MAYES 1574 Camp Linden Road West Chester, PA 19380 215-793-1912I wonder if you can imagine the frustration experienced in waking up at 6 a.m. on Saturday, February 9th, unable to speak louder than a whisper Try conducting two Board Meetings and the Annual Members Meeting with laryngitis it isnt easyAside from this, our Specialty weekend in New York brought the usual excitement of a large entry of some of the countrys top Poms. The enjoyment of greeting old friends and meeting new ones, and a general feeling of satisfaction that the affairs of the American Pomeranian Club are being watched over and taken care of by a very competent group of members.Nadine Hersil proved to be a most efficient judge of Sweepstakes. Her eventual winner was a seven-month Blue male with such tremendous type and showmanship that he captured the hearts of the entire ringside. We would have given it to him if he had been green or purple, and we Were ready to lynch Nadine when she appeared to hesitate.Everyone knows how capably and how pleasantly Mrs. Billings always goes through her judging assignments. No entry was neglected, yet her decisions were made firmly and without delay. Best of Breed went to Ch. Lenniss Tar Lacy Foxfire, owned by Edward B. Jenner, handled by Susan Fisher.Following the picture taking, the Annual Meeting was called to order. I believe you will read a brief summary in the Secretarys column, graciously written by outgoing Secretary, Sue Goddard, in the absence of Secretary-Elect Dudley Roach.Some members requested a simplified break-down of the Annual Financial Report, saying they were not "accountants and could not understand it. Goldie agreed to provide a report in "laymans language andmembers will find the report inserted in this issue of the Review. The regular, itemized Financial Report will come to you in the Annual Report and Membership Roster. PI ease read it carefully and try to understand it. This is the report mandated by our By-Laws. The simplified version represents a great deal of extra work for our Treasurer, and there really doesnt seem to be a need for it if members will just try to understand the regular report.Our Specialty this year was dedicated to the memory of Mr. Joseph Faigel. We were honored to have Mrs. Faigel as a spectator at our show and as a guest at the Banquet Sunday night.I received my February issue of the Review just in time to take it with me to New York and to pass it around the table at the Saturday Board Meeting where it was greeted with cheers and universal approval. Thank you, Roberta, for your dedication and perseverance in visiting nineteen different printers until you could find the best one within our budget, and in "learning-by- doing as you put together your extremely good first issue. All this before, during and after the Christmas and New Year holidays.Remember If you want the Club to thrive, support it.MIDWEST COLUMNISTWe are pleased to welcome Sally Baugniet as the new columnist for the Midwest Report. Midwesterners may send news of top wins Group and BIS to Sally, as well as items of general interest or suggested topics you would like to see discussed in her column.NOTICEYou are welcome to re-use halftones from the previous issues at no additional charge but when you re-use them they must be the same size as they appeared in your original ad.

Bristol, VA 24201As Dudley Roach did not attend the meetings held on February 9 just prior to the Specialty or immediately following the judging February 10, I will try to capsulize the agenda. The Board met on February 10 at the Loews-Summit Hotel at 200 p.m. and was attended by a quorum. The Board gave a vote of confidence to Roberta Massey as the editor of the Pomeranian Review. They selected four names to be mailed out to the membership for a vote on the judge of the 1982 Specialty, and four for a vote as Sweepstakes judge for 1981. The Board again appointed Fred Bassett as Show Chairman for 1981. The meeting adjourned and the committee to count the votes for the contested Board of Directors met to tally the results immediately following the adjournment.On February 11 the Annual Meeting was held. Sophie Mayes, President, asked that Sue Goddard read the Presidents Report to the membership, as she had severe laryngitis. Members from the floor asked that the Treasurer submit an easily read and understood statement of expenses to the general membership, which Goldie agreed to include in the Annual Report to be mailed to the membership. Goldie gave her Treasurers Report and the Show Chairman gave his report and thanks to his committees. The results of the raffle for a box of "cheer were announced. Some discussion of the decision on the Review editor was held. The Annual Meeting adjourned and the new Board of Directors met immediately afterwards.Several new members were voted into the organization and we will welcome them soon. I have turned over all materials and do not have that list. Mrs. Olga Baker was appointed to write the Gazette column forthe coming year. Discussion was held on Life Memberships and Mrs. Goldie Mandley will check her records for those who are eligible. Life Membership is an honor awarded to members who have twenty continuous years or more in the Club and by their service to the Club and to the betterment of Pomeranians. The amount to charge on entries was discussed and it was voted that a break be given to puppy entries for the 1981 Specialty in hopes of getting additional entries.Forgive me for not providing more detail, but I do not have the minutes and am writing solely from a very mediocre memory. Again let me thank you for allowing me to serve as Corresponding Secretary for the past year and one-half, and congratulations to all the new officers and Board members.ELECTION RESULTSOfficers for the coming yearPresident......................Mrs. Sophie H.

Pomirish Cr. Puff s Only Chance had a very lucky beginning. His dam, Ch. Pomirish Cream Puff, was bred to Pomirish Tig- gers Huny Bear N. Little did we realize this was to be her first and last litter. She had a problem whelping, so we took her in for a section on Jan. 13, 1979. The veterinarian had the puppies delivered I tended to the two puppies while he finished the section. She was all sewn up when her breathing and heart stopped. All attempts to revive her failed.Chance and his sister, Carry On, were accepted by Ch. Pomirish Candy Cane, whose pup lived for only a few hours and had died almost a week before. Luckily her milk came in. I bottle fed the pups for 2-3 days until Candy could take over completeyWhata loss we suffered when we lost Chances dam In the short period of two months, by the time he was 10 months old, Chance was an American champion with a Specialty Best of Winners for 5 points, two 4 point majors, a 3 point major and a Group Fourth. He had 5 Canadian points, two Group Fourths and a 3 point Bermudan major with 3 major Reserves over American- Canadian champions. He also went Best Puppy in Group twice and Best Puppy in Show in Bermuda All breeder-owner handled.What a fantastic beginning for this beautiful Cream puppy whom we were lucky to have survive.A special thanks to the judges who recognized his great qualities in the U.S., Canada and Bermuda in 1979 Bonnie Brookins, Martha Jane Ablett, Alfred Treen, James Trullinger, Anne Clark, Edna Joel, John Devlin Jr., Langdon Skarda and Mrs. Dan- iell-Jenkins.Ch. Chance was one of five Pomeranian champions to finish from Pomirish Kennels in 1979. The others are Ch. Pomirish LiT Guy, Ch. Pomirish Ima Spit N Image, Ch. Pomirish Bubbles Lil Sprite and Ch. Pomirish Cherry-Filled. All except Cherry were breeder-owner handled. Cherry was handled by co-owner Joanne Dinsmore.In addition to the five 1979 American champions, we had Ch. Pomirish Bubbles Lil Squirt win a Specialty Best of Breed, 3 Group Firsts, 2 Group Seconds, 1 Group Third, 2 Group Fourths and 15 Best of Breeds.Ch. Squirt finished his Canadian title with 3 Group Firsts and a Best in Show. He also has a Bermudan 3 point major. These were awarded by Judges Edd Bivin and Nigel Aubrey-Jones, in addition to some of those mentioned above. Five Norwich Terriers also finished for us in 1979-Ch. Pomirish Beau Brummel was in the top 10 Norwich for 1979. Two Pomirish Poms were in the top 10 Pomeranians for 1979 Phillips System, Ch.

