He finished his championship at less than eight months of age with one Group win, several Group placements and many Bests of Breed all with his breeder and handler Charlotte Creed. We have finished one Rambo daughter, Ch. Jan-ShaPs Sky High and hope to finish several more with our handler Pam Campbell.Due to the serious illness of Janie, we had to sell several Rambo show puppies but watch for them in the ring with their new owners this summer and fall.We would like to thank Maynard Wood for the time and help he has given us. He is indeed a very special person.JAN-SHARSharon Hanson and Jane Fleshman Rt. 2, Box 263 Renick, WVa 24966304 497-2446Many thanks to Julie Moreno for sending me material for the Anniversary Issue already.

Watch for it.Our Pomeranian Review editor, Phyllis Ripley, has a monumental task facing her now the compilation of the October 1988 Anniversary Issue of the Pomeranian Review.I understand she has commissioned Sam Zaneoff to assist in this fine project, and Sam has in turn requested help from other sources. What a job that will be to try to get everything together, include people and dogs of "Pomeranian prominence" for recognition, and get articles into the publication that will be of interest to everyone.

Wins such as these can only help in our quest to let the world know that there is absolutely nothing so wonderful as a much-loved Pomeranian.Your Board of Directors was called upon for extensive research and work recently regarding formal charges filed against a member, requiring Board attention. Ruling was made that conduct in the charges did indeed appear detrimental and prejudicial to the best interests of your parent club. Vote of the hearing committee was for suspension, with review to be held in February, at which time recommendation will be for expulsion from the Club. This was a most unfortunate situation, but your Board acted properly and appropriately.The committee to standardize ou Standard, headed by Sally Baugniet, witl fellow members Kenneth Miller and Mar McCoy as co-committee members, is workini now toward revisions and rewriting that ma be needed to our Standard. We will hear mon on this. Committee will be assisted in its tasl by a Sub-Committee consisting of Sui Goddard, Jacqueline Liddle, and Nadim Hersil.Pass the word. Poms are winning and being admired.

However, there are certain key factors that vvill influence the selection of a type."I wish to breed and establish a family of Pomeranians that are of the same TYPE that Mrs. Lulu always seems to produce and win with in the show rings." We all started with something close to that thought in mind. What do we need to know or know in order to do this What are some of the essentials we should consider in arriving at one's ideal Pomeranian, or if you will, at picking a type One way is to be totally familiar with the Standard for the breed as recognized by The American Kennel Club, and by the American Pomeranian Club. Each breed of dog recognized by AKC has a Standard of perfection calculated to describe the perfect dog of the breed. But achieving the "Mrs. Lulu" goal is a two-fold question. First, how do I breed Pomeranians just like Mrs. Lulu's and second, which is the more important, I think how do I go about selecting the correct Pomeranian type There are at least 3 important aspects to each question, so let's take one at a time.First, we need a definition of the terms that are commonly used in describing type. Second, what other requisites are there to considering and determining your type of Pomeranian. Third, why select a type in the first place Why is this importantThere are many terms and words in our vocabulary that we use in describing dogs and unfortunately, all words do not mean the same things to all people. Hence, interpretation comes into the picture. You all know what I mean."Well, so and so is a dear, and has been in Poms for years, yet she sure has her own interpretation of what a Pom should be and no one is going to have any luck changing her mind . . . and is she wrong" Sound somewhat familiar Each of us controls our own thoughts of interpretation, but we must also stay on one parallel if we are to arrive at the same end. Moreover, we can'talways run to Mr. Webster but let's do it just this once.According to the dictionary, type can be defined one way as something that represents or symbolizes something else an image, a symbol or an emblem, for example. Type can also be defined as an object representative of the unique characteristics of a class. One other definition that appeals to me with regard to dogs, is that type is a relationship of organisms with very specific reference to those structural and physiological characteristics which make them representative of a group, species or class. I like this one The general plan in relation to Pomeranians strikes me as one of the key factors. But we must of course have a model. A model is usually an object in miniature representing something already made something that already contains an existing plan. A model can also be something that strikingly resembles something else. Thus, the standard for the breed is our model to use in order to eventually reach our goal of symmetry. This is a very important word. Symmetry is found in almost all of the breed standards. Not only that, but it seems today to be used by everyone. It is defined as the corresponding arrangement or balancing of all the parts or elements that they hold in respect to size, shape and the position of the opposite sides of an axis or a center. You can see just how loosely we sometimes use the word. Symmetry can also mean congruity or harmony. The way we use it in dog parlance is balance. One other definition is "having an element of beauty in nature or art that results from such parts of arrangement and balance a part of the general plan." One final word we should consider and define is ideal. After all, that is what we must be breeding for the ideal. Ideal, as an adjective, means existing only in the imagination of such perfection as to be practically unattainable. As a noun, ideal is defined as that which is taken as a standard of excellence or beauty the ultimate object of attainment a model or type. Therefore, type must refer to that unique set of characteristics that will distinguish a givenPOMERANIAN REVIEW 1CONGRATULATIONSfrom6I ...Ch.

Megenhardt 8026 SR 43Streetsboro, OH 44241 216 626-4368e 94 '.UiiHm16 POMERANIAN REVIEWanimal from another recognized breed, or a mongrel on the street. That is pretty concise.In the first part of this article I stated that the subject of type has probably as many answers and methods of arriving at a conclusion as any other part in the dog fancy.I can reiterate that statement in referring to the Standard of the breed, for I am convinced there would be considerably different interpretation in every one of the parts of the written words of the Standard for the Pomeranian as there are differences in people. This cannot be condemned for it is healthy. Just mention Standards to any breeder or judge and see how fast that ole can of worms opens.In my opinion, the first and most important requisite in picking or choosing type is that we must have sincere dedication to the breed in the first place. One must be very serious in his purpose. He must have the courage to continue relentlessly in the real pursuit of the "unattainable goal" the perfect Pomeranian. One must be able to picture and see in their own mind the ideal toward which to strive. One must study the breed standard and the anatomy of the dog. One must also, with the help of the breed standard, conjure up a vision which represents the ideal Pomeranian. A beautiful dog most assuredly gives as much pleasure as a great sculpture or a lovely painting. Yet, no sculptor or artist would begin their work without a definite concept of what he is attempting to create. They may fall short of the ideal, but the knowledge attained in the process also enables him to an approximation of his ideal. In dogs, or any other living creature, we must relate to objectivity, as there is no perfect specimen. One must clearly realize and understand that type is the whole or entire makeup of the dog, and not just one or two favorite features. A superior head does not make type a long and bushy tail does not make type. A superior head needs to be attached to a proper neck and body that is well proportioned and correctly built for itself one that is covered with a proper amount of coat of a proper texture and on a dog that moves in the proper manner for its own breed. In general, it is the all around excellence in proper proportion to itself.Having established in your mind the ideal type, you must also have the courage not to be swayed by the current ring fashion or fad.Most every breederexhibitor seems to have passed through a few of these. The Pomeranian who appears to the ringside judges to have a ton of coat could be the result of artful grooming, when in fact he very well might have incorrect texture for a Pom. A Poodle that appears to be ultra short in back, if it is actually short in its entire back, ribs and loin could very well have a reached back under its coat. However, in gaiting you may be able to. better understand the facts involved. But gait is a subject that is best dealt with at some future, time. In essence, what is incorrect for one breed, might be totally correct and desirable in another.We will always find those who will want to try to establish their own Pom according to their interpretation which may be correct to them, but the over-all appearance could lack the balance, symmetry, correct anatomy, model, type or any other part which really makes a Pomeranian unique among purebred dogs. In essence you would have lost breed type.Over emphasis on extremes or ring fashions whatever you want to term them cannot play a part in any breed without showing some damage. If you build what you like in the Kuvasz for instance, that being the smaller type, and continually breed the smallest to the smallest, in a few short generations you may end up with those that will be unshow- able for they will not come up to the required breed size as set forth in their Standard. If one only breeds Bulldogs with very light colored noses because they are more pleasing to you, you soon may have a severe disqualification for the breed. In the Doberman Pinscher standard, they require 42 correctly placed teeth and an overshot mouth of more the 316 of an inch is a disqualifying fault. To continue to breed head extremes will perhaps eventually produce missing teeth and incomplete denture, preventing you from placing your breeding results in the ring. After all, isn't the breed ring the showcase for your breeding efforts Don't you want to be there and winning Remember, we are working on a general plan that is a model, and that is symmetrical for the breed.Handlers, both professional and the breederexhibitor, and judges all play an important role in this effort. Judges can only evaluate and place what you present to them. They cannot see or critique a pedigree.

