He is sired by Ch. Ronnies Roudy Rascal, a son of Ch. Randys Jolly Wee Reddy Freddy, and his dam is McKameys Twinkle Gold Star.My two very good friends Ronnie and Rebecca Mixon, Mixons Pomeranians of Albany Georgia, brought him to me at the Tallahassee dog show. When I first saw him I knew he was the type Pom I had always wanted before Rebecca even put him down on the ground to watch him move.This outstanding Pom is 52 lbs. very short bodied, cobby, carries a heavy coat which is brilliant orange in color, has a high tail set, small ears and is very unusually well up on his toes and has Personality Plus. He has yet to meet a stranger. The judges speak highly of his fire and stamina and most of all his outstanding movement around the show ring. His great legs have earned him one 4 point major and two 3 point majors from 3 of the top toy breed judges in the country. Truly a beautiful Pomeranian.Razz has 2 points yet to win for his championship title and I feel sure he will have earned them by the time this has been printed. I am tremendously proud of this fine Pom. I feel that he will go far in the ring, as well as contribute his many solid qualities to the breed.Last fall up to January 31, 1983 he won 6 Best in Match awards in every match he was shown in. He won Best in Match at the Atlanta Kennel Club All-Breed Match on January 31, 1983 over an entry of 383 dogs and the day before at the Magnolia Gordon Setter Club match over an entry of 462 dogs.Breeding and showing dogs is a hobby that I thoroughly enjoy. I only breed a few litters a year but I breed for the best thatNumber One Pomeranian which is hard to come by. I enjoy showing the Pomeranian more than anything in the world. Maybe one of these days real soon I will have a Best in Stow Pom.My thanks and love to all the nice Pom people Ive met at the shows and to the breeders whose help was invaluable and to the judges for my wins. Last but not least, to my very good friends Ruth Beam of Great Elms Kennels, Regd, Morris Carson of Emcees Pomeranians, Lennis Davis of Lennis Pomeranians, Edna Girardot of Scotia Kennels, Regd, Jodi Hudspeth, Toddie Clark and Marlene Scott Halsey for the many questions they have answered for me at the time I needed help.Harry Pennington 3115 Piedmont Rd.

Then our news would be hot off the press. I am sure some of you have already heard news from the Summer Specialty. It truly was a grand affair the people, the Poms, the conversation, the judging, and the hospitality. I dont know how a small number of people accomplished such an impressive show one that I will never forget. My sincere thanks to Michael Thorstad and the Denver Metro Pomeranian Club.There was a large entry at the Specialty and it held for the next three days at the all breed shows. There was every size, color and shape of Pom at the Specialty Show. I might add that each Pom was groomed differently some excessively, some not at all. Then there were some trimmed correctly, or as our standard permits. I say this with some reservations as it seems trimming a Pom for the show ring has become something of a guessing game. The question is how much hair to take off or how much to leave on. One thing did arouse my curiosity though. There were a few Poms shown one day trimmed as the standard suggests. Then the next day the same Pom was trimmed entirely differently, more hair off or it was sculptured. The handler or owner obviously thought the dog needed a different look to win. After all, winning is important. We do have a very explicit guide for trimming in the standard written by the American Pomeranian Club. We all agreed to abide by this standard and our judges assured us they would judge by our standard. I know whatyou are saying. When I go in the ring with my Pom, I am there to win over the other Poms. I am not there to be in competition with the American Pomeranian standard. What is one to doMy children say I take back things I said previously. Well, Im about to do it again. I said we were breeding better Poms today. I did not show at the Summer Specialty and this gave me a rare opportunity to sit and observe all the Poms being shown. It seems we have almost lost good movement. That was the one fault that concerned me most. I had no idea so many good looking Poms had such poor legs. I hope you will not take this personally. My intentions are not to belittle your breeding program or your beautiful Poms. I am only telling you what I saw sitting on the outside instead of being on the inside of the ring showing. I will be more movement conscious now. I know there is no perfect dog in any breed. I also think everyone has at least one hang up in judging a dog. Mine must be movement. I am sure I will not always be able to show a dog with perfect movement or even one with good movement. I sure will try to do everything I can to improve movement in my Poms. Now the question is what to do This is a subject that would fill this entire Review. The suggestions I can make, I feel you already know. The best suggestion is plenty of exercise. Sometimes it takes more than just letting the dogs out to run often. The reason for this is that some dogs, like some humans, are lazy. Then you have to take leash in hand and walk the dog every day. When the weather is as hot as it has been this summer, one has to exercise after sundown. I am assuming you try to breed for good legs. Dont breed a poor mover to a poor mover. Look over your Poms, watch them move freely. If you dont have one you think is a good mover, maybe you need to go outside your kennel to breed. We cant breed good moving Poms overnight. It takes time to breed out any fault, but today is a good time to start.continued on p. 76.6 POMERANIAN REVIEWin,roduces\Ch.

Atlanta, GA 30305 404233-47988POMERANIAN REVIEWAmerican Pomeranian Club Summer SpecialtyDenver, Colorado May 27,1983by Anna La FortuneThe 1983 Summer Specialty displayed some of the nicest Pomeranians Ive seen in the past 2 years. The Pom males were of exquisite quality and most of them graced the following 3 shows with their presence. I was very impressed with a puppy dog class of over 20 beauties a sight to behold. The classes consisted of such uniformly nice Poms that it made me feel very proud of my breed. Pom breeders truly deserve recognition for the standard of dogs in the show ring today. My hats off to them.Our breed was very much in the limelight at all four shows.With ten top champions competing it was understandable. Ch. Millbrooks El Gran Caballero, owned by Anna LaFortune, won the Specialty and was 2nd in the Group. Ch. D-Nees Darin Duffie, owned by Frances O. Smith DVM and Nadine Hersil won the breed, Group and Best in Show at one show and then two days later again won the breed and went third in the Group. Ch. Bi-Mar Sundance Kid, owned by Mary Rosenbaum, won the breed and also the Group. It was a very impressive showing for our breed in four shows. Lets keep those little guys up thereIve been so carried away with our gorgeous display of Poms that Ive not mentioned what a wonderful time everyone had. The Denver Metro Pom Club really went all out to welcome the out-of-towners and make them comfortable. The parties and pot luck dinners were fantastic. They must have worked 25 hours a day in preparation and they certainly do have some good cooks in their crowd. I know how hard it is to put on a successful show.

The art work was done by a new Oregon artist, Diane Clark-Bryant. Since I am the artist, I will resist describing the Trophy Table where my work was displayed, in glowing terms. I would however like to thank the breeders who were kind enough to loan me their show photos of several well known Poms to use as models.The top four poms, BOB, BOW, BOS and Best Puppy are to receive individual original oil portraits painted from their show photo. To date, the Best Puppy has been painted and delivered to the winner. I would like to remind you winners to send me your show photo, or one that you especially like, so that I might get your painting done.A potluck dinner followed the show with everyone ready to relax and settle down to earnest Pom talk and catch up with those from out of state. Judge Brown and Bea George joined us for a wonderful selection of goodies. John Nye was our chef again this year.To finish out a long day, the club held its monthly meeting following the potluck andbefore we knew it we were busy discussing our upcoming match, scheduled for October 1, 1983 to be held at the Jantzen Beach Mall in Portland . . . and our next specialty which will be in December in Portland.It is time then to thank all of those who worked so hard to make this summer specialty a success Averil Asbeck, John Nye, Nancy Turner, Jean Schroll and those others who supported the effort. And congratulations again to the winnersFor most of us it was up bright and early the next morning preparing for another day of showing. The specialty was followed by three days of all-breed shows. Ch. Bi-Mar Sundance Kid, bred and o ned by Mary Rosenbaum and handled by Jean Schroll was only able to stay Saturday and Sunday, but he was Best of Breed on both days plus taking Group placements. On Monday, Sungolds Levi Smart N Classy took Best of Breed. He is bred and owned by Anna LaFortune.NCPC, contdfrom p. 10.This may well be my last news from the NCPC as our tour in Monterey is nearly up.

