AnythingOur question for this issue is What can I do to help my Pom lose weightFor humans and canines alike, a high calorie diet coupled with a lack of physical activity often leads to obesity. Hypothyroidism, insulindisorders, rare genetic diseases, and medications such as steroids may also be causative factors.Obesity greatly increases the risk of serious preventable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, gallbladderdisease, osteoarthritis, and respiratory disorders. Increasing physical activity and restricting calorie intake are the best treatment options.Dogs who are used to being overfed often strongly object to food restrictions. Owners may find it next to impossible to resist the begging andpuppy dog eyes. It is important to remind yourself that, by giving into the begging, you are feeding your dog to death. Following the planbelow will give your dog a longer, healthier life. 1 Choose a premium dog food free of sugars, artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. A lower fat 12 for dry food 3 for cannedfood food will help with calorie content. 2 Rather than free feeding, divide your dogs rations into 2 daily servings. Warning toy puppies under one year of age are prone tohypoglycemia. It is not prudent to restrict feedings until after one year of age. If your puppy seems to be overweight, cut back treats andincrease exercise instead. 3 Cut back the quantity you are feeding by 10 per week for 3 weeks 30 reduction. Weigh your dog weekly using an infant scale or akitchen scale. Using your bathroom scale may not be sensitive enough for Poms. See the attached chart used with permission from NestlePurina Pet Care to help you recognize your adult dogs ideal body weight. 4 Do not feed table scraps or give high calorie treats. You may keep small cubes of frozen lean meats to give as rewards in limitedquantities. 5 For a mid-day snack, you can mix string beans andor cooked carrots with a tablespoon of low fat cottage cheese or plain yogurt. Again,limit the quantities of all snacks. 6 Use a top dressing such as Nupro, The Missing Link, or Spirulina Powder. These supplements contain nutrients which help support healthand weight loss. 7 Provide room to run and daily exercise opportunities such as walks with speed bursts. Taking walks with your dog will benefit both ofyou. 8 See your veterinarian if your dog fails to lose weight after 2 months. Your dog may have an underlying health problem such ashypothyroidism which requires veterinary care. Our next question is What is hypothyroidism You may direct new questions or answers to these questions to Annette Davis, 391 N.

I have also been an 18-year member of the Utah ValleyKennel Club and a founding member of the Beehive Toy Group of Utah having served on the Board and Show Committeesfor both clubs. I have met and become friends with many wonderful people who have enriched my life in many ways,encouraged me and stood by me over the years. I will always be grateful for their love, trust and knowledge. I would like tothank all of my friends that have helped me over the years. I have built close and deep friendships, shared laughter and tears,and traveled with wonderful people. I have a truly deep love and appreciation for this breed.Pomeranians have been a part of my life since the age of two, but my passion and enthusiasm for show dogs began afterattending a local dog show. I was absolutely fascinated and joined the Utah Valley Kennel Club and shortly thereafter theAPC and the Beehive Toy Group of Utah. I spent several years working at the local shows, learning how shows and AKCworked while looking for a show dog. I read every book I could get my hands on about structure, movement, color genetics,and health issues. I also studied every pedigree I was able to get as well. I originally wanted to start in parti-colored poms butat that point in time it was extremely difficult to finish anything of color and so I decided to stay with the traditional colorsI had grown up with.I met Randy Blackburn, Painters, who was working with Art and Joy Davison, Jo-Arts, with his breeding program whichincluded Queenaire Diamond Apple ROM Star and purchased my foundation bitch from him, Painters Modern Classic,CGC. I was also fortunate to be able to use Star in my breeding program and will always be grateful for that. I bred veryrarely as I was raising a family so have had very few litters in the past 18 years.The first Pomeranian I finished was Ch Painters Tinkle Lil Star an orange sable that Randy gave me. Tink was a Stargrandson. Tink was a natural born show dog and when he walked into the ring could easily have shown himself.

