MARLENE SCOTT Rt. 2, Box 178-C Raleigh, N. C. 27610We were all so sorry that poor health made it necessary for Marge Bullwinkle to resign as your President. She is still acting as Show Chairman for our coming Specialty, and I hope we will all do everything in our power to support this show and make it something to he remembered for years to come. Our judge, Mr. Isidore Schoenberg, has twice before judged our Specialty, each time drawing a record entry. Lets really put this one over the 200 markSam Zaneoff has surpassed all previous records in collecting a fabulous selection of trophies and cash prizes. We hope our Show Catalogue will be another to treasure, even for those not able to attend, as marked catalogues are available from the Show Chairman for S2.50.As you know, our show location has been moved to the McAlpinsee the Secretarys columnand all costs are much more reasonable, including really low room rentals. Send room reservations as soon as possible, if they have not already been sent.And now just a word about our Code of Ethics. For a number of years, members have felt the need for such a Code, and the Board of Directors has studied the matter and consulted with AKC on the subject. It is true that provisions of our own By-Laws should protect and advance our breed, and guide us in all phases of breeding, selling puppies, showing, etc.but it was still felt that an actual code, spelled out in detail and signed by each of us, was needed to supplement the By-Laws. AKC indicated complete approval, providing the Code of Ethics was a separate document and not incorporated in the By-Laws.Almost all the breed Specialty clubs have a Code of Ethics, many that have not had one previously are in process of establishing such a code. Some of these Codes are very, very restrictivesome, for instance, telling their members how many times a brood may have a litter and the minimum approved selling price for puppies.A surprising number of members returned their renewal notices and annual dues without including the signed Code of Ethics. If this was just an oversight, or if upon reading the Editorial in this issue clarifying some of the provisions in the Code, you now feel that you would like to send in your signed copy, please do so at once. If you have misplaced it, another copy can be secured from the Secretary.By the time you have received this issue of the Review, all Club Members will have received my letter on the subject of the clarification and possible revision of our Code. Please think seriously about the matter and let us know how you think the present Code should be revised. Your Officers and Board have no desire to impose an unwanted version on the membership, and anything that the majority of the membership feel should be changed will undoubtedly be changed.Our Revised By-Laws are now in the hands of the AKC. When approved, they will be sent out to every member for vote. Please study them carefully as these rules will guide the Club and all its members in the future.I hope to see a great many of you at our Annual Meeting at 10 a.m., February 11, the day of the Specialty Showand of course, at the Show and Dinner afterwards.POMERANIAN REVIEW 3Pomeranian ReviewOF THEAtttmran Pomeranian Blub 3nr.OFFICERS OF THE CLUB.......................................

Y. 11553Did you enjoy the holidays I hope so. Best wishes to you and yours for a healthy, blessed, and most prosperous New Year filled with many promising puppiesThere has been a change in location for our February 1973 Specialty Show. The show will be held at the McAlpin Hotel, Broadway and 34th Street, New York City, instead of at the Essex House as originally planned. Please keep in mind that all entries will close on January 24, 1973 at 5 p.m. In the event you do not receive a premium list, your entries can be made out on official AKC blank. So, do not get caught napping. We need you in order to make this show more successful than ever. Moss-Bow is again the Superintendent.I am pleased to announce that Mr. Isidore Schoenberg from Texas will judge the Regular Classes, and Mrs. Julie Moreno from California will judge Sweepstakes. Our show will be dedicated to the memory of a most gracious and devoted Pomeranian breeder, Mrs. Gladys Schoenberg. So, do come out, exhibit your lovely Poms that certainly must be a credit to you as a breeder andor exhibitor. The annual meeting will be held on the morning of the show at 10 a.m., prior to the judging. The annual dinner will follow in the evening, beginning at 730 p.m. You will have a good timeLetters were sent out to all members along with dues notices, announcing the formation of a Code of Ethics by thearent Club, which went into effect as of the September 27, 1972 Board meeting. The Parent Club anticipates that all existing and future members, upon his or her signature will abide by this Code. So, my fellow members, if you have not done so before now, show us that you do care, and are not just contented to be members in name only, but instead, do sign the Code willingly and return it with your dues for 1973. The applications for membership in the club have also been revised, and are definitely more complete for my own benefit and have been incorporated with the Code of Ethics.In all due respect, the Parent Club, which is governed by a Board of Directors, has the first and foremost responsibility towards the advancement and protection of our beautiful breed. Undoubtedly, you became a member of the American Pomeranian Club because you sincerely do believe in the principles and aims of the Club, and I do feel confident that you will continue to uphold these values in true dedication as a member andor breeder who has a sincere interest in the welfare of Pomeranians.The newly revised Constitution and By-Laws is now in the hands of the American Kennel Club, subject to their approval before it goes out to the membership for a vote.In March of this year, I will be in the process of compiling a complete new membership list for mailing to all members. But I must stress that all dues must be paid up by March 1, 1973 in order to be eligible to have your name included as a member. So, once more, do not delay the process if at all possible. This listing does provide an excellent source for referrals such as making contacts with members in your area. Besides, why not make it worthwhile as well as updated.POMERANIAN REVIEW 5shown taking BOB at Gainesville, Fla.Ch.

