He has been taking it easy at home but he still has been busy. He is the proud father of 2 girls and 1 boy.Monty is the result of serious line breeding by Ronald Feyh and Eleanor Miller on two of the Millamor great champions of the past Ch. Millamor's Moon Rock and Ch. Millamor's Mark of Dixieland. From one side he gains the strong bone and body and from the other his small delicate features that refined Poms should have.Monty's quality has already been proven by the number and variety of judges that have found him deserving of his wins in the ring. See his show record in July 1985, Pom Review. He is currently rated the 9 Pomeranian in Canine Chronicle.Monty's fine show record is due in part to the expert conditioning and handling by his breeder and exclusive handler, Ron Feyh.Monty is not only a fine show specimen but a joy to have as a companion as well. Lyn-Lee gives their gratitude to Lar-Ron Kennel for making it possible to acquire such good stock from the famous Millamor line.6President's Message................................Secretary's Report....................................More About Jump Height Proposal.Jimmy A Pet With One Good TrickAcross Canada.........................................Along Myway............................................."I Remember When ...".............................Puget Sound Pom Club...........................Columbia Pom Club.................................Pom Club of Greater Baltimore ....Pom Club of Greater Phoenix.................Oregon Webfoot Report...........................San Diego Pom Club.............................Pom Club of Greater Des Moines . .Big Obedience For Little Dogs................by Tammy Carrell As You Train Your First Advanced Dog, ... .42 by Diane BaumanWhat Is A CDX.......................................by Mary VickersObedience Questions and AnswersBehind The New Champions...................Pacific Northwest News and Views The Ever Versatile Pomeranian ...Helpful Hints.............................................Obedience News......................................Vet's Corner..............................................Sportsmanship,.......................................by Alvin Grossman Obedience Profile Brenda HuttonGoing To The APC Specialty................by Brenda HuttonRating Systems and More.......................Pom Review Obedience DirectoryYips and Yaps .......................................Circulation Manager...............................Index of Advertisers...............................8121416202224242632343638.404246485860Lyn-Lee PomeraniansEvelyn and Rollie Conley 20075 ViningRd.

I appreciate all the interest and look forward to producing an all color issue is that possibleIf you are interested in a color ad for this super issue and haven't already contacted the editor, please do so. As I stated in the October issue, no deposit is required yet. I just need an idea of how many people are interested so that I can prepare a price quote.Thank you again.This message will reach you just prior to the nnual Specialty where, once again we have the jportunity of seeing our fellow Pom enthusiasts a once a year occasion for many to share in le comeraderie of close, but seldom seen iends. I do think that in Pomeranians we have ne of the few breeds where there is so little alousy. In general we have a very friendly mosphereas we share in the breed we all love, ranted we disagree on various types, etc., but and large we get along very well and agree that omeranians are wonderful dogs and will work to nprove wherever we can.Competition is healthy and helps us to ontinually strive for that better specimen, but lease, let's not lose sight of the fact that this is jpposed to be fun. It is not a life or death latter that we win, but it is, as the saying goes, low we play the game."As our family has lived in various areas of the ountry we have had the opportunity to observe tmospheres at a wide variety of dog shows. In me areas it appears far more a business, a rious business, than a pleasurable recreational Dort. I do feel that the Houston area is jmewhat unique in that we certainly do have igorous competition, and yet you very seldom ear a disparaging word. Those of us who ompete the strongest often travel together and ompete, head on, and yet remain close friends rith the losers leading the clapping when the est of Breed competes for Group. At our ummer Specialty, many of the exhibitors from ther parts of the country were commenting bout how friendly everyone stayed even after ays of competition.I would like all exhibitors to concentrate on he idea that we do this for fun and when the fun tops, so should we. After all, if there are 10 in ompetition, your odds are 1 in 10 of winning, our chances of losing however are very good nd therefore one must learn to be a good loser, nd conversely a good winner.

Another question dealt with their participation in this. An overwhelming majority wish to see this done.Regarding the question of publishing pedigrees, of 22 APC members polled 15 responded, 13 in the positive, 1 negative and 1 undecided. Non-members 13 responding, 12 positive, 1 undecided.Regarding the question of participation in this APC members 14 positives and 1 negative Non-members 10 positives, 2 negatives and 1 undecided.Rationale Several Review readers indicated that they felt this service would stimulate an interest in obedience would allow further recognition of the hard work done by Poms and their owners and would allow more knowledge of the backgrounds of Poms.Although few Poms attain a tracking title, the last in 1976, many respondents have in interest in this field and wish to see TD Poms included in this proposal.SECRETARY'S REPORTDolores A.

Fred C. Bassett, Delegate merican Pomeranian Club 3193 E. 31st St., Apt. A ulsa, OK 74134 Sincerely yours,Ms. Marion S. Lane'ear Mr. BassettSubject Jump Heights for Pomeranians What Happens Next. . . by Mary VickersThis will follow up our telephone conversation f October 10 regarding the recommended rocedure for seeking a revision to the obedience Regulations to include the Pomeran- in among those breeds which jump once the eight of the dog at the withers, or 8 inches, hichever is greater.I cannot say whether the Board of Directors of he American Kennel Club would approve a equest to lower the jump heights for the omeranian. We trust a request of this nature rauld not be submitted without a compelling rgument supporting such a change.As I outlined on the telephone, the procedure o follow in applying for a revision of this articular kind would be very much like that for l proposed change to a breed standard. A proposal should be written up which clearly resents and justifies the reasons for seeking a ower jump height for Pomeranians. The roposal should be mailed to the entire nembership of the American Pomeranian Club, o be voted on.1. A two-thirds majority of those voting is lormally considered the minimum required to arry unless otherwise provided for in a club's onstitution and by-laws.i. If approved by the club's membership, the secretary of the American Pomeranian Club vould then send the proposal to us, along with he number of ballots sent, how many were eturned in the specified time, and a tally of the number of ballots for and against. i. The proposed revision would then be considered by our Board of Directors for Dublication on the Secretary's Page, Pure-Bred DogsAmerican Kennel Gazette. If published, an analysis of any letters received concerning the proposal would then be presented to our Board for final consideration.If the Board of Directors of the American Pomeranian Club decides to pursue this matter,Feeling depressed upon receiving this notification, I phoned Sue Goddard. Sue is much more optimistic than I and she had the copy of this letter earlier. She had had more time to think.Sue's reply goes like this The last paragraph should be first. The AKC "would appreciate having the opportunity to review. . They did not make this one of their 'steps.' Therefore we have done nothing wrong in not notifying them before the balloting began.Step 1. There has been so much written, petitioned and spoken about lowering the jumps in the dog world, let alone in the Review, the membership should be aware of the issue.Step 2. The vote is in progress.Step 3. Dolores Watts can continue to accept and tally votes. Then, if approved, all can be submitted to the AKC.Step 4. If Gazette-published, more letters can be submitted to the AKC Board by those in favor of the proposal.In a nutshell, Sue says let's got with it. Our major purpose in lowering the jumps is to have Poms who fit the standard short-backed, cobby, balanced, medium legged, up on toes and sound be able to compete in advanced obedience.If we fulfill the AKC requirements and they turn us down, they will tell us why and we can correct and resubmit.OK, I'll go along with Sue. But against my better judgement. Anyone who has dealings with the AKC knows to give them what they want. The AKC has requested "a proposal that clearly presents and justifies the reasons for seeking a lower jump height." They want "a compelling argument supporting such a change." We do not have this. What we do have is mass hysteria and emotion. The AKC will not accept this. They want solid, concrete, scientific facts. We don't have these either.continued on p. 16.1POMERANIAN REVIEW\Apolloette PomeraniansCh.

