On p. 33 in the same article, it was the veterinary radiologist who discovered the lesion.

My apologies for these errors.POMERANIAN REVIEW 5atPAPRESIDENTSMESSAGEMarleneScott Halsey Rt. X, Box 261 Blue Ridge, VA 24064I am honored to be your President another year and I will try not to betray your confidence. Being President of the American Pomeranian Club is important to me. I wish there were a way I could contribute something of value to each member of the club. I am looking forward to this year and working with the officers and Board of Directors in carrying out the affairs of the club. Let us hear from you.Another Specialty is over. There were ninety-nine Poms with one hundred and thirty-five entries. Fred Basset, breed judge and Dudley Roach, sweepstakes judge are to be congratulated on drawing such a large entry. To the happy winners, another congratulations. For those who did not win, keep trying. With good Poms, you will finish them. I am sure all judges wish there could be more winners. Know your Poms. Be sure you are showing a good conformation dog. If you do not know if your Pom is showable, ask someone who does know. Printing this in the Review may not reach the breeder who is a novice because they may not subscribe. Therefore it is up to you to help the novice. In the last few months, I have received several letters asking how one is to know if they have a good Pom. I received a telephone call from a lady who has Poms and is trying to breed better ones. She has one she thinks is show quality and she has attended lots of shows lately to look at the Poms. She said she could not get anyone to give her an opinion or even look at her dog, and she was talking about people who were showing Poms. She has been reading the Review and other dogmagazines and has talked to some of the people who show and finish Poms. So far, no one has had the time for her. I realize that everyone does not like the same type of Poms, but any breeder who has finished Poms can at least identify outstanding fault and obvious qualities to a novice. As a member of APC this is one of our goals to further the breed. Pom breeders who have been in the ring for years finishing dogs dont win every time, so dont give up if you have a good dog. All judges do not like the same type and thats good. That way we can all win some time. After all, one show is only one judges opinion. Good luck in the ring.Personally I had a grand time in New York. I love people especially Pom people. It was interesting to meet the people who are new in the breed and of course it is always fun to visit with old friends of many years. Being seated by the ring during all of the judging gave me the opportunity to visit and watch the Poms. I think everyone should attend at least one Pom specialty, even if you do not show your Pom. You sure could enjoy the hospitality, food, conversation, food, fellowship, meeting other Pom people . . . and of course, the food. If you think Im trying to tell you that the food was great, youre right The hospitality room was out of this world and special thanks for a job well done go to Sam Zaneoff and Olga Baker. I recall the food at the Summer Specialty in Denver being very good and plentiful also. We must like to eat.I want to thank Pete Galindo and his committee. Pete was our show superintendent and show chairman. I dont know how he does both jobs but the show ran smoothly and was well put together.The Parent Club wishes to congratulate the editor of the Pom Review, Phyllis Ripley and her husband on the birth of their twins. Children bring so much love into our lives.Start planning now to attend the Summer Continued on p. 116 POMERANIAN REVIEWSECRETARYSREPORTWanda Roach 612 Woodrow Ave. Modesto, CA 95350The minutes for both the 1983 Board and the 1984 Board Meetings are as follows1983 Board Meeting MinutesThe meeting was called to order by President Marlene Scott Halsey at 300 p.m. on February 11 at the Lowes Summit Hotel, New York City, New York.

This was agreeable to the Board, but will have to be worked out between Phyllis and Dorothy.Wanda said that she has had a request to have a history of the breed written by Cheryl Bergerson and that she wished to use our emblem. The emblem cannot be used on other than official publications. Most members felt that the function of this book is already covered by the Pomeranian Review. Anyone who wishes can write a book.

She further explained that telephone conference calls are arranged only when required when the business cannot be handled by mail by the Board, emphasizing that conference calls are quite expensive and difficult to arrange.The APC Information Booklet was discussed and Secretary is to check to see if there is still an adequate supply of these. Sue Goddard suggested that, if they need to be reprinted any time soon, certain changes need to be made to update the brochure.'President appointed a committee of Olga Baker, Sue Goddard, and Molly Miller to audit the Treasurers books for the past year. Sue Goddard made a motion that an outside auditor perform this audit and do any necessary tax work for the club. This was at the request of Treasurer A1 Williamson. Motion was seconded by Mary Rosenbaum and carried. This then will preclude the need for the committee to audit books. Treasurer agreed to send his monthly Treasurers report directly to the Secretary, who will then include this in the monthly mailings.Motion was made by Sue Goddard, seconded by Olga Baker, and carried, that Fred Bassett continue as AKC Delegate for the Club.Peter Galindo was recommended to again serve as Show Chairman for the next show.

President thanked her for letting the Board know in advance of such a possibility.President reported that Sweepstakes judge for November 1984 APC Summer Specialty had to be selected at this meeting. She stated that Mr. Derek Rayne will do the Regular Classes.Board members discussed the possibility of using the previously compiled list of Sweepstakes choices, but it was decided that short time involved precluded using that list, and that it would be necessary that the Board make this decision immediately. Names submitted were Sam Zaneoff, Jean Schroll, Opal Mosher, Edna Girardot, Marlene Scott. Vote was taken First Choice Marlene Scott Halsey Second choice Sam Zaneoff.Marlene suggested that in the future the burden for selection of judges should not be on the Corresponding Secretary as a separate mailing, but should be for the membership as Officers and Board members are selected.

Both Dudley and I had a very nice trip.I would like to introduce to you the new Corresponding Secretary, Mary Rosenbaum. In addition to being a breeder, exhibitor and judge she is also a very nice person. I know that Mary will be a welcome member of the Board.One of the nicest things that the Corresponding Secretary gets to do during the year is to tabulate the Top Sire.

However, unencumbered, I was ible to ring-side judge, and enjoy what he wonderful breeders had produced. Edna Girardot had invited me to room with ner and her two adorable Poms, affording us a valuable visit. Edna remarked that she nad heard the old joke about an exhibitor sleeping with a judge, but this was an actual experience for her.With his quality breeding year contributing, Dudley Roach was a really great Sweepstakes Judge. From the 29 promising future champions, he chose Watts Little Kikkoman, bred and owned by Delores A. Watts, a dainty, luscious boy who should have many Best in Show wins ahead.

