Calif Pom Club to held their re- ional Specialty in conjunction with the olden Gate show on Jan 31 and Feb 1, 970. The Western Pom Club was granted ermission for their Specialty on April rd in Chicago.The -most important news recently tas been the general meeting held at he Devon Specialty. There were 23 nembers present and the main topic va.s the proposed new Pom Standard is drawn up by the Standard Revision Committee and having preliminary approval of the Board of Directors.After thoroughly discussing each portion as to wording and interpretation, a final composite was presented to the Board at the November meeting. At this meeting, the Board approved the changes made at the General Meeting. However, it was noted that there are no disqualifications listed as it presently stands.The Board and Committees have worked hard to put together a new standard representing the breeder, owner and judge points of view, in itself, a very difficult task. In general the proposed standard attempts to put into words a well-balanced picture of the ideal Pom stating what it should be, rather than what it is not. This has not been accomplished overnight as we all know. The Board feels this is a fair composite of the ideal Pom. We allknow it is almost impossible to please everyone and we ask your support in being realistic and fair when you vote.The proposed standard will be presented as a complete package made up of many portions. You will be asked to accept or reject the complete package. The individuals involved have tried to be objective for the benefit of the Pomeranian BREED, not any particular breeders point of view or individuals point of view. We hope that you also will be looking at it in general as an improvement and a step forward for the Pomeranian BREED.The proposed standard will be general knowledge very .soon, but only members of the ARC will be eligible to vote when the mailing is made.We hope you have enjoyed a good Holiday Season and look forward to a very busy ACTIVE year for the ARC.New Members accepted by the Board at the November meeting included the followingStan Margo Garwal, Hinsdale, 111.Charles.

May Morning Echo of HighlandChampions at StudRaising Pomeranians exclusively, our breeding stock is a select few. Concentrating on combining some of the best from two of the worlds most famous bloodlines, and as always, paying the strictest attention to the ideal in temperament and soundness, we are now establishing our strain, based on truly two of the fancys best known Pomeranians, namely, Ch. Aristic Wee Pepper Pod and Ch. Thelcolynns Showstopper. Our carefully linebred pedigrees on all our dogs, go many times to either or both of these great stud dogs The Poms at this kennel are offspring of champions and are being bred only to champions. Of top priority and most important, we do not own or use for breeding any dog with a major fault, as we want to sell to you only that which we would most desire to buy ourselves Since bitches are so few and litters so small, many time we have nothing to offer when inquiries come in. Most of our stock is sold on order to those willing to wait for that worth waiting for.OUR GUARANTEEAll stock sold through Correspondence guaranteed to be exactly as described and stock sold for Show Prospects guaranteed no major faultsPatricia M.

Mayes[ am very proud to present Champion ay Morning Black Magic, to Review aders, although I have not been able get a good picture of her.Nine -or ten years ago, when I was ill living in Massachusetts, I became terested in some black Poms being town by Bob Bellick, and decided then lat I would like to own a few good acks. Bob and Ruth Bellick helped me id my first black, a tiny little female red toy Mrs. Norma Creider of Tulsa, klahoma. They had fallen in love with sweet back bitch Mrs. Creider sent to e bred to Eng., Am., Can. Ber. Ch. ixietown Serenade of Hadleigh, Creid- rs Son Star Senorita.The little female, Polly, was a typey 'om ,and undoubtedly could have fin- fhed her championship, if campaigned, tut she was far too small to breed, so he became a spoiled darling house et.I asked Mrs. Creider for a black ritch large enough to breed. As she yas unable to supply a black, she sent ne a red sable daughter of the good ila-ck bitch, Son Star Senorita. When bred o a very nice black deg, Tremblays Slack Simbo, owned by Mrs. Etheile rurner in Massachusetts, this bitch, Jreiders Little May Queen, gave me a hack male and a black female, May Morning Black Knight Tommy and May Morning Black Magic, known as Margie.May Morning Black Magic did not finish in record time. She will be 4 years old this February, and was carrying her fourth litter when she completed her title. She was not heavily campaigned in fact, coat losses after each litter keptjher out of the ring most of the time.Her show record, however, was. quite distinguished as she finished with four majors, twice going WB, BW and BOS at Specialty Shows for 5 point wins.

DAVISSaturday, October 4, 1989 dawned as t beautiful, crisp fall day with a brisk vind sweeping the Devon Dog Show Grounds where it was slightly wet under mes feet. This was the day of the Devon, Pa. show and the American Pomeranian Club, Inc. considered the Pomeranian classes as its Specialty show.There was an entry of 43 Pomeranians for Mrs. David Crouse to pass her opinion on. The Poms were beautiful as they cavorted around the ring in the brisk, chilling wind. I am not going to give the winners as Mrs. Crouse has very kindly promised to send in her critique of the show.A meeting of the American Pomeranian Club members was called to order after the judging by our president, Mrs. Mary F. Casey. Once again thechanges in our standard were discussed at length and two of our fellow members who are licensed judges gave their opinions freely.After the meeting we all gathered at Sophie Mayes for a delightful buffet lunch and to admire her beautiful Poms. The blacks were a special delight to me and also to see the several white ones as I have a white girl now too. Last but not least were Sophies two Doberman Pinschers who would snitch food from the table when no one was looking. At least the Dobermans thought no one was lookingAll in all, it was a grand weekend and I enjoyed every minute of it, especially having the opportunity of meeting Ruth L. Beam of 'Great Elms fame. Ruth is a delightful person with a wealth of Pom knowledge.k'1tf'ftBEST OF BREED and later CROUP FIRST under Judge William Kendrick Ch. Leaders Little Buck-A-Roo bred, owned and handled by lna F.

