Luzerne Cudahy, Wl 53110 414 481-5556A Rude AwakeningLast issue I wrote about the good facet of the Pom world-this month, for my final Presidents column, I write of the other side.I consider each phase of my life a chapter of a book. The book of life may be a tempestuous novel or a bittersweet short story. Such is my feeling toward my association with my Pomeranians. This chapter started over twenty years ago with words that have long since been eliminated from my vocabulary. Words such as naive, truth, honesty and innocence.In those days, the number of Poms exhibited in this area was slim and if any longtime established breeders showed up, they were eager to help a newcomer. They busily showed me the tricks of the trade while preparing their own entries for the ring. Never too busy to answer a question or demonstrate a clip of the scissors here or there What a change from the other ring where I had previously spent all my time my parents having raised and shown Working dogs before my Poms, where one had to make sure to duck for fear of getting struck with all those knife-sticking glares and comments that were so readily thrown around the ring. My teens were spent with the Poms and the friendly atmosphere that surrounded the show ring and the grooming area.Slowly, ever so slowly, this aura changed. Life has a habit of changing things-which is sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. I changed right along with everything else around me-my friends, my attitude and my dogs. A new Pom club was formed in the area and competition became keen. Soon it was not necessary to drive toOhio or Pennsylvania for majors major were plentiful every weekend. All of a sud den the motto seemed to be to avoid th newcomer-dont talk to him. If trimmec properly, his dog may be better than yours The temperature outside the ring, as well a inside, became as cold as Northern Wiscon sin on a February night.This year, as I traveled both for th American Pomeranian Club and for my owr enjoyment, I find the jealousy and animosi ty around the Pom ring growing every where, not only in Wisconsin, but all arounc the country. It seems that the Pom peopk cannot wait to start a rumor or to degrade an entry. The Board and Officers of the Clul this year have been plagued with this sort o problem all year with no end in sight.As I leave office at the end of this term, a I come to the end of this chapter in my bool of life, I long for the days of that simple truth and honesty that led me to this little hairy breed I love so much. Maybe if Im nol involved so deeply, I can go back to my little world where innocence played such a large role. Maybe I can again enjoy getting tc shows and talking to my friends, whe hopefully will be searching for this same quietness. Maybe I can help a newcomer and maybe, just maybe, I can make a contribution for the betterment of the breed.So ends this chapter.................NOTICEIn the last issue of the Review, my notice of resignation appeared. However, since the Board had not found a replacement for me as the deadline for this issue drew near, I offered to edit this final issue. As this notice is being written, a new editor has not yet been found and the Board is investigating commercial dog publication firms. Since one has not been chosen yet, material for the April issue will have to be sent to me once again. It will be forwarded to the new editor as soon as I receive notification of where it is to be sent. The deadline for the April issue will remain February 15. Ad copy from the Specialty MUST arrive on time, although some leeway can be allowed for late pictures.POMERANIAN REVIEWDESIREES POMSs 1I KNEW - KNEW - KNEW he wasnt for real - Oh, WellHappy New Year From all of us here at Desirees Poms.Im Tweedie, a non-productive 314 lbs., but I rule the roost.Blessed Events Expected in DecemberCh.

He is not only a Group-winning cham- lion with multiple Best of Breed and Group lacements, but has also recently qualified or the coveted Dog World Award of Distinc- ion, finishing his C.D. in three consecutive hows with all scores above 195. He has trains and beauty combined, earning a score if 199 out of a possible perfect score of 200 in he obedience ring at the San Antonio Ken- lel Club Show, October 18, 1981, entitling dm to receive the Highest Scoring Dog in frial award.Of course, it is apparent why he is my iride and joy, for who could not be proud of i magnificent specimen of the breed who has iroven himself in competition with nembers of his own breed and his own Jroup, and is now helping to prove that Vimeranians can compete with top obe- lience dogs and triumph in that sport as veil. Afta has a marvelous cocky little emperament, is a joy to show and train and l pleasure to watch in the obedience ing-he carries himself with the pride and onfidence of a champion exhibiting the [ualities of soundness and beauty.This little four-pound bundle of fur is co- iwned with Jeanne Gribben. My most heartfelt thanks to Jeanne, who allowed me to co- iwn Afta with her and treat him as my iwn. He is the result of an excellent ireeding by Verna Hood of Robinhood Ken- lels in Oklahoma. Afta is the son of Cham- iion Dragonflys Happy Talk, a multi-Group vinner and Specialty winner, and he is the reat-grandson of a most famous winning hampion with multiple Best in Shows, lhampion Corns Duke Dragonfly.Since Afta was shown for over a year .nd had many, many wins both in conforma- ion and obedience, space does not permit ny being able to thank each judge but I am ieeply appreciative and grateful to all udges who not only recognized his soundless, typeyness, temperament and other ireed qualities, but also to those obediencejudges who recognized his great intelligence. My special appreciation to judge Mr. Del J. Glodowski, pictured on the cover with Afta.All his obedience scores being between 19514 and 199, Afta has qualified for admittance to the Gaines Classic, and he is now in the process of preparing his owner- handler for this next giant step. His rather impressive obedience record is as follows September 20, 1981, Texas Kennel Club, Dallas, Texas score 19514 October 17,1981, Austin Kennel Club, Austin, Texas First Place, score 19614 October 18,1981, San Antonio Kennel Club, San Antonio, Texas First Place and Highest Scoring Dog in Trial, score 199 November 1, 1981, South Texas Obedience Club, Houston, TexasHighest Scoring Toy Dog, score 196November 6, 1981, Oklahoma City Kennel Club, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma FirstPlace, score 19714 November 7, 1981,Oklahoma City Obedience Training Club, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma three-way tie for Second Place, score 197 November 8, 1981, Town and Country Kennel Club, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma score 19614.AMERICANPOMERANIAN 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.