We have enjoyed the pleasure of this club and the people we have made friends with, and go on our way all the richer for knowing them. We wish you all well and lots of success and thanks for making our tour interesting, friendly and happy. To one and all, the best of everything.

Until next time . . .20 POMERANIAN REVIEWOne experience in Black Skin and Extreme Hair Lossby Fran BosmannIm not a veterinarian, and this article is as the title says just one experience, but if I can help others be alert to the problem then maybe some good will come of it.My Pom champion was a typical Pom sound, happy, very healthy. She had never been bred. She was bored with staying home, so I took her to a couple of shows to celebrate her 6th birthday. We didnt win, but she enjoyed the limelight again. About a week later when I was grooming her, I noticed a small bare spot about the size of a nickel on her thigh. It looked like her undercoat had gotten caught on something and had been pulled out. Nothing else was different except she was slowing down, and since she had always been overly exuberant, we considered her new dignity inevitable and probably beneficial.The spot remained bare, but since it didnt enlarge or give her trouble I didnt worry about it. A couple of months later however, I noticed another spot on the side of her neck about the size of a dime. I brought her to my vet and he said it looked like an allergic reaction to fleas. Since she had never prior to those last shows had fleas lucky me and she had picked up a few stubborn ones I was still fighting, I considered it possible and worked hard to eradicate the fleas. The vet meanwhile gave her a steroid shot and some cortisone pills. She was not then and never was itchy.A month later, we had no fleas but both spots had enlarged. I returned to the vet and mentioned the possibility of hypothyroidism low thyroid level because I had heard it was fairly common in Poms and created some of the same problems. He told me to administer .2 mg. of synthroid to her daily. No tests were taken. I should have been more suspicious of medication without test results. Within a week, herbehavior had perked up again to her normal lively self, but she was continuing to lose her hair. She now had an area like a band completely around her neck that was hairless. The area on her leg was now about a 2 circle. The hairless areas were now turning a dark gray and were getting wrinkly. I returned to the vet and said we werent getting results with the medication, but he said it took time and recommended additional vitamins.We were still getting no results and my pretty little champion was now far from pretty. I was getting desperate. Also, since I do not have a kennel, all my Poms are house dogs and I was very worried about whether this unknown problem was contagious. I insisted the vet take skin slides to rule out a rare type of mite or fungus. The slides were negative and he told me to just leave the poor dog alone.I completely changed her brand of dog food because in my reading I had come across a type of allergy where the dog can no longer assimilate the protein from his food after a long period on the same diet. I figured it was worth a try.By August, 10 months after the onset of the problem, the poor dog only had hair on her head, front legs, rear legs from the stifles down, tail, and the area of her back under and around her tail. She had some coat on her chest, but a greatly reduced amount. You could almost watch the condition spread, as more and more of her skin turned gray and lost hair.She started to tremble violently, we thought from the cold, so we put a sweater on her. She seemed snappy and short- tempered, and she acted embarrassed by her condition. When I mentioned this to the vet he laughed and gave me the name of a dog psychologist.

She told me I must not be feeding her properly. I wrote to another well known breeder who very kindly sent me some suggested cures for skin troubles. Nothing worked.Thinking back, one of the worst obstacles to getting help was the accusatory attitude of almost everyone. No one would admit to ever encountering anything similar except in someone elses dogs. Maybe because Im relatively unknown admit it you never heard of me, right people assumed I must have done something incorrectly with her.Also during the summer, I began to notice I was having a hard time keeping the water dishes full. Since I had recently doubled my number of dogs, from 2 to 4 and I also have a 3 year old daughter who loves to play in water, I thought that was my problem but I kept an eye on them to monitor who was taking what. My elderly dog has always been a drinker, but I noticed a marked increase in my champions drinking.At this time also the Gazette published a article on endocrine disorders Sept. 1982. If you have not read this article, I recommend you do, as it is excellent and will explain technically some of the things Im going to mention from an owners viewpoint. The article also stressed the fact that some of these conditions are life- threatening. My vet was still telling me to ignore the problem, but frightened by that article and my dogs rash brought about by my latest cure treatment, I called another vet about an hours drive away who has an excellent reputation in dermatology.Over the phone I summarized the problem and the action taken so far. The only test taken, unfortunately, was the skin slide I had requested. I brought her into the hospital and she had to be keptovernight for a day of extensive tests.The tests showed that my champion had hyperadrenocorticism, commonly known as Cushings syndrome. This is caused by an overproduction by the adrenal glands. There could be many reasons for this see the Gazette article, but in her case it was caused by a pituitary tumor. While tumors may not be a common problem, Cushings syndrome is, so please dont write this case off as a weird situation. This vet said that Cushings syndrome is fairly common and could be artificially induced, so please be alert to the possibility.As the problem has many causes, there are also several methods of treatment which could be considered. Naturally, you will want to discuss them with your vet.Surgery was not recommended for my dog. She was treated with 2 different oral medications in varying dosages. It was extremely important that close contact be kept between me as observer of the dog, and my vet as medical supervisor. Depending on her responses, the dosage of the medication was altered several times, and I usually spoke with the vet every other day. She improved and was regrowing her coat when she died suddenly on Christmas Eve. In our case, treatment came too late.I want to review her symptons for the possible benefit of others. My dog, while approaching middle age, began to slow down considerably she lost coat so that eventually her skin darkened and wrinkled her personality changed slightly she grew intolerant of the cold her water intake and output increased and what should have been the key, she was not itchy.If your dog shows any of these symptoms, consider Cushings syndrome and dont be afraid to get a second opinion. Remember this started out as a seemingly mild problem. Lets not hide our problems lets solve them.POMERANIAN REVIEW 23Photo by Heather Drope-MarchioneCan. Am. Ch. Hillsboros Golden ChipAM Ch.

Nokesville, VA 22123 703 368-134126 POMERANIAN REVIEWUnlocking The Door to Success in the Dog Gameby Gwen SolmerReprinted with permission from Terrier Chit-Chat Springer 1982.I think that one of the biggest tragedies of the dog show game is that very few people ever take it seriously enough to learn about some of the really significant aspects of the activity. Since anyone who owns a purebred dog can show it, many people never get past the pet stage. Their dog is usually a member of the family, like a child. The owner is never really objective about the animal. Since his dog is perfect already or just as good as Mrs. Whats Its dog, most show people never see much reason to change what they do. To my mind, the main objective of a show breeder is to produce a home-bred special a truly outstanding dog. It is pathetic and ironic that virtually nothing is written anywhere about how to produce that truly exceptional dog. One can never produce a special unless he has some idea of how to put together the necessary qualities that make up such a dog. First, people are blind and refuse to see the qualities that the big winning dogs have. True, handlers can make some dogs but most handlers will not waste time campaigning a dog that has no chance of doing some decent winning. Secondly, people are egocentric, stubborn and may even have some legitimate problems like a finite income, lack of time, lack of drive it is not easy to achieve excellence but it can be done and should be done by more people that are currently showing dogs. Anyone, with persistence, can eventually get a blue ribbon. How sad it is that so many people will never know the thrill of winning lots of big blue Group 1 ribbons. It is not a matter of luck. It is a matter of becoming educated. Unfortunately, the only school available in theDog Game is the School of Hard Knocks. The tuition is exorbitant in both money and emotion and few are ultimately willing the pay the price.I wish that there was more meaningful information avialable for the novice. I also wish that so much mis-information were not continually bandied about until the novice is so hopelessly confused that he has no idea of which information is good and useful and which is useless, backwards and sometimes downright dangerous. My career in dogs began with much information and smiling show folks who told me my doggies were wonderful I was building lots of points for theirs, you see. When I finished my first champion, I suddenly became a monster with two heads. Even today I am amazed at the horrible things I am credited with doing. At the time I was being wooed by my friends, some handlers who happened to be real dog men were telling me that my doggies werent so hot and were offering me ways to improve what I had. It took me several years to decide that the handlers who hurt my feelings were telling me the truth and the so-called friends were cultivating me with a high grade of fertilizer.I knew when I began showing and breeding dogs that I wanted someday to produce a special. I read everything I could find, talked to breeders who had lots of champions, looked at lots of dogs and then stepped boldly forward . . . and proceeded to do almost everything wrong. Looking back on it, I am amazed that I didnt completely destroy everything I was trying to build. It confounds me even now to realize that I was fortunate enough to finally figure some important things out. What is interesting to me is that when I loose some of my pearls of wisdom onPOMERANIAN REVIEWtAicfoenobPresents with great pride our newest very special tiny girl.Morenos Lady in Red Robin Mist5 months in photo.-------------------------------J"rWMmry-n .kSKvSt,.v\AVW'Our special thanks to Jestoms Red Robin, Timmy and our Morenos Sugar-N- Scotch Mist, Misty for producing this elegant little girl.