There were 29 delegates present, representing the arious dubs who have an elected dele- late to the American Kennel Club. At resent, there are 380 delegates from All 5reed and also Special Breed clubs.One of the highlights of this meeting vas the discussion which was held in egard to the Apprentice Judging Sys- em. The present system which has teen used for the past 20 years does lave provisions which leave something letter desired. The present role of an ipprentice judge requires his or her absence in the ring as an observer and fodent judge. In such capacity, the ap- jrentice judge does not take part in the show, and sitting or standing in the ring ecomes a matter quite embarrassing, it is quite difficult, it was felt, for him ir her to look knowledgeable and in- erested. At present, the apprentice judge has been acquainted with a list if Dpnts which do not add to the status.It was decided that the present apprenticeship application forms will be continued and will be considered iby the Board as previously. On approval a provisional license will be granted. He or she will then be available to the various show holding clubs for service as Judge at three shows. After the third assignment is completed, the apprentice judges application will again toe reviewed and passed upon by the Board for approval as a regular judge for the breed or breeds designated.It is believed that by this new method of licensing new judges it can foe better determined who of the applicants is best qualified. The Board will have had theopportunity of observation of the apprentice in action in the ring and will foe in a better position than at present to determine who may be qualified for license. This matter was presented by Senior Vice-President, John W. Cross, Jr.There was another matter considered by those present at this meeting. At the present time, Junior Showmanship and Obedience Classes are a matter of the decision of the show club to decide whether either shall be a part of the show. In the future the Junior Showmanship part of the program will be an official part of the show with awards and records of results being made official records, to be published with other results of the shows.The American Kennel Club will keep official records of the names, breeds and owners of the dogs shown. All conditions governing the Junior Showmanship .class will appear in the Premium Lists along with the ring number, name of the judge and time of judging.At present, Junior Showmanship classes as a part of the show may be judged by licensed handlers. It has proven to be a difficult matter for such handlers to determine if they would be free to so judge such Junior Showmanship events at a date very far in advance of the date of the show. The Board decided that this part of the show should be made more idignified and meaningful. It is believed that regularly licensed judges are desirable for judging, but in addition, licensed handlers may still be used but the handler would be prohibited from participating in the same show as a judge. In other words, the provisions of Section 13 of Chapter 16, stating that no judge may handle or exhibit in the show where he or she is to be a judge, would be applicable.Continued on Page 31POMERANIAN REVIEWCONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHEStoMR.

