This is the time of the year that all New Englanders look forward to sunny skies, mild breezes, picnic lunches and an air of friendliness everywhere.and Board Members want to hear from you Send in your suggestions, help us to do the job you elected us to do.I am sorry to report that we have lost one of our Local Pom Clubs The Pomeranian Club of Florida Miami Area has notified us that they have disbanded. I am sorry that this happened and only wish there was some way that the members of that club would reconsider and get back together again. On the bright side A new Pom Club is starting up in the Central Part of Florida, They have a fine group of Officers and I know I am speaking for all Pom Folks when I wish them, Much Success.As you will read elsewhere in this issue the Proposed New Standard was accepted by an overwhelming majority 180 for, 30 against. It is now in the hands of the American Kennel Club for final approval and we hope that it will be ready for final printing in the October Issue of the Pom Review.Marjorie Bull winkle is hard at work making plans for our 1971 Annual Specialty Show watch for details as soon as the judges are approved you will be notified. Please help Marj make Our 1971 Specialty one to be remembered Start making your plans to support her and the Club in every way you can.We are starting a new project this year in hopes that it will bring the membership closer together the success of this endeavor will depend on each and every one of you. The name of the project is C.O.M.E. and Bert Bedell has been appointed Chairman of it. I hope you will all become active in C.O.M.E. Bert will explain it in this issue. Your OfficersIt has been difficult for me to write this column this month, mainly because I know that the ending is a sad one.Since the last issue of Pom Review we have lost two more dear friends in Poms. Miss Berneice Lovelace, who was a Past Officer in Our Club and for many years Circulation Manager of the Pom Review. Our Sincere Sympathy to her mother and father.We will all miss Charles Girardot husband of Our Past President Edna Girardot. Charlie didnt get to very many shows because he had been ill for many years, but he always managed to attend some of the shows in the New England Area and even though he was suffering, he managed to keep people laughing with his witty sayings and jokes. Many of you will remember him taking tickets and selling catalogues at our Specialty Show each year. Charlie was always willing to help until his health no longer permitted him to do so.

There is an old saying which states that the perfect dog has yet to be born. Yet, we like to think we have perhaps produced this very thing in Windsweet the impossible the ideal the perfect Pomeranian Windsweet cannot be faulted Flawless for conformation, heavy coat of good orange color, small well-placed ears on a beautiful head, lovely expression with the correct small eye, soundest of legs with the highest of tailsets and to add to this picture of exquisite perfection, she is a well-balanced, shortbacked, animated showman of breedable size combined with the sweetest of forward temperaments. With her heritage of linebred Aristic and Showstopper background, she is our fulfillment of long years of planned breedings for soundness and type.

She arrived from Texas like a, dog right out of Vogue Magazine, ft was not long after, I had the privilege to ask the very kind, and' orilliant handler Mrs. Hermine Cleaver to handle Duchess for me exclusively. We were both confident then, that Duchess would almost immediately capture the hearts of all who saw her. Our dreams came true. After just a short time in her Specials career Duchess went on to win the Breeds over top Eastern Competition under some very prominent judges, and then went on to place in tough Group Competition here in the East. She recently received Group I under the very prominent Judge Marjorie Siebern. She was privileged in still this short period to be awarded Best Of Opposite Sex to Best Of Breed at the Pom Specialty here in New York, competing against top Poms from all over the country.Duchess has just recently been honored when asked to represent the Breed Standard in Dog World Magazine. I just suppose one could ask little more of such a truly great ball of fire.We plan a fine career ahead for her, and it shall be my desire to campaign her wherever possible. Duchess has made me not only a proud owner of a beautiful Pom, but has given me the opportunity of meeting all the wonderful people who have done so much for this beautiful breed, and who have given me the confidence I have felt for this adorable breed as well.Again my thanks, and gratitude to the Bakers, to their proud Pom Corn Duke, to all the Judges who have thought so highly of Duchess, and last but not least to our friend, and Handler Mrs. Hermine Cleaver without whom we could not have attained this great fame.REGIONAL POMERANIAN CLUBS Eay Colony Pomeranian Club Columbia Pomeranian Club Fort Worth Pomeranian Club Mrs. C.A.

