MAYES 1574 Camp Linden Road West Chester, PA 19380 215-793-1912The affairs of the American Pomeranian Club, Inc. seem of very little moment ompared to current world events and the ragic reality of the hostages in Iran vhose fate is still unknown as I write this. Still, life does go on, and it is in my capacity is President of the Pom Club that I address iur readers.The past year has been a critical one for iur Club. Inflation on all fronts badgers us ivith ever-increasing expense of operation. The Club Treasury very nearly hit the mpty mark, and only by an increase in both dues and Review subscription rates ould we hope to regain a measure of solvency. At this writing, we are still not out af the woods. Dues are coming in fairly well, but until we are several months into he new year, we will not know for certain now many members have felt the APC was worth the small necessary increase in lues, and how many subscribers felt that the Review was too important to drop. We ill have our priorities and some people have very little spare funds, no matter how great their interest in our breed.My own answer to the ghastly cost of gasoline is to stay home most of the time and to make only necessary trips. My answer to the increased cost of home heating oil has been to turn the thermostat down to 65 and have my carpenter construct inside wooden extra storm windows. I have no answer at all to the escalating cost of kibble The Poms have to eat. I suppose the only answer is to cut down on their numbers.By the time you read this, the Annual Specialty will be here, perhaps even past. I am hoping for another record entry, and hoping against hope that another gasolineshortage wont come at the worst time, as it did in 1974. Car pooling will help, if exhibitors can get together. We have two excellent judges, the hospitality room will be open to welcome you and our trophy list is impressive. All this is said in advance, but only time will tell how successful we were.With this issue, you have a change of Review Staff and probably a change of format. Please support Roberta Massey and help her make a success of the Review. Her appointment was on very short notice so her first issue may not be a very large one. Her goal, however, is to have many more articles, better response from regional clubs and in general, more reading matter. I know Roberta can speak for herself, but Ill add my plea to readers to submit original articles or articles you have read which you would like to see reprinted in the Review. Be sure to include name and address of the publisher of printed articles, so written permission can be secured.Dont forget that we will return to the former publishing schedule with the April issue. That issue will again be sent to all judges licensed for Poms, so be sure to get your ads in by deadline time and remember that one picture is worth a thousand words Especially if it is a good picture of a beautiful Pom1980 SUMMER SPECIALTYBy Jean SchrollSubject to AKC approval, the APC Summer Specialty for 1980 will be hosted by the Columbia Pomeranian Club in conjunction with the Portland Dog Fanciers All-Breed Show on July 6, 1980. A Sweepstakes is also planned. Judges will be announced later, upon approval from AKC.At this time we are asking for trophy donations from everyone we need them soon as the trophies will be very special and the deadline for the Premium List is almost here.

Bristol, VA 24201As this will be my last column as your Corresponding Secretary, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your fine cooperation in making this difficult job a bit easier. One who has not had this position cannot fully appreciate the time and work that goes into it. It was your help that made it worth while. I sincerely hope that you will continue to aid the new Corresponding Secretary and my very best good wishes go to Mr. Dudley Roach. Please continue to support him with your patience and good will.We have just concluded a difficult and yet productive year which saw many new changes, some more popular than others, but all necessary to the continued growth and existence of our club. As each of you loves your Poms, you should also love the organization that exists solely to support those little balls of fur. Those few that are in office must remember also that this organization was created because we share that bond of love for Poms, and everyone working together will continue to make our breed one known for the cooperation and comraderie that exists. Many new people to our breed comment on the difference in showing a Pom to that of showing many other breeds, due to the respect that Pom people show to one another. This is as it should be and we will continue to make this a wonderful difference.There will be a general meeting held immediately following the breed judging, open to members and guests at the Loews- Summit Hotel on Feb. 10, 1980. Try to attend, as this is your chance to make yourself heard.We would like to take this opportunity to welcome the following new membersA.

Box 3004 Hampton, Va204 Yukon St. 236638 POMERANIAN REVIEWCOVER STORYBy Paul Randy FreehWere sure we all agree, it is a pleasure to win under a fine judge. But it is indeed a thrill to win BOB and Group One under a breeder judge who has given so much and so many years to our breed.We recently experienced just such a thrill at the Kennesaw K. C. Show under Mrs. Dorothy Bonner. Our thanks to Dorothy for this lovely win and her nice comments about our winning dog, Georgia Hotshot.Hotshot is the son of our all-time top winner and producer, Ch. Randys Jolly Wee Peppi, out of a Peppi daughter, Randys Jolly Wee Georgia Peach. We recently finished Ch. Jolly Wee Tippy the Tiger and another male is almost finished, both a result of the same breeding. As you can see, this combination has worked well for us. Tippy, by the way, was the 17th champion sired by Peppi. We are indeed proud of this record.Hotshot has done well in the ring thispast year in constant competition with the top-winning Poms in the country. As of this writing, he has 53 BOB, 24 Group Firsts, 4 Group Seconds, 10 Group Thirds, 1 Group Fourth, 3 all-breed BIS and was winner of the 1979 Pomeranian Summer Specialty.Hotshot is the type of Pom we really like, carrying a heavy coat of proper texture, beautiful head with very small high set ears, good tail set, and sturdy bones. I just wish all my Poms carried his beautiful profuse stand-off coat.Personality plus, independent YES it took a year for Hotshot to decide the show ring was for showing. However, we think we will keep him if we can get his handler, Carroll James, to let him return home. We must give Carroll credit for making a show dog out of our very spoiled and pampered pet.See you all in the ring in the new year. May you all have a great one.CONGRATULATIONSAND BEST WISHES TO OUR DEAR FRIEND Mr. Bob Goodrichon his new Champion ANWINS SHADOW GAY and also to our good friend Maynard A.

The decorating committee again outdid themselves. Santa, in his blue sleigh, held his team of blue Pomeranians under control with reins of Lifesavers strung together, as he guided them through the holly branches and miniature Christmas trees. Nine-inch high Mr. and Mrs. Santas stood on top of each Poms private ribbon, milkbone and candycane-trimmed bench. These individual decorations went home with each Pom shown. The Bench Show Decorations Committee Judges awarded the club with first place for the third year in a row. A well-deserved reward.Phil and I drove down in the pouring rain the night before the show. Stopping in Chehalis to attend Mass in a little country church, I felt a little grubby in my traveling clothes. Most of the local ladies wore their Sunday best, including hats. Im sure the Lord understood. We had a quiet night in a rest stop near the show grounds. Up early to drive over to the Coliseum in plenty of time to have breakfast before benching our Poms.Then the long wait till ring time. We visited our friends and fellow club members, caught up on all the latest news and of course groomed our Poms. We toured the show room, stopping briefly to watch here and there. A longer look at the Pom ring. The trophy table was set up and laden with silver and crystal trophies. Towering over all was the lovely perpetual trophy for Best of Winners, which Jean Schroll donated after retiring the Best of Breed Trophy by winning it three times with her Texas Ch. Holders A Lil Red Flash. The trophy table was further enhanced by a large painting of a Pom which was executed by new member Jo Ayers. A beautiful combination.The illness of judge Mrs. Suzanne B.Rowe brought a competent replacement in her husband, Mr. Joseph Rowe, who took over her judging assignments. Our scheduled ring time of 130 became 330 so more time to groom and prepare for the ring. At last our time had come. Judge Rowe considered carefully before awarding Cedar Glens Hollerin Herman Winners Dog. Herman was accompanied around the ring hy breeder-owner Alicia Kvamme. We were delighted for her. Que Sera Spirit of LaRita, co-owned by Rita Laveme and myself, was Reserve. Winners Bitch was Que Sera GiGi of Golden Glow, who is owned by Phil and me. GiGi was bred by Sally McGilbry. Best Puppy and Reserve Winners Bitch went a nice black, bred and owned by Muriel Gunther, Char-murs Wendy Bear. Wendy was shown by her friend Jill C. Standley. Best of Breed went to Riggins Dragonfly Flash, owned by Dolores Riggin . Also Breeder-shown. Best of Opposite Sex was Westmost Paper Doll owned by breeders Bea and Wayne George. She was shown by Jo Ayers, who had painted the Pom picture for the trophy table.Riggins Dragonfly Flash, bred, owned and handled by Dolores Riggin, shown winning Best of Breed his first time out as a Special under Judge Joseph Rowe at the Columbia Pomeranian Club Specialty.POMERANIAN REVIEW 1The perpetual trophy was taken home by Hollerin Herman, who was awarded Best of Winners. He and his delighted owners, Alicia and Bob Kvamme, have just moved into their new home. Now that they are finished building and moving and Alicia has had a taste of the Winners Circle again, maybe we will see more of them.We drove home again in the pouring rain with our trophies and Santas, looking forward to next year. And also to the National Summer Specialty which will be hosted by the Columbia Pomeranian Club next July. See YouNOTICEYou will note a change in editors for the Review and with it a change in format more closely resembling the Review as it was under Sophie Mayes. No doubt some readers will be disappointed in the change, liking the style adopted under Pat Lewis. However, your new editor is, to put it mildly, an unartistic klutz with no previous experience in this area, which makes further artwork in the Review an impossibility.The process for printing the Review has not changed, however it is being done by offset rather than by letterpress printing. We should continue to enjoy the clearer photos made possible by the offset process. We want to remind you that no cuts are used in this process and we have NONE on file. We are fortunate in that Pat Lewis was able to persuade her printer to part with the negatives from the three previous issues of the Review so we will be able to make use of any pictures that appeared in those issues. Any advertiser who wishes to re-use a picture may do so at no charge.It is advisable to submit CLEAR black and white glossy photos for reproduction. Color can be used but will not reproduce as well. You should also be aware that Polaroid-type pictures do not reproduce well and should be avoided. The size of the picture should be at least 4x5 inches. The charge for reproducing the picture remains 6.00, regardless of the printed size. Again,once on file, it may be re-used at no chargAdvertising rates, for now, will remai the same.

