BAKER 207 Shirleen Drive Seabrook, Texas 77586Our friends are often incredulous as to why we should be excited about going to New York in FEBRUARY There is cold there is snow but New York in February has brought to us excitement and many happy memories, the first being our Champion Corns Duke Dragonflys Best of Breed at the National Specialty on first trip up there in 1967 and then through many years of watching his children, grandchildren, and other kin have their exciting wins. Judging the Sweepstakes several years ago and then having an opportunity to watch Olga do the Sweepstakes a couple of years ago then having been elected President of the American Pomeranian Club last year all have been big thrills and special for me.Having the opportunity to judge the classes this year is something I shall long remember. It is impossible to describe the thrill of seeing fantastic Pomeranians such as those parade in front of you in the ring, realizing you must try to select the best, in your opinion, from so many, all very deserving of first place ribbons. I hope that I will in the future again have the opportunity of judging such a big and impressive specialty.It was a marvelous dog show. We had excellent entries despite the terrible weather, and not too many absentees. I am only sorry that our two chosen judges, Marianne Grybinski and Francis Casey, were unable to attend due to being snowed in. Special laurels shouldgo to our Show Chairmen, Jessie and Barbara Young. I have personally served as Show Chairman several times at various shows and know the tasks and responsibilities and problems involved. Thus, I do extend the special thanks of the Club to Jessie and Barbara for serving us in this manner.I wish to thank the Officers of the past year for their loyal service to the Club and I feel the new Officers elected will serve in a like manner for 1978.This was a risky trip for Olga and me, as our Child No. 1 was due to present us with Grandchild No. 1 at any moment. While Olga felt it important for us to stand by with whelping box, heating pad, love and attention, plus a warm bottle of Esbilae just in case yet we could not resist the temptation to come on to New York as we do every February. Luck was with us. We returned Monday night, flying out just ahead of the snow, arriving in Houston barely in time to get to the hospital where our daughter presented us a little Valentine girl just what we had ordered by the way. Brittany Joy was born by Caesarian, but she had waited for us to get back home for her arrival. Who ever heard of filling a column with grandchild news This is, however, an extraordinary baby, and if you think THIS is bad, just wait till we tell Sophie Mayes I want the front and back covers of the next few Pom Reviews reserved for baby photosI was asked to write a critique of the show. However, with all the frenzy of this show due to bad weather, judge unavailability, crises such as catalogs not arriving in time, and such things I honestly did not have time make appropriate notes and prepare for a good critique in writing. Additionally, we had to think toward getting back quickly to Houston and, upon learning that Sue Goddard was doing a critique and report of the show, I felt it would not be fair to throw together a show report. Again, my thanks to Thelma for coming Continued on Page 48POMERANIAN REVIEW 5CONGRATULATIONS TO PINTOCh.

Floral City, Fla. 326366 POMERANIAN REVIEWCOYER STORYBy BEVERLY NORRISMy venture in Pomdom began such a short time ago when I bought Thelduns Almond Fudge and took him to his championship. When I was in Reston and saw the very elegant Marlene Scott with a beautiful heavy sable bitch, I came home and bought her half sister, beautiful and the same color from Lennis Raines. I then bought two more Tar-Baby Kids, one an orange bitch which finished in 10 weeks Ch. Tom-Cins Tar-Zanna of Lennis. I also bought other show-quality Poms from breeders but money allows us only to show one at a time.Lennis and I were talking on the phone one day and Lennis said she had a black who took BIM at 7 months and was Tar-Zannas full sister. Witchy was shipped up and my good friends, Ray Edney, Dianne Johnson and I went over Witchy and I called Lennis from Ray's house and bought Witchy.I 'then became sick and went in the hospital. Out of commission for over a month, I entered my homebred Bev-Nors Pride N. Joy as her two litter sisters would be there, and Black Witchy in the APC Summer Specialty. I was anxious to get out of the hospital to see if they had enough coat. With doctors orders not to do anything I did quite a bit of training to get them ready in one week.Up to the Specialty we went and when puppy class came and Joy took first, sister two took 2nd, sister three took 4th, we were so excited, but when Witchy, my black took Open and BOW for a 5 point major and Joy took RWB we had to be the happiest people there. SPECIAL THANKS to everyone for all their help, calls, letters and congratulations. With such super-nice people out there in the Pom world, Bill and I have literally had ourselves a ball. Thanks to all.Since the Specialty and acquiring 8 points, both majors to her credit, Be- Nors Pride N. Joy was purchased by Mr. Charles Stevens of Jacksonville, Florida, and we wish him continued success with her. Be-Nors Witchy Woman of Lennis has presented us with three gorgeous babies, 1 black male, 1 black female, 1 sable female and will return to the ring as soon as she coats up.WHAT IS SO RARE . . .As a day in June, etc. Even more RARE is a magazine devoted solely to our favorite breed, POMERANIANS. The Review has long been the ONLY such magazine available to fanciers. This summer, we celebrate our 20th Anniversary. A little over 1 year ago, a SECOND Pom magazine was started in Canada. It started small, as every new project must, but quality was very good and with adequate support from subscribers and advertisers, size and scope would increase. There is no Pomeranian Club in Canada to underwrite this effort. With printing and mailing costs now extremely high, this project is a tremendous undertaking for private individuals. Your Editor has been a subscriber since the first issue, and has found the magazine to be of interest not only to Canadian Pom owners, but to everyone who likes to see pictures of lovely Pomeranians and read of shows and events in our neighboring country. An added bonus is that advertising rates are modest and there is a ready market for American Poms in Canada It would certainly be a great pity to see this interesting little magazine falter and die for lack of financial support. To subscribe, send a check for S8.00 made payable to Canadian Pom Prints. Mail to 98 Park Street, Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada B2N 3J3. Presently there is a Winter Issue available, with the next issue coming out in May.POMERANIAN REVIEW 7BEST OF BREED DECEMBER 4, 1977 Columbia Pomeranian Club Specialty Portland, OregonAM. CAN. CH.

Santa and his pack in a sleigh pulled toy blue Pomeranians was parked on top of the long line of display crates. He had visited each one and left a beautiful hand crocheted red and white cup filled with pointsettias and doggie goodies to welcome each exhibitor. A small, bright colored felt elf sat on the rim of each saucer, holding in Ms hands a tiny Christams gift. Christmas greens and ribbons completed the picture. Santas helpers, Chairman Averil Asbeck who was chief of the crochet hooks and elves and her committee, Muriel Gunther, Earl Asbeck, Elsie Wolf, and Martha Ras, well deserved the prize for best decorated bench, wMch they won again this year, second year in a row.little Elf sitting beside crocheted basket of gifts for each exhibitor.The trophy table was agleam with silver and crystal. Blue ribbon roses in silver bud vases, bread trays, bon-bon dishes and cranberry servers, and the handsome perpetual Best of Winners trophy, wMch was donated by Jean Schroll. TMs must be won by the sameexhibitor three times, not necessarily with the same dog or in succession, to be retained in permanent possession.The committee had a hectic time setting up the trophy table. The show was held at the Portland Kennel Clubs annual bench show, and had to be set up between the showing of two other breeds. The timing was rather tight, but Muriel Gunther and her committe could be proud of the results of their labors.Judge Frank Haze Burch award Best of Breed to Am. Can. Ch. Golden Glow Pepper, owned by Elva U. McGilbry and handled here by Jessie M. Stephens.The exhibits were as beautiful as the bench they occupied. Starting with the Puppy classes and continuing through the Specials class and the Parade of Champions there has seldom been a finer group of Pomeranians in one place. Judge Prank Haze Burch deliberated carefully before choosing his winning Poms. He looked long at 'the carefully brushed and trained representatives of our breed. This is the way he saw them.POMERANIAN REVIEW 9JESTOM POMERANIANS Proudly Presents Jestoms Golden Glow Heidi1Shown here going WB, BW, BOS and Best Puppy in Show at the Columbia Pomeranian Club Specialty Show held in Portland, Oregon on Dec. 4th, 1977.

I asked her what her secret was. She said Put them in the tub. These wins were an exciting climax to the Stephens Year and a half in the North West. Perhaps they will come back next year and put another leg on that Best of Winners Trophy.And so another Columbia Pomeranian Club Winter Specialty fades into memory.