Hwy 4 Stockton, CA 95205 209 886-5561J14 POMERANIAN REVIEWJimmy A Pet With One Good Trickspeak the king's English." She nuzzled her nose into the ruff of orange fur around Jimmy's neck. "But my little sweetums Jimmikins is just a puppy-wuppy. He can never speak." At the work "speak" Jimmy jumped down and sat up and barked three times. For she had taught him to speak that way. Of course, Mother had a treat for him in her sweater pocket.I guess I thought rather petty thoughts whenever the topic of Jimmy came up. My husband even laughingly calls it sibling rivalry.I wondered why Mother didn't answer the phone. Jimmy kept barking and barking. Surely she heard him, even though she might have missed the two rings of the phone.Then a chilling thought struck me something might be wrong with mother. I hung the phone up and pulled out the phone book, quickly looking up the number of Mother's friend and neighbor. I asked her to check on Mother.Then I tried to call Mother back, but the phone rang busy. By now I was too scared to care if I was calling the paramedics on a wild goose chase. So I phoned, giving them Mother's address.It seemed like ages, but it was actually only minutes, before Mother's neighbor called me. She had had to get the maintenance man, who had extra keys, to get into Mother's apartment. She found her on the kitchen floor, unconscious. Over the phone I heard Jimmy's excited bark. Then, strange voices. "The paramedics are here," she told me. "They're bringing her around now."Mother had had a heart attack, which could well have been fatal, had it not been for Jimmy's barking alerting me. Mother had heard the phone ring, she said later, but as she rose quickly from the breakfast table, it happened. If the phone had simply rung unanswered, I would have assumed that she had taken Jimmy for a walk or gone shopping. So in a roundabout way, that puppy not quite a year old, saved my mother's life.I kept Jimmy until Mother came home from the hospital. I too grew to love that orange, fluffy ball of sunshine, with his bright eyes, dainty legs, and plume of a tail curled saucily over his back. I'll never complain again when I call Mother and hear instead Jimmy's high, excited bark.As for my prejudice against small dogs, I've learned the size of the body doesn't count. It'scontinued on pg. 26.Ithough the following is labelled as fiction, the uthor tells us it is based on a true situation 'hich occurred many years ago. Editor.I heard the buzz of the bell in the receiver as I stened for my mother's voice. Then a clump nd the high, yippy bark of Jimmy, my mother's omeranian. I made a grimace that darned ttle nuisance Mother though it too cute for ords, this recent trick of his, reaching the hone before her and knocking it off its cradle to ark into it.My mother was only sixty-two but sometimes I wondered if senility weren't setting in. Dad died ver two years ago, and about ten months ago he sold the house and moved into a ondominium which allows one pet, up to ifteen pounds. So it's full of retirees and their ats, birds, and small dogs. Mother, who ouldn't stand toy dogs any more than I, went rut and got herself a three-month-old omeranian. I realized that when one lives .lone, it's good to have a pet, but a lively, louncing ball of fluff He was more trouble that ie was worth, as far as I could see.In no time at all, it was Jimmy this and Jimmy hat. She seemed convinced that Jimmy was the martest puppy in the world. Even when I told ler of her own grandchildren's accomplish- nents, she would top my story with one about immy. Such as thinking one of her nylons was a nake and trying to kill it.About three weeks ago, Jimmy progressed rom barking whenever the phone rang to mocking the phone over and barking into the nouthpiece. My mother would answer chuckling ind say, "Tell Jimmy hello, dear. Co on it neans so much to Jimmy Boy."Feeling like an idiot, I'd say, "Hello, Jimmy, hat's a good boy." He'd bark back and I could lear mother's laughter in the background. inally, this little game over, l could speak to my nother.Well, this day I was fed up. Jimmy kept on larking and barking. I wondered if Mother were Jressing, and why she didn't come to the phone, told Jimmy, "Jimmy, get Mama. Co get Mama."I blush to say she talked to him like that, with jaby talk. Mother, who had never used baby talk vith me, her only child. When 1 accosted her vith that fact, she said blandly, "Of course not, fear, because you were expected to learn to1POMERANIAN REVIEWValcopy - Wakhangp i.11t.4'''111 l ]S.

One of her dreams was to breed a Best in Show winner. In August of this year she watched her husband Owen pilot their girl Ch. Hildonies Moon Shadow to her first Best in Show. A dream come true.Sometimes I look at this "game" of dog shows and Poms in particular, and look at the toll it takes. How few long time Pom breeders there are how many people just quit can't go on. As my husband and I fight to save a tough little puppy for one more hour one more day, we wonder, is it all worth it As my friend Eleanor Miller always says to me when I'm down, "You could always collect stamps." She's right. And then we look at two pedigrees, or at a pretty puppy growing up or at that final winners ribbon and we go on. It's the little things. Hold out.

It is foolish to place a toy in such danger at a crowded show. Carry him to the ring and put him down just outside the gate. Both of you will be in better shape when you enter the ring. Before you go into the ring for stays, notice the dogs on both sides of your toy. Do not leave him between lunging, growling beasts. Most judges are sensible and will help you. If the judge will not, accept the fact that you would rather have a healthy dog than one more leg and show another day. Protect your dog and his showmanship. A Pom is a wonderfully happy worker keep him safe and happy and he will turn in high scores for you for years.Now please, do not be frightened, only cautious. In the twenty years that I have been attending dog shows, I have only seen one dog bitten, although I have been at shows where bad incidents took place, I have never been present.I have never had a dog of mine injured. I have avoided some aisles crowded with growling dogs, however. I have also requested and been granted different places in obedience classes. There are unavoidable accidents in dog shows just as there are on the highways, but caution and forethought can eliminate most of them. Be very careful both places and have man^happy years showing.There are many people who have happily shown Poms in obedience for many years. 1 have asked them to relate some of their experiences with showing Poms in obedience. When such frightening things as dogs and people being injured or worse occur, I remember them and continue. To my delight, none of the people with whom I spoke had ever had an accident in obedience involving one of their dogs, but the same thread of caution runs through all of their letters. I would like to share some of theirALONGMYWAYby Molly Miller P.O. Box 717 League City, TX 775733- As a result of the recent visibility of our ameranians in obedience, more new owners are iking their Poms to obedience classes and trials, nis is excellent and it pleases me very much owever, 1 do want to warn those of you who ave not before had tiny dogs in obedience to be areful. There are dangers for toy dogs in both onformation and obedience that are not present r other dogs. Hopefully no dog is bitten at a tow, but if a large dog is bitten, he may need [itches if a toy is bitten, he is seriously injured nd may be dead.Perhaps the last few months have been nusually violent, or perhaps my grapevine has een unusually active, but I have been -ightened. The period began with my hearing of toy dog's being killed during the long stand in ne utility ring of an eastern state. This shocked ne because I had always thought of utility dogs s being well trained and safe. A friend showing . dobe bitch in open had the bitch bitten at two lifferent shows. Once she went into the open ing with blood oozing from puncture wounds, he same bite on a Pom would have caused erious injury or death. Two weeks ago my ibedience trainer was bitten in the face by a dog hat she was "evaluating" for possible lessons, ihe is facing plastic surgery. Just last week at a Houston obedience training class a Dane jrabbed a toy poodle that was working near it ind bit the poodle's leg offI am not recounting these things to frighten 3om trainers just to remind them to be autious. Caution and forethought are the toy Jog handler's best protection. Few handlers can eact faster than a dog can grab so the toy tandler must keep his dog out of "grab" distance. Many obedience dogs are single dogs. They really do not understand other dogs for they are not allowed to associate with them. Dogs who live and associate with a variety of types of dogs are much more reliable. Make it your business to know what is around your dog. Handle defensively. Many obedience peoplecomments with you.Amber Odor Usually every one at a dog show has his dog on a leash. However, that leash is 6 feet long, with a dog at one end and the owner at the other. The owner is sometimes not paying attention to what his dog is doing and a big dog could lunge toward a smaller dog. Each and every owner should be observant, cautious and attentive to his own dog and of all other dogs. Therefore, as the owner of a small dog, it would be safest to carry your dog."Another thought comes to mind in regard to obedience work and it is this If your dog is ever spooked by a big dog, you really have to work twice as hard to get your dog to feel comfortable2POMERANIAN REVIEW vvTynan Pomeranians j'timA-K dt ,r .

I realize just one little playful blow from friendly big dog can knock an eye out of my99I Remember When...aI have never had a badby Dorothy BonnerDuring the 50s and 60s, my life was closely entwined with the Schoenbergs' and their Aristic Poms. I was Gladys' Fan Club and Admiration Society and felt responsible for her welfare, especially when Isadore was away. Alone, she was in the habit of giving her Poms treats around midnight, which entailed atrip down the stairs to the basement. One night, Isadore returned late to find Gladys lying on the floor of the kennel where she had fallen earlier. The Poms were milling around her, licking her hands and face in consternation, unable to see why she could not rise. Fortunately, no bones were broken and cuts and bruises healed in the hospital. Another time, the maid called that Gladys had just had an accident. As we lived in town then, the ten minute trip was fast. Gladys was sitting in a chair calmly bringing a long cut together with adhesive tape while the maid and kennel man fluttered around helplessly. The doctor said that Gladys was almost as good as he was at reconstructive surgery.There are many Pom stories to be told of happenings at the Schoenbergs, one of which concerns a little male Pom whose call name was Billy. Fie was bought by Gladys after he went Reserve Winners at the Chicago International. Although shedding coat, he was an extremely blocky, short, stylish little fellow, very sound, but slightly coarse in the head. He was reported to need only 1 point, so Gladys bragged that he would regain coat in her kennel and finish quickly. At his new home, Billy was put on a special diet and used confidently at stud, but instead of increasing, more coat was lost until his rear was dark and hairless including the tail. For a year, every effort was made until a fuzzy, baby-like growth appeared. Then opportunity for hope of finishing him came with a Brownsville premium list, a show in the Rio Grande Valley on the Mexican border too remote for professional handlers and top competition. Local Pom breeders agreed to hold their entries and Gladys added the worst puppy that could be found to insure that one point for Billy, which he won. Jubilantly we waited for AKC confirmation, and waited and waited. Cladys finally called and the AKC looked up Billy's record. He had needed not one point, but two. The Brownsville Kennel Club folded and Gladys gave up. I have even forgotten what happened to Billy.In my 25 years of this sport I3V"Iam like an old mother hen concerning the afety of my dog. I would warn toy handlers to e ever vigilant and NEVER lead their dogs on a rowded floor at a dog show, or in the training iuilding.This thought reminds me that I refuse to larticipate in group heeling obedience classes.

I know it may be too early to start advertising, but here in Oregon we're excited and it shows at our meetings as we prepare to make this a show for each and every one of you to enjoy.Our Summer Specialty has come and gone and I was so sorry to miss my first and only so far Specialty, however my Misty chose that early morning to present us with two lovely boys. The boys are now at this writing four months old and in training for the ring. My congratulations to three of my fellow members, Erin Hundley, Jean Schroll and Victor Feist, on their respective wins.The summer was a very busy one for me. My goal was to attend every show within a six hour driving distance. Since 1 am relatively new to the show ring, I was pleasantly surprised to find Oregon and Washington have many all-breed shows in which to campaign our dogs. I had visions of having to fly all over in order to accumulate enough points to finish my dog before he became too old I hate to fly. I think all the Club members took the summer off as my daughter and I seemed to be the only ones showing after our Specialty. So this really is not a reporter boasting Up until August, Bi-Mar Bit of Tassajara had three points, which he acquired the early part of winter before he blew his coat. While he was out of coat we were still on the road getting this ownerhandlernovice used to the ring the dog knew what he was supposed to do. Once the coat came back in somewhat, he was off and running. On Aug. 4 in Seattle, WA he was WD, BOW, BOB and Group 3.