The home of tall com, uscious vegetables, crisp apples, and the lealthy laughter of children. This is where Jarol and John Galavich and their children, Dennis, 12, and Darlene, 9, live. In this picturesque setting, Carol, like the Pied Piper, is surrounded by her beautiful brood rf Poms. This is a home kennel where each vhelping is truly a home birthing. All the amily paces the corridor waiting for the lappy event. John has even been known to pass out cigars. Everyone is thrilled with the ute new arrivals. It is truly a family affair. Dennis, Darlene and John, of course, have heir favorites. However, Im convinced hey are all favorites to Carol, who sees each pne for their own individuality and I am urther convinced that Carol has ESP going vith all her Poms.PIXIE, now in doggie heaven. Because of John and Carols love for Pixie, they purchased three more little lovelies to breed. Then they selected several colors black, white, sable, cream, chocolate, etc. That novelty was soon put aside for more quality breeding which seemed more difficult while working with the rarer colors.In 1970, interest in showing was introduced by Pat Hopkins of Highland Kennels, where Carol acquired Windfalla of Highland, Aristibelle of Highland, and Ch. Bonners Pepperkorn all of Bonner lineage. Windfalla went on to be Carols first show experience. He managed in his short life a Best-in-Match, Group Placement, and 6 points, even though he was shown only occasionally and met an abrupt and untimely death. Through him began a string of Champions via his daughters, Pixies Sweet Cythanta, dam of Ch. Pixies Sweet Magic and Ch. Pixies Puff the Magic Dragon. The litter sister of Sweet Cythanta, Pixies Bit-O-Honey, owned by DonaldiHfAer -a_________The front view of the Galavichs house, as seen from the road.When other little girls were playing house with dolls, Carol was grooming anything that would hold still for her brush. Her dream was to grow up to be a groomer. That was the beginning, a dream of a little girl raised on an Ohio farm. The reality eventually became the Pixie Kennels, inspired by a never to be forgotten pet,Thatcher, is dam of Ch. Don-Ras Fox Fire and Ch. Don-Ras Prince Preshus.Ch. Pepperkorns grandson, Pixies Golden Party Boy Bobbi, was to be Carols first homebred Champion. His sire was Am. Can. Ch. Wilmas Golden Party Boy, a cobby red charmer purchased in 1972.POMERANIAN REVIEWi I,\Dennis Darlene - holding Bobbi, Doll, Alex and Tigger.Carol is a perfectionist, but flexible. This reflects in her home as well. Her son, Dennis, has already become an avid antique collector, involved in Scouts and church activities. Darlene is a cutie interested in acrobatic dancing. Both children take turns doing the kennel and managing things while Mom is at the shows, with Johns supervision, of course.Carol also breeds tropical fish, including the difficult Angel Fish, and keeps several large aquariums. The family is surrounded by a variety of pets, including Dwarf Netherland rabbits and even a hamster. Carols talents seem unlimited. Her hobbies include hand knitting, crewel embroidery, and she plays a mean organ and accordion. The kids inherit Mothers musical talent as well.The kennel building itself began humbly enough. It consisted of a 14' x 25' corrugated aluminum garage, located about five feet from the house. Odds and ends of lumber, doors and windows were picked up here and there where available mostly used material. John and Carol secured the building with locust posts, poured their own cement, built cages, put in plumbing, wiring, and a used furnace. A real labor of love, it was nearly completed but lacked a ceiling. Its interesting to note, as a prayer went up, a church was coming down, and John and Carol received their ceiling, a prayer answered right from the source. It has been a blessed kennel ever since.The kennel is now paneled, paintei heated and air conditioned. It is graced t hanging plants and awards. All Champior have their names in hand-blocked letterin and a star to designate who is who on the special cages.Outdoors there is a huge grassy yar closed in by chain-link fence that enclose handsome apple trees here and there beautiful shady playground in sight c Carols kitchen window. There sure is a lc to watch for family and friends all th funny antics of the personality pup chasing apples and each other.wmliii iflltll . i Smsi- r- Some of the Poms in the play yard.mThis picture shows the kennel building situate close to the back of the house with the appli trees that shade the Poms play yard in thi summer.8 POMERANIAN REVIEWf-^lxie d ^ j-^omeranianAProudly Present2 NEW CHAMPIONSrBEST SEXOPPCh.

Silver Meadows Alexander, purchased from Jackie Klein of Silver Meadows. He is a devil with the girls and is a hand-kissing continental.Then there is Thelduns Tuff Lil Tigger, purchased from Thelma Dunn. It was a casual visit to the Theldun Kennel til Carol met noses with eight-week old Mr. 2 x 2, who at that tender age had that special something and later became Champion in 1978. Lil Tiggers favorite spot is sitting right smack in the Tiger Lilies. Do you suppose he is trying to tell us somethingJulies Star Ben Great Elms lineage was purchased from Julie Brumback, and a welcome addition indeed He is now the sire of Ch. Pixies Princess Holly, Ch. Pixies Puff the Magic Dragon, Ch. Pixies Sweet Magic, and the most recent Ch. Pixies Cinder Suzette.With these fine dogs at her disposal, Carols interest in breeding has gone a step further than inbreeding or linebreeding. Her principle plan is to create a Pixie Line, using one quality line to complement another. She is more than a breeder, she is OWNED equally by the little Pixies. She makes every effort to keep a young kennel by placing the older Poms in loving pet homes . . . usually with a tearful farewell and a followup to make sure all is well.She takes this attitude into the show ring as well. For this reason she has never used a handler she wants to be there to see her fluffy children do their very best, and since she stays so close to their progress, knows how to handle each one to its best advantage.The nursery is in the downstairs rec room, just below the family room which is adorned by trophies, certificates and an oil painting of Ch. Holly, painted beautifully by Julie Brumback.The maternity ward is upstairs in the bedroom where Carol spends many a sleepless night at the side of a laboring mother.At this sitting there are six beautiful babies in the nursery, some still attended by their respective mothers.

In the years Carol has had the Pixie Kennels, she has made many wonderful friends breeders, exhibitors, and just-plain folks who have selected that special Pom to love. She has often said she owes a special thank you to Rick and Donna Megenhardt for their help and encouragement. Their boundless enthusiasm has helped when showing. Their love and interest in the breed is contagious and their friendship is a treasure.0 POMERANIAN REVIEW' Johnwith the house pets, Puff Holly.And now, we have explored the Pixie tennel, run through the nursery, maternity vard, and peeked into the trophy room . . . md met a host of lovely Poms.