Panic did not ensue and after a quick check of possibilities and AKC approval show chairperson Jessie Young, provided the necessary judge for regular classes and a knowlegable breeder to judge the sweepstakes entries.Thelma Dunn gave up her entries to graciously judge the sweepstakes.

The food was delicious and more than ample. It was a pleasure to relax after the busy day.All told, Specialty 1978 was a tremendous success and goes to prove the old adage, where there is a will, there is a way. Everyone is to be congratulated for their participation.SWEEPSTAKES CRITIQUEBy THELMA M. DUNNTo the consternation of everyone and needless to say, the complete frustration of our Show Chairperson and Show Secretary, Jessie and Barbara Young, the horrible winter storm that descended upon us the week of the Specialty, made it utterly impossible for our judges to get out of Massachusetts to judge our show. After many unsuccessful telephone calls to locate judges, our President, Darrell Baker graciously consented to judge the classes and I was given the honor of judging Puppy Sweepstakes.The Puppy Sweepstakes judging began at 9 oclock Sunday morning with a class of eight 6-9 month old puppies. My placements in this class were1 Auroras Darin Courtesan, owned by Charles Jacqueline Liddle. A lovely, sound 9 month old bitch in good coat and of ideal size for breeding.2 Watts Little Peppi Joe, owned by Dolores Watts. A peppi typey little orange male, when in full coat will be easily finishable.3 May Morning Neat N Petite, owned by Sophie Mayes. Just over six months of age, is as her name implies, neat and petite. A very sound, cobby little girl that stole the heart of the spectators.4 Julies Star Sparkling Ebony, owned by Julie Brumback. A nice black female with good body conformation. Somewhat shy but with more ring experience will be a nice contender in the ring.In the 9-12 month class with an entry of 12 puppies, my placements were1 Lenniss Tequilia Sunnrise, owned by Lennis Raines and handled by Marlene Scott. The most appropriate word to describe this little sable male would have to be Outstanding A gorgeous heavy-coated male with correct coat texture, shortbodied, extremely sound in body and movement and handled to perfection. In my opinion, a near perfect specimen of our breed.2 - Snowfires Pecan Sandy, owned by Gilbert Lee Dodge and shown by Skip Piazza, was in close competition to my No. 1 choice. A very showy orange male with good coat and excellent bone structure, a nice head, tiny ears and a sweet expression. A very impressive little boy.3 Silver Meadows Cee Cee, owned by Jacqueline Klein. An appealing, nicely coated female with an overall conformation that made her a good representative of the breed.4 Snowfires Apricot Brandy, owned by Gilbert Lee Dodge. A litter sister to my 2nd placement. A tiny attractive orange -girl, almost identical to her brother in type. A real eye catcher.Best in Puppy Sweepstakes Lennis Tequilia Sunnrise.Best of Opposite Sex Auroras Darin Courtesan.I was very pleased when later in classes, our very capable judge, Darrell Baker, gave the nod for Best of Winners to my Best in Puppy Sweepstakes.I would like to say THANK YOU to our Chief Steward, Robert Claar for his kindness and help to all the exhibitors for allowing me the pleasure of evaluating their puppies, and to the Club for their confidence in selecting me to judge the Puppy Sweepstakes. It was an honor I will long remember.POMERANIAN REVIEW 21Great Elms Kennels, Regd.Congratulations to Dr. Morris and. Betty Carson Breeders and Owners of the Specialty Show WinnerCh.

Mr. LaFore will he missed by all the Delegates, but especially missed by the American Pomeranian Club, Inc. He has been of help to us in may ways, and especially in preparing and holding our first show some three years ago. At the Annual Meeting, the Board voted to present him with a Plaque, in appreciation of his help and this will be done at the March Delegates Meeting.Pursuant to Article VIII of the American Kennel Clubs By-Laws, the following Nominations for the Board of Directors have been madeClass of 1979 William F. Stifel, Irvington, New York.Class of 1982 E. Irving Eldredge, Middleburg, Virginia Robert C. Graham, Charlottesville, Virginia John S. Ward, Arlington, Virginia.These vacancies will be filled at the March Meeting.Since the December Meeting was in the Christmas spirit, very little business was conducted.Turning to other matters, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize two of our Members who went above and beyond the call of duty. I am speaking of Jessie Young, Show Chairperson and Barbara Young, Show Secretary of our 1978 Specialty. After having done this job for two years, I can speak from experience of the amount of work andpreparation that goes into making a successful show, but I never had to face the number of problems that these two went through. Between both of them having pneumonia three weeks before the show, the Chief Steward not being able to attend and then the Judges, both of them, snowed in and not making the show, it was enough to make you give up, but they didnt and we went on to have a very successful show, with no problems. Special thanks also to our Judges, who picked up at the last moment, and did an excellent job. Thelma Dunn, judging Puppy Sweeps and Darrell Baker, judging the Breed.In closing I would like to state that I think we have the finest Club in the Country. When everything started to go wrong everyone pitched in and pulled together, and as always, the APC came out a winner. Keep up the good work.

My wife and I extended an invitation to Pom lovers in our area to join with us in a CELEBRATION OP LOVE for Ruth Beam. We had a good group from the Carolinas and even some from Virginia and Florida attending this 40th Anniversary Luncheon for Ruth. It was truly a joy seeing dog friends that I hadnt seen in years and even meeting a few new ones. Carolyn and Rea Altwater from Jacksonville, Fla. spent the weekend with us. The Altwaters have been close friends for over twenty years.Host and hostess Ken and Eleanor Griffith flank Kuth Beam at the 40th Anniversary party.

After lunch Ruth opened gifts and cards sent to her from many of her friends. Some donated money to buy a large loving cup to mark this special occasion. Others donated notonly money but a lot of time, like Mrs. Ethel Dendy. Mrs. Dendy was kind enough to address and mail the invitations.MRuth opens cards and gifts sent to her. Judith Griffith and Mrs. Carolyn Altwater are seen in the background. Photo by Rea Altwater.Let me share with you how I became acquainted with Ruth Beam. I first met Ruth in 1955 after I had already fallen in Love with the Pomeranian. I decided that I didnt want just any Pom for my first one. It had to be from the best bloodline I knew of. It had to be a Great Elms Pom. I drove the 36 miles to Pineville many times during the next two years trying to talk Ruth out of a good brood prospect. Just as I was about to give up she finally let me have one that she was keeping for herself. She probably thought that she would get rid of me, but little did she know that was the beginning of an ever growing relationship. I shall never forget that September way back in 1957. I not only got my first Pom but attended my first dog show. The most important aspect of that September was that it marked the start of a beautiful friendship between two dog lovers. Each year since 1957 my friendship and Love for Ruth has grown just as her love and service for the breed has.POMERANIAN REVIEW 29Ruth Beam is overcome by emotion as Bob Goodrich and Gail Riddick present the large loving cup donated by many of her friends. This and the other pictures were taken by Rea Altwater.Who hut Ruth Beam would have given forty years of Love and Devotion to the Pom. Who hut Ruth Beam would have given up much of what this world has to offer for the Pom. Who other than Ruth Beam would literally give their life for the Pom. Truly, Ruth Lowery Beam, you are an exception among people. The Pomeranian world will he eternally indebted for your love and devotion to the Pom.Ruth, I thank you for twenty-three years of friendship and I am glad that I was able to he a part of this past December. A day we honored a lovely and gracious lady.BEHIND THE NEW CHAMPIONSThis valuable feature is missing from the April Issue for just one reason no pedigrees were sent in There is NO TIME LIMIT on this, but free pedigrees are printed FOR MEMBERS ONLY on any champions they finish.

The puppies are commonly presented to the veterinarian comatose or severely depressed. The blood glucose concentration may be extremely low. ... To prevent irreversible neuronal nerve cell damage, prompt therapy is imperative. Initially, it should include a total of 1 to 2cc of 50 glucose per kg. of body weight, administered intravenously.On recovery from the critical emergency, pups should be fed frequently, and oral sugar should be administered at regular intervals until normoglycemia normal blood sugar is maintained. Dietetic Management1. Increase frequency of daily feedings to at least four.2. Supply calories in the form of protein, fat and complex carbohydrates. Avoid simple sugars, such as sucrose table sugar. Complex carbohydrates, such as cereals, are digested more slowly than simple sugars.3. During an acute attack, feed sugar, preferably glucose, at a rate of 2 tablespoon10 kg. 22 lbs body weight.

