Luzerne Cudahy, Wl 53110 414 481-5556Three Cheers...........Many times in the past when I would read about Pom exhibitors going to different specialties, whether they be local specialties or national specialties, and praising them with numerous commendations, I would say to myself that that was what was expected of them to write and that those shows were no different than any other shows. How wrong can one person be After having chaired the national specialty here in Wisconsin and having worked with our local club on their matches, one can only appreciate the hard work and organization that goes into any show, specialty or all-breed. This was surely the case when I traveled as representative of the American Pomeranian Club to the Summer Specialty held in San Diego this past May. The members of that club who worked so hard to make the show a success are too numerous to mention and I fear if I tried, I would unknowingly forget someone who was veiy vital and contributed to this great event. But their efforts were not in vain. The turnout of loyal Pom breeders and exhibitors was tremendous and I think quite surprising to them. I have found that wherever I go, to whatever section of the country, the Pom people are there when you need them. They are there with their support of entries and assistance in whatever needs to be done. There will, no doubt, be articles in this issue stating what a marvelous time everyone had and the fact that the rain didnt want to cooperate for the Sweepstakes, but I cannot express my sheer delight and gratitude for those members who made my trip and stay in San Diego a most memorable one. Three cheers for a job well doneAfter the Summer Specialty in San Diego, I was off to Houston in August for a real treat. I had never been to that part of Pom Country and was overwhelmed with the entry for all four shows on the circuit. If anyone ever gets a chance, please go there-in the beautiful air-conditioning. Again, people whom I had never met stretched out their hands to make me feel welcome and again, they will never know how much it meant to me, a stranger, to feel a part of the crowd. Three cheers for a job well doneThis is what is so satisfying about our breed. Heaven knows we have many problems and many, many more heartaches, but this is our strength. I have mentioned in previous columns that from our unification comes our strength-from our failure comes our success. Again I wish to thank the many new friends I have met on these two trips and to please forgive me the next time we meet if I have forgotten your names. I look forward to New York and Arizona and remind the chairmen of those shows that its always brightest after the storm.Three cheers for all our Pom breeders and exhibitors.APC SPECIALTYWe regret that we did not receive information regarding the February Specialty that had been promised for this issue. We would like to remind everyone that the Specialty will be held on Sunday, February 7, 1982, the day preceding the Toy judging at Westminster.NOTICEThe APC Board would like to suggest that our readers carry their Reviews with them to shows and matches so that newcomers to the breed may have an opportunity to see the magazine. They further suggest that breeders give a gift of one issue of the Review with each puppy they sell. To do this, simply send a check for 3.50, along with the name and address of the person who is to receive the Review, to the Circulation Manager, Judy Blocker, address on page 3.POMERANIAN REVIEW 5WATTS POMERANIANSi-14\trJEST OFEED sWILMINGTON1EN EL1981AShBEtCH.

Florida Avenue, Apt. 44 Denver, CO 80231COVER STORYby Bev NorrisPictured on the front cover is our newest superstar, Ch. Bev-Nors Toasted Fudge, owned by Edward B. Jenner and Beverly Norris and exclusively handled by Susan Fisher. This youngster started his show career at seven months of age and finished his championship at 7Vi months, shown only in Puppy Class with four Best of Breed and Group placements in two weekends. He has made us extremely proud, having won three all-breed Bests in Show, one Specialty, and Best of Breed and Group Two at Madison Square Garden, all before his first birthday. Now at fifteen months he has eleven allbreed Bests in Show, one Specialty and Group Firsts too numerous for us to try to keep track of. As published by Canine Chronicle for the first half of 1981, he is ranked Number One Pomeranian and Number Two Toy with this rating he had only four Bests in Show and has since added seven more to his credit. In only a few short months February-June, Toasty, as he is called, has accumulated this incredible record. Toastys superb typiness and outstanding soundness have been recognized by breeders and awards have been made by some of the most renowned judges in all parts of the states. His unsurpassed showmanship says, Im the one.Toasty has a brother, Ch. Bev-Nors Fudge Ripple, who was only specialed six weeks and did quite a lot in his short career. He also finished as a young puppy. He is aGroup winner and finished in the Top Ter Kennel Review system for 1980. We havs some lovely puppies-his first litter, twc females, will be in the ring as of publication and dont be surprised to see this little guj again also.Toasty and Fudge Ripple have yet anothei younger brother, Bev-Nors Almond Fudge owned by Betty Caton and Beverly Norris Although not quite nine months old, he has been causing quite a stir in his area, having acquired 13 points plus several Best of Breec and Group placements from the classes ovei as many as three specials. Betty is looking forward to a specials career for this young guy. We are looking forward to more like these young males in a repeat breeding due in September.We are but a small kennel, having onlj seven females, producing very few puppies but enjoying each and every litter, anc never plan to expand because we enjoy thi amount. We have produced twelve homebred champions, two Best in Shov dogs, five Group winners, six Specialty win ners, one Bermudan champion, on Venezuelan champion, two Canadian cham pions both Group winners, with severa' others well on their way. We have been con centrating on the bloodlines of Mrs. RutI Beam Great Elms line and combining then with the Showstopper line. All of our pup pies are of this breeding.10 POMERANIAN REVIEWBEV-NOR POMSCH. BEV-NORS FUDGE RIPPLE Handled exclusively by Susan Fisher, Owned by Beverly Norris and Edward B.

BASSETT 2713 S. 111th E Ave. Tulsa, OK 74129I attended my first Delegates meeting on June 9, 1981, as AKC Delegate of the American Pomeranian Club. It is an honor to represent the Club in this way, and I will do my best to keep you all informed through this column of any items of interest from these meetings.Three items of general interest were discussed at the meetingUniversal Standards the American Kennel Club has been participating in discussions with other Kennel Clubs for the past couple of years regarding development of universal standards. The primary participants have been the AKC, the Kennel Club of England, and the F.C.I. The meetings have been quite preliminary in nature, and have focused on the feasibility of such a move. The AKC has agreed that the idea is a good one and should be pursued, but has been careful to state to the other participants that in the United States the breed parent clubs have authority over their breed standards. This situation would make agreement on universal standards quite difficult, and AKC expects this to be a long-term project.Centennial Show the date of November 17-18, 1984, was announced as the date for the American Kennel Clubs Centennial Dog Show. The show will be held in Philadelphia and will be put on by the AKC. All of the various breed parent clubs will be asked to participate and sponsor specialties at the show. More details will be announced in the near future, but Im sure we can anticipate a very large and prestigious event.Triple Champion a forthcoming rule change proposal was announced that would provide for the designation of Triple Champion for a dog that completes requirementsfor show, field and obedience championship. Once proposed and approved, the title will apply retroactively to dogs that have already qualified. AKC does not expect to issue any special certificate to dogs that qualify.The next meeting of the Delegates will be held on Tuesday, September 15th, and I will be reporting the results to you following that meeting.CANADIAN POSTAL STRIKEDue to the Canadian postal strike, the July issue of the Review could not be mailed to our readers in Canada until after the deadline for the October issue. Consequently, most Canadian breeders were unaware that the October Kennel Visit would be to Canadian breeder, Chris Heartz. In the January issue we will gladly accept any belated congratulatory ads for Chris that our readers in Canada may wish to send.ORGS KENNELPOMS AND POODLESProducing Lovely Partis and Dark Chocolates Plus Reds, Oranges CreamsCH.

Acacia Ave. Rialto, CA 92376POMERANIAN REVIEW 1IMPORTANT NOTICEThe October 1981 issue of the Review will mark the completion of my second and final year as Editor. Recent Board action has resulted in my letter of resignation, which will be effective with the completion of this issue.A number of Board members have expressed the opinion that controversial material sent for publication in the Review should first be forwarded to the Board for approval before it can be printed. At the very least, this proposal would create chaos with the schedule of the Review. By necessity it takes a nation-wide Board a number of months to act on any issue set before it. Written agendas must pass from Corresponding Secretary to Board members and back again in order for the Board to conduct its business. This takes time, especially if a difference of opinion exists among Board members. Any material that would have to pass Board scrutiny before it could be printed would be delayed by one issue at the very least. More important and most disturbing is the Boards wanting to put itself in the position of censor. A certain amount of controversy is inevitable in any honest, open magazine. People have always been able to use the Review to express their opinions, good or bad, and I would hate to see that change because of short-sightedness on the part of the present Board.Since it is impractical for the Board and the Editor to work closely together in theAMERICANPOMERANIAN CLUB, INC.This club is devoted to encouraging the owning, breeding and exhibiting of the Pomeranian dog and the protection and advancement of the breed.We are currently offering membership to all who are interested in these principles and aims.If you are interested in joining the Club, please contact the Secretary, or if you only wish to subscribe to the Review contact the circulation manager. Address on page 3, Review.short period of time available to assemb the Review, it is necessary for the Board 1 have enough confidence in its Editor to trui her to make the necessary decisions regar ing the Review. When confidence is lackir to the point that censorship is being coi sidered by a large percentage of the Board, is apparent that a new Editor is needed, or in whom the Board can place its trui without resorting to depriving the reade ship of an honest and open magazine.Since I will not edit the Review with an censorship restrictions placed upon me an apparently do not have the support of man of the Board members, I have resigned.As of this writing, the Board is looking fc a new Editor. Will any Club member who i willing and capable of assuming this pos tion please contact the President or an Board member immediately.During the interim, all material for th January issue should be sent to me, as usua PLEASE NOTE The deadline for January November 15, falls on a Sunday therefor all material SHOULD be received by Satuj day, November 14. To allow leeway for th inevitable Monday-morning flurry tha seems to accompany a week-end deadline, will wait until Mondays mail has arrive before I take the material to the post offic to forward to the new Editor. All materia arriving after that date will be held for th following issue, to be forwarded at a late date at my convenience.REMINDERPlease dont forget that the deadline foi Catalogue Ads for our February Specialty Show is November 15. No extensions unless previously notified by phone, if perhaps waiting for a show picture. As there is always a lot of last-minute work to gel things ready for the printer, I would realty appreciate it if you would send your ads just as early as possible.Sophie H.

This was the largest entry the San Diego Pom Club has ever had The impressive entry, Im sure, was a result of our two knowledgeable and well-liked judges. Our Sweepstakes judge was Ms. Anna La Fortune and our Regular Class judge was Mr. Darrell Baker.Anna is probably best known as the breeder of Ch. Sungolds Gay Cavilier. Her Sungold prefix is on many, many pedigrees, as are the many champions she bred. Darrell and Olga Baker are known and loved by everyone, as was their great Pom, Ch. Corns Duke Dragonfly. These two famous dogs left an incredible mark of excellence on our Poms of today.Specialty day dawned disappointingly for us all, as the rain came down in gusts. Everyone commented on our miracle, however, for as our Sweepstakes judging started, the rain stopped.There were twenty puppies entered in Sweepstakes. Ms. La Fortune selected Riders Kimberly Ann, owned by Blanche V. Rider, from the 6-9 Month Puppy Class as her Best Puppy. Best of Opposite Sex was Kazars John R lovely orange male owned by Richard and Ethel Lackey of Yuma, Arizona. Mrs. Riders Kimmie was sold at ringside that day, and the next weekend won two majors from the Puppy Class.In order not to slight anyone I have not gone into detail on the winners as I was showing that day and was not able to see every dog in the ring. Winners from the Regular Classes are as followsPuppy Dogs, 6-9 Months, was won by Millwoods Triple Sec, owned by Jean Mill and Jim Alford.Puppy Dogs, 9-12 Months, was won by Watts Little J.R., owned by Dolores A.

