Muller's Encore began his show career at 8V2 months of age and was finished by the time he was 11 months with Best of Breeds and Group placements to his credit. He has accumulated 40 Best of Breeds now, many Croup placements and one Specialty Best in Show. For a dog who will only be three years old December 9, 1986, he has a very good show record.Corey is an orange sable, AVi pound dog with a very heavy coat. He as a son who will be coming out at the Arizona shows, so be sure to watch for him.We are very proud of Corey's accomplishments and proud to have bred such a nice dog.7074767778BreedersOwnersDavid and Lillian Muller 680 Graham Hill Road Santa Cruz, CA 95060 408 423-2496 408 425-4540HandlerAnna LaFortune 3139 Florine Dr. Lemon Grove, CA 92045 619 463-2700Yips Yaps"Turning Back The Clock"We would like to commend Mary Vickers on her July article "Turning Back the Clock." We know many hours of hard work and research went into this and it was most interesting. We were very pleased to find there is documented proof that parti-colored Poms were in existence before their orange counterparts.Maybe this will show the skeptics and help to promote this rare, eye catching color.Also, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have stood behind us by giving us encouragement, moral support and allowed us the use of your beautiful studs, for you have all helped us to muster the courage, determination and enthusiasm to dare to be different and stand up for something we believe in strongly.Sherry and Earl Steinmetz"Can We Talk"... I had hoped to write a follow up article for my column, "Can We Talk," but I have been so very busy that I haven't had the time to sit down and concentrateI did have quite a few letters from breeders, and most were a positive response to my article which is very encouraging. So I do plan to continue the series, as we do need an open forum column in the Review for issues specifically related to our breed.Claudia BraczykN.C.P.C. HospitalityAs this year's Hospitality Chairwoman for the N.C.P.C. Specialty, November 20, 1986, I would like to extend a hearty welcome to all.This year the club is hosting dinner for the judges, exhibitors and their guests. Dinner will continued next pagePOMERANIAN REVIEW 5PRESIDENT'SMESSAGESue Goddard Box 540, Rt. 2 Opelousas, LA 70570 318 543-6622We are finally in our new home and the dogs seem to love it, which goes a long way toward our loving it too. For one thing, we are legal after having been in violation of deed restrictions for 5 years. Fortunately we had no trouble in Flouston, but it was always a nagging possibility. We will miss our friends there and being able to talk to them on the phone without its being a long distance call. Hopefully they will visit us often and as it is just a bit over 200 miles, we hope to be able to attend at least some of their club meetings. Then of course there are the dog shows. Having just met 3 of the Houston members in Dallas, I feel less lonesome. Of course my next project is to see if we can't get the Louisiana people together to form a club. Although they are spread out, most are within the same distance as was involved with Houston.You will notice in this issue that the Board voted in favor of returning the Review to 4 issues rather than going to 6, as was originally planned. Although I urged going to 6, it was overwhelmingly felt that the club was best served by going back to 4 as it has been since the first issue. Concern about cost and meeting publication dates were the overriding opinion. Remember we are here as officers to serve your interests. When you have an opinion, let your wishes be heard so that we can represent your views. Letters that are constructive can always be included in Yips and Yaps or writing to the Corresponding Secretary brings your suggestions to the Board.You will shortly be asked to vote on Constitutional change to elect the Board to serve for 2 years rather than one. That seems a good idea as some of us barely get to know one another when there is a change. Also this will substantially lower the work load of theCorresponding Secretary in not having to mail out the nominations and voting every year. AKC is asking all clubs to review and standardize their individual breed standards, so any changes can be effected at one time.Are you making plans for New York We are going to be handling the banquet, hospitality room, etc. a bit differently and hope you will find it welcome. See you thereYips Yapsbe served right after the judging on the show grounds at the hospitality center. There will be no charge or donation.Members of the club and I will be preparing our favorite dishes. Please let me know that you do intend to join us as our guests by returning the postcard in your premium list. Or drop me a line at this address. Please indicate the number in your party. There is no charge, but we need to know how many people to prepare for.I have only been a member of N.C.P.C. a few short months, as so can't answer for the past. What is important to me is that each and every one os you is warmly welcomed this year. I am so looking forward to meeting all of you. I'll be the one in the apron. See you there.Ms. Nancy C. Parker 4846 A San Pablo Dam Rd.El Sobranti, CA 94803IS IT HONESTWe are all wanting our Pomeranians to be in the spot light, but are they getting their titles honestlyWhen we take our little fuzz balls to the show, wouldn't we feel better if we could walk away and say, "That dog got it honestly." We could go home and have a decent night's sleep, instead of talking about the things we see go on. think a Pom is the most wonderful friend we can have. Why not make it an honest friend When I go to the shows and my dog wins, I want it to be because the judge saw its quality and not its handler. If we ever need to improve our breed it's now, because somewhere down the road the results will tell continued on p. TO.6 POMERANIAN REVIEWSECRETARY'S REPORTDolores A. Watts 4800 Floral Park Road Brandywine, MD 20613 310 372-8782Shortly after reporting to the membership in the July issue of the Pom Review, 1 was off to Portland, Oregon to attend the APC Summer Specialty and the Columbia Pom Club Specialty. I left the Maryland area with temperatures ranging from the 90s 100s. We landed in Portland with beautiful temperatures ranging in the 70s. What a welcome change that was.The Columbia Pom Club did a superb job of looking after every exhibitor's needs. The hospitality was great in every aspect from the banquet dinner to trophies, etc. A special thanks to Jean Schroll who, with everything else she had to do, managed to take a few of us on a tour for a whole day. We drove up to Mt. Hood which was breathtaking and would you believe, it actually snowed on us. Everything was so well planned.

And the situation is not improving it's destroying our breed.When I walk away from the ring, I like to have a good feeling about myself and my dog, Even if it doesn't take the show, I can sleep at night.Thank you Ruth Beam, for Great Elms bloodlines.Nancy MullensReferring to pg. 48 of September IssueGeorgian's Betty, U.D.T. finished her title in 1943, not in the "late 1940's." Does it make a difference Yes. In 1943 the Obedience Regulations stated that the jump heights were to be "in proportion to the size of the dog" and that the dog was required to climb the high jump going out and returning. There were no printed guidelines for judges, and each judge decided fhe most appropriate height. In 1947 the rules changed. Now the jump heights were set at VA times the height of the dog and the broad jump at 3 times the height of the dog, AND the dog for the first time was required to clear the jumps.Ch. Nino of Thelcolynn, U.D. finished his obedience title in 1962 not 1982 I suspect a typographical error here. Youre right. Sorry. Editor. In 1962, the minimum height of the high jump was 12 inches. Nino was A-A'A lbs. and may possibly have been 8 inches tall, although I doubt it. In any case, Mrs. Lambert's Sourdough Timothy U.D. and my Starlite's Betty Lue, U.D.T., "Dixie" had both continued on p. 77.POMERANIAN REVIEW 11Poastyt m--Ch. Southland's Toast to Bev-NorSire Ch.