A Committee was appointed, consisting of Dolly Trauner and Mary Casey. The version as you received it was approved unanimously at the September meeting of the Board.As our President explains to you, AKC gives complete approval of such a Code of Ethics as a requirement for membership. The Board did not anticipate any difficulty in getting members to sign it, as so many had already indicated it was wanted.We believe that wording of one particular paragraph that on selling in litter lots has caused most of the confusion. If there are other provisions that are not fully understood or accepted by members, wont you please voice your opinion We have a letter on the subject in Yips Yaps from one of our oldest in years of service and most respected members, which we will now attempt to answer.First, we also agree that each member should have a copy of the Code of Ethics to keep for reference, instead of signing and sending back their only copy. We have printed the Code in this issue of the Review for all to read and study. This will also help any nonmembers who wish to apply for membership, but do not know what the Code involves. We also suggest that a copy on a loose sheet of paper be inserted in each April Review going to members and subscribers.Second, we agree that the term litte] lots is an unfortunate one in view o our extremely small litters where one puppy often constitutes the entire litter But we feel that the intent of the paragraph is clearand we do not see how it can possibly be construed to mear that breeders must not sell more thar one puppy in a litter to the same person As we see it, there is nothing in the Code of Ethics that would prohibit a breeder from selling his entire kennel full of Poms to the same person for whatever price he feels inclined to ask- as long as it is a bona fide sale to an individual and not to a dealer or retail outlet.Third, the provision on record keeping and giving a complete record of each puppy sold to the buyer at time of sale is nothing new at all, and is exactly what is required of ALL BREEDERS by the AKC. Such records are also required by local and most certainly by the Federal Government IRS.Last, the paragraph on refraining from gossip, disparaging of another breeders stock, etc. We firmly believe that all APC members try to conduct themselves in accordance with the provisions outlined here. Human frailty does not always let us succeed in following the Golden Rule and abiding by such a promise. We should feel always that we will do our very best to live up to these goals. Some of our most sacred promises in life such as our marriage vows cannot always be followed to the exact letter and yet, if we have made a public promise to live up to a certain code of conduct, most of us will make every effort to do so.This Editorial was written before our Presidents letter on the subject was mailed out to the members of the Club. We feel sure that revisions will be made in the Code of Ethics, if the majority of the members feel they are necessary.10 POMERANIAN REVIEWPomeraruans oj^ ^JJ-icj-lilcincl19541971Heartfelt congratulations to Jacquelyn Klein of Silver Springs, N.