People in the dog game do not think for themselves, see with their own eyes and use their own judgement. Instead they rely on authorities who may in fact know very little. Ignorance is compounded on top of ignorance and soon people are believing the most outlandish nonsense and practicing it religiously. If one wants to breed a special, one can forget almost everything else he has ever heard and concentrate on one simple, frightening word line-breeding.It is astonishing to me that supposedly enlightened individuals are terribly afraid of linebreeding. One lady who I know absolutely refuses to do any close linebreeding for fear of doubling up on faults. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that this lady owns some of the finest studs, whose worth shall never be felt because due to ignorance, they are mainly bred to outcross bitches and their best traits are being hopelessly diluted and lost. This lady has never been able to breed dogs as good as her studs who were purchased for her by an agent with a good eye. Simply, she refuses to see that the look she loves can only be passed on through line-breeding. True, faults appear, but those faults appear pretty regularly in outcrosses as well. Breeders like this woman are doing a tremendous disservice to the breed by not allowing their dogs to be used properly. The lady in all seriousness thinks that she is wholly correct and is one of the main saviours of her breed and a paragon of virtue to boot. Well, she isnt doing me any favors, nor helping anyone who would like to produce a dog that looks like her specials. Fortunately, there are ways to get around such stupidity. They are time consuming and frustrating but the final creation of that one beautiful puppy that becomes your special makes it finally worth all the trouble.I started my breeding program with arangy bitch who didnt like to show. For the sake of this article, I shall call her Mandy. Mandys father was Ricky, a short-backed male who presented a balanced picture. Unfortunately Mandy took after her long-backed mother.Her breeder assured me that Mandy was a very nice dog and as a novice, I did not know enough to agree or disagree. In fairness I must say that I was glad to get this bitch, faults and all, for here at least was a start. For her first breeding, I bred Mandy to her uncle, Rocky, who was her fathers brother, and a multi-Best in Show winner. Six puppies were born, two boys and four girls. After having several knowledgeable people critique the litter, I ended up choosing two bitches to keep for myself. They turned out to be the worst ones in the litter. One pup grew up to be a carbon copy of her rangy mother. The other one looked more like her daddy but had hormonal problems that flared up around her seasons.I bought a male puppy who eventually grew up and finished his championship. The dog had a beautiful head and a nice short back and I figured he would be perfect as a stud for my longish bitches. All the books I read always told me to counterbalance faults. I bred him to my rangy bitches and would always get one striking puppy in each litter. The pup seemed to get the best features from each of the parents who were an outcross match.Stupidly, I wondered why I wasnt getting more puppies that either looked like my stud or resembled the illustrious Rocky and Ricky. The lady who I mentioned before as being the one who did not understand linebreeding owned both Rocky and Ricky. She would not think of allowing me to breed bitch puppies like Missy back to Ricky. Incredibly, she owned a third brother, Ronnie, who was equally gorgeous and had I been able to use him, would have produced the most incredible pedigree ever.

Rowdy was a half-brother to my Missy, the line-bred but long-backed bitch who took after her Mom. Since Rowdy was as close as I could get to the Rocky-Ricky- Ronnie line, I decided to breed Missy to him in an effort to stack the deck the genes I wanted to double up on to produce the superb physical appearance. Rowdy had another asset in addition to being beautiful, he was also intelligent and emotionally stable, two things in short supply in his breed. Rowdy was the product of an outcross. Apparently he heavily favored his father, taking most of his excellent features from that half of his pedigree. I figured that the worst that could happen would be the appearance of some genetic defects that I was used to seeing anyway in outcrosses. If I could get puppies that resembled Rowdy, Rocky and Ricky, I figured the genetic gamble was worth it. What I ended up with was a beautiful litter of the nicest puppies I have ever produced. Incredibly, all the puppies had more of the fine characteristics of the stud dogs than ever before, and at last, thank goodness, the dominant influence of my mediocre females had been overcome.Amongst the sappy platitudes that I regularly heard was you should buy the best bitch you can get to start a breeding program. I have met a few so fortunate individuals. Most dog-folks struggle along with not-so-perfect specimens and try to do the best they can. Few breeders will sell a decent bitch to a novice even if they have one available. Breeders who are at all knowledgeable keep their best bitches for themselves. If the novice is able to get a bitch of at least breeding quality he has made a step forward in producing a truly excellent dog. It is at this point when the novice breeding discovers the tremendous lack of any useful information on how to proceed further. There is too much in the literature that is confusing and misleading.If the novice wants to produce a truly excellent dog, there is a very simple, uncomplicated thing that he must do. Since it is so simple and basic it is terribly easy to ignore. First, the novice needs to look up some of the stud dogs in his bitchs pedigree. Are any of them available for stud Are any sons of those dogs available for stud The most important question is, does the novice like what those dogs look like Is there a family resemblance that he would like to duplicate in his own puppies If the novice is fortunate enough to have a good quality and big name winner in the pedigree, he is in luck. He can either breed his bitch to that dog or find a son or brother of that dog that resembles him.Let us assume that the novice fancies a stud dog who does not appear in his bitchs pedigree. He breeds his girl to that dog, an outcross. A healthy litter is born but none of the pups are a duplicate of Daddy. The novice, if he is a turkey, will cry that the stud dog is no good. If he is smart, he will keep his mouth shut and grow out a few of the bitch puppies. He will take one of those bitches and breed her either back to her father inbreeding or breed her to a half-brother same father or brother of the stud linebreeding. Then, and only then will he get pups that have the genetic strength to physically resemble the illustrious sire the novice admired. Total outcrosses, even to dogs of similar type, simply will not produce the concentration of genes necessary for the duplication of physical appearance.It is strange that nowhere in any book is information ever written about the inheritance of physical appearance. Books talk about coat color and other details but the thing that is most significant about linebreeding is that it produces dogs who all look alike. Rowdy, Rocky, Randy, Ricky and Ronnie are all more alike in appearance than they are different. I didnt want just dogs with shorter backs or better heads, I wanted dogs that looked like those fivePOMERANIAN REVIEW 3VJabil s Sun GoddessA'nAM Ch.