Normans first pur- hase was a male Pom for twenty-five ollars from a pet shop. He shortly hereafter heard of our dogs and was deter- lined to have a good one. We showed him a ood typey brood prospect puppy whose irice was forty-five dollars. Somehow both lother and myself were fascinated by this oy who wanted to breed good dogs after ome consideration and we were certain that lorman would be allowed another dog, he rent home on his bicycle with his first reeding prospect under his jacket. A ifelong friendship was cemented thereafter hrough our true love of the Pomeranian.'irst two Poms owned, Flame OGold and Gold llackacre Girlie, 1939We worked together later and imported everal Poms from England, among them he five-generation color-bred black, Ih. Thunder of Erimus, who was truly one of he soundest, typey Poms in the country, breeders of black Poms at this time were .lmost non-existent. Another fine import vas Ch. Wilmscote Wee Conquest, who is in he background of many of the show- finning Poms of today.I believe such a high concentration of ladleigh Poms cannot be duplicated in any . am other kennel within this country. The Rosskear Poms of Ann Winter also play an important part in the breeding program and are putting DavonShire to the front. The Passfields of Joy Saunders, too, are playing an important role in producing the finest Poms in the country.It was Norman Jerome who permitted me to maintain my own breeding program when he came to take care of my dogs and my mother when I underwent heart surgery in February of 1980. Norman didnt hesitate for a moment. He arranged for someone to look after his dogs in Florida while he came to take care of Helens mother and her Poms. How many breeders would do thisOne of the early English imports, Ch. Passfield PatriceAt this point I will turn the verbalization over to the master of DavonShire.Yes, the inspiration to breed Poms came with my very first visits to Gold Blackacre Kennel. The feeling at the time was that this could be a truly dedicated, worthwhile hobby to enter into to strive to breed and bring about a more perfect specimen, with challenges in all directions.The early learning years were probably the most difficult-1938 through the for- ties-for during this period of time a stint in the armed service was gone through a marriage developed, resulting in three children and the kennel name was granted as a regPOMERANIAN REVIEWistered prefix. A great deal of perseverance was needed, for it is no small chore to support a young growing family and concentrate on breeding and showing top quality dogs..1 lv..." ' JlZlIV- U-x.The growing family, Daryl and Burma and four PomsDuring the decade of the fifties I became acquainted with some of Englands top Pom breeders Harold Young Erimus, Robert Flavell Wilmscote, Joy Saunders Passfield, and Gladys Dyke Hadleigh, which resulted in a number of English dogs being imported and campaigned to their titles-Ch. Thunder of Erimus, Ch. Wilmscote Wee Crispin, Ch. WilmscoteyrK,Norman with two Poms, Jan and Judy, in 1955Whimsical, Ch. Passfield Patrice, and Passfield Petite, to name a few.Several yearly trips were made to Engla during the following years to further my quaintance with the English breeders and attend some of their shows. One of t newcomers to the Pom fancy in England the early seventies was Mrs. Ann Win1 Rosskear, a very dedicated, determin young woman. In a very short time she 1 campaigned a number of her Poms to t title. At the moment I believe she has sev champion males. In addition, she has t honor of being the top-winning Pom kern for a number of years, along with sevei other honors in Poms. We have been mi fortunate to have acquired several of t Rosskear Poms to enhance our breeding p gram.Two homebred puppiesone on right becar Ch. DavonShire Precious Gem.We have three very prepotent males whi we use heavily in our breeding program C DavonShire Misty Morn, who is Rosske and Cynpeg breeding Ch. Glad All Over , Rosskear, who is Hadleigh on the sires si and Rosskear on the dams and DavonShi Shining Gold, all English Hadleigh-bred.There is something I would like to say defense of the small bitch, who has be shunned so many times. Over the years have had a good number of the 3V2 pounders and I have never had any me whelping problems percentage-wise than have had with larger broods. At the mome we have two that especially come to mir4 POMERANIAN REVIEW'h. Rosskears Promised Land, 3V pounds, as had two litters of two each time. This itch whelped both times within two hours ime from start to finish. The other is ladleigh Rose Of Tralee, 4 pounds. Rosie at ive years has had five litters of one or two helps each time. She is a breeders dream. Vithout exception this bitch will get in the ^helping box, squint her eyes a few times, rith a few grunts, and there is a squirming luppy. I, for one, would never discard a tiny itch without giving her the opportunity to irove she is not useless.Unfortunately my now grown children lave no interest in the breeding of dogs here is, however, a slight ray of hope in a eventeen-year old grandson, who does show i great deal of interest in the breeding and howing of the dogs. However, at this stage if the game he also is very interested in girls md snakes. I have been most fortunate in mother way inasmuch as I have been able to etire at a comparatively early age and am ible to devote most of my time to the ireeding and showing of the dogs.While we have been in our present loca- ion for the past twenty years, the time has lome to move, for progress has overtaken us. iVhen we bought this property, it was coun- y and we had a cow pasture at the end of he street. The cow pasture has become a luge residential area, with shopping centers md all that goes with it. We have no need to fight City Hall and feel we have been lucky for the past ten years to have been able to stay with our thirty-some Poms in a cityNormans daughter and his grandson holding 1-r Ch.

We therefore will be moving in March to our country property, which is also at present county the area is all one-acre zoned and most important, it is and has been for years very animal oriented. It is known as Horse Country. We are somewhat sad in leaving a place where we have been very successful and happy we are, however, looking forward to a new freedom of not worrying that the dogs will draw unwanted attention. Kennel rooms are being built across the complete back side of the house and we are looking forward to a great many more years of breeding quality Poms.Visitors are always welcome at DavonShire. We only ask for a twenty-four hour notice so that we may arrange our schedule accordingly.A yard full of PomsPOMERANIAN REVIEWDAVONSHIRE KENNEL, REG.