Kennesaw, Ga. 3014432 POMERANIAN REVIEWFEEDING FOR BREEDINGBy DR. DAVID S. KRONFELD, PhD., D.S., MVSc.Part IIENERGY AND NUTRIENT REQUIRMENTS ContinuedOnly two other nutrients, vitamin A and calcium, have been directly implicated in reproductive problems in dogs. A few other nutrients cause reproductive problems in several species, e.g. iodine and folic acid. And a miscellaneous group of nutrients attract attention for diverse reasons, viz, niacin, vitamin C and Thiamine.VITAMIN A deficiency impairs reproductive efficiency in general. This has been amply demonstrated in other species though not yet in the dog. We are more concerned with the prospect of vitamin A intoxication, because it is present in abundance in most commercial nutritional supplements. Read the label carefully. The NRC recommendation for maintenance is 1100 I U of vitamin A per day for a 22 lb. 10 kg. dog. I would not exceed this by more than a factor of 10. Also, on some general interspecies grounds, I would not exceed a ratio of 101 for Vitamin A to vitamin D. Much higher doses of vitamin A have induced bone fractures, unprovoked hemorrhages, and cleft palates in pups when the bitch was fed the vitamin on days 17 to 22 of gestation.CALCIUM intakes and calciumphosphorous ratios have been implicated in reproductive inefficiencies in other species. One study in Foxhounds fed a predominently cereal diet suggested that reproductive performance was better when it contained 2.25 calcium than 1.55. For many years, expert breeders and veterinarians used calcium supplements with cereal products. This is no longer necessary, because the products now contain 2 to 3 calcium, often more. It would be especially dangerous to use a supplement rich in vitamin D with these high calcium diets. Cereal products are strongly fortified with calcium because dogs absorb minerals very inefficiently from cereals. Calcium added in excess in turn reduces absorption of other nutrients. The dog may develop a thick and red skin zinc deficiency, bone fractures copper deficiency, or goiter iodine deficiency.IODINE DEFICIENCY impairs reproductive function in many ways. The signs have been documented extensively in other species though not the dog. Females do not ovulate properly and reabsorb fetuses. Offspring are bom dead or weak, often hairless, often with enlarged thyroid glands. The NRC recommendation for iodine is about 0.5 mg. per Meal of metabolizabel energy, enough for the maintenance of a 15 kg. 33 lb. dog. This is enough for a predominently meat diet, but I am wary of cereal products which are heavily supplemented with calcium which increases the iodine requirement. I usually recommend 1 mg. iodine per Meal 1000 kcal or 1000 Cal when formulating diets for all species including dogs.NIACIN DEFICIENCY is unlikely to occur in a dog fed commercial rations, but it is still a problem in home-cooking for dogs. Cereals are deficient in niacin, and dogs fed com diets develop a condition which resembles human pellagra. This is characterized by dementia, dermatitis and diarrhea. The discovery that niacin cures pellagra was made in dogs. It liberated about half of the inmates of mental institutions in the com belt and southern states of the U.S.A. Some psychiatrists suggest that a wider range of mental and emotional complaints respond to niacin if used in mega doses.VITAMIN C is receiving must attention in human nutrition because of the recommendations for mega dose intakes by Linus Pauling. It is also being promoted in mega doses for dogs by a veterinarian in California. I have read his papers and find no controlled trials to demonstrate safety or efficacy. Most dogs do not require Vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but a few dogs with a bonePOMERANIAN REVIEW 33condition resembling skeletal scurvy have responded to vitamin C. Some sled dogs in the Antarctic developed fragility of small blood vessels when fed liver stored for months. This condition was alleviated by feeding fresh liver. Mega doses of Vitamin C did not influence experimentally induced kennel cough or hepatitis in controlled studies at Cornell. The NRC concluded that there was no adequate evidence to justify recommendations of routine vitamin C additions to the diet of normal dogs." That is not a bad conservative position in theory, but in practice I add 25 or 50 mg. of sodium or potassium ascorbate to the diet of racing sled dogs and would to that of breeding dogs.THIAMINE INSUFFICIENCY is characterized by loss of appetite, vomiting then after a few days, unsteadiness, heart failure and death. Thiamine is very sensitive to heat, and the feeding of overcooked food for 2 or 3 days may be fatal. On the other hand, overcooking may lead to an insidious, mild insufficiency, and that is what concerns me in regard to high performance.Finally, let me re-emphasize the complexity of interactions between nutrients. When we examine a ration, we usually fail to find a single pronounced deficiency or excess. More often there are multiple marginal doubts. We move all of these towards more central values and problems disappear. This is harder to do of course when you are striving for maximal performance. Think about these interactions protein and fat polyunsaturates, vitamin E and selenium vitamin A and vitamin D vitamin D and calcium calcium and zinc, copper and iodine iodine and energy energy and everythingDIET FORMULATIONMost dieticians and nutritional scientists hold the general opinion that it is the final assemblage of nutrients which determines the nutritional merit of a diet. This needs to be qualified for dogfoods, because the two main staples, cereals or meat, confer very different digestive and metabolic characteristics on the diet. If the diet contains 25 protein from corn and soy beans, for example, rather than the same amount of animal protein, it will be inferior in many ways, such as palatability, efficiency of absorption of many minerals, and efficiency of utilization of essential nutrients after absorption.CEREALS started to be consumed in large amounts by dogs only 100 years ago when the English learned they would accept the English tea biscuit, presumably dunked and sweetened. The broken biscuits at the bottom of the barrel, kibbles were very cheap and began to be used increasingly as dog food. The main problems emerged during World War I when meat became scarce in Scotland. Working sheepdogs on high intakes of oatmeal exhibited thickened skins and dry coats which responded to fat and liver probably niacin, riboflavin and iodine.During the 1920s dry dog foods were developed more actively in America, and the practice has kept pace with the low price of grain in this country. Only in America are the majority of dogs fed predominently cereal diets and only for one reason. Cereals provide the least expensive form of food energy for dogs starch. This is used reasonably well when cooked, but it reduces the efficiency of digestion of food energy, protein and some minerals, e.g. iron. Cereals also contain cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin forms of fiber not present in animal tissues which depress the digestion and absorption of many nutrients, e.g. calcium and magnesium.Making an acceptable dog food on a cereal base is far from easy, so manufacturers of cereal-based dog foods have been involved in research. Cereals must be supplmented with protein and fat, niacin, riboflavin and cyanocobala- min vitamin Bi2 plus calcium and Continued on Page 6234 POMERANIAN REVIEWSTANDARD FOR POMERANIANSAPPEARANCE The Pomeranian in build and appearance is a cobby, balanced, short-coupled dog. He exhibits great intelligence in his expression, and is alert in character and deportment.HEAD Well-proportioned to the body, wedge-shaped but not domed in outline, with a fox-like expression. There is a pronounced stop with a rather fine but not snipey muzzle, with no lippiness. The pigmentation around the eyes, lips, and on the nose must be black, except self-colored in brown and blue.TEETH The teeth meet in a scissors bite, in which part of the inner surface of the upper teeth meets and engages part of the outer surface of the lower teeth. One tooth out of line does not mean an undershot or overshot mouth.EYES Bright, dark in color, and medium in size, almond shaped and not set too wide apart nor too close together.EARS Small, carried erect and mounted high on the head, and placed not too far apart.NECK SHOULDERS The neck is rather short, its base set well back on the shoulders. The Pom is not straight- in-shoulder, but has sufficient lay-back of shoulders to carry the neck proudly and high.BODY The back must be short and topline level. The body is cobby, being well ribbed and rounded. The brisket is fairly deep and not too wide.LEGS The forelegs are straight and parallel, of medium length in proportion to a well balanced frame. The hocks are perpendicular to the ground, parallel to each other from hock to heel, and turning neither in nor out. The Pomeranian stands well up on toes.TAIL The tail is characteristic of the breed. It turns over the back and is carried flat set high. It is profusely covered with hair.COAT Double-coated a short, soft, thick undercoat, with longer, coarse, glistening outercoat consisting of guard hairs which must be harsh to the touch in order to give the proper texture for the coat to form a frill of profuse, standing-off straight hair. The front legs are well feathered and the hindquarters are clad with long hair or feathering from the top of the rump to the hocks.COLOR Acceptable colors to be judged on an equal basis any solid color, any solid color with lighter or darker shadings of the same color, any solid color with sable or black shadings, parti-color, sable, and black and tan. Black and tan is black with tan or rust, sharply defined, appearing above each eye and on muzzle, throat and forechest, on all legs and feet and below the tail. Parti-color is white with any other color distributed in even patches on the body and a white blaze on head.MOVEMENT The Pomeranian moves with a smooth, free, but not loose action. He does not elbow out in front nor move excessively wide nor cow-hocked behind. He is sound in action.SIZE The weight of a Pomeranian for exhibition is 3 to 7 pounds. The ideal size for show specimens is from 4 to 5 pounds.TRIMMING DEWCLAWS Trimming for neatness is permissible around the feet and up the back of the legs to the first joint trimming of unruly hairs on the edges of the ears and around the anus is also permitted.