Pasadena, MD 21122 301255-134316 POMERANIAN REVIEWNORTHERN CALIFORNIA POMERANIAN CLUBby Ruth BugbeeDateline Holderness, New HampshireIt's September 10 and the leaves are already beginning to turn here in New England for what promises to be a fabulous display in early October when the leaf tours start. After the worst summer, for lack of sun, in 93 years according to the Portland, Maine T.V. weatherman we are seeing chilly but glorious days this last week of our stay. It's definitely "cozy fire" time each evening. Chipper and I are preparing for the plane ride back to California on Sunday. Hopefully it will be a smoother trip than our arrival. My husband left last Thursday after three fun-filled, hectic weeks of fishing, boating, flying and socializing with friends here in town. I'm still trying to figure a way to have Les come twice each summer so he can help open and close the cottage with me. I've started mothballing and putting away the linens. The hardest part is planning the food to the end and then ending up with an empty refrigerator the last day.Becaus.e weather has been so unpredictable and gloomy, I only attended one show this summer. Chipper wasn't shown as he had shed out and I think specials should always look their best. My good friend, Barbara Barfield, from Meredith, New Hampshire breeds Labrador Retrievers, owns Scrimshaw Kennels and is a member of Lake Region Kennel Club. Over the years I've met some delightful members through her kind introductions. They made me feel so comfortable and welcome. This year I was included in the work force and had the fun of selling catalogs and visiting with people from all over the country as they finished the six show New England circuit. I did get to watch Poms after lunch. It was a small but nice entry of 4 dogs and 2 bitches under Mrs. Tom Cately. The open bitch, Chula's Lullaby of Dragon, owned by B. Bell took WB, BOW and BOB. Mike-Mar's Struttin' Stuff, owned by P. Peters was WD and BOS. I enjoyed a lovely day surrounded by neat people and nice dogs and the SUN was shining a rare happening this season.Being a former Lab owner, I still have a big soft spot for the breed. I spent a great deal oftime with Barbara and her dogs. This summer she had 2 litters for me to play with. The first litter of 6 bitches 2 yellows, 4 blacks are 51j weeks old now and all but one are spoken for. The 3 week old all black litter of 5 girls and 4 boys and half spoken for, too. Scrimshaw Kennels is a quality operation with a consistently good show, field and obedience record. Barbara is a very knowledgeable breeder with 34 years experience, 24 of them as a breeder. Spending time with her is not only fun but always an education. My Chipper spent 2Vi of his 4 years with our old Lab, so he feels right at home with Barb's house dogs. Labrador Quarterly Magazine honored Barbara as one of three Breeders of the Year in 1984, so if any Pom people ever want to add a Lab to the household, she'd be a wonderful source person to contact for openers.I've had very little news on the Pom Summer Specialty which I am sure will be well covered in this issue by someone who attended.I had great news last night from California. Mark Presser and his new wife, Nancy, joined his folks on the Oregon-Cascade Circuit and Mark finished a CD degree on Jubilee's Firecracker the dog Mark and I now co-own in 3 straight shows with scores of 189, 191.5 and 181.5. He accomplished this with little practice, as Mark's priorities have been centered on his July wedding and honeymoon. I'm really proud of little "Crackers" and Mark. One of these days I want to share this nice young man's obedience story with all of you. It's a remarkable one.Lillian Muller's Ch. Muller's Encore took a BOB on the circuit and her Miller's Miss Leading Lady became a new champion. Great going Sandy Logan handled a handsome black male owned and bred by Dolly Trauner, Phyner Bust My Buttons, and put back to back 5 point majors on him. Dolly really has the winning black formula. Congratulations Apolloette's Gambler took 3 out of 5 available BOBs and a Group 4 on the same circuit. He's a solid little boy and moves so nicely. Looks as though NCPC members had a nice trip north.I found out last evening that NCPC will be having a Board meeting the night after I return to California. It must be my "welcome home."HMPOMERANIAN REVIEW 17Sweetheart PomeraniansVsa Puppies available from black and tan breedings.Black male, out of Parti female 350.00.Two champion sired males 250.00 per.

Hereafter, a dog must be disqualified three times before it is officially disqualified by the AKC. The rule is designed to stop cheating by exhibitors who are willing to perjure themselves on the records.Under the old method, the exhibitor appealed to AKC, which then set up a committee of three, usually with a veterinarian as a memja^r, to make an official determination. The owner of the dog had to swear that the dog brought before the committee was the dog which had been disqualified.Since the committee members would have to take the word of the exhibitor, this gave the cheaters a clear path. And AKC became well aware that this was happening.But despite the intentions of those who drew up the rule, it seems to me that it is not well advised, and that it may lead to more problems than it was designed to solve. A first reaction of many judges has been "Wh-y bother to disqualify at all"Not all judges bother to do so now. And the feeling is that owners of disqualified dogs will have no trouble in finding judges who will pass their dogs without bothering even to consider disqualification. So my own guess is that many judges who now conscientiously apply disqualification rules may no longer do so.Kerry Blue Terriers are born black, as are Yorkshire Terriers in the blanket part of their coats. In both breeds, the black must turn to blue by the age of 18 months or the dog must be disqualified. Kerries can, however, have black in specified areas.Say a judge disqualifies a dog. The owner can take the dog home, and can add enough blue color by the clever use of dyes so that the dog can be reinstated. Why shouldn't the dog be submitted to study before a committee at that showOf course, the cheating could be stopped in another way. That would be to require any exhibitor who planned to appeal to have anose print, or to have the dog tattooed, at the show where the disqualification was made.The owner or exhibitor of the dog would have the rule explained at the time of disqualification. If he or she got neither the nose print nor the tattoo at the show, no appeal would be permitted. It is worth mentioning that the Canadian Kennel Club requires either the nose print or the tattoo in certain cases. Why then, should AKC ignore this certain method of identifying a dogThe October issue of Old English Times carried a quarter-page bit of advice for new exhibitors. The title, in oversized heavy black print reads"Helpful hint No. 7. Carefully train your OES to make the most of his assets in the conformation ring, and always strive for the highest possible award."Nothing wrong with that, so far, except maybe if "its" replaced "his" it might include both sexes. But then, read on"If your breed judge is doing Croup or Best in Show, let him know you'd really like to win."Women judges are apparently excluded. But shouldn't the author of this helpful hint have added that if you are willing to be dishonest, you ought to tell the judge how much you are willing t pay for the higher awardsCORRECTIONIn the September 1986 issue, on pages 40 and 41, I accidentally reversed the photos.Ch.