Y. 1455012 POMERANIAN REVIEWDELEGATES REPORTby KEN MILLERThe quarterly meeting of the delegates of The American Kennel Club was held on Tuesday, September 12, 1972. There is really very little to report concerning the American Pom Club but will give you a rim down on the items that did come up. There were a couple of proposed rule changes, only one of which vould affect the APC.The AKC has been working for some time on the idea of an earlier closing date for entries for all-breed shows. With the increased entries at most shows, it has been more difficult for superintendents to get the judging program andI.D. slips mailed in time to be received before the show. The intent of The AKC is to go to the three week closing dead line. They will also have earlier dead lines for clubs to get their information to the superintendent and AKC for approval of judges and premium list proofs. The advantage as I see it to this proposed change is that all shows will have a uniform closing date.Another change that The AKC is thinking about is the measurement of dogs. This has been controversial for some time and their thinking is Measuring committees would be eliminated. The judge would measure the dog with the handler posing the dog in the proper stance. All measuring would be done in the ring. I know that this does not affect Poms in any way but thought that it might be of interest to some.The AKC is continually making changes in their registration system. They are presently developing a sophisticated computer system to process litter, dog, and transfer applications. One of the features of the system is the ability to capture and store a dogs color by using one of several codes. As your delegate, I was asked to compile a list of the ten Continued on page 53BLACK RIVER KENNELS andJEAN MORGAN PresidentOhio Pomeranian Club CONGRATULATES Donna and Richard MegenhardtOn Their Kennel Visit Watch ForBlack River Stormy Dragon rt6556 Congress Road Spencer, Ohio 44275Puppies Expected January Adora LineCONGRATULATIONSandBEST WISHESDONNA RICKMEGENHARDTTHE COYS 4100 Caven Court Louisville, Kentucky 40229POMERANIAN REVIEW 13rrTHE OHIO POMERANIAN CLUBIS PROUD TO CONGRATULATE TWO OF ITS OWN MEMBERSFOR THEIR KENNEL VISIT IN THIS ISSUE.We SaluteRichard and Donna MegenhardtandMEGS POMERANIANS14 POMERANIAN REVIEWVISIT TO MEGS KENNELby Stella DavisThe Pom story of Megs Kennel actually began when Donna was a child.. She had always had a keen interest in animals and spent many hours helping to care for them on her grandfathers farm.Her first desire for a Pom occured when she was looking through a set of new encyclopedias. Upon coming to a section concerning breeds of dogs, she saw a picture. At that point, a decision was madesome day one of those little furry dogs was going to belong to her. The first actual contact with a real live Pom was in the home of a dressmaker. At this time, Donna was in high school and went to the dressmakers home to have a coat remodeled. Now, more than ever, she felt there must be a Pom in her life. However, the dream did not become a realization until after her marriage.A puppy was purchased from Mrs. Mary Carnes now deceased at the age of five weeks and a more loved dog never existed. Honey Boy was a grandson of Ch. Sealand Moneybox. He grew up to be quite a large Pom, by the standard of today, but to her he was the most beautiful dog in the world. Honey Boy died last April, at the ripe old age of nineteen, and a very much missed boy is he.After finishing college and becoming established in the teaching profession, Donna began thinking about buying another Pom. Having attended several dog shows and talking to different breeders, this time she wanted a small one that perhaps could be shown. It was decided that her Christmas present was to be a new Pom puppy. Inquiries had been made by telephone and I was to expect her on a certain day. On a cold night in December, a terrible snowstorm leaving the roads almost impassible, being a confirmed Pom lover and after over 100 miles of slipping and sliding, she arrived.The prime concern was that the new puppy would mature to be small. Davis Weegold Staretta did mature to be small, at age 10, she tips the scales at not quite 3 lbs. Since then, we have laughed about this many times.Part of the Pom kennel, as you can see It is a center hall plan.-Side view of the MegenhaTdt home.

Pixie was shown to her title entirely from the Bred By Exhibitor class.Ch. Certainly Sweet Of Highland and her son, Ch. Megs Chip Of Pepper Mint, are the most recent champions. Sweetie was purchased from Pat Hopkins as a young puppy and her sire is Ch. May Morning Echo Of Highland, who was bred and now again owned by Sophie Mayes. Chip was sired by Davis Wee Gold Pepper Mint who was also the sire of the first male champion. All of Donnas champions have been owner handled. S3f'r2.'VSVDonna is pictured with some of her kids". Also, outside runs for the Bostons, Pom yard, and ramp leading to the Pom kennel can be seen.check all activities of the Poms by looking through the kitchen window. The individual Pom kennels are a combination of chain link fencing which houses the males and built-in kennels for the females. The Bostons are all housed with chain link fencing both inside and outside. Since they are on the second level, the Poms run a long ramp to their very large fenced grassy yard. L ,The puppy, Megs Sweet Kellee, we hope will he one of our future show dogs, she is 3 mos. old.Puppies are born and raised to weaning age in the Megenhardts bedroom. After weaning, they graduate to the puppy room, which is a converted bedroom. They feel that it is very important to keep puppies close at hand to develop outgoing personalities and for training.If you are ever in the vicinity of Kent, Ohio, be sure to drop in for a chat with the Megenhardts.The Megenhardts have about 25 Poms of red, orange, and sable coloring. Rick enjoys helping with the Poms, but his first love is the Boston Terrier. Rick has finished many Boston champions and several years ago had one of the top winning Bostons in the country.The kennel is a two-level plan, so it accommodates both breeds very well.