We are having a Futurity. Folks told us we couldn't do it with Toys. We don't like hearing we can't do something we'll find a wav. As I said, it starts in January 1986 and will go till September 1987. There will be classes for junior, intermediate and senior Poms. Judging will be by a panel of three. We expect a good entry. As this is a breeder's stake, the more entries, the more money is taken home by the winner. We'd like that to be bushels full of green negotiablesNot only is Westminster around the corner but so is the Specialty. Loads of us are planning to go. Of course, whelping and puppies may limit some of us. Not everyone can win but we can have a good time and see lots of good Poms. Remember, the obedience demonstration will be held between Sweepstakes and Regular classes. Come see what it is all aboutekend for WD, BOW, another 3 points to be lowed three days later in Rosebury with a very pressive 5 points. After all that I have decided needs a well deserved rest. There are beautiful ppies coming up and one that really caught f eye is Irene Harbin's new boy. Irene, he is rgeous Laura Untalan has been doing well th her Que Sera Victoria. This lovely 2 year old is purchased from Erin Hundley early this mmer. She had never been in the ring before d on the second day in Rosebury, Laura put 4 'ints on her. A couple of weeks later in ashington she added another point. Both wins re under the same judge. This is one judge 10 is consistent.On October 27, in a Mall here, we held a B atch.

Sherry and Earl are serious parti breeders and now have another parti in the ring, a young male named Lucky who is doing well. On October 20 Lucky went Reserve under judge N. Ito.Sherry and Pee Wee are pictured in the October issue of the Review and I was struck by the similarily between Pee Wee and the parti I have been showing, Lady Di's Parti Panda Bear. Panda is the cooperative effort of an over 2 year breeding program. Sherry and I agree that both Pee Wee and Panda are distinct improvements in parti breeding, but are not yet what we are breeding for. It isn't easy Flowever, we believe producing show quality partis can be done and with Pee Wee, Lucky and Panda we've come a big step forward. Our thanks to those judges who have and will give our efforts consideration in the ring. In addition to those mentioned above is Dr. William E. Field Jr. who gave Panda the nod at the Peninsula Dog Fanciers Club Show in Bremerton, WA on September 22. Dr. Field has been a Pom breeder for over 20 years. He went over each Pom giving careful consideration to each. I truly admire a judge who has the fairness and courage to place a Pom of unusual color, be it mine or someone elses, as it tells me that judge knows the breed, is fair and has an appreciation for the years of effort that goes into this type of breeding program.Both Sherry and I have experienced the frustration of being totally ignored in the ring. We are both sticklers for good sound legs and movement and it's a shame to lose to a Pom of a more traditional color who can barely walk. Thank you again to those judges who will give us a chance.Sherry has several new litters now and is moving ahead with her breeding program. I have a litter due this month. Expect to see us out there plugging away with our partis and expect them to be better and better.Nancy Turner brought Ch.

Not all advanced dogs can pe with the amount of repetition I describe. ase use your own discretion.catch his eye in any situation at this distance.The other major running exercise is the "go-out" part of the Directed Jumping exercise. Sending any Border Collie to the ring gate for a food treat in practice is great because he can cue in on it he sees it at the forty foot distance. Lie down flat, hold your eyes level with your Pom's eyes. How much of the ring gate can YOU see If any, it is very distorted and easily confused with the background. What I propose is to teach your Pom the method of "marking" the food at the gate, but you must then go a step or two further. Teach him that when the gate is out of sight, he must trust that you are sending him in the right direction, which is straight out. He must not curve because his treat is in a straight line on the center of the gate. With enough repetition and immediate correction for any veering away from your imaginary line, he will soon trust you. He must not be allowed to "track" his way out there. Building distance gradually and making him hurry will keep him from sniffing. "Marking" is training the dog to look where you point.Use the same straight line techniques for scent articles, gloves and the dumbell. Place the pile of scent articles about thirty-five feet away. Work up distance over a period of time. The dog must concentrate on going in a straight line away, pick out the correct article, and since you are so far away he will gallop back. I use two or three sets of articles in practice, building up numbers gradually, so that only eight at the show will be a cinchCloves are taught in AKC fashion including the turn. First each of them near, visible and propped up for easy pick up. This is just to teach the basic exercise. Eventually backtrack using only one glove, visible at first and at a long distance of thirty or thirty-five feet. After several repetitions begin to leave less and less of it showing. The blind retrieve training is complete when the Pom runs in a straight line to a glove he cannot see and picks it up out of a hole in which it is hidden. Then add the second glove 180 in the other direction. For many weeks use two gloves buried in the grass. They are visible only when the Pom is on them or near them. Alternate turning to each one so that he must utilize the marking procedure. The third glove is added only after two are perfected. The only time he doescontinued on p. 44.Jr AThe thirty-five foot Novice recall to the rman Shepherd Dog is about three gallops for m to reach his handler. To the Pomeranian, it like half a mile. A forty foot "go-out", twenty et to the scent articles, and the distance to the oves from the center point of the ring are all aggerated to the toy dog. When you add to at the stress of travelling to the show, the mdler's nervousness creeping down the leash, range jumps and grounds a little guy can easily overwhelmed. Since he is short and cannot e great distances ahead from the ground in ael position, he must be prepared for many ind retrieves. If he will be shown outdoors he ust be prepared to work in grass that will tickle is nose and sometimes hit him in the face. He seds to be able to recover mentally from falling ito a hole in the ground one that the German hepherd would only view as a slight dip.I believe to get the most from your omeranian, you must over-prepare him. Let us rst look at the runningjumping exercises. In te novice recall, prepare your little guy to do as tuch as ninety to one hundred foot recalls. It ill strengthen his stay and make him move aster to get to you. No dog will poke getting ack to his handler at that distance especially iot a little one. This will also strengthen his oncentration.

That's ause down deep you know you and your dog do it.There will be exercises you don't practice as ch as others because you don't enjoy doingWhat Is A CDXby Mary VickersWhen passing through the obedience area at a show, your interest may be captured by the Open ring. It is easy to find. There are two white jumps in it. One is solid wood and anywhere from 8 to 36 inches high. The other is hurdles or the broad jump. Depending on the breed of dog, this jump may be one hurdle of 8 inches or be telescoped out to four hurdles stretching to cover a distance of 6 feet. If you sit ringside, beware of flying dumbells. This is where it is happening.After a dog has received his CD title, he is eligible for his CDX the Companion Dog Excellent degree. Although most owners want their dogs to be able to do the work in novice, many owners do not have the time nor patience to train for Open work. Most dogs can do Novice work but many others cannot compete in Open.All work is done off-lead, as the leash is removed as the dog enters the ring and is placed on the judge's table. The dog is then measured to determine the jump heights.The Heel Free exercise is first in Open. As in Novice, the dog must heel or walk immediately next to his handler's left leg, sitting automatically when stopped. The pattern, predetermined by the judge, must be followed by all. Points are deducted for errors such as the dog forging ahead, lagging behind or sitting crooked. There is a figure eight, change of pace slow and fast, left, right and about turns. Remember, all this is done without the lead.The next exercise is the Drop on Recall. The dogs should remain sitting at one end of the ring while his handler goes to the far side. Upon the judge's order, the handier calls the dog. The dog must come on the first command and at a place designated by the judge, the handler commands or signals his dog to drop. The dog must remain in this position until called or signalled to come to his owner. All this must be done promptly. A dog can get a zero if he anticipates anym.There will be days when you wonder if your really has room for dog training.Ve know. We have been students much ger than we have been instructors.