Marion is set in a valley, lidst rolling wheat fields and other lall grains. About one-half mile from e edge of town, we drive up to the rge, comfortable farm home of Sam td Aeline Thole. From the bams to e swine buildings, everything around is farm has a well-cared for look, eside his extensive farming operation, ims prime interest is raising purebred PF Yorkshire swine. It is an education i itself to see the huge mothers and leir babies at farrowing time.cm.1 'mv\\deline Thole with Ch. Van Hoozers Lucky vVee Max, Ch. Thole Little Nipper and Ch. The Count of Pom-Ador.You will be greeted and made feel most welcome at the door by Adeline and her two special pets. Sugar Babe is a tiny, orange, huge coated doll of a Pom, the other is the apple of my eye,a tiny, huge coated, short backed stud name Snoopie. He has that appealing baby look about him that calls for a quick hug. My own little Ch. Creiders Betsy Be Beautiful has recently been bred to him and if she would give me just one little Snoopie Id be so happy. He is a dominant type stud, siring lovely puppies. Unfortunately Snoopie has decided that the show ring is no place for him, much to Adelines disappointment.The home of Mr. end Mrs. Sam TholeAdeline is a dedicated breeder who really knows Poms. I have always obtained much help and good advice, which she graciously gives when consulted. A seige of ill-health forced her into semi- retirement, numbers were cut drastically, but not quality. Her Poms are huge coated, cobby, sweet faced individuals. Adeline takes care of all the Poms thru breeding, whelping, down to tube feeding the tiniest ones when necessary. She has able assistance in the person of her college age daughter, Beth. Beth spends her summers at home onPOMERANIAN REVIEWthe farm, as well as many week-ends, helping care for the little Poms. Beth has learned at mothers knee, having never known home without a bevy of the little charmers underfoot.Tholes Little SnoopieThe love for Poms started 'back in 1946. A friend acquired a pet Pom for her children, the first Pom ever seen by the Tholes. Nothing would do but that the three Thole children must too have one. They only got to enjoy their pet for about a year when he met with an untimely end. By this time, the whole family had fallen in love with the breed, so they replaced the lost pet with a little red Pom girl. As a natural sequence, the desire to raise just one litter followed, which was all it took to start the ball rolling. After several fitters, and attendance at a few shows, the quest for better Poms started. A lovely red male from Mrs. Tankesleys kennel and a finished male, h. Van- Hoozers Lucky Wee Max took over the stud 'Chores. Among the broods added were Ch. Greeners Klina Ruby and her two tiny babies, and a lovely little red- orange girl purchased from Mrs. Mc- Kamey. Ch. Rubys tiny daughter was destined to become the mother of Adelines first home-bred champion, Ch. Tholes Little Nipper. I dont think thereis a greater thrill than to finish yo first homebred champion, there is ji no turning back now. Time went on a many promising youngsters left the ke nel, many to be shown and others jt to be enjoyed by their new owners.I think the crowning point in Adeline breeding program came a number years ago when she made a trip Sacramento, Calif, to visit her daughte Karen and family, who were station at Mather A.F.B. As every Pom bree er knows, no trip is complete with visiting the Pom kennels in the are While visiting with the late Phyll Pickesley, a tiny, cobby, Bombardu finebred, sable male caught her ey Adeline promptly fell in love with hh and after much negotiating Jingles cam home to Kansas with her. Shortly aftt his arrival in Kansas, Adeline launche him on his show career. After acquain ing Jingles with the excitement of th show ring, he was put into the capabl hands of Clara Alford. In just a matte of a few shows, he finished his title, ur defeated. I am sure many of you wil remember seeing Ch. The Count c Pom-Ador pictured in Pom Review. Jin gles was an excellent stud, passing hi superior type and qualities on to hi offspring, he was truly a dominant studCh. Tholes Copper ChristinaOut of one of his first matings, came Oh. Tholes Copper Christina, a lovely sable female and the mother of littlePOMERANIAN REVIEWrCh. Tholes Dan Dee Boyloopie. I think we all have one special Dg that is close to ones heart, and ngles was Adelines. Besides having ich a loving out-going personality, he ,d so much toward the improvement of lality in her kennel. Many of her retaining dogs today trace their lineage ick to Jingles. After enjoying Jingles at a short two years, he passed on ary unexpectedly due to heart failure, saving a void that has never quite been led.Several years ago, when her health ery suddenly failed her, Adeline turned her old and very dear friend, Velva anHoozer. Velva took over many of the little Tholes and is continuing the reeding and showing program along nth her own excellent Poms. Under her uiding hand several have finished their itles. Among these are Oh. Tholes Coper Christina, Ch. Tholes DahDee Boy, h. Tholes Lucky Little Me, and Ch. .holes little Tinker Bell.I am happy to say that as of the resent time, Adeline is once again able o take a bit more active part in foreed- ng and raising a few Poms. She has a lew old favorites with her. Im sure ifyou ever take a swing through central Kansas, you will find a hearty, noisy welcome awaiting you at the home of Adeline Thole .and her lovely Poms.Beth Thole and Snoopies babiesNEWS FLASH At the Newton, Iowa K.C.

Check tail set, 5 the tail bone straight, kinked Many oms have a curve at the end of the ail, which is caused by poor circulation it the termination of this extremity, his is not to be confused with a kink, oms with extremely long, heavy brush iometimes carry the tail hanging to one ide although the tail set on is correct, [his can be caused by the weight of the aair, which generally is not evenly dis- ributed, as the dog moves about, thus causing the tail to carry left or right permanently from constant pull by theweight of the hair. Is the stifle well angulated Straight stifles generally suggest there may be patella luxation. Do the hind feet point straight ahead, turn in or out The feet should be round and compact and the dog should stand well up on its toes.Moving to the rear of the dog, check placement of legs whether legs are cow hocked, wide behind or bowed. If the dog is wide behind or bow legged, chances are he has bad stifles, has a knee cap out ,of place or one or both which are easily displaced. This will show up when he gaits away from you. Make a special note to check it if you are suspicious. Check coat texture, density, undercoat, length, color, shadings, shades allowed for sable. Is it a good Pom color, pleasing on the dog. Check testicle number placement and size. Take one more over all look at the dog before you direct the handler to put the dog on the floor.At this time, signal the exhibitor next in line to place his dog on the table, he will have time to arrange coat and stack the dog while you are judging the gait on the dog which has just been examined on the table.The animal you have finished examining on the table is now gaited away from you and back toward you, on a loose lead if you wish. Take a good look at the rear legs Does the dog gait with the legs too wide apart, close together, cow hocked, bow legged Does he move smoothly or does he limp, is he waddling Does he move gaily with his tail up Is his rear end in alignment with his front or does the rear move to the left or right of the front endComing -back, does he move with the front legs too wide apart or too close together Does he pick his feet up and put them down without moving themPOMERANIAN REVIEW 1out to the side or too close to the inside, the latter causing him to cross over in front Does he weave Does he waste motion Does he pick his feet up too high in front Does he move without a limp, smoothly If you are not absolutely sure on all points, have the handler gait the dog again for you.As the handler returns to you, signal him to stop when the dog is 3 or 4 feet in front of you. Check expression making a noise to alert the dogs if you wish, foot placement, ears, tail set and legs, in other words, do a quick once over of the dog.Dismiss the dog and handler by signaling to his place in line and turn to the task of examining the dog which is waiting for you .on the table. Each dog is examined in turn until all dogs in the class have been judged on the table and gaited individually.You have by this time made an estimate of the outstanding good points of each dog in the class, compared the dog with the standard and ascertained the faults of each.Take one last look at each dog as it stands before you on the floor. You may wish to make a few last minute comparisons of fine points. Have the handlers bring such dogs together before you so that you can compare them side by side. Note expression, animation, style, type, quality. Have the exhibitors gait these animals away from you and back toward you if you wish to compare action simultaniously. You may wish to move the whole class around the ring once more.Some judges like to call out the placements while the dogs are moving a- round the ring, thus giving a little extra flare to the decision, playing to the spectators with a climax of color and movement. I prefer this particular method asit gives those handlers whose dogs ha not been placed a chance to make graceful and expeditious exit from t ring. In order to avoid confusion, judge using this method of clearing t ring must make his decisions clear understood by pointing to the dog ai calling the award in a clear firm voic Otherwise, he may be misunderstoo and incredible as it may seem, u scrupulous handlers will rush to a pla marker, thus denying a dog selected f an award, his rightful win. For this re son, a judge must have a picture of tl dog, along with its placement, firmly mind.Another method used is that of pla ing the dogs in order according to mer from first place to the dog of iea. regard. Although this is advantageous i that it leaves no doubt in the minds the spectators as to the quality of eac dog in the opinion of the judge, it is a awkward and degrading situation for en hibitors who do not place in the award For this reason, this type of grant standing should be avoided by judges.Most judges point to and call oi awards while dogs and handler ar standing in line in the order in whic they were judgedTHE ENDThe Review announces with deep regre the death of memberMRS.

