All these wins have been accomplished since he started his specials career in April, 1982. It does not compare however, to actually seeing Duffie perform in the ring. He fairly bubbles over with enthusiasm quickly catching the judges eye and the admiring glances and applause from ringside. This personality, so typical and important in our breed, has been especially appealing to breeder-judges in awarding Duffie the top spot in the group. However, all-rounders have not found him lacking in the soundness and movement departments either, and have proudly presented him with the blue rosette.In the midst of this active show career Duffie has found time to entertain a few ladies and his youngsters will be following in their daddys paw prints soon.Duffie is only one of several group and specialty winners produced by the well known B.I.S. and specialty winner, Ch. D-Nees Darin Dinadan.We thank Duffies friend Jackie Liddle for her excellent care and presentation of this special little dog.Duffie will accept visitations from ladies whose owners are geniunely concerned with preserving soundness as well as type and coat in this great toy breed.All inquiries should be directed to Jackie Liddle, Member P.H.A., 15630 Ridgemont Avenue SE, Prior Lake, MN 55372 612 447-4901.Story by Linda George, Chihuahua breeder and Duffies good friend.Yips and Yaps.........................................93Circulation Manager...............................95Index to Advertisers............................... 95POMERANIAN REVIEWBLANCO-GRYDER POMERANIANSproudly presents0-'r, 2.jirCh.

If you missed this Specialty, you eally missed a dandy. The small Phoenix lub left no detail undone over the entire hree-show weekend. We were greeted by lowers in our rooms and it got even better is it went along. The Hospitality Room was illed, not only with fellow Pom enthusiasts md great conversation, but with a lavish pread of the most delicious and attractive irrangement of food, complete with hampagne fountain. The fountain sat atop . table covered by the magnificent landmade trophy tablecloth bearing the lub name and emblem. This cloth was ruly a work of art, representing four nonths of labor by Phoenix club member arol Bulicek. Interestingly enough, the hoenix club has many members who do lot breed Poms but have other breeds yet hey were willing to dedicate so much time nd effort to ensuring a successful Specialty.The Specialty itself was a spectacular ight in more ways than one. The show site as a huge, flat grassy park with mountains i the background providing a most icturesque setting. The Poms themselves eeded no help in keeping our attention owever. Competition was tough, with tany good dogs in each class. Most npressive to me was the almost complete bsence of the overtrimming that has ecome so widespread in other areas of the ountry. So many natural, beautiful Poms tade a stunning sight.The dinner that evening, complete with lalloween witch who distributed doggy oody bags for us to take to our Poms, wasdelightful climax to a wonderful day. 'hank you, Phoenix, for a marvelous time nd a marvelous Specialty.In October the Board was pleased to welcome Wanda Roach as APCs new Corresponding Secretary. Wanda replaces her husband Dudley, whose increasing workload and travel commitments made it difficult to keep up the very time- consuming job of Corresponding Secretary. We thank Dudley for his service to the Club and are grateful to Wanda for being willing to take his place.At the time of this writing, we have had only a few offers of items for the Craft Boutique at the February Specialty. We must have many more to make the Boutique a reality. Remember, all proceeds will be given as an addition to the Clubs yearly donation provided for in our Standing Rules. Please do what you can to help the Club help our breed. If you can offer any items for us to sell at the Boutique, please contact me immediately.We are looking forward to another exciting February Specialty. This year I would like to thank Show Chairman Fred Bassett in advance for all the work he and his committees have done on this and past specialties to ensure their success. It takes a lot of work to put on a good show, especially in a national club with so much distance between show site and working committees. To have someone willing to undertake this job year after year is quite remarkable. Going to New York is an expensive undertaking, admittedly, but the events and the memories all make it worthwhile. I hope to see many of you there.In this, my final Presidents Message, I would like to thank the membership for its overwhelming support during this past year. I know the 1983 Officers and Board can depend on your support as well.Do you have an idea for a project you would like to see the Club undertake for the benefit of the breed Let us hear from you.POMERANIAN REVIEWJabilCh.JabiVsSimply SinfulWinner of eight Toy Group Firsts this summer.His eight month old daughter, Jabils Simply Scrumtious, won a major at her first show, Albany K.C., October 23.Rusty is at stud to discriminating ladies who want something Sinful in their lives.

Mrs. Fancy seemed to enjoy her assignment and was very patient with the large entry, especially the many semi-trained puppies. Her Open Dog class of 11 posed her most difficult decision and she kept us in suspense as she shifted the dogs until her final decision in favor of Gold Gems Dragon Cream Puff was made.

One was forgotten for a moment and didnt get back into the ring. The photographer got several group pictures that looked like they should be exceptional.Although a very small club, the Pomeranian Club of Greater Phoenix has the support of many other breeder friends on whom they relied heavily. Marsha and Tom Buckendorf are the founders of this club and contributed to the success of this specialty as did Isabelle Gryder, the club secretary. Dora Henderson, president, is their guiding light and the one whom the others frequently insisted, We did it all for Dora.One of the main focal points of the festivities was a gorgeous table cloth which represented hours of painstaking work by Carol Bulicek, featuring Pom figurines filled with thousands of hand sewn sequins. Carols breed is Chihuahuas. Her mother, Mae Bulicek has also supported all the club functions and was largely responsible for the delicious hospitality treats. Alice Zink, also in Chihuahuas was trophy chairperson and the trophies were silver plate and crystal wine glasses with Pom etchings. Best in Sweepstakes won a gorgeous hooked rug with Pom figurines, also done by Carol Bulicek.Immediately after the Pom judging, a delicious luncheon was served by Cookie Nanni Shih Tzus, Minnie Swartz and Gloria Barton. Frank Nanni gave support on all activities. Linda McClanahan Yorkies was a very busy and lovely hospitality chairperson. She was ably assisted by Alesha Herren. Ann Barton, Missy Gryder and Dawn Nanni were dinner hostesses. Dora Marlow and Teasia Hill were luncheon hostesses. In addition the P.C. of Greater Phoenix wishes to thank Brooke Albright Chihuahuas and Jean and Ron Graham Maltese for their financial support.Parent club officers who were able to attend were APC president, Roberta Massey of Houston, Texas and DanPOMERANIAN REVIEWMercer, Treasurer, from Big Springs, Nebraska.The day was capped off by a sumptuous banquet at the Ramada Inn. As it was Halloween, two witches made an appearance and delivered doggy goodies. The P.C. of Greater Phoenix truly thought of everything Even the bouquets of beautiful chrysanthemums on the tables were given to lucky winners.Im sure all of us who were lucky enough to be in attendance will remember this specialty as EXTRA SPECIALJUDGES CRITIQUE by Sweepstakes judge, Olga BakerIt was my pleasure to judge the Sweepstakes entries at this marvelous show, the Parent Clubs Summer Specialty, hosted dynamically and perfectly by members of the Pomeranian Club of Greater Phoenix, sort of a fledgling group of enormous talent, energy, determination and fortitude. These fine hard-working club members left nothing undone . . . flowers were in guests rooms upon arrival, hospitality and good food abounded the evening before the show in a special hospitality room, the show ran smoothly and efficiently, as did the lovely after-show dinner, with special surprises for all attendees.Sweepstakes entries were extraordinaryI am a great fan of sweepstakes events and was delighted at the very large entry of quality children and impressed that puppies were beautifully groomed, nicely presented, even well-trained well, most anyway As usual, puppies tend to behave like puppies ... so a few renegades balked, or turned cartwheels, or otherwise embarrassed owners however, happily almost ALL behaved like little show dogsThe show and its associated events will be otherwise covered in this issue of your Pom Review. Ill recap for you the major Sweepstakes winnersThe big stars were Best Puppy in Sweepstakes Olivia CF, owned by Lola Field and Howard Field ... a real black beauty with beautiful short body,adorable and correct head, with expressi easily seen and apparent a bit of a proble in blacks. She seems to be right on counts, showed herself keenly, and asked canine-fashion for the judges favor, ai received it.A tough competitor and contender was marvelous young male, flashy and a solutely correct, Tellez Simply Gold' Dancer, owned by Tony Tellez. T1 sparkling youngster had a special lo usually reserved just for champions, ai this one will claim that title very, ve quickly Ive no doubt. He had a look every hair being right where it should t with structure to match He was Best Opposite Sex to the black girl.Class Winners were Puppy Dog 6-9 Pomirish Lil Guys Dbl Proof, owner Sal Baugniet.