As in the past five mars, this year represents a lot of hard vork and true professionalism in making everything run so smoothly.The show was again held at the Loews- summit Hotel but in a newly decorated room, which added to the pleasure of the show. With a total entry of 137, it promised to be exciting and it was. If you missed the show, you missed seeing the cream of the crop, of all ages and from all parts of the country. Of course, it is always a pleasure to get to see everyone and visit with them md this year was no exception. I did not get into New York until the day of the show, but everyone seemed to have enjoyed the Hospitality Room the evening before. I believe that some were still paying for the fun the next morning.The Puppy Sweepstakes is always one of my favorites and this year the puppies were outstanding. Coat, animation and just being puppy was a treat to watch. Our Sweeps judge, Nadine Hersil of Cudahy, Wis., had her job cut out for her with an entry of 34 puppies. I did not envy her role, but she certainly seemed to enjoy it and did a great job, which was proven by the applause when she selected from the 6-9 month Puppy Dog class her Best of Sweeps, Camelots Serendipity, bred and owned by Gertrude Jacoby. This beautiful blue youngster never let down throughout the judging and just seemed to sense that he was special. Best of Opposite Sex in Sweepstakes went to Pen- rus Petite Suite of Jabil, bred by Jessie and Barbara Young and owned by Rosalind Goltz. This was a lovely puppy from the 6-9 month Puppy Bitch class. Another true performer and a very popular win. Watching the puppies makes you think of a wind-up toy and you wonder how they get the spring so tight.After Sweeps, our Breed judge, Michele Billings of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., began her task of judging an entry of 102. Not an easyjob, what with the dogs groomed to perfection, well ring-trained and each showing for recognition.Judge Nadine Hersil presents Best in Sweepstakes to the blue puppy, Camelots Serendipity, handled by breeder-owner Gertrude Jacoby.

A beautiful bitch and again a joy to watch in the ring.

Among this eighteen were some top winners from all over the country. After careful consideration Mrs. Billings narrowed the field down for closer consideration and finally chose Ch. Lenniss Tar Lacy Foxfire as her Best of Breed. Lacy was bred by Wanda Paxton and shown by Susan Fisher for his owner, Edward Jenner. He was the model of perfection and grooming, never letting up and a real trooper in the ring. This was the third Specialty win for Mr. Jenner, who had3 \Judge Michele Billings presents Best of Breed to Ch. Lenniss Tar Lacy Foxfire, handled by Susan Fisher for owner EdwardB.

Millamors Marketta and twice with Lacy, and so retired Sam Za- neoff s Ch. Sheebas Little Dragonfly Memorial Trophy.All in all it was quite a day and some of the memories of this day will stay with the owners and breeders for a long time.Both our judges deserve a big round of applause and thanks for a job well done. Both judges were very knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to watch them carefully but gently go over each dog.As always thanks and appreciation must be given to the people who do so much to see that everything happens as it should. But before thanking them, a SPECIAL thanks must be given to the exhibitors, breeders and spectators who make it all possible. Thanks to all of you without you, we would have nothing.Our Show Chairman, Fred Bassett, has agreed to handle the show again next year, making three years in a row. We all owe him thanks for doing his job so well. This year our Trophy Table was handled by Jessie and Barbara Young, who always do an excellent job, no matter what the task. It goes to show that with thought and interest you have a beautiful trophy table. Advertis12 POMERANIAN REVIEWing, which goes a long way to help defray expenses, was handled by Tony Short and looking through the Catalog proves that he did an excellent job. The keeping of the Gate and Catalog Sales fell to Lois Kraemer and Diane Taylor, who saw to it that everyone paid and we had no free-loaders The Hospitality Room and Annual Dinner was hosted by Sam Zaneoff and although I did not get to attend the Annual Dinner, I understand that it was well received and was enjoyed by all.Each year the show provides new people to meet and talk with, plus getting to see your old friends. Each year it gets larger, so start your plans to attend in 1981. For those of you who did not come this year because of possible bad weather, you missed a treat it was like a spring day and no snow. Hope to see you next year.SHOW CHAIRMANS COMMENTSFred BassettByThe sixty-first Annual Specialty of the American Pomeranian Club was held on Sunday, February 10th, 1980, at the Loews- Summit Hotel in New York City. The quality of the dogs this year was high and the dogs were in super condition. The weather man cooperated and provided mild, clear days, so no one had trouble making it to New York. Exhibitors and spectators this year came from all parts of the country and enjoyed the show and Hospitality Room.The A.P.C. Board of Directors hosted a Hospitality Room which was well attended. Those of you who couldnt be there missed out on Julie Brumbacks homemade fudge and Sally Baugniets Wisconsin sausage and cheeses, plus all of the other snacks and beverages. We hope to see you all there next year when we do it againId like to take this opportunity to thank my Show Committee for all their hard work this year in putting on the show. Tony Short, Lois Kraemer, Diane Taylor, Sam Zaneoff, and Jessie and Barbara Young all worked very hard to make sure we had a successful Specialty. I would also like to thank all of the members and friends of theAmerican Pomeranian Club who supported the show with their entries and donations.It is not too early to begin thinking about next year Start yourself a special A.P.C.