Well, sort of anyway. Mary Vickers ports that Annon's Huggy Bear from Scamp DX has received a 200 award from the Pom lub of Greater Baltimore. It seems their club as a system of awarding points for such chievements as High in Trial, HS Toy, Class lacements, HS Pom, finishing titles, etc. luggy earned 200 points from June 15, 1985 irough April 7, 1986. He did this by winning l the trials he entered 2 HS Pom, 2 4th HS oy, 3 3rd HS Toy, 6 2nd HS Toy and 5 1st HS oy awards. Mary told me in February she'd et that 200 this year on Huggy and she wasn't kidding Mary also earned the Horizon .ward with a total of 226 Pom Points which Iso included Joy's 18 points and Nani's 8 oints. Way to go, Mary1 can't resist repeating a portion of a letter .lice Lessard wrote to me in July. It expresses ny feelings and those of many other people ery well. "I never dreamed there were so lany Poms in Obedience I wish someday in ny life time we could have a specialty with Ibedience. Presently, I am the only one ampaigning any Poms in California, and I nust admit that I really do enjoy the iniqueness, but I also would enjoy seeing ither Poms working. You might say I want my ake and eat it too." How many other Pom leople feel this way I'm sure that someday, naybe sooner than anyone believes possible, ve will have Obedience at a Pom Specialty. 1 or one don't plan to miss it.Alice reports she went to Caines Western tegional in Fresno, CA, but without Natsu. ^bout a week before Caines, Natsu fell off the vaterbed and dislocated her hip. Needless to ay, there were no Poms at the Western tegional, but there's always next year in Salt .ake City. The next weekend she went to the ixpo Shows in Canada. There Geisha took lome a trophy for HS Pomeranian at the firstNational Specialty for the Pomeranian Club of Canada with a score of 195 from Novice B. Geisha has now earned her Canadian CD. Zannie-Annie took the Breed two days from the junior puppy class and Best Puppy in Breed for five days. She also took Best Puppy in Group V Sweeps. So Alice had quite a successful and fun vacation in Canada and naturally will be going back next year to finish Zannie-Annie's championship and get her CD, plus work on Ceisha's CDX. And next year Natsu will be going along, tooMargaret McKee has written to let us know that a dog she bred, Idlewyld Wild Bill Cody, owned by Carolyn Edwards, got his second leg toward his CDX at the Virginia Beach KC by taking 1st in Novice B. Carolyn showed a Pom many years ago and put 2 UD legs on it before retiring the dog due to illness. Wild Bill hasn't been out since waiting for cooler weather, but it's wonderful to have Carolyn back out at the shows It sounds like we'll have another UD contender before too long. Also, after one full year of trying everything imaginable, Margaret's Pooh Bear has finally caught on to scent discrimination and is using his NOSE Co Pooh, Co Now it wasn't really all that difficult, was it PoohMary Morris of Holland, Michigan is out on the circuit again. Mr. Bo's broken leg has healed up very nicely, and he and Jasmine are again knockingthem dead in Novice A. Earlier this summer Mr. Bo was the only dog qualifying in Novice A in a fun match they entered. Again at a later match Mr. Bo took 2nd and Jasmine took 4th in Novice A. I have to give Mary alot of credit. Not only is she a novice handler showing her first dog in Obedience, but she's showing two at one time and placing with both of them Since then Mr. Bo was entered in his second Trial, first since his accident Aug. 23 in Muskegon, Ml. There he earned his first leg with a 189 from Novice A and took 4th place. Now that he's got one leg, Mary is already working on him to retrieve the dumbell coming up in Open work.There were some Poms entered in the Obedience Trials during the Pom Specialty shows in the Portland area this past July.

In the July ssue, I wrote about the Puget Sound 3omeranian Club and its history. I credited Dr. Charles Wilson with the Northwest's first slack champion. Dr. Wilson did have Washington's first black champion, Ch. vlidnightof Point Loma. The Northwest's first vas Ch. Goldpaz Captain Midnight, bred and swned by Joy LeCompt. I also reported C.J.'s sadora the Northwest's first black and tan champion. Again I meant Washington's first. Sh. Westmost's Black Jack, bred, owned and shown by Bea and Wayne Coerge was the first o finish in the Northwest. Another Northwest alack and tan finished earlier in the midwest and then came back to Oregon. He was bred by Margaret McKune and was one of the first, if not the first, black and tan in the UnitedStates. His name is Ch. Rainbow's Willowmar Hi Ho. Hi Ho is now owned by John Nye and with his grand son, Rainbow's Taco Hi, form a beautiful brace.Problems come in threes. My third error is in the issue I have not yet seen, where I reported that Bi-Mar Shawn had also finished. Sorry, he lacks one point. Again I say I apologize for the inaccuracies. I hope that the owners of the old champions will forgive me.Now it's my turn to comment. We who write for the Review struggle to find topics of interest, educational or informative value or just entertainment to present to you. I can count on the fingers of my two hands the times that someone has called me to say, I liked your last article. But let me forget something or make an error, and the phone rings before I have finished reading the article in question. The Review columnists need your input before we write. A postcard with show results, a note saying my dog won under judge Jones and including the other winning Poms that day with the name and date of the show would be a big help.