The OTCH was completed at Buckthorn Valley KC on August 18, 1979, by UHLANDS CREME PUFF DELIGHT U.D. She is owned by Gerald and Eleanor Uhland and trained and handled by Ellie. If by chance someone doesnt quite understand what an Obedience Trial Champion is, please let me take a few fines to explain These Championship points are awarded only to dogs which have earned their U.D. degree. The points are recorded for dogs which have earned a first or second place ribbon competing in the Open B or Utility Class Utility B if so divided. Requirements are that a dog shall have won 100 points shall have won a first place in Utility with at least three dogs in competition and shall have won a first place in Open B with at least six dogs in competition and shall have won a third first place under the above conditions and shall have won these three first places under three different judges. The point schedule is based on the number of dogs competing in the classes where the dog has won first or second place. This is no small accomplishment. Congratulations to the Uhlands and Puff. Come on, all of you with the U. D.s - get busy.Mary Straslicka of Marlorns Poms, Brunswick, Ohio, has sent us the good news that their MARLORNS BLACK DIAMOND has finished his C.D. Blackie was handled by Marys daughter who is now eight years old. I have seen a picture of Sherry and Blackie and they are really a cute pair. The first leg was at WRKC show on December 17, 1978, where they won a plaque for Highest Scoring Pomeranian, a large stuffed dog for H.S. dog shown by agirl under 16, and a blip game for H.S. dog shown by a boy or girl under 16. The next leg was at All Breed Training Club of Akron on June 10, 1979, where he scored 1914- The next show was at Canton, Ohio, on June 17, 1979, and they scored 184. Mary is justly proud of her little girl, and congratulations to all three of them.Another happy owner of a new C.D. Pom is Susan Inman of Batavia, NY. INMANS HAPPY DAY FONZY, Susan writes, is not your average obedience dog hes a real clown Flipping and jumping and whirling, he has people rolling on the ground in laughter. Fonzy has acquired the name Whirling Tornado and although at a recent match Susan thought she would try the graduate class, and Fonzy didnt qualify in a single exercise except the stays, he did get his three C.D. legs and trophies for High Scoring Toy Dog and for High Scoring Pom, his third leg coming at the Buffalo Kennel Club, where he took fourth place with a score of 1924 - Congratulations, Susan, you seem to have a five one there, and must be having lots of fun.Our good correspondent, Claudia Frank of Wisconsin Rapids, WI, went to the Central Gaines Regional with her little SILVAKRESS VIVA, C.D., and we certainly have something to be proud of in them. This competition was sponsored by the Badger State Obedience Association, and as you know dogs are judged three times. Viva all 44 pounds of her was the smallest dog there and the only Pom. Her first score was 197, the second 192^4 and the third 195, making an average of 195, which is mighty good in such company. Claudia writes, It is amazing to me that your mailbox is not overflowing with obedience news from proud Pomeranian owners. Every Pom owner I have encountered at shows demonstrates a high degree of pride in their little dog and abundant enthusiasm for competition. I am beginning to believe that very few obedience exhibitors are aware of the Pomeranian Reviews existence. Maybe a breeder who sees a puppy buyer becoming involved in obedience training or any facet of the dog world could expose him to the Review.

He has a beautiful face with a very wide wedgy head and an excellent stop, tiny fuzzy ears and a dense mane on his shoulders and neck.

His coat stands straight off his body and his personality can be summed up in one word HAMJames is devoted and trusts me. If I told him to jump off a cliff he would knowing Id be down there to catch him.James can talk believe it or not. He doesnt just say bark but says a variety of sounds from errf, errrrrr-rrrrr-erf, erf, ERRF-err, etc. He makes it very clear what he wants.James is also my obedience pal.

MayesOn December 2, I attended an American Lennel Club Obedience Judging Seminar, losted by the Association of Obedience Hubs and Judges, in my capacity as Trainer or the Dog Training Club of Chester bounty, Pa.This was an all-day event, 830 to 5, and vas attended by about 165 judges, ro visional judges, would-be judges, rainers and obedience fanciers. Mr. James Dearinger, Director of the AKC Obedience Department, was the Moderator and kept he program rolling along at a good pace. Two licensed judges took turns scoring the performance of six volunteer handlers and logs. All dogs were already titled for the lass in which they performed and the udges still managed to find a great number pf errors to point out with Mr. Dearinger joining into the ring at frequent intervals to stress AKC rulings on different exercises.The emphasis was on educating the JUDGES, not the handlers, yet all handlers ind trainers could benefit a great deal from he program. The judges were instructed where to stand in the ring to watch each sxercise, how to give directions to their stewards, and were reminded of AKC rulings which they may have forgotten.For handlers of small dogs in particular, I will tell just a few of the things that were brought out.Starting with the Novice routine, it was pointed out that while handlers may in this class only gently guide the dog by the collar between exercises, a nudge with a handlers foot or placement with hands on the dogs head or body must be penalized. Judges SHOULD NOT penalize a crooked sit before the exercise begins for instance, before the start of the Figure Eight, but we all know that some do, so the handler should guide the dog into the correct position if necessary. The Heel Position whether sitting or heeling was defined as any point between the dogs nose and shoulder in line with the handlers left hip. This doesnt give much leeway with a PomAKC prefers that handlers let their leftarms swing in a natural way at their side while heeling, and a left hand held in a forward position pointing the way while holding the leash must be severely penalized.If a handler misjudges the distance and stands five feet or seven feet from his dog on the Stand for Examination, the judge should tell him to take the correct position and should penalize him 3 points for not knowing the rules The same thing applies in the Open Class, if the handler does not stand with his toes exactly two feet from the Broad Jump.It was brought out that handlers of small breeds are allowed to bend in order to give a signal on a level with their dogs eyes.In the Utility Directed Jumping Exercise, a severe penalty should be given to a dog which does not go out the full twenty feet beyond the jumps, with a much smaller penalty given to those which go twenty feet but veer off center and sit in the far corner of the ring. The most severe penalty of all should go to the dog which goes the full twenty feet beyond the jump but comes back five to ten feet before sitting, as this is called anticipating the command to jump.The crux of the entire judging and scoring is that judges must have a mental picture of a Perfect Performance for each exercise, and they must ask themselves if ALL dogs in the class performed the exercise like the dog currently being judged, would they all deserve a C.D. degree, etc. Thus, a Great Dane should never be forgiven for a slow sit, a slow recall by a St. Bernard should not be overlooked and a Toy dog should work just as briskly as a Standard Poodle.Final words to the audience were given by prominent obedience judge Jack Ward, now Treasurer of AKC. First, he announced that the Board of Directors has approved the TDX Advanced Tracking Degree and this class would be considered after Mar. 1, 1980, but only for those clubs which have already held Sanctioned TDX events.Afterwards he stressed that AKC wants Continued on Page 37POMERANIAN REVIEWIn Saluting the Obedience Poms We Obediently AnnounceWALDINE, C.D.

The best answer I could give was, It has to be something like Heaven. I guess we had almost perfect weather. I thought it was always like that but we were told that the weather was not always like that, they often had some rain. We were experiencing exceptionally good weather. I was told that when it rains, it is usually at night for only a few hours. The temperature in November, when we went, was in the low 70s at night and the 80s during the day.The All Breed Club of Bermuda holds four shows 3 times a year. The Nov. Shows were held in the beautiful Botanical Gardens. The entry fee was 11.00 for the first entry of each dog, 8.00 for each puppy per show. If the dog is not registered with the B.K.C. a 2.00 listing fee per show is required for each dog not registered. Entries were sent in about 2 months before the shows. Entries close about one month before and the mail takes about 2 weeks to get there. All mail must be sent Air Mail, of course.An import permit for the dogs from the Bermuda Department of Agriculture and Fisheries must accompany the dog into Bermuda. These were obtained by the show committee and sent to each exhibitor. Dogs must also have a Health Ceritficate issued by a licensed Veterinarian within 10 days of shipment.Each person entering Bermuda must show a birth certificate, baptismal certificate or passport as proof of citizenship.We arrived Nov. 7 with two Pomeranians and a Norwich Terrier. Taxi cabs were waiting for our plane to land and take us to our hotel. We stayed at a beautiful hotel overlooking the ocean. This hotel had many cottages. Our cottage contained six units. There were not only our Poms and Norwich but a Rottweiler, Dobe, Bulldog, O.E.S. and 2 Yellow Labs in our cottage unit.For breakfast and lunch one can be casually dressed, but everyone must dress for dinner in the evening no matter whereyou go to eat in Bermuda. To show you how nutty some dog people are, one handler from our cottage NEVER wears a tie and didnt bring one. He was not allowed in the dining room without one, so he wore one of the womens belts around his neck as a tie. They let him in.A few of us got together on the patio each night after the show to celebrate whether we won or lost. We didnt need an excuse to have a little party.This hotel had a salt-water and a freshwater swimming pool plus a beautiful beach for swimming in the ocean.Bermuda has many nice shops with almost everything imported. We had one day between the four shows to explore the Island and go shopping. Dick even had a chance to see a parade and take a boat tour, while I tended to business at the Dog Show.Bermuda has awards for Best Puppy, Best Bermuda-bred, Best Local Dog, and Best of Breed in Breed, Group and Show. We happen to have gotten a piece of the action by taking Best Puppy in Group in two shows and Best Puppy in Show one day. There were no points awarded for this honor, but they do award the same number of points that a dog had earned in Breed if another breed places ahead of that dog in Group. For instance there was a three point major in Poms at each of the four shows. If a Pom did not place in group, those toy breeds who did would get the same number of points as the Pom already had. They would be considered as having defeated the Pom. The same would hold true if the Pom placed in Group. Any toy breed placing above him would get the same number of points as the Pom.Our Norwich Terrier was the only one of that breed entered. If the dog is judged to be worthy, it can be awarded 1 point toward his Championship for each show, even though there was no Breed competition.In order for a dog to become a Bermuda Champion, it must earn 10 points, including a major, under three different judges. He must be registered by the B.K.C.

