Shy Acres Our Man Friday, a pleasant surprise He's the pup I tried so hard to sell, but fate stepped in and I kept him long enough for Nancy Burnette to meet him. She saw something in this eight month old, naked pup that I had failed to see. In six short weeks she transformed him into a very special dog. He finished his championship with four straight wins and a Group 1, all from puppy class. This was one of many Group 1 s to follow. He also had the honor of being chosen our 1988 National Sweepstakes winner. He is currently rated in the Top Ten Pomeranians.I wasn't expecting Friday to be that one special dog that every breeder dreams of. I guess I was kennel blind, but not in the ordinary sense of the term. All credit goes to Nancy, who gave this little guy a total "attitude adjustment" and created a winner. Well, Nancy, guess those psychology course weren't in vainI would also like to thank Nancy for allowing Ch. Nanshadow's Hurricane Juan to be with me in California. He will stand at stud here at Shy Acres.OwnerNancy Burnette Nanshadow 913 Shall Court Jacksonville, AR 72076BreederAudrey Roberts Shy Acres 7559 Pasito Ave.Cucamonga, CA 91730 714 629-1653POMERANIAN REVIEWBks Pomeraniansproudly presents Our Newest Obedience TitleTRACKING DOGSfc- ' Mi.VV . o,9nBksSir SpeedyCDX TD Can.

If you wantto do anything, learn to listen to yourdog. Learn how the other dogs are trained, then adapt, improvise and create suitable ways to teach your dog. Use common sense in judging your dog's ability in strenuous or dangerous activities. Don't be left out just because there may not be others with small dogs doing a given event in your area.Whether it's tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, scent hurdles, herding, or any other event, LISTEN TO YOUR DOG. He'll tell you when he's mentall and physically ready to attempt what you ask. He'll tell you if your training methods are correct or too harsh. Don't give up If one method doesn't work, be creative in designing another method. Ask anyone with toy breeds how they train.

HansenIt was a lovely September day, the temperature in the low 80s. The show site was like a huge picnic pavilion with plenty of room for the seven different dog specialties that were to be held that day. It was going to be a very busy day and things were already starting to get geared up. The grounds out back were beginning to look like a camp ground and it was only Friday. It was already half full.Somewhere on that lot a Pomeranian puppy was about to be born and the owner was hoping the birth would be all over so she could attend the National Pomeranian Specialty in a few hours. Her luck held and a cream female was born about 1 p.m. Mother and baby were fine.When 4 p.m. arrived, the Sweepstakes judging started with Miss Nadine Hersil in the ring. If you have ever seen Miss Hersil judge you know the whole time she is judging she is having a great time. She loves to put her nose up to each one and get a kiss, and the puppies adore her. She is very kind and easy on them, but she has an excellent eye for quality and does her appointed job well.

Her Best of Breed dog was from Ontario Canada. He sure could move and although he did nothing the rest of the weekend, he is a very pretty boy. This is his first year out and I think the owner said he was top Pomeranian in Canada this year.There were nine Champions and one Veteran dog competing for Best of Breed and all were present.

HuttonAs I write this it is late Friday evening. I'm so excited with anticipation I can't sleep. Sunday morning Spunky aka BK's Sir Spunky AKCUKC CDX, Can. UD and I will get up around 5 a.m. to leave for Ann Arbor, Ml for our first attempt at a very long coveted Tracking Dog title. It's been a wonderful year, although at times very frustrating and hard.This year I completely stopped training in Obedience. The goal for the year was for Sunshine to earn a Tracking Title. The last TD earned on a Pom was by Claudia Frank on Silvakress Viva UDT in 1978. There have only been 6 Poms ever to earn a TD. I would love to earn the next one. Sunshine was targeted because she is so willing to please and seems to enjoy any time or activity spent with her. Spunky has not been working well for several years now and seems to now dislike tracking after loving it initially. So, in mid-April, Sunshine and I started tracking. She liked what we did, but I had serious doubts about her. Even though we were out at least once a week, she did not seem to be catching on at all. One week she's do fairly well, the next week she didn't seem to have a clue to what we were doing. I half-heartedly tried tracking with Spunky as well, but it was an uphill battle. As a six- year- old, he really becomes stubborn about some things.Finally, after about six weeks of intensive effort, Spunky came to the point where he just quit. His attitude at home was deplorable and I couldn't even get him to come willingly when called. As a result, I quit tracking with him and totally ignored him for weeks.Summer came early this year, combined with the worst drought we'd had in my lifetime. The fields dried up. Dry vegetation does not hold a scent, so tracking becamevirtually impossible. From early June until mid-July we did not track at all. It was just so hot and dry, any attempt would have been counterproductive. In mid- July it cooled into the high 80s and I said to myself, "If we're going to get a title this year, we'll just have to do the best we can and train anyway." By now I'd decided to start training Spunky again. An unbelievable change had come over him. Suddenly he seemed more anxious to please than I'd seen him since he was a puppy. As an experiment, I took him with Sunshine and me one day, tracked her, and then laid a short track for him. To my delight he willingly worked the track He made mistakes, but he was tryingTaking the dogs tracking involves a lot of effort and time. I would get home from work, grab the dogs after they'd exercised, jump in the car and head for the fields alfalfa and grass at Michigan State University. After arriving I'd leave them in the car and walk in a set pattern in the field. A track usually would have about 4 changes in direction, work the wind in at least three ways, and be 300 to 400 yards long. Laying one track could well require me to walk in the field 500-600 yards. Then I'd either take that dog out to track, or go ahead and lay another track for the second dog. The dog is then put into a harness and using his nose, follows the scent of disturbed vegetation where I walked. At the end of the track is a leather glove I've left which they must find. By the time both dogs have been run on their tracks and we arrived back home, it would have taken us the better part of three hours.Although we had been taught to only track once or twice a week at most, we began going out 3,4 and 5 times a week. Sunshine was coming along nicely, but she didn't seem to have quite the same ability asPOMERANIAN REVIEW 13Garfois P insaIml.kVma oi juavanaCh.