BakerJudging the APC Summer Specialty, hosted by the San Diego Pomeranian Club, was a privilege and a pleasure. From the entrance of the first puppy into the ring until the last Special, the dogs were absolutely beautiful I will not give individual class winners, as they will be reported elsewhere.When the Winners Class came into the ring, I viewed something a judge dreams of but seldom sees-every dog I felt was worthy of a purple ribbon. My limit was one purple ribbon, however, awarded to Damata D.J., an excellent dog owned by Darlys Flaata. Reserve Winners Dog came from the 6-9 Month Puppy Class. Millwoods Triple Sec, owned by Jean Mill and Jim Alford, was one of those you would like to take home with you. These were strongly pressed by the Open Dog Black, Phyner Black Sombrero, owned by Dolly Trauner and Julie Moreno Bred-by Exhibitor Dog, Maranathas Lil Ezekiel, owned by Steve and Gloria Carlin and an American Bred Dog, Damata Urban Cowboy a tiny gutsy little guy trying perhaps to live up to his name.My Open Bitch class was stunning. It was very difficult to make a decision between Sunrays Lil Fan Flair, owned by Irene and Susan Swigert, and Pomirish Squirts Fizz, owned by Sally Baugniet. The blue went to Sunrays Lil Fan Flair because she never let down. Each time I looked she was in a perfect show pose, feet precisely where they belonged, demonstrating a well put-together Pomeranian picture. She later was to become my Winners Bitch and Best of Winners, with fine little Pomirish Squirts Fizz my Reserve Winners Bitch. A close race. These were again hard-pressed by a lovely Open Black bitch, Damata Maud of Sun-Dee, owned by Darlys Flaata and Dorothy Keller.I have judged several Pomeranian specialties, including the National Specialty. I can honestly recall no finer a class of Specials ever seen or judged than those presented to me on that semi-sunny day in California. Using every piece of the Pom Standard stamped in my head, I evaluated them individually and competitively, narrowing to four or five and becoming increasingly more difficult. My final decision for Best of Breed was a marvelous representative of our breed, Champion Randys GA Hotshot of Jolly Wee, owned by Mrs. Randall Freeh. Hot on his coat-tail was an extraordinary little dog, Champion Queenaire Triple Scotch, owned by Adrian and Marianne Alford. These two dogs were perhaps unaware and Im sure their owners or handlers were unaware they were in a running gun-battle for the big win, but believe me, they were Both dogs gave their all, as did all contenders.Best of Opposite Sex was also a special Pomeranian, Ch. Que Sera GiGi of Golden Glow, owned by Philip and Erin Hundley.The special touches, marvelous hospitality, and great people combined to make this a judging assignment to be remembered and appreciated. Sadly, all assignments arent quite that special Thank you, San Diego Pom Club, for all.FROM THE SPECIALTY CHAIRMANby Marianne AlfordI feel I would be remiss if I didnt give my thanks to the people who made the May Specialty such a success.First to Nadine Hersil and the American Pomeranian Club for allowing us the privilege of hosting the Specialty. Secondly, to A1 Alford and the San Diego Pomeranian Club for the tremendous amount of work they did. It took all of them to make it the success it was.Our thanks to Darrell Baker and AnnaLa Fortune for their fantastic judging.A special thanks to Pauline Hughes for founding the San Diego Pomeranian Club. Without her, none of this would have been possible.The most special thanks go to all the people who came from near and far to support us. Cooperation from this whole group made the day go virtually flawless. On behalf of the entire club, thank you for helping us make May 16,1981, a day well never forget.POMERANIAN REVIEW 2SUMMER SPECIALTY WINNERSPUPPY SWEEPSTAKES-Judge, Ms. Anna La Fortune BEST IN SWEEPSRiders Kimberly Ann owned by Blanche V.

V rift_ Xiir vT.r-------^hris and Am. Can. Ch. Chriscendo Coy oquetteJohn, Chriss husband, is a well-known pro- sssional handler. Although he gives all the redit for the Poms to Chris, it is his nowledge, experience and advice that make p an important part of what Chris calls a retty good team. Johns breed is Pembroke Velsh Corgis. One of his best known, Am. an. Ch. Tiverton Talk of Th Town, was the Dinner of fourteen Bests in Show, a record Dr the breed in Canada. She was also one of he Top Working Dogs during the year she fas campaigned. Although no longer active- f breeding, other than the occasional co- wned litter, Johns twelve years of ex- erience is put to good use. He takes great nterest in the Poms and enjoys seeing Chris lo well with them. He is, in fact, her reatest supporter.Chris is a designercolorist with a major arpet manufacturing firm based in Truro. he is a trained Commercial Artist andkeeps busy in her spare time doing artwork in a variety of breeds, but what she most enjoys is Poms and does darling pen and ink sketches. Chris also makes most of her own clothes.Chriss first involvement in the breed was with a pet quality male whom she bought with her first paycheck. He was her constant companion and she quickly became involved in Obedience and obtained a C.D. degree. They also tried conformation and managed to get 9 points towards a Canadian championship, and they were hard-earned points, for Chris is sure that they lost a lot more than they won. Unfortunately he was tragically killed by a stray dog just after his second birthday. Chris by that time was determined that her next Pom would be a show quality, breedable female and her search began. She attended as many shows as possible both in Canada and the U.S., even when she had nothing to show. She met breeders, watched as many top Poms as she could get to see, studied bloodlines and devoured all the Pom information she could get her hands on. Working for John was an excellent way to get to a lot of shows, and a good way to get to know her future husbandChris bought and finished several females of Canadian, American and English breeding over the next couple of years. From each she gained more ring experience and learned the strengths and weaknesses of each. But none of these girls seemed to be exactly what she wanted, so after they completed their Canadian championships she placed each one where they would continue to be shown and loved.In 1975 Chris went on the New England Circuit. There she saw the one Pom who made the most significant impression of any she had ever seen. She was the multiple Best in Show-winning bitch, Ch. Millamors Marketta, handled by Georgia Murdock. Chris wasted little time introducing herself to the Murdocks and getting closer to Marketta. In fact she spent almost the entire week watching her in the ring, talking to Georgia or playing with Marketta and a pupPOMERANIAN REVIEWpy the Murdocks had with them. By the end of the week Chris had begged to buy the puppy until, as she says, Im sure they sold her to me for fear that I might never leaveIt was not that Chris had simply fallen in love with this little puppy, for what seven week old Pom puppy isnt adorable This pup was a combination of two of the bloodlines she most admired. She was sired by Ch. Bonners Kristin Starmist and out of Millamors Dancette, daughter of the outstanding producer Ch. Thelcolynns Tiny Sundance.Soon after Chris and Pandora arrived back home in Nova Scotia, John came over to inspect this tiny grey bundle of fluff that Chris assured him was the answer to her dreams. Pandora grew up and finished in Canada while still a puppy. She became Can. Ch. Chriscendo Dancing Starlet. By the end of the year Chris of course had her first breeding all planned. Marketta was still all she talked of, and there was no doubt whom Pandora would be bred to-Markettas sire, Ch. Millamors Mark of Dixieland. It was a very nice breeding, both on paper and with one dog complementing the other. The only problem was that Chris was leary about sending her only girl thousands of miles away to someone she didnt even know.Then came what Chris considers her biggest stroke of luck. John had several of his Corgis at the National Specialty in Pennsylvania. He met a girl who was interested in using one of his dogs. In the course of the day they met again, outside of the Pom ring at the all-breed show. Each wondered what the other was doing there. John explained that his girlfriend Chris had Poms and she explained that her best friend, back in Ohio, was a well-known Pom breeder. That breeder turned out to be none other than Eleanor Miller, Millamor Poms.Within a few short months Chris and John drove from Nova Scotia to Ohio to pick up Pandora, who had been bred to Mark, and to meet the Millers and the Millamor Poms.Chris and John both feel they owe so much to Ken and Eleanor Miller. Their friendship, their advice and the quality of the dogs they have bought from them have been invaluable.On that first trip to Ohio, John was ve taken with the Millers well-known C Millamors Moon Rock. Moon Rock alwa held a special place in his heart, both as i individual and for his contribution to tl breed. When Pandora failed to have ar puppies, it was agreed that on her ne. season she would be bred to Moon Rock. Tv months later she whelped one dead ma puppy. Undaunted, they again drove Ohio. Eleanor had written that she had male pup that they might be interested i He was a repeat of the young dog Eleani had just finished when they were there las Ch. Millamors Rock Montegram. Both Chr and John had loved his pedigree as much they loved Monte. He was sired by Moc Rock and out of a Mark daughter, a con bination of their two favorite dogs.Millamors Rock Medallion accompanie them back to Nova Scotia as did a femal Am. Ch. Millamors Marita, a five year oh Chris finished Marita in Canada very quid ly with a Group First from the classes. She i now the oldest member of the family, a ha] py and healthy ten years young. Medallior too, started his show career as soon as the returned from Ohio. He won several Bes Puppy in Show awards and Grou placements at some of Canadas largest fa] shows..AChris and Medallion2 POMERANIAN REVIEWI remember when they brought Medallion lome, a huge-coated, somewhat gangly irange boy. Chris was so proud of him and onfident that he would grow up to be a ood one the Millers had assured her he vould. Over the last few years he has more .han fulfilled her wildest dreams. Medallion ecame Canadas greatest winning Pom in he history of the breed. Now retired from he ring, he is becoming a top producer, vhich is really what its all about. Medallion las three multiple Best in Show winners imong his champion progeny, which number 'our Canadian and one American.

Chriscendo Coy Coquette.Medallion was also bred to Pandora that fall, and two months later John arrived home from the vets, in the middle of a snowstorm, with a fat orange girl Chris called Amanda.When Amanda was four months old John and Chris were married and moved into their Truro home. John built a room downstairs with large pens to house each of the four Poms.Chris could hardly wait to begin showing Amanda, and entered her in her first shows when she was barely six months old. She was more than pleased with the way she was turning out. She quickly became Can. Ch.Chriscendo Coy Coquette, finishing at IVz months. Following in her fathers footsteps, she too went on to win several Best Puppy in Show awards and Group placements.Medallion didnt remain in the background either. He completed his Bermuda title in three shows with a Group First. In Canada he became Top Pom in Canada with four Bests in Show and over twenty-five Group Firsts.The following spring Chris and John decided to actively campaign Medallion. He was sent to a handler in Ontario, where he would get the most exposure. He was shown almost across the country that year and was again Top Pom, winning eight more Bests and bringing his record to twelve and more than sixty Group Firsts. Amanda remained at home and although shown sparingly, in less than three months won four Bests in Show and twelve Group Firsts. She became Number Two Pom in Canada and the Top Canadian-Bred Pom.Both Chris and John enjoy traveling to American shows on their free weekends and showed Amanda at a few New England-area shows. Defeated only once, she picked up 11 points, including a major, going Best of Opposite Sex at the Bay Colony Pom Specialty.John says he remembers one of the highlights of showing Amanda that year was not in any Best in Show or Group win but in a Best of Breed. Amanda was entered under well-known breeder-judge Mrs. Dorothy Bonner. Chris had always admired Mrs. Bonner for the tremendous contribution that she has made to the breed over the years and looked forward to showing under her. They both watched as Mrs. Bonner judged Poms that day, carefully going over each exhibit as only one with such a long association with the breed can. Chris walked into the ring with Amanda and John watched as Dorothys face lit up. He said that look, completely candid, will stay in his mind more than any comment or win she could have given her that day. It made him very proud of both of those girls.John had always predicted that Amanda would be a star. Chris was happy that this, her first puppy, was a female and was big enough to breed.