Amity, Oregon 97101POMERANIAN REVIEWHELPFULHINTSMARGARET McKEE 7660 Idlewyld Road Richmond, VA 23225Selling PuppiesYour precious puppies have survived their first six weeks, and youve decided sadly that you cant keep them all. So now you must think about selling some. Thats easier said than done. The first step is toGET THEM READY Mine get a temporary DHLP distemper-hepa- titis-leptospirosis-parainfluenza shot at seven weeks. Now they are ready to greet the public, so I start getting them out. I take them everywhere I can think of primarily to our obedience club and to relatives homes to expose them to strange people, places, and dogs. I ask everyone to pet and play with them. This exposure is invaluable for developing confidence. I also begin getting them used to toe-nail clipping, ear trimming, and brushing.EVALUATE THE LITTER This is maybe the hardest part of all. I wish I could give you a neat formula for deciding which to keep and which to sell, which will be show quality and which wont. Alas, there is no such formula. Its an educated guess, at best. Most experienced breeders can ruefully tell tales of the pup they kept that just didnt turn out and the pets they got Tid of that grew up gorgeous. Just resign yourself to the fact that whatever you decide, its a gamble.Experience in watching puppies grow up does help. If it is your first or second litter, you may want to ask a fellow breeder for advice. Try to get the owner of the sire or the breeder of the dam to take a look at them. They have a better idea of growth rates and an eye for spotting potential. For me, the best time to evaluate puppies is ateight to twelve weeks of age. At this time can get a glimmer of ultimate size, leg bites, shortness of back, and tail set. If ai of these are bad at this age, they are n likely to improve. Temperament ct change, but you want one that is basical happy, friendly, and likes to be petted.In choosing a pup for yourself, there are lot of factors to consider. What do yc need Male or female Do you want i breed it Train in obedience Do you need particular color How much space do yc have If you can only keep one, look for promising female of breedable size. I lil for females to be about two pounds at eigl or nine weeks. If you are limited in funds space, dont be tempted to keep a gorgeot but tiny female. On the other hand, dor sell a very promising puppy for a pet ju because you really could use the money.Now that youve decided which, if any, 1 keep, you must decide whether the othe are show or pet quality. Then you are read to set a price on each one. Consult oth breeders in your area. I also keep an eye o the outrageous prices charged by local pi shops. Take into consideration how muc you have invested in this litter, the qualit and titles of parents, past producing recorc of the parents, any faults the pup may havi the age of the pup, how many shots it he had, and the demand for Poms in your ares Here again, there is no formula fc determining price. More than once Ive see breeders use a 100 per point formula t price older dogs, and it frequently results i an overpriced dog. Once you have set a fai carefully considered price, stick to it. Yo may get criticism from pet buyers that you price is too high. I always point out that th ugly Poms in a nearby mall are going fc twice as much. Or a Pom breeder ma accuse you of undercutting prices. It is hard choice between what the market wi bear and not gouging the public.ADVERTISING How you advertis your puppies depends on the area you liv in, whether they are pet or show, how man you have to sell, and the media available ti you.1. The best method is word-of-mouth o the breeders grapevine. Let all your Pon friends know what you have to sell hot0 POMERANIAN REVIEWlany, sex, color, pet or show, and price, 'his assumes that you gladly return the ivor by referring puppy buyers to them, dso pass the word to people whove bought uppies from you.2. I havent found ads in the local ewspapers to be worthwhile Ive never otten a single serious buyer from one. dost of the callers felt my dogs were too xpensive. Perhaps if you have a lot of pups d sell, or if you are in a large metropolitan rea, you may feel differently.3. If they are show quality, by all means dvertise in Review. Its not really the best lace to advertise pets, unless you are taking n ad anyway. Same thing is true of show atalogues.4. Local dog clubs may allow notices on ulletin boards or ads in newsletters. But heck and see if it is permitted. My bedience club strictly forbids ads for the ale of dogs. Many pet shops and grooming hops have bulletin boards where you can ut up a notice.5. The Virginia Federation of Dog Clubs nd Breeders annually publishes a breeder irectory. Under each breed is the name of ae parent club and the name and address of ae parent clubs corresponding secretary, 'or each breeder, the name, address, phone umber, and codes for puppies occasional- f\ stud service, Champion stud ser- ice, etc., are given. To be listed in this irectory, a breeder must be a member of a 'irginia dog club and be sponsored or pproved by that club. Not everyone who pplies is approved.These directories are used by dog clubs, eterinarians, and grooming shops to refer uppy buyers. Most of my phone calls bout puppies come from this source. Andcosts me nothingRemember, pet buyers will be local. Few eople looking for a pet are willing to travel d get it. Theyd rather spend 400 in a pet hop for a mediocre dog than drive two ours up the road to pay 200 for a nice ne. Someone looking for a show quality og is usually but not always not only Tiling to pay more, but are willing to travel r have it shipped.THE INTERVIEW Your initial contact ith most buyers will be over the telephone.As much information as possible should be exchanged at this point to save time and disappointment later. You can tell if theyre vaguely shopping for a small dog, or whether theyre just dying for a Pom. If they ask for a female, find out if theyre really adamant. More than once people whove wanted a pet bitch have bought males and been thrilled with them after I assured them that a neutered male is a super pet and just as clean as a female.If the price, sex, color, and age seems to be what the caller is looking for, set up an appointment for an interview. Ask that the whole family come if possible. Do not give your address to anyone who suggests he might just drop in. For Heavens sake, dont appear too eager to sell the puppy. Of course, you will straighten up the living room and bathe the pup before the appointed hour. Be sure there is no lingering doggy odor in the house. You might want to get a sitter for your own small children that might distract you during negotiations. Get out your photo albums, the puppys pedigree and shot record, the registration paper, and the puppys baby pictures. Brush up the sire and dam. Place framed championship certificates, obedience certificates, and rosettes strategically around the room. Type up a bill of sale which includes the following information breed, sex, date of whelping, color, sires name and number, dams name and number, litter number or AKC registered name and number, price. Date can be added later. Such a bill of sale is now required by law in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The bill of sale should also include any strings attached, in addition to the purchase price such as requiring that the animal be neutered, attend an obedience class, be shown, or that the breeder get a puppy back. Think twice about such strings, as they are difficult to enforce. I once required that a puppy be spayed before she was a year old. To enforce this, I kept the papers and told the owners I would refund 50 on proof of neutering. I still have the papers and the 50.When the prospective buyers arrive, offer them a cup of coffee. They will probably want to see the pup immediately. While theyPOMERANIAN REVIEW -1play with him, ask questions. Have they ever owned a Pom before Why did they pick this breed Are there any other animals in the home Number and ages of children in the home House or apartment Is the yard fenced Are they interested in obedience training Do they plan to breed You will have to use your instincts to try and decide if these are genuine pet buyers or are they just posing. Sometimes people claiming to want only a pet are really looking for breeding stock but only want to pay a pet price. They may be fronting for a puppy mill or a pet shop. This has happened A woman in the D.C. area advertised a Siberian Husky puppy in a local newspaper. Returning home on a Sunday afternoon, she found that her daughter had sold the dog in her absence to a Mr. Harrison not his real name. Something about the situation alarmed her and she began investigating. The next morning she phoned area pet shops. Yes, said a clerk at one store, Mr. Harrison works here, but hes out right now. She hightailed it over to the store and there sat her puppy in a cage She got him back, while Mr. Harrison grumbled that he shouldnt have used his real name.Observe the children playing with the puppy. Are they gentle and patient Be especially cautious of children under eight. I say this not only as a breeder, but as a mother of three children. Some kids are great with Poms, but others are NOT. Be certain that the wife and mother welcomes this addition to her household. She is likely to have a large share in the care and rearing of the pup. Be cautious if the puppy is intended as a surprise gift.You have a RIGHT to find out as much as possible about the prospective owners, to assure yourself that this is a suitable home for your precious puppy. And if youre uneasy about the situation, you have a perfect right to say No, Im sorry.The buyer also has rights to certain information. He should be shown the pedigree. He has a right to see the dam, the sire or a picture of him, and the littermates. Since the dam is likely to be out of coat, you should have pictures of her in full coat. Be honest in predicting the pups eventual sizeand color. If you have other beautiful do in your home and want to show them o thats fine. But you neednt give in to ai demands to see all your dogs and yoi entire house and kennel. Yours is a priva home, not a public place of business. It certainly all right to keep sick or out-of-co dogs or bitches with puppies in the nest o of sight.If the buyer says he does want the do offer him a chance to go home and thir about it especially if he has never owned Pom before. Discourage spur-of-th minute, whim buying. Thats what p shops rely on. Most people, however, dor want to let that adorable little fuzz ball g away.If you are dealing with someone Ion distance, all information must be exchange by mail or phone. Most likely, the prospe tive buyer is looking for a show dog breeding stock, and knows something aboi Poms. It is essential that your description i the dog be as detailed and HONEST ipossible. Tell why you are selling the do Include any flaws in your description. The let the buyer decide whether he can live wit big ears or fight eyes or a tail that cuts 1 one side. Better that than have him discovi when the pup gets off the plane that it hi the one fault he hates the most and the po puppy must be shipped back. Send sever pictures of the pup, as well as pictures of tl sire and dam when you send the pedigree.SENDING THE PUPPY HOME On the terms of the sale have been agreed upoi try to answer fully all questions on care an training. You will, of course, urge them 1 take the puppy to a veterinarian withi forty-eight hours as required by our code ethics. The Commonwealth of Virginia Consumer Protection Act gives buyers te days for this vet examination.I provide the following to my pet pupp buyers1. A complete health record includir shots, fecal checks, etc.2. a pedigree3. a list of instructions on how to fee and care for a puppy.Make suggestions on how to help hii adapt to his new home and how t housebreak him. Warn them about the 12 POMERANIAN REVIEWnonth-old uglies, if your line goes through his leggy, coatless stage. Tell them what to xpect at teething time. If you sell a lot of mppies, have these instruction sheets nimeographed.4. a pamphlet on obedience training, ncluding when and where to sign up for luppy classes.5. a few baby pictures6. a goody bag, containing sample sizes f the dog foods I recommend picked up at hows, a pin brush K-Mart, 71c, a awhide chewstick, and a few Milk Bones.7. the aforementioned bill of saleI show them the kinds of collars and leads ' use and suggest places where they can be mrchased. I explain the use of crates and lrge the purchase of one. I show them the various books on Poms, the Pomeranian Review, and a paperback general dog care ook, Your Dog His Health and Happiness, Vine, 3.95.Finally, I ask them to bring the puppy ack at seven or eight months so I can give he owner grooming lessons. This also illows me to see how the puppy turned out. In the meantime, I tell them, call me mytime you have a question.Keep in mind that your goal for every sale s NOT the money, but that both purchaser ind puppy be happy.BSCIRCULATIONMANAGERJUDY L.