As I said at the Club anquet, one of the nicest parts of the day r me was being able to sleep in and not ave to get up at 530 a.m. to get the last linute details taken care of as Show hairman For taking care of that, I thank ete Galindo and his hard working show mmittee. They certainly did a wonderful ib.The overall quality at this years Specialty was quite mixed on the one hand there were many truly excellent exhibits on the other there were far too many simply mediocre dogs. That is a trend that none of us likes to see and perhaps it has to do with the tremendous popularity of our sport and the lack of knowledge on the part of some novice exhibitors. At a smaller show 1 would have been forced to withhold some placements, but there were plenty of very worthy dogs here to take home the ribbons. I did place the dogs in the breed classes in order from first to last as I judged their quality on the day. Those exhibitors who were towards the end of the line in the larger classes might be well advised to reconsider their investment in continuing to show their dogs, and consult a knowledgeable breeder for advice. I should also mention that I saw a disturbing number of undershot bites, which is a trend that needs attention.Now on to the positive aspects of the show The Best of Breed class this year was again truly a sight to behold. Nothing can match the thrill for a judge of being faced with a ring full of wonderful quality dogs, and this group provided a thrill I will never forget. The Best of Breed dog and the three Award of Merit dogs were all of uniformly excellent quality. As the judging progressed the competition narrowed to Ch. D-Nees Darin Duffie and Ch. Mi-Mar Sundance Kid. These are two really outstanding Pomeranians, and the decision was not an easy one as Im sure you could tell from ringside. On the day, Duffie took the edge with his movement, his animation and his ring presence. I loved both dogs, and congratulate their breederowners Nadine Hersil and Mary Rosenbaum and their handlers Jackie Liddle and Jean Schroll. They are truly the product of the breeders art and were beautifully presented. The Best of Opposite Sex bitch, Ch. Jabils Simply Scrumtious was also very pleasing. Her breederowners Jessie and BarbaraPOMERANIAN REVIEW 1Young had quite a day and have a lot to be proud of between this bitch, the Award of Merit dog, Ch. Jabils Simply Sinful, and their Best of Winners dog Daisys Little Bit of Jabil. The latter simply melted me with his exquisite head and expression, as well as his other attributes. The other Award of Merit dog, Ch. Coys Top of the Mark impressed me with his supurb breed type, but wasnt quite the equal that day to the two top contenders. My Winners Bitch came from the Bred by Exhibitor class, and Im sure made Mike Wolf very proud. Mike-Mars Jubilee Twist was really lovely, and already a strong contender at only eight months old.The following dogs were close contenders for the points in the classes, and of outstanding quality Bev-Nors New Creation R.W.D., Daisys Mini-Todd O Theldun, D-Nees Kinky Dolly of Sunny Oak, Silver Meadows Nancee R.W.B., Pomirish Sandtowns Raisin, and Scotia Best Yets Command Gretel. Im sure they will all finish easily, and that we will be seeing them in the future.My sincere thanks go to all of you for your entries and your efforts on behalf of the Breed. We are seeing many outstanding representatives of our breed in the ring today, and I believe you can be justifiably proud of that. Keep up the good workPUPPY SWEEPSTAKES JUDGES CRITIQUE by Dudley RoachIt was indeed a pleasure and honor for me to be invited to do the APC Sweepstakes. I truly enjoyed renewing acquaintances with old friends and meeting new ones. The show secretary Peter Galindo had done a good job of organizing the show trophy chairperson Nadine Hersil had provided lovely trophies and chief ring steward Wanda Roach kept me together. Most of all however, I thank the exhibitorsfor their kindness and graciousness towan me.I was pleased to note that there were ver few slippy stifles. That has been a seriou problem for such a long time. Breeder seem to have met that challenge and ar overcoming it. Fronts are also great improved. I saw just one undershot mouth so that was encouraging to me. There wer some tail-set problems, some plain head and some needing more coat. The mos extensive fault I observed was cowhocks - just enough in some cases to throw rea movement off. By and large though, it wa an entry of good quality.

He exhibits great intelligence in his expression, and is alert in character and leportment.HEAD Well-proportioned to the body, wedge-shaped but not domed in outline, with a fox- ike expression. There is a pronounced stop with a rather fine but not snipey muzzle, with no lip riness. The pigmentation around the eyes, lips, and on the nose must be black, except self- idored in brown and blue. A round, domey skull is a major fault. Light pigment on nose or eye ims is a major fault.TEETH The teeth meet in a scissors bite, in which part of the inner surface of the upper eeth meets and engages part of the outer surface of the lower teeth. One tooth out of line does lot mean an undershot or overshot mouth. An undershot mouth is a major fault.EYES Bright, dark in color, and medium in size, almond shaped and not set too wide apart lor too close together.EARS Small, carried erect and mounted high on the head, and placed not too far apart.NECK AND SHOULDERS The neck is rather short, its base set well back on the shoulders, 'he Pom is not straight-in-shoulder, but has sufficient lay-back of shoulders to carry the neck iroudly and high. Out at elbows or shoulders is a major fault.BODY The back must be short and topline level. The body is cobby, being well ribbed and ounded. The brisket is fairly deep and not too wide.LEGS The forelegs are straight and parallel, of medium length in proportion to a well lalanced frame. The hocks are perpendicular to the ground, parallel to each other from hock to leel, and turning neither in nor out. The Pomeranian stands well up on toes. Down in pasterns s a major fault. Cow hocks or lack of soundness in hindlegs or stifles is a major fault.POMERANIAN REVIEW 23TAIL The tail is characteristic of the breed. It turns over the back and is carried flat, set high. It is profusely covered with hair.COAT Double-coated a short, soft, thick undercoat, with longer, coarse glistening outercoat consisting of guard hairs which must be harsh to the touch in order to give the proper texture for the coat to form a frill of profuse, standing-off straight hair. The front legs are well feathered and the hindquarters are clad with long hair or feathering from the top of the rump to the hocks. A soft, flat, or open coat is a major fault.COLOR Acceptable colors to be judged on an equal basis any solid color, any solid color with lighter or darker shadings of the same color, any solid color with sable or black shadings, parti- color, sable, and black and tan. Black and tan is black with tan or rust, sharply defined, appearing above each eye and on muzzle, throat and forechest, on all legs and feet and below the tail. Parti-color is white with any other color distributed in even patches on the body and a white blaze on head. A white chest, foot, or leg on a whole-colored, dog fexcept white is a major fault.MOVEMENT The Pomeranian moves with a smooth, free, but not loose action. He does not elbow out in front nor move excessively wide nor cow-hocked behind. He is sound in action.SIZE The weight of a Pomeranian for exhibition is 3 to 7 pounds. The ideal size for show specimens is from 4 to 5 pounds.TRIMMING AND DEWCLAWS Trimming for neatness is permissible around the feet and up the back of the legs to the first joint trimming of unruly hairs on the edges of the ears and around the anus is also permitted. Dewclaws, if any, on the hind legs are-generally removed. Dewclaws on the front legs may be removed. Overtrimming beyond the location and amount described in the breed standard shrnld be heavily penalized.CLASSIFICATIONS The Open Classes at Specialty Shows may be divided by color as follows Open Red, Orange, Cream and Sable Open Black, Brown and Blue Open Any Other Allowed Color.POMERANIAN REVIEW\Ammran PampranianClub, Jnr.Code of Ethics1.