Mishicot, WI 54228POMERANIAN REVIEWTrick Dogs in The Breed RingTraining Your Dog for the Breed Ringby R.U. Ready K-9 Press 1.00by Betty SchuelerR.U. Ready has done it again. In his test book on show dog handling, Mr. ady rips off the veil of secrecy which has ng surrounded the art of successful show g handling, and gives us an intimate look how the Pros do it. Mr. Ready takes a rrible chance in writing this book, of ienating the other pros who have fought ng and hard to keep their secrets ncealed from the breeder-handlers that ow against them in the Breed ring. R.U. iadys book will change all of that. As r. Readys book is bought and read by eeder-handlers all over the country, a volution will sweep the dog world, and no nger will the breeder-handlers have to ay second fiddle to the Pros in the Breed igThemain theme of R.U. Readys new ok is that you cant win in the Breed ring lless you catch the judges eye. Mr. Ready pouses the theory that most of the Breed dges today have seen so many dogs that ey have all begun to look alike to them, eryone has seen the Breed judge that leeks the bitches for testicles. These dges are so jaded they wouldnt know a od dog if it came up and piddled on their g. It is obvious that these judges have me numerical way of placing the dogs ssuming they dont know the handlers ich as 1st place to the first dog in the ring id so forth. Other judges prefer more btle placements like 1st to the handler earing green 2nd to the handler wearing d, etc. Obviously, it is going to take an lusual dog to catch their attention and ld it. R.U. Ready shows us how to train at dog.In order for the novice to understand hich technique to use with which dog, Mr. eady has broken his book up into lapters. Each chapter covers a different .ult such as excessive shyness and gives u two or three tricks you can use to cover d the fault. By applying Mr. Readystechniques, even the most novice handler can show his dog in a manner the judge wont soon forget.The first chapter covers tricks for dogs that wont show on the table. Handlers of Shelties will especially appreciate this chapter as everyone knows that a normal red-blooded Sheltie hates the show table and will not put its ears up for love or money. It is also a well known fact that there are all too many judges that will not put up a Sheltie that wont use its ears on the table. This is the beauty of Mr. Readys technique. He shows us how to survive the table by giving us ways to taking the judges mind off the dogs natural fear of the table and focusing it on something more interesting.One way you can accomplish this is to teach the dog to hit the deck every time you put it up on the table. This is easy to do with a Sheltie. To further insure the judge wont notice the dogs reluctance to use its ears, you can teach it to put its paws over its ears, thus hiding them from sight. The theory here is Out of sight, out of mind. The judge will be so busy trying to get the animal on its feet that he will forget to check to see whether it will show or not.Another table trick is to teach your dog to take a long running start and jump up on the table right as the judge is coming back from watching the last dog gait. If the table is on a slick surface and arent they always, the dog should manage to propel the table forward about five feet or so. As soon as the table comes to a stop you can teach the dog to jump down and stand ready for the individual gait. The judge will be so cracked up that he will in all likelihood forget to go through the individual examination. This trick is a must for handlers who have to load their dogs ears and dont want to get caught at it.If you show in California, you can teachPOMERANIAN REVIEW 1MODEL KENNELSm-5- 5Mr5iCb.

Simply each your dog to shake like a leaf as soon is he is put on the table. By the time the udge comes over to examine him he should e shaking so hard that even the floor is quaking a little. The judge will feel the remors and run for cover, thinking there is oing to be an earthquake. Meanwhile, you an unobtrusively take your dog off the able and go stand at the end of the line. By he time the judge returns he will be too mbarrassed to notice you and your dog are ong gone. The other exhibitors, not being ible to feel the tremors, will be too busy alking about the crazy judge to notice what rou are doing. As with the other two tricks, ihelties take to this routine naturally.The Drop and Crawl routine is a great .ttention getter in the Breed ring. You use his routine when you want the judge to [Otice you and your dog. It is an excellent outine to use if you notice the judge tends o drift off during the individual gaits. You hould be able to tell this by whether the udge puts up dogs that can move or ones hat trip all over themselves trying to get round the ring. For the judge that is a leeper you can train your dog to gait lormally during the individuals, and then hen you give the command, teach it to rop to the floor and crawl the rest of the ay on its belly. The laughter from the pectators should wake the judge from his everie and you should then have the adges undivided attention for awhile at ast.Another mind-boggling routine is the Cartwheel. In this routine you teach our dog to turn cartwheels while gaiting. f this fails to catch the judges attention ou can also teach the dog to Scream hile doing the cartwheels. The com- ination of the Cartwheel and the Scream really has to be seen to be ppreciated. It is a masterpiece.The routine I liked the best in Mr. Leadys book was the Leg Climb. This rick involves teaching your dog to climb up our left leg as soon as you enter the ring. hile the dog holds on with all four paws, ou gait around the ring instead of the dog. f you practice this routine well in advance, ou should be able to gait around the ring 'ith only the hint of a hop. I guarantee this Dutine will bring the house down, thusEDITORIALHappy New Year to all I hope you enjoy this first issue of 1983. There are some beautiful dogs advertised and I was thrilled to see so many ads. Along with the ads came many complimentary letters on the appearance of The Review. I couldnt be happier Keep those cards and letters comingIn October, I attended the Summer Specialty and truly enjoyed meeting so many famous Pom breeders who had previously only been faces in The Review. As you will read in the reports, the show was a smashing success and everyone had a great time. One thing you wont read in the reports though, is what nice people Pom folks are. You congratulate each other, ask about each others dogs and are warm and friendly to outsiders. Im sure everyone has an example of when that wasnt true, but I assure you things are significantly different at your ring than they are at many others. Stay as nice as you are, Pom people. Its a pleasure working with youI also enjoyed watching the dogs and Im anxious to learn more about the breed. I hope that by printing articles on interesting subjects, although about other breeds, you will respond by writing articles about Poms. If you need ideas for articles, Ill be happy to help. I have lots of questions about the breed, so Im full of ideas. Let me hear from you.Thank you for making me feel welcome at the Specialty. Ill close now and let you read on and enjoy this issue . . .insuring the judge will remember you and your dog when he goes to make his final selections.I wish I could tell you about all of the wonderful routines R.U. Ready includes in his book, but then I would spoil it for you. I can tell you that all of the routines are truly spectacular when performed right. Be on the lookout for this book the next time you are at the shows. It could change your whole show career.POMERANIAN REVIEWfrom all of usS^vJohnand Christine Heartz P.O.

I do so appreciate any corres- indence.A note from Ted and Kathryn Birk ought the news that at the 1982 Annual eeting of the American Dog Owners sociation at Hartford, CT, the Board ited to give an annual Distinguished rvice Award and Kathryn was unani- ously selected for this award, the first of kind. They further voted to name this ard the M. Kathryn Birk Distinguished rvice Award, and will be made every year a worthy member of ADOA. The esentation was made at the Fort tuderdale Dog Clubs Annual Awards ight on August 14 by Vice President Ted rk. This was the first Kathryn knew of it id she was extremely happy. She received standing ovation from the well-over 100 ople in attendance. What a lovely tribute a lady who has performed outstanding rvice to the organization.Have had two nice letters from Terri oebuis of Baltimore. She had read of my perience giving the hormone shots and e bitch conceiving so late in her cycle. She as telling of a bitch she had obtained id been owned by two other breeders, oth had bred the bitch twice with no iccess. Being very determined, she decided ' breed her from early to late every other ly 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th days. On the 1st day, she noticed her champion was ry much interested in the little lady, hinking he might know something Terri dnt, she bred them and it was from this reeding that the bitch conceived. I really lieve now I was always breeding mine too irly and that the hormone shots may not ave been a factor after all. Who knowsA nice letter also arrived from Pat Melton of Bel-Mei Kennels in Douglas, GA. I had reported a 4 point major for her Bel-Meis Pricess Dawn at the Spartanburg show on July 30. I did not realize that this win completed her championship. Congratulations She was telling of her two 8-month old puppies that are moving right along. Bel-Meis Tawny Tiger went Best of Opposite in Atlanta for BOW and 1 point and in Macon was BOS for 1 point. Her littermate, Bel-Meis Tioga Tiger went Reserve in Atlanta and Winners Dog for 1 point in Macon. She said their sire and dam are Ch. Golden Glow Peter Pan and Coys Fancypepper Jean. This was very interesting to me, as Coys Fancypepper Jean was bred by Jim Coy my brother-in-law. Pat also said that Harry Pennington got one point on his male, Mixons Roudy Razzmatazz at that Atlanta show.The Coys lost another of their old champions in September Ch. Skylark Sissy of Murville. In about 17 years in Poms, Sissy was the all-time favorite and the house pet for many years. She is greatly missed.The January shows will be along before we know it.

Dolly already owned two silver Toy Poodles and had plans for breeding and showing. One of their early Toy Poodles, the apricot Ch. Pood-I-Man Pretty Peggy, was a frequent variety winner during the early 1960s, often coming up against Porter and Dickey Washingtons famous Pom, Ch. Ryders Sparklin Gold Nugget. That Pom made a lasting impression on Dolly, who describes his movement as like a leaf blown before the wind a description of ideal Pom gait once given by an old-time breeder.The desire to own, show and breed black Pomeranians was lit when the Trauners saw two black puppies at the home of their close friends, Julie and Gonzie Moreno, late in 1968. Not long afterward the Trauners were offered a four month old black female . . . and the rest is history, as the saying goes.fiAmer. and Can. Ch.

The second rgery to spay her followed the Caesarian less than a week and was too much for r system, further weakened as it was by e infection. It seemed that the Trauners pes to establish a line of brown Poms id come to an end.Esther Fields, a Pom breeder in klahoma, had become ill and needed to sband her kennelful of dogs.

