Queenaire Whizzle Stik. I needed an outcross so I called Dudley Roach of Queenaire Kennels. To my surprise he told me he had a 1 Vi year old male that I could use with all my bitches. He was sired by Ch. Model's Bit-O-Whiz and out of his bitch Ch. Queenaire Bright Promise. Thus Whizzle came to Hawaii and out of quarantine in December 1984. What a gorgeous little Pom he is, with a beautiful bright orange color, short back, sound body and fantastic showmanship.Whizzle's first show was the Orchid Isle Dog Fanciers in Hilo. He showed like a pro and got his first 3 points by going Group 1 over some lovely specials. He finished his championship in seven shows. His record now stands at 2 Group 1s, 1 Group 2, 2 Group 3s, 3 BISS. He is handled by Yvette Oganeku, who has shown him to perfection. I want to thank all the judges who have seen the fine qualities of this Pom and mostly I want to thank Yvette for her TLC.6101016222224303032404652586268707274OwnerJosephine Ching 2829 Booth Rd.

It was5POMERANIAN REVIEWproduced an occasional shy individual that required a bit of extra effort to get the confidence needed.I have been accused and rightly so of training my dogs in the ring. It is true that you cannot really simulate ring experience in any other way matches being an exception and so we come to the decision of when to begin showing our rising star. There are definitely two view points here as so many times we do start them too early, not allowing for maturity. On the other hand, many puppies in our breed do earn their titles and then we can set them aside to mature and hopefully bring them out later as specials. Our breed does mature early, as compared with others.In closing I would like to encourage you to show your own dogs. We don't find as many professional handlers in our breed as in others and, by and large, I think the judges are looking at the dogs. Obviously, some individuals may not be as expert as the handlers, and it may take a bit longer, but there is no feeling quite like getting that win yourself, based on the merits of your dog. This is certainly not to put down the handlers, as there are certainly many times when we need them and we do appreciate the expert touch. There is however no substitute for the thrill of doing it yourself.I hope this New Year brings that fulfillment of your dreams in Pomeranians.I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate these top obedience Poms and their handlers. The research for this is provided by Mary VickersTop Novice Alice Lessard with Lessard's Natsu Takara CD, Average Score 197.Top Open Diane Bauman with Noah's Abra Ka DabraCDX, average score 199.1.Top Utility Alice Lessard with Lessard's Little Geisha Girl UD, average score 193.PRESIDENT'SMESSAGESue Goddard Box 540, Rt. 2 Opelousas, LA 70570 318 543-6622dThis will be my last opportunity to send a message. I have very much enjoyed my term of office. It has been made easy by the wonderful support of my fellow officers and Board both years. Interest in our breed and club is exciting, as evidenced by the many new members. I hope that many of you will be able to join us in New York for our Specialty. This is your opportunity to be heard with your suggestions and what a great chance to see Poms from all over and meet their owners in person.I have been breeding Poms for 26 years now and I really do feel that the quality overall is superior. As breeders we are still arguing the same issues as in the early stages of our club. We still disagree on size, color, etc., but these are the differences that occur because we are different people with differing points of view. Personally I don't think I would want all Poms to look exactly the same. I can appreciate Poms of different types. They can be quite different and still fit our Standard. We all know that it isn't easy to produce an outstanding Pom, but perhaps it is this challenge that makes it so exciting when we occasionally produce a puppy with that "special" look. I like to see puppies at 4 to 5 months of age the scraggly period as this is an opportunity to see the worst and the best and really begin to evaluate the future show potential. What you see at this point rarely improves. A long bodied puppy never gets short a bad bite will not end up perfect. Sometimes they do improve, but what you see at this stage still remains although a heavy coat may offer camoflage for many faults. The puppy that looks really good at this stage generally will be a show dog. Now we just hope a problem doesn't develop in the next few months and that important personality is right. Puppies are affected by their environment but I have had puppies raised exactly the same, from the same litter, and stillThe top obedience Pom defeating 473 dogs and including two High in Trials in Noah's Abra Ka Dabra CDX.Tops in Junior Showmanship is Rachel McKee.

Marlin Presser, NCPC president, was the grounds chairman and, through his affiliation with Golden Valley Kennel Club, provided us with great accommodations at the Stanislaus Fairgrounds as well as drafting assistance from GVKC members to help with ring set-ups and providing our super ring steward, Ramona Boulter. Behind the man is the woman remembered all the details that husbands sometimes usually forget. Eight days ago, Marlene's mother had by-pass heart surgery, so amid all of the show plans for NCPC and GVKC, Marlene had daily visits to her mother's ICU bedside. NCPC wishes Mom a full recovery. And through it all, Marlene made it.Dudley Roach was able to have all our printing done at such substantial savings that our Treasury will look ever so much better than we anticipated. Mentioning Dudley's name leads me right to trophies. Because of the friendship Dudley and Wanda enjoy with Estelle McDonald of Mac's Pomeranians in Dallas, Texas, Mrs. McDonald most graciously handmade and supplied NCPC with very original trophies. They included a grooming coat, Pom appliqued ringside quilts, furry cuddler pillows and corduroy bean bags. What a lovely lady Estelle is to donate these much appreciated trophies for our Specialty. They really made the competition sharper as everyone wanted to win one of the unique prizes. We can't begin to express an adequate thank-you for your time, talent and generosity, Estelle.Decorations Chairman, Cheri Fleming displayed them so attractively on the trophy table which was covered in navy blue as a background for the predominately beige and ivory trophies. She placed the two white china plates with hand-painted Pom heads by Anna LaFortune from the San Diego Pom Club against the cuddlers and the tall silver tone Bud Knapp Memorial Challenge Trophy in the center, adding touches of harvest colors with turkeys, pilgrims and silk flowers. In front of the trophy risers lay all of the beautiful rosettes. The judge's table followed the same color scheme of navy and harvest colors.

Best of Winners and Best Opposite went to the beautiful puppy bitch Sweeps winner, Cherlyn's Ain't She Sweet, handled so nicely all day by 16 year old Keri Bergerson. Both young ladies, puppy and handler, held up through the long, tense afternoon to reach that exciting moment for 5 points. It's admirable to see a young team maintain such composure.After Parade of Champions and Obedience Title Holders, we headed for the punch bowl and more hors d'oeuvres. Hard working Hospitality Chairman Nancy Parker and her equally busy committee, Doris Weaver and Sue Chewning, set the dining tables, placed the food on the buffet and dinner was served NCPC is blessed with great cooks. We had spicey Chinese Cashew-chicken and rice, lasagna, pecan pies, salads, pudding, baklava, bundt cake, quiche nibbles, two kinds of potato salads, rolls, zuccini bread and more well, it was all there and more and everyone ate and ate and ate. During dinner, our president gave me the pleasure and honor of presenting the judges a token of our appreciation a California selection of nuts and, of course, a California wine. I also had the priviledge of presenting NCPC member awards. Our club statistician, Ruth Doton, has worked so hard to compile the stats for the last two years. For 1984 and 1985, most Best of Breeds went to Lillian Muller's top dog, Ch. Sungold's Cay Caballero with Best Opposite going to the Roach's Ch. Queenaire's Glory Huntreess, 1984 and 1985. Ruth Dotson received the 1984 Exhibitor's Award for showing most Poms to a championship. The 1985 Exhibitor's Award went to Marlin and Marlene Presser. The 1984 Breeders Award championship was given to Wanda and Dudley Roach with the same award for 1985 going to Pressers. We are proud of our recipients and admire the hard work and dedication it takes to reach these heights. Congratulations to all of you.People lingered quite a while after dinner just enjoying each other. And that's what it's really all about people with a common interest having fun together.I mustn't close without a message to our editor, Phyllis Ripley. First, thank you forfour wall plugs, plus in nearby member motorhomes, the air was filling with tempting aromas that made one want to eat then and there. But, dinner would have to waitThe show officially opened at 1 p.m. with catalog sales moving briskly. Sue Chewning handled that while her young daughter, Tina sold soft drinks to wash down the snacks on the buffet table. It was that kind of day, filled with sunshine, temperatures in the mid 70's the perfect California weather to welcome our exhibitors from the winter states. The Untalans and Jean Schroll came from wet and chilly albeit, lovely Oregon. Cheryl Bergerson and daughter Keri arrived from freezing, snowy Chisago City, MN with a wind chill factor of minus 20, and Norma Creider and Kathy Bucher left 60 degree weather in Oklahoma to warm up a bit more in California. Judge Dolores Watts and husband, Dave came from wintery Maryland, while Judge Roland Adameck landed here, leaving 85 degree but wet Hawaii. One can conclude that California put her best "weather-foot" forward for the out of state visitors. The rest of the exhibitors and spectators arrived from up and down the state, eager to begin the competition at 3 p.m.Sweepstakes Judge Dolores Watts had a small, but precious entry of 6 pretty babies. At dinner she laughingly remarked that her new theme song should be "They're Either Too Young or Too Old." We just didn't have enough youngsters ready to compete, but Mrs. Watts patiently watched the six puppies ambulate around the ring and gently handled each one, finally selecting the 9-12 puppy bitch, Cherlyn's Ain't She Sweet, owned by Cheryl Bergerson as Best in Sweepstakes. Best Opposite was awarded to Silva's Hurcules, a cute orange 6-9 puppy dog owned by Mary Silva.Then Roland Adameck launched into his formidable task of finding one of forty Poms for Best of Breed. The entries were all groomed so nicely and presented well by each exhibitor. The room was quiet and the spectators most attentive as the classes were placed. I think everyone really got excited when the specials arrived in the ring along with WD and WB and came under the final scrutiny of the judge. As Mr. Adameck was to comment during dinner, "BOB competition was filled with real quality."