Since majors are nuch more scarce in the area they were howing in, they asked Eleanor if she would ry her in a few Florida shows. The first veeks that she was gone were torture as hey waited to hear how she had done and vhat the Millers thought of her. Eleanor ilways hates to ship any Poms and so they ry to drive the dogs to her or have them lelivered. Sue Goddard had agreed to take Amanda from the APC Specialty in New fork to the Florida shows that she and Sleanor were both going on. Finally Eleanor called to say Amanda had won two majors at ler first two shows. But more important, she isked if they would consider selling her. Ihat was their answer-the Millers approved. Amanda remained in Florida for several -nonths, where Eleanor specialed her, co- ywned with Chris. She did some nice winning, including Group placements and Bests of Breed in very tough male competition.Amandas breeding was repeated, and a male puppy was sold to Johns Collie and Sheltie clients, Fred and Kay Baxstrome. They wanted just one Pom. He quickly became Can. Ch. Chriscendo Causin A Commotion, and won several Group Firsts and Best Puppy in Shows his first year. As a Special, Andy won three Bests in Show and more than twenty-five Group Firsts, to take over for his father as Top Pom in Canada for 1980.While Andy was home changing coat, Chris brought out a little red female puppy they had bought from the Millers earlier in the spring. At the tender age of ten months, she became Can. Ch. Millamors Moon Shadow. This beautifully-bred girl was sired by a Moon Rock son and out of Medallions litter sister. In just a month Shadow won a Best in Show, a Toy Specialty, two Best Puppy in Specialties, two Group Firsts and four Best Puppy in Show She was also Reserve Winners Bitch this year at the American Pom Specialty.Chris and John finished a female for Betty Bell of Vermont and while she was here they both felt very strongly that she should be bred to Medallion. The resulting puppy wastheir Can. Ch. Bells Chriscendo Carmichael, who won the Sweepstakes this year at the APC Specialty. Michael was shown in Canada and won two Bests in Show, seven Group Firsts and eight Best Puppy in Show wins. All this before he was a year old The newest addition to their family, Chriscendo Carlotta, who looks very promising at this age, is a repeat of Michael.1'F mA Medallion daughter, Chriscendo Carlotta, at four months.Today the Chriscendo Poms number under ten. All are champions in Canada but one. An amazing record. This kennel produces one litter a year and in each has been a Best- in-Show winner.The facilities are excellent, thanks to John, who builds everything himself. In the summer the Poms are in the kennel, spending the days outside in large 8x8 foot pens under the shade of a big maple tree. Nova Scotian weather has its advantages in that the summer days are rarely too hot to keep the Poms outside and even in the winter they enjoy the occasional romp in the snow when the weather permits.Females in season and visiting matrons are kept in the Pom Room downstairs in the house, which is where everyone is kept in the winter. Each bred female is carefully watched and put on a special diet throughout her pregnancy, until she is moved upstairs in the kitchen to whelp. Young puppies spend a great deal of time in the house and are comPOMERANIAN REVIEWpletely socialized by the time they are old enough for the ring. Keeping litters to a minimum allows Chris to give individual attention when the pups need it most therefore the quality must be very high to ensure that Chris will have a new puppy to show each year. Each breeding is carefully researched and based on top bloodlines, most of course, being Millamor. Because of Johns background in Working dogs, both he and Chris are firm believers that type and soundness can be combined in the same dog. This is what they work towards and are proving it is working. They are proud of the fact that the Poms do well under specialists, Toy and Pom, as well as under all-breed judges. Their dogs are always beautifully presented and groomed to perfection. As they both strive toward their goals I am sure that Chriscendo Poms will be in the ring, both in Canada and the U.S., with top quality dogs for many years to come.THE JANUARY COVER IS AVAILABLEGreat Elms Kennels, Regd.Congratulations to Chris Heartz and her Chriscendo PomsDear Friends-Please believe me when I say I do not ship, other than returning matrons shipped in for breeding.I raise very few promising puppies and NEVER sell one as definite show type. I sell pups just as soon as I think it safe to let them go as I have a numbness in my right hand, usually a minute or two after brushing. As you know, it takes a lot of brushing to keep coats in good condition. That is the reason I cant keep pups until they are old enough to be SURE they are showable.Ruth L. Beam p.O.

MayesPART TWOTo establish a recognizable individual strain within a given breed, linebreeding is necessary. Hit or miss breeding between unrelated animals may give the breeder some excellent puppies discussed more fully later under the heading of Outcrossing. But difficulties are encountered in the next and subsequent generations, when it becomes apparent that a scattering of the genes has dispersed many of the good qualities first obtained, and a great variety of types is found, none of them anywhere near as good as either parent.Linebreeding will act to concentrate the genes of the prototype-excellent ancestor. This will shorten the odds for obtaining an equally excellent puppy. We have realized that breeding brother to sister will cut the odds in half, and this extreme form of in- breeding can be used by the daring breeder as a gamble to produce the very best. But the risks are very great, as almost all bad genes, that is faults, are recessives. In most cases, the dominant gene of a given pair will be the normal, and the undesirable trait will be the recessive. This means that this particular fault will not show up unless and until it is found in BOTH parents. If both parents have a recessive fault, a certain percentage of the puppies will receive a double dose of the recessive gene and the fault will surface. Certain colors are also known to be recessives, i.e. covered up by dominant colors until the recessive gene is found in BOTH parents chocolate, black and tan, etc.. Luxated patellas are recessive, but this fault is complicated by the fact that it is polygenic-that is, many different genes are involved, not just a single one. Thus, like hip dysplasia in larger breeds, luxated patellas cannot ever be completely eradicated by selective breeding. Cryptorchidism is also recessive and apparently can be carried by females as well as males, although of course no female will ever have testicles so the genotype of the female offspring can only be discovered by test breedings, not by appearance.Inbreeding, then, is for the daring breed who wishes to gamble BIG. A wiser choice linebreeding. Select for your breeding stoc excellent quality individuals related to tl same not-too-distant admired ancestor, have found half-brother to half-sister, wit the common parent being the better of tl two if both are not equally good, an extrem ly useful breeding combination. Grandfath to granddaughter or uncle to niece can I equally good. First cousin to first cousin O.K. but verging on the too distant relatioi ship for best results.Remember that in linebreeding anmore so in inbreeding, the genes of thless-good ancestors will be concentratejust as surely as those of the best chanpions. This is THE REASON to start witexcellent quality although not necessarilchampion quality bitches for youbreeding stock.The English were and are marvelous do breeders and we, especially, must give thei credit for reducing size, improving and stai dardizing type and indeed for creating th modern Pomeranian. At first, their goal i breeding was to keep the colors pure an conformation was secondary to colo breeding. This changed about the time tha we first began to import Poms in any grea numbers, around the first of the centurj The first imports were mostly blacks, whiti blues or chocolates of conformation tha would not receive a second glance today. B the time imports ceased because of the Firs World War, conformation had become th primary consideration and sables an oranges were the most popular colors. It i an indisputable fact that if certain rare co ors such as black, chocolate, white and blu are bred for color only to each separate colo for several generations, conformation wil revert to a much less desirable type than ou present day show Poms. We can onl speculate why this is so. Perhaps there is linkage of the genes, binding certain color to certain types. In any case, color-breedin is a difficult and frustrating endeavor and iPOMERANIAN REVIEWist left to the experienced breeders.There are dangers as well as advantages to .ost worthwhile endeavors and the line- eeding of dogs is no exception. Although le risk is not quite as great as in close in- reeding, many times we are disappointed i find that our perfect breeding has ought together one or more recessive .ults carried by the parents but unknown i the breeder until the two carriers were ated. Here is where the Breeders are iparated from the puppy producers. Not on- the end product of this breeding should be tcluded from future breeding stock, but irious consideration depending on the ult, the opposing good qualities of the pair, c. should be given to excluding the parents om the program also.This brings us to the Outcross method of eeding. There is an old saying, Inbreed vice, then outcross. This is an OLD TVES TALE that unfortunately persists ong with the myths that feeding a dog igar will give him worms and raw meat ill give him fits. A famous geneticist was ked by a novice breeder to write down the rrect schedule for making an outcross. The an is supposed to have replied, What ut- r nonsense This is like asking me what ly of the week to carry an umbrellaThe fact is that in establishing a strain f Poms, an outcross should NEVER be US- 1, if it can be avoided. To my way of linking, an outcross is either the eeding method of the ignorant novice or le cry for help of a more experienced -eeder suddenly faced with a problem he links he cant solve within his own line. An outcross breeding between two irelated Poms is a hybrid breeding just as breeding between a Peke and a Poodle is a vbrid breeding-the only difference is one degree. The Fi first generation offspring a hybrid breeding will often show a spec- icular quality which is due to the ysterious but very real factor known as lybrid vigor. We can find innumerable ex- nples of this factor at work. The greatest on to mankind in the past history of p-icultural and other endeavors, before the Ivent of the gasoline and diesel engine, was le mule. As most of you know, the mule isthe product of breeding a jack male donkey to a mare. Hybrid vigor insured that the mule was more resistant to disease and lameness and able to do more work on less feed and under more rigorous conditions than the horse. What many of you may not know is that the result of breeding together a stallion and a jenny female donkey is an utterly worthless animal called the hinny. Many are also familiar with the use of hybrid breedings in grains and in food animals to insure greater production or greater weight gain per pound of feed. The Fi generation demonstrates the hybrid vigor mentioned above. Thus two different breeds of cattle are mated and the steers resulting are far superior to the pure-bred products. Hybrid corn often gives three times the bushels per acre over the individual parent stock. Many ornamental plants are improved in appearance or resistance to disease through hybrid breeding.The mule is unable to reproduce himself as both male and female are sterile. Most but not all other hybrid animals and plants can reproduce, but for the most part the Fi offspring are NOT used for breeding purposes as the results are almost invariably disappointing. In order to obtain more mules or more hybrid corn, etc., the original hybrid cross is repeated.The reason the Fz generation of hybrid breedings is disappointing is that the gene pool is scattered. We have lost the concentration of good genes that linebreeding or in- breeding brought us.To bring this down to outcross breeding of Poms, the Fi or first generation offspring of a complete outcross will often be a beautiful champion quality animal. This is hybrid vigor at work. But since most Pom breeders are looking for a long-term rather than just a short-term improvement, they will not expect the outcross champion to produce as well as the linebred champion. With too many outcross breedings the entire benefit formerly gained by linebreeding has been dissipated and lost.There are prominent Pom breeders who have produced champion after champion by outcross or nearly outcross breedings. They have been lucky in achieving hybrid vigorPOMERANIAN REVIEWand usually smart enough not to try to build a line on the results. Or where they have tried, they have failed and ceased breeding activities in disgust.Outcross breeding cannot be used to correct a recessive fault and should not be thought of in that respect. Because the unrelated parents in a true outcross breeding very often do not carry the same recessive faults, the fault will be covered up or hidden in the offspring-but it is carried in many of the normal-appearing animals and will reappear just as soon as an attempt is made to breed back into the linebred strain and once more concentrate the good genes in the line.When a recessive fault appears, of course the breeding that produced it should not be repeated-unless the majority of the litter is free of the fault and perhaps one individual only need be culled. Instead of resorting to a complete outcross, the breeder should attempt to compensate for the failure by breeding the normal appearing Fi offspring to a mate in the same line, one that hasnever been known to produce this particu fault.As a possible alternative, perhaps a p, tial outcross must be made, that is with or one quarter of the pedigree of an outcn line, the other three quarters linebred in t breeders own line.If a novice breeder has accumulat unrelated Poms all from good linebr strains, what course should be followed If all possible, EACH of these animals shot be bred back into the strain from whence came. This will give the breeder several c ferent linebred strains from which to choo While continuing to linebreed in each c ferent strain, experimental outcro breedings can be made from time to til between two families of Poms, and th several strains can be combined and sub quent generations bred back into alterm strains. It will quickly be noticed that o tain strains seem to combine well and c tinue to show improvement in the F2 gene tion and certain others show the disappoi continued on page 70tve cctyrii,SOrder your Poms pen-and-ink portraiton custom-designed cardsOR choose from our pre-printed selection.Thoughtful gifts for special peoplePom portraits in pen-and-ink or color 1982 Pom calendars in your choice of Pom colors Pom key chains, trinket boxes, bread n cheese boardsfrgys c rp' at \VPlease send 75 and LONG SASE for 3 brochures toP.O.