The pictures for the center spread were submitted by Pat Fife of North Branch, Minnesota. Pat, an enthusiastic obedience supporter, never misses an opportunity to gain the most enjoyment from her Poms. The reindeer on page 33 is Juliet of Bonita, CD, and Santa is Hillroad Tiny Tyke, CDX, who weighs in at a whopping 2Vz lbs. Tyke is also the character cast as Holly Hobby in Drag on page 32, and is the rather ferocious- looking Pom in one of the pictures on that page. We have been assured that rather than doing an imitation of the MGM lion, Tyke is merely going one step beyond his customary smile.Pat and her Poms stand out as an example to us all to slow down and take the time to enjoy our dogs as the companions they were meant to be.

On September 20 at Hyattsville DTC he scored 18914 and at Old Dominion KC at Reston, VA, he received 19214. Mary is constantly putting herself down as being responsible for losing points here and there. Dogs in obedience competition, she says, will keep the trainer humble. Incidentally, Huggy won a plaque at Hyattsville, DTC Trial for being Highest Scoring Toy inNovice AOn October 17 at Richmond, VA, Hugg had another victory.

Nokesville, Va. 22123POMERANIAN REVIEWOBEDIENCE INCENTIVEby Tammy CarrellWe all know that in order for any dog to work in obedience they must have some incentive. There are many approaches that give dogs incentive. Some trainers use food as a reward, others use praise only, others use tough corrections if a dog does not perform correctly. In any case, a dog will perform if he gets pleasant results for correct responses and unpleasant results for incorrect responses.I have just completed a C.D. title on a Pomeranian whose incentive to perform is a round of laughter and applause. After receiving so many compliments on such a fine and happy worker, I have tried to outline my approach to his training in hopes that there will be many other happy Poms following in his footsteps.On November 14, 1981, Lenniss Red Denim Levi, owned and trained by Tammy Carrell, finished his C.D. with scores of 196, 195 and 1992. These scores were good for two First places from the Novice B class, one High in Trial and a Dog World Award of Canine Distinction.My first step, of course, is extensive socialization. Many Toy dogs seem a little frightened of strange furniture, walls, floors-anything bigger than they are. And thats everythingI started lead breaking at ten weeks of age and practiced at shopping centers, schools, training classes, and friends houses. I let as many people as I could find pet not hold my Pom puppy. I walked on every type of flooring and exposed him to downtown traffic as well as mountain nature trails, all before he was four months old.When one is socializing a puppy, he mustbe careful to make all experiences good on One mistake many owners make is petti and coaxing a scared puppy. This transm to a puppy that he is being praised for acti frightened and it will encourage more fc of strange things in the future. A good vs to avoid producing a shy puppy is to ign .the fear, act completely normal, walk ai normal speed, praise the puppy a lot walking with you and encourage him to plore. Never hold him back or pull him up or away from strange surroundings strange people. This, of course, does not ply to lead breaking. If a puppy refuses walk, then drag him. Hell learn quid what those four tiny cat-paws are forMy next and most important step is ea training. Sit, stay, come and down can taught in a month if starting with a t week old puppy. The training is do playfully and gently, one step at a time use no leash or collar at this point in tra ing since it is done without distractions a probably on the living room floor. Using leash teaches a puppy that his owner is control, not the leash. I try to connect 1 training to myself rather than the leash.As soon as my puppy learned sit whi was no longer than two or three weeks made him sit on command in front of diences at shopping centers, schools, and the other places I did my lead breaking. T secret with a Pom puppy is that they are small and so cute that everyone is ve amazed that they are capable of sitting command. So, when my puppy sat, peoi made funny noises and laughed, and r puppy learned his most important lesson I do what Im asked to do, Im the center attention The more this lesson w repeated, the more conditioned he became loving to peform. So, I then took every n exercise he learned and did the same thir Letting him receive praise and attention n only from me, but also from everyone el around, turned him into a very willing ai happy worker.When one has a dog who enjoys doing ol dience, then 99 of all problems e countered can be solved easily.POMERANIAN REVIEWEMCEES POMERANIANS CH.