The puppy males, Watts ttle Kikkoman and Topaze Jackpot oby, were both very nice animals well it together and well presented. I preferred 'atts Little Kikkoman because I felt that that time he was a trifle shorter backed id had a little sweeter head than the other ale. The two bitches, Southland Fudge ouble Dip and Homesteads Secondhand Rose were very similar in type and loved well. I preferred the 6-9 bitch ecause she had a little nicer head and had lore presence in the ring.After narrowing the field down to a dog nd a bitch, another decision had to be lade.

It was very exciting fiat day, and fortunately for us we have a riend whose hobby is filming this type of vent, so we can always have it as an ducational meeting and settle back to eally see the Specialty.Our show was held in conjunction with the Golden Valley KC and just two days after Thanksgiving. The weather was lovely, crisp in the morning, but the sun came out later. With all the leaves turning for the winter it was especially pretty. All of the clubs cooks really brought forth their best efforts and as a result, our buffet was a huge success, not only with our own members and guests, but almost everyone else shared in our bounty.Our trophy Chairman was Marlene Presser and she selected brass as her theme, and the trophies displayed on our light blue table cover were most impressive. She certainly deserved the vote of thanks everyone gave her.Our Sweepstakes judge was Mr. Bobby Schultz and he did a fine job, not only in his handling of the puppies, but with the thorough inspection he gave them all.

Thanks for bringing Tom up for the weekend. They enjoyed the show and meeting with some of the breeders in the area.Our Treasurer Catherine Bartos has been vacationing in Arizona and enjoying the weather. She would like to thank Dora, the President of the Phoenix Pomeranian Club and Pat Forrest for driving her to the dog matches while she was there. Katherine enjoyed seeing the Poms down there and was delighted to meet with some breeders and see some of their lovely Poms. It is an education in itself to be able to get around and see what you generally only read about talking with other people and seeing what is being produced in other parts of the country is so important.The first show of the year was in Puyallup and the major went to our Canadian friends Leslie Rodgers and Donna Roadhouse who handled Luxtons Forever Mickey. This is his first major in the States. He is sired by a Golden Glow Pom. Best of Breed went to another lovely Pom, Georgia Heatwave and then on to a Group 4.

Darrell and lga Baker left in time for Olga to irticipate in the judges seminar, where idges will have the opportunity to hear hat we breeders feel they should be oking for as they judge our breed. We row Olga will do an excellent job with her esentation. George and Jean West avelling with four dogs, left a day or two irly as well so George can do some rsiness for his company. Tim and Sue oddard are leaving Saturday with high opes of having a great time and the chance i see their married daughter and m-in-law who live in Virginia . . . instead f a Pom. They are delivering them a -egnant Shih Tzu. Last to leave Houston, iroute to New York, are the Moureaus, ''ayne, Erika and daughter Jennifer. It is ue to Jennifers impressive Junior howmanship record that the rest of the imily is making the trip. She has the istinction of being named the Nationwide op Handler in the Toy Group. Word has that Jennifer has a new Doberman puppy lat may replace her Pom in J.S., but I am ire we will find her assisting her mother ith the Poms.Somehow my column indicated that veral meetings had been held in the home f Tim and Sue Goddard, which was notthe case, as each meeting is hosted by a different member. The latest meeting was held at the home of the Moureaus and we all had the opportunity to see their lovely new home and kennel facility. The February meeting will be held at the home of the Bakers.Our membership is in the middle of plans for our March specialty to be judged by our favorite lady in Poms, Mrs. Dorothy Bonner. We expect to have an excellent entry for Dorothy. Most of us will be making the trip to Dallas for their big Silver Anniversary show and trying to give Olga Baker a super sweepstakes entry. This just one week after our specialty.New champions for our club are Ch. LLL Dazzlin Gold Mike for Tim and Sue Goddard, and Ch. Texicans Wee Will of Meegee for owner Polly Ferguson and breeder Erika Moureau. The Bakers have a precocious little girl called Chice that they are starting in New York and Erika Moureau has a little boy from breeder-club member, Cindy Horton called of all things Armadillo. The Goddards are starting a little boy named Puff ... so we will be battling it out in the puppy classes.Bob and Joan Riley brought us news at our last meeting that they are forming a new Pom club in the San Antonio area and will host their first match after a February show, hoping for a good turn out crowd from the point show. Our club will be giving these Pom people as much help and support as we can.Roxie and Jim Campbell have gone into a new business which has kept them very busy and out of the show ring recently, but Roxie and Carolyn Crockett have a darling little female that they have pointed and who will be back in competition soon after allowing time for a year old shed. Tony and Connie Tellez have several nice puppies that they are growing up for summer shows and Tony is hard at work with his position as show chairman for both upcoming shows.

We will innounce the judge for breed and sweeps in he next issue.POMERANIAN CLUB OF GREATER BALTIMORE by Mary VickersPrior to sending our packet of nformation to the AKC to become a club f record, we have decided to have another fun match. Club members are circling vlarch 11 on their calendars and passing the vord. Besides the regular classes, junior howmanship, obedience and a Parade of Champions will be offered. The judge is as 'et unconfirmed, but will be announced in ur newsletter April is a heavy show month 'or us with the Cherry Blossom circuit and hows every weekend, so the match should e a large one.Thinking of the Cherry Blossom, our dub has donated trophies for use at the Greater Fredricksburg KC show on April .7, both for breed and obedience. The how is in memory of Mrs. Hazel Vilkinson who was instrumental in the 'ormation of the Fredricksburg Club and in avid Pom fancier. In her honor, rosettes vill be given for the winners, BOS and BOB hrough the generosity of the club.The Snyders are very happy and proud f the fact that both finished their Poms, vlary Ellen finished Kims Crispy Critter md in November on his birthday, Kenneth 'inished Bev-Nors Petite Edney. Belated tudos to both and much success on the next 3om, which already has two majors.Several other Poms are nearing their rhampionships and with all the coming hows, the July issue might be a long mining column of congratulations. See ou during the Cherry BlossomOREGON WEBFOOT REPORT by Diane Clark BryantThe rumor that Poms bred and raised in Oregon have webbed feet is not true However, there may be something to the rumor that our Poms learn to swim at an early age.One of our first tiny Pom puppies purchased from Bea and Wayne Georges Westmost Kennels, romped off across a field on his first outing and nose dived into a deep rain filled tire rut. That was our first lesson in appreciating the tiny size of this fearless little breed. He sank right up to his little nose and began paddling like crazy while his mistress made a complete idiot of herself dashing to the rescue, only to end up wetter and muddier than the pup. Our neighbors will never forget that one, nor will they ever again picture me as the sophisticated lady Id prefer to be.Most of you who have attended shows in Oregon are aware that we do have occasional rain showers, sometimes lasting up to three or four weeks. However, during our summer outdoor specialty we usually manage a few days of sunny warm weather not so hot that the Poms and their handlers wilt, but comfortable showing weather.Last July we had a wonderful Pom turnout. The October issue lists all the happy winners. The puppy bitch that did so well there with her first shows, Bry-Turs Music Box Dancer, has fulfilled expectations by going on to earn eight points toward her championship before she was nine months old. Music, owned and shown by Nancy Turner, is recovering from her one year old coat drop and will resume her show career in March with the Corvallis and Salem shows. Music has taken her class every time she has been shown, took a four point major last September at the Southern Oregon Kennel Club show in Roseburg, went Best Opposite Sex over the special in August in Enumclaw and has gone reserve 3 Continued on p. 52.POMERANIAN REVIEW tModel KennelspresentsSModel s Free WayHandled to his championship by Maynard Wood.cFree Way, shown on his first time out, to a four point major under Mrs. C.