The following comments on hecking puppies during the first couple of reeks of life are LinsI saw a bumper sticker at a recent dog how that read, Have you hugged your dog oday A better motto for Toy dog breeders night be, Have you felt your puppy today liny Toy babies, particularly preemies, can et into trouble amazingly quickly, and bythe time it is apparent they are in distress, it is often too late. I find my best indicator of how a young puppy is doing is by feeling of it. Often a puppy which appears to be quietly lying in its box may be quietly dying. Premature and weak puppies do not always have a suckling response and can go without nursing for so long that they are too weak to suckle. They can starve amazingly quickly.To catch problems with infant puppies early, before they get serious, I check all newborns frequently by hand several times a day. I pick up the puppy and hold it in my palm. When it is first lifted, it responds by tensing its muscles somewhat. A puppy that feels limp or feels soft is too weak. I run a finger gently down its back from neck to tail. Even a preemie responds by lifting its head, arching its neck or flexing its back. Younger puppies make a less pronounced reaction than older puppies.I run my finger against the hair and watch the reaction. This is usually a flexing of legs and movement of head. A puppy that makes little or no response to being rubbed several times is in distress. Hungry Toys do not always cry. They are more likely to get quieter and quieter when they are very young. Your sense of touch may be your only indicator of this problem.While I am still holding the puppy I turn it over and check to see if the stomach is round and smooth. A stomach that appears wrinkled is probably empty. A very taut, tight stomach with a bluish tint may mean its food is not agreeing with it. Check its mouth for a stale or sour smell. A change of food may be necessary, but this is a different problem.Recently a preemie of mine needed a few supplemental feedings by tube to keep up his strength. He was six days early, an only puppy, with a good but active mother. For the first week he was a sluggish nurser and could not keep up with his mother well enough to stay full. When he did not nurse enough, he would curl up quietly and quit trying. A once- or twice-a-day supplement gave him the strength to be a more aggressive nurser. Tube feeding does not interfere with nursing response if used as acontinued on page 96POMERANIAN REVIEWHELPFULHINTSbyMARGARET McKEE 7660 Idlewyld Road Richmond, VA 23225Fires have unfortunately been a newsworthy topic this past year. Tragic hotel fires have not been rare occurrences. Lives have also been lost, so often needlessly, in house fires. Some of these fires can be traced to the increased use of wood stoves and space heaters. The thought of a fire in home, hotel, or kennel is particularly nightmarish for us Pom owners since our little ones are so vulnerable and so dependent on us. Lets look at some ways we can prevent or cope with fires.Too often after the fire is over, the fire chief has lamented that lives could have been saved if smoke detectors had been in use. Smoke detectors are one of the best investments you can make. Each unit costs between 25 and 50, and one or two units should be sufficient for your kennel facilities. They are easy to install and maintain. Batteries have to be replaced about once a year.You should have at least one fire extinguisher in your kennel area. The ABC type is best as it will handle paper, wood, grease, and electrical fires. Learn how to use it, instruct your kennel help in its use, and put it where it is easily reached. Check it periodically to see that it is charged. Also put a fire extinguisher in your car and in your motor home or trailer.Just as you practice fire drills with your family, plan -with the adults in the household how to get the dogs out. Is there more than one exit from the kennel area If your cages are fixed in place, are the latches easy to open in a hurry If yours are house dogs, do they always sleep in the same place Do you always know how many dogs are in the house and in the kennels so you can be sure that all are out Do you have a place to put them safely once theyre out I keep two or three traveling crates in my Suburban all the time, so the caris an obvious place to put my ten.Place a sign or sticker on your front door on the door to the kennel announcing Dogs I side, to alert firefighters in case fire shoul break out while youre away. Decals can be o tained from Animal Veterinary Products, Inc Box 1267, Galesburg, IL 61401, or Blue Ribbo Dog Breeders, Box 6463, Elmwood Statioi Omaha, NE 68106. Selling such decals woul be a good project for your dog club.Your heating system is the most like] source of fire. Have it inspected yearly. If yo use an oil or gas heater with a flame, dont us hair or bug spray near it. Wood stoves an chimneys need frequent cleaning. Dont bur trash, plastic, or colored newspaper in yor wood stove. Be sure the cord for your spac heater is unencumbered and not where curiot teeth can get at it. Your portable heater shoul not be on a surface that might get damp.If you are building new kennel facilitie lucky you, give a lot of thought to fire prever tion in selection of materials, layout, electrics and heating systems. Fortunately, mos fireproof materials are also easy to keep cleai concrete, cinder block, aluminum. If possible design all pens for floor level, since deadl smoke tends to rise. Put in at least two exitsIn hotels and motels, check the layout a soon as you reach your room. Where ar nearest exits and stairways in relation to youi room How do windows operate What is out side those windows Your dogs should sleep ir their crates, not in an x-pen or on the floor, sc that in an emergency you can grab the crate and go. Precious minutes would be lost looking for a confused and frightened dog in a dark smoky room. A flashlight on the bedside table is a good idea since electrical systems often fail during fires.At shows, be sure your equipment does not block aisles. After you set up, note the nearest exits and the paths to them. Look to see ii there is a fire extinguisher nearby. Be vei^ careful when you plug in any electrical equipment. If you use a dryer or clippers, get a heavy-duty extension cord to carry with you. Pick up trash, newspapers, and sawdust promptly and dispose of them.Be alert and be aware and you can prevent a tragedy to your little ones.rI POMERANIAN REVIEWRECOLLECTIONSbyDERIAL JACKSON 752 Albion Road Columbia, SC 29205Erimus ReEchoEng.

His sire had the same oat even when I last saw him when he was en years old. Mrs. Matta had bred his dam nd was delighted with Sahib. His litter ister, Ch. Radiant Candida, was kept by liss Procter and produced several champions. Sahib was a good sire, too, producing Ch. Little Chota Sahib, Ch. Sahib Jewel of Emrose Hill and several others. Jewel, a wonderful little sable, won her championship in three shows. She was overshadowed by her kennelmate, Ch. Perfection of Emrose Hill. Emrose Hill was the kennel name used by Mrs. Andrew Rose, and her Pomeranians were shown and often bred by Mrs. Matta.Ch. Little Sahib, owned by Mrs. Vincent Matta. Photo courtesy of Derial Jackson.While Sahib was being shown, Mrs. Matta was also showing Mrs. Roses Ch. Salisbury Sensation, also one of the all-time greats. Mrs. Matta adored this dog and he was really absolutely topnotch. Unfortunately, Mrs. Rose never bred her dogs so Mrs. Matta purchased Sensations sire, Ch. Salisbury Golden Bracket, who was also the grandsire of Ch. Perfection of Emrose Hill, in hopes of breeding him to Sahibs daughters. But, as those things happen, she was never able to produce anything from this combination. In retrospect, this was very good for the breed, for Mrs. Matta then decided to look in England for a stud close enough to linebreed with Sahib and Golden Brackets daughters. She was successful in finding at Mrs. Hen- shaws Sealand Kennels an adult dog which had already proven himself both as prepotent stud and outstanding show dog. This was, of course, our great Sealand Moneybox. He arrived in New York in late 1937 and made his show debut at the 1938 Westminster Show, going from Open Dogs to Second in the Toy Group. I was there.POMERANIAN REVIEW'Ch. Sealand Moneybox, imported from England by Mrs. Vincent Matta. He was shown only once in England and was awarded Best Toy. Photo courtesy of Derial Jackson.Mr. and Mrs. Matta had invited me to come up to New York and to attend the Pom Specialty and the Westminster with them. You can imagine the excitement for a fifteen-year old boy to travel to New York by himself for his first Pom Specialty and Westminster and with the Mattas Mrs. Matta met me at the Pom Show I had spent the week before with family sightseeing and made me feel that I had always known her. The first thing she did was to hand me the dog she was holding and said, You wanted to see Orin Sahib so here he is. He was even more beautiful than I had imagined. Then she told me that I would see the new English dog later, as he wasnt to be shown until tomorrow at the Westminster. We then began to make the rounds, and I met all the Pom people there, including Mrs. Byron Hoffman, the Procters, Mrs. Frank T. Clarke Fairfax, Mrs. Sheppard Georgian, Mrs. Webber Premier, Reuben Clark Ashburn and so many others. It was good fun since many of them did not know that I was just a boy. They thought that Mr. Jackson was an old-time breeder.That night I met Moneybox, whose kennel name was Pip. Its hard to describehim-he was an orange-sable, but of richness seldom seen-the orange had almost copper tone and each hair was tipp with black. He was most spectacular. He w then about four years old and in his prin He quickly made his championship and w retired to stud. He sired at least elev champions two in England and appears most American pedigrees of today.