Other commentsName, address, age and sex are entirely optional But please, do it nowTwo more books I can highly recommend to youAPC member Diane Bauman's book, Beyond Basic Dog Training, is hot off the presses and is a most welcome addition to an obedience enthusiast's library. I've known Diane primarily by reputation for years, so I was delighted to discover she has a very readable style. Not every brilliant trainer can write.Fellow trainers had reported to me that it was one of those books "you just can't put down." It is fascinating reading, but one thing I like about this book is that you can put it down. Most of the chapters are fairly short, thus allowing busy people to read a complete chapter in a short time, and not lose the train of thought due to an interruption. Read a chapter, then put it down to think about it.The volume is well illustrated with photos of handlers and dogs, diagrams, and photos of sneakers to show footwork. Yes, Diane's Pom Abra is in some of the pictures.If you have been turned off by training methods or clinicians who seem harsh or callous "If that doesn't work, get another dog.", do read Diane's book. If you don't have major problems, but want to increase your scores, this book can certainly help. For example, read what she says about attention or the chapter on proofing. The book is available from Howell Book House, 230 Park Ave., New York, NY 10169 for 15.95. Quantity discounty are available.Even if you don't train in obedience, you must do some training with your dogs. So this book is for everybody Don't Shoot The Dog by Karen Pryor. She explains behavior modification and how to use it better than anything else I've read on the subject. She says before you try to train any animal, you should have to train a chicken because you can't force a chicken to do anything. Karen has extensive experience training dolphins, porpoises, and killer whales, with which positive methods are a must. She shows how behavior modification techniques can be applied to all kinds of critters dogs, birds, wolves, children, even yourself.

If he is born with a lead Dn and baiting oh, joy. He'll be fun to show. But what if he isn't What if he is a little hy and drops his tail won't stand still on the table Drops his head while gaiting Big breeders who have many puppies to choose from or rich people who can just go buy another may decide training a timid dog isn't worth the time and effort. If it is a big enough bitch, she'll be "just a brood," a male will be sold.For those of us who don't breed much or who, once having accepted a dog into our homes and hearts won't get rid of it, we can overcome showing problems if we are willing to expend some time and patience. Take Penny. Took her to New York as a puppy for the specialty, and she placed well in all her classes. Great. Go to the local shows. Penny doesn't show well and doesn't win. Fall back and re-group. Give her time to grow up. Get her CD obedience builds confidence. Let her have a litter. Meantime observe her and try to analyze her problems.1. The reason she had done well in New York was classes there were big. She did better in crowds. Solution quit entering BBE. Enter her only in Open, at shows where there's likely to be a good entry. Get at the end of the line.2. Penny showed her insecurity by dropping her ears. I tried all sorts of tricks to get them up food, various noises, putting her ears up for her and giving a verbal command. What worked best for her was a sharp jerk up on the lead. That put the ears up, then bait kept them up. After that, it wasn't hard to finish her.Clearly the time and effort involved in this much training for conformation doesn't appeal to most people. But if you like a challenge, and that sweet little puppy is really pretty, give it a try.Puget Sound P.C., cont'd from p. 18.President Dana Plonkey Vice-President Peter Castaneda Secretary Sylvia Harbin Treasurer Irene Harbin.The membership is working hard to get ready for our second A-OA Match scheduled for November 9, 1986.

Her owners are very dedicated to the Pom and very proud of all the winnings.The weather here has been very erratic this summer very hot to very cool. It has been very hard on coats, since here in the Northwest most of us do not have air conditioning. Now the weather is looking more like fall and the coats should come back again.

A hole new ball game is in the works.Being a product of our nation's Public chool System and several professional chools I can attest to the value of good raining. On the other hand I have seen many if my well educated colleagues with PhD's inable to make the swift and valid type of lecisions that are necessary in the show ring, hey can and do arrive at valid conclusions iven the necessary time for analysis, fowever, their kind of thinking process would e foreign to the show ring where more mmediate response is necessary.As an officer in the military I learned a vhole new schema of decision making. Those vho could not cope with situations that called or quick and correct decisions were weeded ut of the command structure in a hurry. So ar no one has come up with a plan to select udges based on that construct. In fact I am ure it probably could not be done given our Jemocratic structure.We all recognize that the ability to think on sur feet and render swift and correct decisions eems to be what is required in a good judge. Dh that such prospective judges with that ability wore white hats so that they could be kicked out early by AKC and show giving clubs.What makes these individuals stand out from their peers I have reviewed the ranks of 'great" judges over the past 25 years and frankly, I can't identify a pattern other than the fact that the majority had already achieved success as a breederexhibitor or handler. From the great antique dealer, Alva Rosenberg to the consumate professional handler, Percy Roberts, the phrase "had an eye for a good dog" is the only other thread in common.Supporting the "eye for a good dog" premise 1 recall that during my years as a practicing Psychologist I often noted that some of my patients lacked the ability to harmonize color and style. They lacked a certain something that enables some women to see an empty house and in their minds eyeto lay out a furniture and decorating scheme to enhance its beauty. My wife has his knack just as she also can see a dress hanging limply on a rack of clothes in a store and immediately envision it on herself and make the necessary decisions about the accessories needed to set it off to best advantage. I should know it keeps me in debt.I also found that many of these people were not good dancers. They did not have a sense of rhythm or balance. They did not react to music as a major stimuli in their lives. They were, in a sense, mechanics. By this I mean they could do things right but it was a rigid, stereotypical way. It had no sense of "having it all together." Sadly, I have seen these mechanics in the ring. They are the ones who do "piecework."They do not judge the dog as a whole, seeing the symmetry, the balance, the flowing lines. No, they judge by the piece. Fronts, so many points, heads, so many points, etc. and the dog with the highest number of points in their minds is the winner. They do not see anything wrong in that approach. That's how they perform in everyday life.Let me describe an experience I had some years ago when I went to a fellow judge's house for an evenings entertainment. Now this person was financially comfortable and had a home in a lovely section of town. As I walked in the door I began to feel uncomfortable. I couldn't put my finger on it but I was vaguely ill at ease all evening. On the way home my wife crystalized my thinking then she commented on some of the lovely pieces she had seen and went on to say that nothing fit together. There was no overall theme, no integrating force. There were just nice things that when taken together made no real impact. I guess that observation would fit as a description of a dog as well nice pieces but does not fit together. Certainly if a person could not put their own space together in harmony, it may be impossible for them to see this harmony and balance in a dog.So far I have attempted to describe some of the characteristics that might help to make someone a good judge. Were it so easy Perhaps if I had a large enough computer toPOMERANIAN REVIEWRam boaSs.JX-i'WiT-A1v- S - ^ y^S m7amk KCh.