Lynch2830 Spessard Ave.Roanoke, VA 24015 703 774-913614 POMERANIAN REVIEWSpunky. Spunky went no where but up. He improved slowly but steadily as we got into August. My feet and legs, which I thought would fall off after the first 3 or 4 nights began to gain endurance. Though I'm not a walker, I found myself walking what seemed to equivalent of a couple of miles, in alfalfa sometimes up to my waist. Soon my lungs did not feel as though they would burst after laying a track, and sometimes I'd even have enough energy to come home and do other work.An amazing thing began to happen. Spunky began doing extremely well in tracking, and the better he did the more obedience he became overall, and the more affectionate he became. I watched him growing younger before my eyes. This six year old dog now acts like he is two. He's playing with the new puppy, jumping up on the bed with ease and trying to jump into my arms like he used to. He can't wait to greet me at the door and is full of wet kisses. He's even jumping off the bed and the second step of the porch - things he's never done in his life. He has so much energy and just seems remarkably happy. If we never get a TD, I am simply delighted with getting my old dog back.Then came the big day, September 4, 1988. Spunky certified on a regulation track under a real tracking judge. In order to enter a TD test, the dog must "certify, " meaning he has passed a test under similar conditions to a real Tracking Test in the presence of an AKC judge. The judge then issues a form stating the dog is ready to enter a test. We are now halfway to the TD title for Spunky it has been miles and years coming.Sunshine tried several times during September to certify but things just didn't work for her. Then in mid-September I realized why she was having so much trouble. She had a terrible bladder infection and to make matters worse, the puppy had come in season. Even though Sunni is spayed, the urine test indicated that she was sloughing red blood cells or, as the vet put it,having a sympathetic heat cycle. Wonderful Between being in pain, on medication and in a false heat, Sunni was physically unable to track.So Sunni has to start all over again and Spunky is going to be in a test in two days. I'm confident he'll do well because he has become a tracking dog with purpose. When he's out there very little seems to bother him. He is intent on the track. He and I are almost telepathic. I trust him to stay on the track and work it to the best of his ability. We're prepared and ready, confident we'll be able to pass.With some decent weather and a little luck it should be a piece of cake. As I write this, I'm not so much nervous or frightened of failing as I am joyful and anticipatory of this great event. Even the best dogs fail, so I won't be crushed it this happens, but I don't think it will.It's all over now, but you'll have to read to the end to know what happens.Sunday was very cold. At 5 a.m. when we got up there was a very heavy frost outside. It was only about the fourth morning this fall that we'd had any frost, and it was by far the hardest one. No one has had the chance to work under these conditions. It was about 25 degrees and looking mostly like Christmas. We went through our morning routine and left the house about 6 a.m. for what was expected be to about a 1 12 hour drive. We arrived at the test headquarPOMERANIAN REVIEW 15Our Newest "Brown" ContenderPointed from Puppy Classledldlii99 ^mmAimncirfs Mr, Clliaiiriliie IDirowir3 lbs., Dark BrownOwned and Loved byJulie Moreno and Dolly B.

After taking dogs out to exercise, my friend and I went inside for a cup of coffee. What a mistake When you get out in the field, Mother Nature calls, NOW At 8 a.m. all the entrants were there and a drawing was held to determine what track each dog would run. We drew 8th and track 7. I had no idea how fortunate we were going to be.After the drawing, everyone loaded into their cars to drive the two miles or so to the first tracking field which had tracks 1 through 5. The sun was coming up but wasn't giving off much heat yet. The first dog went into this grassy field that was completely white with frost. It failed about half way through the track. The second dog ran its track and passed. By now the frost was beginning to melt. There was about a 10 mph wind blowing from the west. The third dog, a Basset Hound, was not about to walk around in this frozen grassy field, so he too failed. My friend was next with her Great Dane. Now there was quite a fog created by the frost as it melted. As we found out later, these conditions cause the scent of the track to come up right off the ground, and in a breeze it just brows away. Well, the dane did fine until they reached a portion of the field where the height of the cover changed from a few inches to a couple of feet. It was cut in a straight line and the breeze blew the scent of the track right down the row. The dog followed which was not where the track was so it failed also. The next dog, a Golden Retriever, had much the same experience. Thank heavens there were no more tracks in this fieldNow everyone loaded into their cars again to follow the Field Marshall to the next field about five miles away. It contained tracks 6 and 7. It was about 1030 a.m., the breeze had died down to about 5 mph, the sun was shining beautifully and was about 45 degrees. You should have seen this field It was alfalfa, a perfect tracking cover, about six inches tall, very sparse inspots and filled in with nice short field grass. The Golden Retriever passed on his half of the field and now it was our turn.I could not have asked for rfiore perfect conditions. I felt very confident now, and not at all nervous. It was up to Spunky. I spoke with the judges for a minute, then walked out to the starting flag and fitted the harness to the dog. We walked up to the flag and Spunky took off immediately. As he got about 30 feet from the flag, something happened across the road at a nearby house which sounded like a rock falling on a piece of sheet metal. It seemed to spook him slightly, but he recovered quickly and went on about the business of tracking. He took several minutes reaching the first turn, then took the turn confidently. The next leg seemed like miles, but was about 150 yards. Once again he indicated loss of track, very nicely worked the corner and took off on leg 3. This part of the field had a little less alfalfa and more grass, so he kept going a foot or so off the track checking himself, then would come back to the track and trot on. Again he indicated the corner, got himself situated and took off. About here I started breathing again. I could see nothing within the expected range of the track which should cause him any trouble, and he had everything "well in nose." He reached the next corner where he circled repeatedly in small, tight circles.Normally this would be an indication that the article left at the end of the track usually a leather glove was near, but he couldn't seem to locate it. However, at this point the ground was very bare and sparsely covered and I couldn't see anything. About the time he located another leg to the track, I lifted my arm to tell the judges that my dog had indicated finding something. If there had been a glove there and I walked up and found it, without that indication from me to the judges, we would have failed. It turned out there was no article there, and Spunky had only been working a corner. As he continued to track and IPOMERANIAN REVIEW 1Lovely LadyShawna-Debutante' ' i i- 8.

