Lenniss Tar Baby of Great Elms marked the beginning of real success in my breeding program. I had been breeding for several years but had not achieved the type of Pom I was striving for.1 inquired with Ruth Beam of Great Elms Kennel about a black and tan male. She said she had a nice little 4lA lb. male she would ship to me.When I picked him up at the airport I could hardly believe my eyes. He was a beautiful Pom with a huge harsh coat, magnificent head, short, short back and excellent bone. I couldnt wait to get him home.The first puppies by Tar Baby were noticeably typier and more heavily coated than my previous litters. As they matured I became even more excited about the quality of his puppies.I was very confident of Tar Babys attributes and felt he should have his championship. I called Marlene Scott Halsey and asked her to show him for me. She had seen Tar Baby at Ruths kennel as was delighted at the prospect of showing him. A few weeks later he came home a champion.I cant thank his breeder Ruth Beam enough for the opportunity to have owned Tar Baby. My special thanks also to Marlene Scott Halsey for finishing him for me.Tar Baby is gone now but his excellent type and quality lives on in his numerous champion get. I am especially proud of his two Best in Show sons, Ch. Lenniss Tequila Sunrise and Ch. Lenniss Tar Laceys Fox Fire.TABLE OF CONTENTSPresidents Message................................. 5Puget Sound Pomeranian Club.................5San Diego Pomeranian Club ................... 8Hypothyroidism......................................18by Claire FlesnerHelpful Hints.......................................... 22by Margaret McKeePom Club of Greater Houston................26Pom Club of Greater Baltimore..............28Dallas-Ft.

Tom and Jessie Stephens are back in the Seattle area and with a little luck, it will be a permanent situation. I extend my condolences to the Northern California Pom Club for they have suffered a big loss in the Stephens departure.Tom and Jessie have been members of our club for about 10 years. They, like myself, were introduced to the club by Phyllis Andrews and that is how I met them. Even though Jessie was in California she managed to keep abreast of the activities of our club and wrote our colum for the Pom Review. She has submitted many articles for our club newsletter also.Tom and Jessie have been an asset to breeders everywhere they have gone, and have left a large gap when they have had to6POMERANIAN REVIEWJerrie and Vanessa Freia P.O.

It is not meant to be a medical documentary. Recently there have been several articles in dog magazines, including the Pomeranian Review, about this disease so I know that an interest in Hypothyroidism does exist.Hypothyroidism is a condition due to deficiency of the thyroid secretion, resulting in a lowered basal metabolism. Tabers Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary. The classic signs associated with this disease are directly attributed to the low basal metabolic rate. For many years before a true test for thyroid in dogs was developed, we relied on the canine patient showinga Extreme hair lossb Over sensitivity to the coldc Prolonged Anestrus period of time between heat cycles.d General overall lack of energyIt was only in the late 1970s when accurate, routine thyroid testing was undertaken that we found many individuals and breeds were afflicted with lower than what were considered normal thyroid levels. They did not necessarily show the classic signs. Hypothyroidism by R.V. Hutchison, D.V.M., Pomeranian Review, April 1983. My dog Pepper is now 10 years old. When he was about 4 or 5 years old he had minor surgery which necessitated some of his hair being shaved off. It was then that I noticed that his hair took an awfully long time to grow back. For a time I wondered if indeed it ever would. Being me, I naturally took Pepper back to the vet to find out just what was going on. It was at this time that my vet questioned a thyroid condition. Remember, this was back in the mid and late 70s when lab testing for hypothyroidism was not usedmuch nor was it as sophisticated as it is now. Eventually most of his hair did grow back.Within a year Pepper had more minor surgery and again slow hair regrowth. This time the vet put him on thyroid medication that did help his hair to grow back.About 1980-81, Pepper started to lose his hair color and had spots of thinning hair. The vet took blood samples which showed a definite low thyroid function. Peppers thyroid dosage was increased. We then went through a peroid of adjusting and changing medication. With the increased medication, Pepper started to vomit, have diarrhea and an elevated temperature. He was put on another thyroid medication which did not work at all. After a few months of trying, we finally struck on the combination of medicine and dosage that was best for Pepper.In the spring of 1982, Chester had been with us for nearly a year. Chester is a very active senior citizen. A few times after playing hard, he would start to cough. This cough was usually controlled by the usual methods of honey andor vaseline. Under very light gas anesthesia Chester had his teeth cleaned and several pulled. A day or so after the surgery, he started a cough which I could not control. So back to the vets we went. X-rays and an EKG showed that he had congestive heart failure. He responded very well to the treatment and is no longer on any heart medication. He no longer coughs when playing hard. The best thing in the world for our little Poms is a good, caring, thorough vet. I am most fortunate to have one of this type.It was during Chesters bout with the cardiac problem that my vet mentioned that dogs with a low thyroid problem that go untreated are prone to develop heartPOMERANIAN REVIEW 1cv Sar chiU ^Can.