GALAVICH ON HER KENNEL VISIT.Mary Nell Hansard Ph 404-234-1766Rt. 1, Box 101 Rome, Ga. 301614 POMERANIAN REVIEWARE YOU BREEDING OR RAISING PUPPIESby Joan GrantReprinted from Issue 4 of Peacock Sez, the Newsletter of the Pomeranian Club of Canada, by permission of the Editor.After seeing Poms in Scotland, England, the United States and nearly every area of Canada, I am faced with the fear that the Breed has no future at all. The number of truly sound Poms is negligible in the total. In soundness I include all the areas I have begun to worry about as I breed my own Poms and have had problems in avoiding. Some Poms are gorgeous, typey, showy, and have such poor legs they cannot jump, or in some cases even run. Some are not so typey but have loads of coat so the weight seems to cripple them, when it is really a poor foundation at fault. Many are missing teeth and others are beginning to lose teeth as young as 19 months. Monorchidism and cryptorchidism are common, and often not recognized. Patella luxation, called by many names including loose stifles, slipping patella, cracking knees, accident result, bursitis, etc., is rampant in the majority of lines we breed from. Out at elbow, down on pasterns, toeing out, cow hocking, are so common that they are often taken for granted. Every once in a while a sound dog just leaps into view, moving with strength and precision and creating a deep desire to own it, to incorporate it into a breeding program of improvement. Open molera, too, is just not as infrequent as we wotild like to believe.Starving out of existence might be one way the breed can go for what chance has a dog with no teeth during its breeding years. Crippled dogs wont manage the trip to the water bowl one day, and lack of water is a fast killer. Running into a comer has been the end of more than one open molera dog. And what better way to defeat a breed than to use defective males and females carrying the gene for the same defect so that eventually none of the offspring are able to produce, anywayIt is time and past time that each and every one of us, as breeders of this absolutely super breed, really opened oureyes to see what we are producing, set our aims on only the dogs that could manage to exist even if thrown into the wilds and cull, cull, cull. I KNOW. OUR LITTERS ARE SMALL. So What Cull anyway, if you care about tomorrow, and set your standards so high that everyone else wonders if you are a bit mad. Whether you raise one litter every 5 years or 20 litters a year, it is in your hands.Part of the problems of today can be laid directly at the feet of some of the judging that has taken and is taking place. A judge who said to me that he chose the dog with the prettiest face even though he knew he wasnt as sound, because a Toy doesnt need to be sound, lost my respect immediately. What utter nonsense Another who placed a roach backed, luxated, and missing-toothed dog over a delightfully sound and typey one of an unusual color wasnt interested in the future of the breed, either. ARE YOUSo right now, not at New Years, make your resolution to set your standards higher and begin to make special efforts, do special reading, research the breed and its history, really look at your own dogs and be honest with yourself. If you are not sure of doggy terms, such as sound, learn them. One long-time breeder thought it was a synonym of complete. Do you know the difference Read the standard and breed to it as long as it is possible, but not if it means ruining the breed. Just for example Why not use an un-allowed color if all the allowed color males available are not sound enough for your new standards When the offspring meet that level to suit you, then go back for the right color. Ed. note the Canadian standard gives preference to the whole-colored dog over the parti-colored dog. Black tan, for instance, is listed as objectionable.Personally I am all in favor of the perfect, typey, small-eared, coated dog with good color, personality, carriage and all the rest, but I certainly dont want to sell pet stock on my way to perfection if the pet owner is going to have nothing but grief.Many will read this and feel that myPOMERANIAN REVIEW 4KNOW YOUR DOGS ANCESTRYYour dogs pedigree handsomely documented on deluxe parchment, typewritten, colors, birthdates, champions and titles in red.4 generation 3.005 generation 5.006 generation 10.00Mailed rolled.

It took me ten years to find him and brindle or not, he is sound and throws soundness. My prejudice is against the destroying of the breed. I bought a cream male from B. C. once and he would have only destroyed as he had Legg-Perthes disease. I bought an orange male from the U.S. and he was severely luxated to the point of needing operations on both hind legs, so he would have only destroyed. I bought a wolf sable bitch in England and she was so crippled with luxation that her operation took place at the age of ten months, after waiting for her to grow enough, her carrying her leg all the while from three months on. Too, I bought another male in the U.S., orange also, and he had open molera so was neutered. Ive bred to well-known Canadian dogs and produced monorchids and cripples and toothless dogs. I am not asking you to compromise and use just rare color dogs, only to exercise complete caution that you use only SOUND dogs, male and female.

Teeth should be scaled regularly to prevent accumulations of tartar. It is also important to remove retained puppy teeth. Such teeth help trap food particles which allow bacteria to grow, eventually causing infection and lost adult teeth. This can be a source of infection to other areas of the body, such as tonsils, kidneys, the heart, and even the brain.POMERANIAN REVIEWCANADIAN SCENEby JOAN GRANT Box 1423 Golden, B.C.VOA IHO, CanadaOn a breathtakingly beautiful December lay, as I write this, I try to tell myself to remember that it will be a spring day when t is read, but it isnt an easy thing to -emember for I have just come in after my physical workout of the month shoveling the new twenty-nine inches of snow off he trail to the kennels. It happens to be warm enough today to make it a real pleasure to have outside work, and to make he snow leave the shovel as readily as wet rement does. But as the poem says, once nside that friendly door, I meet so much ielight ... , that the work is all made worthwhile. And as the Poms race outside o revel in the new white world, burrowing tnd hopping like colored rabbits, I find nyself remembering the many places I have isited over the past few years, and how so many of them dont give their Poms the ipportunity to romp in the snow, where hey are perhaps protected too much, so hey dont get the chance to show they are itill Northern dogs at heart, and not just toys.1979 has certainly been the year of the Pom in Canadian shows. At least four iifferent ones have been placed in that xciting position of Best in Show, one of hem not only one time but many times. I lelieve when the official results are abulated for the year we will note the lighest number of group placings awarded o Poms that has been seen yet in Canada. I im sure all Pomeranian fanciers join me in ongratulations to the breeders as well as he owners.1979 has also proven to be the year the romeranian Club of Canada got a new itart, with the fifth club newsmagazine jeing prepared as I write this. Membership otals are not high but are slowly increasing, ind member participation is terrific. If this mthusiasm continues, it cannot help but nfect others, and the future of the club is nsured.A special project I undertook this pastyear, while making visits to as many of the western Pomeranian folk as I possibly could, was to take particular note of colors. I was quite surprised, for the orange is so often the only color exhibited that I had begun to think of the other eleven accepted in the Canadian standard as being nearly obsolete. Not only did I locate Poms of many other colors, it seems that they will be in the rings before long, too. I am not the only one who is anxious to see that they dont just disappear. Black Poms were quite common, many of them good typey dogs a wolf sable was so true to color that I bought her and there were cream sable and red sable dogs that the owners wish were eligible for the ring. They are keen to have the Canadian club work towards having all colors accepted. I found some I call beaver, and others that were true creams. At home I was surprised with a chocolate pup in one litter, and she will be seen by the public too. Black and tans were also seen, and here, too, it was wished the standard were worded a bit differently. In the main, the oranges were the most disappointing to me for I considered many of them to be losing that brightness that I so admire in a correct orange. When I did a final analysis for myself, I had to admit that I still felt that the overall quality of the dogs was so much more important that the color has to be placed secondary in breeding programs, at least until soundness is more common in the breed. Although there were some colors seen that are NOT recognized by the Canadian standard, the parti-, the blue, and the brown, which are in our twelve, were not found in the flesh.Now I am expected outside again this time to take the gang for their hike. Until you have seen one-pound to six-pound Pomeranians struggling madly through twenty-nine inches of fresh, soft snow, you havent seen anything. Youd think they would at least stay in the path I am on, but Continued on Page 62POMERANIAN REVIEW 4SEASONS GREETINGS ONE and ALL Better Late Than Never From CALGARY, ALBERTA. SHOW REPORT B.I.S. CH.