Spunky was con- idently going on up the hill tracking, so I new we were all right. NOTE You can ndicate to the judges any number of times hat you've found the article and be wrong, tutyou will fail if you don'ttell them when the Jog really does find it. The dog isn't required to retrieve or pick up the article, but f they do, then there's no doubt he found he article.This turned out to be the last leg which vas on a diagonal going kitty-corner up the till. Spunky would go a few feet on the track, hen check either up or down the hill to be iure he was right, then come back to the rack and continue. I was pretty sure we vere on the last leg and so kept a sharp eye tut in case he should give the slightest ndication of finding the glove. I needn't tave worried. When he reached the glove ifter about 60 yards, he picked it up and urned to me with it in his mouth and started rotting to me on a retrieve.The rest is a blur. I do know that I creamed really loud, because the whole qallery at the foot of the hill heard me and tegan to clap and shout in approval. I fell to ny knees and gave that dog the biggest hug te's ever had I guess you know, if you've ver met Spunky, that he knew he had done omething extraordinary. He was wearing he biggest Pom grin you ever did see That noment is one I shall always cherish, like vinning the Super Bowl, World Series and Haines Classic rolled into one. I had re- nembered to bring a video camera with me, tnd sure enough, someone else in the test wrought a camera so I taped her and she aped us. We have the whole track on video ape, from start to scream If I wear it out Defore making a copy for Mary Vickers, I'm oing to be in big troubleThe next five tracks were all in beautiful alfalfa fields. However, the wind picked up ibout 20 mph and the rains came in buck- ets. Every dog after us got drenched and sodid the people But all the rest of the dogs passed. As it turned out, we had one of the two best tracks of the day.Earning this title has really been a dream come true. It did not come easily. We worked very, very hard. I've quit more times than I can count, gone through hundreds of aspirin and hours with the heating pad on sore muscles. We've been out in the pouring down rain, 90 degree heat, up and down hills, frozen our butts off and worried about ticks and Lyme Disease. But the feeling you have following a dog who is working a track is unbelievably satisfying. You know, Poms used to pull sleds and were working dogs. To see them working again is a thrilling sight. I only wish those people who have contacted me about tracking a Pom were closer so I could more easily lend support and help where I could. That is a commodity in short supply when you've tracking a breed of this stature.Getting a tracking title on any dog requires a lot of patience, work and practice. When you've done it with a Pom, you've had to be as good as most and better than the rest. Believe me, you've really accomplished something and probably become closer to your dog than you ever thought possible. Even more than in regular obedience, you and your dog are a team. Only this time the dog is in charge. Very quickly you find out that to try to out-think the dog or the judges will result in failure. Tracking with a Pom is a supremely satisfying experience. Spunky and I wish "Good Luck" to anyone working on a TD and "Happy Tracking."POMERANIAN REVIEW 1Hapian PomsBROOKHAVEN KENNEL CLUBSEPTEMBER1988Dl GIACOMOEmcees Sparklin' Sea DiamondCh.

We find ourselves making numerous trips between the ring and the RV, especially since I usually travel with a professional handler who also feeds me quite well as she is an excellent cook So, we traipse back and forth from 8 a.m. to 530 p.m., except in Canada where you're running from 8 a.m. to 1030 p.m. I travelled to Vernon, B.C. a year ago last October for a five day show and we were entertained, wined and dined with BBQ's almost every night. However, this trip to Vancouver offered no wine, no dine and lots of trotting. Besides the regular classes we had 800 calls for Puppy Sweeps, 345 call for Group V Specialty and 500 call for a Breeders Cup - plus Puppy Group competition, etc. There was no time for lunch, let alone dinner and a cold sandwich was 6.95 Our rig did exceptionally well, walking away with our share of the ribbons and money. The Canadians make sure however, that you require a return visit by not awarding anyone enough points to finish in one trip. No offense meant to you Canadians but it does seem to end up that way. The entries in Canada were exceptional, especially in the Toy Group. I hear some fantastic Poms are hanging around there and will soon make their debut. Rumor has it a little boy by the name of Teddy Ruxpin is being kept in hiding until he recoats.Fun Matches are all around us now. It seems the thing for Clubs to do and rivalry is dauntless. We had a Sanctioned B match on the 12th of November, followed by an allbreed match and a Group V match on the 13th, in two different areas of the city. Friends of the Pomeranian sponsored the all breed match and did exceptionally well with 187 entries, 47 of those being obedience.The Club has accepted two new members.

Welcome to the world of dog exhibitors. We have a number of persons who wish to join the club who are outside of our district, so the Club is going to look into adding an associate membership category to our by-laws.Our Winter Specialty is quickly ap- oroaching and everyone is eagerly awaiting he judgement of Fred Bassett. This will be our 23rd Annual Winter Specialty. After this many shows, it becomes a problem to choose placement awards. It is surprisingly linful how many items one can classify jsing the title "Decorative Art" I don't know ibout you, but my Decorative Art sure col- ects a lot of dust. The Club is seriously considering using monetary awards, start- ng with our Summer Specialty. The values vill vary only with BOB, while the WD, WB, SOW and BOS all remain the same. The hree Challenge Trophies of course, will ilways be there. At least this way, you will et a useful award - perhaps enough to celebrate by going out to dinner or even covering part of your entry fees.I have a correction to make from our jly Specialty. Jambos Royal Rascal had he correct breeder listed, however, Nora ligbee is the owner.It has never been the policy of the Club a pay for pictures sent to the Review for pecialty wins. Only Best of Breed is printed s a courtesy. Each picture costs 10.00 to rint and that cost has come out of my ocket. Since it is almost impossible to ollect on these, it will no longer be done, hose who wish to have their pictures in- luded as part of the Specialty report must quest it in advance and pay in advance. ur show schedules always fall so close to ly Review deadline that it is impossible to orrespond with the winners on whether or ot they want their photos included. The hotographer is excellent as he gets my ictures to me in less than three days, then lere is a mad rush normally Federal Ex- ress to get them to Phyllis.I understand there are some recent winners out there I don't get to quite all the shows but if you don't mail me your results, I can't report themAnd our Anniversary issue ... wasn't it a work of art Simply beautiful.

May you all have great wins in the future and let's all try to breed Poms that make us proud.OHIO VALLEY POMERANIAN CLUB by Barbara StofferWell here I am again, trying the "catch the Fall before if leaves." The Autumn leaves are so very pretty here in Ohio. Sometimes I just like to get out and take a walk on these very precious days. Of course the Poms think that's just great.They love to scamper through the crisp leaves and try to catch the ones that are still falling from the trees. We've had a few really chilly, windy days and nights already, so I know Old Man Winter truly is just around the corner. But with all my Poms to snuggle up and keep me warm, I never worry. They like the Winter too.OVPC held its first Pom Specialty Match in October at the Holiday Inn in Akron. The facilities were just great. The turnout was very good and the Poms had a ball. Best Senior Puppy was Kra- La-Mar Bit O' Honey, owned by Doris Presley. Best Junior Puppy and Best in Match was Crystal Sweet Stardust, owed by Jim and Judy Shearer. By the time this issue comes out we will have had our Medina supported entry at the Christmas Classic weekend in Cleveland. More about that next time.As most everyone knows by now, OVPC is in charge of the trophies for the APC Specialty in New York in February. Ron Feyh is handling all the details and donations.We are proud to say that Ch. Great Elms Prince Charming is continuing his winning ways with several more Bests in Show. He is also producing some very nice puppies. Ch. Great Elms Pride and Joy is also getting some good looking puppies on the ground. We'll be looking for all of them at the upcoming shows. Carol Galavich and Donna Megenhardt have finished so many of their Poms this year that I just can't keep up with them all. Lorinda Vasuta and Darren Lane of Animation Kennels have also finished their puppies in the past few weeks and are getting ready for their newest protege. Shari Stoffer Kubankin of Idle Acres Kennels finished her Ch. Idle Acres Pinball Wizard, then in his first time out as a special he went Best of Breed over a very good Pom entry at the Western Penn KC show.