BillingsThe site for the American Pomeranian Clubs Specialty Show seems to be a popular location for the Specialties, as in addition to judging Pomeranians I was able to catch a glimpse of Boston Terriers and Pugs.I am not going to comment on each individual winner but simply state that the overall quality was substantially above that of the various Breed specialties that I have judged during the past two years. Every class winner and in at least three instances the second place winner will no doubt complete their championships within the year if they are shown.It seems to me that every specialty show is a case of good news and bad news. The good news in this instance was the almost total absence of "drape coats. However, onthe debit side, still far too many slipped pa- tellas. Bites, with only three or four exceptions, were good, and overall temperaments were excellent.The Specials class was a glorious sight to behold in that there were at least six entrants, including the Veteran Dog and in addition to the Winners Dog and Winners Bitch, that any judge would be happy to have on many occasions for Group placements or better. This certainly speaks well for the breed and especially tbe breeders.This was the first time in many years that "The Garden was blessed with good weather cold, but no snow or worse yet blizzards.I thoroughly enjoyed my assignment and only hope that everyone had as much fun as I did.SWEEPSTAKES CRITIQUENadine HersilByUpon being asked to write this critique I thought to myself, how can one describe an honor such as this How can one describe the thrill of seeing all those little Pom babies in the ring and not just stand there aghast in wonderment After having a very bad Holiday season at my house losing a number of puppies, the joy of those healthy and for the most part happy puppies in the ring renewed for me the spirit of this marvelous little breed of ours. The Sweepstakes at any national specialty can only be considered as the "showcase of the breeders and the future of our future From what was exhibited at this show, the future of our breed is indeed worth all the effort and the time and tears that are necessary to keep on going in such a tender, tiny breed.Having been raised in a German Shepherd family, I was taught that a dog must move properly before even being considered a show dog. A dog that is structurally sound will move soundly and vice-versa which, by the way, to my complete and utter dismay, is not always true. Proper lay-back of the shoulder and proper angulation of the hindquarters all go toward the making of a top contender. As you can see, movement andstructure are my primary criteria, with head, coat and substance also factors. Let it be known that this is MY criteria and each judge has his or her own list of pros and cons. My placements were as follows Puppy Dogs 6-9 months1. Camelots Serendipity, bred and owned by Gertrude Jacoby. Movement and style outshone all the others and was by far the favorite of the audience. This little boy stole my heart away even though at this point the color of his coat which will mature to a Blue was at an awkward stage. The showmanship of this little man would not stop and he dared anybody to come and take him on.2. Jeribeths Ivan Ideal, bred and owned by Olga and Darrell Baker.3.

The pig- aentation around the eyes, lips, and on the lose must be black, except self-colored in irown and blue.TEETH The teeth meet in a scissors lite, in which part of the inner surface of he upper teeth meets and engages part of he outer surface of the lower teeth. One ooth out of line does not mean an under- hot or overshot mouth.EYES Bright, dark in color, and medi- lm in size, almond shaped and not set wide ipart nor too close together.EARS Small, carried erect and mounted ligh on the head, and placed not too far ipart.NECK AND SHOULDERS The neck is rather short, its base set well back on the shoulders.

The body is cobby, being well ribbed and rounded. The brisket is fairly deep and not too wide.LEGS The forelegs are straight and parallel, of medium length in proportion to a well balanced frame. The hocks are perpendicular to the ground, parallel to each other from hock to heel, and turning neither in nor out. The Pomeranian stands well up on toes.TAIL The tail is characteristic of the breed. It turns over the back and is carried flat set high. It is profusely covered with hair.COAT Double-coated a short, soft, thick undercoat, with longer, coarse glistening outercoat consisting of guard hairs which must be harsh to the touch in order to give the proper texture for the coat to form a frill of profuse, standing-off straight hair. The front legs are well feathered and the hindquarters are clad with long hair or feathering from the top of the rump to the hocks.COLOR Acceptable colors to be judged on an equal basis any solid color, any solid color with lighter or darker shadings of the same color, any solid color with sable or black shadings, parti-color, sable, or black and tan. Black and tan is black with tan or rust, sharply defined, appearing above each eye and on muzzle, throat and forechest, on all legs and feet and below the tail. Parti- color is white with any other color distributed in even patches on the body and a white blaze on head.MOVEMENT The Pomeranian moves with a smooth, free, but not loose action. He does not elbow out in front nor move excessively wide nor cow-hocked behind. He is sound in action.SIZE The weight of a Pomeranian for exhibition is 3 to 7 pounds. The ideal size for show specimens is from 4 to 5 pounds.TRIMMING AND DEWCLAWSTrimming for neatness is permissible around the feet and up the back of the legs to the first joint trimming of unruly hairs on the edges of the ears and around the anus is also permitted.

Hairspray is being used not only to hold coat in place after being shaped and sculptured, but also to make the coat appear and feel "coarse...harsh to the touch- ...profuse, standing-off straight hair.The breed Standard section on "Trimming Dewclaws clearly states "Trimming for neatness is permissible around the feet and up the back of the legs to the first joint trimming of unruly hairs on the edges of the ears and around the anus is also permitted.When the present breed Standard was drawn up and approved in March, 1971, it was not felt necessary to specifically state that trimming in excess of that noted above constituted a violation and was to be penalized as such. However, the fastgrowing practice of such excessive trimming as that described above, and the use of holding and stiffening hairspray, if not stopped now may become such a common abuse that only the insertion of a directive in the breed Standard that the presence of either condition shall constitute a disqualification will put a halt to it.The Pomeranian is, and should appear to be, a "natural dog. Any alteration of its natural appearance beyond that permitted in the breed Standard must be penalized in accordance with the degree to which such unpermitted alteration has been practiced, up to and including disqualification of the dog under Chapter 16, section 9, of the AKC "Rules Applying to Registration and Dog Shows which states that a dog "...which has been changed in appearance by artificial means except as stated in the Standard for its breed...will be disqualified.The American Pomeranian Club considers excessive trimming to be ANY scissoring, thinning, shaping, clipping, tipping or sculpturing of the coat beyond that expressly permitted in the breed Standard. The American Pomeranian Club considers the use of hairspray, "lacquer or any other agent applied to the coat which tends to hold or stiffen the hair, or which alters the natural texture or appearance of the hair, as a direct violation of Chapter 16, section 9, of the AKC "Rules Applying to Registration and Dog Shows and to be penalized accordingly.The American Pomeranian Club has attempted previously to make its position on these two practices known and heeded through its own publication, Pomeranian Review, and by notice to each licensed Pomeranian judge in the past. Through publication of this statement in the AKC Gazette, the American Pomeranian Club is grateful for the opportunity to reach an even wider segment of the Pomeranian fancy.The Officers and Directors of the AMERICAN POMERANIAN CLUB, INC.POMERANIAN REVIEW 25POMIRISH KENNELSPomeraniansPomirish Candys Tuffy AppleCh.