CLEAVEROld Baltimore Pike, R.D. 2 Newark, Del. 19711A.K.C. Licensed HandlerWhen exhibiting a dog, we must eep in mind to have a well pre- ented dog. We are all out there to vin. To be successful, we start by ood care at home. Sensible feeding s a must for our Poms.In the morning, we hand feed a small amount of chopped beef mixed with raw egg yolk and wheat germ cereal. The reason for hand feeding is so the dog learns to bait and to overcome hand shyness.The main meal, cooked beef with a small amount of beef heart, kidney and liver. This is mixed with a fine kibble, vitamins and oil for the coat.For a bedtime snack, again we hand feed a few bites of cheese. Once a week, for a treat and change, we serve noodles with chicken. As for vitamins, I never give the full amount as described. I prefer a little less.It is important to be in close contact with your dog as much as possible.In the short time that we have had the pleasure to have Poms in our kennel, my husband and I have fallen deeply in love with the breed. We are most fascinated with their beautiful personality and their energetic ways. Their minds are always working. How they keep up in the ring, knowing it is important You cannot help but love them. They deserve the very best care we can give them.Now I will try to explain about grooming. First of all, I prefer a goodpin point brush. Regular grooming is a must in this breed, and should be done daily. If the dog is dropping his coat, brush and comb out the dead hair and give him a good bath. You will be amazed how quickly the new coat comes in. Daily spraying with rainwater, gentle massaging and brushing will stimulate the new hair.To prepare your dog for the show, you want the dog to be as glamorous as you can make him. Think of it as a beauty contest. Nothing will please a judge more than a well presented dog.Start off by spraying the dog with a good coat dressing. Then sprinkle powder lightly in the coat. Work the powder gently in with your fingers and let it stand until nearly dry.Continued on Page 20CONGRATULATIONSTOCATHERINE AND BERT BEDELLandThe Cabert PomsfromMargenes J.

And never does the census rise beyond the limits where TENDER, LOVING CARE is not a part of every little guys life. Just as with humans, TLC is essential to produce an emotionally well-balanced dog.1.View of bitches end of kennel. Kennel is air-conditioned.Catherine and Bert have had dogs of several breeds during their lifetimes. Many years back they had Toy Fox Terriers and sixteen years ago acquired their first Pom from a woman in Islip, L.I. The second came from our 1st Vice President, Katherine Probst. All were pets. But Berts experience with Poms dates back to his boyhood when he helped to take, care of the 4 or 5 pet Poms of his godfather and next door neighbor the famous comedian Victor Moore.It is always of interest to discover how people got started in a particular breed. It seems that one day while visiting their son, Jan, at Union College, Catherine was leafing through the telephone book and. spied an adPOMERANIAN REVIEWiWin faOther end of the kennel. At the far end is located the room containing cages and inside run for the males. Along the far wall, is the grooming bench enclosed by a transparent plastic curtain. On the right, a real utility tub with two formica drainboards. Refrigerator and freezer are just before the sink area.for Poms. It was none other than Scotia Kennels. Nothing would do for Catherine but to pay a call. Since Edna and Charlie were away at a show, the kennel girl showed Catherine and Bert through. Of course, Catherine fell in love with a tiny female called Is she. Because of her diminutive size and weight at birth, it was questionable whether she was going to make it in life. Hence, the phrase and title, Is she or is she not Is she became Bambi to the Bedells. This was 1961, and Bambi was not destined for a long life span as she unfortunately fell from a chair and died hours later. Bambi was replaced by BOODA, who was to be Catherine and Berts first show dog. They entered her at Westchester and hired a professional handler. The night before the show a call was received by Bert. The handler was ill. Undaunted three greenhorns ventured to Westchester Booda, Catherine and Bert. Thanks to the kindness and interest of Edna Girardot the show careers of the Bedells began.As with many of us, showing dc was not enough ... to breed w the next step.