As you can see we now have a wonderful logo toremind us that our Pomeranians care remains forevercompletely in our hands. This logo was designed anddonated by Christine Heartz. As always, her creativityand caring effort well represents the PomeranianCharitable Trust and the spirit of the Pom community.And what better method to present this persona to todays world than on the Internet The PCT finally has its very own website.Please visit it at www.pomeraniancharitabletrust.org It will keep you informed of any new information we have aboutAlopecia X. It is also a good place to direct newcomers to the breed for their initial knowledge of this condition. We finallyhave a proper billboard to thank our generous donors.Now is also the time to give the Pom community a big round of applause. You should feel proud. Our DNA blood sampledrive was very successful. We now have enough samples to complete this phase of Dr. Leebs Alopecia X research project.Martine Huslig was able to work out a method that would facilitate using both U.S.A. and Canadian volunteers. Martine saidthis response was unprecedented. I explained to her that it shows both the caring nature of our people and the frustrationweve endured about not being able to find out scientific answers relating to Alopecia X.Let me relate what a win-win attitude can accomplish. We are very fortunate to have Martine demonstrate this attitude. Justabout the time our DNA drive was complete, I had a call from the genome project at the Broad Institute requesting samplesof Pomeranian DNA to enhance their earlier work. I didnt feel that we could ask the Pom community for more blood sosoon after this very successful campaign. Honoring the confidentiality of the donors, Martine worked at asking some donorsif it would be OK to change destinations with their samples in order to share some with the Broad Institute. This was beyondher responsibilities with Mars Veterinary. And to keep the same offer to the donors, the PCT offered to reimburse the vet fees.We did this at the time only considering the potential vast scope of future projects that the genome project has. Later, wefound out that Dr. Leeb would be working in conjunction with the Broad Institute for our Alopecia X project. So, now weknow these projects become inter-related. The Alopecia X project is dependent on the enhancement of the Broad Project.Allow me to mention what reality lies ahead. You have successfully provided the number of samples for this phase of studybut we have just barely begun to crack open the realm of Alopecia X knowledge. There will be future phases of Alopeciaresearch that will need additional DNA samples. And of course, additional samples will also be needed regarding otherhealth conditions. Therefore, if volunteers contacted me after we had reached our present quota, I asked if they would mindif I keep their contact information for future use. If they had contacted Martine, she cannot pass on this information honoringthe confidentiality promised.And last but not least, we all know that genetic research is dependent on two things DNA samples and funding. The totalfunding for this next phase is approximately 100,000. You can see why we need to save our funds during the planning stage,which generally takes more than one year so that we have maximum funds available when needed. Once projects are approved,the funds are needed quickly. The PCT will donate funds for this project. But we cant do it alone. Dr. Leeb will apply toseveral sources of funding, and it would then become another PCT project to assist in facilitating these other sources.For the sake of our Poms, thank you for helping to make both of these necessities possible.POMERANIAN CHARITPOMERANIAN CHARITPOMERANIAN CHARITPOMERANIAN CHARITPOMERANIAN CHARITABLE ABLE ABLE ABLE ABLE TRTRTRTRTRUSTUSTUSTUSTUSTREPORREPORREPORREPORREPORTS PRTS PRTS PRTS PRTS PROGRESSOGRESSOGRESSOGRESSOGRESS2008 JULY AUG Review 06 04 08 C.p65 6122008, 112 PM40I I I I I i i i in404 44APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 413540 Kessler Blvd N.

I did go to school and study butfor my own knowledge not as a profession. It was my mothers wish that I get an artdegree but I had other plans. I went to school and majored in Pre-Vet. Then marriage,kids, horses, dogs, and many years went by.Art has always been my therapy As a child I had reasons to spend a lot oftime alone in a little place under the staircase that no one else could fit into and I drew,played, colored, painted, and spent many hours honing my skills. Mostly I drewhorses. They were my passion for most of my life. The dogs came later.AudreyPardue RobertsMy artwork is very similar to my puppies. They are my babies and precious to me and I have a very hard time lettingthem go My home is filled with art from my horse years, my therapy years, and my dog yearsOne dog painting in particular has a very special meaning to me. It doubled as therapy for a little dog that meant somuch to me that I lost. His name was Shyacres Tap Dancer. He was the prettiest thing I had ever seen He was one of thosepuppies that you know with all your being was a phenomenal one of a kind At three months he won a Specialty Match. Hewas Best in Match over all the puppies and the adults. But I never received his pictures from that match. On one occasionI took a whole roll of film of him and realized when the film was gone that the lens cap had been on for the entire time. So,again no pics. At 6 months old he went to New York to the Nationals and my daughter won the Junior Showmanship Classwith him. Between that show and before his photo arrived I had taken him to the vet, a dental specialist, and had his puppycanines removed. He died under the anesthesia. I was absolutely in shock and unable to cry at all. Then several weeks laterhis photo from nationals arrived and I sat and cried for a solid six hours Then I got up and in less than an hour painted oneof my best works ever of this gorgeous baby It was my way of grieving and moving on.My senior project from school hangs over my fireplace. It was my fathers absolutely favorite piece I ever did. Ithung in his home until after his death. It is four horse heads. As I was painting it sitting in the middle of my bed with all mypaints around me he would come in every hour or so to see my progress. He would say, That is going to be mine, isnt itSo indeed it was his and it was also a Grade A projectI have taken a step into the commercial art field recently. I began making porcelain dog jewelry and have sold it atthe National for several years now and quite successfully Then in early 2007 I began makingcomplete sculptures. I find such joy in my little darlings. The time it takes to develop apiece, sculpt, mount, and paint it really gives me a lot of pleasure. Ive only presentedthem at two shows for sale and have sold quite a few. Its really hard to let themgo but I know people get great pleasure from them and that makes it easierI do several breeds and each one is a one of a kind The hardestthing about my art is finding the time to sit and work. One friend uponseeing my booth at Nationals and seeing the sculptures said, Oh this iswhat you do between 2 AM and 5 AM She was right in one respect.Once I start a project I cant stop until it is finished and Im often upall night working on it. Its like an obsession until its doneI was both honored and delighted to be asked by thePomeranian Club of Greater Houston to come up with a logo for ourSpecialty and the Summer National of APC in 2007.

Brenda Segelken had sent me a photo she had taken of CH. Fame Lone Ranger who I was specialing at the time. It wasan amazing photo. I asked her if I could use that as my inspiration for my artwork and she graciously agreed. And so Derby Hat cameto be. I had gone to the Museum at Kentucky Downs and seen the hats people had worn to the Kentucky Derby. One hat in particularcaught my attention and I adapted my memory of it for this painting. I was humbled that my artwork was chosen for the 2008Nationals I loved the theme the club came up with.