B Mishicot, WI 54228"Size The weight of a Pomeranian for exhibition is 3 to 7 pounds. The IDEAL SIZE for SHOW SPECIMENS is from 4 to 5 pounds.The above is a direct quote taken from the American Pomeranian Club, Inc. Revised Standard For Pomeranians, approved March 9, 1971.I have seen the thoughts of some judges through examples of their judging. "But after all, this is a Toy breed. Those 3 pounders are so cuteThe tiny ones are indeed cute. The Poms that are put up should be ones that can do SOMETHING to better the breed. Can a 3 lb. bitch better the breed How can she she cant even be bred She is too small to risk carrying a litter.Are some judges pushing us breeders-ex- hibitors toward the tiny-deformed-unbreeda- ble sized Pomeranian What do we have a tendency to show The Pom that wins, not the one that loses. If we have too many judges putting up the tinies, what happens to our "preferred size.A 5-lb. Pom preferred size with huge coat gives the illusion of a much larger dog to those people not experienced in that area. One judge sitting ringside who has never put one of my Poms up said to me after I came from the ring, "Now thats what I like. I told this person that the bitch was very nice, but she was on the low end of the size that I would consider using for breeding. She was 4 lbs. This judge thought she was 5 lbs. I would have been much happier if she were a 5 lb. bitch. I will breed her when she is finished and will anticipate a possible C. section. I kept her only to carry on her bloodlines after losing her young sire.I see very few judges that will put up agood 5 lb. bitch, let alone a good 5 lb. dog. Yet our Standard states 5 lbs. as preferred size Three pounders go up often. How often have you seen a 6 lb. Pom go up A 6 lb. dog is just one pound over rather than under the 4-5 lb. preferred sizeWhat can we do about the whole situation Educate the judges show your good breedable-sized Poms. Be stubborn enough not to bow to those who would push our Poms into more problems and Oblivion. If you cant or wont do this, change the Standard.The Standard is already lopsided on weight. Either change the preferred weight to 5-6 lbs., with the weight for exhibition one pound above and below that preferred weight, or knock off the 7 lbs. on the present Standard and make it 6 lbs.Then show the judges what a 6 lb. Pom looks like Many already think a 3 lb. Pom is 4 lbs.PARKS POMERANIANSHi, Im back, although I didnt completely quit.I only have a select few.Mostly rare colors including Particolor and black tan and pure white.Inquiried Invited.Please send SASEFern Parks Gorrins26107,126 Ave. E.Graham, Wa. 98338 206 893-3297I also raise English Angoras, Minilops Harlequin Rabbits.THE JULY COVER IS AVAILABLEPOMERANIAN REVIEW 2'JUDGES VIEW THE POMERANIANWhat does a judge look for when he is judging the Pomeranian Here are some answers ti that question by a few well-known judges, as well as comments on the state of our breed a seen by some of them.MRS. DOROTHY BONNERReprinted from. Oct. 1972As A Pomeranian Fancier since my first one in 1928, a many-years breeder and a now-judge, the following are some of the highlights which impress me in the show ring. The "perfect Pom appears to be as long as he is tall as he is wide, presenting a square or round outline, with a profuse, stand-off coat of outward crispy texture. To me, a good coat is important, preference being given to a sturdy specimen with enough size to benefit the breed, legs sound and straight front and rear, these being not too short and not too long. It is necessary that he carry himself proudly and confidently, with chest forward, head well back, with ample plume of a high-set tail lying flat on his short back. Color is immaterial. If your young hopeful has no major faults and fits this description, he should eventually be a Best-in-Show winner.MR. CHARLES HAMILTONWhen I judge Poms, I look for a Pom that adheres to the Standard. One that has a well proportioned body with a foxlike expression not too heavy in bone and on the other hand not too fine in bone. One in good coat, and of course showmanship helps.I could write the Standard word for word, but I think when a judge sees a Pom in the ring that exemplifies a fine specimen, he should be able to recognize it.The overall quality of the Poms has improved greatly. It is gratifying to see the Pom taking its place as a top contender in the Toy Group.MR. KEN MILLERJudging Poms is always a challenge and every time I walk in the ring, Im hoping to see that almost perfect Pom. Ive had theprivilege to judge many outstanding ones and can appreciate the time and effort pul forth to produce the really good ones. Ir judging Poms I look for balance, type anc style, in that order. There are various types in the Pom ring, as there are in many othei breeds, but I can accept the variation ir type if the dog has balance, meaning that al most everything is in proportion for a par ticular dog. I try to be positive in my judg ing and always look for the virtues that dog may have. Almost every Pom has SOME of the qualities that make an out standing dog its the one with the mosi qualities that I am interested in. Everyone interprets the Standard in a different way "Fox-like expression to some is interpretec to mean that the Pom head should resemble that of a fox. In my opinion the Standarc refers only to the expression, which shoule be keen, alert and intelligent. Coat is an im portant factor to me in judging. I have nev er seen a Pom with what I considered toe much coat. An unbalanced dog which is long in back or low on leg may appear tc have excessive coat, but to me the abundan coat was not a fault but probably one of the few virtues that the dog had. The Pom is companion dog and as such has no particu lar purpose which would make a profuse coat an undesirable trait.Soundness is a problem in many breeds today and the Pom is no exception. To me balanced dog with the type and style I fee are correct should also be complementec with some degree of soundness. Movemen in the Pom ring is not as important to me as it would be in many other breeds but its great to see a beautiful dog that also has the proper movement.MISS ANNA KATHERINE NICHOLASWhat do I look for when judging a Pon eranian A short back with high tailset cai ried flat on the back. The typical Pom ej0 POMERANIAN REVIEWpression, foxy and alert with small, well placed ears, oblique eyes, and fine muzzle. The desirable double coat, correctly coloured sables and nice clear shades in the others. A compact, stylish little dog, full of confidence, that moves true front and rear.I think that the Pomeranian breed has never been in better shape than it has the past couple of years and is right now. The breeders are really outdoing themselves in producing typey, sound moving, handsomely-coated dogs of proper size, and they must take great satisfaction in the number of Poms being rewarded with Group and Best in Show wins. It is an exciting period for the breed, indeed.MRS. ANN STEVENSONThis foxy little dog with the sparkling eye, bouncy carriage, neat ears and fine, hard bone must also have both elegance and a sound cobby body as well. He needs the correct jacket, rather than abundance of hair. His overall balance requires his furnishings to fit the body, not just a body to carry a mass of coat. Structurally correct, he will move with vigor and strength. "Brilliant is a term that suits him well.MR. TOM STEVENSONThe Pomeranian has been miniaturized from the same Nordic stock that still hunts, works and guards. With his size reduction, balance has not been lost. No part is out of proportion with the whole. He is not over- boned, as would be a dwarf, in the process of miniaturization. He is not over-coated as a gambit for attention in the show ring. With the charm and daintiness of the toy dog, he remains as sound and alert as his working cousins.MR. GUS WOLFI look first for type and then structure and soundness. By gaiting the dogs and going over them, you discover their faults. Balance is also of top importance. I then evaluate the dog on its merits and judge the whole dog.Recently the quality of Poms I have seen has been much higher.CH. RANDYS JOLLY WEE PEPPIIn the world of dogs, relatively few are able to claim the distinction of being truly great or outstanding.The Pom world has suffered the loss of one such "superstar, Ch. Randys Jolly Wee Peppi, who has died at the age of nine years.During his show career of only eighteen months as a Special, Peppi with his handler Houston Clark amassed an enviable record of 120 Best of Breed wins, 102 Group placements, including 45 Group Firsts, 33 Group Seconds, 14 Group Thirds, 10 Group Fourths, and 16 Bests-in-Show. He was the second Top Toy Dog in 1973 and became the Top Toy in 1974.After his retirement from the ring Peppi also distinguished himself as a top stud and has been the Top Pomeranian Stud Dog for two years in a row. With a total of 18 champion get to his credit to date, his children are continuing to win high honors in the ring.Peppis death will mark a loss for the entire breed noted breeder Mrs. E.L. Tan- kesley pronounced his death as "the end of a dynasty.We extend our sympathy to Paul and Randy Freeh on the loss of CH.