However, would doubt its capability to discriminate fectively. So, let's review what we have in ind and accept it as a beginning for purposes this article.Have a good sense of balance Years as a successful breederexhibitor or mdler'Ability to harmonize colors and space 'Ability to make swift and accurate scisions'The ability to see things as a whole the sstalt complex as it's called, is the ability to ^cognize that the whole can be greater than le sum of its parts.'React to music and rhythm Now let's add to this bank of information. A aod Judge should also be one who has larned that heshe must bear the consciences of their own actions. These kinds of sople have learned to take responsibility for lemselves. They walk out of the ring upon ampletion of their assignment knowing they idged objectively and well. They cannot be lfluenced or intimidated. There is a onfidence of self as a capable human being, his is a whole person. In contrast is the Judge hose own life has been unrewarding and 'ho feels he has been shabbily treated by lose in authority. This is the kind of person 'ho relishes playing Cod in the ring. They njoy knocking off the current big winner and eing able to boast about it to the hometown lub later.There is also the physiological side to onsider. Believe it or not, not all people loking at an object see it the same way. iside the human skull are two brains that rork together side by side, each with amewhat different functions and perspec- ves.In right handed people with normal earing, the processing of language, arith- letic and other analytic functions is primarily ie task of the left hemisphere, while spatial oncepts, recognition of faces those ttributes necessary for judging are those of he right hemisphere. Damage to the right emisphere results in loss of the ability to itegrate spatial concepts.The normal brain functions as an integrated k'hole, although its two different hemispheres lave somewhat different complementary unctions. The left hemisphere controls theright side of the body and vice versa. Each eye communicates with both hemispheres, but the visual fields are divided. The left half of the visual field of each eye goes to the right side of the brain and the right half of each eye's field to the left. Signals travel quickly from one hemisphere to the other through a switching network called the corpus callosum, but a direct signal to either hemisphere from the outside is faster and more accurately perceived than a message relayed from one side to the other.The Judge in the ring may be unconsciously paying more attention to the left side of an animal's head because that part of the image goes most directly to the viewer's right brain, which is adept at analyzing faces. Now, here is where variances can occur. New evidence from the University of California Medical school suggests that the cooperation of the hemispheres is neither inborn or complete at birth.Scientists at the Langly Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute in San Francisco are now testing the possibility that faulty connections between the hemispheres may be the cause of peculiarities in communication between the hemispheres. It's entirely possible that many Judges looking at the same dogs are not seeing the same things. Therefore we can speculate and say maybe the decisions they reach based upon what they see are correct, but most others may not perceive it the same way.Obedience News, cont'd from p. 34.Review in Obedience News.

These jolicies will go into effect for all applications eceived after January 1, 1986.Board member Lou Auslander, chairman of he AKC Board's Judging, Research and Development Committee, and AKC President Villiam Stifel, who announced the program, laid the changes are intended to help "make he judging approval system as fair, jnderstandable and equitable as possible."The new minimum requirements are in iddition to existing prerequisites, said \uslander, who added that more changes are oming."We're very proud of the quality of our iudges, and we expect that with these and Future policy changes, their reputation will be even stronger," Auslander declared. He said all current judges had been asked about the judges' selection process and 1,500 of the 2,400 AKC-approved judges responded.Basically, the new policy standards require1. A first-time applicant for judging approval must have a minimum of ten years' documented experience in the sport. Documentation might show date of litter, date of first exhibiting, and date of club membership. An AKC registration certificate alone is not sufficient documentation.2. A first-time applicant must have bred a minimum of four litters of the initial breed being-applied for. These litters must have been raised by the applicant on the applicant's premises. The intention here is to eliminate credit for co-owned litters raised by someone else in another location.3. From the minimum four litters, at least two dogs must become champions. It is not necessary that when they are shown, they be owned or handled by the applicant.4. First-time applicants who have qualifications exceeding the minimum requirements of 10 years, four litters and two champions will be given consideration for this additionalexperience. They may be eligible for approval of more than the basic breed for which they qualify.5. After applicants receive initial approval to judge a breed or breeds, the so-called "one-for-one" policy approving only one new breed for each breed already held will apply only for the first time they seek approval to judge additional breeds, subject to the limitations in paragraphs 6,7 and 8, which follow.6. When an individual applies for a number of additional breeds to complete his or her first group, approval will include, at most, those breeds necessary to complete that group. This is to permit evaluation of the judge's performance as a Croup Judge.7. After the initial application to judge, no application for additional breeds will be accepted for more than 12 breeds.8. No more than 12 breeds will be approved in one application for Croups 1,2,3 and 4. No more than nine breeds will be approved in one application for Croups 5,6 and 7.9. No applicant will be approved to complete more than one group at a time.10. Applications for additional breeds will not be processed until one year from date of the last approval and until five judging assignments in each of the most recently approved breeds have been completed.Auslander said all applications will be evaluated on individual merits within the framework of the general minimum requirements. He added that the Board "will continue to only approve the number of breeds that a judge can judge competently."Current criteria now include passing a written test on each breed standard move announced by the committee earlier.Auslander said the committee also plans to add a written test on gait, structure and terminology. A pilot test is being developed.Effective January 1, a new judges observation report form will go into effect, Auslander said. Also, a pilot seminar on judging procedure is planned for New Jersey in February, he told the group. Eventually, all first-time applicants are expected to be required to attend such seminars, he said.Still in the planning stages, for Spring of 1986, is a pilot judges evaluation committee program "to help observe the substantive ability of judges to apply breed knowledge in the ring."POMERANIAN REVIEW 5r.-V'StItVAlohafromHawaiiAMOUR'S. . . who now has Pom Fever, proudly announces we are the new owners ofMoreno's CC Jr By ChoiceThanks to Julie Moreno, Moreno's Poms, who so kindly let us have this super little son of Ch.