C. 28134Above is a sample of an entry in the Annual Stud Dog Register, which will appear in the April issue. By setting costs at an absolute minimum, we hope to secure a very complete list of the outstanding stud dogs in the country. Stud dog owners will find this an effective and economical way of reaching the largest possible number of interested breeders. As our former Editor, Jim Arima, said in the March 1959 Review It is an irrefutable adage that, in the long run, the surest, quickest, and most economical way for success in breeding is to get the best bitch possible and send it to the most appropriate stud dog available . . . Fortunately, Poms are small and shipping costs are negligible when compared to the larger breeds. Stud fees in Poms are also unbelievably low considering the quality of dogs offered at stud.Ccst of entering your dog in the Stud Dog Register is 7.50 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 insterted 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 5. 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 7.00.Because of the work involved in looking up old cuts, typing pedigrees, etc., we ask your cooperation in sending your copy as eariy 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.Send Copy, Cuts, Check toMRS.

Activities. Of utmost importance were the discussions and decisions of what our members wanted for a recommendation to the California D.og Fanciers Association to be introduced to the California State Legislature as a fair law governing Hobby Dog Breeders. If passed, the new State Law would govern, eliminating the various sometimes unfair local restrictions throughout the State areas.N.C.P.C. holds two AH Age Matches each year. The Fall Match was held in October at San Leandro, Calif. One of our Southern California Members, Mr. John Thyssen, did a very thorough job of going over his 33 entries. His selections were as follows3-6 mo. Dogs Golden Glow Lonesome George owned by Vern and Joan Sanders9-12 mo. Dogs Wylies Highstep of L.P.K. owned by Mary WylieOver 12 mo. Dogs Show Stopper of Trails End owned by Eleanor Morin3-6 mo. Bitches Skylark Pride and Joy owned by Irma Sather6-9 mo. Bitches Queenaires Gin Fizz owned by Dudley and Wanda Roach9-12 mo. Bitches Blossom Views Little Sheba owned by Irene WeltzOver 12 mo. Bitches Wylies Pitty Pat of L.P.K. owned by Vern and Joan SandersMr. Thyssen selected for his Best Opposite Sex In Match the very lovely three months old Puppy Bitch, Skylark Pride and Joy. The Judges final selection for Best Pomeranian In Match was the very stylish 3-6 Dog Class Winner, Golden Glow Lonesome George. The Match was climaxed by an .outstandingpresentation of seven beautiful Champions in Parade, all owned by our members.Highlight of the Match was the presence of the very distinguished Guests of Honour, Gladys Duke and her husband, Albert, of the famed Hadleigh Pomeranian Kennels in England. They are such charming people and everyone enjoyed meeting and chatting with them. They highly praised our N.C.P.C. good fellowship and complimented many of the Poms being presented at the Match. It gave them the opportunity to see the Cream of the Crop from the many Breeders Kennels they visited during their North California stay. They joined our Club and we are very proud to include their names with our Membership List.The date for the N.C.P.C. Christmas Party is December 7, 1969. At this party the ANNUAL NORTHERN CALIFORNIA POMERANIAN CLUB AWARDS are presented to the Top Winning Pomeranians, Breeders of Champions, Exhibitors in Confirmation and Obedience. Awards are also presented to a Member having contributed the most toward the betterment in the promotion and operation in the activities and objectives of the Northern California Pomeranian Club and to a Member having contributed the most to the betterment of the Breeding, Health, Welfare and Sport of Pure Bred Dogs, regardless of Breed or Breeds, during 1969. Because of the Review Deadline, we will have to list the Award Winners in the April Issue.Now that we have settled down from our Summer Specialty and Fall Match, everyone is looking forward to our Winter Specialty at 'Golden Gate Kennel Club on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 in the famed San Francisco Cow Palace.