The Review is pleased to award this sample Stud Card to Ch. Randys Jolly Wee Peppi, sire of 5 champions in 1979.It is a well-known adage that in seeking a stud for ones broods the surest road to success comes from selecting a stud which is from an excellent family of winning and producing dogs, which is an outstanding example of the breed himself arid which has sired a number of winning progeny. There are many such Poms in this country of ours, and it should always be remembered that a study of the pedigree is of highest value in picking the most suitable stud for each particular female. It is foolish to select a stud dog ONLY on the basis of his show wins or because he is conveniently located next door.Cost of entering your dog in the Stud Dog Register is 9.50 for the first entry, plus the cost of the halftone if you do not have one the proper size, and 8.00 plus cost of halftone for second and each subsequent entry of the same owner. Also, dogs may be entered without photos, if none are available, and a description of the dog may be inserted in the space intended for the photograph. Halftones used must be no larger than 2 square, and new ones from your glossy print will cost 6. Description beneath cut is limited to twenty words.Because of the work involved in looking up old halftones, typing pedigrees, etc., we ask your cooperation in sending your copy as early as possible. Please mention the back issue in which your halftone was used, if we have one on file. Glossies will be returned.ABSOLUTE DEADLINE May 15thCh.

Several dogs nurse puppies on bare, dung-encrusted wire. It is midday and water bowls are empty and flaked with tiny shards of rust."Its true, this place is pretty dirty, Mr. Moyer says with a sigh after a compliance officer from the U.S. Department of Agriculture has cited him for 11 violations of the Federal Animal Welfare Act. "Ive neglected things.In such "puppy mills, as the federal inspectors call them, 360,000 puppies are raised each year for eventual sale in pet stores around the country. Some of these kennels are perfectly respectable, but in many others neglect is common. Now, after years of their own negligence, Agriculture Department officials are beginning to crack down on the industry. Here in south-central Iowa, you can see they have a long way to gAlot is riding on their success. Puppies fetch about 75 each from a local broker, who boxes and ships them to pet stores for about 100 a dog. The puppy can then cost a New Jersey shopper as much as 450.But the cost can go even higher when the dogs turn out to have distemper, mange or other diseases often acquired in packed, unsanitary cages. Its like a giant chain, with breeders, brokers, veterinarians and pet shop owners, says David Bromwell, chief veterinarian for the Bureau of Animal Welfare of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. "If any link of that chain is weak, you arent going to get a healthy puppy.Too often, that weak link is the so-called puppy mill.About 25 of the 3,500 federally licensed kennels are unhealthy, the U.S. Agriculture Department figures. It estimates that 1,600 other places dodge the inspectors altogether by selling their puppies healthy, or not,without a license. None of these establisl ments should be confused with your friem ly retail kennel, which breeds fewer dog sells them directly to the consumer an doesnt fall under the jurisdiction of tl Department of Agriculture.Most of the "mills are in the Midwes where barns, pigpens and other buildings ai easily converted into kennels. Farmers ofte switch from raising chickens to raising dog a crop that doesnt take a lot of expensh equipment or land to turn a profit."I can go any direction in Iowa and find problem, says George Schoel, supervisor c the states Animal Welfare Divisior "Somebody ought to see it. The publi doesnt realize whats going on.The U.S. Department of Agriculture ha seen it for years but has been hindered b lethargy and a lack of manpower. "This ha been a neglected program-theres no use 1 ing about it, says Mark Westrich, the con pliance officer who inspected Mr. Moyer farm. "The inspections that need to be don in this area just arent getting done. We juf dont have the people.Now, he says, after years of mounting cr ticism-from the pet industry, humane as sociations and consumers - things are star ing to turn around. Within the past yeai the agency has hired a raft of new inspector and marshaled a national training prograr to remedy its past mistakes. "Weve beei messing around for years, Mr. Westricl says, "but things are changing now.Still, some people remain skeptical. "Yoi have to fight a great deal of apathy, say Marc Paulhus, field investigator for th Humane Society of the United States "Animal welfare has always been an imposi tion for the Agriculture Department.Illinois Dr. Bromwell adds that thi departments inspectors "are used to seeing a lot of dung lying around in livestock feed lots and when they see it in a kennel, the say, "What the heck, somebody will clean i up later.The departments chief dog official, Dr Dale Schwindaman, agrees. "Many of ou local inspectors dont see anything wron with raising dogs in poor conditions, hPOMERANIAN REVIEWys, "but thats changing. We are weeding em out.Exacerbating the problem, Dr. Schwin- man adds, are foggy regulations. "But jm now on, he promises, "when a deci- n is to be made, its to be made on the Je of the dog.Still, even when the department does act, at doesnt necessarily mean much. In 75, at a mill near Cincinnati, Iowa, the ency uncovered 17 violations of the nimal Welfare Act, including "manure and ash, dogs "staked outside without protec- on, and dirty water pans. Recently, on a turn trip, inspectors discovered the same olations, yet the mill remains federally sensed."We have to go through the legal process i suspend a license, and that can be strung ut for years, Mr. Schwindaman explains. Unfortunately, the dogs continue to suffer hile we go through the process.Among the respectable establishments is 7olf Point Kennels near Ackworth, Iowa, i the rolling farm country just south of Des loines. The owners, Clint Hays and Car- lyn Graham, have spent about 80,000 on hat look like five swank, low-slung chicken oops. Jutting from the building are long ows of wire cages that house more than 100 ilkv Terriers, Miniature Schnauzers, Lhasa Lpsos and other small dogs that will produce bout 400 puppies each year. The cages are coured each day water trickles automa- ically into shining green bowls the build- ags are cooled with fans in the summer."Its unusual to find a kennel like ours, Irs. Graham says. "Most of them around iere are pretty dirty.At the other end of the chain, such pet tore owners as Craig Allen are working to nsure that the puppies they get are healthy. 4r. Allen, who runs Dog Patch Pet Center n Naperville, 111., visits his St. Louis broker very three months, "just to keep an eye on .ny problems that might come up.