They are subscribers and have fallen in love with the breed through the presentations pictured in each issue. It was their first time ever at a dog show. Tom and lane are delightful folks and we are so pleased they drove 120 miles to look at the Poms. We invited them to join in all the festivities and hope they had as much fun being with us as we had enjoying their company. They are planning on getting their first Pom, a spayed bitch pet, in the near future. I say first Pom because no one ever owns just one So, Phyllis, thank you for continuing to show our Poms so well to the public and winning new friends for the breed. And to Tom and Jane, come see us often.In hope I haven't forgotten anyone for contributing so much to the success of the Specialty of course, committee, members, exhibitors, judges, spectators and our beloved dogs all made the 1986 event memorable beyond our expectations.

Thanks also to conformation judge Grace Moran and Obedience judge, Ruth Tabaka for your time and consideration. Hopefully we will be able to have our much-sought-after point showAlthough many of us were very disappointed in the announcement that the Review would remain at four issues a year, several did breathe a sigh of relief. The old adage "If you want something done, ask a busy person" holds true most of the time, but not necessarily all the time. The past Fall has been a very busy time with doggy events. Our fourth birthday was held at the hospitable Watts' home. The conformation match had 19 entries. Diane Ward's Moe-Best Two Times A Man took Best Adult and locked paws with Bess Robert's Tony as Best Puppy. The cute puppy emerged as Best in Match. Meanwhile obedience was taking place. Since the majority of entries were in the advanced level, it drew a large audience. Extremely eye-catching are Poms doing jumps, retrieving, scent articles and those flashy go-outs.

Classic example of excellent "heeling."Occasionally, one of the dogs will escape and will disappear for hours. I have been know to walk all over the neighborhood at 200 a.m. trying to locate the critter. This has to be the "search and find" drill. For some reason this particular exercise takes a long time to complete. Sometimes I can't find him, so I usually return home and practice the fabled "long sit."True, i have a long way to go before I'm ready to enter a show in obedience, and I'm really not good conformation material. But many problems have been straightened out. It was all a matter of training.From "Whatamatta", Mattaponi KC Newsletter.orThe Well-Trained Handlerby Ernie ConferI used to go away for a day or two and not orry about exactly when I'd get back home. Jo longer is this the case. I've been trained ito returning home at a regular time. Is this he "recall" I keep hearing about Sometimes, dien I get home and have tended to the dogs, m so tired all I want to do is fall into bed. Vould this be classified as the famous "drop in recall"Often I get direct commands from the dogs. Carrying around the water bucket and langing it around is the command to fill it vith nice, cool water. Should I forget a food lish, carrying this back and forth, making sure t is dropped on a rock several times, is the ignal for feeding time. Surely these are the 'retrieving exercises" I've read about.Not too long ago I was invited to spend the veekend in the city with some friends, but I rouldn't due to no dog-sitter. I couldn't take hem along, and I can't afford to board all five f them. Does this count as a "stay" ommand 1 view it as a "long stay."When the guys want out, a severe jangling af the crate door or run door, coupled with some loud, frustrated whines, will have me aut down my coffee cup, butt out my cigarette, and go down to free them. Surely I am following their "jump on command" order.When I visit the local Giant, I am always spending a little on me and more on them for dog food. A loaf of bread, a pound of hamburger, and a six pack is small compared to 50 pounds of Purina. Without doubt this is the "Take, hold, and carry" exercise that Pearsall described.As one of the dogs and I go for a walk, there surely comes a time when he will discover some specimen of flora that needs to be watered often referred to as the pause that refreshes. So, as this is being accomplished, I am required to stop walking. Isn't this the command to "stand" If this break is merely to check out the various smells, this might qualify as a "stand for examination" or maybe a "wait." I'm not sure about this one.When off lead, there always seems to be a cat nearby, which is great fun is chase. The dog takes off, and there I go following, noEighteen Shows Laterby Betty J. MersmanToday's the day, a leg for sure,I'll see how much she can endure. Retrieving is my specialty,Today I'll do it sloppily.I'll sit there looking so confused, And then I'll act like I'm abused. When she is just about to faint, I'll run and grab it, dumb I ain't.Now on the recall I won't drop,Until her heart's about to stop.My heeling's good, if somewhat quaint Today I'll stick to her like paint.I like the jumps so I'll be swift, And do a front without a drift. The finish I'll do just half way, Can't have her getting too blaze.While on the sit, I'll yawn and frown, I'll bet she'll think I'm going down.I know that's next, I'm not a sap,I'll lay right down and take a nap.We got a leg, now if I may,I'll let you know t'was planned that way.

With this club hosting the National next year, this is a must for your calendar. We had perfect weather, a lovely trip, lots of doggy talk and most of all a great welcome. You can be sure we will come again, if only for the fun we had apart from the dogs. So to all who prepared this Specialty, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You bet we will be back. To the rest of you who want the best, go to this Specialty next year. You will receive a big Southern California welcome.As for San Diego, you can eat yourself silly with all the wonderful restaurants. Then there are the palm trees and flowers to enjoy.

Two Pomeranian clubs, ipporting each other in their efforts to -ovide a stage for us to exhibit our omeranians. Those of you who visited here st summer saw the spirit of friendship isplayed by most members of both clubs. Recently two matches were held, a B match i Portland, sponsored by the Columbia omeranian Club, and supported by those lembers of the Puget Sound Pom Club who ere able to make the trip. One week later, le Puget Sound Club sponsored their second -OA match. The Columbia Pom Club lembers entered in force. The imminent rrival of puppies to two breeders and a plane earing a husband home to Portland kept iree exhibitors away, but some of their Poms 'ere sent with friends. Both matches were ery successful. I see no reason why the Puget ound Club should not be approved by AKC to old a Pom Specialty in Seattle soon. The club jporters will be announcing the match sults, but I must congratulate the Junior landlers, John Gassaway and Misty Brani. he obedience exhibitors, Julie Lindgren, inda Gallacher and Janet Knukle all had fun. inet's black, Trivial Pursuit CD especially heered the onlookers with his spirited erformance. The judges at both matches, .uth Tabaka Obedience and Junior Handling irace Moran Conformation, PSPC and Edna wift CPC performed their duties carefully airly winning praise from all who exhibited nd those who just observed.There were two who drove up from Portland or the PSPC A-OA match who will long emember their broken "no-traffic-ticket" Iriving records. One who has never had a icket in his thirty year history, and another ho hasn't had a ticket in 20 years, both were locked by flying aircraft, withing 10 minutes if each other on the same stretch of freeway, it 10 to 12 miles over the 55 mile an hour peed limit. Sorry, guys.See you at ringside.once again.To Beverly and Jim Griffith, a special thanks.Tom and Jessie StephensEDITOR'S NOTEThere are a great many really considerate people in this Club who call and let me know that their ads or articles are going to be a day or two late. Some even call and let me know their ads are coming. I want you to know how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness. It really helps me organize my time and thoughts.There is one special lady you all should know about, however. For all of you who enjoy reading the material about obedience, you should know how very dedicated Mary Vickers is in compiling so much of this material and then sending it along to me. On top of everything else, she called me to let me know that her material was coming but that it would be a little late as she was putting the finishing touches on it while she recovered from surgery. Thanks Mary, for your good work, dedication and most of all, your thoughtfulness. Hope your recovery has been complete and you are back heeling with the best of themHappy New Year to alliPOMERANIAN REVIEWCh.