Another ell turned phrase states, "Every organiza- n needs Torchbearers. These are people ho discover new ideas, systems of innova- ns and lead the charge to have them tplemented." Torchbearers must always pect that for everyone who agrees with em, there will be ten other on the sidelines ying, "It can't happen here."I am bemused as I listen to and read the jlemics from old time dog people, mostly dges, bemoaning AKC's recent attempts upgrade the training and qualifications of dges. For years many of these same ople fired salvos at the Kennel Club ometimes with cause for its handling of jplications for additional breeds. They anted something done. Well, AKC has Ted It took a while, it took changes on the nard, it took staff changes and it took jshing and pulling from the outside but it ippened. So .. . what do the anointed say t won't work here." "They didn't consult me my group," "It was better in the olden iys."What in the world did the Dog Press rite about B.C. before changeThey wrote about an ultra conserva- e, obstinate AKC that wouldn't change, at's what they wrote about And AKC was 1 easy target. It couldn't move to get out of e way of the slings and arrows that came way. Finally, the monolith moved. In fact moved so fast it created an avalanche. It vept away many of the old boy ties and mnections and the ability of some to use e system to their advantage. Now these ople are the loudest in their condemna- an of a system they cannot manipulate nor iow what its impact may be.Admittedly, AKC has been somewhat 2avy handed in its righteous approach to lange. But they have shown they aresincere. After all, this change in approach is new to them too. They need to be given the opportunity to shake out the system, to see what works and what doesn't. They have already made some adjustments and shown themselves inclined to learn from experience. I doubt that any of us could suggest a better approach that would be accepted by the vast majority. Human nature being what it is, even the great Bill Cosby couldn't gain consensus on a new approach for licensing judges.All right, so where are we We are right in the middle of the biggest upheaval in the history of AKC, that's where. AKC officials have both ears to the ground and their noses sniffing the breeze doesn't that make an interesting posture trying to decide if they went too far, haven't gone far enough or should they just hang tight where they are.I would like to pass along a valuable piece of advice for the AKC. An old sergeant in Basic Training once told me, "Keep moving. A moving target is much harder to hit than a stationary one. That way you keep your opposition off balance make them react to you instead of being pinned down and an easy target for snipers." After years of being pinned down, AKC is on the move and it's plain uncomfortable to those who had a stationary target to snipe at in the past.Now, lest this be thought to be a ringing endorsement of the AKC let me hasten to say it is not Like many judges I have had my brushes with AKC authority. No, I don't love them, but I don't hate them either. I recognize the role they play and I recognize theirs is the only game in town and if I want to continue to play, I had better master the ground rules. I just happen to think that today's game is a whole lot better than yesterday's.

Kable Tigard, OR 97224 503 684-1730umPOMERANIAN REVIEWNew Ideasby Wendy FeistOver the long hot summer, we ran ross some new ideas to help our own nail hobby kennel and thought we'd share em with you.The heat this year was something else. 'e had to come up with new plans to keep e dogs cool to avoid heat stroke, not to ention measures to keep the odors under jntrol.Keeping cool was a major concern and e discovered a great solution while visiting e Fair. The 4H kids kept their exotic bun- es cool using ice blocks frozen in pop Dttles. It worked great. Instead of the pop Dttles, we used plastic gallon milk jugs and ft a 2 inch space at the top to allow for ex- ansion when the water freezes. They are eat for home and travel. You can also put em in front of a fan and make a mini aporative cooler.If you use exercise pens to barracade artain areas of your house and you, like e, have a few that can bamboozle their ay out of the pen, the water jugs can be ed as weights so the dogs can't nose their ay out.The odor problem was solved very mply. We found that putting the stick -up r freshners on our electric fan freshened e entire room without the overpowering rfume that the aresol cans cause. It is ng lasting and can simply be attached to e grill on your fan.Have you ever noticed how there just ver seem to be enough pages in your Jdress book Well, I've solved the prob- m. Using a small 3 ring binder, purse or -iefcase size, and taking a blank page out my previous address book, I use the tlarger on a Xerox machine and make the ght size to fit the binder. I purchase divid- s made for theld in Pasadena, California, illowed by Las Vegas in 1990.1 hope to bethere with at least one Pom and maybe two if everything goes as planned, he small binder for separating the letters and you can add new pages without changing to a new address book every time you need more space.Here's a more cost effective, less mess and not as time consuming way to flea dip your Poms. It seems so wasteful to dip the suggested way. By mixing the chemical the same way as advised on the container and pouring it into a spray bottle, you can cover more dogs per gallon. You still saturate the dogs but because you can control the application better, your dog doesn't stand in a puddle of dip that you have to throw away. We use this technique about every 3 weeks.We have found a good reference book, one that is great for the beginning breeder and those who just want to brush up as well, called The Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook, by Delbert G. Carlson, DVM and James M. Giffin MD. Another book that we have found particularly helpful is the Veterinary Pharmaceuticals and Biologicals by Veterinary Medicine Publishing Co. Since my husband is a paramedic, he likes to know all he can about a drug before using it on the dogs and this book has been like a bible for us.Don't Look Now, continuedchange. They could have stonewalled it for another twenty years. There was criticism but I didn't see anyone ready to storm the Bastille.So change is here. Change is always uncomfortable. Most people would prefer to live with the demons they know rather than chance facing unknown ones. For me, let's cast the demons out and get on with it.POMERANIAN REVIEW\VlmbYKIN KENNEL^Dias Apricot Brandy BearDia's Pied Piper x Dia's Brandy BearOur dandy little "A.B." finished her championship in short order this summer.