CaseyWhat is cheaper by the dozen Eggs, oranges, doughnutsno my friends POMERANIANS. So that you will know what I am talking about, I will quote you a section from a letter I received from a fellow member of the American Pomeranian Club, who is also a very conscientious breeder.I dont know exactly how you feel about the wholesaling of puppies, but I thought you would like to know that a WELL KNOWN BREEDER, who is also A MEMBER OP THE AMERICAN POMERANIAN CLUB, wholesaled twelve puppies to someone up here who put them up fo RE-SALE at our local fair. I was very upset about it and so was ..............................., who is also a member of APC. I know the person who bought the dogs, so I know it is true and we saw the puppies in the tent. Twelve Poms, all from the same breeder, she sure cleaned her kennel out fast. I think that the breeder is more at fault than the person who bought the pups, for if they had not been sold at wholesale she would never have been able to buy them and bring them up here. In fact the breeder told her that she would have to buy twelve in order to get them for 50.00 each. Of course the breeder didnt ask if they were for RE-SALE, but for what other reason would a person buy 11 males and 1 female I think that 8 of them were sold at the fair in Rutland for 60.00 each because the person didnt want to bring them home with her to sell as she is not set up to house that many small dogs.Now I ask youDo you as Members of the American Pomeranian Club feel that this is the right thing to do Is it fair to these little living creatures to pack them off in bulk to the LocalFairs If this BREEDER felt that these pups were just worth 50.each by the dozen, then she must have felt that they were not worth any more than that individually, so why couldnt she have sold them for that to individual homes instead of subjecting them to the traumatic experience of being crated off to be exhibited at Local Fairs several hundred miles away.Have you read Our Clubs Constitution By-Laws lately On page 1, Article II, Section e The Object of this Club shall be To promote honorable conduct in the show ring and in all transactions relating to pedigrees, breeding AND THE SALE OF POMERANIANS. In my opinion, this transaction was not what I would call honorable.Throughout the country, various breeders and Kennel Clubs have banded together to try to prevent this type of thing Breeders Referral Services have been formed to help the public find the breed of their choice and to put them in touch with reputable breeders. The American Dog Owners Association has been doing a tremendous job in combating the wholesale outlets. It is Our obligation to do all that we can to further the work of these organizations and put a stop to this practice.If you do not have a market for your puppies, curtail your breeding program. Do not overload yourself. Breed for the bestRegardless of how good the sire and dam are, we all have some pets that we cannot keep, but there is no excuse for any member of the Parent Club to label themselves as a Puppy Mill.Your Reputation is your most important asset breed discriminately be fair and honest and you will sell your puppies. Your name will always be remembered as one who has contributed to the breed.DEADLINE FOR APRIL FEBRUARY 20POMERANIAN REVIEW 21ARISTA-LARK POMERANIANSWere just a small pebble not far from the beach, but our dogs are from outstanding bloodlines.We have a double son of Ch.