Box 687Bluff City, TN 37618 Mocksville, NC 27026POMERANIAN REVIEW52Beginners Need Patienceby Dave ReevesSomeone once said to me, "What we need n our breed of dogs is a very large supply of 3DT." I could not imagine what a dog breeder vould do with DDT, so I asked. The reply was jne that I shall never forget. "To kill the ants n the pants of all the beginning breeders."Once I stopped laughing I realized that this itatement was not so funny as it originally ounded. The simple fact of the matter is that ne of the major problems of the beginning sreeder is a lack of patience or, "ants in the jants." Undoubtedly the high drop-out rate in lurebred dogs comes in large part from lack if patience on the part of the beginner. Let's ook at some of the common problems caused Dy a lack of patience1. TOO MANY DOCS TOO SOON. We have ill seen this beginner. He buys everything in sight. He has at least one dog from every major breeder in the country in his attempt to Decome a big winner quickly. Before he mows it, he has thirty dogs none of which is winning. He is spending all of his waking nours feeding and picking up after dogs. No longer is it any fun for him.This beginner would be much better off with one dog, preferably a male that he can show. I say a male because if dog number one is a bitch, he is sure to breed her, which is the last thing he should do at this point, both for his own sake and for the sake of the breed. Instead, if he will buy the best male he can for his money and chances are he will get a much better male than he would a female for the same number of dollars and show that one male, he would learn far more about his breed than if he bought thirty dogs. He will have the time to learn because he has only one dog to take care of. Instead of drudgery, the dog will be fun. He won't be bankrupt from paying for dogs either.2. THE MISTAKE OF SHOWING A DOG THAT IS NOT READY. Most of us are guilty of this fault. It is a tough one to correct. Canine history is filled with accounts of dogs who struggled to their titles when they were young, too young, or out of condition. They could have breezed through at a later date when they were in full bloom. Not only is it costly and frustrating to show a dog that is notready, but the damage to the dog's future career can be lasting. Many stud dogs, now in their prime and in glorious condition, are not used as much as they should be, because the show-going public has a memory of them in poor condition. This memory can last for a lifetime.The only solution to this problem of a lack of patience is to repeat over and over the phrase, "Leave him home, leave him home . .Then, when the dog is in glorious condition, bring him out for the world to see and finish his title easily.3. WANTING TO HAVE YOUR OWN BREEDING PROGRAM TOO SOON. I'm convinced that beginners want to buy bitches as their first dogs because the first thought in their minds is breeding their own dogs, even when they know little about the breed. The illogic of this position is difficult to understand. Although a few a very few beginners have been lucky enough to breed a winning litter early on, odds are against it. And yet, the beginner has "ants in his pants" to begin having litters of his own. To compound this problem, the desire to breed usually results in having a number of bitches in whelp at the same time. The pages of breed magazines are filled each month with advertisements from new names with several litters on the way.The best advice that can be given is "skip her." One of the most successful breeders in Standard Poodles, with seven champions to his credit, has bred only two litters, even though he has been in the breed about twelve years. Emulate him. We have a long waiting list all the time at our kennel, yet we skip many bitches when they come in season because we have all the litters we can comfortably handle and plan for the year. It is tempting to breed one of our champion bitches to one of our champion studs just to satisfy this waiting list all it takes is twenty minutes of time since both dogs are ours. But that is a poor reason for doing a breeding. I urge you to do the same no matter how successful you are in selling puppies. Have the patience to do only those breedings which you have good reason to believe will produce continued on p. 66.POMERANIAN REVIEW 6Am. Can.Ch.

She told me how technically backward we are as dog breeders in comparison to farm animals. Did you know that they can do uniranalysis on horses and cattle to determine pregnancy Did you know that they use ultrasound on sheep Their breeding facilities, fertility studies and advances make us look like we are still in the dark ages They do embryo transplants with good results all the time in cattle wouldn't that be great The dog breeders really do fall short I wonder why It can't only be because of the size difference, can it See what your vet can tell you.

Somehow the notion has become popu lar that those of us with stud dogs "clean up" on stud fees. Therefore, there is always a lack of patience on the part of the beginner to have a dog sometimes multiple dogs at public stud. Without the foggiest notion as to the large amount of work involved picking up bitches at airports in all kinds of weather, keeping bitches for a week, telephoning and writing their owners, etc., people launch into having a stud dog. Money is spent on advertising, and then the dog is not used at stud. The owner becomes frustrated and can't understand what went wrong in his grand plan to "clean up" with a stud dog.Patience is clearly the solution here. In any breed there are a very few stud dogs that get most of the action. If one is bent on having a dog at public stud, with patience, one can acquire one of these great dogs. It requires patience and much search to find that great stud dog that happens to be in a part of the country where he is not being used much it requires patience to convince his owner that you are the proper person to own one of these few great dogs.In conclusion the person who advised that we all need a very large supply of DDT was not being so funny after all.POMERANIAN REVIEW 6Pattys Pomeranians xr4..ST.CROIX VALLEYKENNEL club4Pattys Dinomite of Bren-Pay"Dino" only needs one point to finish his championship.

Located on ten acres of orime real estate, close to town. No close neighbors, room for dogs or horses. Reasonably priced."Sound too good to be true In most parts of the country, it is. Escalating real estate values have driven "small acreages" out of reason for the average homebuyer, and dog fanciers are finding it more and more difficult to find a place where a small or medium-sized hobby kennel can exist in peace without pressure from neighbors, real estate developers or zoning ordinances.Many fanciers find themselves forced to buy property a greater distance from the town where they work than they'd like to have, just to find the privacy they want at a price they can afford. But these folks pay the price in commuting time and expense.Others settle for less property than they want just so they can be close to town, and find themselves having to appease non-dog- loving neighbors or justify their hobby to the law.And others have purchased homes with an acre or two that can be situated in such a way as not to annoy the nieghbors, only to discover that the zoning ordinance or subdivision deed covenants limit the number of dogs that a property owner may have, or place other restrictions, such as prohibiting fences or outbuildings. Talk with a group of dog fanciers, and you'll no doubt hear a number of similar horror stories.All most dog fanciers want is room to "do their thing" with minimal interference from the neighbors and the law, at a price they can afford. Is there such a property For most people there is. But finding it takes time, patience and a flexible set of requirements. You're more likely to find property that works for you if you're willing to compromise to make the real estate fit your needs. Be aware that there will be trade-offs, no matter what property you end up buying.Perhaps you'll get lucky and find a home that suits you on two to ten acres of land. Research the property carefully before signing your name on the dotted line. What is thecharacter of the surrounding area Is it possible to predict how the neighborhood will develop in the next ten years Is the city expanding and growing in a direction that will place the property in the path of growthIf you answer "yes" to that last question, here's good news and bad news. The good news is that the property will most likely increase substantially in value within the next few years. The bad news is that property taxes will probably increase proportionately and there might be some other not-so-pleasant surprises in store. If city utility service is not presently available, it will probably be extended as the town grows, and property owners in those improvement districts could be hit with expensive utility assessments. And the larger the property, the higher the assessments will be.Neighbors will begin to move closer and closer to your property, and it is inevitable that some of them won't be dog lovers. If the area is unzoned or divided into numerous small-acreage tracts, there's always the possibility that a developer will come along and build a "planned unit development" condominiums, zero-lot line homes, or even apartments next door. What effect will it have on your property to be next door to a high-density housing projectIt's important to check the zoning on any property you might be considering. Be sure to determine if you'll have "grandfather rights" for your kennel in the event the zoning is changed in the future and whether or not those "grandfather rights" wi 11 be transferrab le to a buyer when you sell the property. If you can, get a letter to that effect from an official in the zoning department, and keep it with your other papers about the property. The right to have a hobby kennel on the property could prove to be an important selling point.Good neighbor policyBut suppose you find that even a small acreage is out of your price range There are ways to keep a moderate number of dogs on an average suburban lot and still coexist peacefully with your neighbors. The main consideration is simply being a good neighbor if you can keep your dogs from annoying the folks who live around you, they probably won't hassle you.Consider, first, the number and breed ofPOMERANIAN REVIEW 7Mi Babe Pomsproudly presents3 k KWINNERSBEST OE OPPOSITE SEXCHAMPAIGN ILLINOIS KENNEL CLUB JUNE1988 BOOTH PHOTOR9Ch.