Loudon, NH 03301 603435-873132 POMERANIAN REVIEWboys. Exactly like those boys. The only way I could get such puppies was to stop listening to scare stories about genetic defects, quit listening to breeders who each owned stud dogs, stop reading dozens of conflicting books, ignore my local longtime breeders and do it linebreed. Double up on those dogs. I am amazed and disgusted that it took me so long to do it.One reason that people have so much trouble getting a handle on breeding is that other people are so close-mouthed andor ignorant about the facts that they never make much significant information available. Most breeding books contain little but generalities. My dear father once said, quoting some ancient sage, such things Are prefectly general, perfectly correct and perfectly useless. It would be very helpful if books could contain picture pedigrees so that people could see how physical appearance is or is not inherited. Pictures are not the best answer of course, as they can be quite deceptive. Seeing all the dogs is of course the best way, but usually impossibly impractical.A scattering of books here and there, usually oldish ones, touch on some of the things I have found that make up my philosophy and understanding of linebreeding. Such books may say that the tail male and tail female or the line containing the sire, sires father, grandfather, greatgrandfather or dam, dams mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, etc. are most heavily responsible for the characteristics of the puppies. They say that the middle part of the pedigree sires dam and dams sire does very little in affecting the appearance or temperament of the puppies. My experiences completely support that idea. In the simulated pedigree, Rowdy, Rocky and Rockys sire are all multiple Best in Show winners. It is naturally premature to begin hoping that my puppy boy from that breeding will continue on this winning streak but I feel that it is from such a pedigree that greatnesswill come.Missy is a mediocre bitch as are all the bitches behind her on the lower-most line. Incredibly, Mandys mother was a champion. If I continued to breed Missy to an outcross dog, Missy herself would continue to influence heavily the appearance of the puppies. I have two litters to prove it. It was only when I planned a breeding to include the Rocky-Ricky genetic package three times that I could get a heavy enough concentration of genes to outweigh Missys dominance for physical appearance.It does not bother me to admit that my breeding program started with a mediocre bitch. She had her faults but she also had some nice qualities too. What does bother me is that other breeders are using equally mediocre bitches and cannot see that fact. There is no harm in starting out with a less than perfect bitch. Bred right, she can be the grandmother of some fine puppies. I feel that the people who continue to breed and never realize the true meaning and implication of linebreeding have in incredibly serious problem. They may produce champions but at best their breeding program will be a hit-or-miss proposition with dogs of many physical appearances and little uniformity. They will ignore some truly perfect breeding due to fear and ignorance and downgrade their stock, all the while thinking they are improving it. I started with a mediocre bitch, true, but it is not I who have the problem anymore. I am on the road to the solution. The first step in solving a problem is realizing that you have one. This apparently is something that many breeders cannot or will not do.POMERANIAN REVIEW 3"Cbn.Ch.Chr^pendo ChatelaineVfv0Can. Ch.

Specialty in New York this year was full of surprises but perhaps none more pleasant than being asked for a Kennel Visit by president Marlene Scott. As an actual visit would be very expensive for the club, I agreed to write our story.Like so many others, I started in Poms with pet shop-bought pets. Fortunately, the female I got was very nice and she produced my first litter. Her name is Princess Cuchetta and she is now 11 years old and as happy and healthy as ever.In 1972, I was engaged to Jose who worked at the P.R. Medical Center with me. He too was hooked on Poms and had to have one. We contacted a friend who in turn contacted some breeders in the U.S. Through him we got our Tiny Pom of Sel-Sal. We sent for his pedigree and were surprised to find 13 champions in the 4th generation and even more so to find that he was a grandson of Ch. Sungolds Gay Cavalier He was mostly Scotia, Sungold and McKamey breeding.By the way, when we got Tiny we began to look for a kennel name so we decided to use the first 3 letters of our last names and join them together. My last name is Saldana and Joses is Selles, so this was the official beginning of Sel-Sal Pomeranians. In Puerto Rico, the woman never loses her name when she marries.In February 1974 we bought a black bitch from a friend who had obtained her in the States. She has the old Bombardier and Aristic blood in her background, and we called her Sel-Sals Little Plum. She later became our first champion.Jose and I were married in May 1974 and I moved to his apartment with Cuchetta, Tiny and Little Plum. In July we bred Cuchetta to Tiny and on Sept. 27 a litter of4 pups was born 1 female and 3 males. We kept the female which immediately began to show promise. She is called Sel-Sals Cherry Blossom, Chispy. I began to teach her to pose on a table when I gave her food. I would place the food plate on my ironing board and whenever she put a paw out of place I put it back. She slept in her crate in our bedroom at night since she was three months old and at that age took her first handling classes. At 6 months of age she got Best Puerto Rican Bred Puppy in Show at a national all-breed show.rAm. Dom. P.R. Ch. Sel-Sal Cherry Blossom, 7 Int. C.A.C.I.B.s. Shown winning her Am. Bred class in 1978 at the A.P.C. Specialty under Mr. Darrel Baker.We began showing Little Plum and Cherry Blossom together and always Little Plum would get the points. At that time good blacks were not the rule and when judges saw her they invariably said that she was too good for a black. We bred her to Tiny Pom in August 1974 and presented her in our show in September where she got her first 3 point major with competition from the States. In October she had a litter of 3 puppies a very peculiar combination of one black female, a very dark brown malePOMERANIAN REVIEW 3Ch. Sel-Sal Little Plum finished in 1977 at the Ponce Kennel Club under Mr. Buris Boshel.6tCh. Sel-Sals Mr. Personality, after a 3 yearretirement from the ring, finished in 2 straight showsand a mouse gray male. The female we sold to a friend who later showed her in obedience, getting her C.D. in 3 straight shows. Shes Sel-Sals Pepper of P.R., C.D. owned by Angie Ruiz.We kept the two males for 10 months, trying to decide between the two and finally sold the brown one. The Weimaraner- colored pup retained that color for almost a year after which he shed his coat and turned light orange We named his Sel-Sals Mr. Personality and he certainly has one. For the next 2 years we showed him together with his dam and his half sister, Chispy.Mr. Personality repeated what Chispy had done the year before and won best P.R. Bred Puppy at the national show, when only 7 months old. He got his first 5-pt. major later that year and then we went with he and Cherry Blossom to the Dominican Republic for the International. There the Toy Group is called the Companion Group and is especially strong, as it includes the regular breeds of the A.K.C. Toy Group plus most of the Non-Sporting breeds. Also there is competition from everywere in the Americas U.S., Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil and Puerto Rico. On Saturday Mr. Personality went BOB and Group 2 and onSunday Cherry Blossom bot BOB, Group and Reserve Best in Show.In February 1977 we went to New Yorl to attend the Specialty and Westmister witl Little Plum and Mr. Personality. The yea before we had written to the late Mrs. Mar Casey in hopes of becoming members o the APC but we didnt know anyone whe could be our patrons. I listed the wins ou dogs had and what we had bred to tha date. She trusted us and she and he husband became our patrons. She believer in us was willing to help newcomers. Thanl you, Mary Casey, wherever you areAt the Specialty, Little Plum won thf Open Black Bitch class and Mr. Personality got 3rd in Bred by out of 8 dogs. I was very pleased with our first try in the States, anc this at the Specialty no less. Little Plun finished in December becoming our firs champion.When we went to New York the nexi year, we began looking for some fresh, new blood to introduce to our lines. There we met Jodi Hudspeth and talked about hei Champion Razzle Dazzle. She told us thai she had a 2Vi year old male of the same lines which she would consider selling. Tc my surprise, the photo was of a dog I hac liked so much at the Specialty the yeai36 POMERANIAN REVIEWbefore. Two days after we got home from New York he was with us and we became the owners of Honeycrest Moonraker. Hes a marvelous little ball of light cream fluff which became darker with our tropical sun. By the way, contrary to the belief of breeders in the States, our warm and humid weather does not affect the coat of long haired dogs. When those dogs get here, after a month or so the color deepens, the hair get fluffier and grows faster. Moonraker had 9 points at the time but no majors. That same year he got his Dominican Championship, 2 C.A.C.I.B.s in the Dom. Rep. and his AKC championship.r TmAm.Dom. Ch. Honeycrest Moonraker, pictured at 7 years.After the show in Santo Domingo, we found that Mr. Personality was losing coat in a very peculiar pattern on his back legs, tail, and on his sides. The skin in these areas became black and smooth with no odor or itch. This was my first experience with Acanthosis Nigricans or elephant skin. Our vet told us that it was probably a hormone imbalance due to a tumor on his testicles and that he would have to be neutered. I told him to wait, that Id try other things first, and remembered having read in the Pom Review of a similar casewhich was cured with 707 Horse Vitamins. I found them in a 5 lb. paid and they cost just 20.00, but they are better than most dog vitamins which are far more expensive. I ground the pellets to a fine powder in my blender and gave him Vi teaspoonful mixed with his food. I feared he would not like it because of its strong alfalfa odor, but he ate just fine. Slowly but steadily that black skin began peeling off like a shedding lizard and new pink skin appeared underneath. His coat grew in tufts on these areas until he became fully coated again, 2Vi years later You could say this is perseverance and patience, but it was faith, and he was worth all the effort. He didnt have to be neutered or put to sleep and above all, he finished along with his half sister Cherry Blossom, in 1980 I cried with joy because both of them are my favorites.Meanwhile, we bought a bitch from Mrs. Bonner called Bonners Lisastar Texas Belle and bred Mr. Personality to one of my sisters bitches, which is also of Cavalier blood. She had 3 puppies, two females and one male. A friend of ours, Marlene Mortera, learned about the litter and told me that she knew a lady who was looking for two bitches. If I would sell her the male cheap, she would tell me the ladys address. My sister wished to sell them all because she needed the money, and anyway, none of them looked promising. We sold the male to Marlene for 75 and her friend did take the two bitches. This little male Pom pup was the funniest-looking Pom I had ever seen. He had no coat, very thin legs and was very fragile. He was definitely pet quality ... or so I thought.Marlene went to live in Georgia and when she came back one day for vacation, she brought the dog with her. I almost fainted when I saw him. Here I had in front of me the most beautiful dog I had ever bred His coat was enormous he had very, very tiny ears and fat legs. Are you sure its the same dog I asked her. She swore he was. So I told her she had to campaignPOMERANIAN REVIEW 3'this dog and she agreed. Shes a breeder of English and Gordon Setters and had finished some champions already, but never thought of showing Myrin. At his first show he got a 5 point major. Then he went on the January Florida circuit where he got two 3 point majors, each time going BOB over a lovely Special. Later that year he finished with another 5 point major. The puppy I had sold as a pet for 75.00 finished in just one year from start to finish But, thats not all. In the meantime, he got his Puerto Rican and Dominican Championships also. So, now hes Am. Dom. and P.R. Ch. Sel-Sals Lord Myrin of Moroco.Am. Dom. P.R. Ch. Sel-Sals Lord Myrin of Morocco. My 75 pet, would you believe Owned by Marlene Mortera.Mrs. Bonners bitch Lisa was sent to California with our friend Maripi Wooldridge, the only Puerto Rican professional handler in the U.S. She put 9 points on Lisa including a major. When we got her back we put another major on her here and she lacks but one point of her championship.When Lisa came back, Maripi told us about a puppy bred by Michael Wolf, which was offered to her by a handler in Colorado. She called us and since he was mostly of Bonners breeding we bought him to later breed to Lisa. Maripi finished himOfBonners Lisastar Texas Belle, campaignedon the west coast, in Florida and Puerto Rico. Needs one point.in a few months and we picked him up thi year at Westminster. He is Ch. Mike-Mar Strutter of Sel-Sal. He has the quality I like good substance, very sound legs, and sweet, foxy expression without too mucl muzzle.Ch. Mike-Mars Strutter of Sel-Sal, our latest addition to Sel-Sal Poms, finished in less than a year on the west coast.So, this is a recount of the dogs we hav finished. We have seven champions with total of 10 dogs. I still have Cuchetta Cherry Blossom, Little Plum and Moon raker and they are all happy and healthy.We live in a small house in the suburbs o San Juan which was once considered th38 POMERANIAN REVIEWcountry but now is the center of a rapidly developing community. The lots are small, roughly 500 sq. mts., but in P.R., being such a small island, most of the houses are on small lots.Half of the lot is occupied by the house and half is fenced in for the dogs. There we also have a greenhouse which contains over 1,000 orchid plants of all varieties. We compete also in Orchid Shows here and in Florida. For most of the day, the dogs are in an air-conditioned room and go out only in early morning from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. and late afternoon after 5 p.m.. This routine maintains the dogs in good coat and keeps them from barking too much.The dogs are fed dry dog food which they eat in their own cages, and are divided in small groups in playpens lined with newspapers. When its play time, I let them out of their playpens, and open the rooms door and out goes the whole troop They run and play around until they are too tired to move and they all come in again in a whole bunch. They are so well trained in this respect that, when I put Strutter with the others when we got back from New York, he followed them running, as if he knew his way.We hope that these new dogs we have will complement each other and our old lines, and well try to breed better Poms in all colors, trying to stick with our ideal of a 4 to 5 pound, breedable Pom with good substance, perfect soundness and the unmistakable foxy expression of the real Pomeranian.We want to thank the people that have helped us to learn about and groom our Poms the late Mary Casey, Marlene Scott, Bill Trainor, Jodi Hudspeth, Mrs. Dorothy Bonner, our dear friends Edna Girardot, Susan Fisher and Maripi Wooldrige. Thanks also to the judges who have awarded our dogs the coveted points. And to the Dog Fancy for being such a wonderful way to show off our babies, the beautiful, beautiful PomsDENVER METRO POM CLUB by Mona Mae CaldwellThe Denver Club probably had more fun, became better acquainted with our own members, pulled together more and had more aching feet than any other single group at the Summer Specialty. The Specialty for us was the fruition of two years of concern and sometimes doubt about whether we could really pull this thing off. Well, we did and if any of the people who attended had half the enjoyment and learned half as much as all of us, we will claim success.It was a pleasure for us to host our lovely president, Marlene Scott Halsey. Having her here made all of us feel a closer bond to the A.P.C. Chris Heartz, the Sweepstakes Judge, was just as sweet and pleasant as her articles in the Review have led us to believe she must be. Mrs. Keke Blumberg was our most able judge. Keke, escorted by her husband joined us at the banquet. We were delighted to meet them. At the risk of sounding repetitious, we will say it again. We were so glad you all came.On the post-Specialty new front, the Denver Club will be sponsoring a fun match in September. Our president, Michael Thorstad says that we will be applying for our sanction soon. Opal Dumler is realising a long-time dream. By the time you read this, her new kennel will be finished and her dogs living in luxury. Opal and her husband have recently built a new home. It was fun to hash over the Specialty with Dan and Jo Ellen Mercer, who with their children spent a night with us in Estes Park while attending the Arabian Horse Show. The club will get together next week and look over the pictures we took during the specialty.POMERANIAN REVIEW 3Heritage Kennels of Vermont introducesBells Treasure of Houston'W5BEST OFWINNERSPictured taking Best of Winners in Stowe, Vermont.