I wont go into all he medical facts about this. A blood sample was sent to a lab in the mid-west ind, as my vet had suspected, Chester was lypothyroid. So now Chester too is on daily thyroid medication although he never showed any of the classic signs of the disease.In the summer of 1982, Peppers teeth also needed cleaning. I had put it off as long as I could as he also has a collapsed trachea. Under the most minimal gas anesthesia, his teeth were cleaned and most of them removed. Right after surgery things did not go well. Pepper started having an irritated cough. The vet and I watched and medicated him for this cough for a short time, although to me it seemed like years. X-rays and an EKG were done and showed what we both suspected congestive heart failure. Blood work done at this time again showed that Pepper was not getting enough thyroid medication. He was treated with cardiac medication and the new thyroid pill. Shortly after that everything was back to normal. Pepper continues to have a heart problem.In the summer of 1982, Pepper lost most of his hair on his hind end. There was only one tiny tuff at the tip of his tail he looked like he had had a poodle hair cut and the rest of his fur became very thin. Pepper had always had a very thick and fairly short coat. Since this last March, his hair has grown and I mean GROWN His bib hairs are now four inches long and the mane hair is six inches long with wisps going up to seven inches plus I measured them, believe me. His tail has several tuffs of hair that are four to five inches long although it is not completely covered yet. He has fuzz over must of his rear with several tuffs coming in. His featherings on the legs and skirt are also getting think and long. It is unbelievable At this point it is hard to predict just how much more hair, if any, will grow back, but I am hopeful.The most important thing is that I am so pleased with Peppers progress right now. He is more active, happier, and full of that pom spirit.I have refrained from mentioning the name of the thyroid medication and the dosage as this can only be determined on an individual basis from the blood testing. Both nine pound Pepper and four and a half pound Chester are on exactly the same medication and dosage. In all that I have read about hypothyroidism in dogs and also with all my discussions with my vet, I find that no one is willing to come right out officially and say that the disease is hereditary. Everyone says that it has not been proven. I do not believe that. I am positive that it is. 1 have done a little research about this and have found a couple of interesting factors. Pepper and Chester are both hypothyroid. They have the same sire. There is another BCPC member whose Pom is severely hypothyroid. This dog is the son of Peppers litter sister, who has a severe heart problem. One of Peppers sons had a possible thyroid problem, but his owners moved out of state and I have lost contact with them. Another BCPC member had a young male who died young. He was hypothyroid and of essentially the same blood lines. Peppers litter sister has severe heart trouble. I mentioned the thyroid test to her owner but I never heard if she had it done or not. These heart problems cannot be cured by finding out if a thyroid problem exists, but for research it would be helpful.I wrote this article because I believe that hypothyroidism is a real threat in dogs. By sharing my experiences with you, maybe some other dog will benefit. I have already learned a lot about this disease and feel there is much yet to learn. If anyone would like to comment on this article or perhaps share your experiences with me, I would certainly appreciate hearing from you.POMERANIAN REVIEWrMy way's Stormy Night's DreamfABEST OF OPPOSITEALBANY KENNEL CLUB1983DAVE ASHBEYIn Stormys short career in the ring she has won numerous Best of Winners and Best of Breeds.