Thankfully my tripto Chiba presented such anopportunity even if it did mean Kazucancelling a days golfing with someimportant SenatorAround 50 years ago theyoung Kazu, captivated by thePomeranian breed, approached GladysDyke to buy a dog. Given hisprivileged background he had alwaysbeen used to the best, but his overturesto the most famous Pom kennel inhistory were ignored. Undeterred,Kazu resolved to take advantage of hisfamily connections and so his uncle,then Japanese Ambassador in London,was asked to orchestrate a meetingwith the doyenne of the breed, arequest that eventually proved highlysuccessful when Kazu visited DickensAvenue for the first time in 1965 atthe age of 23. One can only imaginehow impressed the Dykes and theirneighbours were when thediplomatic car drew up outside theirmodest Middlesex home, butgradually Kazu managed to charmGladys, a lady who was born of ageneration who had anything but aI dont like long distance travel now,too long flights with no smoking and this from a man who at 65 goes tothe gym regularly, walks his Shiba ona daily basis and still fits into thedesigner suits he did at 20Talking of Shibas anational treasure in Japan Kazu ownsthe beautiful Sakurako. She won Bestat the Nippo Specialty out of 1,120dogs. The Shiba fraternity in Japan canbe likened to the German Shepherdculture in Germany, in that that theyhave no interest in the all-breeds world.Whilst Kazu is not a Shiba breeder assuch, he acknowledges that the breedis part of his natural heritage and sobreeders just think of him as a goodowner, Shiba is a one-man dog, hesays, Fastidiously clean with veryindividual character. Not a dog foreveryone.Clearly the Japanese Shibaowners have recognised his loyalty tothe breed by entrusting him with thebest.She is very good for me,of his fondest memories is of winning theToy Group at Crufts in 1966 with SweetDreams of Aurum who had actually takenthe breed over Mrs Dykes Ch Peacheyof Hadleigh. His connections andenthusiasm made him popular with thelikes of Joe Braddon and StanleyDangerfield who became close friends buthis interest stretched way beyond Poms.He was instrumental in persuading manybreeders to sell dogs to Japan at a timeMovement is very important to Kazi Igarashi, whostressed that with Poms being classified in the FCIGroup 5 along with Samoyeds, Siberians andMalamutes, they have to move.

It has often been said thatBritish Poms suffered because Igarashibought the cream. On one trip hebought no less than 45 Poms thoughnot all from Hadleigh of course.Kazu became a regularvisitor to the UK, showing and winningwith the Hadleigh dogs and others. Oneof impeccable taste, and many in the UKand beyond will vouch for the fact thathis generosity knows no bounds.Having given me a fantasticvolume of a book he has put together onthe breed, and realising he, and moreimportantly his dogs, were likely to featurein DOG WORLD, he said quietly Pleasegive me little mention make your pieceabout Mrs Dyke.That would be hard to do underthe circumstances, but here is a man whohas genuine passion about his chosenbreed. Repeatedly he said to me Gladysteach me so much, now I must teach otherpeople about the true Pomeranian, and Imust breed dogs she would like.Interestingly, but notsurprisingly, Kazu makes the observation,American Pom people know more aboutHadleigh than English people and he hasa point, in that we now have a generationof people in the breed that does notremember those days when you had somany of the great kennels competing forthe CCs at every show.All the dogs I saw were happy,outgoing creatures with great personality,all beautifully cared for and groomed.However it was obvious to see, when wecame to getting puppies on leads, who werethe favourites as they had clearly been givenmore schooling than their kennelmatesWhilst Kazu constantly refers tothe intense quality of the vintage Hadleighdogs, he admits that not all were as soundas they could have been, and he hasconsciously tried to improve that area whilststill maintaining the Hadleigh look.Kazu was probably the firstJapanese judge to make an impact on theglobal dog scene. He has done most of whatany Japanese would want to do, butintriguingly he must be one of the fewjudges who have actually turned down aninvitation to judge his own breed at Crufts.Hadleigh Sunny Guy, another promising puppy with abeautiful head.

Hebought a Champion Beagle fromCatherine Sutton and some of the originalstock that started Toshi Omuras SmashToy Poodle dynasty.Over the years Kazu developeda special bond with Mrs Dyke who hadby now dramatically changed her view ofJapanese people and he was a greatbenefactor until she died. Surprisingly tomany, Mrs Dyke travelled to Japan manytimes when most of her contemporarieswould only have thought of knitting Tothis day he refers to her with greatreverence as my greatest teacher andconstantly reminds whoever he is talkingto at the time that Gladys instilled in himthe need for a Pom to have a beautifulhead and expression. When I got to seethe dogs he had at this particular home he has several he went through all thedogs, often saying This face Gladyswould like With a solid foundation ofpure Hadleigh he did not stop there butKazu bought other dogs from the majorkennels when Poms in the UK had theirhalcyon period and set about puttingtogether all the parts of the jigsaw.In FCI countries Poms are nowin the Spitz group competing withSiberian Huskies and such like so theyhave to move, be strong and healthy hesays. Reach and drive is a phrase he usesmore than any Pom person I have evermet. They have to be competitive withthese other breeds in the big ring he says,as he thrusts a 5 months puppy into myhands and says Feel the chestEvery room of this particularhouse faces out to the bay. The Hadleighdogs of today have incredibletemperament, body and soundness andeven the most untrained of puppies getsput on a lead and seems to performnaturally.