A more select minority knows that a hree-dog night is colder than a two-dog light, although not so cold as a four-dog light in that part of Russia inhabited by leople called Samoyeds.In the interest of those other than Samoyeds, who seem to be too cold to care vhom or how many they sleep with, I will iddress myself to rules for sleeping with wo dogs. For the few who have already nastered this technique I will later add a at, although I urge beginners to leave the at out.To achieve any sort of success, certain irbitrary conditions must be assumed, the 'irst one being that you must have a cind-sized bed. There is no point in lying lown in anything smaller. While the size or ireed of dog is not important people who leep with dogs know that before the night s over everybody collects into a pile the ondition of the dogs may be. Very thin logs, for instance, are lumpier. Youll totice that the Samoyeds have developed omfortable dogs.1 have selected the two-dog minimum jecause, as we shall see, it is the only way to tay in bed at all. The key word here is leverage. All dogs spend the night pressed ightly against their human bedfellows, but 10 two dogs ever sleep on the same side, fhis is, in part, an expression of the Let Sleeping Dogs Lie principle. It is also to reate leverage.Because the human is always in the niddle, held tightly in place by the dogs ind by his blanket which the dogs are leeping on top of, restlessness and ecurring cramps are difficult to handle, -lere is a tip when you first lie down andbefore the dogs settle against each side of you, spread your legs three inches apart. Stiffen and hold out no matter how great the pressure. When the time comes to turn over, bring the legs together quickly under the now slightly slackened blanket and revolve before the dogs wake up. As soon as you have assumed a new position, allow for those crucial three inches again. Otherwise youre a mummy for the rest of the night.Never spread the legs more than three inches. A dogs favorite place to sleep is in the hollow created by legs too widely spread, and once settled he and you are frozen into position until morning. There is a way out of this trap, but it is difficult to describe without slides. Dogs who prefer to sleep on their backs must be given turning space three times the height of the dog at the shoulder. Dogs who like pillows may be accommodated if you sleep on your side with the legs scissored so that each dog has an ankle for a chin rest.Above all, beware of curling. When the curl is reversed, both dogs are dislocated, resulting in low growls on both sides of you.When you are ready to add a cat, position is all-important. This is a trick the Samoyeds have long since mastered. All cats prefer to sleep in hollows, but no cat will sleep on the same side as a dog. Remember, you have only two sides. You must therefore become a triangle. Do this by assuming a horizontal divers crouch, thereby creating not only three more-or-less exclusive sides but two hollows as well. With one dog at your front and the other against your back, the cat can curl into the hollow at the back of your bent knees, separated from both dogs. All will then sleep soundly.continued on p. 80.POMERANIAN REVIEW lMix the best genetic ingredientsAnd you getTop producing sire 5 champions in 1982Am. Mex. Ch.