Box 717 League City, Texas 77573Four dog-related items have caught my at- ntion since I talked with you last. 1 here seems to be a danger of disease in our onderful mammoth shows. 2 Some expe- enced breeders and exhibitors seem to en- iy giving novices the idea that exhibiting r breeding is too complex for them to arn. 3 I had a chance to begin to test a teory. 4 Some healthy litters need early upplementing.The last few show seasons have seen the se of mammoth shows in many areas of ur country. These shows are wonderful, hey draw huge entries and allow lovely uildings to be affordable. Majors can be Dund in them for almost every breed. Dogs, andlers and breeders from all parts of the ountry may meet, compete, and learn from ach other. All of these are great assets to ur sport however, there is also an inher- nt danger in such a gathering. Any gather- ng of living creatures is also a gathering of arious diseases. Problems which are well mown in one area may move into another rea where there is little resistance to them nd where they may not be readily recog- tized. Particular danger seems to come rom some of the new constantly mutating druses, which can be fatal if not quickly ecognized and promptly and properly treat- d. I do not for one moment suggest that ve do not take advantage of these wonderful ihows however, I do suggest that at such atherings we be particularly careful and dean. Of course the dogs who have attend- d such a show should be watched, but also watch young puppies at home. If any one of them shows a slight problem, be alert to it. A disease new to an area does not have a common set of immunities against it and can move very rapidly. This is particularly true in puppies who do not have an adult set of immunities.Last month and once again this month I have been distressed by people who called on me for help. Actually the people did not distress me, but what had happened to them did. Both of them had called upon the samewell-known breeder for help. In one case the aid was offered by the breeder, but she did it for the novices and told them that she could tell what they wanted to know, but they could not. This novice remarked, "I am a college graduate. I have learned other things. I am certain I can learn this if someone will help me. In the other case a couple with a pet Pom wanted to learn about "show dogs and showing. Well, Known Breeder told them that it was too complicated to explainYes, there is much to learn about breeding and showing we are all continually learning, but how did we begin Someone took the time to explain a little to us and showed us where to go for answers. Yes, many novices will never become "dog people but that cannot be judged at the start. In my opinion, it is inexcusable to tell a person that what I know you cannot learn It is much more valuable to teach a novice and then have a friend and a co-worker than it is to do something for a novice and then have a follower. Of course the former system develops independent persons who think for themselves and may disagree with their onetime mentor, while the latter system develops nice little "yes men who praise their leader and do not rock the boat. Perhaps my profession is showing too strongly here, but in my opinion it is through education that new ideas are developed and through new ideas that progress is made. A word to those of you trying new ideas. Expect many failures for every success. The failures make the success very sweet.Years ago when I first began breeding, I was convinced by others dogs that good mothers usually produced daughters who in their turn were good mothers. Of course this reminds us of the old argument of whether heredity or environment controls a dogs actions. For a while I was fortunate and all my bitches were good mothers. I did, however, notice that closely related bitches often cared for puppies in a similar manner. Some were loving, some playful, some effiPOMERANIAN REVIEWcient but cool, etc. Then the bomb fell. I bought a bitch who, when she whelped, totally ignored her puppies. Fortunately Lin had a good mother who had whelped two days earlier. When she heard the new puppies, she begged for them. I gave the two new little girls to her, and she raised them with her two boys. I kept one of the bitch puppies. As she grew I tended to forget who her biological mother was for she acted very much like her foster mother. From puppy- hood to present, she has maintained a love affair with life. While her father and mother are sweet dogs, neither they nor any of their parents and only one of their grandparents display the total self-confidence as does this girl and her foster mother.All of her life I wondered if my girl would care for her puppies as did her biological mother or her foster mother. The fathers mother and grandmother were extremely loving mothers, but they needed directions as to the care of puppies. They were good mothers, but they were never the dominant "You certainly are nosy sortof mothers. Well, my girl whelped fiv weeks ago. It could have been a replay c her foster mothers whelpings. She was eff ciency itself. I had to really be on my toe to be in on the action. She gave the impres sion that she was humoring me. She raise her baby in the same calm, happy way tha she had been raised.Personally, I do not see how an infar can be so imprinted. Obviously one cas does not prove anything, but I thought yo might find it interesting. I would be intei ested to hear if any of you have had experi ences in similar circumstances.Before I leave, I would like to commen on supplementing puppies. Each litter is dil ferent. Do not cause trouble by trying t treat each of them the same. Usually I offe my puppies baby food bitches milk r placement, baby meat and cereal at thre weeks. Some eat at three weeks. Some d not eat until five or six weeks. If the pup pies and the mother all look good, I let then decide. However, some babies need foo sooner.ANWINS KENNELAnwins Kennel Expresses Deep Sympathy to MR.