A fancier with ten Lhasa Apsos will obviously require less room than a German Shepherd owner who has only two or three dogs. Neighbors are less likely to object to the presence of the smaller dogs, too, unless they're big barkers. Dogs that bark a lot can frequently be kept indoors, either in the house or the garage, if that's compatible with the owner's lifestyle. In selecting a residential property for your family and your dogs, give careful consideration to where dogs can be housed indoors, either to keep their noise from bothering others or to keep people from bothering them.Is there room for an outdoor kennel If you have a breed that needs to spend a lot of time outdoors, a kennel run or a separate pen is important, even if you have a fenced yard. Dogs confined to a kennel run generally bark less than when they're loose inside a larger fenced area. Kenneled dogs can't run a fence perimeter every time a stray comes near your yard, and the occasional meddlesome neighbor child will find no fun in teasing your dogs if he can't get close enough to do it.Noise reduction can be accomplished in other ways, too. A wood fence around the yard is more effective than a wire one, both for protecting your dogs and for discouraging barking. A wood fence absorbs sound somewhat, although it's not as effective as shrubbery and vegetation. A board fence is more difficult for dogs to climb, and if properly designed, keeps children from climbing it, and shields your dogs from sticks, rocks and squirt guns.Before you buy a house in a residential development, look around the neighborhood. Do the neighbors have dogs Are there multiple-dog owners in the area Are the yards fenced and the neighbors' dogs kept at home Are the dogs in the area quiet, or do some of the neighbors have noisy animals There's a Murphy's law that states that the serious dog fancier in the neighborhood gets blamed for noise, no matter whose dogs are causing the commotion.Check out the deed covenants for the subdivision for any provisions that address the keeping of animals. Some covenants limit the number of dogs a property owner can keep, and some have provisions that prohibit breeding pets. Familiarize yourself with your local animal control ordinance and any legal restrictions on dogs imposed by local zoningregulations keeping your kennel within the law can save lots of problems.Finally, look at the property with an eye to your convenience. If you breed dogs, determine if there's a good spot for a whelping area and a suitable place to raise puppies, both indoors and out. A utility room with its own door to the back yard is an ideal whelping area, particularly if it has a sink. Utility rooms, because of the heat given off by washers, dryers and furnaces, are warmer than the rest of the house. Having a sink makes cleanup easy and convenient, and whelping box bedding can go right from the box into the washing machine with a minimum of effort. The dam can go outside and come in without going through the rest of the house, and the room can be closed off from other parts of the house to provide privacy for the litter.Is there more than one door that opens into the fenced back yard If your dogs stay in the house a lot, two or more back doors will provide a lot of convenience. A back door to the garage is a help, too, and a feature worth looking for.Think about cleanup, too both for your dogs and for the premises. Is the lot properly filled and sloped so that there won't be a lot of puddles standing around after a rainfall or snowfall Is there a lawn You haven't lived until you've tried to start a new lawn with a yard full of big dogs. How will you be able to dispose of dog droppings Many sanitation departments won't haul dog feces away with the rest of the garbage, and dog owners must make other arrangements for disposal. Some owners have good success with the "dog septic tanks," while in colder parts of the country, many people say they don't work very well.Does the house have a good place to wash dogs In warmer climates, many fanciers prefer to do their dog bathing outdoors, so look for a convenient outdoor water spigot. Depending on the size of your dogs, you may be able to find a home with good facilities for bathing indoors. For breeds that require a lot of grooming, some consideration needs to be given to a grooming room or area.Before you go house-hunting, it's a good idea to make a list of features that are important to you, perhaps even a checklist with room to compare features of several different properties. When you look at a property, check off the features on your list.continued on p. 74.POMERANIAN REVIEW 73Chip-A-WayPomeraniansm [BLi _. _' TV i Jrv_A.