My sincere apologies to anyone I may have offended. Skip had Raisin Kane here who stole everyone's hearts. As for the wrong Judge, Michele Billings was the judge for Best in Show.Congratulations to Averil Asbeck on her new champion CJ's Masterpiece of Mark's, a black and tan male. He picked up his last points at the Eastern Washington Circuit. This was one of the largest turn outs they have ever had with over 1900 dogs entered. The shows started in Lewiston, Idaho for two days, then moved on to Washington. Moses Lake had two shows, followed by one day each in Walla Walla, Richland and Yakima. Gladys Von Horn has a new champion also. Singleoak's Wooly Bully, who went out in grand style by also taking the Toy Group.The Club has a new slate of officers. For President, we have Shirley Fund Vice- President, Laura Untalan Secretary, Emily Untalan Treasurer, Averil Asbeck and Board Members, Gladys Von Horn, Jean Schroll and Donna Pickle.As friends of the Pomeranian, we hosted our first ever all-breed fun match in February and had a large turn out. The grand prize was a weekend at the coast, which was won by a Bassett Hound. Another all-breed match is planned for November.Now for a little obedience news I have some wonderful personal news I am bustin' my britches to tell. My husband and I flew to the State of Illinois, Great Lakes Training Command Center, March 20-25, to watch my son, Paul, pass in Review and out of 626 recruits, receive the Navy's highest honors, The Navy Club of the United States of America Military Excellence Award. I know there are some military personnel in our Club and you can understand how proud I am of my son. I taught obedience for five years when he was a toddler so perhaps something rubbed off.OHIO VALLEY POMERANIAN CLUB by Barbara A. StofferOVPC celebrated its first anniversary in March. We now have 55 members and are still growing.We held our first all toy match at the Holiday Inn, Akron, Ohio on March 27. It went just great lots of entries, lots of happy people and 15 Poms representing our breed quite well. Two of our Poms placed in the Groups. Animation's Baby Huey, owned by Damella Powell got 3rd in the Adult group and Idle Acres American Tale, owned by Shari Stoffer, got 2nd in the puppy group. The facilities were just fantastic all indoors and all went very smoothly. We're hoping to have another here in the Fall.In July OVPC will hold our annual picnic and yardgarage sale near Strasburg, Ohio. We hope many people will come and see us. For more information please get in touch with Lorinda Vasuta or Secretary Betty Lepera 216 733-1453.The June meeting will host our first annual Awards Banquet as well as our election of officers. I will have more about that later.We are really proud of our OVPC members who have been doing such outstanding things in the show ring. Olga Baker, one of our charter members, is the co-owner of the great Ch. Great Elms Prince Charming II. We congratulate her again on Prince's wonderful win at Westminster. What a super tribute.to our terrific little breed. But did you know that right here in Ohio another one of our club members has a Pom that has won three Bests in Show in the past two months Bonnie Stetson of Akron, Ohio and her Ch. Great Elms Pride and Joy, handled by Karen Albrect, have been rolling right along. They won their first BIS at Minneapolis, MN in March. Then in April they took back to back Bests here in Ohio. We certainly hope they continue their winning ways.Lorinda Vasuta and Darren Lane of Animation Kennels in Akron have just finished two lovely little girls. Both are charmers. Ch. Animation's Elaroo finished at 11 months and Ch. Animation's Raggedy Ann finished at 15 months. Ron Feyh of La-Ron Kennels in Columbus, Ohio just finished his nice little male, Ch.

Today I'm wearing my Judge's Education hat. How-deeThis is an education in itself. I am learning ibout numerous dog judge's workshop organizations. This is a step in the right iirection. Not only does it provide judges the opportunity to learn about the breed oresented that particular night, but gives udges the opportunity to discuss other breeds ivith breeder-judges and judges experienced vith other breeds.Exhibitors who realize this is being done, A'ill hopefully realize we have serious, dedicated, knowledgeable judges. Integrity must always come from within. A person, be it breeder, exhibitor, handler or judge, must constantly remind himherself of this. How many exhibitors or handlers expect a judge to be political when it comes to putting up their dog, because they are who they are Don't expect it We do not want it to be. We want the best dog in the ring, according to the judgement of a serious, dedicated, knowledgeable judge, to go up not your dog, because of who you are. That is integrity It is something we should promote and expect in every aspect of our sport from you, me and anyone involved.I do believe the breed clubs and handler organizations should have seminars for the education of the breeder, exhibitor and handler. Many of the foul-play cries come from people who have not really studied and assimilated the standard of the breeds in which they are involved. I'm sure many of the people showing in the ring could not describe an ideal Pomeranian in detail to an AKC representative, as a judge must be able to do, in applying for additional breeds. I also believe these same people should have the opportunity to attend workshops which have them role-play judge in the ring with actual dogs to judge. It would be easier for them to understand the many things involved in the decisions a judge must make. Education should be a two-way street. Isn't there a saying, "Walk a mile in my moccasins and you will better understand" or did I just makethat up If you are educating yourself in our breed and our sport of dogs, my hat is off to youI'm still looking for your check for a trophy donation to the APC Summer Specialty in Des Moines, 2 Specialties, 3 All-Breed shows, same location.

Both are always coming up with great ideas for new things. For our recent Anniversary meeting and Toy match, they went together and surprised all of us by bringing two beautiful Anniversary cakes one to the meeting and the other to our match where judge Dorothy Kralik helped cut it.Well, the weather here in Ohio is typical "Spring" one day hot and muggy, the next chilly and wet. But there are those few in-between beauties that make the rest worthwhile. Clean, fresh air that smells so good, gentle wind that rustles the sheets that are finally hanging outside on the line, lots of green grass growing too fast to keep up with but smelling so good after it is cut, welcome warm sun shining in through windows that could use another squirt of Windex. Yes, spring in Ohio is here and I love it. The Poms are full of it as they run and play in the fresh green grass. They roll and rear and chase each other across the yard. It's great to watch them tumble around, then lay down with little back legs all stretched out behind them, belly-deep in the cool green grass. Like all the seasons Spring is special in its own way. It's like everything gets a new chance and can start all over again. Happy Spring to all and happy Poms to all even though it will be summer by the time you read this.POMERANIAN REVIEWMorris and Betty Carson 9826 Waltham Drive Richmond, Virginia 23233EMCEES POMERANIANS804 740-7977XCh.

The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed the casual, happy, relaxed atmosphere.On Saturday, March 26, followingthe Texas Kennel Club Show, Norma Narisi, a very lovely lady and a Pom lover, hosted a dinner party for the Pom people. Norma had Mildred Patrick, Ron and Marion Coy to co-host the party with her. It was held at the Le Baron Inn, 12th floor Penthouse Pavillion. Norma had also reserved a Cabana for the show dogs while the owners were dining a supervised nursery. The dining room had huge windows that overlooked the Dallas Skyline. Cocktails were served at 530 p.m. and dinner at 630. Entrees were prime rib very tender and the way you like it and veal parmesan. The dessert table was a large round table with a big brandy snifter full of orchids in the center, surrounded by the most fabulously tempting desserts you can imagine.Norma's daughter, Maria Narisi came up from Galveston to be her mother and to mee the Pom people. Everyone was having so much fun that no one wanted to say good night. Thank you again Norma for a very lovely evening.On April 6, 1988 the Dallas-Ft. Worth Pomeranian Club held their election.

They establish what type of og is being sold and any conditions that may aply. The idea is that when a contract is gned, both parties will be in agreement as to hat is stated. A contract should always enefit both buyer and the seller.Ethical is defined by Webster's Dictionary s 1 of or relating to ethics, 2 conforming 3 accepted and especially professional andards of conduct. Synonyms virtuous, onorable, upright.With this defined, an ethical breeder is smeone who will stand behind their animals, hey do not hide behind a technicality. When spresenting a dog to be breedable, for xample, will replace such a dog if it turns out arly to be unbreedable due to a structural roblem. An ethical breeder has his sputation on the line and will do his best to irotect it, along with the breed. He will strive o better the breed at all costs.Then there are the extreme cases that ieither breeder nor buyer can forsee or dequately cover in a contract. This is where in ethical breeder is set apart from the rest, or example, when a structural fault is so evere that it will affect the life of the dog. Vhen repair is next to impossible, or an organ s deformed, there is little choice but to put town such an animal. Some of these cases are lot detectable in the first 48 hours of jurchase and therefore would not be letectable immediately. Too many times the irst thing that happens in a case like this is for he buyer to try to place blame. If he is dealing with an ethical breeder, the buyer leedn't feel this way. Yet if he is dealing with iomeone unethical, perhaps the breeder Reserves this reaction.An ethical breeder would be first sympathetic to the buyers' heartbreak, istening fully to the story being told. This done, the breeder would ask to speak to the veterinarian making the diagnosis, then 'equesting a written report on hospital stationary. He might accept this diagnosis or request a second opinion, if possible. If the general conclusion is finally that a birthdefect or other defect is involved, the breeder would insist on replacing the dog with a comparably priced puppy. The buyer must be patient and the ethical breeder will, when possible, replace the puppy.You see, the ethical breeder is not in the fancy to simply make a buck. Blame can't be put on either party when mother nature is involved. This does not excuse the breeder from rectifying the situation with a replacement. Sad to say there is always the unethical breeder who is perfectly content taking good, hard earned money from someone and if the dog needs to be put down, take the "tuff luck" attitude. It happens to the best of us but two wrongs don't make a right.When an ethical breeder takes charge of the situation all is well. The breeder is highly respected and liked. Their business flourishes because of good sound practices, and the many happy customers will give lots of referrals.If you are an ethical breeder, I congratulate you. You deserve a standing ovation. If you are not, take heed. What goes around, comes around. Your loss in the end will not be worth the little bit of trouble it may take now to satisfy your customers.AMERICAN POMERANIAN CLUB, INC.This club is devoted to encouraging the owning, breeding and exhibiting of the Pomeranian dog and the protection and advancement of the breed.We are currently offering membership to all who are interested in these principles and aims.If you are interested in joining the Club, please contact Mrs. Audrey Roberts, 1410 S. 10th St., Leesville, LA 71446.If you only wish to subscribe to the Review contact the Circulation Manager, John Cribbs, Rt. 1, Box 249, Doswell, VA 23047.POMERANIAN REVIEWGolden Aires Pomspresents7KviVWiV.l-VsCCr.-iGolden Aires Bon Bon DeliteCh.