Then Esther mentioned e also had a brown bitch she had bough om Lennis Raines which also had to be Id. Lenniss Creme de Co-Co-A,A K'simmys grandson, Ch. Phyner Night Editor so called Gordo.Cokie, quickly joined the Trauners as a replacement for Kissy. This was in 1979, and Cokie was already nearing two years. Cokie has been shown a few times and gained some points, but her value has been in production. Bred only three times, and each time producing a singleton, only two males were raised. The first, sired by Ch. Queenaire Gambling Dude, the Roachs prepotent stud, is Ch. Phyner Black Sombrero Sam. The last is a brown, Phyner The Browning Version Toro...Ch. Phyner Black Sombrero also called Sam by Ch. Queenaire Gambling Dude, ex and the chocolate bitch, Lenniss Creme de Co-Co-A.Sam Gordo ex Cokie has already been proven and his pups are most appealing. One litter out of an orange bitch contained two promising cream or light orange pups. He managed his stud duties between finishing in seven weeks with a 5-point major, handled by Nadine Hersil, and resuming a Specials career with 8 Breeds and a Group placement also handled by Nadine until he went into his adolescent shed and came home in September. Sam must be carrying the brown gene from his mother, and he is being worked into the Phyner breeding program.Lorene Bradbury, who with her husband, Brad, maintains her Pom kennels in Turlock, CA, acquired from Julie Moreno the orange male, Ch. Morenos Hot Off The Press, and bred him to a nice brood who surprised us all by producing two females, one a golden blond and the other a tan-patterned brown, both with dark chocolate noses. This solved the mystery of where Gordo had gotten hisPOMERANIAN REVIEWbrown gene, as he also was sired by Ch. Morenos Hot Off The Press. Nothing in these dogs pedigrees had given a hint that a brown gene could be there, yet by producing browns, brown tans, or brown-nosed blonds the fact of the brown genes presence was proven. The Trauners added the tan-patterned brown female to their kennel named Phyner Coffee Break, Coffee, bred to Gordo her half- brother produced in her first litter a black male, an orange-sable male, and two females that duplicated herself and her sister. The black male and the tan-patterned chocolate female have been retained from this litter. Coffee herself has now been bred to Sam, with the litter expected near Christmas.Lacking breedable bitches, a black Gordo daughter out of another of Lorenes broods was acquired. Named Phyner Kitchen Witch, Witchy was bred back to her sire and has again confirmed the origin of the brown gene her single pup is a beige male with a brown nose. Her next mating will probably be to her brown half-brother, Toro.PPhyner The Browning Version also called Toro by Ch. Phyner Night Editor, ex the chocolate bitch, Lenniss Creme de Co-Co-A.Dolly has been interested in genetics as a general subject since her college days, and since becoming a serious breeder in 1957 has studied all she could find on canine genetics most especially coat color. She has taught courses in basic genetics, sponsored by various breed clubs, to groups of dog breeders on severaloccasions. Another outgrowth of 1 interest, studies and activities in dogs w the granting by AKC of approval for Do to judge first Poodles and Pomeranians, 1970, with Shih Tzu and Yorkies add later. This followed nearly ten years match judging, with exposure to ma different breeds.aLenniss Creme de Co-Co-A, dam of Sam iToro pointed.Genetics, especially the genetics of c color, have been a subject of much inter to Dolly for many years. Her articles on 1 genetics of coat color in Poodles, especia on the little-understood apricot color, r in Dog World Magazine during the 1960 At that time she also wrote extensively I Kennel Review, Western Kennel Wor Popular Dogs, Dog World, Poodle Revi and Poodle Showcase. With Dr. Traune retirement in 1970, the granting of judging license, and the organization a operation of an international progr concerned with hereditary eye problems dogs or all breeds, Dolly has been too bi to write as much as before. The e program carried on by the Canine E Registration Foundation CERF v extremely successful from its beginnings 1975 until threats of an anti-trust s caused its members to suspend the progr in 1979 in hopes of averting actual suit. T suit was nevertheless filed that year a went to trial in 1981. CERF and members, along with other defendan were exonerated of any wrongdoing, t the litigation put tremendous stress on t Trauners both as to health and cost. T strain proved too much for Dr. Traun who developed congestive heart failure a passed away in January 1982. The suitPOMERANIAN REVIEWit entirely disposed of as the losers have ed an appeal, the decision of which is still nding. Nevertheless, CERF has resumed program with a new President to replace Trauner, and Dolly continues as cretary-treasurer.One of CERFs functions has been to rt Parent Clubs whenever a major reditary eye disease was reported in a dog a breed not previously know to harbor ch disease.

He didnt follow the lets or the Jets or even the Nets. He was 3 jock, thats for sure. His coordination as so bad that he couldnt chew gum and alk at the same time. In baseball he was e right fielder where no one ever hit. In lotball he was the wide receiver they never rew to. On the basketball team he was the ater boy, cause he couldnt dribble. With e water bucket he dribbled all over the ace. Howie was the kind of kid who ways blew a hole in the Kleenex and ided up with a hand full of goobers, lthough big for his age he always anaged to look smaller with his slump id everything. He even slumped when he 2pt. He always wore things like gray lirts, brown pants and black shoes with hite socks and like that. His face broke it early in life and never stopped. He came known by his more intimates as the Ace of Acne. In short, he didnt have a hole lot of things going for himself, uring occasional bouts of depression he ed to remind himself that he had never id to go to the hospital like some kids and had never been arrested or hit by a car, ther.At the age of 14 having flunked out of Dy Scouts for lack of aggressiveness, his Iks compensated for his loss by irehasing an animal-dog from the local mnd. They were told it was a Cock A Poo it it soon became Cock A Poodle Doo. round 6 a.m. each morning he would en up with some pretty wild sounds just get everyone up and moving. Howie and 3ck A Poodle Doo found each other, rey became inseperable. They ate gether, slept together and performed es other functions in unison. They were .earn.There was another weird guy on Howies ock who had a rare show dog. Howie ver could remember if it was called a Drkie or a Silky. There was this guynamed York who had a fruit stand on 44th street. All the other kids called him Yorkie cause he was pretty free with his used grapes and things. Now Howie called him Silky cause he always wore bright silk shirts. So you can see there was this problem with Yorkies and Silkies. Anyhow, a true show dog this was and Howie got turned on to the dog show thing. He used to go to the shows with Samuel who owned Yorkie Silky. He would help him load the crate on at 45th Street and again off at the Gardens. Samuel was really into the dog show thing. He read all of the mags, knew all of the top dogs and their handlers. According to Samuel, Yorkie Silky had done some really nice things in the ring. Like one time he whizzed on the leg of a judge who had placed him 3rd in a class of2. Another time he went Reserve from the classes, over specials, at the Daughters of the Eastside K.C. show. As time passed Howie began to understand the greatness of these wins. He began to grow into a dog person. He began to read the mags. When most kids his age were into Batman and Action Comics, Howie was reading things like All American Dog and Popular Bitch. How-weird was no jock. He didnt know Keats from Namath. He thought Willie Mays was a tap dancer. He couldnt have cared less.He watched the handlers at the shows and studied their every move. He would take Cock A Poodle Doo down to the big Macys store and practice moving him up and down in front of the windows where he could observe the outstanding qualities of his dog as well as his own handling technique. It was all kind of an instant replay in Menswear. Howies heroes became Tom Tightlead, Buddy Brisket, Wally Withers and the greatest of them all Frank Fabelliosi. He soon had complete books on the moves and styles of all of the top handlers of the day. He knew them all by heart.One day in the local green sheet which isPOMERANIAN REVIEW 4Cupaluv's Pomeranaiansintroduces- VMHill'Cupaluv's Kelly TooKelly pictured taking BOS over special at York Kennel Club under Dr. Lee Huggins for a 3 point major, handled exclusively by Billie Schull.Kelly is a proven stud, siring sound typey puppies.