Dumbells, depsite their looks, are ial. They must be approved by the judge. Je of solid wood, they can be painted white, ted with a clear finish or left unfinished. The is in proportion to the dog. Many are custom d. For the Retrieve on the Flat, the dog is ng in the heel position, given a stay inland, while the handler throws the dumbell more than 20 feet. On command, the dog t go out at a fast trot or gallop, pick up the nbell without playing with it and quickly irn it to his handler. He must then give up the nbell on command and return to heel ition. There are many areas where the dog y lose points. He will be scored a zero if he S not go after the dumbell, if he goes before ered, or if he does not return close enough to ender it to his owner.he dumbell is retained by the handler as it is d in the Retrieve over the high jump. This rcise is similar to the flat retrieve but here the must jump over and clear a solid jump that is times his shoulder height. He might get a o if he does not retrieve the dumbell, does not over the jump, climbs the jump or uses it as aid in going over.'he Broad Jump is the final individual Open rcise. The handler leaves his dog sitting at st 8 feet away from this jump. He leaves the I and positions himself nearly 2 feet away m the side of one of the hurdles. On nmand the dog must clear the entire distance the broad jump and without a further nmand return to a sitting position immed- aly in front of his handler. While the dog was mid-air, the handler changed his position by icuting a right angle turn. A zero may be tained if the dog refused to jump, walked on through the jump, or hit the jump with his nt legs.t's not over yet. The group exercises the 3 nute sit and 5 minute down remain. Although marily the same as in novice, the difference is the length of time and also that the Stays are ne with the handlers completely out of the ht of their dogs.Every exercise is assigned a specific number of lints. A perfect score would be 200. To qualify earn a leg, the dog and handler must earn a tal of 170 points and more than 50 of the ailable points in each exercise. If the dog fails y exercise, he cannot earn a leg or a qualifying ore that day.Big Obedience, from p. 40.just one is at a show. For proofing, leave the two wrong ones in sight and out of the path of the right one.In dumbell training, try to throw the dumbell to the same spot each and every time except when proofing. When proofing, throw the first straight out, the second to the far left, then to the far right, then straight out farther than usual, then another normal one to finish. This seems to teach a pattern for looking for a hidden dumbell. This procedure is also taught for proofing the high jump retrieve, but only after perfecting the flat retrieve.When practicing Utility, set the jumps up not at the regulation twenty feet apart, but about forty feet. Then make the Pom do one hundred foot go-outs. At this distance the little one really has to search out the jumps he is supposed to jump on his way back in. This exaggeration and distortion strengthens his attention to the hand signal. I may do as many as fifteen of these in a daily session. Not all dogs can take this much. Be careful not to bore your dog or tire him if he is not in condition."Big Obedience" is very demanding. It is physically and mentally taxing on the little Pom. What do I suggest to make him keep working so hard for you Road work, lots of praise and love, threat of more repetition if it's not perfect, and a bag of Ken-L-Ration semi-moist treats Once "Big Obedience" can be done by you and your dog by the AKC rules and meets your personal standard [a 170 or a 200 score then the show ring should seem easier and be a success.POMERANIAN REVIEWJan Le and RolainIntroduce our newest star"f.1s- -V \1iliC. f, rest of \n\nnersjI SPEOftOV4iCan.

My dog moves and sometimes I lose its for handler errors. Can you help me ighten this out and get the "free" 30 points wer Ah, the stand for examination. It ainly should be a "free" 30 points so let's see e can straighten out some of your problems, hen teaching this exercise, you must be i, but patient. Many dogs' personalities don't f themselves either to standing still or laining there as a stranger approaches. If the has early difficulties, don't lose your temper h him lest you set yourself back considerably our training. Corrections will be necessary, verbally or by a quick snap of the leash or a on his cheek or shoulder, followed by lacing whatever part of him moved. This is to him know that "stay" was a command and not uestion. But many sensitive dogs, if they feel ,t corrections are coming from a growing ling of impatience or of temper on your part,I just fall to pieces. And the process of aining their trust will be a long one.Enthusiasm and praise are also important for older dogs. It will give them a good attitude vard the exercise, and keep them from coming disgusted with the whole process, member, Novice isn't the only class with a ind, and the one in Utility is much longer. So rk on keeping a good attitude on the stand ht from the beginning.Before you start showing your dog, teach him allow you to position him in a comfortable tnd. Some dogs will stay more reliably if they walk into it themselves, but most need casional, if not regular, repositioning of at ast one leg. The safest stance for the stand is a iuare stance, both front legs coming straight jwn from the shoulder to the floor, toes lined 3 with each other, hind legs straight behind the ont ones and in line with each other not too r under the dog, nor too far behind him. The ont legs are generally more critical than the ack. If the back ones are close to square and are ot too close together or too stretched, you're sually safe there. They need to be solidly placedunder him so that if the judge presses down on the dog's back, he won't have to move to keep from falling over or losing his balance. You want to be able to adjust your dog's position quickly and smoothly. When moving a front leg, pick it up by the elbow, not by the foot or lower part of the leg. That makes them move as soon as you let go of the leg. If you want to move the left front leg, grasp the ruff under the dog's cheek with your right hand and shift his weight onto his right leg, reach over his back with your left hand, grasping his elbow and lift the leg, placing it toes first where you want it, then shift the dog's weight onto it with your other hand. For the right leg simply reverse the procedure and do the same thing. Hind legs should be lifted by the hock. Hold him under the chin or by the collar as you do it unless he's too big to reach. As you practice positioning your dog you will find yourself doing it faster and more smoothly and the dog will accept it without fidgeting.When you are in a show the stand will follow the figure 8 exercise. The judge, or more likely a steward, will take your leash, and the judge will instruct to "stand your dog and leave when ready." The rules allow you a "reasonable" length of time to stand your dog. Here's where your pre-show practice is to your advantage. You won't get extra points for being able to stand your dog quickly and efficiently but it will greatly enhance the look of your overall performance, and your confident handling of the dog will make him feel more secure in the ring.You may give the dog a verbal command and a signal to stand, as you stand him, but don't tell him to stay until you are ready to leave him. Once he is standing, check to see if he is in a comfortable stance, and if not, hand pose any leg that is awkward. Then, when you are ready to leave, stand next to him in heel position your left leg next to his shoulder, make sure you're not touching him, and tell him to stay and walk straight away from him. You may also give a stay signal. When you are six feet from the dog, turn and face him.By following this procedure you have already avoided a number of handler errors.

There are judges that never see a 200 performance in their lifetimes. Some people train for it some people just dream.Georgian's Betty UDT 1940s This Pom has been immortalized as it was the first Toy dog to win all obedience titles. This was at the time when, before the UD title could be used, the dog must pass a tracking test. When obedience first began the AKC issued Regulations in 1936, the novice class was worth 100 points, Open 250 points and utility 200 points. Agnes Niven and her Pom scored many perfect points including at least one 200 from utility. As obedience was just becoming known, many exhibitions and demonstrations were given. Mrs. Niven and her Pom participated in several, notably the Westminster Kennel Club demonstration in 1947 and again in 1949. Dawson's Petite Musetta UD 1958 Bertha Dawson has many memories of her Musetta. Her first CD leg was a 199.5. While attempting her UD, her first two legs were good for High in Trial. The second leg was the 200. She finished her title at the next show.

"Billie" Lambert easily holds the record for the most outstanding obedience Poms. The Rickett book on Poms tells the story of her first obedience Pom, Timmy. Billie began training him using Blanche Saunder's book as a guide. As the Lamberts were in Alaska at the time, shows were difficult to come by Alaska only had one show a year. When the show came, she entered him in Novice A. Timmy won it with a 200 under none other than Blanche Saunders When transferred back to the states, Timmy went on to receive his CDX and UD titles. Meanwhile Nino was purchased and trained through utility as a puppy. His 200 occurred on the third leg of his CDX. His championship was finished at the APC Specialty in February 1961, where be went BOW. He then went on to finish his UD. Two more Poms were acquired, Stardust, a female, and Buddy. There were shown at the same time in the same classes. In September 1961, Billie accomplished the incredible feat of winning Open B with the two tied for first with perfect 200 scores Buddy finished his UD and was sold to a lady in South America. Stardust finished her CDX and her championship, but Billie would not show her. in utility. In fact, she never again showed another Pom. Billie was one of th.e leaders to lower the jump height, which was then 12 inches minimum. Since Pekes jump the minimum height of 8 inches, she bought a Peke and put a record on him that has yet to be broken. The Pekingese obtained his CD, CDX and UD in 9 straight trials, with 5 hits at the age of 10 months"How should one recover from the endless pretence, hypocrisy, falsity, deceit and malice of our fellow man if dogs did not exist, into whose honest faces one can gaze without mistrust or misgivings" Arthur Schopenhauer, German Philosopher0.ah's Abra Ka Dabra CD 3-2-85 Diane uman wanted a dog smaller than a GoldenIPOMERANIAN REVIEWJiarbiris cTomeraniansThe Proof is in the Producing and Ch.

She replied, "Of course, and it must also be a Tuesday at 1030 a.m." We both had a good laugh. It implies that dogs have less intelligence, less flexibility, less individuality than we know they have.I got Pooh Bear when he was three years old. We weren't total strangers, however. I had bred the dog and had him until he was 2 months old. I also handled him to his championship. When I got him, I wondered how he would adapt to our household. In the previous years he had lived in an apartment where he was the only dog, but there were several kitties and a sulfur-crested cockatoo. There were no children. Now he would have to live in a home with three kids, 9 other dogs, and lots of noise and confusion. No problem. This bouncing, loving little fellow fit right in and happily embarked on his obedience career. He finished his titles with class placements and firsts, and various High Pom, High Toy, and High Champion awards. He is not one of the top scorers in obedience, but then he doesn't have the handler he deserves either.Gabby Fabian tells of her beloved Poodle who was both a Ch. and OTCh. She was a top competitor. And Gabby had gotten her out of a kennel when she was three years old. Joan Thurlow recently finished Border Collie Coal's CDX with scores like 198.5, and 199, and HITs. Coal is 4 years old. Herusha Gurvin's "old brood bitch" Grace has been getting scores in the high 190's. The dog I brag about in this month's ad was AVi years old when she finished the title. And Diane Bauman's super working Abra was a rescue dogOkay, if the age of the puppy isn't that critical, what should we look for in an obedience prospect First, a Pomeranian is an excellent choice. Over the past couple of years I've talked to numerous obedience exhibitors who say they've been considering getting a Pom, although their previous success was with Labs, Border Collies, Shelties, Border Terriers, or Golden Retrievers. Why They've seen our little guys work in the ring and noted their enthusiasm, precision, and eagerness to please. They also like the idea of something small enough to pick up and easy to care for. One gal has teased me unmercifully about the size of my dumbells. "If you've got another one, I can make a pair of earrings." But she is on the waiting list for a puppy.Look for obedience titles in the pedigree. Intelligence and trainability are inherited. But these titles also point to a breeder who has someHELPFUL HINTSby Margaret R. McKee 7660 Idlewyld Road Richmond, VA 23225ne concept that many obedience trainers sider sacred is that a puppy meant to be an dience competition dog must be acquired at eeks of age not 7V4 weeks, and not, Cod id at 10 weeks I've been contacted by ners looking for an obedience prospect puppy when they find out the puppy is older than magic 7 weeks, they seek elsewhere, yhy Studies of puppies indicate that the in is fully formed and the puppy is ready to in learning at 7 weeks old. From 8 to 12 weeks age, he is in the fear imprint state, during ch a trauma can cause serious and permanent aage to the temperament. Can you cessfully obedience train a dog starting so ing Absolutely I've been watching a friend I her precious Sheltie. "Say" was bought at 7 ks after temperament testing the litter, ining was begun immediately at home and dog was entered in the KPT class. Now at six nths old, he is doing all of the novice work lutifully, is retrieving, doing go-outs, is almost feet on the scent articles, and has begun iping. Certainly beginning training a puppy at eeks can be very successful, lut is it necessary If you are a breeder, you y be very reluctant to let one of your adorable pies go so young. I don't even wean mine il they are 6 or 7 weeks of age. I like to iluate size and conformation around 8 to 10 sks. Testicles may not be securely down until r 4 months. If the puppy shows promise as a iw dog, a breeder may want to watch its elopment past the 6 month mark. Those who w in conformation have no magic age at ich we must acquire that show prospect. Yet ' dogs must also learn and perform, f a puppy is older than seven weeks, is it too for it to have an obedience career My jerience and observations say no.