We will be hearing and seeing more of this fine Pom who was bred by Florence Ryals of Tacoma, Washington. Riggins Dusty Trademark, bred by Deloris Riggin, has been showing well also. Deloris is back in the show ring again after limited showing due to an auto accident a while back. Mark has been consistently winning and will soon add to the long list of champions bred by this dedicated Oregon breeder. Deloris Starjoy Luus who she calls Kris, finished in four shows, all majors. Kris has sired a very nice black puppy who is showing real potential. He is extremely short coupled and has the head Deloris breeds so well. Riggins Startessa, a lovely bitch sired by Kris and out of a black bitch bred to this young black male should produce a good black foundation.Another fine Pom Deloris has been showing is Riggins Preshus Disco Dancer. Disco is the last son sired by Ch. Krismay Preshus, and has been picking up points consistently. Disco is absolutely the shortest coupled dog I have ever seen and in addition carries the good bone and excellent head of his father. This fine stud has much to offer the breed and will be bred to a few select bitches this year.Mark is an example of the years of careful breeding and the type of Poms Deloris Riggin is known for. Deloris has bred several of her nice bitches this past year and currently has some very nice puppies for sale.My one year old black male, Westmost Bouncys Bitablack who we call Bear, has chalked up a few wins and points this year also. Those of you breeding for good blacks and showing them know what an uphill climb this is. My dream is to just one time step into the ring and find a full entry of blacks only. Bears last thrilling win was at the October show in Richland, Washington under a fine judge, Mary Rosenbaum.Bear sired a nice litter for Nancy Turnerin November producing four nice Pom babies. The litter has been sold except for a nice cream bitch, Bry-Tur TizaToi Poppett.I am keeping this little gal to breed back to her father, hoping for some nice black puppies.A second litter sired by Bear out of a lovely bitch bred by Florence Ryals, Ryals Spoonfull of Love, a Ch. Skylark Cinnamon Banner daughter, whelped prematurely and were unfortunately all lost. This was especially sad for us as the three puppies were black which is our first love. However, we have two more litters due this spring and one just has to keep on trying.Another Oregonian who is very active in Poms is Linda Gallacher who finished her boy, Bi Mars Sunswept Anticipation, both in conformation and obedience. Linda is a strong promoter of toys in obedience and her record certainly speaks for itself. Linda is currently showing a bitch, Bi Mars Sunswept Sensation and took the points at the Greater Clark County show and at the Portland Dog Fanciers show in Portland in January. Another Oregonian we will continue to see and hear about.Our condolances to Maryann Brown whose Pom Bandit became seriously ill right after the July summer specialty. Maryann contacted many of the breeders as he became ill right after the show. It is especially nice when problems are shared and an open line of communication is maintained, as its a help to everyone concerned. Later, Maryann discovered that Bandit suffered from a liver disease and not a contagious disease.Ive noted a new interest in parti color Poms here in Oregon. Weve received several phone inquiries about partis and it seems that Oregon breeders are working toward good quality whites and partis. Striving for good conformation and good color is an exciting challenge and a lot of hard work.I am interested in parti lines and breedingPOMERANIAN REVIEW 5POMPUFpresents two new championsJGK.C 3TER1Ch.

Let me hear from you.THE DOG MUSEUM OF AMERICA presents SHOW DOGOn the eve of the premiere dog show in America, the 108th Westminster Kennel Club Show at Madison Square Garden, The Dog Museum of America will present SHOW DOG, a visual history of the competition, energy and glory surrounding the showing of mans best friend. The exhibition will open February 13th and be on view through May 18, 1984.The exhibition will focus on the history and development of showing dogs in England and the United States, but SHOW DOG is more than a roster of the great winners and prizes of the past and more than the landmark shows that define the history of the sport. It is the story of the dedication, commitment, demand, glory and disappointment experienced by the thousands of individuals who have worked to improve their dogs to display their best, and of the excitement and drama witnessed by the many more thousands of spectators.Paintings, trophies, bronzes and literature will profusely illustrate the colorfulSixteenth y\miiAL3ociswwtaics Hall9world of SHOW DOG An early work by R. Marshall, 1855, lent by the Kennel Club of England is the earliest known depiction of the sport, and George Earls Field Trial Meet of 1882 illustrates a typical event of the period. Photographs and period accounts give timely insights into the exhibitors and their exhibitees. Mrs. Roberta Vesley, Library Director of the American Kennel Club Library, has curated the exhibit and written an accompanying illustrated catalogue.The showing of dogs began in England in 1859 with the Newcastle Show and was introduced to the United States after the Civil War, championed by the wealthy families of the time Belmont, Morgan, Whitney, Gould and Rockefeller, to name a few. The first New York Benched Show of Dogs Westminster Kennel Club was held in 1877 and has since been hald annually.The Museum, located on the concourse level of the landmark New York Life Insurance Building 51 Madison Avenue is open from 1000 to 400, Monday through Friday. A free shuttle bus service between Madison Square Garden and The Dog Museum of America will be provided by the Museum during the Westminster Kennel Club Show, February 13th and 14th, 1984.POMERANIAN REVIEWKennelsis proud to presentStoiylands Sunfox Special vit9aASunFox Lennis Image of Olde x Sun Fox Kracklin Gold Orange MaleSpecial thanks to Claudia M.