Some of these puppies suffer from lethal congenital defects, maternal neglect or accidents, such as being crushed in the whelping box. A large proportion of them, however, die from what is defined as the fading puppy syndrome. The syndrome is part of specific disease entities but perhaps the true fading puppy is the individual who 1 was born malnourished because its dam did not receive adequate nutrition during gestation, 2 is too weak to nurse effectively, 3 is not receiving adequate lactation, 4 is in an environment that is not sufficiently warm 5 or a combination of these factors. Unless supplementary feeding is started within a few hours of birth, with frequent weight checks to monitor progress and adequate heat is provided, these puppies become chilled, weak, and ultimately fade and die.Newborn puppies differ physiologically from adult dogs in several important ways. It is necessary to understand these differences to realize why puppies succumb rapidly to stress and to appreciate the importance of proper environment and care. They have body temperatures of 94 to 97 degrees F. for the first two weeks of life as compared to the adult dogs normal temperature of 100 to 101.5 degrees F. They do not have a shivering reflex until about six days of age and thus cannot maintain body heat. Their heart beats and respiratory rates are faster than those of the adult dog. Newborns must be kept in an environmental temperature of 85 to 90 degrees F. for the first week of life the temperature gradually decreased to 70 degrees F. by the time the puppies are weaning age. They should gain 1 to 114 grams daily for each pound of anticipated adult weight and should double birth weight in eight to ten days.Puppy SepticemiaPuppy septicemia is the leading cause death by disease in infant puppies, occurrin from four to forty days of age and, typical in vigorous puppies that were born normal] and are efficient nursers. Illness is suddei First, one puppy starts to cry. It has al dominal distention, diarrhea and may ha\ rapid respiration. Then it refuses to nurs becomes dehydrated and loses weight rapii ly. Death usually follows 18 hours aftc onset of symptoms. Another puppy become sick, then another and another. Septicemi can demolish most or all of a litter withi five or six days.It is caused by bacteria of the streptoco cus, staphylococcus, escherichia c pseudomonas types and frequently associated with metritis or mastitis infe tion in the bitch. Metritis is a uterine infe tion that may be acute or chronic. In tl acute phase, the bitch becomes ill soon aftc the litter is whelped depressed, with an al normal vaginal discharge and a temperatui which may rise to 104 degrees F. Chron metritis may not cause overt symptoms i the bitch and, in fact, may not be evidence until she whelps stillborn puppies or puppic that succumb to infection shortly aftc birth. Mastitis is an infection of the man mary glands, usually one or two painful an fever-producing for the bitch. It ca transmit bacterial infection to the litter.Sick puppies are hypothermii hypoglycemic and dehydrated. Immedial concerns are to counteract these condition Otherwise, the puppies will die too quick for further therapy to be effective. The must be taken from the bitch and the follov ing steps effectedFor hypothermia slow warming. The sic puppys body temperature has fallen to 781 94 degrees F. It must be placed in an e vironmental temperature incubator, he lamp or heat pad of 85 to 90 degrees P until body temperature has risen to norm for the infant puppy. Circulation must 1 stimulated by frequently turning and gentPOMERANIAN REVIEW8lassaging the puppy during the slow warm- lg process. Only the surfaces of the puppys Ddv will be warmed if this is not done, emperature of the newborn puppy can be iken with an infants rectal thermometer, iff. Note It may not be possible to take the emperature of a neir Pom puppy. Hold the uppy up by the base of the tail and insert re thermometer one-half inch into the rec- im. Environmental temperature can be lonitored with an inside thermometer on le floor of the whelping box or incubator, elative humidity should be 55 to 60 permit this can be accomplished by using a ome humidifier in the room in which the helping box is placed.For hypoglycemia glucose therapy. The ck puppys blood sugar must be increased ipidly and the administration of glucose lution, which is absorbed directly into the omach, is the best means of doing this, ive the puppy 5 to 15 glucose in water, rally, 1 to 2 c.c. millileters every half hour. ,s the puppys condition improves, gradual- r increase the dosage to 4 to 6 c.c. Ed. Note bout half these amounts will be enough for Pom puppy. These puppies should not be iven formula it may not be absorbed and ius may cause intestinal blockage.For dehydration water, given orally. The lucose and water therapy described above lould be sufficient. If the puppys condition extremely serious, the veterinarian may link it advisable to administer sub- itaneous hydrating solutions.Other therapy, recommended or ad- linistered by the veterinarian, may be to ive antibiotics in some cases. Gamma lobulin serum is considered effective. The wner may also be asked to give the puppies immercial formula or a few drops of very esh liver juice every few hours after they ave started to rally this is strength- lhancing.Prevention starts with a pre-breeding iterinary examination of the bitch. Brood Itches should be checked by a rotating hedule in large kennels where examina- on of every bitch may not be practical, acterial culture and sensitivity testing lould be performed on specimens removed om the vagina. These tests, however,should be mandatory when a bitch has a history of uterine infection, stillborn puppies or puppies that die soon after birth from bacterial infection. Appropriate antibiotic therapy should take place before breeding if the bitch tests positive. It may be advisable to have another course of antibiotics 48 hours before whelping and immediately after whelping. In no case should this be done haphazardly antibiotics should be given only when necessary and under veterinary supervision.Every effort should be made to have all the puppies take colostrum, the first milk produced by the bitch for 24 hours after whelping. This protects the puppy from disease for the first weeks of its life. Lack of colostrum seems to be among the precipitating factors of puppy septicemia.The bitch should be in a state of nutritional good health, fed ample quantities of a good-quality commercial dog food product recommended complete for gestation and lactation. A feeding alternative is a complete and balanced puppy food product. Its high caloric density and protein content are advantageous for the gestating or lactating bitch. Liver, one-half ounce per thirty pounds, is considered an excellent food supplement for the gestating bitch, contributing to the strength and vigor of the newborn litter.Kenneling should be clean and well ventilated with appropriate temperature and humidity. Unsanitary quarters will predispose the litter to disease.Neonatal SepticemiaNeonatal septicemia affects puppies from one to four days of age. It is caused by a staphylococcus infection in the vaginal tract of the bitch, transmitted to the puppy at birth. An unclean environment should not be overlooked as a precipitating factor in the disease.Infected puppies have swollen abdomens with bluish discoloration on the flanks. They cry, are hypothermic, dehydrated and refuse to nurse. Death occurs 12 to 18 hours after bloating and crying begins unless antibiotic treatment is started immediately. Supportive therapy heat, glucose and water asPOMERANIAN REVIEW 6previously described also must be administered.Prevention again involves pre-breeding veterinary examination of the bitch with antibiotic therapy if necessary to counteract infection. Since an unsanitary environment is frequently involved with neonatal and puppy septicemia, kenneling should be clean and so should everything to which newborn puppies are exposed. This includes attendants hands and scissors used to cut the umbilical cords. The cords should be dipped in or swabbed with iodine.Canine Herpes Virus Puppy ViremiaThis is another leading cause of death by disease in young puppies, transmitted at whelping as puppies pass through the vagina of a recently infected bitch. Puppies also can be infected by littermates or infected adult dogs. The disease is highly fatal if contracted by puppies during the first three weeks of life. Older puppies with herpes virus usually have mild upper respiratory infections from which recovery is uneventful. Susceptibility of infant puppies is thought to be their low body temperatures. The canine herpes virus has been shown to multiply optimally at temperatures of 94 to 97 degrees F., that of the neonatal puppy. It grows poorly at the body temperature of the adult dog.Affected puppies have soft, green, odorless bowel movements this the the first symptom. They may vomit or retch, have shallow respiration which becomes gasping as the disease progresses and refuse to nurse. They cry piteously and continuously.Keeping puppies in a high environmental temperature for 24 hours is the only effective treatment even this is problematical. For three hours the temperature must be 100 degrees F. The puppies need fluid, given orally every 15 minutes, to prevent dehydration. Then the temperature can be reduced to 90 degrees F. for the remainder of the 24-hour period. If the puppies survive, the chances are better than average that they will live. Treatment is not advised if a puppy already has started to cry this indicates that hemorrhaging has started and survival is doubtful. If it should live, chronic kidneydisease may develop during the first year o life.In kennels where herpes virus is a recui rent problem a preventive method is givin gamma globulin serum as an immunizin agent to neonatal puppies from dog recovered from the disease. Since canm herpes virus is spread by direct contact wit] infected dogs, urine and other body secrc tions, overcrowding in kennels is a factor ii disease transmission.Toxic Milk SyndromeIt has been reported that bacterial toxin in the bitchs milk caused by incomplete emptying of the uterus produce toxic effect in very young puppies, up to two weeks o age. Sick puppies cry, bloat, have diarrhe and red, swollen, protruding rectums.They must be taken from the bitch, placei in a warm environment and given 5 to 15 glucose in water, orally, until the bloatin has subsided. The bitch should be treatei with appropriate medication to cleanse th uterus and antibiotics to prevent infectior The puppies can be put back with her as soo as treatment has started. They should b given a simulated bitchs milk product dui ing the interval between glucose and wate therapy and being returned to the bitch.Hemorrhagic SyndromePuppies have minimal production of plasma protein called prothrombin durin their first two or three days of life. Pr thrombin is produced in the liver and, i conjunction with vitamin Ki, controls th clotting function of the blood. Without suff cient prothrombin, a hemorrhagic tendenc can develop.Affected puppies die within those first tw or three days. They are lethargic, weak an decline rapidly in condition. Signs of hemo rhage may be evidenced by lesions on th lips or tongue. Surviving puppies in the li ter should receive vitamin K. Most comple and balanced dog foods have sufficier vitamin K for growthmaintenance of no mal dogs.Other CausesWhen confronted with neonatal pupp deaths, the breeder also should consider th0 POMERANIAN REVIEWpossibility of other infectious canine liseases brucellosis, distemper, lep- ospirosis, canine infectious hepatitis and, he new diseases, coronavirus and par- rovirus.Most puppy deaths are preventible, with 1 selection of sound breeding stock, 2 a leal thy, well-nourished bitch, 3 clean ken- leling, 4 adequate heat for the bitch and itter, 5 careful supervision of puppies ear- y weight gains and 6 prompt veterinary .ssistance should puppies start to fade, cry ir have any of the early symptoms of puppy liseases.What to Look ForHealthy Puppygood muscle and skin tone round, firm plump body pink color to mucous membrane straight back and legs yawns frequently may utter a cry or two gains weightSick Puppylimp, wrinkled skinpoor muscle tonereddish-purple mucous membranepot-bellied, weak backcrooked legs, flexed neckscattered around the nestpuppies in littersplayed legscry for long periodsdiarrheaReferences1.