Then we went to the Regional in Greensville, SC. Twinkle and I came in 5th.Teaching Utility to Twinkle was really quite easy. She is almost totally food trained. She seems to really enjoy doing most exercises. Her signals are crisp and quick. Send outs are almost dead straight. Unfortunately, her send outs don't always do her alot of good, considering her favorite way to bust is by taking the wrong jump. We finished up the UD in time to enter the Orlando Regional, but came in just behind tenth place in Super Dog.Twinkle finished her UD on a Saturday. The next day she earned 10 OTCH points. The following weekend she received 4 more. That ended our spring showing. We went into Fall with high hopes that quickly fell to deep depression 9 shows and 0 points. By this time I knew I was pregnant. I set my goal to finish her OTCH before the baby was born. My doctor said I could travel until 3 weeks before my due date. In November we finally started picking up points. She finished in May and Leigh Ann was born on June 14th The OTCH certificate arrived the same time as Leigh Ann's birth certificate.Trying to count the 100 needed points for the OTCH can be difficult for both the AKC and the owner. Late in the summer a letter came from the AKC recinding the title as more points were needed. Back on the show circuit for us.But I had wanted to breed Twinkle and had picked a stud. Twinkle cooperated and in January, 1986 whelped a litter of 2 males. Fidget is the one that I am keeping. His brother is in obedience classes with his new owner, a German Shepherd breeder-exhibitor. Weaning over, it was back to the shows to get those last points. Twinkle received her final points for the OTCH at Mississippi State Kennel Club on May 10, 1986.Twinkle and Fidget have been busy this summer promoting the Gaines Regional that will be held here in Memphis in 1988. Fidget has started his training and is doing Open work. Early in 1987 he will try for his CD and then it is on to St. Louis for the Regional in June. "I Fidget In Style" should live up to his continued on p. 54.A Pom puppy is irresistible My mother and irst saw Twinkle when she was six weeks 1 My mom went crazy over her. Twinkle me home with us.Who are we My mother, Twinkle's -owner, is Jo Ann Geeslin. She has a kennel, es obedience training classes here in emphis, Tennessee and shows in competi- 'e obedience. Fourteen years ago I entered e show ring with a miniature dachshund, though she was a real handful for a 12 year d girl, she did get her CDX. Since then I have it a CD on 2 miniature poodles, a toy poodle id a Golden. I have a CDX on a German lepherd. My mother and I share an OTCH on n-Jon, another miniature poodle. She lined him through his UD. At that time she id a bad back and couldn't travel a lot, so I irned about half of his OTCH points and she irned the other half. Jon won first place at e Gaines Classic in Minnesota teamed with y mother. The following year he received st place in open at the Atlanta Classic with e at his side.Now to get back to Twinkle. Leash breaking r was a real experience. It only took one ssion but l was convinced she would kill irself before we were through. She would in as hard as she could till she hit the end of le lead and turn a flip. After several loud ireams, she would jump up and run in the aposite direction turning another flip. This ent on for about fifteen minutes then it was ier. Twinkle was a natural in Novice, eeling was what she excelled in. She iceived a Dog World Award and 2 High in rials. We attended the Tulsa Regional and winkle took first place in the Novice ivision.Our training building at Dog Woods is icated on the back part of our property. It as under construction when Twinkle began pen training. Twinkle developed this strange abitof running. When working on retrieving, ie would take off and run toward the front, he first time she did this, I almost had a heart ttack. I chased her back to the building, .fter a few times I wised up and realized that I stood still she would circle back to me. his problem understood, training progressed.POMERANIAN REVIEWAdorable Pomeranians5^ i. l\iw m111Ch.

They will also receive a zero on the exercise if the dog receives an audible signal from the handler. Deductions are made for heeling errors, recall errors and movement toward the handler during the stand, down or sit sequence.The next exercise is the Scent Discrimination which is done and scored in two parts. In each of these two exercises the dog must select, by scent alone, and retrieve an article which has been touched by his handler. The articles are provided by the handler and consist of two sets, each comprised of five identical objects. One set is made of rigid metal and one of leather. All 10 articles are given to the judge, who designates one from each set. The remaining 8 articles are placed on the ground about 20 feet from the handler and dog.After watching the placement of the articles, the dog and handler turn around and remain facing away from them until directed by the judge to "Send your dog."Picking up one of the two designated articles the handler imparts his scent to the article by rubbing it in his hands. After he has scented it the judge will place it among the ones on the ground.When so directed, the handler will tell his dog to find the article, while he turns to face them. The dog must go briskly out, select the article with his handler's scent, and return it as in an Open retrieve exercise. This procedure is followed for the remaining article.The dog is scored zero if he fails to go out to the group of articles, returns a wrong article, or fails to bring the right article to the handler. Deductions are made for a dog which picks up a wrong article even if he puts it down again immediately, for a dog that is slow or inattentive, or that does not work continuously, and any deduction which would apply to the Novice recall or the Retrieve on the flat exercises.Following the Scent Discrimination is the Directed Retrieve.. In this exercise the handler provides three white gloves whichThe Utility Degree that illusive third ledience title where the dog must be able to ark with confidence away from his handler, ake discretionary choices and give his idivided attention.Most good trainers can count on a year or ore of training to prepare their dogs for tility competition. A trainer must make a m commitment of time, patience and irseverence. This is why only a very small ircentage of dogs who achieve CD or even 3X titles will ever earn their UD. Other tfalls include unsound dogs, lack of training perience on the part of the trainer, lack of a od class instructor, poor training equip- ent this list could go on endlessly.Those approaching Utility training for the rst time should watch the good toy ghandler teams at shows. These people in best recommend instructors in your area, perhaps will be willing to help you lemselves.I guarantee that the time spent training Dur dog to this level is well worth the ustration and disappointment you will icounter on the way. To truly appreciate the artnership between a Utility dog and its aineryou must experience it for yourself.The first exercise a dog will be doing in the tility ring is the Signal Exercise.The principal features of this exercise are le ability of the dog and handler to work as a jam while heeling, and the dog's correct isponses to the signals to stand, stay, drop, t and come.The judge directs the handler and dog irough an off leash heel pattern with the ddition of "Stand your dog." This is given at le end of a basic heel pattern while the andler and dog are walking at a normal pace, he handler gives the dog a signal to stand nd comes to a halt. The judge will then direct he handler to leave his dog. The handler ignals the dog to stay and walks to the ipposite side of the ring where he stands acing his dog. The judge will direct him to ignal the dog "down," "sit," "come," and return to heel." At no time during this ixercise will the handler speak to his dog. All lirection is by signal only.

Deductions are also made for slowness in going out, touching the jumps and any that apply to the Novice Recall.The final exercise is the Group Examination. Between 6 and 12 of the Utility class dogs are brought into the ring and positioned, side by side down the center. On order from the judge to "Stand your dogs" all the handlers stand or pose their dogs. On further command from the judge they command their dogs to "Stay" and walk forward to the end of the ring where they turn and face their respective dogs.The judge will approach each dog in turn, from the front, and examine it. He will go over each dog with his hands, as in dog show judging, except that he will not examine teeth or testicles.When all the dogs have been examined, and after the handlers have been away from their dogs for at least 3 minutes, the judge will order them to return. The handlers return, each walking around the back of his dog to the heel position, after which the judge will release them.A dog is scored zero for displaying shyness or resentment, moving a minor distance from the place it was left, going over to another dog, sitting or lying down before the handler has returned, growling or snapping at any time during the exercise, repeatedly whining or barking. Deductions are made for a dog moving its feet, or a dog that sits or lies down after the handler returns to heel position.ust be approved by the judge.