We, as conscientious breeders, ire not building biscuits ... we are . . . building living creatures. Or, rather we ire guiding the procedure. There are urprises in store for all breeders, for the nating of certain individual dogs, which iccording to theory should produce a ertain result, often does not do so.Mendels theory that law which lescribed inheritance of characteristics in inimals and plants has a great advantage, rhe breeder who has absorbed its principles I havent quite yet can be confident that he union of certain individuals from ertain strains will not produce certain mdesirable results. Certain strains, for nstance, do not in practice mix satisfac- orily, although in theory there is no reason vhy they should not.The relationship of ancestors is a vital 'actor in breeding, clearly due to the onsideration that related specimens are learer like each other than unrelated ones md that the nearer alike two particular jarents are, the greater is the probability hat their offspring will possess most of heir qualities and, in turn, the offspring vill be more uniform among themselves, slot wishing to venture from my subject the brood bitch, may I still define briefly he relationship of parents, represented in he following in order of nearness nbreeding Of the first degree Father laughter motherson brothersister the ast one the closest of all. Inbreeding of the econd degree Half brotherhalf sister incleniece auntnephew.Jnebreeding GrandfatherGrand- laughter grandmothergrandson grand- ongranddaughter 1st cousinlst cousin.

For this, there must be at least one common ancestor within 4 generations for instance the same grandparent.Outbreeding Hardly any relationship breeding. Purbreeding of course, but with no common ancestor within 4 generations. Here is something interesting to store in your memory bank for practical breeding purposes, it is needless to go back beyond the 5th generation Dominance peters out after this generation however, some recessive traits hang on much farther back in ancestry.But ... to our subject Brood Bitches It is a much-used aphorism that no stable is better than its mares no kennel better than its bitches. That, of course, is true. The most valuable acquisition a would-be dog breeder can make is that of a good bitch or bitches. Without one or more of these, the tasks of breeding superior specimens in any breed is a long, if not indeed a hopeless, one. It is better surely if the bitch herself possesses all the attributes of a show specimen hard to come by, but of great importance also obviously is her genetic background. It is in her bloodlines that her potential worth can best be judged.There are those who believe that a top bitch, regardless of what may be behind her in bloodlines, will as likely produce good ones as will another who, though less perfect herself, has a family of good ones behind her. Every experienced dog breeder knows that sometimes a superior, specimen will come from a quite nondescript hit or miss mating. Such a one is an accident or happenstance. To claim that a bitch is more likely to reproduce in her own image than that of one of her littermates, for example, is to demonstrate an ignorance of continued on p. 64.POMERANIAN REVIEW 4Ch.

McKee 7660 Idlewyld Road Richmond, VA 23225iince writing the last column on recordping, Ive had two experiences pointing reasons for such records. Maybe some you with sharp eyes noticed that, tough Gem finished his CDX in July of , it wasnt published until the July 83 tw Reports. After he finished, his tificate arrived from AKC in about 5 ks. On the envelope it said the title uld be published in the November 82 tw Reports. But it wasnt. Nor was it in ' subsequent Show Report. I wasnt too turbed, because the only thing I could ik of that was affected by the omission that I couldnt get the certificate arded by the APC, but since I wasnt ng to the Specialty, the point was moot, t then I sent in the registration on a litter d by Gem. Back came the blue slips, hout the CDX after his name. I called Gs show results department. They had record of his title Then why did I get certificate I read off the list of dates 1 places of his legs, and they assured me would be straightened out. In a few days cond certificate arrived. A phone call to registration department garnered the dee to simply add the X by hand to the e sheets. And finally the title was lfirmed in Show Results. AKC does ke mistakes, and you need records to get m corrected.had attended several shows on a week g circuit. After returning home, I was ually looking at the catalog from one of shows when, for some reason, my open hs registration number caught my eye.It was wrong Good grief, were her wins invalid I called MB-F, superintendents for the shows in question. They confirmed that they had her in the computer under two numbers. Their advice was that I write to AKC, explaining in detail, and hope for the best. I wrote, but after a few days, I became anxious so I picked up the phone and called. The nice lady I talked to was sympathetic. She was unaware of the letter Ill never know if it was lost in the shuffle or not. She said, since the results from those shows had not yet been posted, she would be glad to change my bitchs number. The wins were duly recorded and published.Lately Ive been wondering if Ive become the East Coast authority on diarrhea. In one week three people with three different breeds called for advice on dealing with diarrhea. Although the causes in each case were different, all three were severe andor prolonged and my advice was basically the same. When a dog develops diarrhea, your approach is two-fold. First, give it medication. Kaopectate and Pepto Bismol are mild, safe, and readily available. I prefer Bio-Sol M. It is stronger and gives faster results than the others. Usually one dose is enough. Secondly, stop his regular diet his insides cant handle it. I first offer baby rice pablum mixed with warm water or skim milk. Do not use regular milk because of the fat. After a meal or two of pablum, I add plain cultured yoghurt to the pablum. If the dog continues to improve, add cottage cheese or boiled chicken. All these are bland but nutritious. Gradually return the dog to his normal diet.Ive found another dandy use for Bio-Sol M. This spring I began showing a dog that got very carsick. Getting more experience riding in the car didnt help. I found that giving him a dose 3-4 drops of Bio-Sol M 20 to 30 minutes before putting him in the car completely solved the problem. Thank goodness.POMERANIAN REVIEWNumber 1 Pomeranian for 1982Ch.

It can also be used as a floor covering under the x-pen in the motel room or under the whelping box at home.A friend sent me a clipping from a newspaper in a large metropolitan area. It is a classified ad offering Peke-A-Poo puppies from the finest bloodlines in the East for 500 Of course we are outraged by this. What nerve What a fraud But wait a minute. Arent some of us guilty of this same sort of thing to some degree I mean over-pricing puppies. A friend called me last year to say she had been offered a puppy for 3,000. Now my personal opinion is that that is a lot of money for a puppy, no matter how nice the pedigree, how many wins the sire has had, or what guarantees are offered. The show career of the sire does not ensure quality in the puppy. I can think of one lovely Pom who had a fantastic career but never produced a single champion. Ive heard a number of reasons for these high prices If they want one of my puppies, theyre going to have to pay for it. After all, the sire has 3 BISs, If I can find someone willing to pay it, why shouldnt I get it What does all this have to do with bettering the breed Are we in this because we love the breed, because we are trying to breed a better Pom, because we want to share with others the joys of owning Pomeranians Or along the way have we become too interested in our own reputations or the almighty dollar Ethics and integrity require us to examine our motives and actions occasionally. The people I admire the most in this breed are ones who have not only been in it for a long time, but they are honest, generous, modest AND price their puppies reasonably.Thank you for your letters.