There were 5'2 years between the time she completed her CD and the CDX. After the excitement of it all died down, I asked myself, Why did it take so long Some answers were obvious. Shed taken time out for three litters. I had trained and shown other dogs to six titles. But the most important factor was-1 got discouraged. Its not hard to do, and Im obviously not alone in that boat. Each year, AKC awards approximately 10,000 CD degrees. Only 3,000 go on to finish the CDX, and only 500 make it to UD That means a lot of people get discouraged. Over and over again, judges have told me that Open is the heartbreak class, and, If you didnt have humility before, Open will teach it to you. So how do you avoid this pitfall and convince yourself that you and the wee beastie CAN do itThe best thing you can do is to join a group of active, enthusiastic trainers and exhibitors. That exhibiting part is important. Some groups seem to be doing a lot of training but not much showing. There should be somebody in the group who has experience in the advanced classes. You dont have to approve of the groups training techniques. Iliey can learn from you and you from them. It is their enthusiasm and support you want. You want people wholl go with you at six A.M. to practice at a different site. You want people who will help you build jumps or make scent articles. You want folks wholl cheer as your dog clears a jump, and provide those all-important distractions. You want people who can share your failures with heartfelt sympathy and share your successes with unfeigned joy.Well, suppose you live out in the boonies of Lower Slobovia and theres nobody elsetraining in obedience for fifty miles aroun There are still things you can do to kec your spirits up. Find a Pom obedience e thusiast you can correspond with. I have friend who is training a Kuvasz in Utilit Now, THATS rare there are no Kuva UDs-yet She writes to a gal in Californ who has attempted a UD with a Kuvasz ar they share miseries and triumphs. If yc know no one else, write to Emma Heyde i me.Go to shows and trials. Even if you nowhere near ready to show, being arour others who are is inspiring. Seek out tho showing Toy dogs and ask for advice.Go to seminars and clinics. A week-end a seminar doesnt cost much more than weekend of showing and is an excellent i vestment. Even if you learn only one thir new, its worth it. I attended a Max Parr seminar a year ago which really gave me boost. Talk your kennel club into giving sui a seminar. Properly planned, such even can make a nice profit.Subscribe to Front and Finish and Q Lead. The first is an obedience newspapc the latter an obedience magazine. There y will find articles on training techniques, a for seminars and clinics, and ads describii others accomplishments.But dont give up You can do it. As loi as you and your Pom are healthy, you ju need to hang in there, every day.The biggest problem for Poms in Open retrieving. I talked to several Pom traine last summer and fall There were FOUR pc pie, not including me, showing Poms he last fall, and invariably they asked how taught dumbbell work. Alas, I have i miracle answers. On Tiara, I did a lot fumbling around but finally reached t point where shed pick it up and bring back, but wouldnt voluntarily go out to t dumbbell. Convinced she knew what wanted, I resorted to force. Rather thi fumble awkwardly with her collar, Id gr the fur at the back of her neck and hurry h out to the dumbbell. It worked. She knew meant business. Of course, she was lavish praised when she brought it back. Soon s realized it could be fun, and was worki head up and tail up. She also knew I had correction available if she was slow or if s6 POMERANIAN REVIEWlidnt look for it in tall grass. This made her eliable.When I began training Gem in Open, I lecided to go a step farther and use the ear inch. This is not an easy technique to use on l dog with tiny ears and a huge coat Im ure Koehler never had a Pom. Gem is very ensitive, and the ear pressure succeeded [uickly. After we reached the stage of work- ng on a long line, I went back to grabbing he fur at the back of the neck rather than vaste time trying to find an ear. Is this ruel I think not. No more so than using a hoke collar for other corrections, and less so han nagging a dog to death. If you have any loubts, ask my dogs. Watch them in the ing. Do they slink and cower No, indeed, "hey are happy to do what I want and they mow theyll get praised and petted.One technique thats been a tremendous lelp across the board with all exercises is the ise of food rewards. What Shock, horror, leresy Okay, lets examine some of the .rguments against food. Its insulting to he dog. Hogwash My dogs are glad to be nsulted at any time. Its bribing the dog. logs have no sense of morals. They dont see ood as a bribe, but as a reward, just like pet- ing. A food-trained dog wont work unless ies hungry. Maybe, but mine are apparent- V hungry all the time. Certainly, I dont ake them in the ring after a full meal. Who oes Ive found that my food-trained dogs re MORE reliable and obedient outside the ing and around the house than before, "rankly, I cannot understand people who re quite willing to bait their dogs in the onformation ring, but think it is shameful o use food to train in obedience. Using food, ve gotten more precise heeling, straighter its and fronts, and an overall happier per- Drmance.One problem I had with Tiara was lagging, "ood helped dramatically with this. So did a echnique called binding, which Bernie Srown advises for puppies. You lean over h, my aching back, hold the leash firmly n line with your hip, no slack at all, and eel in this position, allowing the dog no listakes, until the dog catches on. It took "iara four days.I also used food to teach scent articles. Idtried almost everything else with no success. I did not try tying down all but the scented article, as this creates more problems. A friends Sheltie quickly learned that a sharp rap with his paw to the tie-down board caused the correct article to jump. Thus he only had to retrieve the one that moved. I held a piece of greasy bologna in my hand and scented the metal article with it. Then I put out the scented article with one unscented metal article. I gave her the command. If she brought back the wrong one I took it from her without comment and sent her back. If she brought the correct one, she got a bite of bologna and extravagant praise. Ah ha Thats something she understood. And she quickly figured out that she would have to use her nose. After that we slowly progressed by 1 adding more articles, 2 including leather articles, 3 switching from strong bologna to a milder soft-moist dog food, 4 scenting my hand with the food, then scenting article with my hand thus mixing my scent with food, 5 teaching turn and sit before sending, 6 keeping food scent off articles but still giving food for reward, 7 getting other people to scent other articles, 8 giving food only after the exercise is completed. When beginning a new step, I reduced the number of wrong articles to one, and gradually worked up again to eight, thus minimizing chances for error.As of this writing, Ive only heard from one other proud owner of a dual-titled Pomeranian. Hey, come on, I know youre out there. Please write or call.POMERANIAN REVIEW^Qoreno's PomeranianspresentsTHE JUDGES CHOICENi .