There are many such Poms in this country of ours, and it should always be remembered that a study of the pedigree is of highest value in picking the most suitable stud for each particular female. It is foolish to select a stud dog ONLY on the basis of his show wins or because he is conveniently located next door.Cost of entering your dog in the Stud Dog Register is 10.00 for each entry, plus the cost of the halftone if you do not have one the proper size. Dogs may be entered without photos, if none is available, and a description of the dog may be inserted in the space intended for the photograph. Halftones used must be no larger than 2 square, and new ones from your glossy print will cost 7.00. Description beneath cut is limited to twenty words.Because of the work involved in looking up old halftones, typing pedigrees, etc., we ask your cooperation in sending your copy as early as possible. Please mention the back issue in which your halftone was used, if we have one on file. Glossies will be returned.ABSOLUTE DEADLINE May 15 thm9rCh. Jolly Wee Fancy Dan of Peppi Top Sire 5 ChampionsCh.

McKee 7660 Idlewyld Road Richmond, VA 23225Ever heard the remark, That dog had to lave a handler to finish There have been logs of course, who could never have inished except for the fact that they were hown by very well-known handlers. But hey are, I hope, in the minority, and the rack is really unfair to a dog just because les in the hands of a professional handler. There are a number of good reasons for hoosing to use the services of a handler.Some people are just too nervous and mcomfortable in the ring to show their wn dogs. They enjoy sitting outside the ing and watching their beautiful beasties Derform. You might have a physical disability that hinders you from moving gracefully around the ring or bending over to pick up your Pom. Maybe youre just ncurably klutzy, stepping on your dog or dropping your brush on his head with Incredible regularity. Perhaps youre tied down at home with kids, puppies, or job and cant do the travelling necessary to finish a championship. As a novice, you may lack the self-confidence. Hiring a handler is an excellent way to learn. Watch the handler groom and show the dog, then ask questions. Why did you do that While the handling fee doesnt really include instructions, the handlers Ive dealt with have been very patient and generous in answering my questions.How do you find a handler That can be a little tricky. Ask your friends what they think of handlers theyve used. OBSERVE. Go to ringside and watch. Which handlers win consistently Are they gentle andpatient with the dogs Do they smile at the dogs Do the dogs seem to like the handler More importantly, how do they treat the dogs outside the ring Does the dog get hugged whether it wins or loses Is the handler careful with the dog At a show on the Florida circuit, my eye was caught at ringside by a Pom of a rare color. He was lovely I kept glancing at him. I was surprised to hear him growling and snapping and, after a moments observation, decided the handler was playing with him, perhaps to jazz him up. Just then a woman with a Greyhound approached under the very crowded tent. She paused, tightened her hold on his lead, then tried to go past. Three times the handler permitted the Pom to dash out to the end of the lead to snap at the Greyhound. Several of us who witnessed this were appalled. The handler was not just rude he was irresponsible in endangering the Pom as well as the hound and the nearby people. This is the kind of thing you need to find out before you turn your dog over to a handler.Go back to the handlers set-up. How many dogs is he carrying Are they kept comfortable regardless of weather Do they have sufficient exercise time and plenty of fresh water Are the exercise pens kept picked up Watch the handlers assistants they will be doing a lot of the care and grooming. Do they seem to enjoy being around the dogs Do they pat them and talk nicely to themHaving narrowed your choices down to two or three, talk to each handler. Find out exactly what his fees are. In addition to handling fees, there may be board on the road, board between shows, grooming fees, and road expenses gas. Must you pay in full each month or can terms be arranged Will the handler want to decide which shows to enter Will he make the entries If he goes on a circuit, must your dog be entered every day, regardless of who is judging What happens to your dog if the Continued on p. 72.POMERANIAN REVIEW fCh.

Make your wishes lear to the handler. Do you want lim to keep the dog until it is finished, egardless of how long it takes or how nuch money it costs If not, what are your imits Is the handler to keep the dog for a pecific number of shows Do you want to eep the dog with you and bring him to the landler the morning of the show Do you lan to travel to the shows and sit at ingside The handler needs to know if wee beastie is going to be distracted by Kamas presence at ringside. If you object o or expect excessive trimming, nose- hacking, or drugging of dogs, make it clear o the handler. Now is the time to discuss ixpectations fully with the handler, before iny committment is made before mis- rnderstandings and unhappiness occur. Dont hesitate to ask the handler what he ixpects of you.If you are turning the dog over to a landler and staying home, mark your crate vith your name, address, and phone lumber. I always tell the handler to call me ollect for majors or group placements, vlaybe youll want to hear from the handler nore often. Have the handler give you his tinerary.If you are travelling to the shows, emember that the handler is a busy person, rles working. Dont expect to be mtertained in his motorhome, or to engage lim in lengthy conversations.While its okay to send a toy with the log, it isnt necessary and the toy could asily get lost. The handler will provide iverything leads, food, etc. that is reeded. Most handlers prefer to feed all heir dogs the same thing, so dont request special diets or send food along.Naturally, the dog you turn over to the landler should be healthy with all shots up o date, clean, free of mats, and reasonablywell-trained.Ive gotten several premium lists which announce that there will be no observer judges at these shows, like that was something to brag about. To whom is this statement supposed to make the show more attractive Possibly professional handlers who dont want to spend a few extra seconds in the ring, but not to me Im for anything that will improve the quality of judging. The observer program is no cure-all isnt meant to be, but it can help.Spring is here and summers not far behind. With summer comes two big problems for dogs heat prostration and fleas. It takes very little heat and time for a dog to be in danger. The usual situation is a dog left in a comfortable car for just a few minutes. But the air conditioning is shut off when the car is parked, the sun shifts its position, the car absorbs radiation and heats up like a greenhouse. We humans have a superb cooling system we can sweat over our entire skin surfact and lose heat by evaporation. Dogs can only lose heat by panting and sweating through the pads of their feet, a much less efficient system. At temperatures we might find comfortable, the dog may be distressed. Make it a rule to never, ever leave a dog in a car. If you must go to matches and shows in the summer, carry along wire crates or an exercise pen, a space blanket with the reflecting side, available in sporting goods stores, a big cooler filled with ice, a portable battery-powered fan, a spray bottle of plain water, an ice pack or plastic bags. Above all, be vigilantFleas seem to get worse with each succeeding season. They have become more resistent to our efforts to battle them. For years Ive used Sevin flea powder it was both convenient and effective. But last summer, the fleas just thumbed their noses at it. Lets fact it. When the big bomb goes off and mankind is gone, the cockroaches and fleas will still be here. The best we can do is try to keep them at bay.