Scotias Gay Cavilier.As a newcomer to Poms but a veteran dog show participant I have found Catherine and Bert most kind and helpful to novices, dedicated to the breed, and devoted to the advancement of the Pomeranian Club of AmericaHELPFUL HINTSby LEE B. HANAWALT1115 Logan Road Bethel Park, Pa. 15102Since many of our puppy sales and stud services are arranged through correspondence, good photographs are important. Here are some ideas about taking pictures of Pomeranians.Have someone pose the dog outside on a grooming table for the pictures and hold the camera on the same level as the table top. This gives better perspective and background than shooting down on top of the dog. Arrange the table so that the background is clear sky or distant trees. If you have a focusing camera, this will give an even blurred background that will not distract from the dog.Composition of your photo is very important. Dont make your correspondent guess what the dog looks like because it is off in the distance or behind a fence. Get as close to the dog with the camera as you can.Any camera may be used but some points to consider are speed of development and ability to make close- ups. Since everyone likes to see recent pictures, either home processing or Polaroid is best. Home processing is easy and superior to Polaroid because multiple copies can be made and cropping or enlarging are possible.Special closeup lens attachments are available for nearly all modern cameras but some experimenting will be necessary to get the whole dog in the picture. It helps to make a cardboard viewer and to tape it to the back of the camera. This is not necessary with reflex cameras.I salute them Continued on Page 45POMERANIAN REVIEWCABERT KENNELSPOMERANIANS PREFERREDCatherine E.

The increases realized rere because the fees for registration f litters and individual dogs have iegun to help offset the deficit of perations. We find in looking at the treasurer's report an increase in the 969 income of 1,536,646.00. The total ncome for 1969 was 6,178,601.41. This ncome is comprised of registration ees of all kinds, show licenses and ertificates, and all other items.On the expenditure side of the report, we find that the cost of rent md salaries, together with the cost f office operations, takes a considerable portion of the income. Included in the salary picture, of course, is he retirement plan which was so ong delayed. We still find the Ga- .ette, as part of operations, in the leficit column, which is ever a chal- enge to the official family of AKC. We might pause for a moment and lonsider our publication, The Pom- iranian Review. We, too, in offering he publication to our members and subscribers, find it difficult to operate .n the black rather than the red. We 3o have to consider the costs of print- .ng and all other components.It is interesting to note that in the year 1969, we find an increase in dog registrations for all breeds of 7.0. The greatest increase was in the Sporting Group, having 16.6 of the total increase of 1969, followed by the Terrior Group with 14.0, then the Hound Group with 7.0. All breed groups had a percentage increase, except in the case of the Toys.The Toy Group suffered a decrease of 2.5. The Pekes and Poms had decreases of 0.54, and the Chihuahua suffered the greatest with 1.45. There were other percentages in the over-all picture of the Toy Group. The report shows that our breed, the Pomeranian, moved from a twelfth position in registration for 1968 to that of fourteenth for 1969. We do not believe that the decrease was alarming, but we all hope for improvement in 1970.Recently I had promised to make efforts for improvements in the exercise pen facilities at the various shows with, of course, emphasis being made that the small dogs should not have to use the same pens with the larger breeds. I had in mind, also, an improvement in cleanliness of frequency of cleaning these pens and replacement of litter material. I shall keep trying on this project and report as soon as I have information.It is well to complain, and it is so easy to do so. But there is also a time when we should reflect upon the things that we do in dog showing which can cause others to complain about us. I focus your attention please upon our own conduct and cleanliness from the time we leave the kennel for the show to the time we return. It is proper to say that we are judged by our actions and conduct in every respect.On our way to and from shows, for the sake of our own safety and that of our dogs, drive carefully. Dont take chances and have full regard for the rights of others. On the way going and coming, if we stop to exercise our dogs, be careful not to have complaints of unthoughtfullness in doing so.