Vernon, Ohio 43050Above is a sample of an entry in the Annual Stud Register which will appear in the July issue. The Review is pleased to award this sample Stud Card to Ch. Millamors Moon Rock.It is a well-known adage that in seeking a stud for ones broods, the surest road to success comes from selecting a stud which is from an excellent family of winning and producing dogs, which is an outstanding example of the breed himself and which has sired a number of winning progeny. There are many such Poms in this country of ours, and it should always be remembered that a study of the pedigree is of highest value in picking the most suitable stud for each particular female. It is foolish to select a stud dog ONLY on the basis of his show wins or because he is conveniently located next door.Cost of entering your dog in the Stud Dog Register is S7.50 for the first entry, plus the cost of the cut if you do not have one the proper size, and 3.50 plus cost of cut for second and each subsequent entry of the same owner. Also, dogs may be entered without photos, if none are available, and a description of the dog may be inserted in the space intended for the photograph. Cuts to be used must be no larger than 2 square, and new ones from your glossy print will cost 6. Description beneath cut is limited to twenty words. An advertiser sending three stud card entries will also have the opportunity of ordering 100 copies of the page on which his entries appear for an additional S7.50.Because of the work involved in looking up old cuts, typing pedigrees, etc., we ask your cooperation in sending your copy as early as possible. Please mention the back issue in which your cut was used, if we have one on file. Glossies and pedigrees will be returned.ABSOLUTE DEADLINE May 20th36 POMERANIAN REVIEWCHAMPION SHEEBAS LITTLE DRAGONFLYBy OLGA BAKERAll of us dislike reporting a loss and feel saddened to talk about the passing of a special little Pomeranian now and again yet it is an honor to be able to make commendatory statements about a little Pomeranian like the late Champion Sheebas Little Dragonfly, bred by our good friends, Howard and Cora Hale of Dallas, Texas, and owned by another special friend, Mr. Sam Zaneoff of New York.Dragon was decidedly the dog Sam Zaneoff had been awaiting he had been on a serious quest for just the right Pomeranian for some time and we were assisting him with his search. Sam had set high standards, as we all try to do. After having seen Ch. Sheebas Little Dragonfly shown to Championship very quickly along with his also-famous brother, Ch. Sheebas Little Com Duke, in Texas and discussing it with the Hales, we notified Sam and appropriate contacts were made. The Hales made the decision to sell Dragon, recognizing that it would be difficult to vigorously campaign two males simultaneously, especially litter brothersIt did not take Sam very long and it did not take Dragon very long to establish an excellent reputation in the world of dogs and most particularly in the word of Pomeranians. Most of you reading this column have seen Dragon himself or some of the lovely photographs of him, so I shant detail his outstanding qualities and special attributes. My one touch of vanity however that cannot be denied is that I can state unequivocally that of all Dukes famous children and grandchildren, Dragon matured into the one most closely resembling his famous father. This in itself made him a very special little dog to me. Darrell and I supported him, as did most of the others in the world of Poms and on one trip to ourpart of the country, Darrell had the pleasure of holding the string and handling Dragon all the way to a very powerful Best In Show.Dragon achieved notoriety with an enviable record of 165 Best of Breeds, 65 Group ls, 35 Group 2nds and 16 All- Breed Bests In Shows. He also won two 2 Specialty Best of Breeds in consecutive years at the National Pom Specialty. Pomeranian lovers must appreciate this fine little dog and his owner for the lovely quality, his promotional campaigning which afforded many the opportunity to see him, and the win record. Perhaps even more importantly, Dragon was also Sam Zaneoffs much- loved pet and constant companion.In the last issue I had the unpleasant task of reporting the death of another famous Pom, Ch. Dukes Lil Red Baron of OKala I certainly dont wish to gain the reputation of being the eulogist for the world of Pomeranians. It is only coincidental that these two wonderful dogs died about the same time and even approximated one another in age. It also is coincidental that these two dogs were ones that Darrell and I were especially involved with, due not only to their breeding, but to their histories in the world of dogs as well.The Pomeranian world is always saddened by such losses, but every little creature leaves something for us one profound comment was made by a judge, normally a Working Dog judge, at a show in Maryland I believe it was, where Dragon was being judged. The judge looked him over on the table and stated Now lets take a good look at him on the floor instead of on the table he is such a BIG little dogThank you, Dragonfly.COYERThe July Cover has been sold.

John and I have had Pomeranians just nine years. My first love is obedience, but I enjoy most aspects of the dog game. We have four CDs, one champion, and until a few days ago, one litter. I still consider myself a novice and am hoping this column will generate lots of correspondence.Not long ago Marlene Scott was telling us about the awful time her house caught on fire. Defying firemens orders, she dashed back into the burning building to rescue three Pomeranians. The dogs were fine, but the house burned to the ground and all her grooming equipment was lost.The Japanese Chin column of Dec. 77 Gazette describes an incident in which a woman at a show was using a blow dryer with an inadequate extension cord. The cord exploded along its 20 foot length. The fire was quickly controlled, but what might have happened is mind- boggling. Just think of ali the sawdust and newspapers at shows.Not all such stories end happily. Whole kennels of dogs have been lost to fire. The prospect of fire is a real nightmare, no matter how many dogs you own. Lets consider ways to prevent or cope with a fire.Smoke detectors are the best investment you can make. Each unit costs between 25 and 50, and one or two units should be sufficient for your kennel facilities. They are easy to install and maintain.You should also have at least one fire extinguisher in your kennel area. The ABC type is best as it will handle paper, wood, grease, and electrical fires. Learn how to use it and put it where it is easily reached. Check it periodically to see that it is charged.Just as you practice fire drills with your family, plan with adults in the household how to get the dogs out. Is there more than one exit from the kennel area If your cages are fixed in place, are the latches easy to open in a hurry If your dogs are house dogs, do they always sleep in the same place Do you always know how many dogs are in the kennels so you can be sure all are out Do you have a place to put them safely once theyre outYour heating system is the most likely source of fire. Have it inspected yearly. If you use an oil or gas heater with a flame, dont use hair or bug spray near it.If youre building new kennel facilities lucky you, give a lot of thought to fire prevention in selection of materials, layout, electrical and heating systems. Fortunately, most fireproof materials are also easy to keep clean concrete, cinder block, aluminum. If possible, design all pens for floor level, since deadly smoke tends to rise. Put in at least two exits.At shows, be sure your equipment does not block aisles. After you set up, note the nearest exits and the paths to them. Look to see if there is a fire extinguisher nearby. Be very careful when you plug in any electrical equipment. If you use a dryer or clippers, get a heavy duty extension cord to carry with you.Place a sign or sticker on your front door or on the kennel door announcing Dogs Inside, to alert firemen in case fire should break out while you are away. Two decals saying Pet Inside or Pets Inside specify single or plural can be obtained by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope and one dollar to Blue Ribbon Dog Breeders Box 6463 Elmwood Station Omaha, NE 68106SEND IN YOUR HINTSPOMERANIAN REVIEW 394iIDLEWYLD GEMSTONE, C.D.Gem is our first homebred May Morning Social Lion ex Golden Tiara Dambeastie, C.D. and our fourth obedience titleist.