I iad been looking forward to this trip since jly when Sundae bless his heart won a ilacement on the Oregon WIOC Team. We ere to be one of the two Open doghan- ller's on the six member team.The Western Interstate Obedience iompetition better known as WIOC volved from the California NorthSouth ompetition about 12 years ago. Each year jams from northern and southern Califor- ia would compete for the top team in the tate. Some of the other western states xpressed an interest in the competition nd now there are five states and a Cana- lian province involved. They are California, Jevada, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and British Columbia.This competition places emphasis on ne team rather than the individual. A team made up of two Utility, two Open and two Jovice doghandlers. Each dog is judged ice it is a two day event and the team ith the highest total score wins. Each state as its own method of choosing its teaminda and Sundae at work in the WIOC Compe- ition.members. Some have individuals submit their obedience scores for the year and choose the applicants with the highest average scores. In Oregon we have a match competition with two AKC obedience judges. Each doghandler is judged twice once by each judge and in each class the two with the highest average score become team members. The club that sponsors this competition Oregon Obedience Enthusiasts or OOE also pays a good portion of the teams' expenses - this year it covered air fair and lodging. Each year a different member state hosts the WIOC competition. This was the first year for Alaska to do so.I had competed on the team last year with my Sheltie, but had been determined to earn a spot on the team with one of the Poms for the Alaska trip. Three years ago Janet Kunkle competed with her Pomeranian, Webster. Other than them I don't know of any other Poms being on one of the teams. There is usually a Papillon or two competing but larger dogs predominate.In 1987 the competition was in British Columbia. It was the first time I had competed on a team and I loved every minute of it. Cheering each other on, consoling each other if a score was not as high as hoped, sightseeing together, enjoying new restaurants it was all wonderful. Anyway, it was something I looked forward to being part of again.I was a little worried how well Sundae would travel. He had spent the first three years of his life getting car sick if I so much as jingled my car keys. He had been fine for the last year, but I wondered if the sound and vibration of the plane from his soft sided bag would set him off again. I needn't have been concerned. He was relaxed throughout the flight, only getting excited when lunch was served.POMERANIAN REVIEWThe Oregon WIOC team placing second in the Alaska two day event.The weather was beautiful and we had a gorgeous view of the snow covered mountains as we flew into Anchorage. My travelling companions and teammates included Marvin with his Border Collie, Laura Carolyn with her Sheltie, Buddy Arlie with her Poodle, Robin and Bobbie with her two Shelties, Jiffy and Caper. All the dogs arrived in good spirits and didn't seem to have minded their 5 hour flight. A car was rented at the airport and we made our way to the hotel. The first thing one notices about Anchorage that sets it apart from other large cities is the number of sea planes. I think I saw more small planes than I did cars It must be a nightmare for the air traffic controllers. Flying is the only way one can get around most of Alaska. The next surprise was finding a sled dog team quartered behind our hotel. They spent quite a bit of their time "singing" and Sundae thought it was great fun joining in with his big cousins. Up until then he had only had an occasional siren to sing with.We spent a full day sightseeing, following one of the driving tours listed in a book the hotel provided for us. Sundae and Robin insisted on joining us and threatened to sing the whole time we were gone if we refused While exploring the Portage Glacier, Sundae puzzled for quite awhile over some moose droppings he found. Though we never saw one, their droppings wereEVERYWHEREThe competition began on Saturd morning. All the group stays were done fir This was followed by each team memt drawing a number to determine the order judging. Utility was judged first, followed Open and then Novice. Our only miss exercise for the day was when one of c Utility dogs knocked the bar off during t directed jumping exercises. This or amounted to a 20 point deduction as tl exercise is broken into two parts in tl competition with 20 points allotted to ea part. There is no such thing as a dog failir He just loses the number of points availat for that exercise. Sundae did a nice jc though he lost points for hesitating befc going over the high jump and for a ft crooked finishes.That evening at the banquet o speaker was John Suter. He runs a team Standard Poodles in sled dog races, inclu ing the Iditarod It was fascinating He d cussed his breeding program, feedir conditioning, housing, etc. Now I'm ready put together a Pomeranian team just ki ding I figure it will take about 50 or them pull the sledOn Sunday we again did all the groi stays first. Novice was judged first this tin- followed by Open and finally Utility. O team made it through all the exercises wi no major points lost. I was very proud Sundae. He worked wonderfully. Oregi came in second, only 6 points behind t winning California team.The sportsmanship at these WIC competitions is outstanding. Everyoi cheers on each competitor, regardless which team they are on. Everyone is frienc and thoughtful and the atmosphere is i laxed and positive.I highly recommend this type of comp tition to all obedience exhibitors. If you ha an interstate competition available in yo area, try out with your Poms. They will enji it as much as you will.Next year the WIOC competition will 1 continued on p. .

If you haven't done so already, order n extra copy or two, and seal them in a zip- Dp plastic bag. They're sure to become col- sctors items. Five years from now you'll be ble to give a priceless gift to a protege or iffer a unique trophy at a regional specialty.I cannot emphasize too strongly the mportance of keeping good records. There lave been a number of articles in the Re- iew on how to keep comprehensive rec- irds. You must do so to protect yourself vhether you breed or show in conformation r obedience. One big reason you must eep meticulous records is that AKC can ind does foul up.Last spring we finished our bitch on fuesday. The following Saturday and Sun- Jay we moved her up to specials class. Two veeks later, she was proudly nursing her irst litter. Two or three weeks after that we eceived a letter from AKC inquiring as to vhy we were showing that bitch as a special ince she wasn't finished We punched up ner record on the computer and, the next business day, called Show Records phone 212-696-8281. We thought we knew vhere the problem lay. The day she fin- shed, two male dogs had been printed in he catalogue as bitches. But that was only he beginning. AKC had recorded our bitchas WB and BOS over a special for 3 points. In fact, there was no bitch special and she had also won the BOW award which gave her 4 points. Show Records admitted they had taken the markings from the catalogue instead of the judge's sheets. Oops.If you use a handler, both you and the handler need to keep track of those precious wins. You should use a double system. In addition to marked tear sheets, record wins in a log or in your computer. Also keep your ribbons and show pix. The photo of the judge standing there holding the BOW ribbon is good proof.If you don't get Show Results, the official AKC publication of all titles and show and trial results, get hooked up with a friend or club that does get it. Check your records against it to be sure AKC is publishing your wins and titles correctly. This is especially important if your dog is ranked in one of the many conformation Phillips, Knight, Rout- ledge, Canine Chronicle or obedience Shuman, Delaney point systems. All tabulators must get their information from Show Results. If you find a mistake, write a letter to AKC Show Records Department stating in which volume and on which page the error occurs and the correct facts. Send a copy of your letter to the tabulator of the particular system you're interested in. Follow up with a note to the tabulator pointing out the volume where the correction is printed by Show Results.Show superintendents also make mistakes. These can be mildly annoying or disastrous. Unfortunately, if you've been showing for years, you may have gotten careless about scanning the entry acknowledgement cards for errors as they come in. I've been having a running battle with MFB, Inc. for over a year about the ages of my dogs and kids.