Mary Nell Hansard was thrilled to finish her Little Bit Stormy at the Kennesaw Kennel Club show under fellow breeder judge, Dorothy Bonner. Later, we had a chance to visit with Dorothy and she is always so gracious and makes everyone feel good . . . win or lose.I had the opportunity to attend the four shows, Columbia, Charleston, Savannah, and Augusta. Columbia and Charleston were held in the same building, and the weather was gorgeous. Savannah was also inside and it was so nice and warm that we had the air on part of the time in the motor home. Then at Augusta, the only outdoor show, the sky fell and it rained all night preceding the show and all day during the show. Immediately following Best in Show judging, the sun came out. Randy Freehs Hotshot took breed all four days and won two groups. She really had an outstanding circuit, as she also finished Jolly Wee Tippy the Tiger. Marlene Scott Halsey also finished a beautiful black and tan girl for Ann Cannon. Her name is Annons Tan- Tar. She is one of the loveliest black and tans I have seen. Edna Girardot had a pretty orange girl at these shows and put a couple of nice wins on her including her second major so it wont be long until Edna adds another. How many champions does that make for this year She had just completed another trip out west. I know I couldnt keep up with her. Her traveling companion,Adeline Teachout is a hair dresser and she helps Edna get the dogs all dolled up for the ring, plus does a lot of the show training. Ednas dogs always seem to show to perfection and their love for Edna is so obvious.Just prior to these shows, I learned that Maynard Wood finished his beautiful little red-orange boy, Ch. Woods Timstoppers Reward. He is really outstanding and should be a lovely one to special. Ruth Beam is this ones breeder.Hotshot thrilled Randy Freeh with another Best in Show in Alabama recently. His handler, Carroll James, has persuaded Randy to let him keep Hotshot some of the time between shows, and he really must know the trick to getting them to show, as he had him showing better than ever . . . really asking for this most coveted award.Dr. Morris Carson introduced a beautiful young male at the Winston-Salem show and he went on to take the breed over his own special. I guess if you cant win it one way, it is nice to win it another. He is a beautiful clear orange, very up on his toes and acts as if he owns the ring. We will hear more from Emcees Sparkling Chip.Just recently I was forced to do some thinking in a different vein from what I had been espousing in the past. We had a nondoggy friend over for dinner and I also had a female quite due to whelp that we were watching over. I had to remark that I sure hoped she would have female puppies. The guest asked, Why and I responded that a male must be super to be of consequence, but a female could be bred even if she didnt mature to be show quality. The guest asked a few more questions and started me to thinking. My Dad raised Quarter Horses and I know they had a saying that went, a horse is only as good as his mother. In all truth, we should only breed show quality females if we are really working toward the improvement of our breed. That doesnt mean that every mamma should be a champion as some simply wont show well enough, or other minor reasons, but the quality should be there. Yes, like you, I have had and have known of mediocre females that produced great offspring consistently.Continued on Page 62POMERANIAN REVIEWIN MEMORIAMVA______D-NEES DATSUNBELIEYABLE8 mos. old 11 points Both MajorsSire Ch.

Snohomish, WA 98290The most exciting news in the Northwest Pom world is the National Specialty to be held in Portland, Oregon, next July, hosted by the Columbia Pomeranian Club, at the Memorial Coliseum, in conjunction with the Dog Fanciers Club of Oregon.The judges are being considered, hospitality is being arranged, and if past performance is any criteria, the club will do everything possible to give everyone a great time. Im sure this will be a Specialty you will not miss. As a side light, I will be showing movies. I have recorded the birth and growth of Pomeranian puppies, beginning with a Caesarian Section and continuing with weekly pictures showing growth and development. I ask myself why I seem to get all the sections and others never see one. Perhaps it was so that I could make this film. I would have included a natural delivery, except that the mother surprised me with an accomplished fact, three babies all clean and well when I got up that morning. She as much as said, Id rather do it myself. Hopefully I will be able to film a natural whelping soon. The other club members are all working hard to make this show one you will remember.I really enjoyed Margaret McKees last Helpful Hints column. Perhaps because so much of what she wrote could have been written about me or people I know. I especially agree with her saying, Never give up, keep on trying. Phyllis Andrews called me today to tell me about the latest puppy to be born at her house. She gave me permission to share it with you. The puppy was bom dead. No signs of life. Never give up, so she massaged it and dipped it in warm water and then in cold and then in warm again. A drop of stimulant under the tongue and another drop into the umbilical cord and more massage. Finally giving up and turning to mother Angel and attendingto her. After half an hour she returned to the puppy and, as she picked it up to dispose of it, she saw a quiver. Quickly warming the puppy in front of the fire and giving it artificial respiration for two hours, she was rewarded with a living breathing puppy. Needless to say her name is Angels Miracle.Another breeder told a story of attending to a delivery of a seemingly dead puppy. She wrapped it in newspaper and went about caring for the mother. At the end of three hours, she started to throw it away but stopped when the paper wrapping began to move. I must echo Margaret McKee Never give up. Keep on trying. There are two new champions in the Northwest. If I miss someone Im sorry. Im not a mind reader, you have to tell me.