He has varied businessinterests, a fishing boat moored in thebay and a love of golf. But he is wellaware that All over the world they stillwant Hadleigh Pomeranians.Kazu has something of alaissez-faire attitude to dog breeding.He is the kind of person who will giveyou his best if he likes you, but if hedoesnt then no money in the world willbuy a dog off him. He is in the happyposition of not relying in dogs for anincome and tells many stories of howdisenchanted his family was when hespent so much money buying dogs.Now I like to continueGladys dream, he says nonchalantly.One day it would be good to seeHadleigh again BOB at Crufts.

Being a pharmacist by profession I find thesubject of antibiotics and their application to maintaining our dogshealth very interesting. However, I realize not everyone is as fascinatedby the subject as I am, so hopefully you will not be lulled to sleep asyou read. My goal is to help you understand the purposes ofantibiotics in health care for dogs and to outline the classification ofantibiotics along with their uses and potential side effects. And finally I will give you some tips on how toadminister antibiotics under the direction of your veterinarian for optimum outcomes.Bacteria in our livesFor many people the word bacteria conjures up thoughts of germs and bad hygiene. However the fact is thatbacteria actually inhabits everyones body all of the time. It can be found on our skin and eyes, within ourmouth and in our small and large intestine. Bacteria that lives in and on us share a friendly relationship withus. For instance bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract help to break down certain carbohydrates thatnormally we couldnt digest. However when our bodies immune system is weak or if there is a breakdown inthe bodys defense system these friendly bacteria can become opportunist bacteria and cause infections. Inaddition other bacteria that do not normally live in our systems can invade the body and cause illness. It is atthese times when we call on antibiotics to help fight infection.The term antibiotic was first defined as any agent with biological activity against living organisms. Howevertoday it is often used to refer to any substance with antibacterial, antifungal or antiparasitical properties.Historically antibiotics have been around as early as 2500 years ago, but compounds to treat serious infectionswere not discovered until the 20th century. Alexander Fleming is credited with the first discovery of penicillinin 1928, although historically it has been documented that two other individuals made the discovery yearsearlier.Antibiotic classificationsThe antibiotics of today are classified in several different groups. As of today there are ten groups. Thecommon classifications in order as they appear in the Merck Veterinary Drug handbook are as followsPenicillins, Cephalosporins and Cephamycins, Amino glycosides, Quinilones, Sulfonamides, Tetracyclines,Chloramphenical and its derivatives, Macrolides, Lincosamides, and one other group that can be classified asother or miscellaneous. Within many of the classes of antibiotics, there are subclasses. The subclasses eithernote an order of when the antibiotic was discovered commonly referred to as first generation, secondgeneration, etc. or they describe certain properties the antibiotic has such as beta lactamase sensitive or narrowvs. broad spectrum.Guest writer MIKE WELLS2008 JULY AUG Review 06 04 08 C.p65 6122008, 112 PM56I I I I I i i i in4Mw'4 P4tt_4 44APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 57The term beta-lactames is something that should also be explained. As the evolution of antibiotics has evolvedso has the bacterias ability to inactivate antibiotics that are trying to kill them off. This is where the termantibiotic resistance comes from. Some bacteria have found ways to resist antibiotics by producing enzymes toinactivate the antibiotic. These enzymes are called beta-lactamase.Many of these antibiotics are given orally but are also used in ophthalmic in the eyes, otic used in the ear andalso topical applications. They are sometimes combined with other compounds such as corticosteroids andorantifungal agents.PenicillinThe classes of penicillin antibiotics are broken down into six subclasses based on certain areas they work in.Narrow-spectrum -Lactamase-sensitive Penicillins e.g. penicillin, Narrow-spectrum -Lactamase-resistantPenicillins e.g. oxacillin, cloxacillin, dicloxacillin, and flucloxacillin, Broad-spectrum -Lactamase-sensitivePenicillins e.g. ampicillin and amoxicillin, Broad-spectrum -Lactamase-sensitive Penicillins with ExtendedSpectra e.g. carbenicillin, ticarcillin, azlocillin, and piperacillin, -Lactamase-protected Broad-spectrumPenicillins Potentiated Penicillins e.g. Clavamox and Carbapenems e.g. Imipenem.Antibiotics in the penicillin class are often given orally while some should be given intramuscularly orintravenous. It is important to follow label directions carefully.The penicillins typically dont have major side effects but Clavamox can cause stomach upset in some animalsand can cause diarrhea. Certain drugs in this class should be given on an empty stomach which should be notedon the label, while some you might want to consider giving with food as it might cause stomach upset, e.g.Clavamox.CephalosporinCephalosporins are a class of antibiotics that are similar in some ways to the penicillin class in that they share asimilar structure and in some ways share some of the pharmaceutical properties of the penicillins. Like thepenicillins, the cephalosporins are also broken down into classes from 1st generation through 4th generation.Just like many of us have taken and are familiar with the penicillin class, cephalosporins are no different. Drugslike Keflex, Ceftin, Vantin and Suprax, are also used in veterinary medicine but usually under a different name.Even though the cephalosporins are similar in structure and have similar activity as the penicillins, they are morestable when given orally. As the generations go up in number so does the antibacterial spectrum with the 4thgeneration of cephalosporins having added activity against beta-lactamase enzymes as discussed earlier.As a class they are used in the treatment of everything from soft tissue infections to surgical prophylaxis. Aswith the penicillins, cephalosporins also have similar side effects and these are very