After repeated erbal and written requests they corrected lat one but for good measure, they also ssigned Elaine's birth date to the dog. It lappened to be the same dog I was show- ig in obedience. Only a few people ques- oned why I was showing an 11 year old dog l Open B I continued to occasionally pro- ast to MFB. This fall, I began showing a nale in Puppy Class. Imagine my horror ine day when the steward who knew me lersonally and had given that dog a Best in latch came over to ask why I was showing i seven year old dog in Puppy Class My ibedience dog's correct birth date had been iven to the puppy.Now this was serious. This was cause or AKC to take away his wins. Back home, carefully checked to see which shows had een affected. Fortunately, only one 2 point vin and a RWD were in danger. I called both 4FB too late show records mailed and \KC. Detailed letters were sent to AKC Show Records and MFB, to follow up the rails.Beware the "Puppy Uglies." This is that iwkward stage most puppies go through iround four or five months of age. Do you lave another name for this period To me 'The Ugly Stage" is pretty succinct. Some nuppies suffer its effects more profoundly han others. Some lucky few, due to their enes, seem to skip it altogether, because hey grow adult coat before losing the puppy uzz. During this stage, the average puppy oses his puppy coat dramatically. As a onsequence, his ears appear larger and iis legs longer. The lack of fur will alter your aerception of the head and expression. Fie oes through the misery of teething. His tail arriage may go off. Related to teething He may be shyer than before, or refuse to walk on lead. This is a normal stage, but. .Do not make decisions about thepuppy during this period. Puppies should be evaluated at 8 to 10 weeks for show quality. If you have elected to keep the pup, or sell it only to a show home, do not be tempted to change your mind during the ugly period. Even an experienced breeder can be fooled by this ugly duckling. Wait until the pup is 7 or 8 months old to make any other decisions.By the same token, it would be very difficult to buy a puppy in this stage, even if you are knowledgeable and you trust the wisdom of the seller. Last summer a young couple contacted me about a puppy. Since I would be travelling to their city in a few weeks, I volunteered to bring the puppy for them to see. Alas, the puppy was a little over 4 months when they saw her, and so unpromising Who could blame them when they decided not to buy her Not I She was too little, too leggy, a dull color, and carried her tail off her back. Now as I write this, she is 6 months old, has grown and bodied up, is getting pretty, and starting to walk on lead and bait. If you are looking to buy a puppy and you don't have a practiced eye, wait until the puppy is out of this difficult period. Your alternative is to gamble on the breeder's experience and reputation, and the pedigree. For breeders, the best advice during the puppy uglies is, "have faith."Thyroid problems are fascinating. We're hearing more and more about canine thyroid deficiencies, but there is so much more we don't know. Even the symptoms are elusive and confusing. The classic symptoms include weight gain, hair loss, and sensitivity to cold. A dog may not have all the symptoms at the same time. Huggy had a weight problem of long-standing while carrying a lovely coat. Val's weight was fine, but lost his coat. Other symptoms may be less obvious.

The vet had done jrgery once and was threatening to do it ^ain when Clancy's thyroid deficiency was iscovered. Since he has been on thyroid ills, no more ear infections Trout, a Border ollie, had a very low sperm count prior to lyroid therapy. Now he's a proud papa, ometimes thyroid affects behavior subtly n obedience dog is just inconsistent in erformance.Diagnosis isn't always easy. Dogs may st in the "normal range" for canines, but ill respond well to therapy. Besides, what normal for beagles my not be normal for omeranians. Imagine my vet's surprise 'hen I informed him that regardless of how al's blood test turned out, I would want him ut on thyroid pills to challenge his symp- ims. Sometimes this course of action is ecessary. In Val's case, he tested very w so the vet wasn't on the spot. I do not commend your attempting thyroid ther- py without your vet's advice. As for any ealth problem, you and your vet should 'ork together.The latest thyroid story Theresa re- orted that Babar, a German Shepherd og, had become unable to bark. He tried ut he couldn't. One vet suggested that it 'as due to low thyroid huh and sure nough, he tested low. I haven't heard yet if lerapy has restored his bark.Some researchers think that thyroid eficiencies are very widespread in urebred dogs. We don't know if there are ny breeds or bloodlines that are unaf- cted. Is it inherited Probably, but we on't know to what degree, and what other tctors may affect its expression. For years omeranian breeders have hidden this roblem like leprosy, sometimes denying its xistence. We need to put honesty and nowledge together to eliminate this syndrome.Remember earlier columns on collapsed tracheas I got the following letter from Fran Warren"To update your discussion of collapsed trachea When Mighty again began to snort and cough, he was so distressed I though 1 would lose him. A night in an oxygen tent at the emergency vet did wonders. Regular vet then prescribed tranquilizers. A call to the NC State Vet school reached another surgeon. When I asked if I should schedule the operation, she said that the surgeon I spoke to before had in no way understated the danger of the operation. She said wait. That if he got so bad that death was imminent, to buy portable oxygen and bring him in.Recently he began to cough badly and I hauled out the tranqs. One eighth of a pill quieted him down. If you tell your readers about tranquilizers, tell them to start with the lowest dosage possible. My instructions were to give 18 to 14 pill. I first gave him 1 4 and it turned him into a zombie. Tranqs in this case seem more effective than cough suppressants. The bronchial dilator that was obtained from NC State did no good at all. It's hit and miss and owners must keep looking till they find the right treatment for their dog."Thanks, Fran, for taking the time to share with us. The secret now for managing Mighty seems to be to keep him from getting excited, as that is what brings on his spells. This means he can't go anywhere, even out to my house to visit. When visitors go to Fran's house, they shouldn't take dogs, especially not bitchesGood grief, I'm out of space and three more topics to cover. There's always the next issue.