MAYESReprintedfrom January, 1977 IssueOnce upon a time, when AKC first approved obedience trials as an official part of the dog show scene, no dog could earn the coveted U.D. Utility Dog title until it had passed a Tracking Test. It is a legend, but still it is a fact that the first Toy Dog to earn that U.D. degree was a Pomeranian owned and trained by Mrs. Agnes Niven of Connecticut, Georgians Betty by name. This title was confirmed in the September 1943 Gazette. No other Toy Dog was awarded a U.D. until the rules were changed in 1947 and Tracking was eliminated as a pre-requisite for the U.D. and made a separate degree. Those of you who own a complete set of back issues of the Review can look up the article about Georgians Betty in the January, 1965 issue.Lost in the files of the A.K.C. Show Records Department is the name and date af the second Pomeranian to pass Tracking and earn the T.D. title. This unknown Pom lid not complete other requirements for the U.D. Third Pomeranian to gain the Tracking title was Susie OThe Avenue Spark, C.D.X., owned by my son Joseph F. Mayes and trained by me in both abedience and tracking. The T.D. was awarded in October 1955. Fourth Pom to pass Tracking was my Starlites Betty Lue, LJ.D.T., Can. C.D.X. Dixie, who passed ier Tracking Test in October of 1957, and an completing requirements for her U.D. in 1959 became the second U.D.T. Pomeranian in AKC history and to date the ast to earn all obedience degrees. My third Pom to pass Tracking was May Morning Waltzing Matilda, T.D. Terry who larned no other obedience degree. She oathed a collar and lead and would roll aver on her back and scream, when I tried o teach her to heel. But she was far and iway my best tracking dog and earned her T.D. in April of 1960.All this seems like ancient history, and yet 10 other Pom has passed a Tracking Testsince 1960. There have, of course, been many Utility Poms. In an attempt to explain both the enjoyment and the frustrations of tracking with a Pom, I have made an effort to recall some of my experiences during the 5-6 years I was involved in this difficult endeavor. I found the pleasure of training the Poms to track far outweighed the problems, as long as I had someone to share the tracking and unlimited time to devote to it. When I moved to Pennsylvania and had to go to work full time, there wasnt enough time for everything, and much to my regret, the obedience training and the tracking both of which take so MUCH time have had to be put aside.When we lived in Massachusetts, I was very active in obedience circles and eager to take our Poms as far as they could go. A great friend who lived in the neighboring township was a typical New England spinster in the highest sense of the word, a spare, athletic, ambitious gal who wanted to train her Standard Poodle and German Shepherd to track. And so we embarked on a course of training, taught by another spinster lady who had trained the first U.D.T. Dachshund and who knew something of the procedure. Right away we found that Dorothys Poodle was a natural when it came to following a track but with the Shepherd and the Pom it was a very different story. Added to the expected difficulty of making the dogs understand exactly what it was we wanted them to do, I soon found that the sheer physical aspects of the various terrain we encountered in our training could spell defeat for a Toy Dog. A lovely foot-high field of grass became a formidable forest for a Pom to push through while dragging a twenty foot length of thin cord, expecially if it was wet.We did, finally, learn the rudiments of tracking and Dorothy and I met almost daily to lay tracks for each other and practice with our dogs. Her township was more rural than mine and contained several large farms with available pastures. SparkPOMERANIAN REVIEW 5had an excellent nose and the willingness to use it, but she had a terrible addiction for cow flaps those flat, fresh plops of cow manure one was apt to come upon in the fields. Until you have experienced the sight and smell of a Pom who has rolled in one of these, you will not understand what an extreme handicap this could beWith many many days of practice and hundreds of tracks behind us, we entered our dogs in a Tracking Test. When it was my turn, the two judges held a conference, and called me over. One made the pronouncement they would let me try, but they wanted me to understand that as Toy Dogs HAD NO NOSE, the attempt certainly wouldnt be successful The wind was blowing strongly from behind not the easiest condition. I gave Spark the scent at the first stake, but she turned, sniffed the air and went straight back INTO THE WIND and up to a man who, it turned out, was our tracklayerConsternation prevailed Start again, they said and banished the tracklayer. We actually managed to follow about half the track, when we came to a ditch about three feet deep and two or three feet wide the Grand Canyon for a Pom. She followed the scent downwind along the rim, looking for a place to cross. The whistle blew see, Poms have no nose and so we failed.We also failed our second test, when, having travelled all the way to Pennsylvania for the test, the two judges didnt want me to subject the poor little Pom to the unexpected gale winds and freezing temperatures. We tried, but a six pound Pom really cannot stand on her feet in the teeth of a gale.Our third try a week later was crowned with success. For what seemed like an eternity and actually turned out to be 50 minutes, I slowly followed as Spark painstakingly sniffed inch by inch along the entire quarter mile track. The almost unbelievable explanation of her difficulty during our luncheon break, the judges had used OUR TRACK to test another dog for readiness to try a tracking test So Spark was sorting out the scent I had given her from among the others that had gone more or less the same path.Dixie had great enthusiasm foi tracking, but most of her delight came froir other scents she might run across during practice. She was the mighty hunter personified. Once when she was taking 2test, she went down a ground-hog hole Luckily, the occupant wasnt home. Sht flunked her first try when seagulls swoopec and landed nearby and so enthralled hei that she could not bear to return to the mere human track. Many times in practice, she insisted that Dorothy had climbed right up a tree thinking perhaps I wouldnt notice the squirrel sitting on the branch. But she did have a nose and almost made it twc weeks before she whelped her one and only Utter, coming within 20 feet of the glove before she got too tired to finish. The nexi time she did make it and triumphantly tossed the article in the air aftei completing a difficult track. Part of it wen through a thicket of saphngs standing abou shoulder high on a person and spaced abou six inches apart.Terry had a superior nose and wasn sidetracked by animals or cow flaps. But sh was inclined to rely on winding or takinj the scent from the air instead of the ground When our first Tracking Test presented u with one leg of the track alongside anc only about 10 feet from a post and rai fence, Terry insisted on following the ai scent on the OTHER side of the fence However, she did pass on her seconc attempt and traversed the distance in a very expeditious 15 minutes, never strayinj more than a yard from the actual track. Bu afterwards one of the judges made the unkind remark that as a Pom could neve find a lost person or track down a criminal achieving a T.D. degree was-really a farc and should not be permitted by AKC.Recently when I let my gang out intc the runs and Red put her nose to the ground and trailed a baby groundhog to the log under which he had taken refuge, I knev that but for the present circumstances o lack of time and a tracklayer I might hav another T.D. Pom. I sincerely hope tha someone will find the time and the couragi to put another Pom through to a T.D. or U.D.T. in the very near future.54 POMERANIAN REVIEWPOMERANIAN CLUB OF GREATER HOUSTONby OLGA BAKER 207 Shlrieen Drive, Seabrook, TX 77586I have just attended my very FIRST meeting of the Houston Pom Club as a slain vanilla member instead of as the President it was refreshing to participate rather than lead, and our new President, Carolyn Crockett, did an exemplary job of ronducting the meeting and keeping things moving.Having been in numerous clubs and organizations over the years, Darrell and I lave noted differences in conduct of meetings. Some like very formal, run-by- Roberts-rules meetings, everything irotocol. Others like informal, chatty, more social and fun-type meetings. Still others rave sort of a mixture a little formality, a ittle looseness, just the right mix to get the ob done, yet comply with members sreferences. Havent you noticed that, too [t seems specialty dog clubs local ones, not she parent ones often run a rather loose ship, concentrating effort toward having log events, matches, fund-raising affairs, log shows, and providing for a community in interest and promotion of that clubs own particular breed of dog, the club function equired by A.K.C. Our Houston meetings lave nice appeal we think we meet in ndividual members homes monthly for meeting, club business, and dinner. Meetings have a good feel to them and nembership likes an opportunity to visit in members homes, see their dogs from time so time, and socialize and take care of business all at once The magnitude of a city such as Metropolitan Houston seemed a onstraint to this practice, however we ound ourselves frequently traveling some 70 or 80 miles ONE-WAY to meetings vay way down South toward Galveston pr way way up North toward Dallas, et etera, arriving back home some Friday lights at 100 or 200 A.M. Obviously this iurt attendance and proposal was brought ip to change our meetings to one centrally- ocated place for convenience and to mprove on attendance. Membership deci- ion on such new practice was a resounding, NO THANKS after much discussion,procon talk and deliberation. Thus, we shall happily continue to meet in homes, having social hours in conjunction with club work and providing for everyone the comfortable environment our particular group prefers.I recently uncovered an article in a nursing publication that I have capsulized for inclusion here, feeling bits of this will be of special interest. I re-worded lots of the article since it was lengthy, serious, detailed, and VERY CLINICAL.Captioned, Learn to recognize the strange things that happen to some people in groups, this article was written in a more psychological vein. Quoting from the article Lets suppose you call a meeting or group discussion. You soon find that a Evelyn keeps talking too much b Karen seems unusually touchy c Jack keeps making sarcastic remarks and d the whole thing seems doomed and meaningless. Why Because these people are showing what psychologists call nonfunctional problem group behavior. Their behavior hampers effective group discussion and activity. To deal with them effectively or other recurring disrupting behavior read on. Youll find descriptions of people weve all met in groups shown here for what they really are. The article outlines actual DEALING with such situations but for our purposes we will just skim the article.THE NONTALKER Reluctant to participate or unsure of what to say. Possibly this is only his personality but it may also be a clue that the person is angry or upset, or feeling rejected.THE ANGRY AGGRESSOR Anger expressed in a group setting can be threatening, and any expressions of hostility carry with them threat of altercation or disruption of the group.THE SMOKE-SCREENER This is a ploy certain people use to avoid revealing anything significant about themselves also used to avoid examination of feelings. This is a familiar attitude, known in lay terms as cover-up tactics.POMERANIAN REVIEW 5THE MONOPOLIZER Who hasnt attended a meeting where one of the members took over, dominated the entire time, and kept others from expressing their ideas The monopolizer, like the angry aggressor, can present a major threat to the leader of a group taking over control of the group or irritating and alienating group members with constant chatter or interruptions.THE DISTRACTOR Frequently tries to change the subject or stop a discussion for unknown reasons. Doesnt like to stay on the subject takes up time.THE RESCUER A chronic helper, overeager to help a do-gooder, sometimes over-serving someone who doesnt WANT it causing discomfort. Also in this group would be the one who has a quickie solution for everything an Ill handle that or Ill take care of it almost always never actually doing the promised thing.THE SABOTEUR This one always tends to undermine the groups efforts. His behavior is usually quite destructive it may threaten the groups integrity and is ALWAYS a negative influence in a group.THE DESERTER The deserter leaves in the middle of a meeting and does not return or attends one meeting, or a few, then fails to come back, usually giving no explanation. Loss of a member for any reason usually hurts the group.THE SCAPEGOAT Sometimes a group singles out one or two members as targets for animosity. Schoolteachers are familiar with this syndrome picking on somebody, quite common in classrooms.THE SEDUCER Uses manipulative gestures and tactics to get something he wants.THE PASSIVIST A leader can sometimes ask for a volunteer to work on a specific task, only to have all members look at their feet as if they hadnt heard him. This sometimes happens only because the purpose or task is nebulous, possibly just needing a little more discussion and explanation.THE CYNIC Uses the fighting defense.