Said show was open to all esidents of East Sumpster who were pure f mind and body and under the ages of 19 nd 14 years. Howie wasnt too sure what 11 that meant but he did know that he idnt smoke and had never been arrested r hit by a car either. He also felt that if the idge could get by his pimples he might and a chance of going all the way. He also gured that he could enter and do his npersonations of great handlers of the ast and present. Weird as he was, the lought did enter his mind, that possibly ot too many in the audience would be hip his routines, but under a good judge he ould take his chances. He entered. On the pplication form there was this question hich had to do with the type of act one id. He identified himself as AN dPERSONATOR OF FAMOUS DOG ANDLERS.He hit Macys very heavily for the next 3 eeks straight. He reviewed his books on 1 of the top handlers. He did push ups, ep knee bends, some isometrics and ate lly certain foods. Cock A Poodle Doo so went on a strict diet. No more BB Bats, iby Ruths, Guess Whats and carmel irns. This was a serious thing and very finitely a team effort. He spent many iggie hours with Samuel and watched m move Yorkie Silky at great length. In ort, he became readyCame the night of the Big Show There re 10 acts on the ticket. An amateur 'ord swallower, a person who claimed to t fire, 17 baton twirlers from East impster High who sang as they twirled, a le legged tap dancer, assorted singers in fferent keys most of them sour, a lloon player who played Nola with riations, a young priest who did nerican bird impersonations and Howie ansdorff An Impersonator of Famous g Handlers. Certainly a helluva show for Dse who had the price of admissionCame curtain time. Up went the stage hts. The house organist who was already i opened with 3 choruses of On isconsin and out comes the sword allower. To the strains of Love Is AMany Splendored Thing, he downs 2 World War 1 bayonets, 3 World War 2 sabers, 4 switch blades, 4 regulation darts, with feathers and some miscellaneous cutlery from Echoware. For all of this he gets modest applause. Howie, watching from the wings, figures hes still in it cause the guy coughed on 2 bayonets and belched on a saber. Next comes the fire eating person who is topless. Hes got some sponges on the end of coat hangers which he dips in Kerosene and lights. He then sticks them into his mouth and commences to blow smoke out his navel to the strains of Come and Light My Fire in B-flat. Although he gets slightly better response than did the sword guy, Howie still figures hes in it cause the fire guy burns his upper lip on the 2nd torch and takes all the hair out of his nose with the 5th. Out come the local twirlers who do a yeomans job if you dont mind batons bouncing off old ladies and babes in arms. Several singers pass amongst the footlights as does the one legged tap dancer with only fair to middling response from the locals. The balloon player has some difficulty getting his balloons up for this one. Two of them escape his grasp they jet out over the audience, salivating as they climb. The young priest comes out with dry chops but does manage a fairly respectable Coo Coo and his Cardinal gets reasonable applause from the church goers.The next and final act of the evening is Howie Blansdorff An Impersonator of Famous Dog Handlers Howie hunkers up into his best slump and strides out to center stage. He is nattily attired in his best gray, brown and black outfit and in this respect somewhat resembles a youthful, well-pimpled pilgrim. Hes really up for this one as is Cock A Poodle Doo who is looking and feeling magnificent He knows without doubt that he is the Best Dog in the Show Howie opens with his impersonation of the Great Stan Studdley taking Best in Show at East Sumpster in 1963. He gets polite, but interested silence. He follows with Milt Muzzle taking his 5th Best in Show on the famed Cal-Georgia circuit in 1967 with Essex the Portugese Briarstiff. Truly an important moment in dogdom never to be forgotten The applause is moderate and scattered and mostly from his parents, aunts and uncles and a few of continued on p. 64.POMERANIAN REVIEW LLUELLV KENNELWe have several breeding and show prospect puppies available.We have been Pomeranian breeders for the past twelve years and are very proud of our many champions and the beautiful offspring they are producing.FORSALEjsrVimi If____ _ f Male Whelped 81182 Female Whelped 81982Luells Misty Dawn of Duke x Millamors Nolans Mai Tai Dragon of Darin x Ch.

Thanks for writing, met Heffington is absolutely right about ysol Spray. It does contain phenylphenol, id indeed I warned of its dangers in an irlier column I fell into the old trap of ing a brand name instead of a generic one 'ou know, all tissues are Kleenex. I irrently use Listerol, which does not intain Phenylphenol. Check the labels on Duse brands. I personally hesitate to use lorox 5 sodium hypochlorite on my helping box because it is wooden and luld absorb that clorox. Clorox can react ith urine to form deadly chlorine gas. See lolly Millers column, Review, April 1978, .57.Sophie Mayes pointed out that I failed to lention that Sevin comes in several rengths and you should be sure to get 5 evin. Nancy Bartholomew writes to say lat in Arkansas they have found Sevin seless lately. Well, Nancy, it is no longer 00 effective here either. It works better n some Poms than others. So far, nothing 'orks on Chatter. Nancy says that they ave found liquid 50 Malathion to be an ffective dip for her Labs and in the runs it works like a charm and has a residual ffect for 2 weeks. Of course, a dip is rather pain with coated dogs. Carol Trew of lechanicsville, VA was been very pleased nth malathion powder on her Pom and ats, butyech it stinksNancy also recommends Adams Flea-Off list, a non-aerosol spray, for Poms and edding. Made in Florida, it has good nock-down power and lasts three days . . . nd now lets hear it for a good hard freeze Nancy writes that Im on her hate list, ecause it is obvious that I have a knack if having it all together and keeping it thatway apparently with little effort. That letter provided the biggest laugh of the month. So many people have asked me, How do you do all you do Well, the answer, dear reader, is I DONT. Im not Ms. Efficiency. I do all you see me doing breeding, training, showing, instructing, raising 3 kids but there is an awful lot you assume Im doing perhaps because you do it that Im not. Thats where priorities come in. Im not superwoman I have limited time and energy. So from time to time I have to evaluate whats using up my time and which items are most important. Some things are allowed to slide. Im not an immaculate housekeeper please call before you come over I no longer make all my own clothes. I havent planted fall bulbs in 3 years. But I get the basics three meals a day, clean clothes, reasonably clean kids done and still have time for myself and what I really want to do. Maybe thats the essence of efficiency.Another comment I hear a lot is I wish I had time for obedience. Or, One of these days I ought to train Fluffy because hes so smart. said in a tone of voice that implies Fluffy will get to class when the moon turns blue. It is true that obedience does take time. But not that much 20 minutes a day can get a Pom a CD. While competition isnt for everybody, obedience is for all Pomeranians. Here are some commands every house dog should know1. Off. Whatever youre on, get off. This applies to the dog on a lap or on a couch. Its especially handy for dogs jumping up on you. It is easy to teach. Simply shove dog off, say Off, praise when he complies.2. Out or Go Out. When I open the back door and say Go Out, theyd best hurry their furry little rears out the door to the yard or else else is I grab him by the fur at the back of the neck, shake once, and then shove out the door. This is a correction used only on dogs who know the routine. Since I use the command Go Out for this situation, I asked another trainer if I should use another word for the send-away in utility. She said, Of course, your command should be KILL.3. Wait.

But hen she seemed reluctant to jump. About a eek later she not only refused to jump, ut refused the sit from a down position ignal three times. Alarm bells went off in iy head. I began to observe her carefully. Vhen I went out the back door, ten Poms ounced up eagerly. Tiara remained lying lown with a look on her face that begged ae not to call her. When she laid down, she oiled her rear to the right. If I commanded ler to sit, shed at first refuse but when I nsisted, shed lurch to her feet then slowly ower her rear, a very abnormal action. Vnd she had a miserable look on her face ill the time.My vet took x-rays which showed a hickening of three vertebrae in the lumbar egion. He said it was spondylosis, nnching nerves, and nothing could be doneexcept give her medicine for pain. Horrors Of course, there went her obedience career down the tube. But worse, since Tiara is only 8 years old, we were faced with another 4 or 5 years of trying to relieve her pain. Poor beastie. I was very unhappy with this diagnosis. I talked at length with a friend whose Sheltie had exhibited very similar symptoms over several months before being diagnosed as having a ruptured disc. The Sheltie had been operated on 2 weeks prior and appeared to be recovering. Because I couldnt bear the thought of Tiara in pain or on Bute for years, I took her to a vet who specializes in orthopedics. He assured me her pain couldnt be caused by the spondylosis because it was too far down on the side of the spine. He was 90 sure it was a ruptured disc. After a long discussion of odds, options, and risks, we decided on surgery the next morning. The purpose of the surgery was to clean out the debris, the material that came out of the disc and was pressing on the nerves. I took her home that evening. In three days she was lurching to her feet to eliminate or find the food dish. After 5 days I put her outside with the other dogs and let her resume her normal routine. Now two months later, she is happy, bouncing and, with the vets blessing, beginning to jump again Moral Never say die or get a second opinion.APRIL DEADLINEWe anticipate deadline problems with the February Specialty being held so near the deadline for the April issue.

It appears here at the juest of the club.JUDGES CRITIQUE by Fred BassettIt was certainly a pleasure for me to ige the Columbia Pomeranian Club ecialty, which was held in a beautiful tdoor setting in Vancouver, Washington, tad never been to this gorgeous part of country before, and spent a couple of ys before the show doing some htseeing. I took my wife and sons to see attle, Bainbridge Island, and for a surely days drive to see Mount Rainier d the surrounding countryside. This area lly has to be one of the most beautiful I ve ever seen. I hope that all of you have a ance to visit this area someday urselves, and to experience the warm ispitality of the local Pom people as I did. ake plans to attend this clubs next ecialty if you can you certainly will joy itLovely as all the scenery was, one of the ettiest sights had to be the ring full of rgeous Pomeranians that I had in front me for Best of Breed competition. The tsses had been filled with good consistent lality, and I had been able to find just the pe of Pom that I like for Winners Dog id Winners Bitch. Beautiful, well oportioned dogs in good condition, with vely heads, good carriage and movement, tese dogs were joined for Best of Breed by ht lovely champions and a black and tan teran dog. There were a number of emorable dogs the most striking of tich was the Best of Breed dog, Ch. -Mar Sundance Kid. This dog took my e from the moment he entered the ring, e is an excellent dark orange male with a nply gorgeous head, and one of the best iats Ive seen in a long time. He is verysound and moves well is exceptionally well balanced with sufficient neck to carry his head proudly. He was well presented, and worked beautifully for his handler. I understand that this dog just recently finished his championship, but I would say that he is easily Best in Show quality. Im sure that given the chance, he will attain that honor shortly.My Best of Winners was the very stylish and typey Winners Dog, Que Sera Mountain Fresh O Bi-Mar. He is an orange sable dog with excellent head type good balance, neck and head carriage. Best .of Opposite Sex went to Ch. Maranthas Lil Tabitha, a very nice orange bitch with a pretty head and excellent coat and condition. She was well proportioned, and moved well. Winners Bitch went to Harbins Black Gold of India, a lovely black and tan bitch of excellent type. She was pushed for winners by her Tiffanys Star of India, who was Reserve Winners. This bitch was the same excellent type as her daughter and made for a difficult decision. There was another really top quality bitch in the classes Char-Murs Glorious Dream, a 6-9 month puppy bitch which I put Best Puppy, and was very taken by. She is orange sable, and a little immature, but she has it all excellent head, short back, balance, good neck and carriage, and good movement. This one certainly has a bright future. It was also a pleasure to judge Ch. Rainbows Willow- mar Hi-Ho, a black and tan dog who I learned later had been the first dog of his color to finish his championship after black and tan was recognized a few years back. He and his kennelmate Rainbows Talos Hi were also the winners of the brace class, which was a real crowd pleaser.Following the specialty judging, we were all treated to a good old fashioned Pot-Luck Barbecue by the club members. The food was great, and the conversation even better. It was such a pleasure to renew many old acquaintances, and make some new ones. Many thanks to Show Chairman John Nye, who has to be one of the hardest working club members I have ever met, and to Jean Schroll and Mrs. Asback for making this judging assignment one of the most pleasant I have ever had.POMERANIAN REVIEWClear Creek PomeraniansFOR SALEFemale, whelped October 25,1980.Sire Ch.