Keep the best and cull the rest.Occasionally in color-breeding it is necessary to use an outcross breeding to find a mate of the desired color. In this case, the offspring should probably be bred back in- bred to the parent or grandparent in the breeders own strain known to carry the gene for that color if not actually of that color himherself. This is only true of the rare colors.One last word No method of breeding can be successful unless excellent quality breeding stock is used. Although a lucky fluke can certainly happen at long intervals, it would ordinarily take the whole lifetime of a breeder to upgrade mediocre pet stock to the point of consistently producing champions. So money spent wisely on foundation stock of best available quality will pay off in the long run.REMINDERAll members of the APC desiring a certificate from the Club for Champions and Obedience Titles published in the Gazette during 1981 which were owned by you, please submit your name as owner, dogs name and month published in the Gazette to Sally Baugniet, 11224 County Highway B, Mishicot, WI 54228, BEFORE February 1, 1982.POMERANIAN REVIEW 7CLEAR CREEKProudly Announces Their New Champion... . . - a1a9.I J.CH.

JOHNSTON 3429 Oak View Drive Lakeland, FL 33803It hardly seems possible that three months have elapsed since I wrote my first Rebel Report, but a look at the calendar indicates that this is August so guess I had better get busy.Congratulations to Chris and John Heartz on their Kennel Visit. I met Chris a couple years ago right after we moved to Lakeland-a very charming person.The Real People team was in England a few weeks ago to film Maggy Hallams Poms and their palace. The tentative plans are that this will be on TV sometime in January or February. They would like Maggy to come to Los Angeles for the presentation so, hopefully, she will pay us another visit at that time. If I have enough notice, will let you know in the January issue the exact date this will be shown. Otherwise, if anyone who is interested will contact me, I will be glad to send them a note when I get the exact date.We have undergone quite a traumatic experience since the last report-PAR VO On May 25, did the cleaning and exercising as usual and everybody was fine-was back and forth to dog room a couple more times before going out to lunch. When I came back at 130,1 noticed the six-month old male sitting quietly in the corner of the pen. Around here if anyone is quiet, there must be something wrong. About that time he had a spell of diarrhea no blood and spit up a tiny bit. His litter sister and a nine-month old male were in the same pen, so I moved them, cleaned the pen and decided to observe awhile before pushing the panic button. Nothing more happened until 400, when he spit up a little more and had more diarrhea this time, with blood. So immediately we were off to the vet, where his temperature was found to be105.2. The tests were made and our worst suspicions were confirmed. Our first reaction was utter disbelief, followed by a feeling of shame that this could have happened to us after trying so hard to prevent it. These puppies had had shots at six and eight weeks of age and we were planning for boosters in May, but due to having out-of-town company, had not given them yet. Although all the other Poms had had boosters in January, the vet thought they should all be given another booster that night so he came out and did this. The littermate did not eat that evening and did not act quite up to par the next day, but we attributed it to the fact that she was grieving for her littermate as they had been together since birth. Well, as you have probably guessed, about 700 the next night she had diarrhea no blood, so again off to the vet and, again, that dreaded word. Due to the wonderful care of our vet he took them home with him at night, both puppies recovered. The male was critically ill, but the female had a very light case. In fact, we were told she possibly would have recovered with no treatment, but of course one cannot run a chance on that. We think their recovery was due to three things 1 They HAD had the shots, 2 they received prompt attention and 3 the expertise of our vet in their treatment. Of course, in addition to the worry over the two who were ill, there was constant fear for several days that more would get it. Fortunately it was confined to these two. Now, the question-how did they get it What we finally came up with was this Two weeks previously, the older male in the same pen had been to a show. While he resisted it, we think it is likely that he carried it inasmuch as we heard of several cases coming from that show. So now boosters will be given every three months. Our young puppy has had two shots and will receive another at fourteen weeks. While the general assumption seems to be that once a dog has had parvo, he is immune for life, we will not depend on this. The two victims will be given a booster every three months as the others are.The main reason I am sharing this experience with you is that, while in these two cases the vaccine did not prevent parvo, wePOMERANIAN REVIEW 7fSS^sSilSil MIDWESTREPORTbyMRS. SALLY BAUGNIET 11224 County Hwy. B Mishicot, Wl 54228This article is a hodge-podge of many thoughts. Something for everybody or nothing for anyone, depending upon whether you think or not.What with being a member and show chairman of two all-breed clubs, member of two local Pom clubs, members of two other breeds clubs working toward AKC status and two national breed clubs, breeding, showing both mine and others dogs, running my gift shop and substitute teaching no time for full time, the dogs have that all sewn up, I should have no problem thinking of things to write for this column. The problem is making the time to sit down and concentrate on doing it. The key words are making the time.How many times have you had people tell you, I dont have time, and then proceed to give all kinds of excuses for not helping with club activities What they really mean is, I will not take the time. The decision on priorities is theirs alone. Do you make the time for your clubDid you ever think of things you want to do or write about later when you make the time, jot notes for yourself and then forget where you put your notes-like I just didFrances 0. Smith, D.V.M., of the University of Minnesota Veterinary Teaching Hospital, has a veterinary practice limited to Breeders Only. She also gives seminars nation-wide. These seminars are of great interest to breeders. All breeders have breeding problems in one form or another. We who have valuable show dogs are many times able to breed problems out of our stock. After all, we evidently bred them in, there must be a way out-right She probably cant solve all the problems, but you would be surprised at the alternatives towhat you may think is a hopeless situation as a breeder. Some of your problems may be more easily solved than you think Show me a breeder who says heshe breeds Poms with no faults, and you have shown me a breeder who is either kennel-blind or a prevaricator. If your club is interested in Dr. Smiths seminar, contact her at Rt. 1, Box 55 Webster, Minnesota 55088.Since the Board has announced its decision to review our present Standard for the Pomeranian, with me as chairman, I have read some interesting articles on Standards and comments on our present Standard. Reviewing our present Standard is not something to be rushed, as I feel was done with the addition of faults as a total package rather than individually. I believe there should be time for discussion before a vote. Comments after the fact many times are useless.

Leland Carmichael and Roy Pollock, pups vaccinated while they may still be protected by antibodies from their dams may not be successfully immunized once the maternal antibodies are no longer present. Even though pups have been vaccinated at 6-10 weeks of age, it may be necessary to revaccinate them regularly until they reach 14-16 weeks of age.

Gala, as she is called, finished in five shows, placing in two of the three qualifying classes. Claudia says that the Badger State Obedience Association recently held the Annual State Obedience Championships and Gala was entered in the Top Dog division. This was two performances in one day with exercises from Open and Utility performed. She earned fifth place. Her daughter Viva, C.D.X., T.D., was entered in the Open Division and placed second. This little girl has abundant enthusiasm, which recently carried her through nine shows with eight qualifying scores averaging 195. Sincere congratulations to the Poms and Claudia-a really good trainer.More congratulations are in order now, and these go to Delora Moore of Erie, PA, whose BUFFS LITTLE VALENTINE CANDY just finished her C.D.X. Candys first leg was at Erie Kennel Club show in Fairview, PA, on June 15, 1980, at which time she took second place in the Open A class with a score of 19314. The second leg came at Youngstown All-Breed Training Club Trial on November 9, 1980, and again she received second place with a 196, and second highest scoring dog from the Toy Group. The last leg, Lori says, was the most exciting of all. This was at the Kennel Club of Buffalo in Hamburg, N.Y. on July 5,1981. She not only got first place in Open A with a score of 197, but also was Highest Scoring Dog in the whole trial. This is a great accomplishment, and we are always glad to hear when a Pom does it.Maybe you will remember the picture wewrote about of the six little Poms sitting ir front of the Christmas tree, all wearing tiny baseball hats Candy was one of them. Well this year there will be seven of them as Loris parents, Ruth and Bill Potts of Niles Michigan, now have little Moki, who is starting obedience training, too. This greal family of Pom owners must be heading foi some kind of a record. It reminds me of family of Irish Setters owners I once knew who had little family obedience matches o their own. Isnt that a good ideaSome great news about two new C.D. Poms comes from Rosalind Goltz of Scarsdale N.Y. Her Lori PENRUS FANCY FREE OF CALDOAK finished her C.D. in three straight shows with good scores as follows Windham 19614, Greenwich 19814 anc Longshore 194. She was second place in the first two shows and missed High in Trial by Vi point at both shows. At North Shore she made 194Vithird place and Highesl Scoring Pom and Highest Scoring Toy Dog At Hockamock she got a 196Vi and at Cape Cod 196. Lori also was first in Novice at twc matches and High in Match at Connecticul River Valley with a score of 198. Incidental ly, she only needs a major to finish hei championship, so it looks like there will be very busy Rosalind and Lori, as they are working hard in Open Obedience also. Lor is co-owned with Pauline Caldwell.Loris half-sister Allison CH. PENRUf PETITE SUITE OF JABIL also got her C.D in three straight shows Princeton with score of 192, Bayshore 191 and Rocklanc 196 good scores all.

Unfortunately we could not catch her in time to speak with her.We found only three breederskennels listed in either the Hong Kong or Kowloon directories, but were able to see a small German Shepherd kennel on the outskirts of Kowloon. They had nice concrete runs leading into covered quarters, very clean and all fenced with cyclone wire. Beef is quite hard to come by and must be imported from Japan or Australia, so breeders make good use of available poultry as a source of fresh meat for their dogs. Dog food must also be imported.In our wanderings, we came upon a pet shop in Kowloon quite by accident. Being naturally anti-pet shop, as far as dog purchasing, we couldnt help but be impressed by this small open-fronted shop which had walls hungs with AKC champions, colored charts of various AKC-recognized breeds, and show-type specimens often in color. However, the dogs they had for sale were the usual pet quality types but each dog had his own clear plastic, immaculate cage, complete with fresh water and his own separate piped-in air conditioning. Seeing such a spotless pet shop in the midst of a not-so- spotless city, many of whose residences and hotels are without air conditioning, was impressive.In Kowloon we contacted a charming, doll- like Chinese lady who had once been maid to my husbands family. During the course of our lunch, she asked about our hobbies and was delighted to hear that we liked smalldogs. She declared that she and her husband loved small dogs, too. To eat End of lunch, end of conversationInside the Peoples Republic of China we saw no dogs at all in any of the many large cities we visited. In Guangzhou Canton and Beijing Peking we saw a cat. Each time it was tethered to the doorway of a residence. Both cats were the same as the one we saw in Hong Kong-a short-coated tortoise tabby with large ears.We spent many hours traveling via ancient steam locomotives and Russian-built diesel engine trains, the longest trip being a miserable 2714 hours. However, we had ample time to view the many villages and fields from our compartment windows and were overjoyed to see our first Chinese dogs in this way.During our travels we always saw the same type of dog wherever we went, but in different color variations in each area. Ironically this was a Pom-looking type dog. Though not a Chow, it was about the size of a show-sized Chow, quite cobby and with the Pom-type tail held up over the back with feathering. However, none of the dogs we saw were prick-eared, but all lop-eared, which looked strange with such a cobby body and curled tail. I guess the best way to describe the head conformation would be to imagine a lop-eared SamoyedViewed from our train, these dogs were always in the company of people and usually other animals such as goats, chickens, ducks or waterbuffalo in the fields. Though we never actually witnessed them herding, we strongly suspected this was their basic use.Except for one northern city where the temperatures fall below freezing in winter, all coats we saw were medium to medium- short in length. In a mountain village we did see two pups playing in a yard and an adult lying down. These particular dogs carried a coat like a Samoyed and though others we saw from our tour bus in this same village were somewhat shorter coated, all of the dogs in this area were a sort of yellowish white in color not quite like a cream Pom but more yellowish.POMERANIAN REVIEW 8PATTYS POMERANIANS PROUDLY PRESENTSDude finished owner-handled with 4 majors, one Group First.Thanks to Bev Norris, who co-owned Dude through his show career, and to his breeder, Gertrude Jacoby.Puppies DueCH. CAMELOTS BASHFULL DUDEline-bred ShowstopperOwnerPatty Bartels 4976 Monmouth Road612 472-5950 Mound, MN 55364Since most of China has subtropical weather, the shorter-coated dogs must be more comfortable. We found these longer- haired yellowish white variety only in the villages near Peking and the Great Wall. Some of the more southern and south-central villages had solid black dogs. In between these areas we saw black and tans, a black and white spotted, and many villages had solid yellow like a yellow lab dogs. All of these dogs seemed to have the same conformation and characteristics regardless of color and all seemed to be with people, well fed and looked healthy.Visiting a farm commune outside of Shanghai, we saw a black and tan pup on a straw mat near the door of the village clinic. Everyone who walked by stopped to pat him. He appeared healthy and friendly, would greet whomever petted him and then would return to his mat. At this same commune we visited a model farm house and were permitted to ask questions of the farmer and his family. This was one of the few cities where our guides spoke reasonably good English, so when we saw the farmers wife with a blackand white puppy bitch on her lap, we smothered the pup with loves missing our Poms at home and our guide with questions. We were told that people living in the cities do not have enough food to keep pets, but since the farmers are allowed to raise their own poultry and vegetables, they have sufficient food in most cases.When asked what the dogs ate, we were told they have the same diet as their owners, mostly cooked vegetables, perhaps a few bits of poultry or fish from the village ponds. The food must be nourishing because this pup was clear-eyed, chubby and friendly, with a lovely coat texture and pink skin.We asked how a family would go about purchasing a dog and were told that one merely asked for a pup from a litter of a friend. There seemed to be only one dog per family, but they seemed well cared for and loved.Then we dared to ask the inevitable, awful question. Are these dogs raised just as pets or for food We breathed a sigh of relief at the smile on our guides face as he replied that these were all beloved family pets.POMERANIAN REVIEW12ore no's PomeraniansGot It the Way We Wanted It MORENOS CRITICS CHOICEINBEST OF WINNERSRICHMONDdog fanciers august 1981 FOX FOTOA SUPER PUPPYBred for Soundness, Type and TemperamentFinished at 15 months under the prestigious judge, Mr. Roland Adameck.