While we now it is costly for reservations, we re still privileged guests in that the management permitted us to stay ith dogs. This privilege bestows upon s additional care if we are to be elcome in the future. Before writing n this subject, I believed that I tiould make a personal survey of the ratter. I was surprised to learn how eally thoughtless we are as guests of he places who will accept dogs, mccornmodations are a real problem, nd we can increase that problem if re do not take care. I find that the nanagement of most places who have [iscontinued accepting guests with logs have real reasons for so doing, teports show that persons with dogs .llow them complete freedom of the [uarter while being present and, sad- y, when leaving for meals or other easons. Reports are given me of orn upholstery, curtains, bedding md wanton soilings throughout. Re- ' orts are given of dog owners allow- ng dogs to relieve the call of nature, md some of the larger breeds leave mbelievable messes for other guests o walk into and otherwise soil garments and shoes. Reports show that here are too many cases of bathing if dogs in the bathtub with residue left, including the hair, which surely is a drain dogger. Reports show that logs are taken along beautifully shrubbed walks of motels and with males, this can be curtains in the life of the same.All of which, dear reader, sounds like it is up to us to be called Acceptable with Pets in the future. This can-only be so if we are thoughtful and reasonably considerate of the rights of others which includes the management where we are Guests.I close with the usual hope that you will communicate your ideas, suggestions and complaints to me. I assure you I am here to serve you faithfully.CLEAVER ContinuedThen brush every hair carefully from the skin up. Do not use a heavy hand. A good test is when you are finished, there should be little or no hair in the brush. After completing, stand your dog and respray him lightly again, then take a wide spaced comb and style the dog. Make sure no trace of powder has been left.Now for our black Poms.It is important to start with a good coat. Black coats are easy to care for, if proper care is given. I spray the black Poms twice daily with rainwater and brush gently. You can use a little coat dressing, if you wish, but rainwater will do just as well. Keep -'your black Poms away from the sunlight, so their coats will stay black.The art of presenting a dog is learning to know your dog so that you both go in the ring as a team and not as individuals. When in the ring, there are only the Judge, the dog, and yourself that matter. Very soon the Pom knows his importance and what is expected of him. He will work with you towards his win.Editors Note In the next issue, we will bring you an article on the technique of line brushing, by Mrs. Lill Ritz.Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your geairsfPOMERANIAN REVIEWSILVER MEADOWS POMERANIANS Meet Ch.

They gulp their food and swallow it whole. Keep this in mind, when feeding Toy breeds, and do not give chunks of meat that might lodge in the esophagus. Our thanks to Mrs. Jack - Shirley- Jones of Exquisite Kennels for this warning. She lived through a night of terror, when a Pom nearly choked to death on a piece of chicken.2 The AKC will not permit the use of a Registered Kennel Name by unauthorized persons. Further, the AKC will try to protect the sole use of an unregistered kennel name, if it has been used by a breeder for a number of years, although not required to do so. Ethical breeders will avoid the use of kennel names ordogs names which are reminiscent other, perhaps more famous ones.3 The first Toy Dog to earn U.D.T. degree in obedience was Pomeranian. This top-winning Por was Georgians Betty, owned an trained by Mrs. Agnes Niven.4 Trimming the Poms whisker is not permitted by either the presen or the newly approved Standard fo our breed. It should never be doneIMPORTANT NOTICEPlease make ALL CHECKS foi Review advertising, subscriptions, etc payable to the American Pomeranian Club. Thank you.POMERANIAN REVIEWTHE POMERANIAN CLUB OF GREATER HOUSTONBy MARIE K. HYNES, Secretaryhe Pomeranian Club of Greater ustons members have been very sy this quarter. Dog shows have n numerous and almost every mber has had at least one dog tered.Our third Fun Match was held in njunction with the Baytown Ken- il Club match on May 10, 1970. mplete results are not available st yet, but Best of Breed and Best ippy went to a young female owned Tom and Norma ORourke. Her ill name is Little Bit. This match is planned very hurriedly with not uch time for extensive promotional forts by Club members, but, in spite this, we had a nice entry of twenty vely Poms. Quality of exhibits was ccellent again reflecting the work id efforts of our Club toward breed- lg better dogs. Many of the young- ers shown will no doubt later bear rat beautiful title Champion.Molly Miller writes that her Myway luke Celou Celae went BOW in Lake lharles on April 18, 1970 at seven .lonths of age. He also took two oints in Montgomery, BOW, making , total of five points from the two hows.Merle and Tommy Daniels are very roud of their little bitch Daniels 3retty Bit of Dragon. She won her irst points at Shreveport, Louisiana. The following week-end she went Reserve from the Puppy Class at the fort Worth Pom Specialty and Reserve at the Fort Worth Kennel Club A.11 Breed Show all of this at seven months of age. A couple of weeks later she went Winners Bitch again at Lake Charles, Louisiana. Two weeks after this Pretty went WB at Montgomery, Alabama. This past week she went WB at Pensacola, Florida. Spectators who have watched Pretty in exhibition are astounded by her resemblance to her famous father Ch. Corns Duke Dragonfly. Pretty is being handled by Mrs. Sharon Griffin.Tom and Norma ORourkes Tonos at Midnight lacks only one point to complete his championship title.Darrell and Olga Bakers top-winning Pom Ch. Corns Duke Dragonfly recently was awarded his 100th Eest of Breed win at Lake Charles, Louisiana then went on to Best in Show that evening for his 17th time. It was a really exciting event with a champagne celebration afterward. It seems to everyone that Duke has been around forever setting record wins and carrying the honors banner for Poms but in truth he is only 41 years old.Two more of the Bakers little dogs both sired by Champion Duke have been doing nice winning for them. Jeribeths Dragonfly Dickens now has thirteen points, and a young female, Jeribeths Sweet Snapdragon, won both of her majors very quickly. Her first 5 point major was at the big Fort Worth Pom Specialty, where Ch. Corns Duke Dragonfly won Best of Breed again this year making it five years in a row, which surely must be a record.Those Duke offspring are turning up everywhere. Ch. Jeribeths Golden Duchess just won a big Toy Group up East for her new owner, Sam Zaneoff. On one recent week-end three of Dukes sons and daughters finished in one week-end.Our Club is understandably proud that three of our Houston dogs were top winners, Phillips System for 1969. 2 Pom was Ch.