Casey 60 Wilbur Street Raynham, Mass 0276726 POMERANIAN REVIEWFUTURE OF THE REVIEWMore than fifty people responded to our October Questionaire regarding the future of the Review. Most of these were American Pomeranian Club members. There is no doubt at all that readers want the Review to continue and answers were remarkably similar on several points. All said they would be willing to pay a subscription of 6.00 per year, almost all wanted the same format to be continued, all but four or five people felt it would be wrong for the Club to turn the Review over to a commercial publisher.There were several volunteers for helping in some way, but nobody felt able to take over as Editor. Most peojle would like to have 6 issues a year and thought the proposed 9.00 subscription rate for this was reasonable.Our Board of Directors, acting on the results of the Questionaire, has made the following decisions1. The Subscription Rate of the Review will be increased to 6.00 per year by Third Class Mail, with Canadian and Foreign rates proportionately more.2. American Pomeranian Club Members will pay One Half subscription rate by Third Class Mail, at present 3.00 per year, starting with the APRIL 1973 ISSUE.3. ALL SUBSCRIBERS, to receive the Review by FIRST CLASS MAIL, send 1.50 additional. Please send this AT TIME OF SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL, to simplify bookkeeping.4. ALL MEMBERS subscription will start with our lead issue in 1973that is, the April issue. PLEASE SEND PROPER AMOUNT FOR THIRD CLASS OR FIRST CLASS to the Circulation Manager BEFORE APRIL 1st. Hereafter, Members Subscriptions will be included in the check for Annual Dues.5. For 1973, there will be four issues, as usual. At the end of the year, consideration will be given to increasing it to 6 issues per year.6. There will be NO INCREASE in advertising rates for 1973. While our rates are extremely low compared to those of other publications, we feel that we would like the maximum number of people to send in adsso if the present amount of advertising continues, an increase is not necessary at the present time.We appreciate the thoughtfulness of those who sent answers to our Questionaire, especially those who wrote their opinions pro and con at some length. We would also like to explain a a few pertinent facts. First, there is absolutely NOTHING in our By-Laws that says the Review will be sent free to members. Rising costsprinting costs, postage and supplies such as mailing envelopeshave forced the Review deeped and deeper into red ink, making it a real drain on the Club treasury. We felt that the most realistic and also most acceptable course of action was to charge the Members a reduced subscription rate, while also raising the general rate. We felt this was far preferable to either holding down the number of pages in each issue or trying to raise advertising rates enough to cover increased costs. Second, while we can understand and appreciate the desire for 6 issues a year, it must be pointed out that until and unless contributors prove able to meet the present deadline for each issue, it would be madness to attempt two more. Next, before increasing to 6 issues, we will have to see if the Review can break even this year, and if the Editorial problems are solved.This brings us to our most exciting announcement. We have a Volunteer to take over the job of Advertising Manager, which will hopefully take enough of the work-load off the Editors shoulders toPOMERANIAN REVIEWGORRIN'S POMERANIANSOFFERS AT STUDPla-Mor Little Bit of Style 4 lb.

Hanawalt1115 Logan Road Bethal Park, Pa. 15102The following hint was sent in by Judy lone of Utah.I have a hint that may or may not he tews to you. Recently, I read in the Re- iew that many people lost puppies while raveling. Since I traveled some 5,000 niles in 100 plus degree weather with .4 dogs, I feel like a pro. It has been my ixperience that small puppies die from lypoglycemia. If people would keep ome karo syrup or honey on hand and five them some when they look down, hey could save at least 90 per cent of leat stroke puppies. I might add it ioesnt hurt to keep some on hand at he kennel, too. It has saved more than line for me.Editors Note It is our belief that the question No. 2 on STRESS, asked in October Yips Yaps by NAME WITHHELD ON REQUEST, referred to hypoglycemiaoften the RESULT of stress.CANINE MEDICINE, First Catcott Edition, says Functional hypoglycemia occurs most frequently in Toy breeds and hunting dogs following stress or vigorous exercise. A high carbohydrate diet is recommended for susceptible animals, and 50 glucose solution is given during an acute attack.'There is nothing in the literature that suggest an heritary background for susceptibility. Hunting dogs are often kept penned in small runs, taken into the field at opening of the hunting season, without any preconditioning, and expected to do a full days work. Toy breeds, by nature of their small size, are more affected by stress such as drastic changes in temperature, irregular schedule of feeding, or prolonged strenous play.CANINE MEDICINE says, also The object in dietary management of functional hypoglycemia is to supply a continuous source of readily available carbohydrates to maintain normal blood glucose levels. To accomplish this, feedings are increased to at least four a day. During acute attacks, dextrose should be fed at the rate of 1 tablespoon per 10 lbs. of body weight. Table sugar may be used at the same rate in an emergency.Our own experience has been that young puppies from weaning age to three months are most susceptible to hypoglycemia. If still able to swallow, we have revived them with a solution of one-half teaspoon of sugar disolved in about an ounce of water, given by dropper. A comotose puppy may still often be saved by prompt veterinary attention, glucose being given IV in these cases.Susceptible puppies are fed as often as possibleeven more than four times a day. We like to leave some of the soft- moist type of food in their pens for snacking', and give at least two feeding per day of one of the baby cereals, as well as their regular diet.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 the Secretary, or if you only wish to subscribe to the Review contact the circulation manager.