Uhlands Creme Puff Delight, owned by Eleanore Uhland, is the only Obedience Trial Champion Pomeranian in the United States.On August 18, 1979, at Buckhom Valley fennel Club, my dog Uhlands Creme Puff elight became the first Pomeranian Obe- ience Trial Champion. When Puff and I ood in the Open B ring and the judge anded me the First Place ribbon, the people aiting outside the ring exploded with leering. They knew that the win gave her lough points to finish her O.T.CH. I cant scribe the feeling I had, but I have to say lat there is nothing like it.In order for a dog to become an O.T.CH. it rst must receive a U.D. degree. After that, lints are accumulated from First and icond placings in Open B and Utility. The lints you receive are based on the number dogs showing in the class. You must earn 0 points with one First Place in Utility, le in Open B, and a third First from either ass-all under different judges. It is not an npossible task to finish a dog but AKC dnt intend it to be easy, either. At this me there are only nine O.T.CH. Toy dogs x Papillons, two Shih Tzu, and one Pom.My experience with obedience and the Ultimate Title has been very positive. I never dreamed of having such a good dog but pure luck gave me a good working, loyal dog and a great companion all wrapped up in one cream-colored body. We got Puff at the age of one year as a pet because we liked her personality. She was obedient from the start, never leaving the unfenced yard and always trying to please. She and I just sort of fell into obedience training and never quit. At the time we got Puff, I was working a 2'2-pound Pom-our first registered dog-because I wanted to obedience-train something. Dusty and Puff got their C.D.s at the same time and Dusty retired to the pillow at home. Puff and I went on because I enjoyed training, the shows, and especially the people in obedience.The road to the O.T.CH. was not always easy. Puff was easy to train and received good scores until we got to Utility. Utility or Futility, as we sometimes call it-was a total disaster. I made many mistakes inPOMERANIAN REVIEW 4 -----a.3i r rp\ 'F-Vf1 -POST SCRIPT presentsPOST SCRIPTS PRIME TIMESire Ch.

I put her in the ring before she was really ready she made errors, and I paid for it later. The more she goofed the more upset she became about the whole thing. It looked as though we were going to make a career of getting a U.D. Im sure I hold the record for most flunks in Utility. If I hadnt been so stubborn I probably would have quit but while she was flunking Utility she was winning in Open B, so I plugged away.When things began to look up, a new problem loomed. A serious thyroid deficiency caused Puffs back legs to weaken so that she couldnt jump. I was about to retire her when the thyroid problem was solved and her legs grew strong again. Finally, the training and ring problems were all solved and we got the coveted U.D. in Albuquerque.I never thought about the O.T.CH. when we competed. It was just fun to show Puff because she loved it so much. She worked her best if we had an audience, especially one that clapped. She was and is a ham-turned on by her fans. Even when she flunked Utility she never bored anyone.She did it wrongwith pizazz, usually so fast some peopl didnt notice she had failed. We often got t the last jump with a great score going whe she pulled the old There is no left jump i the ring I dont care what you say. Somehow, we became a team, and after w got the U.D. we qualified in both classc most of the time. The O.T. CH. points starte and before I realized it we had sevent points. From then on I hoped and fantasize and worked for the title. She finished wit eleven Firsts and three Seconds for a total c 103 points. She had nine High in Trials i her career. Puff was the second O.T.CH. i Colorado, following the magnificent O.T.CI Goldenloes Just Ducky, a Golden Retrieve There are now five O.T.CH. dogs in the stat and one more very close.Puff is almost ten now and enjoys guarc ing the home front. We work in Veteran Class and she keeps the other dogs in lin like a drill sergeant. I have trained two do since Puff but Im sure there will never t another one as good as she is. She is ver special to me.continued on page 62POMERANIAN REVIEW12RECOLLECTIONSbyDERIAL JACKSON 752 Albion Road Columbia, SC 29205Ch. Eastney Sable Dandy Dixielands Dandy Gold Rossmoyne BuntyCh.

Little Sahib, even though Sahib was quite old see picture, April 81 issue. Currency was an orange sable like his sire, Ch. Sealand Moneybox, but not as intense a color-more orange than red-gold.

Little Sahib, bred by Mrs. Henshaw of Sealand Kennels and imported by Miss Viola Procter. Photo courtesy of Derial Jackson.Mrs. Mattas kennel now consisted largely of stock from Moneybox and Sahib and was consequently becoming very inbred. A very fortuitous thing happened. She found Dixielands Shining Gold, which was a compatible outcross. He was bred by Mrs. Margaret Tankesley, whose kennel has produced so many excellent dogs. Mrs. Matta showed him quickly to his title. He was Best of Breed at the Westminster. She then retired him to stud. He, too, was a golden orange that Mrs. Matta liked so much-very short, good conformation and movement. His head was extremely good and he had a wonderful foxy Pom expression-a really beautiful dog.

Mrs. Matta considered him the best of the Tims, but others, including me, dont agree. It doesnt matter, though, since they were all outstanding. Timsun was a Best in Show winner but unfortunately died young. The next was probably the most famous, Ch. Little Timstopper, an orange like Timsun and Shining Gold.