Above all janne Adams wants to keep Snook- s well, but she does also want to eep him happy and that is why she lok him along to the training classes fter his retirement because he want- d to go so badly. All he was supposed 3 do was sit at the sidelines and ratch, but between each exercise he rould run out on the floor all excited o go to work.So, Mrs. Adams checked with the reterinarian and it was decided to et him try. Now he seems to have nade a complete recovery and is eeling fine, and they are going to a -rial now and then. Of course he is eing very carefully watched so as o not impair his health. Snookie is he typical Pom in obedience a rowd-pleaser and loving the attention. Jeanne says he is always look- ,ng for applause and will turn circles and dance around just to get it. This is not the best way to get a perfect score but what a pleasure to see a dog enjoying obedience work so, and dont forget that the judges knowwhat the rules say about the happiest working dog.At a recent show in Rhode Island this little sharpie started to come straight in on the directed jumping, but all of a sudden remembered that he was supposed to do the jump, turned around and went back over the jump Another time in a match at Rhode Island he went out just fine for the directed jumping exercise but when Jeanne sent him over the jump he just sat there, first looked at her, then the floor, then the jumps and then the rubber mats then only instead of going diagonally to the jumps he ran across the mats and made a right angle turn and went over the jump. He did the same thing on both the bar and the high jump that day you see, he doesnt like a slippery floor and figured out all by himself how to get over the jumps without going on the bare floor. A favorite trick of his is to make several circles on his way out to the directed jumping, also to go over the high jump and look the crowd over if people are watching he will turn around several times, then grab the dumbell and bring it over the jump. We hope soon to have the good word that Snookie has made his U.D. how can he do otherwise Best of luck to him and Jeanne Adams.Want some good obedience reading Be sure to get the excellent book, Your Pomeranian by Pauline Hughes Denlinger.

Jan. 9 Jaxville, 10th Day- na, 11th Orlando, 13th Sara- ta, 14th Bradenton, 15th learwater, 16th St. Pete, 17th ampa, 21st Palm Beach, 22nd t. Lauderdale, 24th Miami all reed.The above is the revised schedule iven us at the last open meeting of tie Fla. assoc, of Knl Clubs Inc. This a group, made up of delegates from 11 the member clubs of the state of 'la. for the purpose of, AMONG THER THINGS, organizing the best lossible route for you folks to follow o cover the state of Fla for the hows. I mention this only because .' had not heard of such an organisation before coming to Fla. therefore concluded maybe some of you lad not.There is a new gal in Fla. making a name for herself these days, she is Oak Hill Sassafras. At the Macon and Atlanta Ga. Shows she took W.B. and B.O.S. At Columbus, Ga. she was W.B. and B.B. She is owned by Geri Kabel who incidently, has waited a long time for a winner so we hope this puppy does it for her. . .The cute little fellow Caroline Alt- water was calling Nutty Pat on our circuit in Jan., is now respectfullyknown as CH. Stylish Patrick of Spungold.We Birks took advantage of a couple of matches to keep our Socko in Training for the coming shows. He got a group first at one and Best Adult, Best of Breed in a fun match given for a limited number of breeds by the new Shih Tzu club. If it is possible to get a coat and blow it at the same time thats what is happening to Sock Everyone down here says I must keep him in air conditioning.A large percentage of my mail agrees that we have made progress with our Poms but also are concerned about the petty likes and dislikes. With all our achievements and failures it serves no purpose to dwell in a contraversial fashion upon either personalities or picayune points. The constructive approach is to learn from the past how to solve the problems ahead of us, in a manner that will be complimentary to the supporters of the Poms we champion.First and foremost, our local or area programs should conform to the ones adopted by the parent club, namely that every step of advancement must be looked upon with Pride and. Honor without exception, with only the betterment of the breed in view as the objective.The strength of the Parent club lies in the breed support throughout the nation, with all fanciers co-operating to a common goal. This cant be accomplished if there are personal axes to grind or if the motives are short of true sincerity.The area affiliated clubs are an instrument, if properly managed, that will make for FRIENDLY