Once more, a big Thank You to a wonderful breeder, Dr. Morris Carson, from an admirer ofbeautiful Poms,Dorathy Barnes and all the Dan-D PomsPOMERANIAN REVIEWto drive my husband on several errands. I threw the dog and jumps into the car. Pooh Bear jumped in 5 different places in the metropolitan area. Make your jumps different looking. Sometimes I set mine up with the support on only one side. Tie balloons or surveyors tape to them. Put another dog on a sit-stay next to the jump. Set your jumps up at odd angles to each other.At a recent trial the judge commented to me that my dog had actually done a blind retrieve in the retrieve-on-the-flat because my dumbbell is so small and was thrown into the sun. No problem though, because we proofed for blind retrieves. The dumbbell has been thrown into tall grass, piles of leaves, off-center, from shade into sun. The Poms are taught that they must not come back without it. AKC regs. require that the grass be cut short, but it frequently isn't.The ways you need to proof in utility are too numerous to mention them all here. On signals, have someone stand as if in another ring and give arm signals, and make sure your dog ignores them and watches you. Thoughtless stewards have been known to wave their arms. Set the scent articles very far apart or all in a row. Practice go-outs toward baby gates, a stake with surveyors tape, a blank wall. I once saw a ring where go-outs were toward a floor length window with the drapes not completely closed. Ugh It's hard for me to believe anyone would enter a trial without practicing off-center jumps for the directed jumping. Set the dog up in the left corner, send him to the jump on the right. I proofed Tiara so much for this that if I set her up on the left and sent for for the jump on the left, she would hesitate and look at me as if to say, "are you sure you got that right"Matches are an invaluable way to proof your dog, preferably fun matches where corrections are permitted. We have a "rule" in our club that you don't enter a trial until you have three qualifying scores at matches. This is a minimum. At the utility level you'll want as much match experience as possible.If you are strictly a conformation exhibitor and I haven't lost your attention already, you may be thinking, "This doesn't apply to me." Well, proofing is valuable for our conformation puff balls, too. The dog who isn't perturbed by rain, a judge in a big hat, sunglasses, and clunky jewelry, or the Bouvier fight in the next fing and continues to strut his stuff has a big edge over his less secure competition. So whether you're headed for the obedience ring or thecontinued on p. 72.lerstanding and appreciation of obedience, uire about how much socializing the puppy . This is vital. Were there children in the ne or neighborhood to play with the puppy s the puppy handled a lot Did the puppy play h other puppies, with adult dogs Has he been ght something to tolerate grooming, to p his cage clean, to walk on lead, to sit Has been visiting to other breeders' homes, to park, to handling class, to puppy obedience s, to matches Does he know how to ride etly in a crate Does he know what an rcise pen is for Will he accept food from ir hand A conscientious breeder will try to do this for hisher puppies, it any level of obedience training, it is rortant to PROOF the dog. Proofing means cticing in unusual places or in different ways, neans getting the dog so used to doing an rcise in spite of all manner of distractions that unexpected occurance inside or outside the probably won't disturb the dog. The trainer st be creative and make extra effort in order properly proof the dog. Seek out lots of erent locations to train. Train on grass, tting, concrete, bare ground. Train in parks, ygrounds check local ordinances, other ning schools, friends' backyards. Set up rings h baby gates, with surveyors tape which can 5 in the wind, with bare walls. Some Poms are jctant to walk toward a blank wall. Practice in i and in full sun early in the morning and late he afternoon. Use a radio and a pan of food the posts for the figure-eight. I have a friend o took a pair of jeans, stuffed them, added es and made a "post" more realistic than a on. Change your voice to different levels and ches. He should come whether your voice eals your nervousness or not. Of course, once he ring you'll try to be consistent and audible. Set someone else to forcefully give commands f see if your dog anticipates the "come" or lish." Practice calling the dog's name, then some nonsense command such as "bananas" "xerox" He must wait for the real command, t your judge to dress in an outlandish stume. Stays are best proofed in a group. Set the dogs alternating sitting and downed dogs, ey should not take their cues from their ighbor. Even by yourself you can arrange for kinds of noises, equipment falling over, a bitch season nearby.Proofing becomes more important as the edience work become more advanced.

On October 19 at Richmond DTC, which several people call the "indoor Pom and Toy Specialty" there was an entry of ten Poms and 24 Toys. HS Pom went to Mary Vickers and Annon's Huggy Bear of Scamp CDX from the Open A class. Several Poms were entered in the non-regular classes. Margaret's Ch. Val CD was in Graduate Novice and her 11 year old Golden Tiara Dambeastie CDX turned in a very respectable 193.5 in the Veteran's Class. Karen Bohn's Bonnie Brandy Bohn CDX followed behind with a 189. Brace is always fun to watch, but when you have two Pom braces entered you'd better make it a point to watch. Taking third in this class was Janet Davis with Misty and Flashprancer. Karen Bohn's Brandy and Jones Chip of Precious Gems were also enjoyable to watch.Several Poms have recently acquired obedience titles. Diane Bauman's Noah's Abra Ka Dabra now has her CDX. Mary Vickers and Annon's Huggy Bear of Scamp now have that long dreamed-of title of CDX behind Huggs name. Utility training will start soon. Good luck Margaret McKee looked at her Poms and thought, "I have one Pom without any titles in this kennel," so Idlewyld Hope Diamond began showing in Novice at the ripe old age of 4VJ years. Of course she got her three legs in three straight shows, Mount Vernon, Capital and Rock Creek. Tammy Carrell, who owns the OTCh pointed Levi, is finally an APC member. We welcome Tammy to the fold. She is a gorgeous person, a super trainer and is always willing to help or answer questions. Tammy and Levi are back out at the shows and working on more OTCh points. Much luck to them Incidentally, Tammy just bred Levi and has a new prospect to work with by the name of Sparky. She says Sparky is a lot like his dad so the future looks promising. Congratulations and best of continued good luck to all Lilae Shope of Bellefonte, Pa is owned by "Bell," Shope's Cupid Bella Donna CD, who earned the title last year with nothing less than three first places out of Novice A.

Several other clubs or individuals are sponsoring trophies for Poms in obedience.

So, what can we do The answer is to have your club, or yourself, offer trophies for obedience Poms. Surely this will create interest. Surely all Poms do not always qualify, but it is nice to see a trophy for a Pom listed.By the time this edition goes to print we should know something about the results of the voting for the change in jumping height.

Room-foggers such as D-Con Flea Kill, Strike, or Black Flag are a very effective method for removing fleas out of carpets, upholstery and beddings. They are best used every 4-6 weeks in fooms frequently used by the pet. Hard-to-reach areas should be treated with a premise spray prior to fogging. Only use foggers and premise sprays that kill pre-adult and adult fleas.3. Frequent vaccuuming of areas used by the animal is useful, especially prior to fogging. Avoid vaccuuming of whole house for 14 days after fogging to allow insecticide to work. Placing a flea collar in the vaccuum cleaner bag helps reduce infestation.4. If the dog or cat has a bed, either wash the bedding frequently in hot water or substitute newspaper changing frequently for the bedding. The bedding may also be dusted with an insecticide on alternate days or sprayed with a premise spray weekly.5. Do not forget to treat all other dogs and cats in the household. Although they may be showing no signs of distress from fleas, they remain a source of fleas for other animals.John R. August Virginia Tech Blacksburg, VA 24061All of the following recommendations should carried out under the direct supervision of a terinarian, since many insecticides could be dc to small dogs. I have recently been using a w micro-encapsulated pyrethrin flea spray on gs and cats which has been giving excellent ults when applied every 3-4 days. It has the vantages of being slow-release and non-toxic the animal. The product is called Sectrol and nade by the3M Company.RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FLEA CONTROLSince fleas spend a short period of their time on your pet and tend to live in the pet's vironment your house andor yard for the nainder of their existence, proper control of as on both the pet and in its environment are tical.as on your pet.Flea collars. These are of little or no use for gs and cats with significant flea problems. Residual insecticide dips. These are only ailable from veterinarians and should not be ed on cats. Used once weekly, dips are useful flea control. The brand of dip should be anged every 6-9 weeks.Insecticide dusts. Ortho Sevin garden dust 1 for adult dogs, 5 for puppies and cats ay be used alone every other day or in mbination with a dip. Since the dips can only used once weekly and in some dogs are only ective for 4-5 days, the application of a dust 4 d 6 days after a dip helps to control fleas until e next dip.Flea sprays containing pyrethrin may be used often as necessary between insecticidal dips an alternative to dusts.Flea shampoos. These do not control nificant flea problems and should be pplemented with other forms of insecticidal erapy.B. Outdoors.1. Dog pens and lawns may be sprayed with Malathion or Diazinon every 1-2 weeks.2. Dog houses should be sprayed weekly a room fogger can be used for this purpose. One half of a Shell Vapona Peststrip may be nailed to the underside of a dog house to reduce the flea population.3. Dust or spray areas in the yard that the pet prefers to use for sleeping 10 Sevin dust and Malathion or Diazinon sprays are useful for this purpose.Remember effective flea control can only be attained bya.