My daughter swears that she was the only kid in school who wore a choke collar for a necklace through the first twelve grades.I firmly believe that our dogs should know exactly where they stand at all times. When I train, I train firmly when I love, I love a lot. Any time that collar goes on, my dogs know that its all business. There is one exception, however. After my dogs have learned the sit, I make them work for me any time they want me to do something for them. If they want me to pick them up, they have to sit first. If I am going to give them a cookie, they have to sit first. In this way, they learn the word sit, which becomes very important later in Utility.Your dogs have now learned the sit stay and the down stay, so it is time to go for a walk. If you have a light line that is ten or twelve feet long, this is a good way to start. If not, use your six foot lead and let it out fully.Clasp your hands together over your navel Bill Koehler says the only training aid you can take into the ring with you is your navel, let out at least six feet of lead and start for a walk. DO NOT MOVE YOUR HANDS. Pick out a point in the distance and head for it. Dont say anything to your dog, just walk. If the dog balks-drag it. Youd be surprised how quickly they learn that their feet work just as well when they are on lead as they do when they are off lead. When you have reached your point, stop, let the dog catch up with you if he is not already there and praise him for being such a good dog to be at your side. Pick another point-walk to it, stop, praise-ad infinitum. It is not important at this point that your dog sit when he reaches your side. What is important is that he learn where the heel position is. Dont make your training sessions too long. Fifteen minutes of this heeling routine is enough. If you can make it twice a day, thats great. After a week of this heeling, your dog should be staying with you pretty well and you can gradually shorten your lead in preparation for the next step.I hesitate to give you too much at one time for fear that you will not give the dog enoughbasic training on each exercise. It is very important that the dog have a very firm foundation on each part of each exercise before going on to the next part.I will, however, offer one more exercise, just in case you get tired of walking in a straight line. After you have been working with a shortened lead for several days, begin to watch your dog carefully. If he veers to the left, make a sharp turn to the right and take two or three short running steps, remembering to keep your hands clasped tightly together in the middle of your tummy and also remembering not to say anything to your dog when you make the turn. Do not make any corrections by jerking the lead-let the dog make corrections by not be ing where he is supposed to be. By the same token, if your dog veers to the right, make a sharp turn to the left, with the short running steps. If he forges, do a fast about turn. If he lags, the sharp right turns will help correct that.After your training session, drop your lead release the dog with an Okay or whatever word you use for release and let him drag the lead for ten or fifteen minutes as a cooling down period. When you remove the collar anc lead, you may then do whatever you wish wit the dog, as long as it isnt formal training NEVER leave a choke collar on the dog wher you are not training it. Not only does it cut the hair, but it is also very dangerous.You will now have several weeks of heeling using the turns as I have indicated and yoi may also have some little tricks of your owr that will help keep the dog in heel position. Trj everything you think of or hear of-if it works use it. If it doesnt work, discard it and go on tx something else. There is no one technique tha will work every time for everybody, but then is nearly always a solution for every problemDont forget to practice your sit and you down stay some time each day, either in con nection with your heeling or at another, mon convenient time. I prefer to do them entirel separately.Good luck and good heeling. I know you hav good dogs.POMERANIAN REVIEW3PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS VIEWSbyERIN HUNDLEY 19101 -67th Street S.E.

This time its an obedience title. Sunswept Wee Katie of Andrews, C.D., took her owner, Linda Gallacher, through the obedience paces. Linda only made one mistake-she forgot to take Katie to the exercise area before one show, so it took four shows instead of three to get her title of Companion Dog. This is a real triumph for Linda. Some dogs are born for obedience-just point out what you want and its done. But not Katie. Katie had a mind of her own and followed it. Sit No, thanks, Id rather stand. Come You mean now But Mother, I just found a neat smell over here. But Linda persisted and Katie learned, and she even learned to like it. And theyre not done yet-C.D.X. coming up. So congratulations to all the winners.Into our lives some rain must fall, and also some tears.

We extend our sympathy to her family and friends.Dr. Charles Wilson of Naches, Washington, is saddened by the loss of his newest little Pomeranian. Smidgen of Point Loma succumbed to parvo after returning home from a dog show. In spite of the latest immunization available, she was one of the ones who apparently did not become immune. Lets all take care to keep our dogs as isolated as possible at the shows. A 30-part water to 1-part Clorox solution is considered effective against the parvo virus.

Dr. Wilson, we all understand your feelings, and hope a new love of a Pom will soon be appearing with you at the shows.From my husband Phil and me goes a big Thank You and Well Done to the San Diego Pomeranian Club for one of the best show experiences we have ever had. The show, Im sure, has been well covered in other articles, but I must say that everyone we met was doing his or her best to make us welcome. We cant wait to go to another National Specialty.

Natives of Arizona as well as the many new people who become natives arrange their schedules to avoid the torrid heat of the noon time.Since our last report, a number of our Poms have received Winners ribbons. These include Riders Don Juan, who went Winners DogBest of Winners at the Prescott, Arizona Kennel Club Show in June. Don is owned by Dora Henderson.

Our charter membership consisted of nine members. From this small number we grew in the first year to a membership of forty. We have a Constitution and By-Laws which were drawn up from a combination of the best of four Pomeranian clubs and the American Pomeranian Club. We also wrote and adopted the following creed We believe in kindness to animals and the preservationand improvement of pure breeds. We believe in supporting any individuals and organizations dedicated to the support of these beliefs. We believe in fairness and honesty with all with whom we deal.Since our club at present is state-wide it is feasible to only hold four meetings a year therefore our Newsletter is a very important part of our club as it keeps the members active and informed. This is published six times a year and since so many of our members are novice breeders we try to incorporate into each newsletter some articles ofPOMERANIAN REVIEW 93JUBILEEsendsCONGRATULATIONStoJulie Moreno for finishing her elegant male, Ch.

On the base of this trophy are five gold pla- ques-one for each of five years. When the Pom who is judged the best of this Class is presented the trophy he may take it home for a few days and show it to family and friends. Then it goes to the engraver and the name of the Pom, owner, and the year is engraved on one of the plaques. Then it comes back to the Davy house, where it is held until the next year when the procedure is repeated. At the end of the five years, 1985, it will be claimed permanently by the one who has his name on the most plaques in that period of time. We came up with this idea to promote better breeding within our state. Until three years ago very few people in this state even knew what a Pom was, butwe are buying top quality from other states and working hard to produce the very best we can. We can see a decided improvement in the past year. We are encouraging our members to get their Poms into AKC shows so that they can see what some of the finest Poms are like.I have only been breeding Poms for five years but during that time I have traveled across the country, attended many shows and met a lot of the top breeders. I have gained a world of knowledge from these other breeders and I have tried to apply a lot of what I have learned to my own Poms and have passed on the best of the knowledge tc the club members through our Newsletter.In closing I would like to ask that those oi you who may have the time to write me please do. I love to hear from other Porr lovers. We retired here eight years ago frorr Tulsa, OK, from American Airlines and I en joy the privilege of flying whenever I havs the opportunity, so I may meet some of yoi at one of the shows. I am hoping to make th APC Summer Specialty next year.