GRIBBEN 11059 Timberline Road Houston, Texas 77043I just dont quite know where to begin or end with a formalized report this time. Im just going to ramble on about our local happening with a little bit of this and that.Our October meeting was at Burch and Cindy Downmans house mainly because Cindy was expecting momentarily and partially because our sweet club secretary and her husband, Sherry and Steven McNemey were giving a baby shower in their honor. We had dinner and a condensed meeting first and then the shower got under way.Sherry had the dining room table decorated adorably with a stork center- piece and all the matching baby accessories and served a delicious champagne punch with a beautiful special cake and candies. Olga Baker, our dear president and flower arranger brought along a stunning bouquet to brighten the room and was in charge of the games.The shower was a first for most of the men and they fully participated and enjoyed themselves immensely. Cindy began opening the purty packages and the boys oooed and aahed right along with the gals. Who ever said showers were the special prerogative of women only Everything was beautiful, Cindy and Burch were overwhelmed and we all had such fun.They had a rosebud of a girl, Harmony Victoria Downman, on November 4, their first child and our Clubs first in many moons. Cindy followed the Lamaze method all the way and claims that the whelping of puppies gave her a great deal of insight. Hummm could be I forgot to mention that this makes Jim and me grandparents for the first time. What could be sweeterOur November meeting was held at the home of two really super people,Tony and Connie Tellez. Connie served some scrumptious dishes and we all complimented the hostess by literally stuffing our poor tummies. You can do that again anytime, Connie Tony and Connie are our clubs representatives to the Combined Specialty Association and are always eager to help with any club activities. They have had several very nice Pom litters and are most hopeful these days and encouraged by their positive results. I -understand there may be a show prospect or two among those cute pups. Tony and Connie have had their order in for them for a good long time. Great beginningsLinda Miller has three darling Chihuahua puppies, one orange and two parti- color, one being a longhair. Saw their picture cavorting about and they are just as busy as Pom puppies on the go, and thats BUSY. Lindas cute little male Pom, Myway Adrian Adair went Winners Dog at the Palm Valley Kennel Club show -this past fall. We are looking forward to lots of news about him in the future.Kathy Elanakin, a sweet, petite, new member has bred her first bitch to Tujays Son of a Gun, hoping mightily for sable offspring. She is just on pins and needles waiting for her first litter. Kathy has just recently purchased a finely bred young lady from Dan Mercer and as soon as Dan can see the buds begin to swell on the trees, hell know it is warm enough to ship her to Kathy. Sounds to me as if this young lady is off to a very fine start.Well, ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET. I have more good news. I just talked with Darryl Baker and he informs me that at long last he and Olga are the extremely proud Grandparents of a beautiful baby girl named Brittany Joy Goldsmith. Isnt that just the prettiest name, though Their daughter Jeri and her husband indeed celebrated Valentines Day in the loveliest way and have a Valentine for the whole family to love Continued on Page 52POMERANIAN REVIEW 43MYWAY KENNELWe wish to send a belated but sincere Congratulations to Opal Mosher on her kennel visit in the January Issue.

Or does it only look that way. It is hard to believe that this is the same town where we had our garden just about six months ago. By the time this goes to press, the snow will be melted and spring will be upon us I hope, so I will try to forget it for now.I cant begin to tell you how difficult it was for me to write this article. I usually enjoy writing it, but this time I have some very sad news. Cookie, our Chocolate Champion, passed away on Jan. 2. She surprised us all when she came into the world. We had never seen a chocolate before, much less thought about or wanted one. Her color was one thing, but her show career was also filled with pleasant surprises. Well, she shocked us even more when she left. She didnt leave us empty handed tho. We have here two little boys who are determined they are going to find out what life is all about one way or another. And you guessed it, one is chocolate, the other surpriseAs most other things in this part of the country right now, our Club has been rather inactive and, I believe, will remain so until we can see the green grass of spring.See you thenMERRY MAMASAccording to OUR ANIMALS published by the SAN FRANCISCO SPCA, if your dog or cat has just had a litter and doesnt have enough milk for the new arrivals, give her a few swallows of beer. It is said that this will bring milk in abundant quantities and the small amount of alcohol will not affect the babies.KENOSHA COUNTY POMERANIAN CLUBSALLY BAUGNIET, Corresponding SecretaryWe had a Christmas Party and Puppy Match at the home of Lucius and Elinor Luccas.

We have grown a lot in the past few years and gained a lot more experience. I think the club can look back and see how novice we really were. The club is still learning but has progressed a long way.HEAD IN THE SANDMany Pom breeders and exhibitors dislike negative comments on our breed. They would like to think every Pomeranian bred or shown is a potential Best in Show winner, without faults, deserving of only the highest praise. They nod their heads in agreement when they read of the excellent overall quality of the entries at a Specialty Show and the tremendous improvement in our breed today. Words of warning go unheeded, and the general attitude is that if there ARE problems in our breed, they would rather not know about them Breeders, please take your heads out of the sand and open your eyes You are NOT ostriches, you are Pomeranian Breeders, and you cannot overcome faults and problems in our chosen breed unless you first recognize that they exist.POMERANIAN REVIEW 47ANDREWS POMERANIANS ANDAM.

The competition was tough and excitement high as Weelands Pepe Bimbo, C.D.X. placed seventh as a result of losing the run-off with a final score of 194.666. Pepe and his handler, Carolyn Page Edwards were proud to be in 'the top ten after three shows in two days. Placing in the top ten entitled Pepe to compete in the Classic in Los Angeles December 3 and 4,1977. Due to confusion about closing dates for entries, however, Pepe was not allowed to show in California after having travelled across country. This was a great disapointment to Pepes handler but we look forward to future opportunities. Pepe and handler will be travelling to Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1978 trying for his final leg on U.D. title. When he receives this he will have to compete against his best friends and traveling companion Super Dog Gra-Bars Dancing Duchess, U.D.,also of Franklin.

Songs first show was in Parkersburg, West Virginia. She got a trophy for the highest scoring Pomeranian and we received another for the highest scoring Junior Handler girl under the late judge, Loy Green.In January, 1976, we finished our CDX requirements. We placed first in a Parkersburg summer show. She was one of the few dogs which completed the long sit and down out in the blazing sun. We placed third at Western Reserve Cleveland, Ohio while competing with forty other competitors. We finished with a second place at Marion, Ohio.Song is a very happy worker. She constantly watches every move I make. She has been trained with a combination of Koehler, Pearsal and mainly Godsil-Self methods.Song has also been my main 4-H project for five years. We have won at our Country Pair and gone to the State Pair four times. We won first in the State Open competition and received an Outstanding of the Day award another time. Most of all, dog training has been a lot of fun. I have also learned a great deal from it.On October 10, 1976, we received our Tracking Dog title. My mother and I spent many hours tracking our dogs, sometimes in extremes of weather, from January chill factors of 15F. to summer heat and cover which was up to my waist. Then Song often needed to stand in nearby streams due to our fear of heat exhaustion. We utilized a combination of Pearsal and Johnson tracking methods with a strong emphasis on Glen Johnsons techniques when we practiced daily in nearby fields.We also went to Trey Acres Kennels near Coolville, Ohio, where Jacque and52 POMERANIAN REVIEWRay Jones, AEC tracking judges, assisted us and several other tracking dog owners. Everyone worked together laying tracks for each other and figuring out many of the problems which arose.Song was certified and entered the Blennerhassett tracking test. The track was on a hillside, rather long and had over five turns in it. When Song found that wallet I couldnt believe all the excitement. What a good feeling It was greatMy mother has continued to help Song and me with our Utility training and we will hopefully get our UD this year. P.S.I do not subscribe to the Review. I have never shown Song in conformation as she was spayed at an early age due to a possibly inheritable defect. We did show in Junior Showmanship a few times, and several people commented on what a nice example of the breed she is.The following good advice was received from Pat Fife of North Branch, Minnesota. Ive found that even the smallest leather training lead with swivel snap is too heavy for the size of my dog. The snap weights the lead too much, and also the snap has a tendency to swing back and forth and hit the dogs face, causing him to heel wide in an attempt to keep away from the snap. To solve this problem, I fashioned a lead out of a light weight nylon cord such as conformation leads are made of. Instead of using a conventional snap, I used a swivel-hook used for fastening hook and leader to a fishing rod line available in any sporting goods department. They come in various sizes and work on the same principle as a safety pin.Using a heavy type training lead, the dog can feel the weight and know the lead is on and that a correction is quick to come, and so he works accordingly. When the heavy lead is removed for off- lead work, there is more of a tendency for sloppy work, as the dog knows it is not there. A lightweight lead has anadvantage in that by its lightness the dog has a harder time telling whether it is on or off, and so works more consistently.HOUSTON Continuedalways. We all couldnt be happier Congratulations to one and all.Darrel told me of the chain of events leading up to the New York Specialty Judging. How often Fate takes a hand It was so unfortunate that our judges were snowbound but indeed a silver lining that Thelma Dunn and Darrell were on hand and acceptable to the A.K.C. WEre quite proud of that gentleman down in this neck of the woods and really wish we had been able to be present to see all the beautiful dogs being judged. Darrell said it was a superb turnout and really is quite impressed with the superior dogs being shown.Thats really what its all about, isnt it It is encouraging to all breeders, be they old hand or quite nouveau to see that perserverance and careful selection, indeed is meritorious, eventually.