There is a pronounced stop with a rather fine but not snipey muzzle, with no lippiness. The pigmentation around the eyes, lips and on the nose must be black, except self-colored in brown and blue. A round, domey skull is a major fault. Light pigment on nose or eye rims is a major fault.We see many types of heads on the Poms of today. Have you ever had someone come up to you at a show and say, His face looks just like a little fox. They might be referring to the expression, but more than likely they are referring to the fox-like look of the head.There are different kinds of foxes. The Arctic Fox has a shorter muzzle than the red and grey fox, for instance. It also has a thicker coat. The standard does not refer to a fox-like face only expression. In fact the standard does not really give complete guidance to the type of head a Pom has or should have.The standard says wedge-shaped. Do you know how many different wedge-shape sizes there could be If you think of the many angles that could be in a circle or the number of different size pieces that could be cut from a pumpkin pie, what would each wedge look likeNow, apply this concept to the Pomeranian head. You can get many different looks. The skull can be wide between the base of the ears, even as much as a 90 degree angle, or it could be half of that size wedge a 45 degree angle. Anything less than a 45 degree angle may tend to give a snipey look. The length of coat around the sides of the head and cheeks give the appearance of a wider head.Another influence in the appearance of the wedge is the length of muzzle compared to the length of the head from the stop toPOMERANIAN REVIEWrVo rr^y pomsJ- -VIkL LO My ButtercupShown taking a 4 point major under judge Edward McGough at the Terry-All Kennel Club show.

Some breed standards give a io of comparisons such as the muzzle lgth from the tip of the nose to the stop ould equal one-third the distance between 5 stop and the occiput. What should it for the Pom This is where we seem to t the description of baby-face or foxy e. One persons idea of each of these scriptions does not always agree with other persons idea of the same scription. What is more, the terms jaby-face and foxy face are not used the standard. Should they be These ms are used by breeders and appear in vertisements often. If these terms did pear in the standard, should they be scribed in terms of length of muzzle mpared to length of stop to occiput, dor width of the wedge in relation to the gree of the wedge angleA round domey skull is a major fault. any Poms with a huge coat could have e appearance of a domey skull. Be sure iu determine whether or not a Pom does does not have a domey skull by feeling, it just looking at the head.Light pigment on the nose is a major ult. This is a more severe restriction on gment than a dudley nose. A iudley nose has no black on or around e outside edge of it and was never black, any breeds that have a bisque or cream Tor coat have a nose that become lighter the winter. The Samoyed comes to mind, lis is commonly called a snow nose. The se on an orange can even lighten mewhat in the center in winter. This ippens to other breeds with red or ahogany coats. The Irish Setter is an ample. A snow nose can be easily stinguished from a dudley nose by the ack pigment around the outside edge of e nose and also the presence of dark eye ms. A dudley nose goes hand-in-hand ith pink eye rims. Our standard does not low for a snow nose that can be prevalent winter in the colder states. A snow nose ill darken when the dog is moved to awarm climate in winter. I have seen it happen when a cream is taken on the January Florida circuit and to Bermuda in the colder months. I have also heard people say that giving vitamin B2 or adding kelp to the diet will bring the black nose back.At this point Poms are being penalized for a snow nose. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe we have the only breed standard that does no This is a gross disadvantage for northern Pomeranians.SAN DIEGO POMERANIAN CLUB by Anna LaFortuneOn June 4, Mr. Richard Lackey came from Arizona to judge our Futurity.

Both are of importance the overall quality and type of the bitch, as well as her family tree, but of the two, the latter will be found to have the more influence both for good and for bad.It is well to interject here that paper breeding is not alone the answer and may indeed be dangerous. Remember that inbreeding and linebreeding serve to accentuate not only the good but the bad points and when such breeding is used, strict selection must be madeAt the expense of over simplifying, my word of advice Given a foundation bitch who herself is of superior quality as compared to the average of her breed, and who also has a pedigree in which some top quality dogs appear one or more times, breeding to a stud dog who fits either pedigree-wise or characteristic-wise, cant miss.

They longer have Poms and moved a few ars ago to a beatiful community called oe Valley. Colleen planned her visit at the me time as Shirley Hoffman as they had en friends in California. Shirley arrived l the 10th and what a wonderful visit we id. She has only a limited number of sms now. She is a very knowledgeable dy and has made a deep study of genetics, tien, as an added bonus, which we did not pect, Stella B. Davis from Springfield, h. arrived on the 16th for a week. Stella id the Weegold Poms in St. Paris, Oh. for any years and did a lot of winning with r lovely Poms. She and Shirley did some ooming here and Stella was always on md for clean-up and feeding. Our little idbit was 4 weeks old at the time and iffany 2Vi months. Think they really issed all their aunts and all the love id attention they got.A rather interesting thing is happening re we think. I wrote in the Pom Review ue of October 1982, about givinghormone shots to a 5 year old bitch who had never conceived. She did conceive on the 17th day after show of color however the puppy was dead. Due to the fact that Punkin will be 7 in the fall, I didnt really plan to breed her any more. However, one afternoon a breeder friend was here and, more or less on the spur of the moment we grabbed her up and bred her to a male who I wanted to get breeding experience. I have no idea what day of her cycle it was, but fortunately did record the date of the breeding only one. Well, it is the concensus of opinion that she is definitely pregnant and now Im scared to death Havent had the vet check her as I dont want to drag her around, but well see.An experience Eleanor Miller had a few weeks ago leads me to believe we all should be breeding Yorkies, rather than Poms. One of their little Yorkies presented her with a litter of 5 ALL FEMALES Never saw such a healthy bunch of puppies and the little mother is raising them all by herself.MOVINGThe Post Office does not forward third class mail, so it does no good to record your new address with them as far as your Review is concerned unless you have paid for 1st class mailing or you pay for your third class mail to be forwarded at the time you place your address change with the Post Office.

Linda has shown many Poms and it many through obedience with reward- g success. However, she writes that her h. Sunswept Anticipation CD is truly the iy of her life. As much as she has loved id enjoyed all of her Poms, Skeeter is ally special. No wonder just read lout his accomplishments. Of course lots f credit goes to Linda. She is an excellent ainer and judging from her letters and the iccess she has had it is evident that she is a ost gentle, kind and understanding irson in her work with her dogs.Skeeter is one of her own breeding just hat she wanted in temperament, sound- ss and a good show prospect. When they arted obedience training last summer he roved to be an exuberant, willing to please own We made our training sessions lots F fun with many breaks during a session to lay ball, etc. Skeeter has a real sense of umor which makes training him really in. The biggest problem has been being rm with him. He always gets a twinkle in is eye when he does something wrong, as lough hes testing me.We also worked on breed ring training ad obedience at the same time and I never ad a problem with him confusing one with le other. He did quite well in the breed ng as a puppy, including winning Best in weepstakes and Reserve Winners Dog at le Clubs summer specialty show and a point major the same weekend. Toward le end of summer he dropped all of his oat so we spent the fall and winter onobedience training and coat growing. In late January he picked up another major in the breed ring. His first obedience scores that spring were 191.5, 192 and 193. More recently we went to Lewiston, Idaho with Skeeter entered in both breed and obedience. On Saturday he took the points in the breed ring and then took first place in Novice B with 198.5, tying for High in Trial. He lost the run-off to an OTCh Sheltie. On Sunday he again took Winners Dog and then BOB for 3 points, finishing his championship. Then he went on to a third in the Toy Group In obedience he was again first in Novice B with a 196. What says obedience ruins a dog for the breed ringSkeeter is also a proven and eager stud, which does not seem to cause any problems in his obedience training at all. Lets hope he passes on some of his wonderful qualities.They are now working in Open this great little team and should do very well. Retrieving was started at five weeks of age, and now he would rather retrieve than anything else in the world. Linda has not done any force retrieving with him.Many congratulations and best wishes for the future. It looks like it holds a lot for youBehind Champions, contdfrom p. 67.CH.

One evening a month ago my miniature dachshund Charm knocked over the kitchen trash can to investigate the contents. I had remembered that the only things in the trash were four unused tea bags. What I found in the kitchen around ten in the evening were four tea labels, but no tea or empty bags. Thinking only that he had misbehaved again, I cleaned up what little mess there was, scolded the dog and went about my business. At 1030 my husband and I went to sleep or what I thought would be sleep. Thats when the trouble began. Charm was running through the apartment at such a rapid pace one would think he was a greyhound. Picking the dog up, putting his favorite toys in bed with us, we again tried to go to sleep. This was to no avail. From 1030 that night until 2 a.m., Charm was frantically running and just couldnt find a place for himself. At this point I knew something was really wrong. We dressed, called the Emergency Vet Clinic and took our dog there. The veterinarian asked if anything had happened that evening. I remembered about the tea bags. At this point she called the Pennsylvania Poison Control Center. They told the doctor that there was no anti-toxin for caffeine poisoning. The dogs eyes were continued on p. 82.POMERANIAN REVIEW ILen Del Pomeranians PresentsCh.