The essential thing is not to ave conquered but to have fought well." aron DeCoubertin, founder of the modern tlympic Carnes.are always talking in terms of chances or odds. Are any of these statements familiar to you1. The odds that a dog will win back to back best in shows is very low.2. We will probably win the breed today.3. It looks like we may have a seventy percent chance of placing in the group.4. I feel certain that ninety percent of all judges are honest.5. The odds against your picking a winner from ringside in a large class is probably only slightly better than chance.Already we have learned that a top class dog should win 3 out of 5 times. That's 60. Our handlers have also taught us to "keep a book" on the judges. They have detailed records. For example, remember when Judge Postwhistle put Rudolph only third in the working group. Well as it turned out in talking to him later he pointed out that he would like to see more extension in front. This led us to the realization that Rudolph was a bit steep in shoulder which limited his forward reach. Therefore, we tried to find out which judges put great emphasis on that action and if they might penalize our dog as a result. We did find some who were "front fanatics." As a matter of course we did not show under them. It's our feeling we increased Rudolph's winning percentage by 5 points. It's like a baseball manager looking at his statistics in making out his line-up. If Oscar Crackball has hit this lefthander for an average of only 210, he darn well better use Jeff Strongarm who has pounded this guy for a 325 average in his place. If, and it's a big if, winning is everything then that's the way to go.Now, by having lived many summers, I have come to realize that winning doesn't come free it always costs something. For example, by taking this tack I have nagging doubts that my dog can beat all comers under any condition and I find it's not always easy to live with that doubt in my mind. Do I have the best or is it my intent to only win the point races fostered by the dog magazines. Grace and I have rattled that one around aplenty.Grace says it another way. "If you don't compete, you can't lose but you can't win either." As I've said before, smart girl that Grace.In our rambling discussions with other breeders both at club meetings and at shows a"Winning isn't everything it's the only thing. - Vince Lombardi, Coach, Creen Bay Packers."When the one Great Scorer comes to write gainst your name, he marks not that you ave won or lost, but how you played the game." - Crantland Rice, Noted Sports Writer.Flaving been around the dog show game for a ouple of years now, Grace and I are continually truck with the incongruity of it all. We went into howing dogs because we were competitive and rtistic and wanted to have pride in showing a ine dog.We have met many fine people as a result of iur experiences. On the other hand we have also ncountered some difficult people too.After talking about sportsmanship and ethics a reat deal between us we have come to ecognize that the dog show game, like almost .II competitive activities, has people involved hat cover the complete spectrum of human ehavior. People react to wins and losses in entirely different ways. It seems their expecta- ions coming into a show are far different from ne another as well.For example, how many times have you heard i group of exhibitors predicting that Ch. Vhooziz has this show cold and the rest of us oor "suckers" don't stand a chance. This, like he tale that Joe Czperwicz, that noted handler f the Outer Mongolian Terrier, has this one vired because the judges leaned his way in the ast show. These and other fairy tales are useful o set up alibis in advance so our losses won't eem so bitter. Unfortunately, it also sets up a osing attitude and one that fairly screams, 'Foul, I only lost because the other guy wasn't slaying fair."Frankly, the way we see it is that in winning ind losing, we have no certainty. Whenever we nter a show, there is a chance we will win there is also a chance that we will lose.

For example, this simple truism in order r there to be a winner, there must be a loser. Certainly it is apparent that in any breed there in only be a winners dog and bitch plus a best breed or variety and best of opposite sex. This aves many others to ponder why the fates did 3t choose them. A certain percentage of losers ill ascribe their loss to every conceivable ason but the fact they may have been beaten t a better dog on this day.For some unfortunate people learning how to se always aludes them. It is as important as arning how to win. It's the other side of thebut rather, by denegrading thosedogsbelonging to others. Everyone, at one time or another, has been guilty of this to some degree. It might have been due to a slip of the tongue or, in other cases quite deliberately intended. It is usually those on the threshold of success, perhaps who have bred a champion or two, who are the worst offenders. They are striving so desperately to attain their goals that they not only give little heed to the consideration of others but deliberately attempt to undermine the accomplishments of others.The point should be made that this type of behavior is not solely confined to those engaged in dog activities. It is evidenced even more clearly in the business world by price cutting, false advertising and numerous practices engaged in that are frowned on by the Better Business Bureaus.3in.Let's be honest, no loser can be termed lappy" by any stretch of the imagination. Turn i the person standing next to you and remark 30ut the poor job of judging and chances are lat another soulmate will be found. What's hard Dout that However, laud the judge for his iscerning ability in placing the best dogs and ine times out of ten you'll be greeted by cold ares of incredibility, dirty looks, nasty remarks nd what have you. For the majority are, by ecessity, losers and the winners are few.It's hard to be a winner by any standard. To be wrnner is the goal of all and when that goal is ached it often becomes nothing more than a ollow victory. Your dog has won, you're irilled, elated, on "cloud nine" and you want to lout about it from the rooftops and let the 'orld in on your joy. But you don't or you ave learned not to because, let's face it. YOU re happy but most of the other exhibitors are ot To have one's dogs' accomplishments reeted by indifference or snide remarks surely ikes the wind out of one's sails and much that hould be joyous becomes just the opposite. So, fter having come up against the "wet dish rag" 'eatment, the winner keeps his happiness to imself and that's not easy. It really is so much asier to mutter under your breath and grumble ou were robbed or the judge was stupid because he sympathy of the majority is always with the osers.Therefore, to be a winner is not easy no matter iow desirable this position looks from afar. To onsistently come up with winning dogs year ifter year places any breeder in the position of eing a prime target for all the unsuccessful, ealous, petty breeders striving for success.For some reason or another it seems to be a lharacteristic of human nature to elevate ones wn dogs not necessarily by breeding betterOne requisite necessary for success in dogs in a competitive spirit and this is something none of the books seems to mention. Obviously, when competitive spirit meets competitive spirit some sparks are going to fly and there isn't much that can be done to alleviate the situation.In order for any one breeder to attain success, others must by necessity be hurt along the way. This can not be helped for it takes many losers to make a winner. Those on the threshold of success might do well to remember that the time will come, again by necessity, when they must come face to face with some of these same losers on the way back down. For there comes a point in every breeder's endeavors when success can no longer continually top success and then there is only one direction in which to go.Very few, if any, have had the privilege of having their cake and eating it too. That is to say, no one breeder can continually enjoy success removed from the periphery of the disgruntled. Therefore, the time must come when a choice must be made. Some breeders quit. Perhaps they feel, and rightly so, that they have achieved all that can be achieved and are not content to settle for what would seem to them second best. Others go backwards and gradually fade away while others learn to compromise. Those who learn to compromise usually end up as the "old timers." Their accomplishments and abilities are recognized but they no longer hold a monopoly on success. As a result they hold some popularity amongst their fellows, are no longer the prime target for back biting and can enjoy their hobby without regarding each new situation as a personal challenge and no longer need toPOMERANIAN REVIEW4 y\ I333,Sm\wVL '4 vmuMi to.4kAk,A W- .4. .Lenniss Red Denim Levi CJ.D.Although Levi is a very good worker, it's not only precision that makes people applaud his performance.

The aspiring breeder is ntinually striving and it is this very gressiveness which helps achieve success but the same time which calls undesirable itincts into play.It's all very well and good for one to say that cause their dogs are the object of nasty narks proves that they are good dogs. In fact, me people have been known to say they dcome the back biting and innuendos because them that is proof of their dog's worth. People iy say this but deep down they really can't an it as any situation of this type is comfortable and not easy to live with. The sire for recognition is one thing but there is o a desire for acceptance. As a result, ccessful breeders are usually very lonesome ople. For to be up on top in any locale is to be etty much alone. There just isn't room at the p for many. This cannot be recognized by ose aspiring for success. This can only be truly derstood by those who have experienced the ccess with its accompanying drawbacks. For lereas the interpretation of success differs im individual to individual, the resulting periences are usually the same.To be a good winner takes a very thick skin, hen the nasty remarks and innuendos begin to ter through, it's almost humanly impossible to sistthem. Most breeders fight back in one form another for awhile. The ways in which this can done are many it can be done vocally, in s showring, through the printed word, etc. rhaps there is a measure of satisfaction to be ined in attempted retaliation but little or thing is usually accomplished other than rthering an already painful situation. It should it be implied that the only solution would be to Id ones tent and quietly sneak away as ited previously, it takes only a thick skin Just k any breederIf one will but note the point makers, the ers, are always NICE people and their dogs are illy not too bad. Perhaps they are shown iproperly or groomed improperly but other an that receive little or no criticism.