All agreed with ly stand on rude and rough judges. Several xpressed concern that I recommended Poms 3 enthusiastically for obedience. While they ersonally have Poms they show in bedience, they fear that a very competitive erson, whose original experience was with augher breeds such as goldens or Border ollies, might be too hard on a Pom. One orrespondent described such a person. She aid this person wants to win, is very emandingof the dog, and puts a lot of stress n the Pom. The writer felt that her fellow xhibitor didn't truly appreciate the Pom- ranian personality.Good point Most Poms cannot "take a eking and keep on ticking." If you are an xtremely competitive trainer, if you prefer Koehler's methods to Diane Bauman's, if you link you can cure any problem with a strong nough correction then please pick nother breed for obedience. But if you are harmed by a dog that adores people, that lances for applause, that is sensitive, that has iis own unique little character, by all means rain him in obedience if you can use fair and entle methods, if you can respect his right o be a dog, if you love him more than all the ilue rosettes in the world.In my last column I asked you to check out umors before believing them or passing them in. Whew, thank goodness Miss A took my dvice a few days later. On Saturday night, a lerson I shall resist characterizing, called Aiss A to inform her that I had taken "that inished bitch" into the classes at Old ominion KC show and had taken the points. iunday at 800 a.m. Miss A met me at ringside ind asked if it were true. I was amazed. Yes, he was a finished champion and I had moved ler up to specials class. We won BOS. ortunately, the handler who had won WBcame up just then and confirmed my version of the story.I'm sure the person who called Miss A thought they were telling the truth. But you see how this sort of thing gets out of hand Suppose Miss A hadn't attended the Sunday show or hadn't confronted me about it By the time the story made the rounds, I would have grown horns and a tail and the bitch would have had 23 points.On the Cherry Blossom Circuit in April, both Dianne Johnson and I were showing pregnant bitches. One acquaintance seemed a little surprised that I would show a bitch in whelp. She asked if 1 took any special precautions. I said, "No," but went on to explain that I'm always careful with my Poms on the road 1 Don't use public x-pens or areas obviously used by a lot of dogs. I carry a small x-pen for both the show and the motel. 2 I carry a variety of foods and feed several small meals a day. 3 Avoid stress. Give extra attention and affection. If I stay for the group I hold them in my lap. Back at the motel, they can snuggle beside me on the bed while we watch TV. 4 Make sure they get plenty of opportunities to rest.There is an advantage to showing a pregnant bitch her coat is at its fullest Dogs hold extra undercoat while expecting. Some let go of some of it about 2 weeks before the due date to line the nest with Dianne's bitch was moody. One day Amanda would show like a million dollars the next she put her ears on the side of her head and gave Dianne a look that said, "You can't make me show" Generally, my bitches have shown better when pregnant. They were calmer on the table and more attentive. However, once I showed a brace, half of which was a pregnant bitch. She did fine in breed and group, but when we went in for BIS, she said, "Sorry, Mom. I'm just too tired."If you're considering showing an expectant lady, check your calendar carefully. Remember that many of them go off their feed at 3 to 4 weeks. You don't want to show her past the sixth week, for her safety and comfort. Also, you'll have an increasing girth to explain to the judge.As announced in the April Review, we'll soon have a new Anniversary Issue.

Did you see "48 Hours" on CBS-TV when it vered the '88 Westminster KC Show What a Dot Apparently the producers picked 4 dogs ley thought had excellent chances of inning and following them through the two lys. They interviewed owners and handlers, lowed the dogs being groomed and on the inches, showed breed and group judging, plained what the judge was looking for. We iw some terrific examples of good lortsmanship, and two examples of very bad shavior. For shame And on national TV hen, unheralded and unpredicted, a cocky, limated ball of fluff came out of nowhere to ike all the marbles. Oh, it was wonderful All irough the show, knowing that tiny Prince as going to win, we chortled at the iticipated glory.Two years ago, a little girl called to ask bout the availability and prices of pups. I nswered her questions, and forgot about it. he next morning her mother called. She said er daughter I'll call her Janie suffered from ivere asthma. She had to be hospitalized 4 mes a year and missed a lot of time from shook Janie was very good about putting up 'ith all the treatments and they wanted to do Dmething special for her. The only thing anie wanted was a Pomeranian. The ediatrician thought it was a good idea the llergist thought it was a terrible idea I jggested a Chihuahua. The mother said Janie cily wanted a Pom.I was very sympathetic, since I had had sthma as a child. I also knew that juvenile sthma can be largely psychological. Perhaps, suggested, if Janie knew that she couldn'tkeep the dog if her attacks continued, she would have a strong motivation to stay healthy. The mother asked if I would let them take the puppy on a trial basis, and I agreed.That was 2 years ago. The whole family adores Muffin. Janie missed 34 days of school the year before she got him. The year after she got him she missed 11 days and this year it was 4. The family is convinced that Muffin has worked a miracle. If you get a chance to place a dog in an allergy home, give it a try. The worst that could happen is that the dog would have to come back to you.I mentioned collapsed trachea in my last column. Let's elaborate on that a bit. The trachea or windpipe connects the mouth and nasal passages with the bronchial tubes. Cartilage rings around this pipe or tube support it. When this cartilage deteriorates or collapses, the windpipe is narrowed and the dog has trouble breathing. The Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook says it is a birth defect. But it only shows up in middle age, seven years or older. It is common in Poms, and quite possibly hereditary.It begins with a soft, dry cough and develops into a hacking cough. Occasionally the dog goes on a coughing jag and he just can't quit. A drink of water doesn't help. Since a cough can be a symptom of many things, a vet's advice is needed. The narrowed area will show up on x-ray.The dog with a collapsed trachea should be kept lean. Too much weight doesn't help his breathing. Both his breathing problems and excess weight put a strain on the heart. Pediatric cough suppressants will give relief to a mild case. Ask your vet for dosage advice. If that doesn't work, the vet can prescribe a stronger medication such as tussionex. Since this has codeine in it, it should only be used for a limited time. It does help to keep the humidity up in the kennel. When I turn on the kerosene heater at night, I put a 2-qt. pot of water on top of it, and throw in a few spices like cloves and a couple of cinnamon sticks. The coughing appears to be worse in winter.It is possible to do surgery but that is a drastic solution. The surgeon puts a spiral of plastic around the trachea to support it. This is major surgery under general anesthesia. A friend took her 7 year old Ch.-C.D. male to a University veterinary school because he was coughing so much that both of them were continued on p. 110.POMERANIAN REVIEWJ-----------------------------------rBlake's PomeraniansrCh.

Box 85, Rt. 20 South Craigsville, WVPOMERANIAN REVIEWFrom Kids To Canines It's downhill all the wayby Nona Kilgore BauerRemember when your children were Dddlers, and you dreamed of the someday ou'd be free of sticky fingerprints on the oorknobs, and tinker toys and lincoln logs nder the couch No more potty training or 2 .m. tummy aches. A tidy house and a ensible lifestyle. That's what we all dreamed f.So the kids grew up, and you got a dog. Or wo or three. Our own dog family has grown o four. And we thought life was rough beforeOur dream of a model household has been lemolished by rows of noseprints across the iving room window and clouds of dog-down oiling like tumbleweeds where matchbox cars mce raced. We've traded fingerprints for lawprints, lincoln logs for plastic bumpers ,nd baby food for Ken-L-Ration. These rade-offs from kids to dogs often cause our riends to seriously question our sanity.Nowadays instead of tiny muddy tennis hoes, we have muddy paws, only more of hem than my kids had feet . . . bounding up into the bedspread only after it's just been Iry-cleaned or jumping wildly up to greet us always when we're wearing white slacks. So nuch for neat and tidy.My memories of potty training problems lave faded like the pain of childbirth. I even antasize about potty chairs in warm, cozy lathrooms every time I climb into my nowmobile suit and stumble around outside n freezing, 10 degree weather to housebreak i new pup or coddle a dog with diarrhea. The 3ampers crowd should count their blessings.Some things haven't changed much though. Remember those 2 a.m. tummy aches Did 'ou ever wake up in the middle of the night to he retching sound of your dog barfing next to 'our bed Or roll over the smell that smell and wonder who did it this time Then your husband mumbles that it must be your dog, so you'd better clean it upBut we do manage to get a good night's sleep occasionally, in spite of it all. That is, whenever the dogs don't hog my half of the bed. Or my husband's half. Then he rolls overand hogs my side too.We even try to sleep late on weekends . . . sometimes . . .as long as we don't roll over, shift a pillow or lift an eyelid. Our retrievers have sonar hearing and can detect an eye opening at 20 feet or a split-second shift in our breathing pattern.Mealtime hasn't changed much either. After cooking for three sons who wouldn't eat any vegetable grown in North America, I'm an expert at hiding vitamins in the dog food and poking heartworm and allergy pills down strangled throats. But bless them, no grumbling to clean their kennel pansAnd the dog food Three 40-pound sacks, three different varieties, stuffed into that cute little half-bath off the kitchen, the one we were going to redecorate after the kids were gone. I can't seem to find wallpaper to match dog food bags.The coat hooks next to the kitchen door are finally stripped of little scarves and mittens and baseball caps. But are they hung with wicker baskets or clever homemade crafts No room. They're filled instead with choke collars, bait aprons, longe lines and leather leads. Decorations by "Dog World."The kids' favorite cookie jar has also been replaced by a treat can, a can three times the size of the cookie jar. Retrievers like to pig out on extra-large Milkbones.And the tinker toys have been replaced by tennis balls, knotted-up old socks and gnarly Nylabones Ever step on one of those chewed-up suckers in your bare feet Just like the kids, we can't seem to train the dogs to put things back in their toy bucket.Unlike our children, however, who were banished from the den during happy hour, our four 65-pound carnivores join us for martini time, salivating all over the coffee table at the sight of the cocktail franks, ready to lunge at the slightest flick of a fingertip. We can't even sneak an olive without feeling guilty.As for the drooled-on magazines on the coffee table, take note. No more Diaper World or Parent Psychology.