OBEDIENCERINGby EMMA HEYDE 170 Chicago Way San Francisco, Cal. 941 12News of recent accomplishments by obedience Poms comes only from Northern California this time, but there must be something interesting elsewhere too if we could only hear from you fans about itAt Del Monte Kennel Club all-breed show and obedience trial May 25, Pom- shell Kleine Liebchen, U.D. took second place in the Open B Class with a score of 19614, so became high scoring Pomeranian and won the beautiful trophy offered by Caroline J. Handl in fond memory of her Countess Migo Kiki. This elegant trophy much larger than the recipient was a lovely 21 inch, footed Chippendale tray, and Liebchens owners, John and Rose Derham, were duly proud and delighted. John does the training and handling here and he really does a good job.Richmond Dog Fanciers all-breed show and obedience trial in Richmond, California, had three Poms in1 obedience. Here Bomshell Kleine Liebchen, U.D. was first place in Open B with a score of 19414. We were so glad to see Ken Matheson former president of Northern California Pomeranian Club showing there in obedience again. Ken had little one year old Kerns Gold Flash and this was the pups first show. He came through it all just fine with a good 19114 score to make his first leg towards the C.D. degree. At Deep Peninsula Dog Training Clubs Obedience Trial August24 in Palo Alto, California, Flas made his second leg, taking 6th pla in Novice B a class of 50, with a sco of 12614. What is Hie plus-sign fo . . . Well, he was tied for sixth pla with no less than one of those shar working Australian Cattle Dogs, ai won the run-off Ken and Elizabe Metheson have put several Poms throu obedience degrees, and in 1967 K demonstrated his training ability t winning Best Toy Brace in Golden Ga Kennel Club show at San Francisco wil a pair of adorable black Poms Rave of Point Loma and Kerns Peek-7 Boo. Good to see him back in obedienc lots .of luck. Incidentally, Ken will b judging at San Francisco Dog Trainin Clubs AKC Sanctioned Obedience Mate October 12th.Mrs. Alfred Picone of Huntington, Ne York, writes in a most interesting lette that she now has two Poms in obedience Elmorinas Cavvys Pumpkin, C.D. ant Elmorinas Cavvys Dandylion, C.D. Both of these have a remarkable recorc of high scores made towards their C.D degrees, Daniel having taken seconc place in a class of 37 dogs, and beat a German Shepherd in a run-off to do it She finds that training Poms is a little different from working with the larger breeds, her former experience having been with Keeshonden, with which she did very, very well both in obedience and conformation shows. Mrs. Picone is now training her Poms for the C.D.X. degree, and asked for suggestions, especially in the training of retrieving. The best one I can offer and this goes for all .obedience training is Milo Pearsalls book. I firmly believe that anyone going by Mr. Pearsalls instructions to the letter cannot fail in properly training a dog. His system of retrieving training takes lots of patience, but in the long run it really is worthwhile. He says to sit down by the dog and gently putPOMERANIAN REVIEW dumbell in its mouth, saying Take , or whatever word you chose to use ever change the word or the way a say it. When the dog finally opens own mouth and takes the dumbell. adually lower the place where you e it to him 'Until he is reaching out get it. When you can give it to him m practically down on the floor, put on the floor and give him the com- and to pick it up. Then and then ily may you toss it. If you are using is method, do not combine play re- ieving until the formal i-etrieving is srfected. In play a deg does it because e feels like playing at the moment and hen he tires of it he stops. A properly ained retriever does it when told to, nd this is work not play. However, fter he 'knows it well, play retrieving fine.I feel that a word of admiration is ue here for a Pomeranian fancier who ertainly deserves all the success which s hers. This lady, Valerie Wagoner of Ian Francisco, has just this year flushed one Champion and two C.D. Jbedience Degrees on Poms all dogs f her own breeding, and she has done ill of the training and showing herself, [his in spite of the fact that although she dismisses it as a minor obstacle, saying, I only worry about the things [ CAN do something about, Valerie has juite a bit of discomfort with her back and legs and out of the ring walks with a cane. She has had spine surgery, and less than two years ago was completely bedridden for a long while. Now she attends, training classes regularly and takes her Poms to most of the dog shows and obedience trials. At Contra Costa Kennel Club show in Pleasant Hill, California June 8th her Wagoners Shawna of Missi finished her Championship, and at the same show Valerie rushing from one ring to the other Wagoners Dinky Geld Buttons earnedhis second leg on his C.D. Incidentaliy, this all happened on Valeries birthday what a way to celebrate Wagoners Golden Glori finished her C.D. at Mt. Diablo Dog Training Clubs obedience trial in Walnut Creek, California on April 27, and Buttons finished his C.D. at Marin Dog Training Clubs trial at Ignacio, California June 22, taking home the trophy for highest scoring Pomeranian and also second highest scoring toy dog. We will be hearing more about Mrs. Wagoners Poms in the future as she is starting to show Glori in the conformation ring, and Buttons has already started on his Open obedience training.VM, BEST INMATCHJOARTS BUCKWHEAT, black puppy bred and owned Ly Joy and Art Davison, N.