few. Hypersensitivity is oneof the primary concerns, especially if a dog has had an allergic reaction to penicillin or amoxicillin in the past.Nausea and diarrhea may occur as side effects.Amino glycosideAmino glycosides are a class of antibiotic that include eight different types within the class. Streptomycin wasactually the first to be discovered within this class in 1943. Interestingly enough it was the first drug toeffectively treat tuberculosis. This class of drugs is commonly reserved for industrial strength bacteria such asPseudomonas aeruginosa and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus commonly known as MRSA. It isalso sometimes used to sterilize the gut. Because of the nature of the medication it is almost always given eitherintravenously or intramuscularly. So in many cases the dog owner will not be giving these. Antibiotics in thisgroup are the following streptomycin, dihydrostreptomycin, neomycin, paromomycin, kanamycin, apramycin,and spectinomycin. These drugs are typically used to treat serious andor complicated infections. They are2008 JULY AUG Review 06 04 08 C.p65 6122008, 112 PM57m mf 'r ,.. r 4 458 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEWsometimes used topically in the eye and ear. When given intravenously or intramuscularly special precautionsmust be taken to make sure the medication is given at the right time and dose. If they are given incorrectly it cancause kidney problems as well as hearing problems.QuinoloneMany people have taken or at least heard of Cipro or Levaquin. These drugs are in the Quinolone class and are also usedin veterinary medicine. Antibiotics in this group include but are not limited to the following Batytril, Orbax, Zeniquinand Ciprofloxacin. Quinilone antibiotics are only used in adult usually over two years old dogs as a rule. This is alsotrue in human medicine where they only use quinonlones in people over the age of 18. The reason for this is that drugtrials and research have shown that using it before the growth cycle stops can cause cartilaginous erosions leading topermanent joint problems. This group is typically used to treat everything from urinary tract infections to ear infections,depending on the bacteria present. Adverse effects for this group are limited to gastrointestinal distress, diarrhea, andpossible decreased activity. Baytril tablets can be crushed but the manufacturers warn that it might have a bitter taste. Thedog that is treated should have plenty of water to drink.SulfonamideThe sulfonamides, like the pencillins are a group of antibiotics that are among the most used antibiotic in veterinarymedicine. They are used in everything from ophthalmic drops and ointments to wound powders and in burn wounddressings. The sulfonamides are grouped into four areas. The first group is typically used for urinary tract infectionsbecause they are highly soluble, e.g. sulfisoxazole Gantrin. The second group is sulfonamides that are not well absorbedin the intestine. This means that they do not act systemically and will act locally. For that reason they are typically used totreat gastrointestinal infections or treat inflammatory conditions like ulcerative colitis in dogs. The next group calledpotentiated sulfonamides is used to treat protozoal infections. Topical sulfonamides would make up the last group. Onefamiliar antibiotic in this group is silver sulfadiazine silvadene cream. It is used in human as well as veterinary medicinefor treating burns. Within this group there are a couple of things to remember. If you are treating a dog with a urinary tractinfection it is important to make sure they have plenty of water to drink. If you are giving the suspension type ofmedication it is important to shake it before use as the medication may settle in between doses. Side effects with thisgroup are limited to gastrointestinal upset, but other serious side effects should be noted by going to this web addresshttpwww.merckvetmanual.commvmindex.jspcfilehtmbc191247.htmTetracyclineThe tetracycline class of antibiotics are considered a broad spectrum antibiotic. Use of tetracycline has fallen off becauseof some resistance but it is still used to treat certain conditions. Mycoplasma and Rickettsiae spotted mountain feverand Lyme disease are just a few that this class of antibiotics is used to treat. One of the major contraindications within thisgroup is not to use it in juvenile dogs due to the fact that it can result in discoloration of the teeth and high doses cancause delays in bone healing. This is primarily seen with tetracycline and oxytetracycline. Doxycycline and minocyclineare less likely to cause these problems. When given this class of drugs it is important to give it without food or anythingcontaining calcium or magnesium as these will affect the absorption of this group. So do not use the common trick ofhiding the pill in a piece of cheese.ChloramphenicalChloramphenical is a drug that is used primarily in veterinary medicine but with caution since it has some potential toxiceffects. Two distinct types of bone marrow suppression can occur. For this reason, a certain amount of caution is usedwhen using this medication. It is discussed in Plumbs Veterinary handbook that one manufacturer Osborn states thatchloramphenical should not be administered to dogs maintained for breeding purposes. The drug is acceptable to use totreat certain types infections where other antibiotics may fail. If it is being used, the caretaker of the animal, should handlethis medication with care and wash hands after handling this medication. Chloramphenical is a bitter drug so dogs or otheranimals may not accept the medication if the tablet or capsule has been crushed.MacrolideThe Macrolide group of antibiotics consists of erythromycin and azithromycin. Initially only erythromycin was available.2008 JULY AUG Review 06 04 08 C.p65 6122008, 112 PM58i i i i n44 44APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 59It was first discovered in 1949 from a strain of bacteria called Streptomyces erythraeus. It has been the mainstay in themacrolide group until about 1995 when zithromax was introduced and then later clarithromycin. They are all typicallyused to treat infections like upper respiratory infections as well as soft tissue infections. Eye ointments are also availableto treat susceptible bacteria. Side effects are typically uncommon for these