As exhibitors at dog shows, how often has the phrase been heard, "So-and-so" finished yesterday but I thought I'd better show him today just to make sure.With the difficulty exhibitors have in finding points across the nation, the "make sure" dog and his owner andor handler are, of course, most unpopularThe professional handler is, sometimes by necessity, the worst offender in this area. It can be appreciated that, once a handler has contracted to show a dog on a circuit or at a series of shows, he has planned on the income from that dog. Or, he may be truly unaware of the dog's point total. Whatever the cause, this gives rise to the additional and needless showing of an animal who has, in fact, completed his Championship.The individual owner-handlers are not necessarily lily-pure in this respect either. Honest doubt and confusion is one thing but to show a dog known to be finished just because he is entered is another thing.At this point the hue and cry will be raised that if the dog is pulled the points may be lowered. True, this hue and cry will be raised as the result of hindsight if the finished dog should lose and what makes a finished dog look more foolish than losing in Open competition. However, dog show exhibitors, being such wonderful sports that they are, take all of this in stride and rush up to congratulate today's winner even though he finished yesterday Like heck they do They mutter under their breaths and berate the fates to say nothing of the dog and his owner that "robbed" them of a win, as well they might under such a system. The professional handler shrugs it off, it's part of the game for him. One cannot help but wonder at the motivation of the non-professional handler does another trophy and a bright piece of ribbon mean that muchAs long as the soap box is available another closely related activity comes to mind. That is, showing the dog who needs a major or majors in one and two point shows. Why show the dog when it becomes obvious that there is no major This should be clarified by saying, why follow through and show the dog when it becomes obvious that there is no major in either sex A one or two point win certainly does not help a dog who already has sixteen or seventeen points to his credit. However, that one or two point win can and does help a dog not needing majors or the youngster making his debut.I7POMERANIAN REVIEW- Carousel Pomeranianspresents our newest championVr -C'.rI ri ..-a- 7 \0.---------B.i'i' vffiHIC7.

Newalla, OK 74857 AS.E. Oklahoma CityPOMERANIAN REVIEW30an Australian judge of some repute chose another dog for BOB. This dog had been playing second fiddle all year.At the club banquet that night the owners of the best of breed dog were virtually ignored and were very down. Just when they should have been enjoying one of the high points of their dog life they were being put down. The evening turned around when Tammy called for attention and offered a toast to the dog and his owners for their great win. That broke the ice and the rest of the evening went well for all.Here was a perfect example of how it is possible to win and lose at the same time. Turning it around the other way, Jim and Tammy, because of their sporting gesture, became winners in everyone's mind, including the owners of the dog that defeated them in spite of the fact their dog lost. Too many people believe that only winning is positive losing is always negative. Examples like Jim and Tammy's action prove it doesn't have to be so.Another reflection on this winning thing comes to mind. Again remember back when Judge Postwhistle placed Rudolph third in the group. Our sights were set on winning the group and then shooting for Best in Show. The BIS judge had put us up before and we figured we had a fighting chance to go all the way. We were really downcast after the group. Then this young couple came along who were even greener in the dog game than we were and offered effusive congratulations on Rudolph's wonderful win. I guess it's a matter of perspective, what may seem like a win to one person may seem like a loss to someone else. Like they say today "hey man, where are you coming from"Grace and I weathered some real storms in the first years of our marriage which taught us to always look on the bright side of things. We learned real quick that showing dogs was only one facet of our lives. Winning was exhilirating, losing was not. However, we had each other, our work, our nice home and now our dog hobby. In perspective our hobby is fun but will not dominate our total lives. As in dog construction balance is important to a well rounded life. We felt sorry for those people who must try to achieve all their satisfaction in the dog world because they get so little in the "outside" world.We have also become much more sympathetic toward the judges' dilemma. After all, it's not always possible to please everyone. All we can ask is a conscientious job and a knowledge of our standard. And by and large we get it week after continued on p. 100.Owner-handlers surely must have a con- ience let it be their guide With respect i the professional there are more specific oblems that arise. The professional handler antracts to handle a dog at a show or a series of lows and in so doing has perhaps turned down rother. His fee is deserved and so the dog is lown to earn that fee. At this point, lest this tle gem be considered an attack on the ofessional handler, it is not. If there is any tack, it is directed toward a system not the dividual. Indeed, there are some professional andlers more scrupulous about showing a dog ceding but majors in the small shows than some un-professionals. It stands to reason that the ofessional handler is more aware of where the Dints are lacking as the result of their constant eoccupation with dog shows after all, it's leir business.Any system is subject to criticism and it takes d special talent to criticize. Briefly, two specific Dints have been criticized 1 showing dogs in Dint competition when there is awareness on le part of the handler or owner as the case ay be that the dog has already attained fifteen Dints and both majors and 2 showing dogs ho need only their majors in one and two point lowsAs a possible suggestion to remedy the first Dint when a circuit of shows or a related series shows is involved, how about the professional andler charging a flat rate for the circuit or ries. That is to say, should the dog finish before le circuit or series is completed the rate would 5 the same as if the dog were shown in every iow. Exhibitors sending a dog on a circuit or Dntracting for a series of shows surely expect to ay for it. If the dog finishes early he can be jlled and the handler does not lose his iticipated income. Should the handler pick up lother dog at ringside to take the place of the nished dog that fee could be deducted from the nished dog's bill. This would be a display of Dod sportsmanship.It certainly would be helpful if each breeder, vner or handler sincerely put forth the effort to aep track of his dog's accumulated point total i date and act accordingly. This effort would irely strengthen goodwill and help to achieve a lore harmonious relationship among all.Only last month I saw a perfect example of arning how to lose with grace.

She is single and has o dependents Spunky and Sunni. She is a mber of the Obedience Training Club of eater Lansing.lestion How did you get your start in edience, Brendaiswer I got my first Pom, "Stephanie" in ivember 1970 from a local breeder. I was 17 the time. She was the only pup of 6 bitches d and I started obedience training her at 4Vi rnths. The teacher was a friend of my mother's io said Steph was too young, but we wouldn't in the way and would be allowed to join the up. After 10 weeks we graduated with a fun itch. Steph and I won first place Until that ie I had only wanted her to come when called, t after that first victory I was hooked. She went to earn American and Canadian CDs and a ig World Award.Since Stephanie I've trained a Golden triever, a Doberman and a German Shepherd Dne for show. I'm now back to Poms, tbably for goodgot a Dog World Award for her first three Canadian trials with scores of 197.5, 197.5 and 196.5. She died in March of 1982 at 12 years of age.BK's Sir Spunky AmCan UKC CDX has one 200 score with 6 HITs 1 AKC and 5 UKC. He was born May 19, 1982, is still showing and has one UD leg in each registry.BK's Sunshine Supergirl or "Sunni" has one point toward her Canadian championship with a Best of Breed at 8V2 months. She was born January 30, 1985. I just got her this past year after an exhausting search for a conformation obedience bitch. Her breeder is Erika Moreau. Question Why are Spunky and Sunni registered as BK instead of BHAnswer Well, they are my first two initials. I've been "BK" since I was knee high to everyone. Question Since you show in three registries that's quite a few trials. What has been your proudest or most satisfying moment in showingAnswer My proudest moment has to be trying for HIT at Canton, Ohio June 19, 1983. Spunky was 13 months old, got his second leg on his CD with a 198. I forgot until I looked at the trophies that it was my 30th birthday The picture of us with the Goldens says it all We lost the runoff who cared and ended up 3rd HIT.My most satisfying moment bar none was earning the first utility leg in UKC and first time qualifying outside the backyard with a 194.5 on September 22 of this year and our first Canadian utility leg with 196 and third place out of 13 qualifiers October 20 of this year. For me there is no greater thrill than watching my dog "turn it on" in utility. My greatest fear is that he may take a jump wrong and end it all when he is so close.Question Do you have a worst momentAnswer Yes, right here in Lansing in 1983. During our trial, Spunky was in novice. On the stand for examination there was a spot on the mat he just had to take two steps to investigate. Wouldn't you know, that's where he was placed for the long sit and down. He managed to only creep six inches for the sit, but on the down he had slithered about a foot to sniff for an eternity, sIowly stand over the spot, arch his back and carefully let loose with a six inch puddle. I suppose everyone has one of those days, right Question Have you ever considered breeding ycrlIMAp .