MAILSERVICE IS SLOWReaders, we must all make allowances for the extreme slowness of our national Mail Service. As an example, one ad sent Air Mail from the West Coast took 7 days to get here, one sent Air Mail took 5 days from Texasand one sent First Class Mail from New York City took 7 days to travel the 90 miles which takes 2 hours by carMore than 23 of the material for this issue of the Review came in late. It makes it almost impossible to print the magazine and get it out to you on schedule. You will have to ALLOW MORE TIME IN THE MAIL for your material. The Good Old Days are GONE, we hope not permanently Until service improves, please allow at least a week in transit.On the Other EndIf you get your Review by Third Class Mail, you will have to expect it to take UP TO 6 WEEKS from date of issue to get to you. We have no control over deliveries, which in the case of Third Class Mail are made at the convenience of the Post Offices. The only answer that we can see is to pay the additional 1.50 for First Class Mail. This does NOT go into the Club Treasuryit represents Actual Cost of First Class mailing.

Our newly elected officers are Pres. Mrs. Norris McKamey, Vice President, Mr. Tony Short Sect. Mr. Max Kerfoot Tres. Mrs. Gwen Hodson. Members of the Board are Mr. Raymond Lacey, Mrs. Betty Short, Mrs. Marie Morlan, and Mrs. Virginia Rockhold. Newsletter Editor is Mrs. Joyce Ohrtman.Our first year has been, we feel, a sucessful one. The entries at most of the Iowa shows are now major entries with a big percentage of the wins going to our own club members. We have a few really dedicated breeders that are showing their own stock and winning against them is really an accomplishment. For instance at the Newton, show on Sept. 10 Best of Breed and Winners Bitch for four points was Pom-Pufs MLady Melanie, a beautiful black bitch bred and owned by Gwen Hodson. Winners Dog for four points was Pom Puff Fancy Duke Masterpiece. Master was bred by Gwen and has nearly finished his championship from the puppy class. He is shown by the Hodsons daughter, Bonnie.In Des Moines the next day Beluah Hochstedlers Jeribeth Sonnet of Tim Sue took Winners Bitch for a three point major. The week end of Sept. 17 there were not enough entries for a major, but Beluahs other girl Chittendens Donnella Doll picked up the necessary points to finish.Mrs. McKamey reports that she has finished two champions, McKameys Twinkling Star and M c Ka m e y s Enchanting Fancy. Rita M o d 1 e r s McKameys Enchantment O Gold has also finished her championship. There are several members that only need two or three points to finish their poms andsome very good looking puppies coming up. Watch for us Iowa people at the shows.The Pomeranian Club of Iowa held its third fun match November 19, at Davenport, Iowa. The entries were lower than our previous matches but the quality and enthusisam were there, and I believe we had a larger group of just lookers.The trophy table was piled high with prizes. Although there were no actual trophies every one went home with something. There were enough doggie toys, feeding dishes, leads, etc. that all placings in every class got a prize. Best in Match received a darling doggie bed complete with pillow made and donated by one of the members. The members in the Davenport area went all out and brought covered dishes of food and treated all comers to a delicious lunch. Everyon had a good time and lots of fun.Top winner for the day went to Betty and Tony Short with their male Shorts Just A Little Much. Besides the Best in Match ribbon Mike also took home Best Adult. Best Opposite Sex Adult went to Laceys Little Dutchess belonging to Raymond Lacey. Best Puppy was awarded to a beautiful little cream known as Ace. This little boy belongs to Mr. Wilmer Lyons from Exline, Iowa. Best Opposite Sex Puppy owned by Mrs. McKamey, was McKameys Gold Cinderella. Winners in the puppy classes are as follows.4 to 6 month puppy dogJoda Joe Kool, owned by JoyceOhrtman6 to 9 month puppy dogAce owned by Wilmer Lyons 9 to 12 month puppy dogTwinkle Toes owned by Pat Miller 4 to 6 month puppy bitchBlackorby Debutante owned byCheryl Blackorby 6 to 9 month puppy bitchMcKameys Gold Cinderella owned byMrs. McKamey.POMERANIAN REVIEW 3Great Elms Kennels, RegdCONGRATULATIONS to Marvin and Dorothy Tinkler for their recent' Champion Spungolds Timspepper Pal 20th champion sired by our late Timstopper Again.