Anyway, after judging the Stillwater Brittany Club Specialty on Friday night, I spent the next two days on horseback in 94 degree weather judging the puppy and amateur stakes in the field. Needless to say, I came home with a few sore muscles and bruises.Here is an article I wrote that may be of use to the show exhibitorThe best place to start training a young dog or puppy for show poise and confidence is at the fun matches and sanctioned shows. But, as a judge, I believe that there are certain procedures that should be taken care of at home. Basic leash breaking should have been started. Start the puppy slowly and for a few minutes at a time. Sometimes a little hamburger, cheese, liver or such for bait will coax the puppy to follow you. Watch the puppy rather than turning your back and pulling him along. When my puppy is getting ready to balk, I use the bait for a little encouragement before he really gets into the balk. After a few sessions, the puppy will follow pretty well.Take the puppy or young dog with you on short trips in your automobile to get him acquainted with a vehicle in motion. So many puppies brought into the ring have gotten motion sickness and have vomited all over themselves. Taking a sick puppy into the ring is not fair to the puppy or the judge. Now, after you have gotten your puppy leash broken and used to the movement of your car, take him in the house and let him walk on slick linoleum for a few minutes at a time each day so he wont be scared of slick flooring at the show. Stand the puppy up on a table and open his mouth so he will be used to having his teeth checked.If your puppy is in the age bracketwhere he is growing his second set of teeth, its a good idea to take the time to take him to a vet and have his puppy teeth pulled. After all, you want a good bite at maturity.Next, you should either bath your puppy a couple of days before show time if he needs it and has a doggy odor, or use talcum powder and sprinkle through the coat and brush out. This always leaves a clean smell and will suffice for a bath.Considering all the items we have just mentioned, put yourself in the place of a judge at one of these matches. You are faced with a puppy that wont lead, has vomit all over his coat and is terrified. He has not been cleaned and has urine and fecal matter stuck to his coat, plus a double set of teeth, so it is impossible to tell if he will mature with a good bite. How can you possibly judge this puppyYou really havent accomplished much to present this puppy as a future show prospect having all the qualities of a future champion. Youd be surprised the difference basic training at home can make in the evaluation of a loser to a winner.Results of the Whidbey Island KC Show on Nov. 18th are BOB Ch.

We met at the Luccass home and had a veterinarian as a speaker. Veterinarians appearing at dog club meetings are pretty routine and their talks on their selected subjects usually are, too. But this veterinarian didnt deliver his speech, take his bows and leave. He stayed for an entire evening of discussion on just about every subject imaginable, from problem whelpings to problem mammas and problem puppies to parvovirus to vitamins to cat temperaments It was really an enjoyable and educational evening. Afterwards we all had a tour of the Luccass expanded kennels and that was a treat in itself.Our Christmas meeting found us at the home of Mark and Carol Walsh for a combination party and fun match. We had a delicious ham buffet with so many trimmings it was impossible to manage a taste of everything but we sure tried The fun match, in addition to the usual classes, had a number of funny classes and provided a good time. Our judging was quite informal and allowed the opportunity for anyone present who wanted to try his hand at judging to do so. Anyone not entered in a class could put his name in a hat to judge that class. The Best Puppy in Match was Pomirish Sports Swedish Lady owned by Sally Baugniet and Elizabeth Spillman and the Best Adult was LuellsCarmel Corn of Duke owned by Mark and Carol Walsh.Our resident jet-setter, Sally Baugniet, provided us with many enjoyable pictures taken while she was in Bermuda for the shows there. We saw pictures of not only the dogs but breath-taking scenes of the ocean and greenery. It takes ten points, including one major, for a dog to become a champion in Bermuda. Sally pointed out that while the Bermuda shows are small the competition is tough as the majority of the dogs entered are already American and Canadian champions. Sally was able to come home with majors on Am. Can. Ch. Pomirish Bubbles Lil Squirt and her new cream champion, Pomirish Cr. Puffs Only Chance.Mark and Carol Walsh have a new champion, too, Ch. Luells Carmel Corn of Duke, their first, with hopefully many more to come.WINTER DANGERTo those readers who reside in the icier regions of the country please remember that rock salt, used to melt ice, is a chemical that can cause bums to the foot pads of your dog.

It does a gorgeous job of separating the hair and gives a lovely well-groomed look to the dog. But, with recent newspaper articles on the dangers of inhaling talc, Im beginning to come to the conclusion we all should recognize the probable danger in using it. The first article I came across, mentioned teenagers and glue sniffing, also stating the fact that they were breathing in aerosol containers and that some of these containers had talc which was poison to the lungs. This gave me pause to think, especially when at the same time I heard of a Pom dying of fluid-filled lungs. Could there be any connection So, in discussing this with another Pom breeder and asking her opinion, she told me of one of her Poms with pneumonia and another having lung congestion. She too is beginning to wonder if these conditions could be brought on by talc in the lungs. Then a few days later, my handler gave me a clipping from a newspaper, titled, Baby Powder Kills 2000 Infants a Year in the U.S. Some of the findings in this article are as follows. Talcum powder is good for babys skin, but that is all it is good for, is the opinion of Dr. Martin Keogh of the Department of Health. It is absolute poison to the babys internal organs. He personally believes over a quarter of a million infants have died from talcum powder and many millions more have had their life spans cut short before they really got a foothold in the world.Talcum in its most refined state is a mineral derivative of talc rock, heavily purified and ground to the finest powder. Everytime a container is used, a certain amount escapes into the air. Because it is light, a great amount can be in the air without being noticed. This talc is breathed in by the infant, slips into his lungs and lodges there. Everytime the talc is used, a new deposit is built up in the lungs, likesuccessive doses of poison. Then the time comes when the baby rolls over in the night, his head momentarily in pillow or sheet. Their lungs are weak and they cannot combat anything with those flabby lung muscles. So they die, apparently for no reason.In England, the British Medical Journal publishes a warning to Mothers on talcum powder. It says young children, age 1 to 2 years, spill a fairly large amount of powder. Some is inhaled. Within an hour, respiratory distress and signs of bronchitis develop. The Journal reported on five cases of talc poisoning. Three babies died within 10 to 20 hours, it said, and advises Mothers not to use it.There is much more in this article, but this alone is enough to make me throw away all my talc. When one thinks of how we brush the talc out of the coat into the air, one can see how much is being breathed in by both dog and ownerIn another newspaper article I have here, taken from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Oct. 5, 1969, Dr. Louise M. Gloeckner, new Vice President of American Medical Association, makes this remark during her discussion of spray can pollution of our homes. Even a substance as innocent looking as talcum powder could be harmful if inhaled often Since we cannot expect our dogs to hold their breath while using these products, as one article advises humans to do, one is beginning to wonder what effect all these breathed in pollutants will do to our dogs over a period of time. At present I have one older stud with a bronchial condition that he has had ever since he finished in the ring in 1961. Now I wonder if the talc used at that time long ago is the cause of this coughing he has had all these years, when the vets can find nothing wrong with him.NO KENNEL VISIT IN APRILOnce more the April Issue will be sent to all judges licensed for Poms. Lets make it a BIG ISSUE full of beautiful PICTURES and thoughtful articles.52 POMERANIAN REVIEWCANADIAN SCENECont. from Page 46no, each likes to be an adventurer, and strikes off in its own direction, until the area is honeycombed with funny trails, and every one is snowballs from head to toes. Then we go indoors by the fire and they relax by tearing around the rug.I hope you are having just as good a time on your spring day.REBEL REPORT Cont. from Page 48However, those few things that may have kept her from being a show type dog are also passed on to the offspring, and even though perhaps not visible in them, are waiting to crop up in some later breeding . . . hence that pup that turns up with some fault that neither of his parents manifests. I am still not willing to part with my less- than-show female that has good puppies, but if I were being truly realistic, that is what I should do. If everyone breeding show Pomeranians would do this, I am sure the quality would improve dramatically in a very short time, although there would certainly be fewer Pomeranians.Ill look forward to seeing you at the showsGREATER HOUSTONCont. from Page 55defense is a good offense. By this means he can keep the groups attention and disenchantment focused somewhere other than on himself. Cynicism is manifested by frequent challenging of the groups contract and goals, skeptical questioning of genuine behavior, and attacks on stronger, threatening members. He interferes with growth of the group.THE INTERROGATOR Used to keep other members on the defensive. Cross-examining others in the group under the guise of gaining helpful information and understanding may be fighting to keep the spotlight either ON himself, or in somecases, OFF and safely away from himself.THE PSEUDO LEADER Similar to behavior of the interrogator. He constantly tries to elaborate on comments and interpretations made by the leader. He is a real helper in his efforts to take over the leaders functions, but this is counterproductive.THE COALITIONIST A member who avoids deeper involvement in the group may pair up with one or more others sometimes to keep the focus away from themselves. Or, when conflict occurs, a few may subgroup together to get a little added strength to one position or idea.. . . Well, moving from a H-E-AV-Y psychological study right into my departure, goodbye to everyone.