The Review Staff joins the Entire Membership deepest sympathy ind Miss Virginia Sivori.in expressing to Mrs. Elsie Sivori iDELECATE ContinuedIt is also believed that the new provisions will prove most interesting to those who are the future judges at the Junior Showmanship events. Judges, at present, know that much more emphasis should be given to the skill or lack of skill of persons who are showing. In junior showmanship, the main emphasis will be in this one direction and should prove very interesting to the participating judge. The present day junior showman can well be considered the showman of the years that are ahead. It is, in brief, a wonderful stepping stone in dog show business.The information that has been given on Junior Showmanship changes are under consideration. Your Delegate would appreciate hearing from those interested and who might have ideas and suggestions of constructive value. Your Delegate shall be most willing to present such ideas to the American Kennel Club Board.Your Delegate in closing, again reminds you that he is your American Kennel Club representative for the most wonderful of all breeds, our Pomeranian.

Birk 861 N. W. 38th Ave. Fort Lauderdale FLORIDAThe Natives are restless this month . . . My mail tells me the Pom folks from the north are coming south and the folks down here are going north. Some are making, or have made permanent moves 'Others are vacationing.I guess most everyone knows that Shirley Jones is a Broadway andor movie star. Also that she is married to Jack Cassidy, singer etc. In my state of confusion, as is usual most of the time, I was really confused at a letter from a Mrs. Jack Jones. Luckily the first paragraph told me she is the former Shirley Woodall Memphis, Tenn. otherwise I may have always thought I was receiving mail from the famous S. Jones. However this Shirley has a claim to fame, she owned CH. Toppers Little Corkie. I welcome them to Florida but I do wish they hadnt settled so far away from me Ft. Walton Beach it must be 500 miles from Lauderdale.Her letter mentioned a desire to belong to the Pomeranian Club down here, which brings up an interesting point that has been talked about many times by a lot of us in Florida. The Pomeranian Club of Florida Miami Area is open to residents of Miami only. I think the Miami Area is often overlooked. The state of Florida is really divided into three parts several different ways, including climate and politics. A few of us think we should and could, manage to have at least one other Pomeranian Club to which we could all belong. As it is we are dotted all over and no communication possible between any of us.How about it you folks in Central and Northern Florida. Think we need another clubOther restless natives are the Kabels. Geri Chuck They have left Miami and you will find ihem up near Winter Haven, Fla. and close by youll find The Pitts Jack and Jo from Hollywood, Fla. They have acreage in the same area and will be there permanently as soon as they can get the loose ends tied up as the saying goes.Vicky Sweeneys good friend from Prospect, Conn., Bea Morrell is on the way down for a stay of 3 or 4 months. She and her hubby are bringing 11 Perns with them. If you dont know Bea you can learn a little about her Paragon Poms by checking the Review . . . Jan. 1964 issue has a visit to her kennel.Bertha and Ralph Disher made a surprise visit last week. They had the Pom Pals Kennels in Indianapolis and Morristown, Indiana. They must have s.ome gypsy blood in their veins. They are wandering around the state seeing all their friends for a week or so. We tried to get in 4 years of conversation in 4 hours and darned if we didnt almost make it.I dont know if my male will have his coat by our Jan. shows but in the meantime, before I spent a lot of money on him I wanted to prove him. One day I had two calls for stud service. The first call was from a man from Chattanooga, Tenn. He had purchased his Pom from Mrs. Tankesly Dixieland Knls.. She was a doll, the Pom, that is. But for that matter so is Mrs. Tankesly. The other call was from a lady who had Phyllis Sealys color bred black stock. What a project for a boy who had never been married, two girls in one day. He knew he had to make a choice and chose the little southern gal fromAPOMERANIAN REVIEW 3Term. He was so pleased with himself, and her, but tonight there is sad news. His pregnant wife is missing . . . kidnapped, we fear. Her babies are due Dec. 6th and we are all beside ourselves with grief.Again the mail brings a request for a Pom. Usually they ask for puppies which is no problem. I just refer them to the breeder nearest to them. This time it is for breeding stock and how to find a breeder who will let go .of a quality bitch. Good question isnt it She has a point. She says she realizes the breeders need to keep their good stock BUT . . . NEW BREEDERS need GOOD FOUNDATION stock too. This particular lady says she is willing to pay for quality many times this is not the case. A membership list would be of help to us all I think, so that we could do a better job of referral.Some folks have all the luck or maybe luck didnt have anything to do with Mary Casey going to Bermuda and doing all that winning. I wont list her wins as Im sure she will have them elsewhere in this issue. If she doesnt, she should.This is a little out of my territory but since no one in Fla. has sent me any news of their wins Im happy to tell you that Ruth Doctor, Ft. Wayne, Indiana, has finally had some good luck and has 3 majors on her Imp and just needs 3 points to finish. Imp is a beautiful orange and heavily coated and out of the male she bought from Bertha Disher when she had to give up her Poms because of illness. I suspect I used the wrong word when I said luck. Hard work and perseverance more nearly describes the reason for any good specimen doesnt it.