antibiotics except for erythromycin which cancause nausea and a pro-motility effect. Interestingly enough because of this side effect erythromycin is sometimes used totreat gastroperesis delayed emptying of the stomach. Erythromycin, clarithromycin and azithromycin come in a liquidandor a tablet dose.LincosamidesLincosamides are made of clindamycin and lincomycin. Most of us as breeders or dog owners have had our dogs teethcleaned and one of the antibiotics often sent home with the dog is a form of clindamycin solution usually 25mgml. This isone of the many uses of this antibiotic. It may also be indicated for mastitis or other bacteria that are susceptible to itsactions. Adverse reactions that have been typically reported with this drug have been gastrointestinal disturbances. Onething to be looking for when using clindamycin is bloody stool or protracted diarrhea while the dog is on this medication.Contact your veterinarian right away. Clindamycin and lincomycin come in both a capsule and liquid form.MiscellaneousThe final group is typically labeled miscellaneous. These include Polymyxin, Bacitracin, Vancomycin, rifampin,Nitrofurans, and nitroimidazole. Polymyxin and Bacitracin are typically used in wound powders, creams and ointments.Polymyxin is used only in rare cases of life threatening situations where there is resistance to other drugs. It is only usedin these situations because it can be nephrotoxic and neurotoxic.Vancomycin is a drug that is normally given intravenously unless it is being used for entorcolitis caused by antibiotics.Normally most us will not see this drug given unless our dog is under the care of a vet at the clinic or hospital.Rifadin in generic form called rifampin is most common for treating tuberculosis or resistant staph endocarditis. Dogson this medication will have a urine change to a dark orange-red color as well as tear stains.Nitrofurans is a group that commonly is used to treat urinary tract infections. In human medicine Macrobid andMacrodantin are two of the most common drugs used to treat urinary tract infections and the corresponding generic drugused in veterinary medicine is Nitrofurantoin. Furazolidone is the other common medication from this group that may beused to treat giardia. Stomach upset and nausea are the most common side effects.And last but not least the Nitroimidazole group has metronidazole as its most common drug. It is most notable for treatingprotozoal infections. A common side effect with this medication can be nausea resulting in vomiting.Using AntibioticsWhen your dog has been prescribed antibiotics by your veterinarian, make sure you are careful to give all of the medicinefor the entire time as directed. Most antibiotics are stored at room temperature, but a few require refrigeration. If themedicine is accidentally left out it can affect its potency, so if it has been more than an hour or two it is best to call yourveterinarian to get a fresh batch.Many but not all antibiotics can be crushed and mixed with food or can be made into a suspension liquid by a pharmacy.They can even add flavor to many antibiotics to make them more palatable for picky eaters and dogs who may have losttheir appetite. So if you have a dog that doesnt want to take its medicine, there are alternative ways of making it go downa little easier.Information in this article is offered only for reference.

BassettAs your Judges Education Coordinator, I made a couple of proposals to theBoard during Nationals, which were accepted. I am going to devote this articleto going into some detail on these items. They involve improvements to ourAPC Approved Mentor program and were documented in the Board minutes inthe last issue of Pom Review.The basic premise of the changes is that some APC members are so wellqualifiedas Mentors that they should be invited to become Mentors if they arewilling to accept, rather than having to attend a seminar and document theirexperience. This should be done utilizing a Mentor Committee so that no oneperson is making the decisions. Here are the guidelines that were approved bythe Board1. A new Mentor Committee will be formed, headed by the Judges EducationCoordinator and including three other members. The APC Board will haveapproval of the Committee appointments.2. All APC Breeder Judges will be invited to be officially listed as Approved Mentors.3. All APC Life Members will be invited to be officially listed as Approved Mentors.4. The Mentor Committee will invite other APC Members that they unanimously agree are qualified to be officiallylisted as Approved Mentors. The committee will invite an initial list during 2008 and then perform a periodic reviewthereafter.5. Members who accept these invitations will be sent an orientation document listing AKCs breed mentor policies andforms.The Mentor Committee has been formed and approved by the Board. They are from three different sections of thecountry in order to have a good balance of knowledge of the membership in different areas. All three are highlyrespected breeders and handlers so are out there week after week and in touch with the breeders in their areas. Theyare Vicki Oelerich - Eastern US Nadine Hersil - Central US Curtiss Smith - Western USBy the time you read this, the Committee will be active and reviewing the membership roster to determine who will beinvited to be listed as Approved Mentors. Letters will have gone out to Breeder Judges and Life Members as well.I want to point out that other APC members can still be approved as Mentors by meeting the minimum qualificationsrequired by our Standing Rules. The Standing Rule that refers to Approved Mentor qualifications Miscellaneoussection, 37 has been revised and approved by the Board to incorporate our changes. It reads as followsAPC Approved Mentor guidelines require that minimum qualifications are a the person must be an APC Memberwho is an active Pomeranian BreederExhibitor for 12 years, b have bred 5 Pomeranian champions, c and haveattended an APC sanctioned Mentor Seminar d or be an AKC Approved Pomeranian Judge. Approved Mentors mayalso be invited to participate by the Mentor Committee from the APC membership list. APC Seminars will bepresented by the JEC, or an Approved Mentor.I believe that these items will provide improvements to the Approved Mentor program and provide a robust list of contacts forjudges who are interested in studying our breed.