What .vimp, you think, mindlessly reaching for his vorite food, which is precisely what he had mind."The pet is, in fact, dominating through ibmission," Dr. Bruce Fogle said. "You don't ive to be overtly aggressive to be dominant, id it is something that pets have learned."It is but one of many strategies that amesticated animals employ to get their ay, as explained by the London veterinarian i a new book, "Carnes Pets Play How Not To e Manipulated by Your Pet" Viking, 15.95. When Fogle refers to games, he means the xansactional" kind popularized in the early Os by psychiatrist Eric Berne in his book Harries People Play.""One of the reasons we choose dogs as pets that there appears to be in their attachment capacity for an altruistic love, a willingness please another without outward reward," ogle writes. "But we also choose them ecause we are helplessly programmed to doD."In a recent interview, he expanded on the nought "Humans are programmed for felong parenting. And pets don't hesitate to ake advantage of this need in us."hrewd TacticsThe games take place, the author said, iecause of our tendency to see pet behavior i human terms to anthropomorphize.And shrewd are the tactics that a wily cat, log or bird quickly learns, including being a larent on his own part."A pet dog symbolically plays the role of a larent," the veterinarian writes. "The pet lives comfort and solace, physical contact ind constancy and a loyalty unlike anything lse on earth. A pet dog offers a type of ledication that, outside of infancy, we never et and never hope of getting."But nothing in life comes without a price, ets of any kind, Fogle said in the interview, ire great observers and great psychologists 'better, in fact, than we are."Thus there are eating games"Pet owners honestly believe that their inimals will starve if they don't eat what isplaced before them," Fogle said."In my 17 years of practice, l have never heard of a dog dying of starvation when food is available. Dogs and cats win starvation games because they come across owners who let them."The 'Feed Me' GameDogs are loyal because of the companionship we give them, but they learn to play "Feed me" because for many of them there is nothing much else to do, Fogle said.He told of a cat who had learned to get his meal before dawn by dipping his paw into his water bowl, jumping onto his owner's bed, and splashing him in the face.Obsessive feeders, the author continued, feed their pets excessively, in part because of the signals they receive."Cats use body language. They head-butt and writhe around your legs. Dogs paw you or, if they are small enough, lick or try to get on your lap. My African gray parrot, Humphrette . . . bends her head for a tickle whenever l am near her, and once she feels my fingers, presses into them with all of her body."If a game is being played, the owner can at least play to a tie"There is no room for democracy in an owner-pet relationship," Fogle said. "You have to be a benign dictator. You are the boss."On the subject of social needs, Fogle said that while humans are good cat and dog substitutes for cats and dogs we play with them, we are their leaders, we stroke them we are poor substitutes for birds."Parrots, for instance, are really gregarious. They need a lot of attention. That is why they parrot and learn to talk they want to be social."That is why, if you go to work and leave a parrot alone, it will sometimes react by pulling out its feathers."All of that notwithstanding, it is unlikely that pet gamesmanship will to any extent disappear, if for no other reason than human narcissism.There is more than a little truth to the belief continued on p. 706.POMERANIAN REVIEWSweetheart PomeraniansAk Ms .Sweetheart's Gold MasterpieceShown here taking his first major in Wichita Falls, TX under Mr. George Payton, "Nubby" also went BOB in Monroe, LA under Mr. Merrill Cohen.

Box 717 League City, TX 77573Much human knowledge is based on sxperience, but occasionally experiences lave such conflicting elements that no cnowledge is gained from them. I had such an xperience this summer. I recount it, not oecause I have any knowledge to offer, but oecause I think you will find it to be interesting, and if you have a similar happening you will not be as surprised as I was.The sequence of events began innocently with my breeding Nan, a young bitch in the prime of life and what appeared to be excellent health. Nan had free-whelped a litter of three ten months earlier. The season and breeding were unremarkable. Four weeks into the pregnancy I checked Nan and decided she was carrying two puppies. At this point i went on vacation for two weeks. When I returned, I checked Nan and could find no puppies. 1 was confused, but I assumed that I had made a mistake.Time passed and Nan continued her happy bouncy way. Normally a round little girl. Nan was no fatter than usual. A few days before Nan was due, she showed the usual pre-whelping mammary development. I put her in a whelping pen. At this time I could feel something in the uterus, but it did not feel large enough in circumference to be a puppy, and there was no movement. Nan had been bred twice. On the day before her first due date, Nan's temperature dropped to 100.2. On her due date Nan sat in her box and looked expectant. This continued for the two due dates, but Nan did not go into labor. At no time was there any sort of discharge. On the second due date Nan came into heavy milk. On this day she lost all interest in her box. She no longer wanted to stay in the puppy room. When allowed to do so, she ran and romped with the other dogs. Of course this day was on a weekend.On Monday I took Nan to the vet. At thistime the once heavy milk was almost all gone. However, a x-ray revealed a puppy in the uterus. Both the vet and I believed that the puppy was dead, but we proceeded to section as if it were alive.The section revealed some other strange things. Nan was in the process of reabsorbing the litter. When the vet removed the puppy that we had seen on the x-ray, the reason for the small circumference could be seen. The placenta closely adhered to the puppy. The vet had to peel the placenta from the puppy as one would a glove from a hand. In the midst of this, the puppy moved slightly. Fortunately we had the incubator ready and popped her into it. She was extremely dehydrated and only breathed once every eight seconds. The vet gave her nearly seven c.c.s of fluid. She could not move except to breathe for almost three hours.I had been correct. There was a second puppy, a male. It was much further in the reabsorption process, and its bone had not shown on the x-ray. In fact it did not appear to have bone. Its whole structure appeared to have been delated. It was flat. The development of hair showed that this puppy had developed to near if not the point of readiness for birth and had then begun to be reabsorbed.The vet was surprised that the uterus was perfectly clean there was no infection. There was not even any gas from the dead puppy. He also said it was extremely unusual for a bitch to begin to reabsorb puppies at such a late date in the pregnancy. Her milk pattern too was unusual. The milk should not have let down so heavily without labor, and it should not have disappeared.Nan recovered from the section in record time. In her mind and I suppose, body she had not had puppies. She paid no attention to the puppy's cries or appearance.I have a very fragile puppy to try to hand raise. Fortunately it had arrived during summer vacation. When I got the puppy home, I weighed her. She weighed slightly under two ounces. Over the years I have raised several two ounce puppies so this did not frighten me until the vet told me that the fluids that he had given her weighed three quarters of an ounce. I began feeding on a two hour around the clock schedule. The first two feedings were extremely difficult. ThePOMERANIAN REVIEWCh.

Henry is a Ch. Mac's Maybe I Will son.OwnersSkip Piazza and Nancy BurnetteBreederNancy Burnette POMERANIAN REVIEWupps interior must have been as dry as her xterior. It was extremely difficult to pass the ube. I tried repeatedly. I even buttered the ube. Finally I got it in place and fed the luppy. The third feeding I could not pass the ube. By this time the puppy could move Lround a little and it was hungry. Nan did not lave much milk, and the puppy was not trong enough to nurse for long, but I held lan and let the baby nurse for as long as she ould. She seemed to sleep for about thirty ninutes, and then I could pass the tube and eed her. Although passing the tube was difficult for several more feedings, the difficulty decreased rapidly until that aspect jf her care was normal.During the first hour after her birth, the suppy had the usual infant BM, and her urine output seemed normal. Considering her dehydrated condition, I was not surprised that she did not have another BM for twelve hours.I was concerned when the twelve hours stretched to twenty-four, and I decided that something had to be done when thirty-six hours passed. I cut the tip off a feeding tube and attached it to a syringe. With this I gave her a tiny enema 'A c.c.. It was successful. A few hard balls of stool were followed by a normal stool. Unfortunately the problem was not solved, and I repeated the enema every thirty-six hours for three times. Then the stools came normally.As time passed the puppy grew stronger but did not increase in size. At one week she still weighed two ounces. I did not expect her to live.At a week and a half the next problem arose. The stools now became too soft. At times they were bubbly and nearly liquid. The puppy appeared near death. Of course this happened in the middle of the night when the vet familiar with the case could not be reached. In desperation I crushed half a broad spectrum antibiotic tablet and divided the powder into doses. I mixed a dose with a tiny amount of NutriCal. This I put in the puppy's mouth. I did not expect success, and was amazed that the puppy was obviously better at the next feeding and the next stool was normal. I continued the medication twice a day for three days.Finally the puppy began to gain a little weight. She was a strong-willed puppy for such a tiny scrap of life. She wanted to eat soI switched her to a bottle and added baby meat and cereal to her food. At two weeks she weighed three ounces, but the road was still not smooth. Once a week for two more weeks her stools became soft, and she lost energy. The medication was repeated each time. The problem did not appear after the third occurance. After the fourth week the puppy did not have any more medical problems.Except for her size the puppy's development was normal. Fler eyes opened at twelve days. She walked at two and a half weeks, played with fingers at three weeks and toys at four. At five weeks she knew her name and would come when called. At six weeks she could run and play for over two hours and only be happily tired. Her DHLPP shot caused no disturbance in her system. The other day I remarked that she was average in every way except for her size. I was reminded that her grandfather on both sides is small I must now include that too as normal.I do not know how this information may help you. Perhaps you will find it interesting. Perhaps you will not feel so alone if this happens to you. Or perhaps it will help you to carry on when you think a case is hopeless.s HawaiiuaS6THAURREK, I06 SHOW A"FOR GOOWESSSAkE, LETS GIVE THAT PIT , BULL A MISCELLANEOUS' PRI2EOR SOMETHING1."POMERANIAN REVIEW 7Berrys Pomeranians Aari BESTOF OPPOSITE SEXMEMPHIS KENNEL CLUB NOVEMBER 1987photo BY atomSouthlands Apollo CreedLook for this perfectly marked black and tan in the ring.