Or, a paid vacation after shows if she has dogs, kennels, boarders and people to deal with -every minute besides that horrible telephone in every room.I worked1 for the public seventeen years, twelve years as a buyer for a department store and five years -for a public utility company. All of those years I swore I would start a diary of funny things, sayings, and doings of customers, but after many attempts just gave up. I guess what really stopped me cold was the little lady who came to my desk while I was in the utility office and asked me to please watch for her name in the obituaries, and in case it were there and they were going to bury her in an old, -cowboy grave yard, to stop them It seems- she had just attended such a funeral and it was out on a ranch, far removed from town, with nothing but rock, sage, wind and'POMERANIAN REVIEWattle, and it was just too much for her o, you see, that was really a diary topper. But with the boarding kennel, ets and people, you do see and hear erne funny things.Lets all agree with one thing a ierson3 dog or cat come first nothing s too good, nothing is too fancy, and [thing but the best must be available, low they may not have it like that at me, but they want it all first class - when they board them out. For example, the lady I met in the beauty hop wanted to bring her two little labies dogs out to board okay, she ame and wanted an air conditioned com, steak with creamy gravy cooked hree times a day, wanted it to sleep n bed with us at night, and wanted it o sit in our living room on the carpet iuring the day. Well, after much looking ind thinking, we just didnt know what she would do. You can imagine what we wanted to suggest, but being kind-folks, we suggested a baby sitter in her own some that could cook steak and gravy, sleep with the babies and talk to them for two weeks. So help me I found out, at the beauty shop, that is just what she did.Then we had one couple with a 16 year old, who came often and each time they returned they were really disappointed that the old man was still living. They wanted -him to pass on while he was with us, so they wouldnt have to see itYou know people are so vain they cant stand to think of little Poo not crying, barking, grieving, not eating or passing out while they were gone like the lady that came into the office to get her little one and couldnt hear a sound coming from our kennel.

Hope you will forgive me, and I will be very careful hereafter. What I wrote still goes, I guess, except that Ken Matheson didnt judge at San Francisco Dog Training Club sanctioned match after all the poor man wrenched his knee and was in a cast from here to there for about six weeks. That really put him back in his obedience showing, too one more leg to go in Novice and the dog making very good scores.MRS. JULIE MORENO San Bruno, Calif.Pom Review still excells. Keep up the wonderful work. I feel it is the Bible of the breed and such a reward to our beloved Pom Breed. If anyone can give grooming tips, I do feel this is much needed in an article.42 POMERANIAN REVIEWYIPS and YAPS ContinuedMRS. C. D. ANDREWS Woodinville, Wash.My husband and I are members of the APC and enjoy the Review very much. Since we are novice breeders we are just beginning to build our foundation stock, at present with only two dogs but in the market for more of our chosen strain. We read and have read for years all the information we can get concerning our breed. We have always tried whenever writing for information about buying pups or locating a particular strain or product to enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. We do this as we realize the many possible inquiries the older breeders might get and feel this would aid them and save them both time and money.I regret to say that MOST such requests about stock have been ignored by the reputable fellow member breeders of the APC. I feel strongly that this is not only poor manners but also very poor representation of our breed. I have found that I am not alone in this lack of response from these various -breeders either. Perhaps their image can stand this tarnishment but it upsets me greatly to feel that the Pomeranian dog should be so represented. It does little to foster good will or to give encouragement to new breeders to enter the field. If this be their intent then I for one feel they must be doing a lot of ballyho about their stock and have indeed poor quality Poms in their kennels if they are so afraid of newcomers.MR. MRS. F. P. CHRISTLE Felton, Calif.Have enjoyed the Pomeranian Review so much we wish to place our order early for next year. Since third class mail is so slow, have added the extra dollar for First Class Postage.MRS. RAMONA J. SMITH Bowman, North DakotaEnclosed find check for 5.00. Please renew my subscription to Pom Review for another year. Keep up the good work I dearly love this little magazine and I wish it came oftener, was bigger and had more pictures. Thank you.CHUCK REYNOLDS Newcastle, Cal.Say Gal, your Johnny Cant Read and Help Wanted bits were really something. I know how thankless your job is but I sure hope you dont get any takers on the Help Wanted. Not that I think you will have many who could qualify. You are really putting out a terrific Review each month and I for one would hate to see it change hands. If there is anything more that Bud or I could do to help from out here, please feel free to sound off to us. We do not get anything from our Advts. but we want to help as much as we can with support. Is there any other way we can help from this distanceSophie, how is this color thing going One thing we feel out here is that we do not know what is going on until we read it in the review three months later. Our Club is in favor of All Colors and have printed this in our Bark and Bounce which is sent to the Parent Club. Rumor has it the choices will not include All Colors. Is it only rumor It is too bad that condensed minutes of the APC meetings cant be printed so when we do find out what has been done back there that effects all of us we can at least see how it all came about. Our Club must get permission from the Parent Club to hold a Match or Specialty and they are now calling us Regional Clubs but does the Regional Clubs votes for things effecting the Breed nationally have any bearing on the decisions If the All Color Choice is not included it would appear we have no say at all. I know you are not the one to Gripe to - but I feel we have a friend in you way back there where the action is.MRS. BETTY MARDEN Independence, KansasDear Mrs. HustedEnclosed is my check for renewal of my Subscription to the Pomeranian Review.