They won their class with a 198.5 which also earned them High in Trial Way to go, Janet.As I reported that issue, Marian Lazarra and Pomirish Movin' On CD finished their CDX work May 7 at the Ft. Wayne OTC with a 192.5 Since then they've earned a 191, 192, and 194 and 4th place.There are three new CDX titles to report. Rita Banvilos with her Pom, Peppy Vom Immenhof CD, finished their CDX on Aug. 14. They got a leg last year with a190.5 at Sacramento DTC, followed by a second leg June 12 with a 189 and 3rd place at Contra Costa KC in California. Their 3rd leg hasn't been published yet, so I don't have the score.Also with a new CDX is Lee Ron'sJigger Full O' CD, owned and bred by Leslie and Ron Dubbs. After two legs last year of 171 and 177.5, they did more training and really improved. Jigger got his 3rd leg May 7 with a 191.5 and 1 st place from Open A at the Jackson OTC in Memphis, TN under Mrs. G. Pugh. Good job.Our last CDX is very special. It belongs to Mike and Nancy Nesbit on Belmare's Little Widget CD who is an OTCH Twinkle Little Super Star son. You'll remember that Widget was the 5 Pomeranian in the Delaney System in 1987. Now he's finished his CDX in short order. Leg 1 was a 195 under Mrs. S. Jacobson 2 came July 2 with a196.5 and 2nd place under H.W. Kohlman, Sr. They followed the next day with a 192.5 and 1st place at Mississippi State KC. Nancy and Mike were also on the show committee for the Gaines Regional during this time along with Donna Eddins. They had both Fidget and Widget entered in the tournament, but due to their responsibilities on the committee, didn't work dogs much. They did well but didn't place. An interesting part of Nancy's letter to me dealt with the differences between Fidget and Widget, and their mom Twinkle. Donna tells Nancy, "Widget is meaner and more aggressive. That's why Mike likes him. Widget definitely proved to Mike that Poms aren't "sissy" dogs. Fidget is extremely consistent in his obedience work. Where Twinkle had to run through the exercises in each new building to get used to a new environment, if Fidget does an exercise in the training building, he'll do it anywhere."Nancy also says, "Every Jan. 6 we have a big joint birthday party at Dogwoods for Widget and Fidget with their entire class in attendance. A cake with the appropriate greeting and names is available for the people, and treats are supplied for the dog guests. Widget and Fidget are both now into their Utility training." Good luck to both.Helen Tyler has started showing Pettis- free's Puregold CD in Open.

It came Sept. 24 with a core of 186.5, good enough for Highest Scoring Toy. For their effort, besides a leg, they took home a very lovely 12" silver bowl. Lois sounds to me like she's a great deal of fun. Recently she and Alice Lessard were showing at the same trial and Lois has wonderful things to say about that. She also is in the process of trying to put together a video on Poms. She wants to show them doing Novice, Open, Utility, Tracking and Herding. She wrote to me, "I am looking for someone that teaches Herding in California. Gizzy can and does herd chickens. She knows what to do, but I don't. I need someone to teach me the signals and how to motivate her. Everyone tells me Gizzy cannot be a natural herder, but she is""At a fun match our judge, Alice Sams, teaches herding.

It is my personal opinion that such s not the case that judges base their decisions on the over-all picture, and that small defects in the perfection of this picture fall nto their proper proportion when final comparisons are made.Fault judging carried to excess would ae a destructive sort of judging, for while we are concentrating on one feature which is jndesirable, we may well be losing numer- dus good points which are of real value to he breed. The experienced judge or fancier ealizes this fact. He also realizes that a completely faultless dog has not yet been aroduced.Certain factors are essential to a wor- hy show dog. Adherence to breed type and he special characteristics of which it consists is of prime importance, along with soundness, style and balance. One never sees a truly great show dog which does not excel in these attributes plus temperament and ring presence, while even the most famous winners do possess minor faults. If judges based their decisions on faults alone, many worthy champions might never have made the grade, for they all possess them to some degree. But these faults are so far out-balanced by positive points in an excellent dog as to seem almost trivial by comparison.The constructive approach to judging dogs, in or out of the ring, is the appreciation of the beauty of each dog. It is quality which we are seeking - a fact which sometimes seems overlooked by the public in the eager search for faults.To those who are determined to emphasize their favorite faults, and to condemn any dog which may possess them, I urge a careful study of the Standard involved for a more realistic and impartial outlook. A light eye is undesirable, but is it of more importance than combined balance, overall type, and general quality Should an otherwise excellent dog be condemned completely for a slight imperfection in the carriage of his tail Some faults are, of course, more serious than others depending on the breed, for in these cases essential breed character is involved. Thus I like the point system in breed Standards, as this serves, along with a basic knowledge of breed history and the purpose for which it was originally developed, to guide novice fanciers on which features of the breed are to be considered of major importance and which are minor.How often have you sat at ringside watching the judging of a quality-filled class, and been aghast upon hearing the comments of the other spectators All they seem to recognize are faults - and evidently do not see nor value, or in the least appreciate, the beauty and excellence of these dogs. To them the over-all picture is comcontinuedon p. 76.POMERANIAN REVIEW 63Frys PomeraniansFrys Magic KamehamehaFrys Mai Tai MagicNTN.wjmmmiAC Ch. Millamor's I'm A Windjammer x Ch.