Box 2775 Morgan City, LA 70381 504 384-7466w POMERANIAN REVIEWI Remember Whenby Dorothy BonnerAfter my beloved "Baby" died in 1942, we bought our second Pom, Aristic Honey Chile. She was small but very gorgeous and gave us several Caesarian, single-birthed puppies, the best being Bonner's Adorable Nip who appears in some of our very old pedigrees. Nip should have finished except for the fact that he was doomed to follow on the heels of any shown by Gladys Schoenberg, a constant winner competing against me, a green and ignorant exhibitor. Finally, my next was given to Clara Alford, who showed in other areas and soon sent me back my first Bonner champion stud.During the next few years several Aristic broods were bought, but they were small and produced sparingly. One day at the Schoenberg's, two adorable twin sisters caught my eye as they waddled out of their nest box. One was slightly larger than the other, but both showed prospects of developing into sizable broods. Gladys agreed to sell them to me, but did not want payment while they were so young. I watched them daily and asked several times to pay for them, but was put off. One day when they were two months old, Gladys greeted me with the news that she had sold the little one. No explanation or excuses offered. I expressed shock and disappointment, but one never challenged the "queen." So the inevitable was accepted, and I hurriedly wrote a check, grabbing the remaining baby. Gladys named her Aristic Mighty Cute, her dam being Aristic Little Cute Face, also a cream. This was the root of my baby faces. The sire was a Pepper Pod son, Ch. Aristic Chile King.Mighty Cute matured at about 7 pounds and produced litters of five byCh. Aristic Wee Pepper Pod, a successful line breeding. As most of her girls were kept, Mighty Cute became my foundation bitch. All were dainty, beautiful, medium-size and show type in conformation. Unfortunately most of the boys were slightly coarse and too large. An exception was Ch. Bonner's Peppercorn, a solid gold-orange who became Patricia Hopkin's foundation male, later resold to Jackie Klein. Mighty Cute and Pepper Pod produced puppies of many colors cream,orange, red, black and tan, chocolate, and lovely cafe-au-lait. Some were not finishable because of the Pom standard on colors, so sold as pets. Since Mighty Cute and her dam were both cream, this color was deeply ingrained in the genes and still appears in my puppies. Even now, precautions are taken in breeding to light colors as we want to retain our black noses and eye rims.My love and thanks go to this wonderful girl who stamped the type for future generations with the quality that is now enjoyed.The Couch Potatoesby Elizabeth DupuisOne potato, two potato,Three potato, four. . .Oh how I want these Poms Down on the floorI can't stretch out.I can barely sit.Do I dare to force them off And risk a pint sized fitThey do look so content And comfy and cozy too.It really is a dilemma,Tell me, what am I to doShould I coax them off With their first choice treatOh no, not thatThey'll demand sauteed meatShould I give a gentle push And hope they'll land on trackNo, I mustn't do thatOne could easily hurt his back.I guess I'll sit and tough it out And share my precious couch.Afterall, they are my T.V. palsAnd I'd weep if they labeled me GrouchYou know, I do love them so very much And wouldn't want to cause them sorrow. Besides, it's time for our favorite show I'll just have to think about it tomorrow.POMERANIAN REVIEWGLADYANBreeder andor Owner of 78 American Cocker Spaniel and German Shepherd Champions proudly introduces Champion 79 and our first Pomeraniannr .Singleoaks Wooly BullyPedigree Behind The New Champions"Herbie" is pictured here going 1st in Group from the Open Class, over a special, and defeating top winning champions in the Toy Group.Thank you, Jean Schroll, Emily Untalan, Laura Untalan and Jean Read for all your help and friendship.

It seems that many are too busy trying to discredit others and their efforts. They forget that most stem from what I like to think of as the root of the American Pomeranian. Ruth Beam has recently received a lot of recognition because of Best in Show winner Ch. Great Elms Prince Charming II at Westminster, and before that for Ch. Great Elms Timson and his sons. Before Ruth, and one of the greatest ladies of all time, was Gladys Schoenberg with the great "Aristic" line and her Ch. Aristic Wee Pepper Pod, to whom we all point so proudly when we can find him in our pedigrees. There are so many others Dorothy Bonner, Ed Corn breeder of Ch. Corn's Duke Dragonfly, Anna LaFortune breeder of Ch. Sungold Gay Cavalier, Mrs. Elsie Sivori, Kenneth and Edith Rose Mayes, Mrs. Norris McKamey and Paulie Hughes.At this time I would like to remember a very great lady known best as Sally Cohen. For many years now Elva Cohen McCilbry, now 81 years old, has written her thoughts on the Pom and the show world. I would like to share some of them with you."I always felt I was three people with different thoughts on our breed.The Breeder to study pedigrees trying to linebreed and hoping always to breed a better dog.The Exhibitor showing the best you had. Good condition, well trained. Hoping to win but able to see the good qualities of your fellow exhibitor's entry, always remembering each show is asking for one person's opinion of your dog.The Judge forget you are a breeder and exhibitor. Clear your mind of faults you dislike. Look at each dog as a complete picture of that specimen. Every entry has his good qualities. Find them and then compare what you have to judge that day. Be honest with yourself. When you finish your days work, be clear in mind and conscience of having done your best.My ethics were always to show a good specimen in good show condition. Be surethat the future champion has sired a litter before finishing a female whelped a good, live litter before finishing.The show ring is there to better our breed. Keep improving. Be as good a loser as a winner. Your competitors think they have the best specimen or they wouldn't be there.Be good and helpful to the novice. They are our future breeders and show dogs."Thank you, Sally. Tragedy struck the Golden Glow Kennel and most were lost. However, l had two very special, beautiful dogs. One is a very beautiful girl that is singled out by everyone who sees our Poms. It's always, "Who is that one" She is Harbin's Tiger's Final Fling. The other is a beautiful male we finished in 1980 by the name of Ch. Harbin's Golden Cold Happy Don, sired by Golden Clow Happy Day.The Golden Glow line of old is basically dead, as is the Aristic line, but let's not forget the greats behind today's Pomeranian. It's nice to review our heritage.Secretary's Report, from p. 7.Dr. Harold and Lillian Collings, Jr. 765 Marlin Dr.Fripp Island, SC 29920 803 838-4658Brian O'Reel Box 16 Spruce Home Saskatchewan, Canada SOJ 2NO306 764-8278Clifford and Doris Wheeler 3016 Hiawatha Dr.Dayton, OH 45414 513 278-6071Shirley Ann K Leu 3655 Kawelolani PI.Honolulu, HI 95816 808 732-7427Naimi Cail Winkler 64 Robinson Dr.Medicine Hat, Alberta Canada TIB364 403 527-8787Sue and Lary Chewning 1420 W.

Their recommendations were published in the May Gazette. Some of you may receive this Pom Review in time to write your reactions to some of the changes. If you can get a letter off before the July 15 deadline, it is imperative that you do so. Some of these changes are wonderful, others common sense, others border on totally nuts. I will try to give you a quick overview of what these recommendations are. Write to American Kennel Club, Obedience Department, 51 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010. Again, the deadline is July 15.1. Where a dog has been notified by three different judges that the dog has received the necessary qualifying scores, that dog may be entered in the next higher class before receiving AKC notification providing the third leg is earned prior to the closing date of the trial in which the entry in the higher class is to be made.2. Any dog, whose hair over his eyes might interfere with his vision, may have the hair over his eyes tied back with either a neutral colored rubber band or a small plain barrette.3. Clubs would be required to provide ribbons for the dog with the highest combined score in Open and Utility.4. When judging takes place indoors the rings shall be rectangular for all obedience classes and should measure approximately 40' x50'.5. Standard of Perfection Speed and animation are not to be considered as the equivalent of willingness and enjoyment.6. If a dog is to be rejudged in a group exercise, it will be judged with the group immediately following. If there are not more groups, the dog will be judged alone.7. Chapter 2, Section 12 After the awarding of the prizes and the turning in ofthe Judge's book, the judge is encouraged, but not required, to discuss the scoring with the exhibitors.8. Leashes must be of fabric or leather.9. All dogs must wear well-fitting slip training collars of pliable material of leather, fabric or chain.10. In all exercises in which the dog is required to "heel free" the handlers arms and hands shall swing naturally at the handlers sides while moving, except during the fast portion of the exercise when the arms and hands, for the sake of balance may rise naturally. The arms and hands shall hang naturally at the handlers sides while stopped. There shall be a substantial deduction if the hands and arms are not carried in the manner stated above.11. Recall replace "the dog must come in straight" to "the dog must come in directly."12. Croup exercises scoring A substantial deduction will be made for a dog that changes its position after the handler has returned to the heel position and before the judge has given "Exercise finished."13. Drop on Recall judges will give a hand or arm signal only.14. Retrieve on the Flat The dumbell, which must be approved by the judge, shall be made of one or more solid pieces of one of the heavy hardwoods, or of a rigid, hard, non-toxic, non-wooden material, similar in size, shape, color, and weight to the wooden dumbell.15. Retrieve on the High Jump jump heights shall be VA the height of the dog. A chart showing the dogs height and the height to be jumped will be developed and inserted.16. High Jump Scoring a substantial deduction will be made for the dog that touches the jump in going over or displays any hesitation or reluctance to jump.17. Broad Jump on leaving the dog the handler will go to a position to the right side of the jump, 12 feet past the lower edge of the first hurdle and 2 feet out from the line extending along the right edge of the jump with his back to the dog. The handler shall give the command andor signal to jump and the dog shall clear the entire distance of the jump without touching and without further command or signal, go immediately to a sitting position in front of the handler.POMERANIAN REVIEW"Duffie"Duffie is now home for a vacation in wonderful Wisconsin and just "panting" hot and heavy for al I your girlsSee pedigree in the Stud Register. Call Nadine at 414 481-5556.POMERANIAN REVIEW3618. Substantial deduction to zero shall be made for a handler who moves hisher head, less than the distance to see the dog when giving the command andor signal to jump.19. Utility classes must be divided into A and B as in Novice and Open.20. Delete the Utility Croup Examination. Instead will be a moving Stand and Examination. The handler will heel about 10 feet and without pausing command andor signal the dog to stand while continuing 10-12 feet and halts with his back to the dog. The judge will give the usual Utility exam with the handler's back to the dog. Then the handler will command andor signal the dog to heel with his back to the dog.21. OTCH points will not be awarded for 1st or 2nd place wins at specialty trials, only for all breed trials, whether held separately or in conjunction with an all breed dog show.22. The Veterans Class shall be for dogs that are eight or more years old on the date of the trial.23. Obedience judges should be required to attend an AKC Obedience Judges Seminar at least once every three years. Additionally, the Obedience Department should periodically prepare and distribute to Judges written reviews to be completed and returned. Judges who fail to meet these requirements should no longer be approved for assignments until such requirements are met.These are most of the changes, and if I very quickly am reading correctly, all of the big changes. Notice they want to drop the jump height to 1 14 At least it's something. If nothing else, at least it's a compromise between those who do and those who don'twant the jump___leight to remain the same.Notice the Broad Jump and the Moving Stand for Exam with your back to the dog. When if real life would you issue a command to your dog with your back turned Maybe with the dog's back turned, but yours No one I've talked to has any idea what this proves except a lack of teamwork that you're very rude to your dog, and that Open A will become almost impossible for most dogs to attain. Notice poorly jumping dogs will be penalized for showing reluctance or hesitation to jump. Does this also apply to stutter-stepping dogs Notice the judge is encouraged to discuss scoring with exhibitors after turning in the judges book. There's a nice touch. Notice alldogs must wear choke collars in the ring. Many of us with Poms don't use a choke collar. I have yet to find an 11" that fits Sunni, and a 12" hits her in the face both on the fast heeling and retrieving over the high jump. The reason for this change is that some people are using electric shock collars to train their dogs, then showing them with a tight, wide collar to simulate the shock collar. It's sort of like taking a pinch or prong collar into the ring, only worse. So they will penalize all of us for the cruelty of a few. Notice arms down and swinging naturally at the handlers side. This one should be interesting and is evoking quite a lot of response from people with the bigger dogs. Notice other materials than wood may be used for the dumbells. Notice a chart will be proved for jump heights. No more 12" under this judge and 14" under another judge.These changes need your attention and quick response both for and against. AKC is finally listening to the fancy. Don't let your voice be denied its expression when it will do some good. Write AKC quickly, please. Obedience SpecialtyThere will not be Obedience offered by the American Pomeranian Club at this summer specialty this year. AKC, in its infinite wisdom, has denied us saying that we used to offer obedience but stopped. Does anyone, living or dead, happen to know when the APC was granted permission to offer obedience Anyway, I believe there is obedience at several shows before and after the Pom Specialty for those of you planning to attend. Too bad. Iowa would have been a great central location and I think we would have drawn a very nice entry. The English Cockers just finished theirs I think it was in Kansas and had the biggest show in their history.New TitlesSince I'm running late on this column, I'm only going to include the new titles earned.