I wish I could have gotten this information in the October issue for your Christmas shopping list, but while theyre great gifts for kids, youll also want one for yourself.Recently my trusty diaper bag that I used as a tack bag died, and I found I couldnt replace it. One of my clients gave me a nice aluminum tack box. Isnt there a law of physics that says stuff expands to fill the space available Well, this new tack box certainly illustrates that point well. It is three times as big as the diaper bag and it is full. I added a number of new things to it, some of which I had been carrying in purse or suitcase a small travel alarm clock, a clothes brush, a spray can of spot remover, a small pump spray of carpet cleaner for use in the motel room, a container of moistT"towelettes for wiping hands, a roll of scotch tape good for emergency repairs of errant hems, a small metal Sucrets box for paper clips, thumb tacks, and rubber bands, a pump spray bottle of flea spray I spray the ground at outdoor shows where I set up X-pens, a big bottle of aspirin.A reminder puppies are by the sire or male and out of the dam or female, never out of the sire. It is confirmation that you wait for from the AKC title certificate department. It is conformation that distinguishes between shows and obedience trials. An easy way to remember the difference is to think the AKC confirms titles of dogs who have met the requirements and conform to the standard in the case of shows.A hearty Amen to Marlene Scott Halseys suggestion Oct 83 Review that we give our Poms more exercise. Ive suspected for some time that many fanciers dont think furry Toys need to be in top condition as far as weight and muscle tone are concerned. Judges and exhibitors seem to confuse fat with body and substance. One reason may be people trying to get weight on a tiny, tiny Pom up to the three pound limit. More often, it may be just because it is so hard not to indulge these little critters with extra tidbits. So what Does a Pom need to be in lean and mean condition like a hunting dog Yes, they have work to do too. Show dogs are subjected to all kinds of stress and need to be strong physically and mentally to take it. Breeding stock must be in good condition to stand at stud or carry and whelp puppies. We want our companion animals to live to a ripe old age, and they must be healthy to do so. Our obedience dogs cannot be carrying extra weight and be able to jump safely.For some Pomeranians, chasing each other around the yard may be sufficient. For others we need to toss a ball or Frisbee for them. Still others need more. Tiara-hadPOMERANIAN REVIEW 2Share PomeraniansCh. Emcees Texas PetesaysLOOK WHAT I DID\w\'1Snicker D Chassie BCh.

She was able to jump 8 easily, but struggled and often failed when the jump went to 10. She must jump 12 in competition. A friend suggested that she needed more conditioning, such as roadwork. I grudgingly agreed she might be right. So, in summer of 83 we began our walking program. I took the three dogs who are currently jumping. We began slowly. The first week we just walked around the block. Then we walked around two blocks for a week. At this point we had to double the route to increase the distance, because of the layout of the streets. This is a distance I guess to be at least a mile and, at a brisk walk for me, takes about 30 minutes. When we first began this distance, Tiara couldnt keep up. About half way around, shed poop out. I could tell because her gait became choppy and her topline would bounce up and down. While the Pomeranian gait has been described in print as bouncing, this is misleading since the proper Poms topline should remain level when hes trotting. I picked her up and carried her the rest of the way. After four days she could make the full distance on her own.We dont go every day. We skip show days and when its pouring rain. Drizzles dont stop us. In summer when it was hot, we left the house about 630 a.m. Now that it is chilly, we cometimes go at 715 a.m., between shifts of getting kids off to school. Other times we leave at 845 to walk Elaine to school. We never go before daylight or after dark. This is a suburb with lots of trees and not many streetlights. The three dogs are well trained but still go on leash. One chance in a million is too many to take. It is interesting to note that our citys leash law does permit me to take them out off-leash if they are under control which of course obedience dogs are.A brisk walk for me is jogging for the Poms. Theyre not required to heelformally unless I see danger in the form of a vehicle or another dog approaching. Then theyre told Heel or Watch me. Were very fortunate in that weve encountered no problem dogs. A couple of dogs have approached, up on toes and tails waving aggressively but retreated when I growled at them. Im a very dominant dog Check with your neighborhood joggers for possible sources of danger. If aggressive dogs might be a problem, carry a can of Mace or a water pistol containing a water-ammonia solution. This is good protection from muggers, too.I really enjoy these walks. It gets my sluggish blood going. I use the time for prayer, meditation, mentally composing this column, or simply soaking up the glories of nature. And the Poms love it In the morning, I open the gate and call Time to walk. All the Poms come running and Tiara, Gem, and Pooh Bear dash through the gate. The others politely remain in the backyard, knowing they dont get to go. The three lucky ones dance around eagerly, waiting for me to snap on the leashes. And Tiara She is the most eager. Once the leash is on shes raring to go and speeds out to the end of the leash. Come on, Mom. Hurry up. She is enjoying her obedience more, working with more confidence, and clearing the 10 jump. The half hour each day is well spentPermit me a few comments on behavior, man and beast. Last spring I received a letter from a woman in another part of the country which said, in part, We love our Poms and showing them, but the majority of Pom people weve been in contact with have been most disappointing. Some are APC members ... She is not specific as to what behavior she found disappointing, but its a sad commentary. Recently at ringside an exhibitor took me to task for what she considered a lapse of manners and sportsmanship on the part of her fellow exhibitors. Ironically, the very behavior shePOMERANIAN REVIEW 2K bVJPRESENTSCH. LENNIS RADIO ACTIONCh. Lennis Tar Sons Image x Lennis Dazie Mae of Tar BabyRadio Action has been bred toCh.