RIVALRY. The exchange of show visits, educaPOMERANIAN REVIEWtion and instruction are most important for those new owners. Members should always extend a helping hand to those wanting to learn and not even knowing what questions to ask. The area club can also serve as an outlet for the breeders, who are surely deserving of a little horn blowing.A few of the more fearless Pomeranian fanciers of the state of Florida have gathered together, and God willing with the A.K.C. approving will soon have a successful, fruitful club with a lot of enthusiastic hard working members.At the first meeting it was voted that the pro tern officers are President, Ray Wine Clearwater Vice Pres., Karl Kabel Winter Haven Secretary, Geri Kabel Mrs. Karl Treasurer, Faye Wine Mrs. Ray. Board members are R. E. Altwater, Jacksonville Jack and Jo Pitts, Hollywood Ted and Kathryn Birk, Ft. Ldale. The 10th charter member is Caroline Altwater, Mrs. R. E.. She was immediately put to work as historian. A second meeting will be held soon in Orlando.We are hopeful that the club will have complete support of all the Pom fanciers and that we all will be as SWEET LOVABLE as our Poms are. Think we can do it Lets try real hard . . . Miracles DO happen.HINTS ContinuedA show stance is not the only pose that can be successfully used. Try various views including front, head, sitting, and group shots. There is nothing more appealing than several pom puppies showing their devilish grins. ' MID - WEST REPORTby STELLA B.

The other bitch is now Ch. Mar Vans Dutchess De Ora. This bitch is an outstanding bitch, and what makes it more so is the fact that she is five years old and has had 4 litters, and still has legs that no one can dispute, coat to match any special, male or female. I offered to give her a home if Van was crowded for space, but I dont think he went for that. De Ora was handled by Betty Naprstek. I saw a lovely black son of Ch.

The Texas Circuit proved a opper at the beginning as far as borty was concerned. After six Lonths on the road and 35,000 miles tore or less, with shows in many ates and finishing 14 dogs, 7 Poms nd 7 other breeds, for their titles, e cratered.The Florida and Georgia shows rere real nice and he enjoyed them ut was feeling ill, came home and ft for Oklahoma then on to start the ,exas Circuit. In Austin and San mtonio he finished 3 Poms and a leeshond, all with 5 point majors, .fter the last Pom finished in San mtonio he checked it to them and leaded for home. More dogs were waiting to start and our daughters Ceeshond bitch still needed 3 single joints to finish but he felt that this vas a good time to take the Drs, idvice and call a halt.On his Drs, advice he has lost wenty pounds, I hate Him, and is aking it easier. So he is feeling much jetter and may be able to avoid surgery for the time being.Now he is kennel building, more runs etc., landscaping this acre, general boarding and grooming and all he other many chores that goes along with living. Its still work but of a different variety. The pressures are off, the long hard drives withtime tables to meet and dogs to be shown. I always enjoy and look forward to April as its the kennel maids me vacation time. I had a wonderful three weeks visit with our children and grandchildren in New Orleans. I was there during their Spring Festival and enjoyed the garden tours and trip up the coast to Gulfport.On the way down I stopped in Houston and visited with Barbara and Leo Holder. Had a ball and their new home and kennels is just the Most, especially Barbaras bathroom, a real conversation piece. We went to the dinner meeting of the Houston Pom Club. It was so nice to see the Bakers and all the Pom folks. Their club seems to be going great and they have some very good plans for the future, and are hoping that they will soon be recognized by A.K.C.On my way home I came b Shreveport, La. Visited with the Crawfords, long time Pom breeders. Saw all their Poms and new kennels and it was really nice. They are so gracious and all the 45 Poms greeted me with love and kisses.We have very few point shows in our region 500 Mile radius in the summer as it is so very hot, but most of the clubs do have sanction matches to keep the young ones coming along. They are really so much fun, sometimes I do wish people at the point shows had as much fun and fellowship, and all round good time. The pressures are off, the people relaxed, the dogs happy, and everyone so kind and courteous to each other, its a shame we dont act this way at a point show.To Barbara Holder and her lovely new Champions, To Dr. William Field and his new Champion, and to Mr.Continued on Page 58POMERANIAN REVIEWGreat Elms Kennels, Regd.Congratulations and Best Wishes to Catherine and Bert Bedell and their Cabert KennelsCh.