Thanks to Barbara McClatchey.Trish Rowley shares "Danger".462 - APC POMERANIAN REVIEW NEWS AND VIEWSPERFORMANCEBarbara McClatcheyBy Barbara McClatcheyGETTING STARTED ALL OVER AGAINIt is certainly interesting to be training a new dog. I have shown three Poms to the Utility title, including aUDX and a UUD, and two others to the CDX, and each dog has trained a little differently from the onebefore. Additionally, there are new methods coming up all the time, new ways of dealing with trainingissues.As I shared in a recent column, I had problems teaching Tessie to Stand. It wasnt a Stay issue, it was aStand issue. No matter what I seemed to do, she would move as soon as I tried to position her into thestand, and she would keep moving. She could handle it on a stool all right, but as soon as I put her on thefloor, it would happen again. She seemed to me to be doing her favorite thing, trying to lick my hands.Enter my training partner, Patti Hecht. She watched what was happening and said, Barbara, Tessiedoesnt like your hands all over her. Patti then showed me a training trick she had learned from someoneelse, and it worked like a charm. I am now going to reveal Pattis secretDog is sitting at your side. Treat in your hand Patti uses the left, but I use the right because that is mynormal hand for giving a Stand signal. Lift the treat above the dogs head, at about the level of your waist,with a little upward movement. We all know from failures in teaching the Sit that dogs will jump up to geta treat, right Right. So the dog jumps up, and comes back down on all fours. Reward. This can befollowed with a Stay command and a walk-around. It took all of two minutes to teach to Tessie andproduces a beautiful, voluntary kick-back stand by the dog that can be very impressive to watch.And speaking of getting started all over, I may be out of my mind, but unless another performance homecomes along pretty soon, I may be keeping one of my current rescues. This little girl was turned in to theTexas City pound because she had a heart murmur and the vet said she needed surgery. Second ChancePoms took her in and provided the surgery for Patent Ductus Arteriosus PDA, a condition in which ablood vessel in the heart does not close at birth. It is not just life threatening but a death sentence, and thislittle girl will now live a normal healthy life instead of perhaps just 3 months. And she is SO verytrainable. I have no business with another new dog right now, but that kind of thing happens sometimes,doesnt it You, my faithful readers, will be kept updated on the subject2008 JULY AUG Review 06 04 08 C.p65 6122008, 112 PM624r nmJg4 4rw.-r' "30f,Bop I23laife i itI Ww f Ri" i l I I11 ir- I u I I 1 V____L J4i i i i nAPC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 63Performance ContinuedCANINE FREESTYLE AT MEMORIAL SERVICEPomeranian Hermie, owned by LaVerne Havelka, recently took part in a Memorial Service for a dog trainer. Thisstory was written by the owner of one of the other dogs in the service.Recently, the co-director of our obedience school lost her battle with brain cancer. It has been a devastating year for allof us, and her memorial service was held on May 9. Although not a freestyler herself, this woman was responsible forbringing freestyle classes into this family-oriented obedience school. She was a big supporter of freestyle and ourbiggest fan.I Darlene Chroninger was asked to put together a short demo to be performed in the sanctuary at the end of the service.I chose three of our most advanced freestylers and their dogs.All three of us began obedience classes together at this school 7 years ago. All three dogs are 7 years old. All three dogsRobinson, a Sheltie Hermie, a Pomeranian and Banshee, a Min-Pin were in the Pilot Program at Childrens NationalMedical Center in Washington, DC, for pet assisted therapy under the direction of this awesome woman. The programis now thriving and was her vision and dream come true. So, with tears in check, we had one practice and proceeded.Costuming was easy - our canine parade drill team uniform - green shirts wbig red heart on front which says I love mydog, white pants and shoes. One of the handlers made the dogs green bandanas with a red heart sewn on it - it was ifthe dogs were wearing their hearts on their sleeve for this woman who cherished each one of them.On Friday morning the entire congregation including her husband was surprised we had hidden the dogs away priorto the service when the back doors opened, When the Saints Go Marchin In blasted forth, and we entered down thecenter aisle.Those pups held their heads high, stayed right in step and wagged away as we proceeded single file with perfect heelingand a spin as each one reached the center. We went up the stairs to the altar area and formed a triangle in the very smallspace.Each one came forth individually and did several beautiful behaviors as the audience began clapping in time to themusic. We completed the routine by forming a star and revolving twice around with hands joined at the center. Wecame out of the circle into a straight line and stopped still, dogs on sit.The audience came to a complete silence as we did a slow, military type salute toward heaven to give a final salute tothe woman who so lovingly led us. We exited to a standing ovation, and the last dog to exit, the tiny min-pin, stoppedto give much-needed affection to the new widower.It was not just a performance but an experience we will never forget. The lady we lost would have loved it, the audiencewas moved to tears, and the dogs seemed to know it was a very special presentation. They were welcomed, made over,and fed at the reception.Never in a million years would I have thought that freestyle could have been such a blessing for so many. It is good toshare with those who appreciate the comfort our canine children can bring to us and to others.