MosierExcerpted from Norden News, Fall 1979,y permission of the author. Explanatory re- narks by the Editor appear in italics.A comparison of actual birth weight with he expected normal birth weight for a given jreed provides the most fundamental infor- nation about the adequacy of a bitchs diet, deal thy puppies should be about the aver- ige weight for their breed. For example, Pomeranians should weigh about 120 to 140 rams about 3.85-4.5 ozs., Cocker Spaniels ibout 280 grams, German Shepherds about 100 grams, and Great Danes about 1 pound [o 1 Vt pounds. Puppies which weigh less shan the average birth weight for their areed are generally inadequately nourished. The reduced weight usually indicates a lack Df sufficient calories for normal growth and strength. The bitch may be undernourished, fed too much fat, too much carbohydrate, or an inadequate quantity or quality of protein. The result is a decrease in the weight of the liver, spleen, and muscle tissue as compared with that of puppies born of bitches given adequate protein and nutrition.The effectiveness of labor may indicate the adequacy of nutrition particularly in situations where the bitch whelps 3 or 4 puppies and retains 1 or 2 others. An imbalance in the calcium-phosphorus-zinc ratios may be responsible.During pregnancy a normal bitch should show an immediate post parturient weight gain between 5 and 10 percent over the pre- breeding maintenance weight. Should a bitch start to lose weight about 4 weeks into the gestation period, one can usually assume that she is either sick or inadequately nourished and will have problems involving lactation. Puppies from such bitches will have reduced growth rates and increased death rates. Marginal diets fed to bitches during the first third of the gestation period, then corrected, may be responsible for a higher incidence of obesity in the offspring whelped by those dogs. Studies involving pregnant women strongly suggest such a possibility. Women who were undernourished during the first trimester and thengiven a balanced diet during the remainder of their pregnancy had offspring who at 20 years of age had a considerably higher incidence of obesity than children from women on a regular diet throughout the pregnancy. Puppies born to bitches who did not eat well during the first 4 weeks of pregnancy should be monitored to see if these dogs have the same tendency toward obesity that was observed in humans.The first step in providing adequate nutrition for pregnant dogs is an assessment of the nutritional requirement. While there is general agreement that most commercial diets are nutritionally sufficient for reproduction, I believe they can generally be improved by minor adjustments in the levels of protein, fat, and several important vitamins and minerals.The normal protein requirement for bitches as established by the National Research Council approximates 25 percent of the food on a dry weight basis. Some commercial dog foods contain 20 to 22 percent protein. These lower protein diets, particu- lary if they are high cereal diets, generally do not provide adequate nutrition for pregnant dogs, especially when deficient in lysine essential amino acid found in protein. Lysine deficient puppies often die at birth and have abnormal liver-brain ratios. To eliminate potential deficiencies, protein levels ranging from 25 to 30 percent should be recommended for pregnant dogs. In toy breeds the level should be closer to 30 percent in 25 to 75 pound dogs, a diet composed of 26 percent protein is generally adequate.The quality of protein is as important to the health of puppies as the quantity. Research in the 1940s demonstrated the effect of substituting plant protein for animal protein in the diet of pregnant bitches. The survival rate of puppies born to these bitches ranged as low as 33 to 43 percent. Only when quality animal protein was added to the diet did the survival rates return to normal.An excellent source of high quality protein is liver either beef or pork liver. OnePOMERANIAN REVIEW fhalf to one and one half ounces given to a pregnant bitch 2 or 3 times a week will suffice. Liver is the single most important supplement that can be given to a pregnant dog for producing strong, vigorous puppies. Not only is liver more effective in stimulating lactation than egg or skeletal muscle, it also helps increase the placental size. A 240 gram puppy should have a placenta that weighs 28 to 30 grams. If the placenta weighs less than that, the puppy may be inadequately nourished because the bitch cannot deliver adequate food to the fetus. In addition to liver, cottage cheese and fish meal are good sources of supplemental protein.The fat content of feed given to bitches should range from 7 to 9 percent. Insufficient fat in the diet may result in a deficiency of linoleic acid fatty acid affecting hair and coat. Research has demonstrated that reproduction and growth of puppies in the bitch can be adversely affected if linoleic acid makes up less than 2 percent of the animals caloric intake. Fortunately, the bitchs requirement for linoleic acid can be supplied by adding corn oil or other vegetable oils to the feed. Excessive linoleic acid, i.e. greater than 5 percent of the caloric intake, may result in hemolysis rupture of red blood cells, anemia, and muscle degeneration in the puppies.The caloric density offered may be increased by adding fat to the diet. Care should be taken, however, to restrict the amount of fat to no more than 4 percentage points above the recommended 7 to 9 percent. Beyond the 4 percent level, pediatric problems have been observed. In one study various levels of fat were added to the diet of pregnant bitches and the effects on puppies were recorded. When the diet contained 7 to 9 percent fat, the birth weight of the puppies averaged 228 grams, and an average of 7.4 percent died within 24 hours of whelping. When the fat content of the diet was increased by 4 percentage points, the average birth weight increased 20 grams per puppy to 248 grams, and the death rate within the first 24 hours of birth decreased to an average of 3.8 percent. But when the fat content was increased to 16percent of the diet, the average birth weight dropped to 192 grams, and the death loss in the first 24 hours after birth went up to 18 percent. When the fat content was increased to 24 percent without a corresponding change in the percentage of protein, the average birth weight dropped to 184 grams, and the death rate in the first 24 hours reached 30 percent.Diets containing 28 to 30 percent protein and 20 to 25 percent fat are especially effective in periods of heavy lactation.Carbohydrates, according to the National Research Council, should account for no more than 65 percent of a dogs total calories. This level may be too high for routine feeding to the pregnant bitch. Problems may arise if more than 57 percent of the pregnant dogs calories are supplied by carbohydrates.Research has illustrated the benefits of adding 5 to 10 percent more feed to the maintenance diet of a bitch during the pro- estrus period. This practice, called flushing, may result in larger litters and healthier puppies. If the animal is on a free-choice diet, the best way to accomplish flushing is to add a quarter can of food to the normal diet. It is critical, however, that the additional food be discontinued before the bitch accepts the male. If the extra 5 to 10 percent feed is continued during the estrus and through the first 2 or 3 weeks of gestation, the embryonal death will increase.Vitamin supplementation may be necessary in certain situations. For example, vitamin K deficiencies can occur on large breeding farms where bitches have been given feed that has been stored for long periods under improper conditions. Affected puppies show hemorrhages around the mouth and nose. Vitamin E is recommended for puppies with signs of poor muscle strength, myodegeneration muscle degeneration andor anemia. If puppies cry excessively, do not settle down or sleep as expected and yet the bitch appears healthy, the possibility of a B-complex deficiency should be considered. The increased need for thiamine during pregnancy and the fact that commercial feeds may not supply adequate amounts to meet this need are especially important.

Dog owners may inadvertently contribute to re- oroductive problems in their bitches by giving excessive amounts of calcium. This aractice can induce a zinc deficiency and result in a higher incidence of uterine inertiaand subinvolution uterus fails to contract normally after birth. To correct such problems, the calcium to phosphorus ratio should be maintained at 1.21. Zinc intake may be increased by the administration of zinc sulfate or gluconate tablets or by feeding liver. Vitamin D excess may be indicated by tissue calcinosis abnormal calcium deposits, premature closure of the suture lines of the cranial vault, and by calcium deposits on the tongue andor surface of the liver.

I im one who has done that with my opening paragraph in the August column. I intended to indicate my disappointment that the large entry I had been led to expect didnt materialize, not anything about the qualities of the dogs that were entered. I sincerely apologize to everyone who was hurt by this.As I am just home from the 1980 Calgary shows, the largest entry ever in any Canadian shows, I hesitate to say much this time. It was great to have twelve Poms in competition, though.I indicated in my last column just how unplanned my home life has been this past winter and I know eventually the story will have to be written, complete with pictures, for it is hard to believe otherwise. At time of writing, being still without running water, unless one counts the creek, without sewer privileges, and with power only from extension cords, I find my temporary home cold, crowded, and cluttered at times. I keep my spirits up by convincing myself how much I will appreciate all the conveniences I used to take for granted once I have them again.Christmas of 1979 was the first one in ten years I have not had my Patty to share it with. This wee Pom was my first Jayenn champion, my first C.D. dog, my smallest dog, and my dearest friend. She was known by everyone, for she did not allow any visitor to ignore her. She was just too persistent, even if it meant just sitting nearby staring at them. She disappeared in October, but I still find myself expecting to see her in her basket or sleeping on my shoes, or at my chair, waiting for a handout. There are a lot of dogs here, but I doubt if there will ever be a second Patty.This past weekend was filled with reminiscing as well as showing. Someone remembered the time I had every youngster in the Continued on Page 78helpful ^ hintsS - MARGARET McKEE7660 Idlewyld Road\ Richmond, V A 23225Plastic may be anathema to environmentalists but it is a boon to dog fanciers, especially when traveling. Take along plastic bags in several sizes. Slip a sandwich bag in your pocket when you take your Pom for a walk. To clean up after him, put your hand inside the bag, pick up the feces, turn the bag inside out the stool is now inside the bag and drop it into a trash can. Motel owners and other exhibitors will appreciate your cleanliness.Small plastic garbage bags about 17 inches square have several uses. Put your shoes in one before putting them into your suitcase. Use them for litter bags in the car or at your grooming station. One will hold a weeks worth of dry dog food. I tried making a raincoat out of one for the dog but it didnt work very well.I use a large bag "lawn and leaf size to put dirty laundry in when Im on an extended trip. Take another large bag, slit it down one side and across the bottom, lay it out flat, cover with newspapers, then set up your X-pen. Be sure an enquiring paw cant reach the edge of the plastic. When ready to leave, pick up newspapers inside the plastic sheet and put them in a trash barrel. And you know, the large bag can make an emergency raincoat or grooming smock by cutting arm and head openings.Before going on a trip, you can prepare meals at home for your dogs. Put a one-dog serving for each day into plastic margarine cups and seal with the lids. Carry these in your cooler. Containers can be disposed of or washed and saved. Also in your cooler, small plastic boxes can hold sandwiches, carrot and celery sticks, and prepared bait.My tack box is plastic-coated and therefore light-weight and easy to clean its aPOMERANIAN REVIEW 6'ANADORS POMERANIANS ANNOUNCESThe Addition of Two Lovely Males to our Breeding ProgramVSBESTOFBRltt.LMtDffLAKESK^,Scotia Trails End Dark FollySire Scotia Caviliers Trails End Dam Ch.