It does a gorgeous job of separating the hair and gives a lovely well-groomed look to the dog. But, with recent newspaper articles on the dangers of inhaling talc, Im begin- ing to come to the conclusion we all should recognize the probable danger in using it. The first article I came across, mentioned teenagers and glue sniffing, also stating the fact that they were breathing in aerosol containers and that some of these containers had talc which was poison to the lungs. This gave me pause to think, especially when at the same time I heard of a Pom dying of fluid- filled lungs. Could there be any connection So, in discussing this with another Pom breeder and asking her opinion, she told me of one of her Poms with pneumonia and another having lung congestion. She too is beginning to wonder if these conditions could be brought on by talc in the lungs. Then a few days later, my handler gave me a clipping from a newspaper, titled, Baby Powder Kills 2000 Infants a Year in the U.S. Some of the findings in this article are as follows. Talcum powder is good for babys skin, but that is all it is good for, is the opinion of Dr. Martin Keogh of the Department of Health. It is absolute poison to the babys internal organs. He personally believes over a quarter of a million infants have died from talcum powder and many millions more have had their life spans cut short before they really got a foothold in the world.Talcum in its most refined state is a mineral derivitive of talc rock,heavily purified and ground to the finest powder. Everytime a container is used, a certain amount escapes into the air. Because it is light, a great amount can be in the air without being noticed. This talc is breathed in by the infant, slips into his lungs and lodges there. Everytime the talc is used, a new deposit is built up in the lungs, like successive doses of poison. Then the time comes when the baby rolls over in the night, his head momentarily in pillow or sheet. Their lungs are weak and they cannot combat anything with those flabby lung muscles. So they die, apparently for no reason.In England, the British Medical Journal publishes a warning to Mothers on talcum powder. It says young children, age 1 to 2 years, spill a fairly large amount of powder. Some is inhaled. Within an hour, respiratory distress and signs of bronchitis develop. The Journal reported on five cases of talc poisoning. Three babies died within 10 to 20 hours, it said, and advises Mothers not to use it.There is much more in this article, but this alone is enough to make me throw away all my talc. When one thinks of how we brush the talc out of the coat into the air, one can see how much is being breathed in by both dog and ownerIn another newspaper article I have here, taken from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Oct. 5, 1969, Dr. Louise M. Gloeckner, new Vice President of American Medical Association, makes this remark during her discussion of spray can pollution of our homes. Even a substance as innocent looking as talcum powder could be harmful if inhaled often Since we canContinuedon Page 62POMERANIAN REVIEWYIPS AND YAPSCHUCK REYNOLDSNewcastle. Calif.I am pleased and proud to announce that 1 have once again started writing for the Kennel Review All-Breed Magazine. My column, POM TALES, will appear each month in this publication. At one time, Kennel Review was considered to be a West Coast Magazine. During the last couple of years they have expanded facilities which has given them a national status and is now widely read by the top breeders, exhibitors, handlers and judges. If you have not seen this fine publication, I would be happy to give you the information on how to receive it.I am happy to see another All-Breed Magazine join Dog World and Popular Dogs in giving space to our favorite breed. Pauline Hughes and Leona Dengler have for years done a great job placing our Breed before the public and the general dog fancy. I hope I can do as well.1 will need your help. I would appreciate hearing from our Members regularly so I can tell of their happenings in my POM TALES. I hope each of the Specialty Clubs will put me on the mailing list for their newsletters. It will be my pleasure to tell about YOUMRS. JULIE BRUMBACKHarrisonburg, Va.I would like to advertise my first champion Pom. I am sending you Stars picture and pedigree. I bought her from Mrs. Girardot and showed her myself . . . We really did enjoy the experience and hope to have others to show soon. She is Ch. Sun- golds Cay Caviliers 59th champion offspring.I love the Pom Review and think you do a terrific job. Also love the Pom people have belong to the ................................ Club forfive years, but am thinking of dropping it in favor of the Pom Club.MRS. JOY LECOMPTESalem, OregonI feel John Thyssen is not represen the entire West Coast as it was inten he should. He should realize that he i columnist and not a commentator. It ' quite evident that he did not intend mention any of the winners of our S cialty in his column, failing to give name of Best of Breed, Winners and E of Opposite Sex. Yet he covered the \a for the following days show without difficulty. Surely Mr. Thyssen could f one favorable comment to make with committing himself or setting himself as the judge.I would like to point out that Mr. Jan Ryan was a Pomeranian Breeder-exhibi for several years before becoming a juc of various breeds. Having a small specie club and lacking the financial assistance secure an outside judge, it was only natu that we Columbia Pomeranian Club Portland, Inc. secure a judge from t area. Sadly, unfavorable and undeservi comments have been made concerning c Specialty this year. For the first time approximately 9 years, a member of c club was fortunate enough to win Best Breed. Mr. Thyssen failed to mention t name of this BOB bitch and the name her owner, as well as any other wins at t show.As our columnist, John Thyssen shot represent all clubs and all areas of tl West Coast and should leave judging the shows up to the respective judges hin for this purpose. It is not his place as columnist to openly criticize the winnii dogs of any show, but he should stick the actual show reporting itself. It is on natural that the should have his own pe sonal opinion as to what he considers better dog, but this should not be made matter of dispute in his column.I am not attacking Mr. Thyssen persoi nally, but I am calling attention to an ir justice done as our WESTERN ROUNDL columnist. We in Oregon and Washingtc havent yet seceded from the UnionPOMERANIAN REVIEWMRS. CLYDE ANDREWSWoodinville, WashingtonWe know we are beginners but have inted to contribute to the advertising in e Review and to support the club as jch as possible. I was injured in a plane cident in Jan. of 1969 and had back rgery this year so have not been able show as we had wanted. Our male was own by my husband his first experience the ring too in the Whidbey Island ,ow. There were only three Poms present i even though we did get two ribbons we now we and Twig have a lot to learn, ly husband attended a training class for andling with the dog and does feel they elp a lot for the beginner. We have him en- red in another show so perhaps with ractice and training we will be able to do jmething.We want to thank you and the others of le Board for your hard work in putting out ne lovely magazine. We learn so much -om it and look forward to its arrival.DAVID TAN YEW LINSingaporeear Mrs. HustedI have been following your magazine very quarter and must say that it gets nore interesting. Herewith my subscription or another year. Please congratulate the ditors on my behalf.EDITORS NOTE Long letters were revived from Mrs. Lill Ritz and Mr. Lester ilmer on the subject of ideal size of Pom jrood bitches. While readers are interested n controversial subjects, it is felt that no nore space should be given to this long- rontinued argument which has been filling our pages for almost two years.HEYDE Continuedmany good obedience columns in the Pomeranian Review.Happily the Northern California Pomeranian Club decided to add to its list of awards for outstanding achievements during 1969 one for Obedience Exhibitors. This went to Valerie Wagoner of San Francisco, who finished C.D. degrees on two Poms during the year. CongratulationsHOPKINS Continued not expect our dogs to hold their breath while using these products, as one article advises humans to do, one is beginning to wonder what effect all these breathed in pollutants will do to our dogs over a period of time. At present I have one older stud with a bronchial condition that he has had ever since he finished in the ring in 1961. Now I wonder if the talc used at that time long ago is the cause of this coughing he has had all these years, when the vets can find nothing wrong with him.EDITORIALA decline in popularity from 12th to 14th place in AKC Registrations does not see too dreadful until you remember that 15 years ago, Poms had steadily occupied 11th place for at least a decade. The next change was an upswing into 10th and then 9th place, in 1961.It seems to us that the present trend should be reversed NOW, without risking further decline. This can be done, if we all work together. Your Board of Directors is trying in every possible way to carry out the desires of the membership. Let each member resolve to support the Club and to do his or her best to keep our Poms in the public eye. Show your nice specimens in conformation and obedience support your Specialties and take your beautiful, friendly pets into stores and shopping centers, where permitted.POMERANIAN REVIEW 6INDEX TO ADVERTISERSPageDolores Adkins ..............................................................................................................51Mrs. R.