I hope you will be compelled to write eng thy essays on these subjects . . . and nd them to Pom Review. You are the perts. Share your ideas with other eeders on these important topics.The EditorWhere to begin an article is always the ughest part of writing. Very often after ading a magazine article I feel stimulated say something and have literally written agthy essays and afterwards have said to yself, Why should I, a relative iwcomer to dogs, dare lecture the old ners.Some observations can be made, iwever, that perhaps the more exper- iced have lost sight of or forgotten tirely. One of the first things that comes mind is the widely debated topic of fPE in Shih Tzu. Very seldom have I seen pure bred Shih Tzu that I would not mediately recognize as a Shih Tzu, even a poor one. We all know that our merman Shih Tzu have come from rious sources, so when a person Ivertises TYPEY or CORRECT TYPE, I k myself which correct type or whose pe. When someone says CORRECT YPE, it is similar to a person talking out the TRUE RELIGION whose true ligion Our standard is written in very neral terms and in a court of law one ould be hard pressed to prove any dog to the CORRECT TYPE with words such about show warm expression imewhat longer slightly rolling no more an no less than slightly undershot dark es. The capper is, However, type and eed characteristics are of the greatest lportance. Even with the faults listed, ere are only two that you could definitely squalify a dog with, and those would be ershot and pick on the nose or eye rims, verything else is up to someonesinterpretation.Also, it is interesting to note that what a given person prefers as type often seems related to their prior experience with dogs or in other words, what breed the person was previously associated with. To me it seems those who dealt with, let us say, Afghans or Poodles, seem to prefer smoother moving dogs and put more emphasis on the parts of the standard which concern forequarters, hindquarters, tail and especially that section dealing with gait. On the other hand, those who have had experience with Pekes often tend to disregard or down play the movement sections of the standard or talk about wide rears there is no mention in the standard and in the same breath mention wide rears with strong rear action, which is anatomically impossible. Some people stress the word short as in short legs, but what is short To my way of thinking, any dog that is longer than it is tall could be considered short as long as it isnt over 11 inches tall at the withers reference our standard.There is no doubt about the fact that the standard says more about the head than any other section, but where does it say that more words makes one section more important than any other Further, even that section could have been split into separate sections such as skull, mouth, eyes, ears, etc. After all, the fore and hind quarters were separated from the feet, and color and coat were disassociated.Let us consider the coat. A luxurious, long, dense coat. I ask how long To the floor, trailing 3 inches out on the floor, how long Nowhere does it say that the top coat should be heavy and coarse. So what is correct coat typeMost of us want the nose placed up between the eyes with a deep stop, and yet our standard says nothing except a definite stop. Even a dog with a down nose can have a definite stop.I hope that I have made my point which is that there are and can be severalPOMERANIAN REVIEWPomtown Kennelsrfill .. .vl ''v.V ^WvCh.

And that much of at we in our own minds judge a dog by is sed on personal perference rather than pirical evidence as described in our indard. True, this does account for a at deal of frustration in and out of the ig when one sees a judge put up the ong type as one sees it, but at the same tie the generalities of our standard gives all the opportunity to experiment in our eeding programs in an effort to produce en more colorful and beautiful speci- ns.Recently, I have found it very interesting observe all that has been written ncerning artificial this and artificial that, ime people complain about pilling dogs to p them up or to calm them down. Others mplain about dyeing. All of us have seen gs with dark faces suddenly, or perhaps tter, gradually develop white blazes and ce falls. Others, amazingly, develop deep ild saddles and so on. One breeder scribed viewing a prestigious dog show as tending a Miss Clairol convention. Iso we know that some people thin the iat at the neck to give the dog more neck, thers trim at the base of the tail to shorten icks. Some have ratted or teased the coat ong the back to give the appearance of a vel topline. I once heard a well-known indler explain how one could tie the hair 1 the tail into the topline to make the dog ep its tail over the back. What about the ousing of the topknot over the nose to lorten the nose or the various things that e stuffed in the topknot to give an tificial appearance of more dome. And, F course, we have heard about pulling eth and tattooing noses. Now about ringing the dog up so much that the front let hardly touch the ground. All of these -e artificial.There is, however, another item which w people would think of as being -tificial and that is stuffing dogs to an -tificial weight. Isnt almost anything that done to a dog to enhance its natural ppearance artificial Again, as with type, hat one person considers OK or ermissible is highly irregular or illegal to nother. Perhaps that old adage about eople living in glass houses should be iven additional thought by us all.Wouldnt we all be better off trying tobreed in the characteristics we like so much rather than going to the pains that some do to make their dogs appear to be what they are not True, in many respects we do live in an artificial world, but wouldnt it be wonderful if our breeding and showing fancy could be an island of honesty and sanity in an evermore superficial world where appearances are not always what they seem.The Great Impersonator, cont from p. 46.the local dudes who decided to come out and see him go down to the fire eating person.

Whatever happened to Fall No rnder the fleas flourish here. They dont .ve to go south for the winter they just set permanent residence. Every summer, cording to local papers, the flea problem intinues to be worse than the previous ar. Its no wonder whenever doggie ople get together, the main topic is 3U guessed it FLEAS.Now, Ill stop right here a make a atement just for all you lucky north- rners. In 1979, the Irish Setter Club of nnerican held their National Specialty in an Antonio. A well known breeder from Canada was here and we were discussing leas. I couldnt believe she had never seen ine. Not only that, but not once had she tad the pleasure of spraying, dipping, lusting, etc. No wonder she was surprised it the conversation. We generously olunteered to send some fleas back with ter so she wouldnt feel left out Anyway, for all you lucky people without flea problems, knock on wood, bundle up and go shovel some snow. And, if you really want to see first hand what all the fuss is about, Im sure we can work something outWe all know how dipping plays havoc on show coats. Putting dust in the house andor spraying every week is a real chore. When I moved to San Antonio in August, the fleas were so bad in this house it was unbearable to me. Every time I walked into the house or the yard, my pants would become black with fleas. Each time, I would spray the house with a new insecticide for five straight days, but nothing seemed to work. In fact, the fleas seemed to reproduce even faster.I think I read every article ever written on flea prevention. I tried every mentioned remedy, but to no avail. Thats why I find it rather amusing that little ol me finally found a solution. I havent had any fleas in about nine months. Now, that statementshocks a lot of people. Whats more, I never dip my dogs it breaks coat, and I never use internal pesticides, spray, or dust continuously. I simply maintain the following procedure and, since it has worked for several of my friends as well as for me in two different homes, I feel it is well worth sharing.1. Remove the dogs from the area being treated. Spray the entire area with straight strength Malathion.2. Set off the very heavy concentration of foggers in the house and kennel Editors Note Always follow manufacturers saftey intructions when using any chemical. I use several large Holiday foggers to kill the adult fleas and one D-Con Flea Stop fogger per room to kill the eggs. It is very important to kill both the adult fleas and their eggs.3. When Im ready to bring the dog back, I bathe them in Palmolive liquid detergent. It is a mild cleaning agent and does kill fleas.4. Approximately one week later, I put Dursban granules in the yard and, again, bathe the dogs in Palmolive.5. Repeat the procedure approximately every three months.Thats all and no fleas Its wonderful. I dont dip, just routinely bathe the dogs with Palmolive. I also know of several people who use Proban or Spot On and they seem to have good results. But personally, I do not like to induce insecticides into a dogs body, especially if you want to breed them.Another hint if an outside dog comes into your house or kennel for breeding, grooming, or whatever, make sure it is not carrying fleas with it. The first thing I do is check the dog for fleas if they are apparent, I immediately bathe the dog. This is just a self-protection policy which everyone should understand, so dont be afraid to speak up.Good luckPOMERANIAN REVIEWMoe-Best Pomeranians presentsMoe-Best Overnite Sin-SationCh.