New officers for the oming term arePresident Erin Hundley Vice President Virginia Niehouse Secretary Marjorie Baer Treasurer Catherine Bartos.We have some good workers in our club and it is going along with interesting programs, good turn out at meetings and more new members. Our newest hopefuls will be Randy Gemmel and Dana Plonkey, well known in the Poodle circle. They have acquired a showy little black and tan from the kennel of Bea George. The interest in this color has increased. Irene Harbins black and tan won the bitch points at the Specialty a year ago and this year another little black and tan owned by Pete Castaneda won. The dam of Petes bitch was bred by Irene Harbin. At the Seattle show this little girl by the name of CJs Crystals Isadora, finished her championship. This is the first champion for this new club member and we all wish him the very best especially since she was homebred and owner handled to her championshipErin Hundley finished her little male Que Sera Fire Fox of La Rita, also homebred and owner handled. He is a really flashy little dog who has done so well so quickly. Again, congratulations for another homegrown product. It is so satisfying to have done it all yourself.Best of Breed at the Seattle Show was Am. Can. Ch. Tomho Georgia Heatwave, who also picked up a nice Group III in excellent Toy Group competition.On August 6 we held our match, with the kind permission of Irene Harbin, in her garden. With the grass all neat, the blue standards and gold rope, the setting was just perfect as was the weather. I had thehonor of judging this match and fully enjoyed the day and the hospitality offered. I had an entry of 19 excellent Poms. Our members really are getting it together and coming up with some lovely Poms which will make the competition tough at the coming shows. Best Puppy in Match was bred, owned and shown by Linda Jackson. He is currently called Dinky. Best Adult went to Erin Hundleys Sungolds Red Rider and Best Opposite to a black, bred and owned and shown by Muriel Gunther, Char Murs Kara Zuezda. All three were exceptionally sound with good legs and movement. Good luck in the future with them all. I would like to thank all the exhibitors for their support and Irene and Sylvia Harbin for the work entailed in getting things ready and to Carol Russel, Match Chairman. We had a fantastic brunch afterwards with lots of homemade delights. Everything went so well and everyone really enjoyed the day, the food and the company.I am hopefully house hunting here in the Seattle area, but it does give me an excuse to visit with my friends and see the dog shows in between. Soon we will be leaving the Monterey Peninsula and moving on again. So until then, lots of good wins, good friends and good luck to all.Two Dog Night, contd from p. 42.The Samoyeds have left no written instructions in any language we can decipher for coping with early-morning scratching, possibly because they are always awake early scratching themselves. They must also have solved the problem of pretending to sleep while being closely scrutinized by various animals, but again they tell us nothing.Just as well.

How thoughtful I do thank each and every one concerned.I have been traveling, per usual. Drove to Kansas and Oklahoma in April and four Alabama shows on the way home. In May I took off for Detroit and the Michigan Pom Specialty. A lunch after the show put on by the club, of which I am a member, had all kinds of goodies and sociability. Sure had a good time and loved my win of Sweepstakes with a 10 month old male who later went on to BOW for 4 pts.Drove to Denver from Detroit for the A.P.C.

Bill and Lois Abjornson of Oklahoma kept an eye on me and escorted me to the banquet. This couple always make me feel so welcome when I go on the KansasOklahoma circuit. The entire affair was outstanding and I thought the Specialty Judges did a fine job. I did not set the world on fire, but was there and supported. Was proud of my male that had won in Detroit. He won a large puppy class and went all the way to Reserve at the Specialty. His class was larger than total entries at many of our shows. I can not say enough in praise of this Summer Specialty.Specialties being in my blood, I flew out to Oregon for the Columbia Specialty and three shows following all in the same place. Actually I flew to Seattle where Peter Castaneda and Robert Johnson met me and I stayed that night at their house. Drove to Portland the next day for the shows. They transported me to and from the shows and then delivered me to the home of Phyllis Andrews on the way home. She had a scrumptious dinner awaiting us and champaign to celebrate two nice wins Pete had with his female Isadora, from Bred by. This was a fun trip for me although Reserve was the best I could do. It was hot, on grass and my dogs are used to being inside with air conditioning and are not accustomed to heat or grass and they showed poorly. I did enjoy the shows and all Petes dogs and his nicely arranged kennel. The cook out put on by Jean Schroll and club members at her motor home after the specialty was not only delicious but resting and gave vent to sociability and meeting with fellow exhibitors.The two day stay with Phyllis was the frosting on the cake for I could relax, talk over things we had in common and see all her lovely dogs. Tish, Caviliers last living daughter is still lovely, although toothless. I have Trails End yet. These are the last living get of Caviler. I sincerely hopePhyllis will get active again for she surely did do much for the Pom Breed.Phyllis and Patricia Knapp took me out to the famous Snoqualmie Falls Lodge for their famous breakfast which consists of three courses. The lodge is located at the head of the falls and the view is just beautiful. First time I have seen these famous falls and the sight is just so exciting. I just love the scenery in Washington the hills, fur trees and green, green everywhere.Patricia Knapp is a dear friend and owns Poms. In fact, she was with Phyllis and me at New York last two years. She intended joining the Club but after listening to the bickering at the meeting two years ago, she changed her mind. This trip was another highlight of my life and Ill be wanting to go again.My next adventure is four shows in North Carolina. Ill come home, change dogs and head out for Des Moines Specialty and three shows following all in the same place. Doing something a little unusual this trip. Taking 2 males and 1 female needing only one major to finish. If Im lucky, maybe I can finish one. I have another bitch needing only 2 singles but have bred her and will show and finish her later. Des Moines puts on a good specialty and I look forward to being there.One final thought. If I, at age 80, can do My Thing so can you, so get in there and try. If at any time you think you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.JUDY WHIPPLE Bluffdale, UTI would like to know how many others have sent ads to the Pata Publications, P.O.

Pata Publications, Jan Linzy Pata 916 991-1475 and phone collect... perhaps this will get them on the ball Think how much interest they have earned on our money in the meantime.I would like to thank all the nice people I met at the American Pomeranian Club Summer Specialty in Denver. It was lovely to see old friends and make new ones. The show was beautifully put together and trophies just wonderful. The additional shows gave everyone time to get their breath and visit with one another and once again see all the beautiful Pomeranians Some really gorgeous puppies are coming up for the next Best in Show dogs something to watch for in the future.See you all at the showsSALLY BAUGNIET Mishicot, WIMany thanks to the Denver Club, Mike Thorstad, Opal Dumler and those donating the beautiful trophies for the Summer Specialty. I will cherish the original drawing by Sweeps Judge Chris Heartz donated for Best in Sweeps. The show, dinner, hospitality and transportation arrangements were all fantasticDOROTHY BONNER San Antonio, TXJudging PomeraniansWhen I was a young aspiring judge, an old-time Poodle breeder once told me that Poodles should be judged for elegance. Now that I am an old-time Pom breeder, I should like to impress upon the judges that Pomeranians should be judged for beauty and daintiness. Leave the gorgeous coarseness for Chows without transferringthis to their small cousins. Poms should have an appearance of delicacy, but with a sturdiness that rules out weedy types. They are lap dogs and not designed for anything more strenuous, so are allowed a little bouncy gait all of their own without the required rear drive that seems of great importance to many judges. Their legs should be straight, sturdy, but not spindley, and they should move with rears not too close and not too wide. Their fronts should be straight, backs short, tailset flat and high with profuse coat. A Pom cannot have too much coat. Those in the puppy class should be allowed to display their charming personalities, spirit and vivaciousness without censorship from the Judge.,T3 .,u -SS- IT W Jtipirir d mr- \a.1Rachel McKee daughter of Margaret McKee, Idlewyld Poms catches a few winks during a busy day showing dogs.