VOA IHO, CanadaOne of the main reasons that I look forward to any show I find I am able to attend is that once again I will meet new friends, and old ones, and be able to talk dogs without being thought rather foolish. Vancouver shows proved to be the place to meet two Pomeranian breeders from the state of Washington, the Hundleys and the Harbins, and to see some of their dogs. I have to admit I turned out to be a very poor representative of Pomeranians as my Finnish Spitz took my energies and enthusiasm when he was awarded a group third, and I did not get to do the visiting I would have liked to with the Pomeranian exhibitors. I fully intend to get to the same area again in hopes I can get to know them better next time.I have heard from a few Canadian owners and can see that imports from United States and one from Ireland are certainly doing well in our rings. Christine Cullen in Nova Scotia is very proud of what her boy Millamors Rock Medallion has been coming home with, and the Northeys of Ontario are telling about the wins of Topaze Little Pumpkin. In the Maritimes, the Irish girl, Tynan Minnie Mouse, owned by Miss N. Dunfee, has captured a few Best in Shows as well as other top placements. Come on now Canadians lets hear about our home bred Poms I know they must be winning too cause Ive seen how good so many of them areSpeaking of meeting and talking with other exhibitors at the shows reminds me of an opinion Id like to express. It was brought to the front again after I read comments in the Yips and Yaps bypersons wondering about the help or non-help of others with the same breed. I think many of us could learn to think before we talk. Often a statement is made which is not what was really meant. For an example, while discussing a veteran Pom that I admired, with a nod to my male that had just been awarded Best of Breed, this statement was made well he earned his wins the veteran not like this one here my boy. My first reaction was to retort that I have never paid a judge, nor offered to sleep with one Not that the lady judge who had placed him second in Group would have appreciated the offer anyway. However I said nothing. I have since learned to know this person better and I cannot imagine this type of statement ever being made if some fore-thought had been gone into the wording of it. Another comment that was made that puzzled me was a suggestion that a male on exhibition only be sold as a pet as soon as possible. This expert had not seen the dog out of a sleeping position in the rear of his cage, and knew nothing of his pedigree, conformation, nor of his finished champion off-spring, but with one statement had a novice in tears. The fact that the dog had been lamed by a poor set of a broken leg at 5 weeks meant he could not be shown, and that was all the information used in making this statement. I urge everyone to think before you sound too brutal to others who are trying to learn.I look forward now to the arrival of two black Poms from Boulder River kennels in Michigan. Here already is a girl, Cinder-Relly, so I am really getting used to the different color in with the reds and oranges. I have been reading and re-reading the book The inheritance of Coat Color in Dogs by Clarence Little and have been picking the brains of other breeders, and gradually trying to store up information to help me work with real color breeding. Now to convince the C.K.C. that all colors should be accepted in our Canadian standard.Continued on Page 64POMERANIAN REVIEW 55CHRISCENDO POMERANIANS proudly presents THE SENSATIONAL POM PUPPYMILLAMORS ROCK MEDALLIONSince his arrival in Canada, Medallion has just begun his show career.

Box 717 League City, Texas 77573In my October Column I had suggested several topics which I thought might he of reader interest. I did not receive the reader response for which I had hoped so I postponed the January Column. The response did not come. I am sorry I think it would have been interesting to hear many breeders experiences.I did receive a nice letter from Marge Gorman discussing the suggested topics so in this column you will hear from Marge and myself.Concerning weaning, Marge writes We try to wean puppies at one month but have weaned as early as two weeks or as late as two months depending upon the specific situation. Obviously, a puppy weaned at two weeks requires a different formula from one weaned at two months. The earlier weaned puppies usually get a mixture of baby instant cereal, pureed meat and evaporated milk with warm water to make a gruel. Older puppies are started on semi-moist burgers soaked in milk to make a thicker food that can be lapped up from a dish. The thinner gruels are fed either by eye dropper or spoon. As the puppies progress, the food consistency is made more like adult food until they are able to manage completely on dry meal. All changes are made gradually with some of the old food mixed with the new so that changes in consistency are readily tolerated by the puppies.The above sounds like a good plan. I personally like to follow a very gradual weaning plan following the bitchs and puppies natural inclinations. Some bitches like to keep their puppies othersfeel their job is over quickly. If all is going well the bitch and puppies are all well rounded I do not offer food to the puppies until three weeks. At this time I offer a mixture of mixed baby cereal, baby meat, baby vitamins, and bitch milk formula. For the first week or two I hold each puppy on my lap as it eats. This serves several purposes. The puppies learn to eat standing beside not in the dish. They develop a love of people, and very important for show dog or pet they learn to travel away from mother and litter mates and to have fun by themselves in a strange area.By the time my puppies are four or five weeks old I replace the baby cereal with ground in the blender or soaked dog meal. Gradually they eat more from the dish and less from their mother until they are totally independent. As soon as they are strong enough to chew it, my puppies eat the regular dog ration meal, eggs or meat, wheat germ oil, and vitamins.Some bitches like to continue to live with and train their puppies even when they are feeding them very little. I think this is very good IF the bitch is out for several hours each day so that the puppies can interact with each other, AND if each puppy is given some time by itself with people to learn to react on its own. I have found puppies trained in this manner to be my most responsive and most easily trained show dogs and house pets. If however, the bitch is not interested in puppy training let her go her own way. The puppies can do quite well with the second and third conditions. I have had bitches ready to leave as early as five weeks and as late as ten weeks.This is what Marge and I thought about puppy weaning. Marges letter continues to discuss some of her experiences with color-breeding. I recently had a blue surprise package appear in one of my litters, but I have little colorbreeding experience. I know that there are many of you doing some interestingPOMERANIAN REVIEW 57things in the area of colors chocolate, blue, black-and-tan, parti-color, white, etc. Please, take just a few minutes and pass along your information to the rest of us. 1c c H sfc Recently during a Chihuahua section we saw a procedure which might be helpful to some of you. Two puppies had been removed, one was doing as well as section puppies usually do. The other was in trouble. He was under oxygen and on heat and had been given stimulant, but his color was very poor, and he gasped only occasionally. The vet called for a pan of hot very warm water. He directed Lin to put the puppy in the water holding only his head above the surface. The oxygen was kept over his head, immediately the puppy who had seemed lifeless, began swimming movements. His color rapidly improved and his gasping became regular. After about fifteen minutes the puppy was removed from the water. He then matched his brother. The vets explanation was that the puppy just could not accept all the sudden changes of birth. By returning him to a condition similar to prebirth, he could assume self-regulation of breathing more easily. In my column of April, 1973 I spoke of the dangers of using chlorine bleach on a kennel floor. Just last week I heard of another toy puppy losing its life to chlorine gas. In hope of saving some future puppy I am repeating part of the April, 1973 column. . Four young show prospects died. The deaths could not be explained. Finally a research student sent from AM discovered the problem. To disinfect the kennel the breeder had poured a solution of water and chlorine bleach on the floor. When it was dry, papers were placed on the floor. The wetting of the dried chlorine bleach with urine formed chlorine gas which was trapped by the papers. Chlorine gas is of course poisonous. This Continued on Page 66REBELREPORTB'y SUE GODDARD 5044 Lee Highway Bristol, VA. 24201I am happy to have the opportunity to fill in for what we all hope is a short time for your regular columnist, Kathryn Birk. Ted writes that Kathryn is steadily improving, has complete feeling after her stroke and is able to move about on her own in a wheel chair. She is still having difficulty with her speech, but does send thanks to all those who have sent cards and letters.For years we never talked much about the weather, but since moving to Bristol, VirginiaTenn., weather has been a major topic of conversation. After nine years in warm climates this is taking some getting used to, relearning to drive on snow and remembering years in Colorado, Indiana and Iowa. Everyone local keeps telling me that this weather is very unusual I hope that is correct. After all this is the SouthIn our area we do have a wealth of Pom enthusiasts, including several whose kennels are so well known that we refer to them as a line. Ive always felt that would be the epitome in Pomdom. Everyone knows of Great Elms, Dixieland, and Scotia. I had the recent pleasure of meeting Ruth Beam and am looking forward to visiting her. I hated to miss the party Ken Griffith hosted honoring her 40 years in Poms. Ive known of and corresponded with Margaret Tankesley for years and now that Im closer, hope to meet this grand lady who has contributed so much to our breed. One of the first Pom people we met at a show in Indiana, was Edna Girardot, about 13 years ago. She took time out to introduce herself then living in New York to newcomers. Over the years, we have shared visits at the shows and Edna is always helpful. I was pleased to have her stay a couple of nights in our58 POMERANIAN REVIEWhome in South Carolina. She had a delightful lady with her Edeline Teashout, whose little Pom until her death starred on a Miami Childrens show. This Pom also had an extensive speaking vocabulary which was a wonder to hear about. Mine have never said anything that I can agree withWhen speaking of people who have devoted many years in Poms, I cant fail to think of Margaret Inscho of Poinciana Poms. With the recent death of her last Pom at 13 years of age, Margaret has retired from dogs. The last of her breeding stock live with me. I told her, I would like to hire her to raise pups for me, as she was always so successful. One thing she did a bit differently that worked well for her was whenever there was a litter of several puppies and a tiny one might not be doing too well, she removed the largest puppy and hand raised it. This is logical as it is much easier to hand raise a larger, thriftier pup than a tiny one. This of course enabled the small one better access without the competition. Since leaving Florida, Ive missed seeing Margaret and Bob so much.In spotlighting the shows in this area, Ill turn first to the January Florida circuit. It was a disappointment in entries for Poms as they only had one major available. These shows can usually be counted on for majors. Back in the ring after maternal duties, Ch. Millamor's Marketta took 5 Best of Breeds. Taking his share of wins in Florida was BIS Ch. Funfair Pinto OJoe Dandy.With reports saying Do not travel except in extreme emergnecy, I left for the dog shows in Fishersville and Charlottesville, Virginia. An entry value of 5 point majors in bitches qualified it as an extreme emergency. After being shut in for three weeks with teenagers who had no school and nothing to do but heckle me, it was a pleasure to have the chance to wade through snow drifts and slip and slide into parking spaces. I did enjoy seeing Pom friends that I rarelyhave the opportunity to see, Marlene Scott, Julie Brumback, Ann Cannon and Margaret McKee. I appreciated the assistance that Maynard Wood rendered when I had a small emergency requiring veterinary assistance and he was so helpful in calling his vet, and helping me find the office. The first day absentees dropped that 5 pt. major to one point which went to a lovely bitch, Lynns Charmaquita v Siemhof, owned by a newcomer to our breed, Ann Sims, who heretofore has exhibited Dobermans. A major held the next day and again Charmaquita won WB plus Emcees Solid Gold Diamond finished his championship for proud owners Dr. and Mrs. Morris Carson. Best of Breed both days went to the lovely bitch, Ch. Silva Lade Mama Tried owned by Mrs. Bob Whiteside. She went on to group II at this first show, and I left before the groups the second day so dont know how she fared that day.As I write this I am looking forward to donning my skis in hopes of reaching New York City for the specialty and then after one day home, off again for Charlotte, North Carolina and Greenville,S.C. for the four days of shows. Ill have the opportunity to visit with Pat Brooks at these shows. Pat was such a good friend to me, when we lived in South Carolina and Ive missal her. Pat has an exciting new Pom baby from Dorothy Bonner waiting a few months to be old enough for showing. Stella Lazambri made several visits with Pat to my house and I surely enjoyed her too. Another lady Ill miss seeing is Eileen Waegelein who is new to Poms having come by way of Keeshonds. Eileen gave me a valuable tip for cleaning up those occasional accidents our dear little Poms sometimes leave for us. She uses the small upholstery bottle of Blue Luster, mixed with equal parts of white vinegar and water. It works great on carpets and definitely removes any doggy odor.One thing about our moving about this country that has made it somewhat Continued on Page 64POMERANIAN REVIEW 59Share your devotion to our breed with^Pomeranian g.reetincj. cardd, paper, dliridtmad cardd,notePom Bal ied1978 ddnc^ac^ement Calendarpedigree ormd an d litti er an noun cem en tsPlease send. 500 and long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for our latest brochure toBrettwood Arts P.