Box 717 League City, TX 77573aining problems seem to have been the i topic of conversation at recent shows ther one was around the obedience or formation rings. It does not seem that ning such a small dog as a Pomeranian uld be such a large problem however, neranians must not only strike the rect positions in the conformation ring, y must strike them happily head up, 1 up, ears alert and eyes sparkling. To hieve the above result the Pom must like tat he is doing and this applies to both information and obedience.The past few years have seen obedience lange forms. Competition has become lore severe as numbers have increased, low split-second timing and precision drill jchniques are needed to place a dog in the ibbons. Many handlers are searching for a vay to save that crucial half point. I regret o report that this search has often lead to aarsh training techniques.The same sort of thing has happened in conformation. As numbers andor competition has increased in an area, ring presentation showmanship and grooming has become more important. The pressure is on the dog must perform.Some breeds have been developed to perform under severe correction. While I do not like these methods used even on these breeds, I must admit that such breeds do perform precisely, if not happily under these severe conditions.The Pomeranian breed, as we know it today, has no other purpose than to be a pleasure and an amusement to man. One of the main delights of the Pomeranian is that he has a proud self-important way about him. This is not a front. Most Poms do value themselves very highly. Self-efacing Poms seldom do well in the show ring for the proud ones convince the judges and the' " a.hbreeders that they are valuable. Such a proud being will not respond to harsh treatment intended to subjugate its being.A quality Pomeranian is born with his pride, but he must learn his respect and love which are the best training tools for him. I have seen dogs appear to love their trainers more than their doting owners. I think the reason is mutual respect. With a good trainer, the dog knows that much is expected of him, but he also knows that he will be admired and loved for his accomplishment. Any intelligent being likes the feeling of success.Now the secret of great training, in my opinion, is teaching the dog to acquire a taste for achievement. Once he is hooked on success, he will work to fill the need. Now remember the dog cannot count points, or legs, or appreciate trophies. His measure of achievement is what he gets from his trainer. Also, remember the dog may put all he has into a performance and place out of the ribbons. When this happens he has been successful and deserves his sense of achievement. Conversely the dog may win the points or leg and not have performed well and not deserve his achievement award.Focus on the individual dog to be trained. Do not blindly train by any one method. Choose the parts of each that best fit the individual to be trained. Too many classes and training schools encourage all students to train the same way. It is easier for the school, but it is not necessarily best for the individual.It is not easy to tailor lessons for each individual, but the result is well worth the effort. The first and most important step in individually planning a training program either for conformation or obedience is to know the dog.I began my dog career in the obedience rings. I put degrees on several dogs then I moved to the conformation ring and showed there for several years. When I left the obedience ring, the best trainers for any aspect of dog work were there. After an absence of nine years, I am thinking of returning to obedience and I am finding a distressing change has taken place.In the past the obedience people that I knew had a really good time. They enjoyed each others company, and they truly lovedPOMERANIAN REVIEWtheir dogs. They selected these dogs, not because they were good obedience breeds, but because their breed characteristics pleased them and fit into their life styles. Most of the people I am thinking of scored well and usually placed in the ribbons. Several were High in Trial and 200 scores were not unknown. They were competitive, but the competition was fun. If at a certain trial a dog or handler blew the whole thing, the handler was not destroyed. He still enjoyed his day and he was an enjoyable companion for those around him.I am not seeing this enjoyment at the current shows. Recently, some handlers have seemed personally insulted by their dogs mistakes. I guess being perfect themselves, they can not understand error. They are unpleasant to be near for they berate their dogs and give dozens of excuses for the errors they or their dogs made. They seem incapable of enjoying their friends or the other dogs performances. They do not value their dogs or themselves apart from their wins.I have tried to analyze the difference in the past and the persent groups. I believe it is a result of different approaches to training. The past trainers that I knew trained dogs that they loved. They enjoyed being with those dogs for between the two of them had developed a bond of love, trust and pride which no one days error could shake. Force training was almost unknown. The dog was shown what he was expected to do. Corrections were not a part of training until the dog knew what was expected of him and purposefully disobeyed. Training nights were fun for both handler and dog. Often refreshments were brought, visits took place before and after classes, no one seemed uptight. The handler and his canine friend were doing something enjoyable together.Many current trainers in both rings seems to enjoy subjugating their dogs. No one treats a friend this way so, the dog ceases to be a friend and becomes a thing that is thwarting the handlers success. The handler seems to hate this creature that stands between him and success. In education it has been proven that the most effective learning takes place when the student has a good self-image and believeshis teacher believes in him. Many of t studies were done with other than hu animals. Why, in the face of all evidence, does a trainer punish and be his dog thus causing a case of anxiety which the dog must work I believe form of training has lost the show i many sensitive people who would have b the best handlers. Only a bully enj putting another living creature down when a caring person realizes the results such force, he will drop training if he is shown a better way to train. In obedien force training ruins many dogs at the Op level. They seem able to survive t pressure for novice work, but the joy gone from their lives before open work completed. In conformation this can seen in mechanical showmen. Do reactions vary to being punished for doii things that they do not know are wron. Some become sullen, others rebel, mar become depressed and sad, and a fe patient breeds will accept unjustifie punishment and learn anyway. Perhaps thi is why only a few breeds are now thought o as good obedience choices, but think ho\ much better even these breeds would worl if wisely trained.I know that my comments will not affec those who have selected a training method, but for those who have only seen force training, there is another way. The approach of teaching as opposed to forcing gives the handler a dog with whom he can enjoy the shows. It also gives him a dog that enjoys showing more with each passing day for he values his own performance and feels his accomplishment. The handler and dog grow as a team. They know what they have accomplished, and they know their worth. No single show is capable of driving them to the depths of despair or sending them on a foolish ego trip.Doubt me if you please, but trust your own eyes. Note the training methods used by the handlers whose dogs dance with joy in and out of the ring. Watch for the dogs whose tails wag and the handlers who smile and laugh before and after they show win, lose or tie Their tension is a happy tension. They do not know fear or dread of a show. Their joy is showing at its best.When, concerned at what I saw, I decided to write this article, I realized that IPOMERANIAN REVIEWded to offer some positive suggestions. e most Poms are not natural retrievers, ting one to carry a dumbbell seems to be must difficult training in either ring, alizing that new methods are developing the time, and I had not been active in edience recently, I called on Kitty Connell. Kitty, as most of you know, s shown high scoring Poms in obedience r twenty years. For training the retrieve e suggested the technique developed by en Johnson of Windsor, Ontario, anada. Kitty assured me this inductive trieve method works. It is teaching, not ircing. It may take a little longer, but it aves one with a friend, not a subject. I ish I could reproduce it for you here, but it was printed August 1976 in Off-Lead, is copyrighted. Check with your bedience friends or contact Kitty for lformation on this method.I am presently studying the best training iook that I have ever seen. The book is lOW TO BE YOUR DOGS BEST 7RIEND by the Monks of New Skete, published by Little, Brown and Company. This book is not an obedience manual. It Joes include obedience instruction, but its najor purpose is to allow man to understand his dog and develop a good relationship with him in all areas of life. It is a very sensitive, insightful book that explains the needed relationship when two beings on different levels closely blend their lives. I wish it could be required reading for all dog owners. The respect of the dog not as an inferior human, but as a wonderful different creature and the explanation of these differences makes this book unique in my mind. Please, read it for your dog and your own sake.Do not train a dog that you do not respect and love. Be fair and honest with the dog. Show wins fade. Your relationship with your dog lasts. You and he are the important elements.THE DENVER METRO POMERANIAN CLUB by Michael M. Thorstad standing in for Mona Mae CaldwellThe Denver Metro Pomeranian Club is proud to announce our hosting of the Summer Specialty of the American Pomeranian Club on Friday, May 27, 1983. Our Specialty will be held in conjunction with the Metro Mile Hi Kennel Club, Ltd limited to toy breeds only at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds in Littleton a suburb of Denver, Colorado. We are expecting three to four hundred toy dogs at this show as the Papillons and Silkies will also be having their National Specialties this same weekend in Denver. There are also three all-breed dog shows following our Specialty in the Denver Metro area with Pom breeder judges at two of the three shows.The judges for the Pom Specialty are subject to AKC approval, Mrs. Leon KeKe Blumberg for the regular classes and Mrs. Christine Heartz for the Sweepstakes classes. Mrs. Blumberg judges the Toy and Non-Sporting Groups and a few Sporting breeds. She was a breeder of nationally acclaimed Lhasa Apsos. Mrs. Heartz of Chriscendo Poms hails from Nova Scotia, Canada and is familiar to many Pom breeders for excellent Pomeranians of international reputation.The weather on Memorial Day weekend is usually 70 to 80 and the nights cool to the 60s and 70s. Our specialty is to be held indoors. We are working hard toward providing the best specialty ever. Some items of interest to all who are planning to come The Denver club plans to provide transportation for all Pomeranian exhibitors at our specialty to and from the headquarters hotel and the show sites. We are busy coordinating vans, campers, station wagons, etc. for those of you who are arriving in town without local transportation. We expect a very nominal fee for this service and rest assured, the savings in taxi cab fees or rental cars will be substantial.

She and her husband closed their restaurant that day and devoted their attention to our members and I can only recount what I felt and heard from all attending, Incredible, simply incredible Wanda literally had the Welcome Puget Sound Pomeranian Club Members sign out for us.

Virginia takes care of the dogs while Bernard shows them in the ring. They are currently working toward finishing another one. See you soon, Bernard. Another member, Irene Harbin, has finished her bitch who is the dam of the black and tan Winners Bitch at the Columbia Pom Clubs Summer Specialty in Portland from the 6-9 class. Both of these bitches have been exclusively owner handled. We are proud that our club members are so active in the show ring.Our newsletter has been going out to over 60 persons a month.