The handler turns to face the signated glove and sends his dog to retrieve All three gloves are visible to the dog at this int, and he will be scored a zero for not turning the correct one. He will also be ored zero if the handler gives any additional jmmands or signals, or if the dog does not directly to the designated glove.Deductions are made for a handler who erturns, or touches the dog or uses ccessive motions while turning to face the ove. Recall and Retrieve on the flat eductions also apply.The final individual exercise has two parts, is Directed Jumping. The high jump and bar imp are placed midway in the ring at right ngles to the sides of the ring. For omeranians the heights of the jumps are set t Vi the dogs height at the withers.The handler, from a position on the center ne of the ring and about 20 feet from the .imps, shall stand with his dog sitting in heel osition. On order from the judge, the andler will command his dog to go forward, t a brisk trot or gallop, to the opposite side of he ring. When the dog reaches the end of the ing the handler commands him to sit. The log must stop and sit with his attention on the landler.The judge will designate which jump is to ie taken first by the dog. The handler then ommands andor signals the dog to return to lim over the designated jump. The dog sits in ront of the handler on his return and is then lirected to heel position.This procedure is followed for the second ump, which shall be the opposite of the one aken in the first part of the exercise.The dog will receive zero for the following anticipating the handler's command to go aut, not leaving the handler, not going out between the jumps, not stopping on ommand and remaining at least 10 feet oeyond the jumps, anticipating the handler's command to jump, not jumping as directed, knocking the bar off the uprights and climbing or using the top of the high jump for aid in going over.Little Super Star, from p. 46.name as he follows in his mom's pawprints.There is an unfortunate ending to this story. Twinkle died unexpectedly early this Fall. There is not much to say. She lives on through her get. Twinkle taught me many things.

But she didn't quite believe it until the crowd left the gallery after the Poms were finished And who said Poms aren't crowd pleasersRoxy and Cupid also finished American titles. Roxy completed her UD with scores of 194V2, 18512 and 187. Once again she had two 2nd placements and one 3rd, placing only behind dogs who have OTCHs. Great going Cupid finished her American CD with 190, 190Vz and 192V2. These are all very solid, good scores. As you can see though, things do get somewhat more difficult in Utility.

Now I can scarcely get out of a et clinic for 50."Prices certainly have gone up, as a vet fee sed to be as low as 2.00 5.00 was high. I emember when a Caesarian section from the iest vet in San Antonio was 10.00. He did xcellent surgery with such a tiny incision that t seemed impossible that a puppy could ome through it.

After Stylepepper lad attained his first Best in Show award, I vent up to 75.00, and Gladys predicted that I vould never get that much. The popular suppy price was 50.00, take your choice. We nad no national market and were entirely unknown. For that reason, we took summer vacations with a trailer full of Poms for several years to visit with breeders all over the country. When Bonner's Tiny Showstopper was sold for 150, it was such a high price that nobody would believe that a puppy could bring that much, so we took a picture of the check. Show fees were 4.00, and we paid quite a few for friends to encourage them to enter, as Poms were scarce and a three point major required four entries. Our lovely wolf-sable, Bonner's Smokypepper Chico, undefeated in the classes, made his championship in four shows, totalling 16.00. Smokypepper always conceded Best of Breed to Stylepepper, shown at the same time.

Pittsreprinted from Off-Lead Magazinechance of being intimidated by the judge approaching, especially a tall one. Additionally, there are also the problems of the handler's not being able to make good eye contact with the dog, and having to bend down or stoop to teach the sits and downs. These are just a few of the differences that a toy dog's size makes in training him for the obedience ring.Temperament also plays a part in a toy dog's training. How many trainers have ever noticed that in a beginners obedience class the toy dogs seem feistier, more spirited and maybe even a little more aggressive than do the larger ones. I'm fairly convinced that most toy dogs feel that the best defense in a good offense. Many, like the Yorkshire Terrier, carry the spirit of a true terrier in the body of a toy. So naturally when they are put into what seems to them to be a threatening position between a Rottweiler and a Doberman on the "Long Down," they are the ones most likely to either break, sit up, or whine in an attempt to seem the more dominant of the three. By careful conditioning utilizing steady, larger dogs, the handler has to teach the toy dog to ignore his natural instincts and convince him that he will be safe among the larger dogs in the group exercises.Motivating a toy dog can be a trick in itself. Because their size doesn't make them as much of a nuisance when misbehaving as a larger dog, toy dogs aren't required to do the things expected of big dogs in the average home. It's so much easier for the owner to pick them up, rather than to discipline them when they commit a no-no. This attitude on the part of the ownerhandler creates a real leadership confrontation when the tiny pet is suddenly required to do things he doesn't want to do in the obedience ring. The handler has to convince the toy dog that the command will be carried out. This can sometimes be just as hard on the handler, who maybe isn't totally convinced that his little friend really has to do this exercise, or secretly thinks it's so cute when the toy dog decides to do his own thing in the ring. Naturally the dog picks up on the handler's vacillation in determination, which makes the situation even worse. So the continued on p. 90.Until I had the opportunity of working withfriend's German Shepherd, I had no idea ow much harder I was having to work in -aining my own Yorkshire Terriers for bedience competition. Subsequently at bedience trials and matches I began talking o the other trainers with toy breeds and earned that their experiences and frustrations ere similar to mine. We all came to the onclusion that it's a case of inverse rroportions, i.e., the smaller the dog, the larder the handler had to work. One landlerjudge remarked that an exhibitor hould get an extra 10 points just for having he courage to take a toy dog into the ringWhy is it so much harder to train a toy dog or competition First of all, there is so little nformation available on the unique problems ^countered in training toy dogs. Unfortun- itely, most obedience instructors have had ittle opportunity to work with smaller breeds, ind so aren't able to give the ownerhandlers suggestions they need to help solve some of he problems only toy dogs seem to have. Dften the toy dog ownerhandler has to rely Dn a hit-or-miss program of training to achieve results and scores he or she wants in the obedience ring.The basic differences in training a large vs. toy dog seem to be size, temperament, motivation and attention to detail. The first thing a handler of a toy dog notices is that, because of his dog's tiny size, there is a lot less margin for error in the obedience exercises. For instance, it can be a problem just trying to keep the toy dog in the proper "Heel" position. In some tiny breeds, just an inch forward or backward can make a great deal of difference in just how much in "heel" position the dog looks to the judge. On the "Recall," a toy dog must sit a lot closer proportionately to the handler for a qualifying score than a larger dog, who can be easily touched by its handler without having to be quite so close. The toy dog has to be careful on the "Figure 8" to keep from getting chomped in the jaws by the handler's heels, and therefore is more likely to heel wide out of self-protection. On the Examination" the toy dog has a much greaterStand for6POMERANIAN REVIEWEmcees PomeraniansEmcees Solid Gold TucoaCongratulations to Sharon Masnick of Golden Aires Kennel on their new Champion Tico Tico, a Solid Cold Diamond son, and wishing her the best with Emcee's Jipsy Gold, a Ch.