Lynnwood, Wa 98036The subject which has sparked the most interest around here lately, has been To Bathe or not to Bathe your Pom. This is the title of an article by Phyllis Andrews of Woodinville, Washington, which appeared in a recent issue of Poms and People, the news letter of the Puget Sound Pomeranian Club, and inspired this column. I have been talking to many Pom owners and breeders in the North West and have collected some opinions for you. Id be interested in hearing from all of you and having you tell me and the readers how you feel. Do you agree with the people I talked to or do you have other suggestionsSome breeders recommend no bathing except in the case of a dirty Pom or an excessively oily one. Some others are recommending frequent baths, even as much as twice a week. A subject which has two such opposite opinions, seems to deserve some notice. Here are some of the comments.Maryanne Melville I never bathe a Pom except when very dirty or oily. Ive been with Maryanne many times when she was grooming. Her special treatment the day before a show was this. BRUSH Pom well, spray with Dromorecide and water. Then towel well and brush till dry.Elva Sally McGilbry Ive never bathed a Pom. We have our Poms BRUSHED by the boys who do our kennel work.Helen Krafcik I trim my show Poms 10 or 12 days before the show and then shampoo the day before the show.BRUSH well first, shampoo and rinse well then BRUSH and blow dry. With the proper stand off coat texture, a bath does not soften and cause a coat to lay down. A proper dense double coat will glisten and shine and stand up all round, and requires only a quick BRUSH to be ring ready leaving me free to enjoy the people and the dogs at the show.Nora Highbee Our Poms are bathed on a regular schedule. We bring two at a time into the house and bath and BRUSH well. Then they stay in the house for their nice visit. This way everyone gets a turn in the house, as well as a bath.Rita La Verne A Pom or any Arctic dog has a dense double coat which keeps his skin clean. Rarely, a Pom will get dirty or have an unusually oily coat and require a bath. When a Pom sheds his coat, a bath is necessary to remove the dead skin and recondition the skin. Most of the time, regular BRUSHING and dry cleaning with a good cleaner and a little powder behind the ears, well BRUSHED out, will keep Poms shining clean and sweet smelling.Irene Harbin I bathe all my Poms very consistently, at least every two weeks. I do not care for the feel of powder in the coat. I like the look and feel and smell of a washed and BRUSHED POM.Jessie Stephens, bathes to condition a coat. Her schedule varies to suit the problem. A soft or long coat with less under coat is bathed less often. A dry splitting coat is sprayed with Pro Groom every day and sometimes rubbed with oil. The oil is washed out twice a week. She uses a good people type shampoo with conditioners. Fill a water jar with slightly warm water and add the shampoo to the water, then pour over Pom and work gently through the coat, to prevent tangling. If coat is in very bad condition, add one egg yolk to shampoo in jar and mix in. Rinse well after the bath and blow dry, BRUSHING ALL THE WHILE.POMERANIAN REVIEW 61SamsonSam will be a clear orange.Shows well, very stylish.Loves people.Pedigree and price on request.