Baker, judge George Payton awarded Best of Breed to Andrews Lass by Laddie, owned by Virginia and Bernard Niehouse and handled by Dean Passe. Winners Dog and Best of Opposite Sex went to Que Sera Mountain Fresh of Bi Mar, owned by C. E. Hundley. He is now residing with us and we are enjoying him. At Coos Bay, judge Mrs. McDonald gave Best of Breed to Tomho Georgia Heatwave and Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex to Westmost BJ Ebony Trinket, a delightful little black bitch, a granddaughter of Texas, handled by Jean Sehroll. At Corvallis, judge Derek Rayne awarded Winners Dog and Best of Winners to Tomho Georgia Heatwave, owned and handled by Jessie Stephens. Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex was Westmost BJ Ebony Trinket. Best of Breed went to Ch. Damata Nuclear Reactor, owned by Fran Smith, California.At Portland, Ray Bilger gave Best of Breed to Golden Glow Loverlee, owned by Elva McGilbry and Alicia Bauer and handled by the latter. Lovely little girl. Best of Opposite Sex went to Ch. Harbins Golden Glow Happy Don, owned by Irene Harbin and handled by Sylvia. At Greater Clark County, judge William Bergum awarded Best of Breed to Tomho Georgia Heatwave and Best of Winners to Harbins Mr. Ralphs Stormy, which now makes him a champion. Congratulations to the Harbins for their homebred. Best of Opposite Sex went to Golden Glow Loverlee, owned by Elva McGilbry and Alicia Bauer.At Seattle, judge Dr.William Field, Jr., awarded Best of Breed to Pomirish Tiggers Huny Bear N, owned by Leslie Rodgers and handled by Donna Roadhouse. This little male comes down from Canada and does really well in our area. He only needs those few points to finish him. He now has two BIS in Canada. Good luck with him, Donna. Best of Opposite Sex was Andrews Lass by Laddie. At Puyallup, judge Betty Krause gave Best of Breed to Tomho Georgia Heatwave, handled by myself. We won the Group for a major and Sammy was still s puppy Best of Opposite Sex was Irene Har bins Tiffany Star of India, who now only needs a major. She was bred by Helen Kraf cik, who is no longer breeding or showing. A1 Northshore in Canada, our Tomho Georgia Heatwave took Best in Show under Torr Gately and went Best Puppy in Show, al under a year of age. Breed judge was Edc Bivin. A much appreciated win under notec judges.Our club has been doing well with twc matches, one in the spring when we had Bar bara Glasscock for our judge. With twenty one entries, Sammy did it again. Our seconc match was won by Que Sera Mountaii Fresh, owned by Erin and C. Hundley. Ou judge for this match was Penney Harney, noted breeder of Poodles, as was ou previous judge, Barbara Glasscock.Our next match will be held sometime ii August and hopefully we will be able ti work for that point show we would all lov dearly. We have a good working nucleus o people and some new ones who have en thusiasm and willingness to work, s hopefully we will have another good turn out. Everyone gives of their time to come t meetings and supports our matches wit] their time and entries. No club will come t the fore when people drop out for one reasoi or other. We must keep personal feelings t ourselves and work for the betterment of th club and the Pom. Believe me, it will com about and good Poms will go up if we keep i there and not give up to the four wind because we feel things are not as we woul16 POMERANIAN REVIEWlike them.I sincerely hope we will be seeing Mary Rosenbaum of the Bi Mar prefix back exhibiting. I hear she has some promising puppies and we need to see them. As you know, Mary now has her judging license for Pomeranians, so look for her in the future. Good luck, Mary, in everything.Sally McGilbry of the Golden Glow prefix has been in the hospital. We did get to see her on our way down to Coos Bay circuit and she was in high spirits over show news. We will be seeing her line shown now by Alicia Bauer. We all give our good thoughts and wishes to Sally and Vance for their efforts to the dog world, both in judging and breeding some of the top Poms. Our own Golden Glow Prince was a Group winner in the states and is now with Natalie Dunfee in Nova Scotia. He is still a top Pom by everyones standards and has progeny also, as has our Golden Glow Tuck, also in Canada, who has champion offspring doing their thing. So keep in there, Sally, we all love you and think about you.Along Mywaycont. from page 58supplement. After he passed his due date, he seemed to wake up and start doing well on his own. I still checked him frequently, but he did not need more assistance. He was never ill, but I feel he would have quietly died in the box with a good mother and plenty of milk without a little help.Many unexplained puppy deaths, fading puppies, etc., are starvation. Some puppies die with concerned owners, watching them carefully. They appear comfortable, are sleeping peacefully and yet they die. To prevent such needless tragedies, feel of young puppies frequently and notice carefully any changes. A thrifty infant feels firm, it wiggles when rubbed, it lifts its head and it twitches vigorously in its sleep. Dont ignore any sign of unthrifty behavior and supplement early. Toy breeders can not afford a margin for error. You can always say later, He may not have needed it but... , while a healthy baby races around your feet.I am deeply indebted to Edna Girardot for the following PomsCh. Scotia Joes Tiddly Dee Dum Ch.

I suspect they are pretty rare, rarer than they ought to be for a breed as popular and talented as ours. I personally can think of less than ten Champion-C.D.s, and I own two of those. Congratulations to Rosalind Goltz on recently finishing another one. Are there any Champion-C.D.X.s out there I would love to compile some kind of record of living, double-titled Poms. Please write to me of any you know of and include full name of dog, breeder, owner, and dates titles were finished. Ill report what I find out in a future Review.ERIN HUNDLEY Snohomish, WAIn answer to Jean Sehrolls letter in the last Review In a recent issue of The National Enquirer, I read an article on words we misuse. Some of them were always, never and everyone. When a wife says to her husband, You never take me anywhere, she is exaggerating. When he says, You are always late, he is exaggerating. When Teenager says, Everyone else is doing it, again, ex---------.In the last Review, Jean Schroll implied that a dog cannot win unless it is trimmed excessively. Not necessarily true. In the last year and a half I have finished three champions who were trimmed for neatness only, as it says in the Standard. Jean herself shows a beautiful champion who has taken the Breed and placed in the Group with very little trimming. Another local exhibitor has finished two champions who appear to be excessively trimmed because they carry dense standoff coats without much length and do looked trimmed, but in reality have just been neatened up and well groomed.True, there have been a few winners who were trimmed, but they are not all or even most of the dogs shown. Only one in the last two years, who came in from outside of our area, was scissored to an all-over sculpted look.There have been others who misuse words-the exhibitor who says, I trimmed off every hair on his body, when she meant, I trimmed off those straggly tufts of hair from around his ears and thinned some across the top of his hips. She misled the novice who heard her. I know because I was that novice. Fortunately I also listened and watched and learned to trim for neatness.Please lets be careful in our choice of word Dont say all when you mean a few, especial when, as a well known and respected exhibitor you influence so many people who take what yoi say as gospel.SOPHIE H. MAYES West Chester, PAOpen Letter to Erin Hundley, Jean Schroll amClaudia LisTo Erin Overtrimming is not a FAULT. A FAULT is a defect of conformation or tempera ment, a trait which is not in accordance with th ideal as described in our breed Standard anc which can he inherited. A MAJOR FAULT is on which the American Pomeranian Club member have designated as a very serious deviation fron the Standard.To Jean As the exact amount andor location o trimming in our breed is subjective subject to th opinion or interpretation of the observer, i.e judge, I feel sure that AKC would never approvf a DISQUALIFICATION for overtrimming However, if the wording of this paragraph were made very definite and exact, they might approv DISMISSAL from the ring for overtrimmec specimens. This would not bar those Poms frorr future competition-when the coat grew outTo Claudia Lis First of all, I believe I have seer every multiple Best In Show winner of the past thirty years and NONE of them had white chests, underparts and huge correct white plumes A few may have had lighter shadings of the same orange color, and closer inspection or comparison with a piece of white paper would have confirmed their CREAM SHADINGSIn calling White chest, leg or foot on a solid color except white a Major Fault of color, we are pointing out a gene that causes white SPOT TING-not shading. The gene S solid color has three recessive alleles. In order of dominance they are s1 Irish spotting, with few and definitely located white areas sP piebald spotting, with variable amounts of irregular white patches sw extreme-white piebald, or entirely white with perhaps a small pigmented spot on head. That our Poms carry all three of these recessives is clear when we consider that parti-color is an approved color under our Standard sP sP in genetic formula so is solid white, and the fact that we request a white blaze on head shows that the s1 gene must also be present. In its greatest extension, the Irish spotting gene gives the all-white chest and white collar, four white legs and white belly and white tail tip seen on many Basenjis,102 POMERANIAN REVIEWwith blaze on head common. This gene has also been selectively bred into Collies, Boston Terriers, Boxers, Corgis and some other breeds. In Cocker Spaniels, Parti-Color is a Variety approved under the breed Standard, but while small white spots on throat and chest are grudgingly permitted in solid colored varieties, any extension of the Irish gene is barred from the show ring. Collies are permitted to show the sw sw or all-white gene in Boxers, Boston Terriers and Corgis it is either a disqualification or an extremely serious fault. The fact that most breeders destroy all-white Boxers and Bostons at birth does not change the seemingly irreducible 9 or so whelped. Thus, Irish spotting as manifested by a white chest, legs or foot or feet-or perhaps including a white blaze on head-is considered a Major Fault because it is a mismark for a solid-colored Pom. The light SHADINGS on chest, breechings and tail plume are caused by an entirely different gene or combination of genes.1'The Inheritance of Coat Color in Dogs by Clarence C. Little, Sc. D. Howell Book House.FRED BASSETT Tulsa, OKI recently returned from a trip to Hawaii, where I judged the first Specialty of the Pomeranian Club of Hawaii. What a marvelous group of people they are My wife and I had a wonderful time, and saw some truly lovely Poms there.We were taken on a tour of the Quarantine Kennel during our visit, and being that the facilities have come under some controversy lately, I felt that I should write in with my comments. I found the quarantine facilities to be excellent. The dogs have impeccably clean individual quarters, and are fed and cared for according to the owners instructions. The staff are pleasant and efficient, and very conscientious with the dogs. The Pom fanciers in Hawaii visit their dogs frequently while in quarantine, and I can assure you are as concerned about their care and health as the breeders who sent the dogs. I was sorry to read in the April Pom Review of the death of a little Pom in quarantine, and share Mrs. Browns concern over his loss. I know the breeder personally who imported the dog, and know her to be a most knowledgeable and conscientious fancier. She was as upset over the death of the dog as Mrs. Brown must have been. It was a most unfortunate incident. Such things are boqnd to occur from time to time, but I must say that if I had Poms for sale, I would not hesitate to send them to Hawaii knowing that they would get excellent care both in quarantine and from the wonderful Pom fanciers there.BEVERLY NORRIS Pasadena, MDTo the persons whom this may concern Gossip has been spread that the reason Ch. Bev-Nors Toasted Fudge has continually been specialed is because he is being switched with his brother, Ch. Bev-Nors Fudge Ripple. This is totally ridiculous Ch. Bev-Nors Toasted Fudge is a red sable, with a red head, and Ch. Bev-Nors Fudge Ripple is a heavy sable with a shaded red sable head. How people come up with things like this is beyond me. Ch. Bev-Nors Fudge Ripple has been at Bev-Nors siring puppies, not only mine but other breeders, since the Garden in February and can be seen here any time. I have never written to Yips Yaps before but felt it necessary to let people know this is totally untrue. Its sad how people cant think of anything else to do.SUE GODDARD Houston, TXJust wanted to give some special thanks to some very special people who were especially helpful in our recent move. Vesta Ann Hall of Elizabethton, Tenn., is giving a wonderful loving home to some of my Pom kids. Tons of thanks, too, to Darrell and Olga Baker, who provided a home for those who moved with us until we could get our current residence ready. What would we do without friends like these Thank you, too, to the many who offered to help in any way possible.Obedience News cont. from page 79 Rosalind also brings up a very good point in reminding all people with very small dogs to be careful around large dogs. Of course, they should get used to being around big dogs, but it is important to keep your eyes open at all times. I notice that some of the big dogs are attracted to the tiny ones and want to get a close look at them. If the small dog should make a sudden move or maybe a little bit of a growl, there could be trouble. So, do get them used to being around all dogs, but watch it. Rosalind speaks from experience, and truly one may be very careful, but the other guy may not be. A bad encounter could set your obedience training back.BACK COVERWe are grateful to Chris Heartz for providing the lovely drawing for the back cover of this issue.