The most important is that it gives me a different perspective on methods other than my own. At most clinics I have attended I have brought back many things to incorporate in my classes andor use on my own dogs. I have never felt that my time was wasted because I brought back with me at least one or two ideas. Most of the clinics l have attended have been extremely educational and I have received more than my money's worth.Education is the most important commodity from a clinic but a wonderful by-product in the comaraderie offered by people from all over the area. Where else can you go and talk dogs and obedience through breakfast, lunch and dinner Problems are discussed and someone always has a possible solution.You also get a chance to meet people you have heard of and seen but have never officially met. This weekend I met Barbara Brenneman who has the first OTCH St. Bernard ever. She was especially interesting and it was great to see Brandi work does that dog ever hussle.I also used this weekend as an opportunity to socialize Dallas. Something interesting about this 99 of the people saw this 8 week old Pom puppy and wanted to know what it was. They had never seen a young Pom puppy before he made lots of friends for our breed.What do you folks feel about clinics What have you learned from them Do you enjoy and learn from them or do you think they are a waste of time Write and let me know.Until next time, all take care.Ah, life is never dull The last few months lave been extremely hectic sound familiar Things like one daughter borrowed my car, lad an accident no one was injured and the nsurance company totalled it therefore, I lad to go out and buy a new one right away because insurance on the old car was ancelled and the insurance company took it away. Another daughter was married lovely day, lovely bride however, this was the same day Roxie's first litter and mine was due. The vet was on standby and I had a very serious talk with Rox. She was told to wait until I got home from the reception and she did\ When Bill and I left everything was fine. We returned home at 900 p.m. and she was in labor. On Sunday morning she had one little boy who has been named Razzle Dazzle Music Man, "Dallas." Proud papa is Skip Piazza's gorgeous Ch. Bell's Houston Star Performer.I have a question this is a switch for all you obedience people out there. If you can't attend a dog show, what is the best way to spend a weekend If you said "obedience clinic" you are right on That's what I did this weekend and it was terrific.Bayshore Dog Training Club in New Jersey sponsored a two day working clinic with Judie Howard. Judie is from California and, as far as I know, this is the first time she has been to this part of the country to do her clinic. She is the only person to have five OTCH's on four different breeds a Golden, 2 Poodles, a Sheltie, and a Dobe. Judie runs her own obedience school in California under the name of Arydith. She has also been writing a very interesting column published in Front Finish for the last ten years. If you get a chance to attend her clinic and meet this nice lady, do so. It's wonderfully educational and fun.This seems to be the appropriate time to answer some questions regarding clinics.7POMERANIAN REVIEWK XK XK XK XK x K XKXGuys N Gals Pomeraniansi[ ^ ."V ^T Ch.

Although Roz still enjoys collies she jumped on the bandwagon to get a "real" obedience dog. Sheltara's Bel Serena CDX is one Sheltie that graces the Coltz home. There is also another sheltie, Samantha, who brings with her an interesting story. As you can see Roz, Jessie and Barbara Young Jabil have been friends for a long time. On a visit to them, Jessie asked for some help in getting Samantha to retrieve the dumbell. Jessie had put the CD on her, but was getting frustrated with the dumbell. Roz took Samantha back to New York and taught her Open and Utility. Roz then showed her and Samantha is now Mt.

Many times the only connection to them is by Review ads or scanning the AKC Show Awards. Such a person is Roz Goltz.Roz is a mystery. She mainly shows in the northeast and there aren't too many Poms in obedience up there. As her ads attest, she always does well. Speaking of her ads, they are really neat, carrying a logo of a musical scale. Now what does music have to do with dogsTo find out about Roz you must go back to the beginning. Picture a child living in an apartment in the big city. Television programs that drew children were "Rin Tin Tin" and "Lassie." Roz was impressed by the agility of Rin Tin Tin, but the graceful, intelligent collie became part of her dreams. Pestering her mother for a collie was soon halted by the indisputable fact that a large dog such as a collie would be difficult to keep in a large city. Perhaps someday when they moved became a comforting thought.Years later, many, many years later, the Goltz family moved to suburbia. Roz immediately got Casey, a collie. Roz and Casey roamed hill and dale learned a few tricks and eventually found their way into the obedience ring for the CD. But in between, Roz became captivated by Poms. The Pom was what she wanted to enter in the conformation ring. Contact was made with Joy Brewster and through her, Jessie Young and then came a young pup named Timmy. Roz adored him. Timmy went on to earn his CD and 11 points. Then he died.

Classes are held once a week, whereas training occurs every day. It is relatively easy to leave the classroom behind once you know what you are doing.Morris is a Pom that most of the Pom obedience world is watching. Having his championship and CDX, when he obtains his UD title, he'll be the second Pom in our history to do so. Presently he has two legs toward the UD, but when the third will occur is a question. Roz was having many problems showing Morris in utility. Long time Pom exhibitor, Gladys Dykstra saw the two at a show and told Roz that Morris was ill. One can imagine that Roz did not believe Gladys. After all, she lives with the dog. But looking over the situation and realizing that Poms keep trying to please when asked to work, Morris was vetted. Gladys was correct and as soon as he is better they'll attempt that thirdRagtime Band is now beginning his obedience areer.Roz will easily tell you that she wants a conformation dog first and then an obedience fog. All of the dogs in the Goltz household have been owner handled in the breed ring. Mthough temperaments, personality and style differ between dogs of the same breed, it is not unusual for someone in obedience to try a different breed. Roz has had success with Samantha, the sheltie, but it is of the record with Poms that she is proudest. She has 34 placements with them and 2 HIT'S in the US, 3 in Canada and 1 in Bermuda. Having different size dogs in obedience has proven to be a challenge. One has to adjust footwork, arms, corrections and body language with each different dog.The biggest problems with toy dogs seem to be related to walls, shiny floors, high grass and poor ring conditions such as holes, ripped and rippled mats and even attacks by other dogs. All breeds have problems, but everything becomes exaggerated to a 3 or 4 pound dog. Instructors who have never worked such small ones do not fully understand these problems. Although Roz has trained with many illustrious obedience trainers and has gained many interesting concepts, she now prefers to train by herself. You can imagine that when you have reached a certain level of knowledge and expertise, formal classes become obsolete. It is extremely difficult for a knowledgable trainer to be held back by unconcerned beginners in novice. Roz has found herself more concerned about her Pom's safety when a larger beginning dog lunges toward her, than concentrating on the instructor. Most trainingleg.Roz won't say which Pom is her favorite. She will easily say that her proudest moment was a three day weekend. Each day brought a thrill as she and Morris received first one HIT with a 199, then a 200 HIT and on the third day in Canada, a third HIT with a 198. That weekend and that record of three consecutive HIT'S is hard to beat.Obedience comes in handy for events other than trials. Roz's collies have had modeling jobs, having been on the covers of HERO dog food, PURINA, BUTCHER BONES and the like. Rhythm was in TIME magazine last September and Pom Allison also modeled. Unfortunately, they don't use Poms too often, but if they want to, Roz will be right there. Proving their versatility, the Poms have also been in demonstrations at schools, nursingcontinued on p. 90.POMERANIAN REVIEWGtcoi tm Kmueti, 'Reg'd.\JH s-'j JiM'st z4\Jw- k1rOVARIETY GROUP I FIRSTROANOKE KENNEL CLUB SEPTEMBER 1986to sr SABRINAf\Vn rICh.

Excellent ring stewards, one to assemble the dogs and one to manage the ring. They check the absentees, get your ribbons and trophies ready and mark your book This certainly frees up the judge's time to allow him to judge additional dogs. They expect you to be able to judge 250 dogs in a day. I hope no one from AKC reads this.The Breed standards carry no disqualification clauses. Where we disqualify, they penalize. The only obvious disqualifications for all Breeds are for monorchids and cryptorchids. The classes for the Specialty shows were Minor Puppy Dog Puppy Dog Junior Dog Intermediate Dog Australian Bred Dog Open DogLike England there is no Specials class for Champions. On this day there were Champions entered in the Intermediate, Australian Bred and Open classes. This can, as you might imagine, make it quite difficult to win a Challenge Certificate CC. To complete your Championship in Australia you must win 100 points. To win points you must win a CC. There are of course a dog CC and a bitch CC on the day. You may win points and a CC at a show where you have no competition if the judge considers your dog worthy. The greatest number of points you can earn at an event of this nature is five. The maximum number at one show is 25. You can earn this number by winning a group, going Best in Show or winning a Championship Specialty show. You must win your CC's under four different judges and must earn a minimum of four CC's on the way to your championship.At the Cocker Specialty my BOB was a champion while my BOS was a non champion entered in the Open Class. At the English Setter show both my CC winners litter mates were non titled dogs entered in the Open class.The Australians set their dogs down wellWhen I was contacted to judge in Australia he Paul Hogan commercials were coming hick and fast on television. I was ready to put mother shrimp on the barbie. To me Australia lad always been a land of mystery and ntrigue. I had flown with a group of 'Wstralians in WWII and had been fascinated by their tales of the wonders of the land DOWN UNDAH.It was great to discover that the Australians are still an open, trusting group of people whose love of life and adventure equals our own. They were warm, hospitable and willing to share any and everything with you. My wife Doris and I felt very comfortable indeed. Among our travels Australian people rated right up there with our experiences in Scandanavia. Let me give you an example. For our last night in Australia we had flown to Melbourne from Adelaide to catch our flight home. We elected to stay in a motel near the airport for convenience. Doris wanted to go into Melbourne for dinner and some last minute shopping. We asked the motel manager how to get into town on the tram. She wouldn't hear of our taking the tram and offered us the use of her car for the night. Now she didn't know us from Adam's off Ox, only that we were Yanks and her guests. When was the last time you had an American hotel manager offer you that kind of hospitalityWhen I first accepted the invitation to judge the Specialties of the American Cocker Spaniel Club of Victoria and the English Setter Association and to do three seminars, little did I know what was in store for me. The communications with the two clubs in Victoria and the Cundog club of South Australia went well. Everything was arranged.I had contacted my publisher and had the appropriate number of books dispatched to be used in the seminars well, I am sure you can guess the rest. Murphy's Law reigned supreme. For those of you who do not know about old Murphy, his chief law is "If anything can go wrong, it will." .The shows themselves went off like7POMERANIAN REVIEWWindjammer fI], i K.tMI rMMrv _k APrecious Petit Touch of RipleCh.