Now my purpose here is not to criticize anyone but to make some suggestions on how we can enjoy the hobby of showing dogs and the company of other fanciers more.First, try to take both your wins and your losses graciously. Do make an effort to say something pleasant to the winners. This is easy when you approve of the judges choices. If you think the dog is atrocious and the judge should have his head examined, you dont have to lie. You can still say, Congratulations, thats certainly a big win for you. Say something encouraging to the losers. Your bitch is lovely and shes showing better all the time. Try to find time to speak to new faces at ringside. It takes only a minute to say hello, introduce yourself, and ask some questions about the cute puppy. It just might be the beginning of a valuable friendship or the turning point for someone who was getting very discouraged.Develop a thicker skin. If a friend fails to congratulate you either in person or in the Review if a competitor makes unkind remarks about your dog, your breeding program, or your intelligence if someone doesnt choose your stud try to shrug it off or better yet, laugh it off. Word got back to me that a competitor had criticized a bitch I had shown as an old brood. I laughed. Shes right. The bitch is a good brood. Shes also a champion. The term brood was meant to be derogatory, but I chose to take it as a compliment. If you go around looking for offense and insults, youll surely find them.Emphasize the positive. Instead of counting up slights and hurt feelings, concentrate on all the good things that have happened to you and all the wonderful people youve met since youve been in Poms. Think of all the congratulations and compliments you have received. Be grateful for that breeder who took a chance on youand sold you your first show quality puppy. Think of all the advice and encouragement Pom people have given you. Remember the leashes held, the scissors or bait lent, the rides shared. Real Pom people have a were-in-this-together attitude. Real Pom people are like their dogs loving, warm, generous, forgiving, friendly.Nuts, this column has gotten too long, but I do want to talk about Pom temperament, good and bad, next time. Please send me your thoughts on that or any subject.POMERANIAN CLUB OF GREATER HOUSTONby Sue GoddardOur Club has recently elected new officers.President Olga Baker Vice President Tony Tellez Secretary Erika Moureau Assistant to Sec.

This location is fairly central. Since our membership is quite scattered over this very large city with some local members living as much as 60 miles apart, our president Olga suggested that we sign up for the meeting we want then leave the location up to the hostess.

Yall comePOMERANIAN CLUB OF GREATER BALTIMOREby Mary VickersHappy Holidays and best wishes for happy ring encounters and personal success in the 84 year.The Baltimore club began its New Year celebration back in September. The event its first birthday and what a party to celebrate.Dave and Dolores Watts opened their spacious and lovely home to over 40 members and guests. First on the agenda was a puppy match. Fellow member Brenda Everette was our judge. Selection was difficult and in the future you will definitely be hearing more from the winners. Best female was Judy Greens Roxie. Since the match Roxie has started her official show career and in 2 shows haswon twice earning 3 singles. Best Male and Best in Match belongs to Terri Moebuis and her pup Cheeter. Our club has been known for its exceptional and extravagant trophies. These were no exception and were even more extraordinary as they were donated and hand carried over 500 miles by Judy and David Layfield.With the hard task of showing our pups completed, hungrily we went in search of food. The tables in Dolores Florida room seemed to stretch for miles and were still overflowing. No one went hungry. Wait a minute, did the kids ever come out of the pool No one went thirsty either. Many thanks, Dolores for supplying the sodas along with the house. Then there was the Johnsons Pom-powerful Punch. You could definitely see the world through Pomeranian orange colored glasses.With stomachs filled and the puppies resting, the time was at hand for more sedate activity. Chairs were dragged into a semi-circle and Dolores as hostess was called on to present the clubs awards. Earlier it had been decided to present an award to those club members who had titled a Pom that was published in the AKCs Show Results in 1982. The proud owners of the following Poms received awards Ann Cannon for Ch. Annons Magnum Force of Scamp Tamara Carrell for Lenniss Red Denim Levi, CD Morris Carson for Ch.