To me they were grotesque little fellows, something that a child might indescriminately put together from many conglomerate parts. However, this proved to be a mutual admiration gathering, one enthusiastic exhibitor announcing, "These are the most beautiful little dogs in the world." The shock set me back on my heels, that anyone could call these funny little specimens beautiful. No doubt they were lovable, affirmed by wagging tails, and to me, anything that wags is a heart-stealer. But beautiful The word itself seemed to be a put-down on many other breeds, especially Pomeranians that everybody knows are really the most beautiful little dogs in the world. True, this actually depends upon the eye of the beholder. But many eyes besides those of the breeders pass favorable judgement on our priceless Poms. Try walking one down the street just don't be in a hurry, as many people will stop you to admire. My latest puppy in show-training went to the bank with me not long ago and the whole establishment turned out to play with him. Now they all remember me and ask about the puppy at deposit time. We may have near-perfect examples and breeders become choosy, but any Pom is a pretty dog in varying degrees a sensation and a show stopper.This reminds me to tell you the story of the Showstopper line. In 1954, there was a sad period in our kennel that will never be forgotten. Distemper. Preventatives were not so dependable in those days. Our local veterinarian who lived a block from our home came by every morning on the way to his office to leave medication and give advice. My old records state that 32 Poms were treated and given daily shots. Nine were in critical condition, declared incurable, but I refused euthanasia as long as they could swallow little balls of raw meat from my hands, even though they were unable to standor move. Some lasted nearly a month, not in pain but barely alive.In desperation, l drove all of the little patients 140 miles to our state Veterinary School, hoping to stay there with them during treatment. The doctors offered no hope but agreed that the Poms could be left there. With visions of experimentation, the offer was refused thinking that it would be better that they die in their own home with loving care. Eventually, they all died but one and she began to suffer so intensely that I agreed to the terminal needle while held in my arms.After that awful period in my Pom history, it was not advisable to breed or keep puppies for at least six months. When the trouble had begun, only one puppy was present and he was quickly bundled off to the home of a friend. There an army couple, briefly stationed in San Antonio, saw the puppy and were eager to buy him. Afraid to take him back home, he was sold to Hazel Rushing for 150 a big price in those days with the agreement that Clara Alford would finish him. This came to pass and the name coined especially for him was "Bonner's Tiny Showstopper." He was the original and creator of the Showstopper line. One of his famous sons was Thelcolyn's Showstopper who carried his superior genes, and they persisted through many generations. A large oil painting of Bonner's Tiny Showstopper hangs in my office, and his puppy picture is in the book, "The Complete Pomeranian." Now many breeders praise the Showstopper line without any idea of its origin.Real Estate, cont'd from p. 72.Don't try to depend on your memory all too often the memory fails a homebuyer when he or she sees a particular feature to fall in love with. It is frequently said that people buy according to their emotions and then attempt to use reason to justify their choice.Perhaps you won't be able to afford the property you'd like to have, or maybe you won't even be able to locate it, but with planning, careful research and consideration for neighbors, you can have a place where you and your dogs can live happily ever after.

A Star Was BornThis memorable event took place on Friday, April 18, 1986, at the Chestnut Ridge Volunteer Fire Department, in a quiet suburban community known as Owings Mills, Maryland.The occasion was the seventh annual spring specialty show, sponsored by the Metropolitan Baltimore Dachshund Club, Dorothy E. Ritter, President.The show routinely came to a close with Mrs. Alan R. Robson's wirehair champion, Ruckengrafs Ruff Neck W. being selected as Best of Breed by judge Roger Lee Van of Michigan. Robert Fowler, agent-handler, accepted the laurels.The club members began dissassembling the ring, while the "nomads" of show biz packed their equipment and live cargo into their respective vans, wagons and various other forms of transportation.For many it would be "On The Road Again" to the Washington Specialty, the second jewel in a trio of weekenders often referred to as the "Cherry Blossom" circuit.Wierd things have been known to happen in the unpredictable world of dogdom, as many will attest, but we believe the MBDC achieved a "first" in the Ripley category of incredible performances at a dog show . . .The action began with the precipitous arrival of a wild-eyed young man who burst into the fire hall declaring somewhat incoherently that his wife was about to have a baby in his car in front of the engine house. He stood there, bewildered by the unexpected assemblage of dogs, crates and people scurrying about in the normally isolated fire hall, but repeated his announcement and pleaded for an ambulance or a medic.Unfortunately, neither was available. The firefighters had vacated the premises for the dog show, leaving one idle fire engine, one fireman, and no ambulance or medic.Fortunately, with dog people, expedience is the mother of initiative. Without further urging, they sprang into action.Cindy Kern, an exhibitor, ran to a nearby phone and called statewide emergencynumber 911. The switchboard operator misinterpreted her message, and wanted to know how far apart her labor pains were."For Cod's sake, man" she shouted. "Try to understand. A lady is about to have a baby on the parking lot of this fire station. We need a medic and an ambulance immediately."He finally got the message straight, and asked for directions.Meanwhile, word spread around the compound, inside and out, of the young couple's dilemma. Help was organized magically from all directions.From the rear of the building a trio of helpers came running with Jane Fowler, a former RN, leading the group, already rolling up her sleeves, followed by Fran Colonna and Lorene Hogan and many assistants loaded with clean towels and blankets hastily extracted from the mobile caravan.The frightened, anguished mother-to-be was ushered into the office area of the fire station, where Jane Fowler confronted the fireman on duty."Do you know anything about first aid, mister" she asked. "We've got a lady here about to give birth to a baby.""Hell, no" he exclaimed emphatically. "I don't know anything about delivering babies.""All right, Buster, you can still help," she replied. "Get me some hot water, a first-aid kit, and drag that cot over here."The fireman complied quickly with her requests, then vacated the premises.The cot was covered with some blankets and towels, and the girls eased the distrought mother-to-be gently onto the cot.The attempt to remove the young lady's jeans prompted a vehement protest. She avowed she would not have the baby in a firehouse in full view of strangers."Honey," Jane assured her, "these are vour friends. We want to help you. I'm a Registered Nurse. You'll be in good hands. Mother Nature isn't about to wait for your convenience."A sudden thrust by the unborn child towards freedom brought an anguished cry and immediate cooperation from the patient.As it turned out, it was none too soon.

The only hitch was the umbilical cord which had wound itself about the infant's neck.Skillfully, Jane cut the cord and removed it. For a few moments that seemed like hours, the baby lay motionless, then suddenly came to life with a spastic motion and a faint cry.An audible sigh came from the on-lookers.Minutes later, an oncoming siren announced the arrival of an ambulance and a medic. An I.V. was attached to the mother, and mother and baby were wheeled to the waiting ambulance.As the entourage reached the outdoor pavilion, a loud burst of applause arose spontaneously for the mother and Jane Fowler exhibitor, handler, breeder, and midwife extraordinaire . . .A star was bornNIDH9POMeMNWNSWe have not yet found just the right home forAm.

Neither was more than 6 Vi inches tall. So both these little ones had to jump almost twice their height. Dixie never had any difficulty with the jumps. For a picture of Timmie jumping, see page 54 of the Anniversary Issue. As I felt then, and still feel, it is foolish to show a tiny bitch incapable of natural reproduction in conformation notice I said "foolish," not "wrong" Dixie was shown in breed only three times, to support the entry at two A.P.C. Specialties where she was 1first in Puppy class and 2 first in Open Bitch class and at the first specialty of the Bay Colony Pom Club where she was third in Open Bitch class. I believe she could finish in today's competition.The bottom line is this In view of the many Ch.C.D.X. Poms through the years, I believe it is the difficulty of the Utility exercises and the determination and perseverence necessary to achieve a U.D., rather than the height of the jumps, that deters owners of Champion Poms from going on to the Utility degree.Sophie H.