Mishicot, WI 54228THE POMERANIAN STANDARD Part IIITo summarize My first two articles on he Pomeranian Standard dealt with the 'ive items of the standard, appearance, read, teeth, eyes, and ears. Anyone nterested in the above mentioned articles Mil find them in the July and October 1983 ssues of the Pomeranian Review.Neck and Shoulders The neck is rather short, its base set well back on the shoulders. The Pom is not 'straight-inshoulder, but has sufficient lay-back of shoulders to carry the neck proudly and high. Out at elbows or shoulders is a major fault.This and the following part of the standard indicates to me that a Pom is not meant to be just a lap dog to be carried from place to place. It must move. I love to watch my Poms run and chase each other around the yard. Exercise and play is part of every dogs life. How pathetic to see a Pom only able to hobbleIf it is to carry the neck proudly and high, the head must also be carried the same way. With sufficient shoulder lay-back to accomplish this, our Poms would also need equal rear angulation not mentioned in the standard and legs described later in the standard in order to achieve the smooth, free action called for.A Pom that has a very short neck as well as a lack of sufficient shoulder lay-back,could have difficulty carrying its head proudly and high. There is a shortage of Poms in the ring today with their head carried in this manner.Body The back must be short and topline level. The body is cobby, being well ribbed and rounded. The brisket is fairly deep and not too wide.Legs The forelegs are straight and parallel, of medium length in proportion to a well balanced frame. The hocks are perpendicular to the ground, parallel to each other from hock to heel, and turning neither in nor out. The Pomeranian stands well up on toes. Down in pasterns is a major fault. Cow hocks or lack of soundness in hindlegs or stifles is a major fault.One may ask, How short is short Compared to What How wide is not too wide. What is fairly deep for the brisketMany breed standards give a comparison of height to length to indicate those proportions. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi standard says, The distance from the withers to base of tail should be approximately 40 greater than the distance from the withers to the ground. In addition, weight and height variations are also given. This is, of course, describing a dog moderately long and low.The Chihuahua standard states, back slightly longer than height.Maltese standard says, Compact, the height from withers to the ground equaling the length from withers to the root of the tail.The Miniature Pinscher standard says, From side depth of brisket, the base line of which is level with the points of the elbows.If a Pom is as high from withers to floor as it is long from withers to root of tail, you would have a cobby dog. As the proportions described above, a Pom eight inches long and seven inches high, would not be as cobby as a Pom nine inches longPOMERANIAN REVIEWm toxBrandiCassiKit .Vt-Special RemiWed like you to see some of the puppies produced by our two boys, SPI and REV.They say, A picture is worth a thousand wordsOur special thanks to Lennis Davis for sharing her bloodline with us.

Wishing success to all at Spring and Summer showsClaudia M. Lis and Edward J. Braczyk 12 Cliffside Rd.Lowell, MA01852 617 454-16252 POMERANIAN REVIEWnd nine inches high. In other words, you ont judge a dog on how short its back is, ut on the proportion of height to length as escribed above. Even though the dog igher on leg has a longer back, the roportions are more desirable according o the standard because it would be more obby. It is possible to have a Pom short on g, less cobby than one high on leg. I hope e breeders do not create a Pom short on g and so cobby that we have to artificially iseminate all of our Poms in order to onceive. I am afraid we will lose a good roving Pom is we breed short, dumpy nes. We dont want a Peke look or Peke novement on our Poms.The paragraph on legs is self-explana- ory. The Pom has a cat paw. Keeping toe tails short will help keep a good foot. Long oe nails will lead to splayed feet and surely ill prevent the Pom from standing well up in toes.Poms new to the show ring or lacking onfidence in strange places may seem to be ow-hocked. When confidence is gained, he Pom will not crouch, but stand well up .nd the cow-hocks may disappear. If they lont he really is cow-hocked.If there is a breeder that claims to never lave had a stifle patella problem, I would ery seriously question it. Many breeders lo not even know how to detect it until the log is limping. Seminars and articles are leeded on the subject. Medial Patella mxation is graded I, II, III, IV with urgery recommended for all except Grade . It is one of our haunting genetic iroblems. Of course, a limping dog will be xcused from the ring. Lack of sound lindlegs or stifles is listed as a major fault, fhat is only the beginning. Now, someone Educate us Over and over againMy final article on the Pomeranian Standard will include actual Pom photos to llustrate various things that have been vritten in my articles. Any breeder willing o send pictures of Poms to illustrate both ood and bad things in a Pom, pleasecontact me. The names of Poms and breeders of these Poms will not be mentioned, but permission to use them, as I see fit, must be given. My intent is not to promote or demote anyone. My intent is to objectively show examples of both good and bad points in the breed, as I interpret them according to the standard.Helpful Hints, cont. from p. 66.I had to declare all-out war on them. First, I bombed the house. I used a regular insecticide bomb and a flea bomb in two areas of the house a total of four cans. Look for a flea bomb that kills eggs. Then I dipped the dogs. I used a dip that contains mercaptomethyl phthalemide and dimethyl phosphorodithioate Zodiac Pro Dip II or Vet Kem Paramite. First, I put a mild ointment in the dogs eyes bathed in the house, then carried the wet dog outside to dip him. The fumes are a bit strong. I stood the dog in a plastic dish pan and poured the dip over him with a glass measuring cup. The dip is left on the coat. While the dogs were in the house in cages to dry, I sprayed the entire back yard with malathion. Then I put all my clothes in the washer and took a shower. A week later, I dipped again. Two weeks later, I repeated the entire bomb, dip, spray procedure. After that, dipping at 2 week intervals kept things under control. I was delighted to discover that the dipping did not soften the coat at all.I decided to put off the discussion, partly because some of the above seemed more urgent, partly because the January Review was late in coming and to give you more time to write.

Snohomish, WA 98290As we were gathering our things together to head south for the Columbia Pomeranian Clubs Winter Specialty, a phone call let us know that company was coming. Tom and Jessie Stephens were bringing Carolyn and Julie Edmiston taking a short-cut from Napa, CA to visit on their way to Portland. We had a delightful time sharing stories of Poms and Pom people. Id like to share one with you.Jim Moran was judging at a show in California. A young exhibitor, obviously new at showing came into the ring with his entry on the end of a heavy leather lead and collar. Judge Moran took the time to show the inexperienced handler the correct way to present his dog. A third place was fairly awarded. After the judging was completed, Judge Moran gave the boy another encouraging word and gave him the money to invest in a proper show lead. What a fine way to help a newcomer to the show ring Jim Moran is presently Vice-President of the Portland Kennel Club. He will be judging a B match for the Puget Sound Pomeranian Club on February 18 in Seattle. Results to be printed in the next Review.Who and what is a breeder Many various opinions have been offered. Someone who cares more for the welfare of the dog than for show wins. The person who helps a bitch through her labor and who helps take care of the puppies. The person whose name is on the registration at the time of mating and delivery. He may do all of this and still not be a breeder in the true meaning of the word. A breeder is theone who does the planning who researches the background of the dogs he is planning to mate and carefully examines as many potential ancestors as he can before the actual mating takes place. The true breeder does care about the betterment of the breed. Congratulations to Sally and Vance McGilbry for their long time devotion to our breed and the art of showing dogs. I have enjoyed knowing you.I also wish to thank Edna Girardot for her inspiration. The Northwest News and Views column in the January Review was inspired by her comments. However, this fine lady has inspired me in many other ways as well. She is always thoughtful of others, courteous in the ring and fair in her dealings. I am proud to know you.No one has officially notified me of any recent show wins, but I heard that Linda Gallacher is showing a promising daughter of Ch. Bi-Mar Sundance Kid, with back to back wins in Oregon last month. Jim Morans Ch. Tomhos Georgia Heatwave was Best of Breed at Puyallup last month Harbins Sweet Summer Storm has done some winning including Winners Bitch at Puyallup.