Vincennes, IN 47591 812 886-932164 POMERANIAN REVIEWI Remember Whenby Dorothy BonnerReportedly, an average dog breeder lasts about five years. We wonder if the average Pom breeder lasts that long or if, after an attempted litter, he rates that designation at all. If his brood bitch is pet type, some success if often achieved in quantity of puppies, but lacking in show prospects. After experimenting in the pet field, the breeder often realizes that there is another world - the world of shows - and he exhibits a few of his progeny. His kennel blindness and ignorance tell him that his Poms are "fully as good, if not better, than those who are winning." Then, for his consistent losses, he blames outright crookedness and incompetence of judges. Finally, he purchases a better type and his luck changes, resulting in some wins. Now he seems to have the ultimate and breeds with confidence. From here on, anything can happen and usually does, with a show-type brood. There are lucky exceptions, but a champion, easy-whelping brood is a blessing, valuable beyond measure. If too many troubles develop with wounds that refuse to heal, the entire operation is brought to a stand still. To persist, one must develop a hard shell with the ability to rise above hardships with enough love of the breed and desire for the best, that going forward is the only consideration. There are many reasons why one stops breeding, a few examples being cited.A real temptation to give up might have been caused by my little Cuddles. She is short and cobby a real championship type. She first gave me by section a couple of girls who matured at 2 12 pounds each beautiful, but such a breeder's disappointment that they were sold as pets. Then, Cuddles was bred several seasons without results. Finally, there was a free-whelped litter of three tinies, the last one DOA. Bottle fed in addition to nursing, one puppy began gaining weight with hope of saving the other. On the third evening after feeding and making sure that all were calm and comfortable in the hot-pad nest, I retired with confidence. After my disappearance, Cuddles became busy tearing up papers in the baby bed. She then carried the babies out of the nest and buried them in the shredded papers, ending her maternal duties. In the morning, I was horrified to find the puppies cold and dead from exposure. Cuddles was returned to the kennel and she spend the next few days mourning for and asking me to return her puppies. After several more non-conceptions, Cuddles rewarded me with two four- ounce kids by section, nursed them amply and was a perfect mother. The male from this litter finished and won a group for his purchaser. The show-type female grew large enough to reproduce - a reward for persistence.Another hard-core breeder resisted the urge to transfer to a non-doggy field when tragedy struck. After several misses, her prized show-type girl was finally in whelp. The first puppy was born dead, and the second barely alive. Thinking that this was all, the breeder rushed the weak puppy to a nearby vet, leaving the mother who was apparently in good shape. The vet was unable to save the puppy so the breeder hurried home only to find the mother dead. Beside her was a large puppy drowned in an unremoved sack. The mother had choked on the afterbirth which was still clogging her throat. This was an accident that could have been prevented. The self-reproaching variety are the worst kind and the breeder is to be congratulated for continuing.A similar experience in my own kennel was so traumatic as to be a temptation for transferring myself to less emotional activities. Stylecandy Honey was a five-pounder, gorgeous a breeder's dream. She quickly finished her championship and gave me hope of being a prolific brood. Everything shaped up perfectly until she was in labor. Though restless, she had settled down in continued on p. 68.POMERANIAN REVIEW 6Jf Pomsprings Poms Tqvr-'4 BEST OFOPPOSITE, xS50CUuwctu miwoiGm.

We are very sorry about this problem. When the magazines were assembled, the Editor stood and watched the operation and requested that the normal spot-check for bad magazines usually about 1 every 100 magazines be doubled, so that every 50 or so magazines was checked to be sure they were secure. In spite of that effort, some magazines are coming apart nevertheless. It is very frustrating to the Editor and the Circulation Manager to have this happening, because we want everyone to have a perfect magazine. Part of the problem is that shiny paper was used so that we would get the very best possible reproduction of the color pictures, but the slick surface does not allow the glue to stick as well as it does to other kinds of paper. Please use care in handling your issue. If you can reglue the loose pages by pulling back the spine and reinserting the pages, you probably will have a satisfactory result. If you have tried your best and your book just won't be repaired, contact the Circulation Manager. If you are willing to pay the postage cost of 2.50 for each issue that is bad, your magazine will be replaced. The postage cost is so high that the Club cannot pick up this expense to replace your book. We hope that you will be happy with this arrangement.Good Judges, continued from p. 62.pletely lost in the triumphant discovery of flaws, which seems to fill them with a feeling of superior knowledge and well being, and the satisfaction of appearing more expert in appraisal than their neighbor and - in all probability - than the judge. Let us remember, however, that it is not difficult to ferret out flaws, or faults, in the conformation of any dog, and requires little in the way of special talent. It is the recognition of quality which requires true knowledge, plus that "eye for a dog" which is a competent judge's greatest asset. The person who can "spot" a future winner - who can appreciate his potentialities and foresee his brilliant future - is the one who is a real expert. We all can find faults, or follow the pattern of another's decision, but the judge with true ability is the one who recognizes a worthy dog on sight. We may miss him entirely, though, should we allow ourselves to become too busily absorbed in hunting faults to fully recognize the over-all picture, as seems to be the case with many fanciers.POMERANIAN REVIEW 77Obedience News, continued from p. 60. from Trilvie and some very lovely pictures of Buck and one of Elma Manies' dogs.

I hac heard that Kennel Cough was goin around, so I got out all my vaccine information and learned that the three most common vaccines for Kennel Cough are parainfluenza, adenovirus type 2 and bordetella Given these three vaccines a dog is supposed to be 90 protected from Kennel Cough. I checked to see if my combo shoi had any of these. Yes, it has parainfluenzc and adenovirus type 2. OK. So I'm missing bordetella. I purchased a bordetella vaccine made by a popular and reputable company. Three Poms were given the shot. The first one had no reaction. The second vomited all day and the third vomited and soon became lethargic and disoriented. She was given 14 cc of epinephrine for shock and some sugar water in case of hypoglycemia. It didn't help. She still looked awful. After about one hour of no signs of improvement, she was taken to the vet. First he turned off the lights in the exam room and shone his light in her eyes. Her pupils were pinned and had no reaction to the light. The vet concluded that my Pom had Cerebral Edema fluid on the brain. This is apparently a very strange and rare reaction to a vaccine of this type. He said that if a dog is going to have a reaction, it usually gets fluid on its lungs which causes rapid breathing and quivering. The vet gave my little one a shot of two types of cortisone. He explained that she was shaking because she had a severe headache. Then he said that her symptoms would be gone by that evening and sure enough she was fine.There is nothing worse than seeing one of our little friends suffer. It's really frustrating giving vaccines to help protect them from terrible diseases and then having the vaccine itself almost wipe them out. Please note I am not saying that all bordetella continued next page78 POMERANIAN REVIEWObedience News, continued.174, 176.5, 176 and 176 over the course of a year. Congratulations to all the new title holders.At the risk of being redundant, I would like to share again how thrilling it was to put a TD title on Spunky. The most wonderful part has been all the encouragement and good wishes from so many of you nice people who have written to me about it. This was really meant to be shared. I'm finally becoming able to convince myself they we've really done it, because for so long it has looked like an impossibility. I can't imagine anything giving a bigger rush than the feeling I had when Spunky turned to me with the glove in his mouth. Really, if you've ever thought about tracking, don't discount it just because it's hard and takes a lot of effort. You get back what you put in, and tracking gives back in so many, many wonderful ways.Once again, the answering machine is always on, so call me with your news or if you just need an ear. The number is 517 485-5183. And may your dog always be a happy heeler.More on Vaccines, continued.vaccines will make your dogs very ill. Remember, one of my Poms had no reaction to the shot at all. I just hope the knowledge of my unfortunate experience can help someone some day. If anyone reading this has had good or bad experiences with certain vaccines, I would be interested in hearing about them.WIOC, continued from p. 39.held in Pasadena, California, followed by Las Vegas in 1990.