Our first meeting after the summer break was held September 14 in the home of Carol Sherry as usual. Other than routine business we discussed different options for raising funds. For the last two years we have had two goals in mind. Of course, the first priority is our 1983 Spring Specialty, but we are also working hard to have a really big Silver Anniversary Show March 1984.In the past some of our activities for our Anniversary Show were as followsA. Donation of biscuit can banks by Kenneth and Francis Freeman, auctioned to members, filled with coins, then again donated to the club.B. Auctioning of table decorations at Christmas Parties and Picnics, donated by Carol Sherry. The members have been very generous in their bidding.C. A very successful garage sale, to which numerous members made donations, held at the home of Luther and Margaret Mobley.D. Sale of Puppy Cuddlers and Ringside Matts made by Estelle McDonald.E. And last, but certainly not least, the contents of our Brag Box.Now, if you dont mind, something personal. John and I took a vacation trip in September through Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia and into Washington D.C., taking side-trips on the way up to tour Historical Mansions and points of interest.

This will be a three day circuit so hopefully we will have majors. The judge elect is Mary Rosenbaum of Washington State, well known in Brittany circles and this will be her first assignment in this area. The sweepstakes judge is Adrian Alford, a popular choice. Adrian, like us, is in the Navy and is now stationed in Florida, but his son, a very competent handler is keeping things going in his absence.This Club also has an annual awards ceremony, which I understand was started by Chuck Reynolds, now a life member of the Club. There are awards for Best Pom, exhibitor, breeder, etc. More on this later.We have a number of well known breeders in the area and it will be interesting to note the winners.We are stationed now in Monterey, and are enjoying the winter sun and climate. Its hard for us to see surfing at this time of the year, but each place has its charm and interest and the peninsula has lots to offer.Hope you all had a very merry festive season, and that the New Year will be filled with joy and good will.

Mishicot, WI54228I received my October issue before the leadline for the next issue, for the first time ill year, so I assume things are back to lormal. I can now catch up on giving you lews from the midwest.So much for the midwest news. No one ontacted me about any. Now that, my fiends, is normal Ill just fill you in with he escapades of the Baugniets. Would you ike to hear about our grandson His first vords were Ma Ma, Da Da and dog. Then le would bark. His vocabulary is bigger iow, but he still barks at the dogs. Jeffy is ust 1 Vi years old.Speaking of dogs, I will tell you of our rip to London, Copenhagen and Stock- lold last February after the New York Specialty. It really was one of the nicest rips we have taken.This was the first year Crufts was a three lay dog show. There were 9,844 dogs ntered. Each either won at a 1981 Championship show or was a Champion, rwo Groups were benched and shown each lay.The conformation rings are formed only iy rows of chairs surrounding an area, no opes, no particular entrance. When a class if dogs comes in, it comes in from all over he place ... and leaves the same way.Many times a dog is entered in a couple f different classes. The classes offered in Oth sexes at Crufts are Special Puppy, Special Junior, Special Yearling, Post Graduate, Limit and Open. There is no leparate class for Champions. Champions ompete in the open class for Best of Breed md a Challenge Certificate. It takes three CCs to make an English Champion.Professional handlers are rare in sngland. Most dogs are shown by their jwners. It really looks different to see these logs being shown without any baiting or my attempt to set-up a dog at any time inthe ring. The English judges evidently dont allow it or the exhibitor doesnt know any different. They surely dont make any attempt to hide faults or make their dogs look good. Maybe it is better that wayI did not feel that the Pom quality was much different over there. I saw one extremely cobby Pom. Perhaps they have more cute heads than we do, which I was told comes from the Hadleigh line. Soundness seems to be a big problem, however, I saw several Poms that reminded me of some of our midwest Poms. I believe the percentage of quality U.S. Poms to be just as good, if not better than in England. It depends upon which emphasis you place on various good points or on faults.I also watched the Norwich Terrier judging the following day. My opinion was the same for that breed, except I feel that they had a higher percentage of quality in the Norwich than we do in the U.S.Politics seems to play a role over there as it does here. Although, for the first time in the history of Crufts, a group winner was pulled from Best in Show competition by its owner, because the dog had been boarded at the BIS judges kennel a few months before.Obedience at Crufts is given a huge ring, the whole center first floor. I would guess the area to be close to 100 x 200 or larger. It seems to be close to Westminsters Group and Best in Show ring. It fact, it is their Group and Best in Show ring when the Obedience is over for the day.The following Obedience information is taken directly from the Crufts 1982 Dog Show Catalog. I thought you might be interested in the exercises. There were 25 dogs competing on Friday and 23 bitches participating on the second day. On Sunday, 35 dogs competed in the new Inter-Regional Obedience Competition.The dogs entitled to compete for these Championship Competitions are those which have been awarded Kennel Club Obedience Certificates during 1981.The First Prize winner in each Championship will be entitled to be described as Obedience Champion.

We were all proud of our Olga Baker and the expert job she did in judging the sweepstakes entries. Hubby Darrell looked on approvingly. Many have encouraged Olga to apply for her license. There was one individual at the show who insisted that she does do Schipperkes, and not too well in his opinion. There seemed to be' nothing Erika Moreau could say to disuade him from his conviction that Olga was an infamous Schipperke judgeErika and Wayne Moreau and daughter, Jennifer drove out in their newly converted BIG bus and the fact that its sides are labeled Conroe Baptist Church may have saved them a ticket or two enroute. Connie and Tony Tellez arrived by air Friday evening and George and Jean West arrived by air with the Bakers on Saturday. Tim and I had left a week earlier and spent that time with Paul and Randy Freeh in Canyon Country, California. We couldnt have been more royally treated house guests. I kept offering to take a few dozen dogs home with me and did manage to leave with two. One I have to share with good friend, Roxy Campbell. We drove with the Freehs in their motor home to the Arizona Specialty, then flew back to Houston from there.One of the most fun things club members have done since my last column was to surprise Dave and Bobbie Gibson with a new kennel warming. The members took a pitch-in picnic to their beautiful home and although the Gibsons were expecting one couple for they day, they were extremely surprised by the larger turn out. We all had an opportunity to tour their lovely kennel. It is hardly fair to call this building a kennel, as it is nicer than many homes. Dave did most of the construction himself and it is really outstanding, featuring extremely well-arranged whelping facilities with sleeping area for observation by the human midwife. A complete kitchen and half bath make living with the dogs a pleasure. The kennel is equipped withinout screened runs and the dogs who live here definitely dont lead a dogs life. The Gibsons home is situated on acreage among beautiful, tall trees.Recent champions for club members are Tomboys Pico Chico for owners Erika Moreau and Kathy Flanagan. Tellez Simply Cinnamon Star completed her championship for new owners, Dave and Bobbie Gibson. She is bred by Tony Tellez. Wests Sweet Summer Dream completed her championship in grand style taking Best of Breed over specials for proud owner- breeders George and Jean West. This is the little girl who earlier broke a leg when she was near her title.The big winner for our club in Arizona was Tony Tellezs puppy dog Tellez Simply Golden Dancer, who took Best of Opposite Sex in Sweepstakes, won his 9-12 puppy class all three days and a big major on Monday. Dancer is near his title with both majors from the puppy class. This will be the 4th champion for his dam.The next club function on our .agenda is a Christmas party at the home of the Wests, and then of course, many are making plans to attend the specialty in February in New York.Our newly elected officers arePresident Darrell BakerVice President Roxy CampbellSecretary Tony T ellezTreasurer Bobbie GibsonBoard Tim Goddard, Dave GibsonJean WestPOMERANIAN REVIEW lDupres Pomeranians watch for...4JL^Dupre'st's Tance SianLadyJeribeths Ivan Ideal x Dupres Cajun Dancing GirlBOW first two times out, from puppy class under judges Dr. William Field, Jr. and Mrs. Margaret A.

It involved the death of a show potential three month old, white puppy, and the near death of her littermates.With my small residential kennel, worms are seldom a problem. But, since I was shipping one puppy to a new home, and since numerous checks may reveal no worms, there is always a slight chance, I decided to give a worm medication.With this worm medication, the puppies meals were interrupted. Adverse symptoms on one puppy did not appear until the next morning. She just did not appear perky. Since our puppies share our kitchen-nook area and are closely observed, I picked up the problem which was slight and might have gone unnoticed without close contact.I took the puppy to the vet immediately and a check revealed temperature elevation. By then she was also vomiting with diarrhea to follow. The veterinarian started corrective medication to stop diarrhea and administered glucose to avoid dehydration. I took the puppy home and maintained telephone touch with my veterinarian and in the afternoon, I took her back for sub-que fluids to boost her. At this time, the vet was not unduly alarmed as she appeared comfortable. His idea was to sustain the puppy until the worm medication had run its course. But by the time I got home, she began to hemmorage and even with constant monitoring, she went steadily down and she slipped away at dawn.I find some comfort in the fact that even if the vet had diagnosed worms, with the worm treatment these puppies would have had an adverse reaction. The autopsy was to reveal no presense of worms and no virus.After her death, a close check showed the same symptoms appearing in the three littermates. Then we thought of the possibility of a virus being present and co-incidental with worming so the vetstarted antibiotics. With all this nothing seemed to be helping these puppies. Along with medication, I was trying to get food into them. When baby food passed through in its original form, I knew I needed a miracle.I called a Corgie breeder friend, who is quite an expert on nutrition. She had written an article on saving pups with corona virus. She gave me the following advice. In addition to the vets prescribed medicine I purchased a box of Lactinex from the pharmacy. For three Toy Poodles 3 lbs. take I envelope of Lactinex, adding 2 tablespoons of esbilac, warm to dissolve but do not overheat as this will destroy granuales effect, I spooned this to them, I did this at 5 p.m., 8 p.m., and 11 p.m. Afterwards I continued this 6 times daily for several days and used the remaining envelopes by sprinkling the powder into their food at meal time.My friend said the Lactinex put back into the stomach the spurs bacteria that had been ripped away by the worm medication. She suggested that the day after the initial dosage, I start feeding the puppies such things as cottage cheese, finely chopped lean meat or stewed chicken. For puppies who would not eat, she suggested along with the Lactinex to give the puppies small amounts of a milk shake Recipe 1 teaspoon esbilac, 1 tablespoon bourbon, 14 cup uxiter, 1 teaspoon honey and 1 raw egg yolk.For me, this proved to be the magic elixir. By the second feeding of the Lactinex, I could see a change in the puppies. The three puppies are alive, well and healthy today.As I settled down to quiet living, I remembered, I had read about a Collie breeder who had excellent results using Lactinex on weak newborn puppies. For me, I will use routinely if I am worming puppies again. I hope none of you have to go through what I did, but if you do, try my miracle.POMERANIAN REVIEW qAnnon's Pomeranians, Reg.presentsjB^T OPP.SEXVALLEY FORGE KENNEL CLUBSEPT 19827IMIMaIkAnnons Nina LucilleStarting out, Nina has received 5 points from the puppy classes.Congrats to Cedarviews S.