Falling from trees when they sensebody heat beneath them, they are not particular which body part they invade and they hang on for dear life.Proof in point. Bathing late one evening after a mushroom expedition, I find a red scratchy spot nearmy rib. Due to a burning sensation, my husband checks it out. I think theres something in here, he says,heading to the bathroom for tweezers. It refuses to budge after two hours of prodding. My husband calls ourneighborhood nurse.Shortly after 1145 P.M. and an unsuccessful excavation with a hypodermic needle, the nurse slits myskin and removes the barbed leg of a tick. Cleaning the wound, she applies ointment. I locate the rest of the ticknear the drain and place both in a plastic baggie. Deer ticks are prevalent in our area. I am concerned as to whatmight be down the road for me.FLEAS When magnified, the flea is ugliest of them all. Picture a creature from Mars with barbedswords. Flea bites burn like crazy for weeks. Anyone allergic to a fleabite understands the severity of theirsaliva. Fleas inside your clothing will neatly bite in a straight line. They can jump 30 feet when you attempt tocatch them. To remove them, slow them down with a douse of hand cream or alcohol first.Fleatick products are a blessing. Inexpensive when compared to bathing and dipping 15 dogs, no longerdoes a lone survivor threaten to seed the next generation. Treat your kennel and yards. Make sure the chemicalsused are safe for your animals.The pesky flea carries then releases tapeworm eggs once ingested. Yomesan and Numeral were popularwormers for dogs hosting a tape at one time. Those drugs pushed the tapeworm down the chute, head and all.Effective and final, it is unfortunate neither is available today due to bowel purging.Let us go back to FLIES and their contribution to summer misery. A fly lightly lands on an unreachablearea and lays its eggs. Given the proper amount of time and conditions, maggots hatch. They infest open woundsand orifices and may go unnoticed under the tail. Hot living quarters encourage maggot infestation.MAGGOTS are a fly larva. Some indigenous societies use maggots to treat wounds. Maggots, one ofnatures clean up crew, dispenses dead animals efficiently. Forensic science uses maggot development toidentify not only the time of a death but also often the locale.Hot weather encourages maggot infestation to both animals living in inhumane conditions and properlycared pets. Farm animals are hosts of maggots, especially if housed in unclean conditions. Heavier canines areunable to properly clean themselves. Animals tied out in the summer heat in small enclosures cause maggots toprosper. Coat care is necessary during the summer as dirty coats cause hotspots.Maggots are not to be ignored. Finding some on his Border collies spine, my friend calls the vet. The vetcleans the area, then gives an antibiotic shot and applies ointment. My friend, who loves and cares for his dog, ishorrified and chastises himself for not giving the dog better summer care.Brush dogs weekly. Trim the hair around the anus of long coated dogs, offer clean housing and bedding.Wash igloos, bleach runs, move their turn out spots and check overweight dogs periodically beneath the tail.Maggots, opossums, vultures, and rats, are sweepers of offal. Often unobserved, they silently work among us.In the 1960s, we used gallons of dip and flea shampoo. We brushed and fluffed, sprayed, and powdered.Today your vet offers a number of tick and flea preventatives. Be aware some breeds must avoid Ivermectin dueto their genetic make up. Discuss this with your vet.In the fall, clean inside the ears where leaf dust and earwax collect. Products are available to assist you.There is no care free season. Changing seasons bring a new set of challenges for pet owners to address.Avoidance is best, but caution and awareness is the answer. Pet owners can win the battle of the bugs.Scratching, rolling, digging, chewing, rough coats, tape segments in stools, and scooting indicate problems.Address them early and both you, and your pet, will have a great summer.I will bug off now.By E.

The capacity to lead not by the exercise of power, but by love.With great honor and love we announce the upcoming Anniversary Issue of the Pomeranian Review. 2008 marks theReviews 50th Anniversary.Your Anniversary Issue committee includes Carlene Gilstrap, Donna Riehm, Ellen Takayama, Kathryn Norem andmyself. We also have many other valuable team members behind the scene working diligently to make this huge project possible.The Anniversary Issue will not take the place of an issue within the subscriptions. This Commemorative issue, whichcan be purchased separately, will feature a high gloss heavy-weight cover, glued spine and color throughout.The Anniversary Issue will debut at the APC National Specialty in Louisville, Kentucky March 2009. We hope that thisnot only adds to the festivity of this uncommon occurrence, but also helps offset the handling and mailing costs. None will bemailed or available before the Kentucky debut.Given the rising costs in the printing industry, this project will be quite costly for the American Pomeranian Club.Please keep that in mind both when advertising and ordering issues. Only 1,000 copies will be available. This issue undoubtedlywill be highly sought after and collectible in the future. Pre-orders are welcome and recommended. See page 84 for pre-orderform and information.Advertising revenue will be a top priority to supporting this venture. We have tried to keep advertising prices asreasonable as possible, while still trying to balance its cost. This issue must be pre-paid by the APC. The APC must carry thefinancial burden until all issues are sold. Then and only then will the APC recoup the costs of printing, etc. Your advertisingsupport is paramount.So, send those ads in The earlier the better Pre-order now, and dont forget to order extra copies for investmentcollecting and what a great gift ideaFrom Sundays at the Magic Monastery 2008 JULY AUG Review 06 04 08 C.p65 6122008, 112 PM84I I I I I i i i in X.