It can be as great a hindrance to the development of a breed as the Great Barrier Reef. The need for new, producing bloodlines, such as in the American Cocker Spaniel, has made it necessary to import. The cost of purchasing a dog in the USA, shipping it to England the only route open till only just recently and then on to Australia is almost prohibitive. The English quarantine lasts for six months an added one month certified residency outside of quarantine in the U.K. and a two month quarantine in Australia. The newly approved Hawaiian route includes four months quarantine in Hawaii one month certified residency outside quarantine and four months quarantine in Australia. Dogs may be freely shipped back and forth to New Zealand from Australia since New Zealand has the same quarantine regulations. The regulations differ for other countries depending upon their rabies-free status.The Australian quarantine stations while well run and sanitary, are very difficult on the dogs psychologically. There is no visitation within the first 14 days and then only once a month thereafter. A dog has to have a sturdy temperament to handle this deprivation of TLC. The English and Hawaiian quarantine stations allow much more frequent visits and an opportunity to bathe and groom your dogs yourself.All right, back to Murphy's law. Just before leaving the USA the secretary of the Cocker club to whom the books had been sent informed me there was a customs strike and none of the books had been received although they had been sent two months previously. I immediately called my publisher and had him put a trace on the shipment and confirmed that they had indeed arrived in Australia and were sitting on the dock in Melbourne.A phone call to the club secretary waking her up at 4 a.m. I had calculated the 16 hour time difference backwards brought the information that a shipment of five books had arrived. Only 70 more to goUpon arriving in Melbourne we were informed that no other books had arrived and all inquiries had been met with bureaucratic double talk 5 days to the first seminar. Themd do a creditable job of grooming. Many of heir Breeds, like those in England, have a ougher look than we Americans are used to. Dur dogs tend to look smoother, less "rough." Durs can be considered show dogs only while n Australia they are a combination of howhunting dogs. It's like taking our Field English Setters and combining them with the 3ench show type.The management of Dog Show activities ind the registration of dogs is quite a bit different in Australia. There is no organization ike the AKC. There is a sort of loose onfederation among the various States in a National organization but the power and ontrol lies with the States. In Australia the state is supreme. There are six states and in Doth Dog Shows and in governance, they have a great deal more power than is granted to our states. The six states are New South Wales, with Sydney as its largest city Victoria, with Melbourne as its largest city South Australia, with Adelaide being its largest city Western Australia, with Perth as its major city and Queensland, with Brisbane as its largest city. There is also the Island of Tasmania. The total population of Australia is about 15 million with most of the people clustered along the seacoast. Sydney has about 312 million, Melbourne about 2VE million and Adelaide about 1 million people.The state level organization approves requests for shows and licenses judges. It also registers individual dogs. Once a dog has been registered with a state body and is sold to someone in another state, the dog must also be registered in that state. This can be time consuming and costly. Automation of all dog records nationwide has not been achieved as yet although that is a goal. The National body, which is made up of representatives of the states, does not have the kind of overall authority that the AKC does. I was told by a number of people highly placed in their Canine Associations that planning is going on toward a better coordinated scheme of things with the National body having more authority.Each local Canine Association functions within a larger body dealing with all kinds of livestock. Certainly their approach is different than ours. It seems to work but many Australians we talked to would like to see a streamlining of the paperwork.

Besides the Cockers and Springers that make their home at Wognan kennels, there is Angus. Angus is the very bright and very active 2Vi year old that bosses both Stephanie and David around. That kid talked a blue streak some of which I understood. What a bright and handsome man he will grow up toclub secretary redoubled her efforts to "free" the books before the deadline.The first show a Cocker Spaniel Specialty went off without a hitch. It was beautifully planned and executed. If only the judge could have done as well.The first seminar was scheduled the next day and no sign of the books. We had been informed that they had been released to the postal authorities and would be delivered post haste. Post haste did not include that day.The club secretary, faithful to her task, had arranged through others to have the proper audio-visual equipment on hand. Here comes Murphy again Through a mixup in signals, the person designated to pick us up from the hotel failed to arrive until the stroke of 11 a.m. This was the magic hour the seminar was to begin. We had planned to get there an hour ahead of time to check out the equipment and facilities. We arrived at 1115. My spirits were high and I wasn't worried because I had done this program on numerous occasions. All would be well as soon as I loaded my Kodak carousel trays and sorted out my overhead transparencies you could be sure of it.As I walked into the room I glanced at the slide projector. Oh No I had never laid eyes on that kind of device before. It fed a single slide at a time, that is if we could figure out how to do it. To top it off the overhead projector turned out to be an opaque projector which could not show transparencies. My heart sank. I really felt sorry for the club secretary who had organized and planned everything so well only to have Gremlins creep in.Well . . . after sprinkling sand on the floor and doing a soft shoe routine while others struggled with the projector, the machine was adjusted so we could stagger through the program sans the taped portion. I tried to remember what I had recorded and, by and large, did a creditable job. The audience was very tolerant and understanding and asked a great many intelligent questions so we covered the ground as originally planned. I was bathed in a fine sweat when I finished and it wasn't all due to the heat. If it wasn't for my wife Doris and her assistance during the three seminars, I would have probably gone up the flue.be.Stephanie, a school teacher, is also the judge of four groups. For a young lady she has come a long way in the dog game. Her black Cocker, Sam Ch. Wognan Proper Posieden had been the top winning Gundog during his very active show career. He was a love. It turned out that I had put one of his sons Best of Breed.David loved raising dairy cattle and was actively involved in developing a breeding program on his microcomputer. We spent many an hour discussing computers and data processing since that's my field. For a self taught person, he could run rings around many programmers I know. He also writes tender and insightful poetry. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them.The time for the English Setter club seminar rolled around all too soon. We had been in constant touch with Debby Edwards, the secretary of the Cocker club, and she was building up a good head of steam over customs and postal officials. It seemed as though the books were still lost in the labyrinth of the customs house and had not been released to the postal authorities afterall.This seminar would go well I was sure of it because we had double checked everything beforehand. As we walked into the room we discovered the Kodak projector had blown its cork but not to worry someone who worked at a hospital nearby had gone for another. She arrived shortly with not one but two machines. Just as l became encouraged that the day had been saved, I discovered that these machines would accept only the 80 slide trays. My programs were 96 and 120 slides respectively and were encased in the larger capacity American style trays.Just as I pulled out my handkerchief to wipe away the tears of frustration, Doris leaped to the rescue. She transferred the slides into four trays and by hand kept the slides and tape inAt the conclusion of the program we bundled our luggage into Stephanie Rickard's Volvo station wagon and set off for her place8POMERANIAN REVIEWBlakes Pomeraniansproudly presents \'V AMlVirij___ ____ggpJj\ Pj rJ[ Vv_MBi hhh- r1 BEST 0PP. 5fXOF- lSHINEICh.