Inc. 1978 Neptune City, New Jersey. 220 pages, color, blackwhite illustrations. Available from CherryBrook 5.25 plus postage and handling.I purchased Dog Breeding for Professionals when it was first published in 1978. I have read it at least a dozen times since then and it is the one book I recommend to novice breeders when they plan their first litter. It is not a book about dog genetics, and unlike the Hart book or the Whitney book it does not devote much space to genetic plans for structurally or cosmetically superior dogs.The book is about dog breeding and everything which goes with it. It is a clearly written, factually correct, practical and extremely concise guide to the anatomy, physiology, paternity, maternity, birth and early growth of the dog. It is an instruction manuel for the breeder, jammed packed with information. Its unique design makes it possibly the best educational how-to book I have seen on dog breeding.When I buy how-to books I always get into trouble. I follow the instructions down to the last letter and the end result is a great howling massive disaster. When I bought a very famous book on dog handling and tried to follow the instructions and photographic illustrations I had the misfortune to be teamed with a dog who hadnt read the book. Id set his front, hed cross his paws Id take his chin, hed sit down Id set his hock, hed roll over. It was truly uplifting. A wonderful experience. It seems that the people who write these books always assume that the reader is going to be able to follow their directions . . but that isnt necessarily true.The Richards book does not make that assumption. The author actually understands that only the truly uninitiated would believe that things turn out the way theyre supposed to. The book follows a pattern of1. Presenting the ideal situation.2. Explaining what to do when that ideal doesnt come about.3. Explaining what to do when things get even worse.I consider this book my little hedge against hysteria.The writing style is pleasant, almost friendly, but Spartan. Wherever possible the author will use outlines. When he discusses a topic, his coverage is exceptionally well detailed. Questions are anticipated and answered. Areas often neglected are given attention. There is no time wasted on flowery prose or amusing anecdotes. You need information and he gives it to you.Its difficult to choose a topic to use as an example, because he deals so well with all the major topics he presents. When the stud dog is discussed, after presenting all the basic anatomy and a specific description of the physiology of breeding, Richards discusses the importance of training a stud to be handled during a breeding. He then goes on to the topic of the experienced vs. the inexperienced dog, the over-aggressor and the faint-hearted. He takes on the topic of the responsibility of the stud owner to see that the bitch is cared for and protected. He goes into the problem of the travelling bitch, right down to how the crate should be labelled to prevent shipping difficulties.In the section on the actual mating procedure, he deals with more than the dogs. He describes the equipment the handlers should use including mounting blocks, gloves, muzzles if necessary, lubricants and provides instructions for breedings which require two and three handlers.

The pre-natal section rovers bitchs diet, exercise, living accommodations, medical problems. The actual whelping includes instructions on the building of the box, the whelping itself and he aftermath. Dr. Richards includes a list which specifies the sequence of whelping events. The list consists of twenty four events, beginning with the temperature drop, and it is an excellent guideline for anyone whelping a litter.The section on the ideal whelping is followed by a section on helping the bitch with problems. The author provides instructions for helping to deliver extra large pups, or pups with respiratory problems. He presents a list of seven danger signs which the owner should take as reasons to call the vet.The chapter on common problems is followed by another chapter on other problems, aptly entitled, Whats Wrong Again This chapter covers still more troubles including difficult presentations, fetal retention, inertia, placental retention and hernia. Here he provides a list of eight methods of reviving pups who are depressed. The list goes from the through-the-legs arc to water immersion. The list is accompanied by instructions on mouth-to-mouth aspiration and mouth- to-mouth resuscitation.It is difficult to describe the scope of the book without going through and summarizing each chapter. Unfortunately, that is beyond the reach of this article. The post-birth chapters give an account of early physical maturation and infant behavior. There is an entire section devoted to the raising of orphan pups. The chapters on genetics provide a good clear explanation of the basic principles.This is a very good book for both the amateur and the professional, and would make a creditable addition to any dog breeders library.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. Mary Rosenbaum, 26520 28th Ave. S., Federal Way, WA 98003.If you only wish to subscribe to the Review contact the Circulation Manager, Mr. John Cribbs, Rt. 1, Box 249, Doswell, VA 23047.REMINDERAll members of the APC desiring a certificate from the Club for Champions and Obedience Titles published in the Gazette during 1982 which were owned by you, please submit your name as owner, dogs name and month published in the Gazette to Sally Baugniet, 11224 County Highway B, Mishicot, WI 54228.POMERANIAN REVIEW 8,Twin Pines Pomeraniansr1Twin Pines Sugar BearSugar Bear is pictured at 5 months, ready to start on the circuit.Ch.

From all reports, the weather will be better than last year.A local Maltese breeder had an interesting experience. She took one of her bitches in for a section and got two males. However, both of them had their intestines on the outside. The vet told her they would be sure to die that way and asked if she wanted him to attempt surgery to repair the disorder. He said he had successfully done it once on a larger breed puppy. She agreed and both puppies thrived never any problem at all. He warned her there was danger of infection for several days and put them on antibiotics. Of course, if this were to happen in a normal whelping at home, the time lapse may be too great by the time this could be done.Ch. Millamors Mark Medallion has added a couple more Group 2s to his record while Millamors Mood Music is getting close to his championship. He went Winners Dog in the Lakeland show on January 10 for a 3 point major. Ch. Pratts Gold Ray of Sunshine, owned by Linda Pratt and Tony Gay took the Breed at that show.Ch. Coys Top of the Mark, owned by Mrs. Ashlyn Cannon of Charlotte, NC finished his championship in the first of four Arkansas shows on December 2, going on to capture two Group ls and a Group 4 in the following three shows on that circuit. Topper was the number one winner on the Florida circuit 3 breeds and and Group 1 and Group 2. Ch. Bells Chriscendo Carmichael made a nice showing on this circuit 3 breed wins. The entries were unusually large this year around 30 in each show with the Specials classes running from about 6 to 10 in each show.We knew one of our bitches was due to whelp between December 23 and 28. Normally we move one in about a week beforehand, but with Christmas and company coming we hadnt gotten it done. She was checked at bedtime on the 21st and all was well. She had eaten all her food and took her bedtime treat and all seemed perfectly normal. Of course, she was in a wall pen by herself. Imagine my surprise the next morning when I discovered two puppies crawling around in the pen They were cleaned up and dry so I figure they had been there for several hours. She had free whelped one litter before with us standing over her. This is sure the way to go wonder if more of them might do that if they werent so carefully watched.Would still love to get some mailThe 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 REVIEW 8'Fanjet Kennelsl \ NKAriHWINNERSCh.