Box 1259 Truro, Nova Scotia Canada B2N 5N2 902 895-74272 POMERANIAN REVIEWDulcys Dilemmaby Margaret McKeeWARNINGTHESE PREMISES PATROLLED BY ATTACK TRAINED POMERANIANThis appealing picture of a Pom appeared in the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Sunday, October 23, 1983. The editors chose to use it instead of the formal High in Trial picture. The Pom is Dulcy or officially, Dulcy or Doesnt Show of Nan-K, owned by Fran Warren. She got a leg on her CD that day and her third leg the following day. The completion of her title was a real triumph for Dulcy, her owner and her vet.From puppyhood, Dulcy had been plagued by episodes of bloody diarrhea and vomiting. She was eight months old when they began. Once parvo was ruled out, Fran and her vet began searching for a cause. Fram kept a diary. At first it appeared that flea powder was the villain, so we diligently began removing all sources of insecticides in her life. Over many months, numerous causes for her episodes were considered and then discarded. Two significant facts remained. 1. She usually recoveredquickly in 24 hours shed be her old bouncing self again. 2. She never got sick at my house. While I was handling or boarding her, she stayed with me for periods from 3 to 10 days. She was never sick at my house, but frequently had diarrhea after returning home. Differences in water supply Dulcy was put on distilled water. Allergy to detergents Dulcys bedding was washed in Ivory Snow. Plant poisoning Fran removed the grass and ivy in her small back yard and replaced it with gravel. Dulcys diet was adjusted several times, including putting her on ID. Blood tests and urinalysis gave no clue. Fran and I spent many hours on the phone, trying to figure out what was wrong. Stress was often mentioned. The episodes continued.Last winter I kept Dulcy for 10 days while Fran flew to the west coast for a specialty. For fun, I decided to see how much Dulcy remembered from her basic obedience class. I was delighted with her response. Here was potential. So when Fran returned I told her shed have to promise me that someone was going to put a CD on Dulcy the following spring, or I wouldnt give her the dog back. Since Fran doesnt enjoy going in the ring, it was agreed that I would handle Dulcy. However, training was kept to a minimum because of Dulcys health. I couldnt take her to classes at my obedience club because Fran felt the insecticides used to fog the building might be dangerous for her.In spring, we took her to two matches. I was uncomfortable as I felt Dulcy wasnt really ready for competition. She busted one match when frightened during the stays by a flapping tape. At the other match she went Highest Scoring Dog in Match. We were encouraged when she didnt seem stressed by these outings, so we entered herPOMERANIAN REVIEWin one trial in April. She qualified. We entered her in 2 more trials the end of May. But during the last of April and the first of May the episodes became more and more frequent 2 or 3 a week. Fran was frantic. The vet x-rayed Dulcys GI tract, but saw nothing. He said there was nothing left to do but a biopsy. Fran was reluctant to do that. The vet decided again it might be stress and decided Dulcy shouldnt be shown. We kissed two entry fees goodbye and kept Dulcy home.Finally in early June, the vet send Dulcys x-rays to a radiologist, we detected a small lesion on the lower intestine. It was not a tumor and apparently not cancerous. The vet prescribed prednisolone every other day for inflammation. As a shot in the dark the vet later admitted to me I was desperate, he also prescribed Tagamet, used to treat ulcers in humans.It worked The episodes promptly began to decrease in severity and frequency. Gradually we challenged the efficacy of the treatment by returning Dulcy to a regular diet, then tap water. The prednisolone was stopped in August.Holding our breath, we took Dulcy to a match in September, although she had had no training since April. She busted, but more importantly she had no episode of diarrhea. Encouraged, we entered her in 2 trials in October. I couldnt get Fran to enter her in more than 2 trials. She only needs two legs. And Dulcy got those two legs in nice style. Moreover, it was a healthy Dulcy that did it.We dont know what caused the lesion. Were still not sure that aggravates it, although Fran will continue to avoid insecticides and other strong chemicals. Dulcy has been totally free of any digestive upsets since August 3, 1983. She continues to get Tagamet twice a day. She was four years old this November. It took over 3 years, but a loving and persistent owner and a cooperative, conscientious vet found the solution.Sandtowns PomeranianscongratulatesSally Baugniets Pomirish Sandtowns Raisin for her Best Opposite Sex in Sweepstakes and 1st in 6-9 Puppy and Reserve Winners Bitch to a 5 pt. major at her first showK.C. of Freedom Cty MN, WB,BOW Minn River Valley K.C., WB, BOW Stone City K.C., WBLois and Bill Abjornson P.O.