They came out to guide us to their place. After following them home I knew why they had not just given us directions to their place. It reminded me of the London Bobby saying, "You can't get there from here." Once ensconsed at the Maulden's Irish Setters and Cockers we talked into the wee hours of the night. June, also a school teacher, had to be at work during the week but Geoff had taken the week off to be our tour guide. We really appreciated his kindness and patience with the silly questions we Yanks asked. Also with petrol at 50 cents a liter about 2.25 a gallon there was quite an impact on their pocketbooks as we scooted all over South Australia.We attended a "Parade" that weekend. A "Parade" is like our sanction matches. It is here that applicant judges get to try out their wings. As I mentioned earlier, each state has its own way of licensing judges under the watchful eyes of a committee of breeders appointed by the local Kennel Association. In South Australia the governing body is called the South Australia Canine Association. The judge is appraised by a different committee at each of three "Parades" they must judge. These writeups go a long way in deciding how the applicant will fare before the governing body. In South Australia and in Victoria I'm not conversant with the rules of the other states a judge applies for a full group, not as the AKC has us do, breed by breed. Judges are also required to sit for written and oral examinations.The Adelaide seminar was sponsored by the South Australian Gundog Club, The Adelaide Hills Kennel Club and the PAL dog food company. It was held in a downtown hotel. Except for the books, which two days before the seminar we learned were still in customs and now customs was demanding a tarrif be paid, all was going well.The night of the seminar I autographed what seemed like hundreds of labels which were to be pasted in the books when they arrived. The seminar itself went off without a hitch. There were over 250 people in the audience and they had to pay to be there Hopefully, the clubs made a profit. All the equipment worked like a charm.

Those of you who have exhibited jnder me know that when I judge a Specialty ihow I do a running commentary on the dogs is I judge them. I try to spell out what I would ike to see improved and commend them on vhat is good. When I asked the club members vhat they though of this approach, they stood up and applauded. I was deeply appreciative. It seems they get little feedback from their judges perhaps the speed at which they have to judge to do 250 dogs in a day precludes that. Sometimes the judges give a mini critique to the three class placements but apparently they felt it did not go into enough depth to be helpful.The next day, being on our own, we decided to rent a car and drive to Adelaide along the seacoast. We had been told we could drive to Adelaide where the next seminar was to be held within a day if we pushed it. The total distance was about 750 km. We decided to take the coast route instead and drove the 1200 km in two days. Well, that was an experience.First of all l had one hell of a time getting used to driving on the left hand side of the road. As I cruised along enjoying the scenery, Doris would scream, "Move over to the right. I'm off the road." Sure enough there I was over on the left shoulder. I never did get the hang of it. That sort of made driving along the ocean cliffs an adventure. At least that's what I called it. Doris had another name for it. We spent the night at Warrnambool, a charming coastside town. There my wrong side of the road sense nearly did me in as a pedestrian. As I stepped off the curb I naturally looked the wrong way for oncoming traffic. After nearly getting hit twice I became somewhat gun shy. They say the older you get the more rigid you become .. . could they mean meAs we pushed on toward Adelaide on the second day it began to rain. A two lane road, poor visibility, and a tendency to go off the road to the left, made this part of the trip a bit dicey. To top it off as we rounded a curve I almost hit a Wallaby that jumped across the road. Now I know why so many Australian cars and vans have those big bumper guards on the front of their vehicles.Well, we finally pulled into the outskirts ofPOMERANIAN REVIEWCApoUoette Pomeranians c'. f n....4 W8 Wn1J\v 'V c ' Iprtia ftIHf'aWp ,'.'.i ' AAV- m1 Fiji.^'A ants 111O, IB 18 8 rTf si ,ifilffli ...er. i. innmMA .Sjjosi 3i a\ ill u\Ear.

To lessen the chance of such problems, the anal sac is filled with some material to increase its size and make it easier for the surgeon to manipulate Infection sometimes occurs postoperatively if part of the sac is inadvertently left behind. Complications are generally rare, and the surgery relieves the dog of the discomfort it has tried to lessen by its scooting behavior.rhe "Scooting" Dog Not on a Joy RideFrom Cornell University NewsIf you're seeing it for the first time, you might mistake "scooting" for some kind of peculiar canine locomotive game. But when a dog repeatedly drags its bottom across the floor it's almost always a sign of some physical distress. The "almost" can be dropped when the scooting is accompanied by attempts to lick or bite, to the point of self-laceration, at the hind quarters and anus. In the past, this behavior has frequently been blamed on worms, but while that may occasionally be the case, it generally is due to some other cause.A scooting dog should be taken to a veterinarian to be examined for fleas or other parasites, because flea bite allergy is sometimes the cause of the behavior. In females, inflammation of the vulva may prompt the animal to seek relief by scooting.When neither of the above conditions seems to be present, the veterinarian will want to examine the dog for an anal sac disorder. Among these, the most common is anal sacculitis, or infection on one or both anal sacs, the two small pouches on either side of the rectum. The sacs can become impacted, infected, or abcessed, or they can be the site of tumors. In many instances, episodes of diarrhea or soft stools are a tip-off to a developing anal sac condition. In addition, a burst abcess may lead to draining sores on the surface of the skin. Anal sac impaction and the pressure it places on the anal area may disturb the dog so much that it resorts to scooting or self-mutilation.Surgical removal of the anal sac and its duct is now considered the preferred method of treatment for many of these problems according to Dr. Dudley E. Johnston, of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Some simple anal sac ruptures are resolved by irrigating the sac with saline solution and treating the infection with antibiotics. But there is danger that the wound may heal too slowly. In that case, surgical removal becomes necessary.Surgery itself is usually without complication, although particular care must be takenNecessity The Dam of Inventionby Pam BartonSo, your "Free-Standing Hair Dryer Savings Account" had to be sacrificed in order to keep the children in shoes Those little elves never materialized and your dreams of finally owning that gleaming kennel accessory are down the tubes once more Take heart Consider a simple idea that will help, at least until the account has again renewed itself . . .For this technique, there are only two necessary ingredients that old hand-held dryer you are so sick and tired of and an article of clothing at least somewhat similar to what I refer to as my "doggin" suit originally intended for "jogging" no more time for that. Actually, any suitable pair of pants with an elastic waistband will do just fine. I'm lucky enough to have two such pairs in my wardrobe, both of which are a bit overly snug in the waistline probably because I'd rather "dog" than "jog" and the tighter the better in this case.My grooming table the bathroom counter egads is approximately at hip-level when I'm standing, which is how I prefer to handle the task of blow-drying my dogs. I'll confess here that I have not experimented with this idea while sitting. With the counter at this height it coincides with my waistline thus the waistband is the perfect position for trying this. Insert the handle of the dryer into the elastic waistband, with the air blowing toward the animal the other direction can prove extremely painful and voila You now have both hands free, and with a few unusual gyrations for those sometimes hard-to-reach places, this method can be successfully85POMERANIAN REVIEWmama and babies, especially as the flight would include a plane change and layover. Everyone was happy and the puppies arrived in good spirits, tails awaggin'lAnother interesting thing I learned from this experience was that to ship "Priority" or "Express" the charge is the same regardless of the destination, unlike regular freight, where you must pay additional for plane changes and handling charges. We decided to use that service as it turned out to be very close to the regular freight charge and we would receive even better service.Another thing I learned from Mr. Davenport was that Delta, unlike other airlines, determines their temperature readings for inside their holding facilities rather than the outside temperatures. This is worthwhile to note. Sometimes the difference between 40-42 degrees would mean you could not get your dog shipped.Always check weather conditions before leaving for the airport. Be sure to reconfirm flights and avoid any needless aggravation. One time we had such a bad fog in Texas that I could not get a dog out for nearly a week. The Eastern airline agent was so concerned, he called and gave me nightly weather reports to save us an early-morning trip in to the airport. He also prepared all the paperwork in advance to minimize the length of time the dog would need to be at the airport prior to the flight.Another time, the counter agent volunteered to personally take my dog out to the airliner so that it would not become hot or frightened in the waiting area.It sure is a pleasure to encounter cooperative, helpful, dog-loving airline personnel, especially during those traumatic times we have to send off our hairy babies We often only hear horror stories, but there are alot of caring people out there that are doing a great jobSome Ideas on Shippingby Chris JonesReprinted from the Shih Tzu ReporterRecently I had occasion to breed, whelp and wean puppies for a bitch I co-own with some people out-of-state. When I was about to send the mama and two babies home had a few surprises regarding airline regulations which I feel would interest other breeders.It came about like this The first airline I spoke with told me that I would need three health certificates and three Sky Kennels. 1 could see this would be very expensive. The three health certificates are 18 25 apiece in Oregon. The Sky Kennels, if you don't have them are 25 30 each, and then there would be three separate freight charges. I called another airline and was told the puppies would have to go counter-to-counter, even though the flight was exactly the same as the freight flight. The mama would go in one crate, the babies in another. Their regulation book prohibited more than one dog per crate, even puppies, except under 8 weeks if unweaned and traveling with their mama. I explained the situation to the agent and was referred to Mr. Davenport, freight manager for Delta Airlines in Portland. He kindly explained that airlines regulations differ from one carrier to another and even at that are still subject to interpretation by the agents and managers. Mr. Davenport read me the regulations pertaining to dogs. He felt that since animal research laboratories may ship up to five puppies in a single crate unweaned, under 8 weeks, with their dam that it would be perfectly legal for us to ship our two pups home in the same kennel with their mama. Mr. Davenport felt it would be very important that the puppies and mama be in a larger kennel than we usually use, so that they would all be comfortable on the long journey and because regulations do require that dogs be able to turn around and stand in their crates.So, we purchased a 200 crate. The vet was delighted that the puppies were traveling with their mother, as this would minimize stress. He had a multi-health certificate for this purpose so this saved us a little money, too.