Stephens 401 Ramona Avenue Monterey, CA 93940408 372-6036POMERANIAN REVIEW CYIPS YAPSKAREN HOLDER Houston, TXI just want to issue a word of caution regarding Janet Heffingtons mention of use of Clorox in cleaning. Clorox is very effective and I like using it for disinfecting just be careful not to use too strong a solution and be especially careful about using it on porous surfaces such as unpainted cement. I will share a personal tragedy with all of you About four years ago when I was in Ohio I used Clorox to clean an unpainted cement surface. After it was completely dry I put a four week old puppy and her mommy on it. I covered the surface with newspapers but when Sparkle urinated on the papers, the urine and the Clorox created deadly chlorine gas. Chlorine gas is heavier than air thus it stays very near to the ground. My little four-week old baby died screaming thank goodness at least it did not hurt Sparkle. But I will never forget my beautiful little puppy who died due to my stupidity and I never use Clorox on a cement surface unless I dilute it heavily about 30 parts water to one part Clorox. It works very well on tile or other non-porous surfaces.BOB GOODRICH MAYNARD WOOD Hampton, VAReceived the October Review today and the front cover brought to mind a lovely lady, Mrs. Winslow the breeder of Ch. Anwins Lil Sirius. I first met Mrs. Winslow when she wanted a black bitch to breed. She said she was seventy years old and wanted to breed some good Poms before leaving this old world. She asked me to help her, and I did the best I could for this wonderful lady.Before passing one, she bred Anwins Shadow Gay which she gave me as a gift. We made a champion of her, and that pleased Mrs. Winslow very much, but her pride was Sye. She got to see him get both his four point majors and this put her on Cloud Nine, but she never got to see him finished.As a puppy, you could not ask to see oi better and she asked me to help give him good name. We settled on Lil Sirius, as tl dictionary quotes, Sirius is the dog sta brightest star in the heavens. I remembf Sue Goddard saying, I hope he will be good and live up to his name. Than goodness he has done that, as he hi improved with age and each time I see hii he looks better.As of now, his winnings are better as I has a Best in Show and more group wins t his credit. I would like to think that th wonderful lady is up in the heavens lookin down on us, knowing just how her Sye doing.A special thanks to his owners for carin and showing him for all to see.CAROL A. GALAVICH Powhatan Pt., OHJust a short note to discuss a somber, bi important subject to all of us. How man of you have made out a will and hav decided what your Poms placement woul be, if something were to happen to you O even more importantly to you and you spouse or partner simultaneously. Woul your beloved babies then become part o the estate and their welfare be decided b someone who possibly doesnt know thei value, and who certainly does not love then as you do At that time, their only though being, What am I to do will all thos dogsWell, that is what happened to a frienc of mine who recently passed away. His las concern before lapsing into a coma was foi someone to feed his dogs. But, unfor tunately he had not made a decision itwriting for the continuation of his breeding program of the placement of his dogs upor his death. This placed unnecessary stress or other elderly family members who wen unacquainted with dog care. Variou people said they should get them, but nc one knew who really should get them. W will always wonder if his wishes wen carried out.Now that I have decided that this wil4 POMERANIAN REVIEWlever happen to me, I have found just how iifficult this matter can be to resolve. I vould be interested in your ideas on this ssue.DAN JO ELLEN MERCER Big Springs, NBCongratulations to the members of the ^hoenix Pom Club for hosting a super how. A big bunch of work by a great lunch of peopleLUCILLE E. MEYSTEDT Rusk, TXWhat few Pom Reviews Ive received, ve really enjoyed.In the April 1982 issue, I enjoyed the irticle by Diane Painter, Ethics in the Ring. I only wish shed send it to all dog nagazines. Everyone in dogs should read he article, exhibitors and judges alike.SUE INMAN Batavia, NYI would like to make a suggestion. I am ilso a member of the Papillon Club of America and I just received the pictorial hey printed. I found it most enjoyable and vould like to see the same done for Poms, iince a lot of Pom enthusiasts dont get to ee all the beautiful Poms in the country, his would give everyone a preview. Breeders could picture their winning dogs is well as bitches and an obedience section ould be added.Papillon members were each send one, hen other copies were offered for sale. It vould also help to make the club a little xtra income and offer members and those nterested in Poms an opportunity to jecome aware of what is happening in the ireed.While Im writing, Ill relate an episode hat has troubled me a great deal. I have jeen looking for a parti-colored male or emale puppy for showing, as well as my breeding program. I must say I have jecome quite discouraged over the years in .rying to locate a breeder who will orrespond. Ive written all types of letter luring a 5 year period with no responses. Finally, this fall I wrote a breeder of partis, telling her just what I wanted. Ipreferred a male at least six months old for breeding and show, but not necessarily show quality as breeding was most important, depending of course on what made him not show quality. She explained in her reply that she was expecting a spring litter. I replied to ask for pictures of the sire and dam to get an idea of what quality the pups might be, as I had never seen any of their breeding. I also inquired as to what price might be expected.I was really upset to get a quick response and learn the pups were already here and all sold except one male who was not show quality because of markings he didnt have a blaze. The biggest shock was that even though this puppy was not showable, she wanted 900.00 for him because of his color. I can assure you I would never pay this price, even if I could afford it, just for color.I am really discouraged lately with this dog game. Ive only been an exhibitor and breeder for 5 years now and Ive tried to breed the best, be honest with puppy buyers and be a good sportsman. The dog game is fast become a rich mans game and its the little breeders like me and others like me, who are going to be shoved out of the sport.When I first got into Poms my breeder gave me a break which I always will appreciate and I also try to pass on. I understand that dogs are not cheap to raise, feed, show and whelp. I also understand the amount of time, energy and hard work to takes to do things right. I try to keep my puppies out of inferior pet homes and sometimes its not so easy to tell. But judging people on just how much they can pay for a dog can not always be the best policy. I have a cousin who has told stories to get dogs, paid high prices and then starved the pups to death. I now own the last one he had. She is a miniature poodle, blind at the age of 4, toothless and has a skin disorder that has to be treated constantly. This has made me wary of who I sell to. Id never want one of my puppies to suffer as I know she did. There are ways of telling who would really care for a dog and his checkbook isnt always the best way.I would like to hear the opinions of others on this subject.POMERANIAN REVIEW 9CIRCULATION MANAGERWanda Roach 612 Woodrow Ave. Modesto, CA 95350POMERANIAN REVIEW SUBSCRIPTION16.00 Yearly by Second Class MailCanada, Mexico Foreign 17.00FOR FIRST CLASS MAIL Send additional 5.00 at time of subscription renewal.Important InformationAll Members Subscriptions will start with the April issue each year.BACK ISSUESAvailable at 2.00 Each1970 July 15, Oct. 681971 Jan. 40, April 351973 April 721974 July 771975 Jan. 701976 Jan. 115, April 61Available at 3.00 each1977 July 139, Oct. 711978 Jan. 23, April 34, July 361979 Jan. 5Available at 4.001979 Nov.1980 Feb. 100, July 170, Oct. 1401981 Jan. 100, July 130, Oct. 1001982 April, JulyINDEX TO ADVERTISERSArlint, Gloria Glo.................................79Bartels, Patty Patty...............................79Bauer, Alicia Golden Glo...............50,51Baugniet, Dick Sally Pomirish..........1'Baxstrome, Kay Fred......................... 59Beam, Ruth Great Elms.........................8'Bell, Betty Rex Heritage..................33Braczyk, Edward Sunfox..................... 83Broday, Debbie Clear Creek................61Cannon, Ann Annon.............................91Carson, Morris Betty Emcee .. 56,57,89Ching, Josephine Guys N Gals............ 61Davis, Lennis Lennis.......................73,85Denver Metro Pom Club.........................35Dumler, Opal O My........................ 80,81Duncan, Trillis C.