I experiment with each Pom. A Pom in full coat, showing no sign of shedding is bathed at least a month before a show to see how much the bath softens the coat and how long it takes for the coat to bounce into the correct standoff look that is best for that dog. Every dog is different, there is no hard and fast rule for Poms as there sometimes is in other breeds. Poms get oily behind the ears between baths, and this can be cleaned with powder. Be sure to BRUSH it completely out. I prefer to bathe that area only, close to show time, then blow dry. The hair around the ears is softer hair, so the more frequent bathing does nothing but make it look better.ill our Poms are sprayed with water, towel dried, and BRUSHED at least once a week and this is brushing down to the skin. People always comment on how sweet and clean your Poms smell. Part of this is due to care of the coat, part to clean quarters and part to diet, which encourages good elimination and good health.So you see, many people, many variations, but all the same basic premise, a clean by any method WELL BRUSHED Pomeranian is a joy to behold.FEEDING Continuedother minerals. The fat and protein are concentrated on the surface to confer palatability. Most modem dry pet foods are extruded and expanded with air. They are marvels of food technology.MEAT means skelatal muscle according to the FTC. Other organ meats, bone, lungs, etc. are MEAT BYPRODUCTS. In contrast to cereals, meat and meat byproducts contain very little carbohydrate and are rich in protein and fat. Meat lacks calcium, vitamin A, copper and iodine, but these deficiencies are made up from bone and organ meats, especially liver. Meat contains a variable amount of fat, 5 to 50 the remainder is about 30 protein and 70 water.In my opinion, breeders who want a high level of performance should use only those commercial dog foods which have passed AAFCO tests for gestation, lactation and growth. Any of these meets minimal standards for a single product. Further advances, I think, involve the use of various proportions of complete cereal - based products and complete meat-based products depending on the stage of the life cycle and the level of performance which is desired. In undemanding situations, use more cereal. For higher performance, use more meat. This approach is close to fool-proof.The second level of safety would involve the use of predominantly cereal products for the sake of economy plus judicious supplementation with protein, fat and micronutrients. For 1 lb. of dry dog food which contains about 23 protein, 6 fat and 1,600 kcal, enough for the maintenance of a 60 lb. dog, I recommend adding the following for the final trimester 20 days of pregnancy Whole milk, 1 cupful or 8 fluid oz, or condensed milk, y2 cupful, contain protein 9 g and fat 10 g and energy 170 kcal. If the bitch is unused to milk, introduce it gradually, about 1 oz. per day, and hold steady or back off if her stools become loose. Intolerance to milk sugar lactose is manifested by flatulence and diarrhea in my experience, it is very rare in cats and dogs. Com oil, 2 teasp. 10 g, 90 kcal plus dry brewers yeast, 1 oz, or liver, 3 ozs., either of which provides about 120 kcal, 17 g protein and multi-B vitamins. Liver is a better source of vitamin Bia and trace minerals. I would prefer the com oil and liver combination over milk but it is less convenient. Despite the lack of convincing evidence as discussed above, I would want to make sure of iodine and vitamin C. Fresh liver would probably be sufficient, but if in doubht, I would add sodium ascorbate, 25 mg, the smallest tablet commonly available, plus 1 drop per day of tincture of iodine if a smallPOMERANIAN REVIEW 63I.U'VOLUELL'S POMERANIANS PROUDLY ANNOUNCE ANOTHER FINISHED CHAMPION our fifthLUELLS DARLIN DUCHESSCH.Toy Towns Dandy Corn Duke X Toy Towns Cuppi of Jeribeth.Litter mate to CH.

Usually household droppers are too big, so I recommend diluting the tincture with 3 volumes of water, then 2 small drops are used with 1 pound dry food, 1 drop with 8 oz. and so on.During lactation, I would supplement as above for the final trimester, and add VS to 1 lb. of medium fat meat 700 to 1,400 kcal, 60 to 120 g protein and 50 to 100 g fat or a similar amount of low fat meat byproducts, such as heart or tripe plus 1 to 2 oz. tallow or chicken fat. It is now also necessary to add a calcium supplement, 3 teasp. steamed bone meal or 2 teasp. dicalcium phosphate per pound of meat, but no more.Do not add any calcium supplement to diets consisting entirely of complete commercial products. Especially avoid excessive calcium during the last 20 days of gestation because it may make a bitch more susceptible to eclampsia.FOR HOME COOKING, use amounts of cereal, meat and meat byproducts, com oil and calcium in the proportions given above. Use less cereal and more meat and meat byproducts when nutritional demands are greater or higher performance is desired. I have been trying to write a sound and simple guide to home-cooking for dogs for over a year. The task is not easy, especially if cereals are to provide more than half of the food energy. The key, I believe, to any simple system is the inclusion in all recipes of a calcium source bone meal or dical and a source of vitamins and trace minerals e.g. the liver. This is an unusual approach, starting with supplements, for one usually begins to construct any diet upon the cheapest energy source. That approach quickly encounters problems with dogs.WATER INTAKE should match energy intake. The dog will usually take care of this itself if water is provided at all times in a clean container and a safe place.To be concludedGRANT ContinuedTil then I will work for some of those recognized, but seldom shown. I have not heard if the other Canadians who were thinking of expanding into black breeding have been successful in finding the stock they want. I hope so for Id like to work with them.If readers notice I left out mention of the Calgary shows earlier, it is because I once again was a poor Pomeranian observer, for the same Finkie was winning as before and I just couldnt be in two rings, so stayed with Mm. I know there was a good entry, for us and that the judges disagreed with their winners. I hope the owners let us know of any major wins made.I had a small problem show up in the kennel this month that made me more aware of the care needed to be sure we are watching for any sign that things are not quite right. In this case, none of the dogs appeared ill at all, and if the stools were a bit loose, I thought it was change of feed, or . A routine stool check showed Giardia present and the vet soon gave me the correct sulfa drug to combat it. This evidently causes more problems because it can be transmitted to humans, than it does in the dogs themselves.Im still waiting for visitors to just drop in.GODDARD Continuedeasier, is that wherever we have been, we find some Pom folk and feel right at home.

They are usually specials in the hands of a professional handler. When one handler was asked why she trimmed the dog that way, she replied, Because I like it that way. Incredible It seems to me she was implying that she didnt give a fig what our standard says re trimming. Even worse are the judges who ignore the fact that the Pom is supposed to be a natural dog and encourage this practice by putting up these highly scissored specials. Please judges, reread our Standard and grade these dogs down for improper presentation. Novices, dont be misled by this. Continue to leave your dogs skirts natural.Poor rears are quite common in this area. We have even seen judges give limping dogs class placements or points instead of excusing them. Poms are supposed to be sound in movement. Judges, please look beyond the huge coats and pretty faces to the running gear, and take that into consideration.It would help judges and exhibitors alike if major and minor faults andor disqualifications were put back into the Standard.BOB GOODRICH Hampton, VirginiaIn trying to run down some information on a Pomeranian of the past, I found it was not an easy job. I found it very hard getting the information that I wanted. By reading all the articles I could find I was able to piece them together. It ocurred to me that many of our good Poms have gotten lost in the shuffle of time because their owner had failed to put them in print and even with pictures.When I heard of the Anniversary Issue, it was the answer to the problem. People wih Pomsmales, females, studs or brood bitches that are good enough to he remembered for their donation to keep the breed going in such grand style. Now we have a chance to tell it like it is, with color pictures, black white or just a good run down on their Poms.There are so many really GOOD studs and brood bitches that have never been shown, but have produced offspring that have gone on to make the grade, time after time, so they have done their share to keep the Poms going. It would be really nice to have a lot of them represented in our Anniversary Issue.YOUR LETTERS NEEDED.JACKIE KLEIN Silver Springs, N.Y.Could it be the day-in, day-out, depressing winter weather we have had, that makes a Mental Lift seem almost a necessity by February of each year Whatever, our N.Y. Specialty certainly serves the purpose To meet with so many seldom-seen friends from all over the country once again for endless collaboration on our favorite topic, Pomeranians, is just the tonic needed to lift ones spirits till Spring If YOU couldnt make it this year, DO plan to come next year, you wont regret itIve been meaning to share a rather simple recipe for a mixer that we have found extremely satisfactory, especially in feeding dry rather than "wet in hopes of improving tooth health. It never worked for us to try mixing with a canned meat. Even after smashing mashing there was always the chance of a chunk size piece remaining to choke on. Also, even the best of these products contain approx. 75 water, and one might wonder how much actual nourishment the dog derives from said can. If chemicals and preservatives are not too good for us, it follows they must also be of doubtful benefit to our little dogs. The following is an allnatural mixer and our Poms just love it.We fix l'A-2 ground beef at a time. Cover with enough water so that you can stir constantly with a fork while bringing nearly to a boil thus ending with a finely crumbled meat. I add a little salt and a little sugar. Sometimes an egg. or even two. Flavor can be varied by adding different fat drippings from bacon, or stewing chicken, etc. Try a spoon of peanut butter, or a spoon of grated cheese for something different. Remove from heat as soon as the meat' has turned color. Then add a 4 cup or so of raw wheat germ this takes up the moisture. Chilling increases dryness and it remains very crumbly. Another benefit, even my old timers have no problem gumming this down with their bitesize meal.I hope this will be helpful to others and would welcome any comment or questions.MYWAY Continuedseemed particularly horrible to me for it is the sort of thing that might happen to a breeder sincerely trying to keep a clean kennel.Do not forget to write.