I find four legs 171, 189, 185 and an insurance leg of 184.In the meantime, Judy Lofgren got the 3rd leg on Theodore Fox CD with a 188 and 3rd place.Also finishing a CDX were Mrs. Fred McConnell on CNM's Magic Star Chaser CD breeder, M. Deane Rinehart. They got their 3rd leg with a 188. Congratulations to all the new CDXsNew CDsThe star of the Novice world has got to the Ch. Lessard's Shangrila of Jubilee CD breeder, Lorene Bradbury and her amazed and thankful owner, Alice Lessard. Alice has been telling me that Zannie was her best Pom yet, and is she ever proving it to all the world. Last issue we reported on her 2 legs of 197.5 each. Zannie finished her CD with a 199 and 1st place in Novice B, 2nd High in Trial and High Scoring Toy Dog of the day at Fresno DTC under judge Mrs. Marilyn Little. Afraid that after 3 tries Zannie might not have good enough scores to enter the Gaines Regionals July 2-4, Alice had her entered for a few "insurance" legs to be sure they would get the needed scores. Her first three were plenty good enough as it turns out. What followed can only be described as a dream come true. In a matter of less than a month, they received a 197.5 and 1st place, winning a run-off 194.5 after Zannie tried doing an about turn when they were actually doing a forward and still got 2nd place 198 and 1st place 198 and 1st place in a run-off with 4 Goldens which Alice won we were beginning to think Alice couldn't handle run-offs earning them 2nd High in Trial and Highest Scoring Toy Dog another 198 and 1st place 198.5 and 1st place and a 199 Would you believe they lost a run off for 2nd place and wound up in 3rd place Later, with a ring right next to a duck pond which occupied most of the dogs' attention, they earned a 196.5 and 2nd place and the next day a 195 and 4th place.Alice reports that by now it's become really exciting though, because since they've been so successful, people are really beginning to notice them. They draw quite a crowd while in the ring. Whew, what a team Gaines look out Alice and Zannie are on their way.Alice also reports that she and several friends have been raising money by teaching obedience classes locally, having garage sales and the like, and so far have raised enough money for all of them to go to Gaines and back, completely paid for and still have money left over. Not only that, but they're turning people away from their classes. Kinda makes me want to move to California.There have been some other CDs earned recently. Chris Ellicott in Kentucky has finished a CD on Sable Shaddow of Chablis Cle breeder, Darlene Landman. Their 3rd leg was a 187.5. Also getting a title was L. Harlip with Someday Andy Fella. He finished with a 193 and 191.5.Nancy Menard got the third leg on Novell's Texas Pistoll breeder, Mary Cochran with a 193 and 4th place. Alice Richardson from the Baltimore Pom Club finished a CD on Honeybear's Jolly JR Fox breeder, Loretta Nelson. They followed a 194 with a 196, losing a run-off for 4th place. The next day they earned a 196.5 and 3rd place. Henry and Eileen Stopa finished Stasia Fox breeder, Dorothy Wamsley. Pettistree's Puregold breeder, Woodrow W. Scott, owned by Helen Tyler finished a CD with a 197 and 1st place from Novice B. Also in Novice B was Patricia Young and Mar-Vue's Midas Touch breeder, D. Buckley. They finished their last two legs with a 195 and 3rd place and a 191.5.Do you remember Donna Crain and OTCH Twinkle Little Super Star, the 2nd Pom ever to earn an OTCH Well, Twinkle's gone now, but one of her puppies, Belmare's Little Widge breeder, Jo Ann Geeslin and Donna Crain is owned by Mike and Nancy Nesbit, has finished his CD. Last issue we reported on his first leg, a 196.5 and 3rd place. I didn't realize this was a Twinkle puppy at the time, but he's following his mom with some good scores 194.5 and 1st place, 197 and 2nd place, 194 and 2nd place, 195 and 1st place and 197.5 and 1st place. We'll be looking forward to seeing Widget in Open. Congratulations to all the new CDsI recently received a very nice letter from Lois Campbell in Fresno, CA regarding seeing her Ch. Moonshadow's Eye of the Tiger in the last column. Of course, the scores I got from the Awards were the lowest he got. He also got a 185 and 185.5.

It is always uttered in mystical tones that assure the hearer that it must represent some level of attainment achieved by only the blessed few. However, given a short period of time, the novice finds that the term can be quite useful. If fact he can speak of how this dog or that line would work well in his breeding program. After a short time the novice can graduate from being a new breeder who doesn't know what a breeding program is to being a seasoned veteran who can salt his own conversations with the term "breeding program" but who still doesn't have a clue what it's really all about.So, what is a breeding program and how do you go about developing one Don't assume the rest of this article will give the final definitive answer to everything you have ever wanted to know about breeding programs. It won't Instead consider this a beginning point from which you may actually be able to develop a breeding program that has some substance and rationale.The first step is to determine what you really want. In other words, what is your goal Decide exactly what it is that you want to accomplish and then begin to work toward that goal. Put your goal down on paper and then begin to determine what you are going to have to do and how long it is going to take to accomplish your goal. At this stage be very realistic and put all your thoughts down in writing.The next step is to determine your resources and your limitations. How many dogs do you want to work with How many dogs can you properly take care of How much money can you commit to obtaining the best dogs to begin with Can you realistically utilize any of the dogs you may now have Are you going to be able to act as a responsible breeder in placing all the puppies you produce in good homes How much of your time and energy are you going to be willing to spend over the next several years. Again, write down youranswers to all these questions.With your goal in front of you, and with a clear understanding of your resources and limitations, formulate your plan. Write this plan in terms of time. Think in terms of at least five years. Keep your goal in front of you and let it determine your decisions. Never buy any dog that will not help you toward your goal. Do not allow yourself to keep dogs that are not a viable part of your breeding program. I realize we all have at least one that we "just can't bear to part with," but we must learn to give up some dogs for which we have grown very fond.Space does not permit a detailed discussion of everything you need to know to carry out a successful breeding program. However, note the various suggestions below1. Stress quality over quantity. Get the best dogs you can. Be prudent you can often find a very dog good from one breeder at half the price of the same quality from another breeder.2. Check out the breeder from whom you are thinking about buying. Don't believe everything you hear. But talk to several people who have dogs from that breeder and see what their experiences have been in working with this breeder.3. Talk to successful breeders to see what strategy has worked for them.4. Study the pedigrees of the best Poms to see what produced them not what specific dogs or lines, though that may be helpful at times, but what strategy produced them. Where were the total outcrosses How much line breeding was involved How much inbreeding5. Study the pedigrees of the top ten Poms of the year. Look for the same type of information as above.6. Dare to be different not just for the sake of being different, but if some idea seems plausible, experiment. Just act responsibly.7. Listen readily, but "believe what you hear hesitantly" There are a lot of "old wives' tales" in breeding circles.continued on p. 96.POMERANIAN REVIEW'foftltBsiSii^X -Atv ScW S\BEST OF BREED VrSilverwoods Mozarts JupiterThis little homebred guy at the tender age of 7 months and at his first show, was Best of Breed under Mr. Robert C.