Pomeranian activities have never been more at a peak than now. Our great members continuously demonstrate enthusiasm for our breed, having fun and excitement promoting the breed. We enjoy a special advantage unique among breed clubs-our members truly like one another The Houston Club is blessed with very limited club and membership problems, a situation for which no one can take credit. Just one of those excellent dog environments prevailing here that we really treasure We have members working together, traveling together, showing together, competing with one another, sharing everything, with dissension extremely rare and quite fleeting when it does occur. We not only enjoy fellow members, but honest-to-goodness good friends I sometimes feel that when one member is pinched, the others HOLLERSome wonderful Pomeranian stars have recently left us, leaving painful gaps in our worlds. Death has taken Tom and Norma ORourkes precious Ch. Tonos Just Call Me Mister, an angel of a Pom, a Best-in-Show dog and a much admired and appreciated little dog. Mister was quite old and lived all his days right with Tom and Norma and leaves an excellent legacy to our breed.Another marvelous little man, Ch. Myway Duke Celou Celae, died recently after many happy years with owners Molly and Linda Miller. Celou was also a big-winning dog, a much-admired dog in the ring and a sire of notoriety. He also will be long rememberd for his contributions and his darling independent ways.A beautiful, exciting and quite young little creature had only recently come to the Houston area, Ch. Randys Gentle Jim of Jolly Wee, owned by Tim and Sue Goddard. Jim was a full brother to the beautiful little Hotshot, owned by Randy Freeh of California. We had the pleasure of having him visit in our home for a few weeks during the Goddards transitional move-time. I even sneaked in a few opportunities to take himinto the ring. He was one of those dogs evo ing oohs and aaahs from viewers-tin typey, hairy and sweet. Unfortunately, premature loss of some front teeth preclud a lengthy specials career, but many of us this area had betrothed some of our gir to him already and will suffer from this u timely premature death.We like to share experiences and some our members have had some really bizar situations develop recently. Glenda ar John Womack, some very special har working members, had a female who delay productive labor, resulting in Caesaric delivery performed to salvage the valuab litter. Only one fat baby boy resulte perfect in every respect, but the poor litt guy had surgery performed on him at birl inadvertently, of course. Weve heard various birth traumas, little nicks, etc., bi this was quite a sight to see. The attendir veterinarian zeroed in on moms tumn with the scalpel and cut not only into tl uterine wall, but right into the little guy BACK, for Petes sake The Womacks told i of this and we were surprised until meeting a few days later where we saw tl long ugly gash, possibly two inches lor down the middle of his back-and on Pomeranian puppy, that is BIG. We had r idea of the magnitude of the error The litt lamb even had several stitches to close tl wound. Matter of fact, the Womacks ai calling him Stitches. The veterinarian cai not be blamed terribly. It was obviously a honest mistake, but quite a big cut on a tir baby. I dont know whether this event is a that newsworthy, but we are no speculating as to whether or not this wi leave an ugly scar or whether hair will gro across the scar. Weve observed cuts, nick wounds, scratches, skin problems, etc where Pom skin was involved and know usually grows back nicely. However, on brand new baby like that, I dont know if tl hair will return. It will be interesting to seAnother beautiful and Pomeraniai dedicated couple in our club, David and Bol bie Gibson, recently experienced some typ of unusual infection that developed in a liPOMERANIAN REVIEWr of Pom babies. In typical Gibson man- er, they did absolutely everything right to ive the babies, keep them strong, etc. These ice people are extraordinarily good to their ogs and give superb care, so they followed eterinary advice, medicating with I think enicillin-some type of antibiotic, anyway. Tie vet administered it, saved all babies, but ne baby developed right at the injection site . completely white patch of hair, possibly wo inches in diameter in the middle of its iack Snow white in the middle of beautiful range Pom-color Obviously the pigment in he area of the injection did some trick.

School has started for the Lids as well as for this mom. Unfortunately, [ havent been getting to very many shows, either. On September 6,1 finished Marcars Sugar N Spice at the Kenosha Kennel Club Show. Of course she blew her coat so Ill have to wait to special her. The only show I have gone to since September is the Chicago International. I am planning to go to the Goldcoast show on December 13 with a new little bitch I am quite excited about.We had our September 18 meeting at our Awards Dinner. We had a pretty nice turnout and everyone had a good time. Our Awards Chairwoman, Judy Zurkowski, did a real nice job with the presentation and awards. Everyone brought gifts that were raffled off by Nadine Hersil. The dinner was delicious and so was the atmosphere.It is that time of the year again for payment of dues and the election of officers.

This year our club has decided that since it is always so busy atChristmastime for everyone, we would try something new for our clubs get-together. We are going to gather at the Luccas house November 28. That way its early enough not to interfere too much with the Holidays and still be close enough to have the Christmas spirit.With all the new vaccines for parvo, the dreaded parvo seemed to be getting somewhat under control. Yet from time to time it still seems to flair up. The other day I stopped at a friends house to pick up a cage and found that parvo had hit her house. Unfortunately, she might lose a pick of the litter. She told me that the vet had said once you have had a dog that has had parvo it is still contagious for some time later.I recently bred my two champion bitches and although they were vaccinated for parvo not too long ago, I thought I would be smart and have them vaccinated once more before breeding. Our vet told us not to vaccinate the bitches when they are in season because the vaccine seems to have an effect on their getting pregnant. These are new pieces of information to me that I thought I would pass on in case some of you did not know of this, either. Maybe some of you have other info to pass on to us if so, let us know.Hope you all have had a Happy Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year.