Even with a iroughly trained dog there are shakey times, y commentswer I guess for me that would be in open rk. Spunky is my first dog to go on into ranced obedience. I will never forget those t few times when I went in the ring in fun tches. I had never gone into the ring off lead, vays in Novice we'd had to heel on lead before ng forced to give up that lifeline, the leash, very comforting to know that your dog is linded by the lead that you're in there to rk, so no funny stuff After it comes off, of jrse, it's every dog for himself. But at least dng the lead to clench gave your hands nething to do. Now in open you must present o the steward as you enter the ring, would think, "Oh Cod My dog will run out the ring. When we do the about turn at the rance to the ring I know he'll forget to turn d wander out to see if there's a little girl Pom newhere nearby. Great, he stayed with me. w if he doesn't go over the jump, grab the mbell and give it to the judge to play with, 'II have it made. Well, now we've done the nps and all that's left is the long sit and down, ce of cake. I'll turn my back and walk out of ht and he'll probably get up to play with a stball No, he's still sitting. What about that leaning over the gate with a hot dog in her id Five minutes staying down with me out of ht and him staring at a kid with a nice hot dog oo much. He'll never stay. He does I'm going stick gum in that kid's pigtails before norrow's event."Ne were finished with our American CDX and nadian CDX before I think I really began to st that he was trained well enough. 1 don't aw if it was because he was my first advanced g or that he was in open so young he finished 18 months but it sure was a terrifying feeling, rhen when you get to utility, you not only n't have a lead anymore you can't even talk to jr dog The first exercise is Hand Signals only, guess what I'm saying is that every time you er the ring, no matter how well trained your g is, you do not know what is going to happen.IfW iw\\ir wmi_ . . _ .........Spunky receiving 3rd HIT amid a sea of Golden RetrieversIt's all shakey.Question You must spend a lot of time with your Poms. Do you have any hobbies or anything else that you do with your spare timeAnswer I enjoy going to garage sales. My mother and I have found exercise pens, airline crates, Central Metal crates, collars, leads, figurines and even a Pom portrait Recently I found a book called "Spunky."Presently I've been spending a lot of time and money trying to get the APC to lower the jumps. After ten years of wishing the jumps were lower, through the APC it may become a reality. Since we are so close, I'm directing all my energy and cash to see it come true.Question Speaking of wishes and dreams coming true, what are your goals in obedienceAnswer Both my dogs are in training for their American and Canadian Tracking Tests. We're shooting for next spring on the TDs, maybe fall of '86 or spring of '87 for TDX tests. I'm hoping to see Spunky as UDTX and Sunni and AmCan Ch UDTX.Question Brenda, I'm sure everyone wishes you luck and maybe your goal will stimulate others to do the same."The dog is the virtue which could not be turned into a human being.

Our wins are only as good as the quality we win against so don't stack with inferior dogs, even though you do have them registered. Come on exhibitors and be a good sport, for win or lose you will still take home your best friend at the end of the show. That Pom loves you. Do you love him or the win mostI've been putting off writing this for almost aear.I raised Poms for several years and read every sue of Pom Review over and over like the Bible, ecause of personal reasons I quit raising Poms id dropped the Review. Last year I started back lain and naturally sent my order off for the eview.Well, was I ever surprised to see the new eview. It was full of goodies and so large. Then ime the obedience issue, which lead me to try train my first obedience Pom. Then when I lought they couldn't get any better, along came le July issue in full blazing color. WOWI carried that around for weeks showing it to iy other doggie friends.Then I said to myself, they won't ever top that, ow I read in the October issue we are going to maybe 6 issues. I couldn't believe it. We cam uly say we keep up with the time.My hat's off to the Editor. You are doing one ck of a good job. Also the ones before I may it have known about in the last 6 years. Not at the Review wasn't good in past years, it was jt it is truly an informed Review now.Keep up the good work. I'm behind you 100.Phyllis M. AndrewsEd. Note A very timely letter.

I got a card back from Freund Publishing Co. who apparently had taken over Pata. They told me they would let me know when the book was ready for print. Just recently I got a letter stating a new party was taking over since the previous company had gone bankrupt. There is a 3 year old mailing list for this book and many of these people have already paid for their book, but never received them. This debt has to be taken care of first before any copies can be sold to the public. They also want to update the book to 1985, which is four years of newer champions that are needed. Even if the information isn't gathered the book will still be printed as is.If anyone has ordered this book and wants to get in touch with the new company, here is the address they can write toDorothy Johnson P.O.

GartonPomI first wrote to a Pata Publications aboutl have attended some shows lately as a ectator and am quite upset about a few things I ive been seeing in the Pom ring. I sincerely pe that it has been from lack of knowledge, it somehow I don't think it is. I have seen'stacking" shows under judges wellvnerslown by their handler to make up majors. Now tacking" with quality is one thing, but stacking th inferior dogs that should be sold as pets is tally another. Dogs coming into the ring dirty, itrimmed on feet or ears, having not much are than a lead around their necks and shownth much less than professionalism makes me jnder what is going on. Did that same person ter her hoped-to-be-finished and it was Pom similar condition Of course not That dog was t down to perfection, freshly bathed, trimmed every hair and shown to perfection. I rsonally don't think much of a champion that inished against such poor competition. Another thing I have noticed repeatedly is or sportsmanship. Tricks such as crowdingSomething occurred this summer that was unpleasant and could have spelled disaster for my little hobby kennel of Poms. In August I purchased a black Pom puppy bitch from a well-known breeder.

But above all not watching the little innocents suffer.his source. We spent the night at a motel in the ame town and late in the evening the puppy leveloped diarrhea. I called the seller and was old to have the pup checked for whipworms as here were a lot of them in the state where the luppy was born. When we arrived home in Virginia the next day, the puppy was lypoglycemic but responded will to treatment, uckily we kept her isolated. After a few days she legan to show blood in the stool. On the next lay we went to the vet. We expected wh ipworms lut surprise we had a case of Strongylosis vhich is transmissable to human beings. The vet autioned me of the nature of this disease due to he age and health of my husband he was not to landle the puppy. The vet gave three distinct loses of medicine and complete home care nstructions. That night I called the party from vhom we purchased the puppy and was told that he puppy had been treated earlier for trongylosis at the breeder's kennel. If the ireeder knew about this problem, why wasn't I old about it at the time of purchasing the luppyTen days later the puppy began to scratch and lite at herself violently. 1 had noticed callouses in her elbows and hocks, like what is seen on an ild dog that had lived on cement. I had never een a four month old toy puppy with such a ondition. I again checked with our vet. Good lews this time. We now had Sarcoptic Mange. I iroceeded to dip the puppy per vet's advice and ve jumped that hurdle.This is a case that goes far beyond buyer leware. How quickly this could have been buyer loses all"The puppy has recuperated now and is doing leautifully, no thanks to the producing or the elling kennel. Happily I isolated the puppy or ny other stock could have been contaminated, et's consider the innocents the home pet luyer or the first time Pom fancier who doesn't mow about these problems. Can you imagine a amily with children or grandchildren contract- ng strongylosis or sarcoptic mange There are ither victims too like the little five pound nnocents who can't speak for themselves and ust ask for love and a pleasant home. It really lurts to see a puppy look at me and wonder why he had to be confined or wonder what she had lone wrong The puppy is a very loving little om and is doing fine now. Maybe the next time 'ou hear from me, God willing, we'll have a lappy note. I'd really rather be planning nice itters and making progress in my own kennelSandra DavisI found this in a rural branch of the U.S. Postal Service. I thought it was kind of a kick. My dogs would probably lick the postman to death if they got the chanceStop Dog Attacks\nPlease keep your dog fenced, leashed, or confined.Ed. Note This must be the poster to which Margaret McKee referred in her "Helpful Hints" column, October 1984. Mary Vickers also wrote about this poster in her Baltimore club report in the January 1985 issue. Regardless of the caption, this dog doesn't look like he's going to attack anything, least of all the person who delivers the Pom ReviewLorna MannisAs an old timer in Toys, I found it amusing to watch some "stacked" shows. The quality was poor as was the judging. What is the breeder proving A display of poor quality makes an ever poorer champion. Pity the poor buyer who does not know the quality. Such a pity we have to tolerate politics so blatantly put forth. Who can one blame, judge, handler or breeder All three I would say. They have no ethics to call their own.Is this really dog showing or "expensive ego trip" Could the dog finish in good company Why were all the stackers absent the next day Food for thought. I will watch. I would not want to be part of the wi n at al I cost.It is unfair to use animals for this purpose.

It's amazing how many dedicated and knowledgeable people we have in the judges ranks. We have learned to sit back and appreciate their skills.We sure wish more people would.Sharon MasnickAs a Pom breeder and a lover of dogs, I feel at due to current lifestyles of many families ime people are being denied the pleasure and impanionship of a dog of any breed. Economy, terest rates and the cost of purchasing a home ive forced many families to live in apartments townhouses. In most of these areas, pets are at allowed, or if allowed, the family is charged large deposit to cover the damage a pet might luse.I occasionally take one of my Poms to a opping center for training purposes and am rprised how many people stop and comment i how they wish they could have a dog.In my opinion, a well chosen dog for the ivironment and well trained could not be such problem. I wish something could be done to minate this form of discrimination.CIRCULATIONMANAGERLt. Col.

If you have i hard time judging six feet, measure it out at lome and see how many steps it takes to go that ar. Then when you're in the ring and you're lervous, count steps to yourself as you leave. It akes me three somewhat shortened strides to get jut there.After the judge has examined your dog, he will ell you to return. Don't return before he asks ou to. Then, pass the dog on the right, go all the vay around behind him and into heel position. \nd I mean heel position. The judge can dockyou as much as two points if you return incorrectly. When you stop next to the dog, your left leg should be right next to the dog's shoulder. Don't try to line your toes up with his, especially if you have large feet. This could drop your leg behind the dog's shoulder and you would lose points. Also make sure you are standing as close to your dog as you would if he were heeling. Standing out farther from the dog because you think he will move if you come in closer is another error the judge can get you for.Have someone who is knowledgeable watch you practice and point out any problems you are having. This is a great way to catch errors.Until next time, you all take care and happy heelingioPOMERANIAN REVIEWCh. Texican's Giant Killer Chula.v .mf.^AllV3 r4^4.\mlKILLER"It was easy, Mom.