Penny got a 188 in Novice B and Best of Winners on the same day. Right after, they got a 190, Best of Opposite and another 190. All this in the same weekend. She also says, "I called and you are not home." Well, I try, but sometimes I gotta go to work. Lois also mentioned that she and Alice Lessard were showing in the same ring recently and they got a lot of comments on how unusual it was.Margaret McKee writes that since Val finished his CDX he's earned one 1st on Open A with a 195.5 and a 1st and 3rd from Open B. Here come the Shuman Points. She also says that twice she entered under judges she thought Val would do well under, only have a last minute judging change. One of those deducted 1.5 points for correcting her dog in the ring which did not happen and was very smug about costing Val High in Trial. Unfortunately, she didn't tell me the judge's name You may have noticed that with a lot of the higher scores I've been trying to include the judge's name, at the suggestion of Alice Lessard. It might help to know if a judge has given another Pom a good score when you're trying to get scores for competition.That's all for this column, but keep those letters and phone calls coming. Call me any time at 517 485-5183. I may not be home, but the answering maching is always on. Here's hoping your dog is always a happy heeler.Breeding Program, from p. 94.8. Be careful who you listen to. Remember, "there are breeders with 25 years experience and there are other breeders with one years' experience repeated 25 times."9. Turn a deaf ear to any breeder who assumes that his experiences represent the totality of all there is to know about breeding Poms.10. Never buy any dog without a written contract that spells out such matters as the liability of the breeder if the dog proves sterile.11. When you think you know enough to start some planning, stop and ask yourself if you have the time, the energy, the space, the patience, the commitment, and the resources to begin such a program.12. If you are going to stay small you will probably want to work only with one line or with a couple of lines that have proven compatible. If you are lucky enough to find an ethical and successful breeder who will work with you, you might be wise to work primarily with him. However, realize that you may deplete your "gene pool" very rapidly and your dogs can become very inbred.13. The key to breeding is sound genetics and common sense. Yet, you do not have to become an expert in genetics. However, when ever you get a chance to discuss genetics with someone who is knowledgeable, listen carefully. Do stress common sense. Realize that when you breed two dogs who have long ears, you are most likely going to get long-earred puppies. You don't have to know much about genetics to figure this out.14. Never buy a "great dog" just because it is a great dog. It may be great, but not be harmonious with your breeding program. And great dogs have been known to produce only pet quality puppies.15. Don't just breed what you have or what you can get. Do so according to some plan. Almost any plan is better than no plan. Some great poms have been bred by accident, but most are the result of a carefully planned breeding program. This is why there are a lot of breeders, but only a few are consistently successful.POMERANIAN REVIEWnysMee-Gee Pomsintroduces another "LiI Toasty" championtr 9mA HCCh. Southland's Justa DreamaCh.

From his pen he watches me.He whines, coaxing to be picked up, to be out and running free.I really didn't pick him out for special attention at all.It just seemed to happen and before I knew it, he was the one I would call.The other two are just as cute and very promising too.But there always seems to be a certain one that takes a liking to you.Maybe it's his quick response to sounds and smells and love,For he is always the first to come while the other two play push and shove.I know I just can't keep them all, but it does tear at year heartWhen after weeks of TLC the time has come to part.The lady called me just today, "Is he ready to be mine"With heavy heart l said, "He is. He's doin' extra fine."I pick him up and hold him close, my little bit of fluff.The price I quoted way back when just now doesn't seem enough.He nestles up against my neck and licks my nose and cheek.How can you feel so very much in only six short weeksIn every litter there's always one that steals your heart away.It's never easy letting them go, when your heart wants them to stay.But a promise made and deposit paid means he belongs to Mrs. Dow.So with sad heart I'll give him up and try to smile somehow.Pom puppies are the dearest ones in all the world I know.No one can resist their beguiling ways, for love, for pets or show.And so next year, when the time comes near to have a new litter to tend,I will try to refrain from getting attached again to a precious Pom puppy only on lend.My tiny Rusty Red comes bouncing over to me.Scampering so fast across the rug that he tumbles and rolls right into my knee.Sitting here on the floor, playing with him now,Tomorrow she will come to take him home and I must say goodbye somehow.So it is with each Pom child we let go,giving up but getting back the love we know will grow.Take care. Cod bless you, my tiny Rusty Red.Much love and new friendships await you up ahead.You new family will be good to you, I knowAnd part of my heart will be with you, no matter where you go.Someone once said, "You can't packagelove for sale."

I hope you have all been preparing your photographs and saving your money. It promises to be the most beautiful, most exciting Pomeranian Review ever. I have great plans for your ads to make them not only colorful but truly an advertising "experience." That may sound like a cliche but I'm really excited about all the possibilities.Because we had such enthusiastic response when I asked if advertisers would support a color issue, we are going ahead with our plans. The price l was able to get for color is guaranteed to be the lowest you will ever see because we will spread the greatest costs over all the advertisers and no one will have to carry to whole load as with a single page in color. It may still seem high to the uninitiated but if you want, do a comparison check and then take advantage of this splendid opportunity. It will only come around once every ten years or so. For the special Poms in your life this "Year of the Pom," it will be worthwhile.I am especially excited about seeing all the lovely colors of Poms that have been winning parti-colors, chocolates, blacks, black and tans, etc. not to mention all the shades of orange and sable that we have come to think of as "Common." Nothing will appear "common" in this sensational issueColor will be offered on full page ads onl You may chose to have colored lettering f your dogs name and a background color f the whole page instead of a white or blai page which is available now, you might wa a blue page, for instance. This option available for a slight additional cost and well worth it. A color photograph on a whi page, while attractive, is certainly enhancf greatly by additional color borders ar complimentary background tones. Also, you would like a full page ad without photograph, but with colored borders ar background, that is available also. See tl rates below.In addition to the color pages, we a planning exciting articles for your enjoyme and enlightenment. One of the plans just whet your appetite is to feature Poms of tl past, present and future. I am most anxious receive articles on any subject about tl breed. More importantly though, I would lil to have photographs of old dogs dogs wl are important ancestors of today's dogs. The photographs will be guarded lovingly ar returned promptly. If there are things yc would especially like to see or read, please I me know now so they can be planned.Because I anticipate a huge issue the la Anniversary Issue was 210 pages this or could dwarf it, plan now for an early deadlir of August 1 for all ads and articles.Rates for Anniversary IssueMembers Non-MembersFull page w color photo 175 200Color Borders 25 25Lettering BackgroundFull Page no photo 80 90Color border and backgroundWe would like this to be an all color issue but if you simply can't do it, don't dismay.

Cuyahoga Falls Ave. Akron, OH 44310106 POMERANIAN REVIEWType, from p. 76.breeders we must constantly be aware of the part extremes play in the finishing touches, or as a part of what is commonly called the "frosting on the cake." But they can be dangerous. Our breed could someday be in serious trouble that could be irreversible unless we recognize the difference between extremes and correct structure. Remember, the Pomeranian must be just as structurally correct according to its Standard as the Great Dane is to theirs, but type will distinguish the difference.To some, what they read in the words of the breed Standard will appear far different to them than what they actually see in the ring, but if we all strive to breed as closely to this guideline as possible, perhaps eventually we will not confuse the newcomers as much as it appears we do now. We do not want to create a look that will cause everyone to "go for it" unless the most important factor of symmetry is that entire Pom. We must never lose sight of the total dog. A dog should be in good proportion. Do not lose sight of balance. Always remember that type is one key factor, but symmetry and balance in the end make up the total dog. Be careful not to use symmetry when you actually mean balance. I was once told by a newcomer that what they thought they wanted in a Pom before reading the breed standard was in the end far different after having read it. Think about that and then play a game with yourself. Have someone read slowly each part of the Standard while you are drawing what the words say and mean to you. Did you come up with anything close to what you thought you wanted in a Pom Does the picture relate closely to what you have in your own Poms Is it what you think a Pom should be Is it even close to what is winning today For some it will be, for others it will not. Being an artist has little to do with it, so don't use this as a cop out. Few of us are gifted to truly be creative and correct in drawing even a straight line, let alone a visual rendering.Remember these important key factors type, balance and symmetry. Each is truly important to the overall picture.From Kids to Canines, from p. 62.to Gun Dog, Omaha Vaccine and the ever-popular Rockford Wholesale Veterinary Supply. There might be an LL Bean under there somewhere.No more Lladros and Hummels cluttering up the coffee table either. Our four joyously-wagging retriever tails long ago cleared such rubble from the table tops. Less to dust, now that I have the time.We discovered how to preserve the rest of the furniture, however. After the kids wrecked it, we had it all reupholstered in gold and rust frieze to match the dogs, and it's being protected from sun-fade by a thick screen of dog hair. We also have a closet full of gold and rust clothes to match the furniture.About those trips we planned to take once we were alone . . . Vegas, luxury hotels, Caribbean cruises. Weeel, maybe we'll camp out with our four big guys instead, find a nice lake and toss the frisbee around, travel to a dog show or two.Considering all the problems raising kids and dogs, would we do it differently change even one little thing Yup, we sure would. Next time we won't wait so long. We'll get the dogs as soon as we have the kids and raise them all together, so we can let the kids in on the fun, too.Subscribers Note Those of us who have had children can well relate to this article. I loved it. I must say I do disagree at the very end though. I did have four huntingfield trial dogs twenty plus years ago and, because of the tremendous work involved with their training, had to give them all up. However, had those dogs been Poms, it would have worked out perfectly.Emily UntalanWhen Your Dog, from p. 66.that pets often look like their owners."Most of the time we choose pets that complement our personalities, or at least the image that we have of ourselves," the veterinarian concluded.