It is very dif- icult to explain in words the type of correc- ions that should be used. As the old saying oes, a picture is worth a thousand words so t is that a demonstration is better than a housand written words.The first thing everyone must do before hey begin any form of training is to know heir dogs. Some dogs can take anything you an dish out while others crumple at a harsh rord. Most Poms can take just about any ind of correction that is adapted to their ize and that is the key word-adapted, laturally, you cannot correct any Toy breed n the same manner that you would a [uvasz or a St. Bernard. In most cases, a lick of the wrist is enough of a correction for . Toy.Some obedience opponents have said that .ny form of forced training is cruel. They do lot, however, think it is cruel to insist that a log submit to brushing, nail trimming, teeth .nd ear cleaning, etc., yet they are forcing he dog to submit therefore, it is forced raining. Beginning obedience training is no nore than insisting that your dog submit to he lead and walk beside you. I am sure some if you had difficulty getting your Poms to ait for the breed ring-maybe you didnt all it dragging, but pulling it along on the ead amounts to the same thing.I begin my obedience training in the most entle manner possible however, I am firm, f, after a reasonable length of time, the dog till refuses to do the exercise, my correc- ions become less gentle, although never larsh. A swift, firm correction is less likely o damage the psyche of a dog than those onstant nagging corrections that dont ac- omplish a thing except to make the dog ebellious and eventually ignore any kind of orrection.I never make a harsh correction until I am ure that my dog knows what is expected of t and, again, by harsh, I mean a correction hat is adapted to the size of the dog. A flick .cross the nose with two fingers is harsh mough to impress upon the dog that it mustgo down on command. I am a great one for pulling hair on Poms. For the most part it is next to impossible to find the collar quickly enough to make an effective correction. However, a little tuft of hair just under the chin works wonders. I also use hair on the larger dogs but it is a larger tuft and a harder pull.I also use the ear pinch if necessary for the retrieve. However, I do not pierce the ear. I heard a lady at one show say that Bill Koehler advocates pinching the ear for seven days whether the dog needs it or not. Of course, that is ridiculous and that is why it is so difficult to put corrections into words. Everyone interprets the written word differently.I use the Toy pinch collar on the Poms for two reasons. First, it is much easier on the coat. It does not cut or wear away the hair. Second, you make absolutely no corrections yourself. If the dog gets out of place in the heeling, it makes its own corrections and soon knows where the proper heel position is.The best kinds of corrections are those that are made with common sense. Read all you can-listen to everything you hear-try those methods that make sense to you. If it works, use it, if it doesnt, discard it and try something else. Dont let any so-called expert insist that you do something with your dog that you know will either upset it or that you can see no intelligent reason for doing. Too many people will take something out of context, decide it is the gospel and must be used on all dogs. Dont follow anyone blindly.Use your head and then use your lead.ARTICLES NEEDEDSincere thanks to everyone who took the time to send obedience articles for this issue.With a future editor for the Review still undetermined, we must once again ask our readers to submit articles for April. Since that issue is sent to over 200 judges licensed for Poms, please help make it a successful and interesting one.POMERANIAN REVIEWPOMIRISH KENNELSPomeranians Norwich TerriersOur Twentieth Homebred ChampionV-3'mOfCH.

They finished Highviews Moon Jlow in the states, then took her up to Janada and came home with five points, a Jroup Third and a Group Fourth. Rose vants everyone to know they did not quit showing. Finishing a Pom sure does give a nerson the boost to want to start showing mother Pom. Pretty soon dog shows are in our blood and you cant stop Canadian dog shows are fun. If you have never tried them, vhy not give it a try Ann Welshinger and I loth have finished champions in Canada, rhey have several things different from our shows. One thing that I would like to see AKC adopt is giving points for Group placements. In Canada, points are given for lefeating a specified number of dogs in the Croup, not just for a First in Group, but also i second, third or fourth Group placement. AKC seems to be changing for the better, slowly but surely. Maybe some day they will effect this change. It is certainly a well- ieserved one.Elisabeth Spillman wrote from Sweden to tell us that Am. Ch. Pomirish Sports Swedish Lady earned her first certificate ofs mthe three needed for a Swedish champion in her first Swedish show, going Best of Breed over an English import male, a Swedish champion male and a Best-in-Show winning female under a Canadian judge. Congratulations, Elisabeth, from across the ocean.I have seen articles written about breeders who do not reply to inquiries from people who write to them. I have not read much about breeders complaints about those who inquire. How many breeders have replied to inquiries about puppies or adults they have offered for sale and not been given the courtesy of a reply from the inquirer as to whether or not they are interested The lack of the inquirers reply encourages the breeder to not reply when what is asked for is not available. There is really no excuse for either of these conditions to exist, but the prospective buyer must share some of the responsibility also. I had received a letter from someone wanting to know ALL ABOUT the Norwich Terrier. Not having time to write them a book, I referred them to publications offered by the National Club. Some requests are impossible.Have you had someone interested in a Pom make arrangements to meet you at a show so you can save them hundreds of miles to your kennel and have them not show up with no advance notice If the breeder makes that extra effort to save a prospective buyer a trip, the least the buyer could do is to notify the breeder if he is unable to be there.I have had breeders tell me about people who have requested pictures and pedigrees and not return them when requested to do so. It is not easy for some people to take good pictures of their dogs. Many times a roll of film is used before one picture is good. The prospective buyer has a duty to return them when asked to do so.Just a little courtesy is suggested for the prospective buyer. Many breeders are very thoughtful of the prospective buyers needs. We hope the thoughtfulness works the other way, too.THE DEADLINE FOR APRIL IS FEBRUARY 15thPOMERANIAN REVIEWPACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS VIEWSbyERIN HUNDLEY 19101 -67th Street S.E. Snohomish, WA 98290Golden Glow Poms have been a familiar sight in the winners circle for many years. Sally and Vance have bred and shown innumerable winners. Now a new name goes up with the old ones-Golden Glow Im a Warrior, handled by his best friend, Alicia Bauer. TimTim was awarded Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best of Breed from the classes, by judge Mr.William Kendrick, over specials including one Best-in-Show winner. He later was given Group First. The show was the Olympia Dog Fanciers Association, Inc., Sunday, October 11, 1981. Best of Opposite Sex went to Winners Bitch, Tiffanys Star of India, who was bred by Helen Krafcik. Indie is now owned and shown by Irene Harbin.At the Sammamish Kennel Club Show, August 23, judge Mr. James Cavallaro gave Best of Breed to Winners Dog, Andrews Laddies Trailblazer, who is owned and bred by Clyde and Phyllis Andrews and shown by Clyde. No females were shown.Another area breeder-exhibitor has earned special notice. AKC has added Pomeranians to the breeds that Mary Rosenbaum is licensed to judge. Mary has an excellent reputation as a breeder and judge of Brittany Spaniels. Breeding and showing Pomeranians also are an important part of her life. She and her husband Byrl live with their two sons on a mini-ranch of two acres in Federal Way. When they are not busy working and caring for their dogs they raise show horses. Its always the busiest people who do the most.The Columbia Pomeranian Club is preparing for their Winter Specialty, which as usual is being held in conjunction with the Portland Kennel Club Benched Show, December 6, 1981. We in the Northwest enjoy this show especially because it gives us a better opportunity to get to know oneanother and to see all the lovely Poms tha are shown.The Puget Sound Pomeranian Club is stil active and working toward AKC approva for an A match. We are often asked why i is taking so long. Many things have cor tributed to the delay. The major problem, at cording to AKC, is lack of membership. W have had a certain turnover. Some of ou original members have retired fron breeding and exhibiting. Some have move away, some have just become bored. Its call ed Dog Club Ennui.As the economy of the Seattle area i, dominated by a large company, people seen to come and go as this company expands o declines. The loss of a large contract cause cutbacks, not only there, but in all in dustries which serve the public. Many peopli simply have to move away to survive. Aftei the last major cutback, it was so bad tha' billboards displayed signs which read, Wil the last one to leave, please turn out th lights.Another problem unique to this area is th geography. Our beautiful mountain range and large bodies of water, which stretch foi miles north and south, confine our popula tion into a narrow strip of land. Downtowr Seattle, at its narrow point, is two miles wide, and is squeezed in between Pugel Sound and twenty mile-long Lake Wash ington. The city bulges out to a whopping eighteen miles wide at the north and south ends of the lake. Our two lake bridges arc the scenes of mammoth traffic jams during rash hours, but do extend the populated area into Bellevue, Kirkland, Bothel and Renton, which are again confined to a north-south strip of land by another large body of water, Lake Sammamish. East of that is the Cascade range of mountains.Bremerton and Port Orchard lie seemingly nearby to the West, but because of Puget Sound are really many miles away by car or ferry. Tacoma is thirty-seven miles to the south Everett is thirty-four miles to the north. What has this to do with membership in a dog club Lots, when you are trying to meet AKCs 30-mile limit.