I only know a few of ese writers, but I feel very close to all of em. I am proud to be in their company, le readers may not always agree with tat is written but thats O.K. A little ntroversy often results in a discussion of oblems which are then better understood id perhaps solved.A comment in Yips and Yaps implied at a potential member of The American Dmeranian Club changed her mind cause of so called bickering at the mual meeting. How do you differentiate tween an open discussion of opposing unions, and this alleged bickering I lieve that problems should be aired at iib meetings and not just grumbled about small groups. It is very easy to stand on e sidelines and criticize the workers, lose who truly love the Pomeranian iould support the only club we have by ining and working to correct any oblems that exist. You may find fault ith my words and actions. I have been lilty of errors and omissions, and even a loughtless word or action, but I dont aim to be perfect just human. I would ither be criticized for doing something youdont agree with than to be criticized for doing nothing.The American Pomeranian Clubs members have been working for years to inform, educate and entertain Pom lovers all over the country. The local clubs also work for you to provide point shows, matches, educational material and companionship. Many other activities are provided by Pom Clubs not the least of which is the sharing of our love for this breed and the striving for its betterment. There are discussions about grooming, showing, breeding, and club policy which help everyone to grow in knowledge and to understand each other better.Clubs also work to improve conditions for all dogs. The Puget Sound Pomeranian Club has produced a bumper sticker warning of the dangers of leaving a dog in a closed car. They are being sold at local shows and are available by mail. See the club add. Wanda Bittner, who inspired this valuable project, has had some business problems which made it necessary for her to return the chairmanship of this committee to the club.

Wouldnt I love to go along A newcomer to Poms and writing for the view is Dianne Clark-Bryant who did an mirable job of writing up the Columbia m Clubs Summer Specialty in the last ue. As the artist who donated the very ely paintings of Poms which were warded as trophies, she did not do them stice in her description. They are some of e best likenesses I have seen. The painting Ch. Bi-Mar Sundance Kid which hangs er the mantlepiece at the home of Byrl d Mary Rosenbaum is so real I expect m to bark at me when I see it. Dianne has emarkable talent and the Columbia Pom ub is fortunate to have her among its embers.

Scherzo of Point Loma. His breeder luline Hughes should be proud also. I lieve this is the third Pomeranian of her eeding which Dr. Wilson has finished, r. Wilson is another worker. He is active the Yakima Kennel Club and is a charter ember of the Puget Sound Pom Club, pporting it faithfully since its beginning. Julie Moreno of San Francisco was up re in August to judge the National odle Specialty. While she was here, veral members of the Puget Sound Club tertained her at dinner. As usual the scussion was about Poms, with a few ghlights from the Poodle show. Julie lyed on a few days as my guest. We sited several local Pom breeders as I was ippy to show off our North West Poms, re quality at one kennel in particular washigh. It was a pleasure to see not just one or two nice dogs but a whole family of dogs I would be proud to own. The same thing was true of the other places we visited but as they were smaller, there were fewer dogs to see. Julie and I talked far into the night, comparing our views about breeding programs and the things which we both agreed upon were most important. I was happy to read the same sentiments in the last Review. The brood bitch is very important. She should have the same high qualities as the stud. She should free whelp. Occasionally special circumstances might require a section, but ideally a bitch who exhibits the conformation outlined in our standard, and who delivers her babies with litter or not help from the breeder is a jewel beyond price. Our visit came to a close but its memory will always be treasured.Now it is time to get ready for the Columbia Pom Clubs Winter Specialty, which we rarely miss. It is our favorite show. We go down to Portland the night before and get up early to get our dogs benched before 10 a.m. Then we sit around and renew friendships with the others who share our wonderful hobby. So until next time, see you at ringside.AMERICAN POMERANIAN CLUB, Inc.This club is devoted to encouraging the owning, breeding and exhibiting of the Pomeranian dog and the protection and advancement of the breed.We are currently offering membership to all who are interested in these principles and aims.If you are interested in joining the Club, please contact the Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Wanda Roach, 612 Woodrow Ave., Modesto, CA 95350.