This vote will go out with the elections in November, if a poll reflects the membership wants to vote on this issue.A suggestion was made by a member to poll the previous years to see if the Summer Specialties, which are already moved for convenience, ever bring larger entries. I took a poll of the Specialties back to the Summer of 1984 and the results followMay 1987 Summer 77 Feb. 1988 Nat. 164July 1986 Summer 90 Feb. 1987 Nat. 114Aug. 1985 Summer 83 Feb. 1986 Nat. 110Nov. 1984 Summer 134 Feb. 1985 Nat. 108As you can see, only one year did the Summer Specialty bring in more entries than the National in New York. That was the year of the AKC Centennial in Philadelphia, a very special occasion. Furthermore, Philadelphia is hardly a central location. So I think the theory of bringing in bigger entries elsewhere is blown right out of the water.I feel very certain that if I had the statistics to go farther back in time I would have found similar results.I hope we will hear more comments and opinions in the months to follow. An informed vote is a good vote. I would like to encourage pro or con comments on this issue. It will be a Constitutional change and a Charter change, which we are not even sure is possible.Thank you.Audrey RobertsTop DogsI agree that it is a shame that the Top Producing Stud as well as Bitch are no longer being recognized by our breed club through the magazine each year. Also, the Top Show Dog and Bitch should be recognized. I believe all of this information is readily available from AKC. They now have a new computer program. Someone should check into this from the club. After all, we are a breed club.Our main objective is to breed quality Poms. I think it would be a good idea to give a trophy for each of these four feats. We get "all we ever wanted to know about" obedience, including each score on some, but we have to subscribe to the Pom Reader to find out who's excelling in the show ring the showcase for our breed. I will be happy to help by compiling information on sires, dams and breeders.Something else that is lacking and very much needed are more articles on breeding, whelping and raising our precious little ones. Anything that will help save even one is worth sharing. For example, I recently had severe diarrhea with a litter I was hand raising. They couldn't tolerate milk. My vet gave me a powder called "Micro Vet SF." It's for livestock. I added 18 teaspoon to their bottle twice daily and like magic the problem cleared up. It works with adult dogs too.Thank you.Patty GriffinTidbitsIt's a pretty common practice to use a cardborad box of some sort to whelp puppies in. This box is then put in a larger whelping box of more sturdy construction.There are so many disadvantages to this cardboard box technique Everyone may not be aware of some of the problems unless they have experienced them personally. One such problem is a puppy getting under a loosened flap. The puppy can be crushed to death. If you continue to use boxes, tape all the flaps down inside with a heavy filament tape. With a bitch that has a very strong nesting instinct this procedure may not work and a puppy could get stuck instead in a sticky bunch of tape The other major problem is that cardboard absorbs odors and in no time it really smells. With my latest litters I have started using extra large kitty litter boxes. They are great easily disinfected and a heating pad may be used between the bottom and the pups, although you may want to put a towel over it to adjust the heat. As the puppies develop they can easily get in and out of the box and wi 11 often use the box to cudd lePOMERANIAN REVIEW 10in a huddle I hope this helpful hint works for you as it has for me.Another little tidbit have you all read Sari Brewster Tietjen's book "the New Pomeranian" It's fabulous. It's a great mixture of different opinions and ideas. Because of reading this book prior to my last litter, I was able to save one of my puppies and avoid a costly C-section. There is always a new technique to be learned. I you haven't read it, then it's must on your reading list.By the time this is published, summer will be on us and many new breeders will be having their first litters. It's a good time to remind everybody to spay and neuter those pet quality Poms. As a breederexhibitor of a small hobby kennel, we are often approached on this subject. A question often asked is how do you handle a sale of this kind It's very simple, really. Draw up an agreement for the customer to fully read and sign explaining that once proof of spay and neuter is provided, you will give them the papers. As long as this is in writing, it is acceptable. Vets have a standard form they supply the owner after the surgery and most counties require this to accompany dog license fees. If the animal is of age, then have the procedure done yourself and there won't be any'questions. Another option we have in our area is that of purchasing a prepaid certificate for the new owner. It can be purchased at our local animal shelter and may be redeemed at most vet offices. Let's protect our breed and keep it special, preventing pet stock from being used as breeders and their unwanted get out of the animal shelter.Respectfully submitted,Wendy FeistKennel ReviewYour support is needed.

Litter registration als broke last year's record of 453,100 by jumpin to 196,900, a 9.7 increase.Part of the increase was due to th introduction of the Finnish Spitz to AKC registry.

It could become the first Toy breed to enter the top ten since 1975.Doberman Pinschers, once the second most popular dog in the United States, dropped from 11th place to 15th, while Rottweilers moved up from 15th to 12th place, with an increase of 28 in both individual and litter registrations.Other breeds showing a significant increase in registrations include the Bichon Frise, rising 32 for the year, and the AKita, with a 14.7 increase.110 POMERANIAN REVIEWHelpful Hints, from p. 60. losing sleep. The vet there recommended this surgery. He told her it would cost 750-51,000, and the dog only had a 50 chance of surviving the surgery She decided those were lousy odds and persisted with all the other treatments. Gradually the dog improved to the point where he could be taken off the strong cough suppressants.Brenda Hutton suggests that when you call your puppy, instead of reaching for him, point to the floor at your feet. Make let him come all the way to you. This will help avoid making him hand-shy and teach him to come close before it is praised or picked up. Hopefully, you'll discourage that annoying "catch-me-if- you-can-game" when he gets older.At a show on the Tar Heel Circuit in March, a bitch was entered in Open, Any Other Allowed Color. When she stepped into the ring, spectators began murmuring. The bitch was clearly orange. The judge, after consulting with an AKC rep, excused the dog for being entered in the wrong class. The handler was angry, insisting quietly that the dog was correctly entered. She said the sprinkling of black hairs across the bitch's shoulders meant she had to be in AOAC. Two other professional handlers agreed with her.I think these people's opinion was colored by wording from previous standards, but I think they were still wrong and the judge right. What do you think Go get the current standard. Reread the section on color note the phrase "any sold color with sable or black shadings" and the section on classifications. What color was that bitch, and which class should she have been inActually this problem could be avoided altogether by dropping the color divisions for the Open classes. We've always had problems with these divisions. I know of one exhibitor who has finished several dogs of unusual colors. Whenever the Open classes were divided, she showed in Puppy or Bred-By-Exhibitor to avoid any questions of color. The only justification for keeping the color divisions is to try to reduce the size of Open Classes at Specialties. But it does not achieve that aim. At the '86 National Specialty in NY, there were 2 males in Open Black, Brown and Blue 2 females in Open Black, and no entries at all in AOAC. At the huge '88 Specialty there were at least 4 males in BBB and 3 males in AOAC. There were 2 bitches in BBB and 1 inAOAC. I suggest that such entries at our very biggest show do not represent a significant reduction in the size of the Open Classes. Why don't we just do away with the color divisionsHow do you people who show some of these unusual colors feel about such a suggestion We agree that it is harder to finish a black or a parti-color than an orange. Would elimination of the split classes help or hinder your cause Let the Education Committee know how you feel. This group is supposed to be working on making our Standard conform to AKC's format. If we are going to make a change, now is a good time. The Education Committee is Sally Baugniet, Chr., Ken Miller, and Mary McCoy.Make an effort this month to do something special call someone you haven't seen in a while, do a favor for someone, say "I'm sorry," pay someone you don't like an honest compliment, write that overdue letter. Let the sun shine inYips and Yaps, continued.Addressing these trends, AKC President Ken Marden said, "The marked increase lends impetus to the AKC's effort to provide even more opportunities for participation in the entire sport of dogs."Our emphasis on performance events such as obedience trials, hunting tests and field trials, and our study of additional events like herding tests is designed to provide these new opportunities for involvement."The Pomeranian didn't change its position from 1986 to 1987. It remained in the number 16 spot with 27,911 dogs registered in 1987 It ranks number 6 in litters registered with 20,068. Because of small litter sizes, it makes you wonder if the breed isn't really more popular than the statistics would have you believe.POMERANIAN REVIEW 11INDEX OF ADVERTISERSAsbeck, Averil...............................................44Baker, Olga Jeribeth................... 45,46,56,57Beam, Ruth Great Elms............................. 76Berry, Nina Berry's.................................42, 73Birney, Suzanne Suber.............................. 55Blake, Evelyn Blakes................................. 61Bordelon, JanetVelvet Touch......................55Bosmann, Fran Pomaunok........................ 23Brogoitti, Linda Linchris..............................68Burnette, Nancy Nanshadow...........46,53,71Cabrera, Tony Starfire................................40Carrell, Tammy Carrells.............................. 42Carroll, Kathy Sweetheart.......................... 67Ciliberto, Bernieand LoisCrescendo . .98,99Conley, Rollieand Evelyn Lyn-Lee............. 8,9Cook, Jean Rainbeau.................................10Creed, Charlotte Southland . . . .54,92,93,97 Dimick, Virginia and Warren Puf-Pride... 19Dupre, Mrs. James Dupre..........................59Epps, Nina Oakridge..................................33Feist, Wendy and Victor Feisty.................. 44Ferguson, Polly Mee-Cee.......................... 97Fleshman, Jane Jan-Shar............Front CoverFreia, Jerrie Janesa................................... 79Gad, Norma Chula............................ 26,27,43Galavich, Carol Pixie Hillcrest....................15Goddard, SueTim Sue...................... 25,90,91Cray, Molly................................................. 101Griffin, Patty Merrymont.............................. 87Griffith, K.C.