Ch. Topaze Lucky Little Toto had been the constant companion of Mrs. Bertha Yeaton for all of his 1214 years. Bred by Francis and Mary Casey, Toto was Winners Dog at the APC Specialty in February, 1971. Bertha, a teacher, brought Toto into her classroom when he was three months old, and he helped her teach her children from that time on. When Bertha retired a few years ago, she and Toto moved to Auburn, Maine, where they enjoyed the quiet life together. Toto was an enthusiastic demonstrator for the New England Dog Training Club, although he was a bit too independent to behave in the obedience ring. To round off his show career, Toto and Berthas granddaughter competed in Junior Showmanship together, an area where Poms are too seldom seen. We extend our sympathy to Bertha, whose life is a great deal richer for having been loved by Toto.Ch. Emcees Solid Gold of Jabil, eo-ownedby Jessie and Barbara Young and Rosalind Goltz, finished his championship at the Ramapo Kennel Club Show in October.

West Reisterstown, MD 21136 301 833-8468Pacific NW cont. from page 5530-mile strip is something else.However, several very successful B matches have sparked new life. The production of many quality puppies by area breeders has brought out new exhibitors. New goals among the officers and members of the club dwell on our need to develop more as a group of breeders, cooperating to improve the breed, and less as individuals competing for top honors. New members are assuming responsibilities and learning the skills needed to breed, train, and show their new Poms. Old members are sharing and learning right along, also. I feel sure that an A match cannot be too far away.BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AT THE 1982 SPECIALTY62 POMERANIAN REVIEWYIPS YAPSBONNIE ANDERSON Latrobe, PAOther breeds such as the Pekingese have a monthly magazine. Why cant we Or at least every other month. Also, have two editors taking every other month, etc. There would be no such thing as getting materials gathered to be in on time, because the next issue would be rolling along soon. I feel Im right. Lets hearDESAREE SANDIFER Gastonia, NCSince writing about expecting four litters of puppies in June and July, I feel that a word about what happened is in order. First, in my ignorance, I thought that Faith had been immunized for kennel cough. This was not true. I entered her in a show and she brought back kennel cough. Again I was very foolish and did not separate her from the other dogs. With four bitches within two or three weeks of whelping, I knew I was in real trouble. To make a long story short, I lost nine puppies out of ten. I asked my vet if they should be taken away from the mother when born so that she could not transmit the virus by grooming the puppies. He said that he really didnt know, but that the puppies probably had it in their blood already.The one puppy I saved was taken away from the mother immediately, groomed by me and bottle fed. She is now a seven-week bundle of joy. Ed. note Mrs. Sandifers letter was received too late for the October issue, so the puppy referred to is much older now. Some of the other puppies lived two or three weeks but soon started having runny and stuffy noses. Little by little, they stopped eating and just faded away.SOPHIE H. MAYES West Chester, PAIn reply to Margaret McKees question about champion Poms with advanced obedience degrees, here are some statistics as known to me.

We received responses from 163 members, 162 of whom were emphatically in favor of Roberta continuing as editor of the Review. All responses were forwarded to the Corresponding Secretary.O.T.CH. cont. from page 41I would like to encourage all Pom owners to show their dogs in obedience. They are great working dogs with spirit and class. If Papillons can do it, so can Poms. We need more advanced dogs and hopefully more O.T.CH.s. I know there are those out there who can do it. It takes time, money and patience, but it is worth it. I had the Denver Metro Pom Club, our local obedience people and obedience people from as far away as Albuquerque rooting for Puff. We are a close-knit group and the championship would not have been the same without their help and encouragement.So get with it, Pom owners of America, Ill be watching the Gazette for big and important things.POMERANIAN REVIEW 6cINDEX TO ADVERTISERSPageDick and Sally Baugniet.............................................................................................20,5'.Ruth