Mishicot, WI54228THE POMERANIAN STANDARD The last paragraph of my article in the ist issue should have read as followsAt this point, Poms are being penalized r a snow nose. Correct me if I am wrong, ut I believe we have the only breed andard that does so Editor Oops. Typo line. Sorry This is a gross disadvantage r northern Pomeranians.Teeth The Teeth meet in a scissors bite, l which part of the inner surface of the pper teeth meets and engages part of the uter surface of the lower teeth. One tooth ut of line does not mean an undershot or vershot mouth. An undershot mouth is a lajor fault.Some judges are stickles on teeth. In me of the working breeds, all of the teeth luch be there and they must have a correct ite. Terrier breeds also must have a proper ite to be successful hunters.We all know that many Poms survive just s well toothless as with full dentition, ome Poms, just as some people, lose their eth at an early age. Others die of old age ith every tooth or most teeth intact.I cant see why anyone would not show a om just because of a missing tooth or two. .n obviously missing front tooth that aves an unsightly space, may be hard to jme judges to forgive, but others have een heard to say that Toys dont need eth.Our Poms retain baby teeth more often tat not and have to have them removed, nee in a while, if the mouth is too small Dr all the teeth, a permanent one is amoved. Some Poms never have all oftheir permanent teeth come in.Our standard calls an undershot mouth a major fault. A reverse scissors bite is slightly undershot, but nevertheless classified at a major fault. An overshot mouth is not mentioned as a major fault, nor is a level bite. It is assumed that both would be considered a minor fault.Poms definitely have teeth problems, but the problems can be minimized if the tartar is cleaned from them before it causes rotting. If dental disease sets in, infection can spread throughout the body and eventually cause the death of your Pom. It is very important to keep their teeth clean.And now to give fair warning some people have lost their Pom when it was anesthetized for teeth cleaning. Make sure you have a good veterinarian who is used to working with 3-7 lb. dogs. Dont be afraid to tell the vet your dogs weight All that coat makes our Poms look heavier than they really are.Eyes Bright, dark in color, and medium in size, almond shaped and not set too wide apart nor too close together.The wording leaves a lot to question in this paragraph. What is too wide or too close or medium in size Compared to what Almondshaped is self- explanatory. Dont confuse bright with a round hyper-looking eye. Many of our Poms in the ring do not have the correct almond-shaped eye. A round eye is not a correct eye according to the standard.Ears Small, carried erect and mounted high on the head, and placed not too far apart.If the ears are mounted high on the head I dont think they can be too far apart. Wide set ears are quite prevalent in the breed. Notice how alert a Pom looks that has the correct ear set and carries them properly.We all strive to breed a Pom with small ears. One judge told me, If a Pom has very small ears it loses its fox-like expression. The more I think about it, thePOMERANIAN REVIEWLLL Dazzlin Gold MikeIm SMliNS inNSSSssW\xMike is pictured going Best of Breed over four lovely specials for a 4 pt. major.

I never thought of rrs giving expression, but they sure do Ears on a Pom with very heavy coat tend look smaller than a Pom without a heavy jat. Many judges will feel through the 3at to the base of the ear to feel how small r large they really are.It was recently brought to my attention lat some people are cutting the ear leather n their Poms to make big ears small. This, f course, is altering the Pom and an AKC isqualification. This is not to be doneA kick back on this took place at a show here a Pom with naturally small ears was lown. The owner was all but accused of rtting the ear leather, because the ear was small She was not even considered for le points because of this.

POMERANIAN REVIEW5REBELREPORTby Jane Johnston 3429 Oak View Dr. Lakeland, FL 33803For those who are interested in the xpected litter I spoke of in the last issue, ere is the report At 330 a.m. on August 6, we headed for the vet with Punkin. ifter examination, it was agreed we should roceed with a section. Really hated to put er through it at her age almost 7. Of ourse I anticipated that puppies would be ead and that she would no doubt die on le table. There were two fine, healthy uppies a male and female, who both ame into the world wanting to eat. Punkin ame through the surgery beautifully. Only ne hitch she would have no part of the uppies When we would take them on the ed to nurse, she would lie very calmly and t them nurse, but if they were held up to er face, she would just turn her head. The et said there was a new mother Love hot on the market which we might try in a ouple of days. He said he really did not now if it would work in a case like this, ut cited a case of a very vicious Dobe who ad killed all but 2 or 3 of her puppies, titer she was given the shot, she loved the ithers to death. So, Punkin was given the hot about 1000 a.m. on the 18th. That fternoon she would tentatively lick atthem a little bit. About 700 that night, after they nursed, I returned them to their box with a heating pad and put her back in her pen. She just went wild so I gave her the puppies and she immediately started licking them and arranging them for nursing. For a few minutes, I thought I might have to have the shot reversed. I put my hand in the box shortly afterward and she nearly bit me. By morning however she had settled down and has been one of the most devoted mothers we ever had. For about the first two weeks, I had to hand feed her while she sat in the box with one eye on the puppies and the other on the food. Now, whether she would have finally accepted them without the shot is of course, questionable. But, if anyone would like to know what was used, ask your vet about Progesterone. The puppies are approaching 3 months of age now and have been a true pleasure.Enough of what has been going on around here and Ill get to some of the show wins Ive heard about.Millamors Mark Medallion went Group 1 at least a couple time since completing his championship in Houston. Another Milla- mor Pom, Millamors Mood Music is getting a nice start picked up a point in Louisville in September and one each in Ft. Pierce and Jupiter Beach in November.Another lovely little Pom, Coys Top of the Mark is rapidly approaching his championship. Topper has gone Best of Breed several times over specials and has several group placements. He went Group 1 in Kennesaw, GA on October 29. This little Pom is owned by Mrs. Ashlyn Cannon of Charlotte, NC.The deadlines never change...They are February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15.Please make a note of them and plan your ads so that they will arrive on time.POMERANIAN REVIEWiK nlJoers Pomeraniansoffers for saleCH.