I have visited her kennel and she has very nice Poms. Thanks again for a very good magazine.PAT HOPKINSWell, here goes Pat Hopkins, as usual, sticking out her neck again The only way to get the breeders to realize what is needed in this breed, is for someone to bring up the subject, make them think about it and get them to evaluate whatis being done to the breed through personal selection, and then hope that these breeders will come to the realization of what is necessary and good for the breed as a whole, not just what they want or desire in a dog for themselves alone.This was most forcefully brought home to me when at a recent show I viewed from ringside, six female Poms in the ring. Of the six, there was only one who was even large enough for a brood and who also seemingly could gait properly in the rear After hearing the remarks running around the ringside from more than one spectator about the poor gaits, bad legs and the entries looking for all the world like a bunch of poor coated pets all in the ring belonging to breeders one came away with a slightly sick feeling perhaps ashamed of even being a Pom breeder, because there they were poor coated,GOLDEN HUE POMERANIANS OF CALIFORNIA Home ofGolden Clow Dacotah KidCh.

These few breeders certainly have accomplished much to be proud of and we salute youEDNA E. GIRARDOT Floral City, FloridaDear SophieI cannot begin to tell you how glad I am to he here hut it is going to take some adjusting to get used to it and to get settled. Unable to bring down any help and find I have time for nothing hut the dogs and then not doing justice to them, could use two groomers for 2 weeks to get caught up. Due to confusion and not much help home and the hurry bustle of getting out, the dogs came down in had shape. Trip was fast and not too tiresome and exciting. So much activity before we pulled out and all day with newsmen, etc. Surely created a lot of excitement and friends and customers were milling in and out all day until we left and even the day before, to say good bye and well wishing. I dont.know how I lived through it. Ve left 315 Nov. 4 and pulled in here just the same hour Nov. 5. Drivers stopped once 3 AM for 40 minutes for me to water and feed the pups. Had exercise pen on but no time to use it. Then we stopped one hr. near here and treated the drivers and ourselves to a good meal. Two more drivers brought my Pontiac down with the Volks Camper in tow. They left 10 AM the 4th and pulled in about 5 min. before we did. Charles could not drive down with recent eye operation and such. It was one fast quick way to get here and door to door service.Drivers were full of fun. On the 40 min. stop they went into the rest area restaurant and told the 2 girls on duty they had 70 passengers to bring in and how were they fixed on food. They said the girls nearly panicked and said please dont do this to us. They came back to the bus just bursting with laughter. Once we had a 15 minute wait at a R.R. crossing and drivers of other buses came in to see our strange cargo for they wouldnt believe our drivers. Dogs were amusing too for many, about 50 chps., and accustomed to riding just settled down, others stood up and looked out the windows, and somewatched the drivers as tho overseeing. We all drank coffee, laughed and passed the time quickly.Once I pulled out of that yard I never looked back. Such a strange feeling to be leaving 35 years behind. As we get along in years these sudden changes are more difficult to accept. It was years of strife, struggle, defeat and success and a slowing down and final realization that it could not go on and that a change had to be made. So here I am in a strange world but I have my dogs thank God, for without them I would be completely lost. They give me hope and courage when I need it most. This is a large home and this in itself is such a change for me for I have never really had a home as I lived in the kennel apartment most of the time. Never had time to keep house and unless I get help here am going to be in a sad state. Mr. G. is not good and has had a bad cold and unable to adjust to his glasses and make the change that is necessary following cataract operations.I have missed so getting on the road and off to shows. I think of them as they come up like Wash, and Baltimore. Certainly not like it is North, get into car and travel every weekend to a show within driving distance. Outside of the Pla. shows the distance will be 500 to 600 miles one way to a show. Guess it means I stay home and this is going to be hard to take for it was that diversion that kept me going. All work and 'no play makes me a dull girl.It was very cold when we arrived but it is beautiful here now and I am thankful I will not have to face the thought of snow and shoveling. It is truly beautiful here, good roads and much scenery. Whatever happens I will always have fond memories to turn to and will live over and over those years of show going and the sacrifice necessary to consistant- ly go to shows as I did. It kept me going and gave me an interest in life and to suddenly change all this is almost too much for me to adjust to. I miss all my friends and will be thinking of them and I hope the holidays will he good for all. I find I cannot keep up with so many dogs and just hope I can reduce some, but of course must do some breeding so I can have some cute little ones around to enjoy. Not sure about a Vet here and it will be trial and error for awhile.POMERANIAN REVIEW 47YIPS and YAPS ContinuedIt will soon be four years since I entered Pomdom and what a four years There have been moments of extreme frustration, bitter tears and wonderful happiness all over my beloved little orange powder puffs. However, Im very grateful to a few people who stood by me, especially during those times of tears and frustration. One usually has plenty of friends during a time of happiness.My sincere thanks go to Elsie McDermott of Kingston, Ontario who sent us our first Pom. Then, I began to correspond with Ann Cowie. How can I adequately thank this nice lady whom I have yet to meet in person Thanks, Ann, for all the telephone and letter writing time you have given to support and help me. Also Thanks for mybeautiful Can. and American Champion, Stylemaster of Nanjo and the sweet bitch to breed with him.Then a thank you to a dear lady who no longer breeds Poms but loves to visit them Daisy Davies, London, Ontario. Daisy and her husband came to visit us out of the blue one Sunday when I didnt know a Pom person within miles. Daisy and I chatted and chatted and she has since introduced me to other Pom people. I hope they will also be friends.These are my friends made entirely through our mutual love of Poms. I only hope that when the day arrives that a Novice comes to me for help, that I will give as generously of my time, experience and encouragement as these ladies. INDEX TO ADVERTISERS Mrs. R. E.