Last time I checked, they weren't talking.0 POMERANIAN REVIEWToy Dog, from p. 68.handler himself must be just as motivated as the toy dog. He must make sure that his commands are carried out, followed by a large dose of praise. Likewise, collar corrections, if and when given, must be carefully administered so that the toy dog is not catapulted up in the air on the end of the lead, thereby permanently instilling in the dog a dislike of obedience training. All in all, it's a matter of making the toy dog want to perform well in a world of big dogs and wobbly knees.The last major difference is the attention to detail. In training toy dogs, it is the little things that really matter. For instance, careful attention must be paid to holding the hand at the proper eye level for the "Wait" or "Stay" commands, so that the dog can actually see it. Holding the lead properly so that it doesn't smack the dog in the face or look too tight to the judge can be another crucial point. For tall ownerhandlers, praising the toy dog without seeming to cuddle him against the left leg is another trick to be learned, as this can unintentionally encourage bumping and crowding. Proper footwork is very important in letting a toy dog know in which direction the handler will be going next. Chances are that the toy dog can't even see the handler's legs very well from his vantage point. So he had better be able to tell by the feet, or he'll be lagging the whole way, watching first to see what the handler does. I n order to make it a real "team effort" between the handler and toy dog, it's important to keep the dog's attention. While direct eye contact is not always possible to make without getting the dog out of "Heel" position, a smile in the voice and a quick downward glance at the dog before the judge asks, "Are you ready" can make a big difference in the performance of that exercise.So where should the ownerhandler of a toy dog start in obedience training With the groundwork. It all begins with Kindergarten Puppy Training, with special emphasis placed on getting the tiny puppy to successfully complete an exercise, and on socializing him to bigger dogs. Sometimes working with sound effect tape recordings helps get the toy dog over the nervousness caused by unexpected loud sounds around him, especially when he is in a submissive posture such as the "Long Down." Toy dogs can be motivated to stay in proper"Heel" position by never allowing them to get out of it in the firstplace. Instead of having to correct them every time they begin to lag, they should be trained on a tight lead held close to the handler's left leg, being praised the whole time. It may be back-breaking work, but the end result will be well worth the effort. The handlers themselves should be conscious during training of their own footwork, making correct placements of feet on turns, as well as the outside and inside posts on the "Figure 8."By working enthusiastically, praising the toy dog for what he does correctly, and maintaining the attitude that training can be fun, the handler will help the toy dog come to think of obedience competition as something that he will look forward to and enjoy. It certainly takes more effort to train a toy dog, but isn't it worth it when one steps up between the Golden Retrievers and all the other large breeds to accept the green qualifying ribbon from the judge's handColtz, from p. 76.homes and day camps. They bring enjoyment wherever they go.We have learned a good bit about Roz and her dogs. Much more will be unraveled in her next profile. Remember, Sugar just finished her CDX and there is much hope for Morris. There is still that unanswered question about music. It gets more involved as you note the registered names of the Penru dogs. Let's see, there is Petite Suite, Fancy Free, Hi-Tone, Solid Gold, Prima Ballerina, Sugar Plum Fairy, Rhythm, Gypsy Rondo and Ragtime Band. Would you say that musical appreciation runs deep Roz's mother is a musician and those artictic genes were passed to Roz. Fostering those talents was the Manhatten High School of the Arts, though employment further along is chancy at best. After years of singing and playing piano for friends and students, Roz finally took the plunge and became a professional singer. If Roz is as capable in music as she is in dogs, we need not want for more. The best to her whichever mat she walks.9'POMERANIAN REVIEWJestomsJestoms Miss IrrisistabJej AkiyJn - T 'v rt S 'tAmCanCh.

She has put out two issues and they are very well done, as well as informative. Laura has her own special articles each time and much research has gone into these articles. The Club members may advertise and by doing this the Club has generated added revenue. Means to raise even more money have also been undertaken, with equal success. It still amazes me how dedicated these members are. Not only do they have a tremendous amount of talent and brains. They are all hard workers.Our"B" Match, at Jantzen Beach Mall, was a huge success. The weather was beautiful and we had our largest turn-out ever for such a match. Best in Match was Adam, owned by Jean Schroll. Best of Opposite was Jestom's Chips Cold Dust, owned by Jessie Stephens. Best Senior Puppy, Southland N Janesa's Mr. Tuff, owned by Emily Untalan.Southland N Janesa's Mr. Tuff participated in a Toy Croup Match in Gresham the following day and placed second in the Croup.

We spent the remaining days in Adelaide visiting their wine growing region great wines and going to a wild life preserve where we took pictures of kangaroos, wallabies, dingoes and koala bears to our hearts' content, not to mention the common and hairy nosed wambats.My description of the trip would be incomplete if I did not tell you about our visit to the home and kennel of David Roche. Max Winch, who had shown under me in Melbourne, is the Kennel Manager and the mastermind of their breeding program. David's primary breed is Afghans while Max breeds Irish Setters and American Cockers. The kennel was a dream but the house was truly a treasure trove. David is an antique collector without peer. Alva Rosenburg would have given anything to have only a part of David's collection. After afternoon tea we toured this storehouse of the most wonderful paintings, furniture and memorabilia that I have ever seen under one roof. Many of you I am sure have met David since he has judged all around the world.Well, on to the conclusion of this epistle and the end of our trip. If you remember at the beginning I mentioned Murphy's law and our attempt to visit Sydney. We had made plans to stay with Dawn Ferfuson, a Crodon Setter breeder we had met when she was in the States to visit with Julie Lawson, an American Cocker breeder. What should have been a simple plane schedule change turned out to be the ultimate jest of this trip.Our plane reservations had us flying home from Melbourne via Sydney. We proposed to meet the plane in Sydney instead. Alas, we had not reckoned with Quantas airlines. They were friendly and respectful but they would not let us do that. We had to return to Melbourne. "Rules were rules." After many frantic phone calls we explained oM predicament to the Sydney "crowd" and promised to visit there the next trip.All things considered the trip was simply wonderful. The frustrations paled in comparison to the great hospitality and the show dogs of Australia. If the opportunity should present itself, by all means "Co Down Undah." It's well worth the trip . . . and throw another shrimp on the barbie for us.Judging, from p. 84.night's work.The next day the secretary of the Cocker club called from Melbourne to tell us just as she was setting out for the Customs office to threaten them with a lawsuit, the postman arrived with all of the books and no charges due.