Box 1259 Truro, Nova Scotia Canada B2N 5N2As I sit and write this it is November and one is the warm weather and the majority if our Canadian shows. I know most Americans tend to think of Canada as up lorth but I noticed on T.V. that nowstorms plagued much of the U.S. last veek. All this as I watch my husband mow he lawn for the last timeI wonder if 1983 wont be considered a janner year for Poms in Canada as so nany continue to do outstanding things in he ring. I heard recently that Babe Jtranahans Am. Ch. L. R.s Rock Concert kv Stran come up to Canada for a veekend. He went home with three Groups ind a Best in ShowAlso heard that Sally Baugniet was up ilso unfortunately I wasnt there so I have 10 details except that the dog did pick up leveral points on the weekend, over Best in show specials.Millamors Rock Concert, co-owned by Eleanor Miller and myself, finished in two weekends with several Best Puppy in Group wins, a Best Puppy in Show as well as several Best of Breeds of Group and Best in Show winners.My husband John finished Topaze Digger Do for Jim Butler of Massachusetts recently. There have been so few black and ans shown in this country that he caused quite a stir among Canadian judges not familiar with the color.Of course we cant go without reporting how Canadian dogs are south of the border. Natalie Dunfee and Michele McDonald spent Labor Day weekend at 3 shows in Maine. Natalie won the Breed all 3days and placed in the Group at least 2 of those days with C.J., Can. Am. Ch. Hillsboros Golden Chip. Michele McDonald picked up a second major on Smidge, Can. Ch. Starchild at Hobbit. That win brings her to a total of 10 U.S. points. Its interesting to note that this gal had 4 month old puppies at home at the timeI promised information on registering your dog in Canada for any of you who have been up to shows, or who are planning to come up in the future.First, your dog does not have to be registered in Canada to be shown here, nor is there a 30 day limit on showing an unregistered dog. You just wont receive your championship certificate until you do.1. Apply to the Canadian Kennel Club for the form to register an American born dog in Canada, owned by a U.S. resident.2. With the completed form send the original not a photo copy AKC registration.3. An AKC certified pedigree, again the original not a photo copy, unless both parents have CKC registration numbers.4. Two good noseprints. The easiest thing to do is have them taken by someone in the CKC booth at a show before you go back to the U.S. Otherwise also ask for the noseprint kit available from the CKC. 2.00.5. Send 15.00 in Canadian funds money order is best.Until next time, good luck at the showsPOMERANIAN REVIEW 5Palway Pomsproudly presentsmSLTr,-i r.. . T... "1Ch. Maranthas Lil CalebCh.

There was plenty of outdoor parking in the sun, and I pulled up beside a rather delapidated sedan. In it was a Chihuahua-type mongrel who was desperately clawing at a back window. All windows had been rolled down an inch or so, but the puppy was panting, mouth wet with saliva, and it was evident that he would collapse in minutes. Luckily, the doors were unlocked and the little fellow partially passed out in my hands. Without further thought, I hurried with him into the air-conditioned building to find a rest room where he could be saturated with cold water. This perked him up considerably and advanced him into a stage of trembling. But he licked my hads and as soon as he had passed the danger point, I decided to take him back to the car and wait until his owners arrived. Although fairly wet, he seemed contented as we made our way outside. Nearing the parking space, I saw that his car was gone I nearly went into a panic. There was definitely no place for a small mongrel in my quality-populated kennel and my imagination took a dismal turn. WHAT TO DO No leash, no pen so I stood on the shaded sidewalk and held him hoping for some solution. Giving him away was considered as people passed by, but no one looked inviting. The little dog was content in my arms and seemed to know that he was safe. There was a wild hope that his folks would come back to look for him and then, as if my wish had materialized, here came the car cruising along slowly. The driver spotted me immediately and stopped toreceive a happy pet and a stern lecture. St expressed regrets and vowed that it woul not happen again.