Attleboro, MA 02760POMERANIAN REVIEWJ8YIPS AND YAPSLt. Col. Gliff Gaudet [Ret.] Lafayette, LADislike being critical of a publication Pomeranian Review that I enjoy above any other, but . . . why not have color photographs throughout or optional as in the Anniversary Issue. Maybe this is presently available and the fancy is unaware. Imagine a Review filled with colorful little Poms truly a keepsake.Type and soundness are primary prerequisites for quality Poms, closely followed by quantity, quality and color of coat. The Review currently shows all but color.I recently ran an ad in the Review depicting my Oaklawns Diamond Gem sent in an 8 x 10 color show photo earning a 3 pt. major under judge Darrell Baker. This dogs actual color could best be described as a brilliant copper sable. In the ad hes a mudball. . Bakers beard came out well.Ive discussed this need with several Pom Review subscribers, many of whom advertise. All of them indicated that theyd be happy to pay whatever differential between cost of black and white and color reproduction. When you consider the total financial investment in a Pom worthy of recognition in the Review, color cost is a pittance.Why not come up with cost comparisons and price ad estimations possible price increase of the Review theyd be worth much more. Have the Board of Directors massage the idea poll subscribers for concensus.Lets do something to depict our little Poms in all of their glory. Theyre certainly worth it.Editors Note Color reproduction is currently available for anyone who wants it. If you provide 4-color separations, the cost is 300 separations will add another 100 to the cost approximately. For further information, contact the editor for complete details at 602721-7620.P.S. Id LOVE to see Poms in color Lets do itFrom The EditorIt is a real pleasure to work on the Pom Review for the breeders and exhibitors of this lovely breed. You have shown how much you appreciate an attractive, well produced magazine by your continuing support. I truly hope that more and more people will want to advertise.However, advertising alone is not enough. A breed magazine is not complete without articles about the breed written by breeders. The Pom Review is fortunate to have regular contributing writers like Margaret McKee, Sally Baugniet, Erin Hundley and others, but it really needs more. Writing is not an easy task, but its a very important one. If you have something to say but dont feel you write well enough to make your point, do the best you can and Ill help you in the areas that are weak.There are a great many subjects on which you can write, in case you dont know where to start. I have listed a few, but Im sure you can come up with more.Step by step instructions are valuable to everyone, particularly the novice who is trying to learn everything at once. Remember when a martingale lead looked like a Chinese puzzle How about details on the correct way to brush a Pom, table train a puppy or worse, an adult, showPOMERANIAN REVIEW 8SACROSS CANADA Chris Heartz P.O. Box 1259 Truro, Nova Scotia Canada B2N 5N2This is the time of year that we really know we live in Canada. As the snows blow outside we can only look ahead to warmer days and of course the 1984 show season.Most of the breeders in the area have puppies to bring out in the Spring and that makes winter seem that much longer. We recently saw Frankie and Michele McDonalds gorgeous male Mark. He is sired by last years APC winner, Can. Am. Ch. Hillsboros Golden Chip ex their Can. Am. Ch. Star Child at Hobbit. You can bet this guy has a future ahead of himLooking back over last years winning results are in for shows up to September of 83 and in number 1 is Matt Heindls Ch.Bavanews Master Skylark, second is Ch. Chriscendo Carlotta, owned by myself and Eleanor Miller. Third is Luxtons Forever Misty Mickey, owned by Leslie Rogers. Ch. Hillsboros Golden Chip, owned by Natalie Dunfee is fourth and Ch. Chriscendo Causin A Commotion is fifth Its been a great year for Poms and there has been some very impressive winning done by all of these dogs. The race is still on and anyone could still end up in the number one spot.We just received in the mail today, the first Canadian Pomeranian Stud Book. It was almost a solo effort of one of our most energetic members, who is also assistant editor of the Canadian Newsletter, Jan Barrett. Its a lovely job and really nice to see all the stud dogs and their pedigrees in one book. 1 believe copies are still available from Jan. She can be contacted at RR 2, Thorsby, Alberta, Canada TOC 2PO.Next issue I hope I will have the Top Pom in Canada results for the year as wellas the news of our first spring shows. Till then . . .Yips and Yaps, continued.trim or just a foot, build a whelping box or a whole kennel.Discussions of breed problems are always welcome. How did you overcome shyness in your breeding program What kind of breeding was done to help improve stifles What needs to be done to improve bites How do you develop a showy attitude without creating a hyper dog How have outcrosses helpedhindered the breedYour opinion on dog problems andor dog shows is of interest also. Do you like Group and Best in Show competition or should the show end after Best of Breed What do you think should be done about puppy mills and how do we explain to the uninitiated that all breeders arent bad Is there too little emphasis on obedience among Toy breedersIf your opinion is really just a comment, dont hesitate to write it to Yips and Yaps. This section is set aside for your letters and it gives everyone a chance to be heard and have his thoughts answered by others. Not everything we have to say is worthy of a whole article.So put on your thinking cap and write. Its fun to see your name in print and who knows, you might make it a habit Please take this as an invitation and dont wait to be asked. The breed needs you.KENNEL VISITThe July issue will feature the kennel of Lennis Raines Davis.

Swngolds Gay CavillerMemphis, TN Show, 1961. Judge, Haskill Schuffman Handler, Clara Alford.Cavilier produced 66 American and 6 Foreign champions.Since the pictures of 2 males I finished in January on the Florida circuit have not arrived, I thought it might be interesting to many newcomers, to have a picture of the greatest producing male Pom. I still have a living, producing son and in fact, is sire of one of the males I finished in January. I have several grand children and am able to keep my line going.Was in New York for the Pom Specialty and Westminster. At the APC banquet, it was announced by Sam Zaneoff that the show next year will be held in my honor. I was in total shock and could say little at that time, but I do want to thank the APC and especially Sam for this honor. How nice to know this and to have the opportunity to enjoy being honored. Usually it is in memory of someone. In the meantime Ill be breeding and doing my thing and looking forward to seeing all of you next year, God willing.Edna E.