It was so grand to eat in the Florida room and enjoy the warm weather and talk until we were hoarse and still not get caught up. On two occasions in the past the Millers had visited with us during show time in Florida, so this year we got even ... can we come again next year We also had the opportunity to visit June and Jim Coy and Junes sister, Jane Johnston, at their neighboring home in Lakeland. They have a grand set up for their dogs and as they say, they built the home for the convenience of the dogsThe entries were grand, with majors to be had every day of the circuit. This made some nice wins possible. Finishing championships became a daily affair, with Randy Freeh finishing her Ch. Jolly Wee Pistol Pete of Peppi and Ethel Richardson finishing her pretty cream girl, Ch. Ace His Peaches 'n Cream. Plus Dr. Debbie Hahn got the finishing major on Ch. Randys Dandy Do Rite of Jolly Wee, and Ralston and Carol Riggs won three majors to finish their Ch. Tim Sues Top of the Mark. Winning Best of Breed seven times was Randy Freehs Ch. Randys Ga.

It was fun and too soon over when we had to return to the land of snow and cold.Two of my daughters accompanied me to New York, where, for a change I got to play spectator, due to the fact that I was slow in sending my entries and they did not make it in time.

Our President, Carmen dander, had the misfortune of her "Buttercup breaking a front leg shortly before the Milwaukee show. Problems were encountered in setting the leg and Carmen fears that Buttercup, who has ten points, may not be able to finish her show career.Even more tragically, Nadine Hersil lost a beautiful young male, only eight months old he had eleven points at the time of his death. A detailed autopsy, including lab work, showed no sign of the dreaded Parvo or Corona viruses, but a bacterial infection of the colon. It then struck three more youngsters, with only one able to survive. Subsequent autopsies also failed to detect Parvo or Corona. Blood from the surviving puppy has been sent to Cornell in hopes of gaining more information.On a more positive note the club has decided to investigate possibilities for holding our summer match in a new location, one that will give the breed more exposure to the general public. Previously our matches have been held at a county fairground, where attendance has largely been limited tomembers and their families since the location is off the beaten path. We hope to obtain permission to hold our match at one of the shopping centers in the Kenosha area.

I sold a male to a pet home when he was three months old. When he was a year old I finally talked the doting owners into letting me show him, but they wouldn't let me keep him so I could train him. Ten days before we were to leave for his first shows, he was attacked by a German Shepherd. He had large bruises across his chest and in his groin, an abrasion on the back of his head, and eleven stitches in his left side. Naturally, a large hole had been shaved in his coat at the site of the sutures. He was lucky to be alive.After consulting with the owners I decided to take him, anyway, in order to see how well he'd travel and how he'd react to the sights and sounds of a show, especially all those strange dogs.He traveled well. At the first show, he seemed unperturbed by the noise and confusion and showed no fear of other dogs. He went in the ring and showed like a trooper both days In the group ring the last day, it appeared the little guy was having the time of his life. What a great breed this isThank you to all the people who did such a wonderful job of putting on the APC Specialty in NY. My dogs and I had a grand time. Thanks, Fred, for the Static Guard it really helped.MRS. NORRIS McKAMEY Bettendorf, IowaTo all interested Pomeranian owners, breeders. judges and exhibitors promoting our breed We as exhibitors are still entering our muddy, off-colored oranges and our washed-out pretended sables in the Open classes. This definitely is a detriment to our breed, and to the novices, breeders and agents a confusion of what class to enter their dogs in. The Standard clearly states color of solids, but many judges are not perusing it correctly. "Oranges have only lighter or darker shadings of same color. They must be free of black and black masks this also for red and creams. Our sables should be a shaded color with each guard hair ending in black tipping, appearing on the back as a black overlay blanket when sable is in full coat. Each hair is lightest at the root, darker in the middle and ending in black tipping. The sables are the only ones allowed a black mask, but a clear face on the muzzle is preferred. If our colors are not clear in our Open classes nor our sables not a proper sable, they must be penalized by the judges as being entered in the wrongclass for that show, any ribbons and wins withheld. We do have Open Any Other Allowed Color class at shows. However, this does not and has never meant off-color, black masks, muddy oranges or a few black hairs interspersed in coat as a sable. Open classes should have clear solid colors sables must carry black tipping. For our offcolor Pomeranians we have several classes where any allowable Pomeranian color goes. These are Puppy, Novice, Bred by Exhibitor and American Bred. Lets not confuse our novices, future breeders, exhibitors and judges by entering the dogs in wrong color classes.I would like to petition our APC Board to rewrite the present wording of the color portion of the Standard as it pertains to sables and to have an Open Sable class at Pomeranian Specialty shows. Please write to me at the address in my ad this issue to indicate your support. I will forward all responses to the Board.ERIN HUNDLEY Snohomish, Wash.I see many lovely ads in our Review Poms who have won this or that. The name is in large block letters and the owner and handler clearly identified. And there stands the judge with no name. His hands are full of ribbons and trophies, his eyes are on your Pom, admiring the one he picked as best that day. And we dont know who he is. I am guilty, too I noticed as I looked through some old Reviews. The judges work hard for us, even those who seem not to notice how gorgeous MY FIDO is. They stand on their feet all day, often on cement or hard wooden floors. I plan to give more credit in the future. Thanks, Judges.CANADIAN SCENEContinued from Page 66 neighborhood looking for my lost Cherry Blossom. For hours. When I went to do evening chores, she came out of the feed cupboard, casually stretched and went outdoors. Another with too good a memory brought everyones attention when she invited me for supper. On calling 'Dinner is ready I found that Howdy was the first one on the table.We have had a super winter as far as developing top-quality coats goes, for it has been alternately wet and cold. The Poms still go for a daily walk, at times fighting hard to keep up, but still not on the paths, where it would be easier. Are they trying to prove somethingPOMERANIAN REVIEW 79INDEX TO ADVERTISERSPageFran