CASEY, President HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE AND ALL FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE BAY COLONY POM CLUB MAY ALL OF YOUR HOPES MATERIALIZE AND ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.For many years our little Club stagnated, we ran Our Specialty Show each year, but other than that, Pom interest and activity in New England was at an all time low. In 1971 we started to re-organize, but it was difficult and hope had just about run out but in 1972 we were able to fulfill our dreams and once again Bay Colony began to thrive. New blood began flowing through the veins of the Club and with it came action and enthusiasm. Eight of Our Members finished their Poms to the title and several others are just a few points away from finishing theirs. I might add that most of these were owner handled. I'm sure that 1973 will bring out many more Poms in this area and the credit for this belongs to the wonderful people who have joined together to make Bay Colony a warm friendly organization that is a real credit to the Pomeranian Breed.We hope to publish all of the Bay Colony Champions for 1972 in the April Issue of the Review.At the Lewiston-Auburn Show, Don and Marie Smiths TOPAZE JACK-O DIAMONDS, AM. CAN. C.D. gained the title of Champion by going Best of Breed, and the following day at Portland, Jessie Young took her first home bred Pom through to Best of Breed. At Central New York K.C., Tommy Daniels took the breed with his new Pom puppy only 10 mos. of age TOPAZE MSIER LE BEAU, and at Syracuse Jessie Youngs JABILS DANDY LION was again Best of Breed Continued on page 43POMERANIAN REVIEWGRAY LYNS TINEMITE POMSCANADIAN CHAMPION GRAY-LYNS TINEMITE RED ROBINRobin is now in his new home with owner Phyllis Canfield of Ontario, Canada.

Such was the case when The Ohio Pomeranian Club held a steak fry on Sept. 23, 1972. We thank Jean and Bud Morgan for graciously acting as hosts at their home in Spencer, Ohio. Nominations for Officers and Board members were held after the dinner and ballots will be counted in December.Our last meeting was held on Nov. 4, 1972 in Cleveland, Ohio. The most important outcome was a proposal to study the present constitution of The Ohio Pom Club. A committee was appointed for such a study with the expectation that improvements will benefit the club, the membership, and the Pom.A serious discussion also ensued concerning the code of ethics presented to the members of The American Pomeranian Club, with several questions posed. Who drafted the code and why was it not presented to the members for a vote as was the standard Consensus of opinion agreed that such a code was badly needed. Concern was also expressed for terminology or lack of definition applying to the expression litter lot. It is a well-known fact that Poms are notorious for small litters, often one or two puppies Literally interpreted, the first sentence in paragraph -H- states that a member cannot sell a puppy from a litter of one. Nor can a member sell two puppies from a litter of two or more to the same buyer. An explanation would be appreciated.We will be holding our Christmas party at the home of the Megenhardts in Kent, Ohio on Dec. 9.

Its difficult to pick and choose. We hear that the Fort Worth Stud Book this year is a must to have, 107 listings all in one place when you need to look up one, and only 5.00.Speaking of publications, we think bhat our own Poms and People is quite good. Shows, matches and their winners arent the only things we have. Our educational program is very good with as example Dolly Trauners Dominants and Recessives and Horswells Interpreting The Breed included in print, a very excellent hook list compiled for us by Val Eggers, editorials by Phyllis Andrews such as How I Price My Puppies and So You Want To Be A Breeder and other items such as Erin Hundleys From No Dogs To Show Dogs In 1,000 Easy Lessons, humorous but telling.

They are very attractive, I guarantee you.Speaking of Mrs. Andrews she is very happy that her Scotia Cavs A-Tisket A- Tasket took her second major recently under Judge Maxwell Riddle. Only 4 more points to her American title. She already has her Canadian Championship.We like the goody that the Pom Club of Canada has come up with.

If we learned nothing else we certainly learned a valuable lesson about working together in a common cause. We had to make EVERYTHING ourselves, from trophies, which were spectacular to rosettes and ribbons, ring markers and standards, and all of the 1,000 other things necessary to put on a Match. But our President, Nora Higbee had everything in control and I cant think of anything that really went wrong.

Careful selection goes into the planning before the new pup makes its debut. Dianna McKeever has been showing her Champions son, Sunstyle's Avenging Warlord at the matches lately. The Hanks have done well with their male, who has an excellent coat, named Shahs Debonair Rob Roy. And Jr. Member Bob Higbee has been taking his Jambos Rin-Go-Kid of Andrews into the ring and we think may go far. Phyllis Andrews has a nice female pup waiting in the wings to make her debut.

Wilson of Darkel Kennels, Binghamton, New York, that their little male DARKELS COCO has completed hisC.D. degree. He qualified at his first three consecutive shows, and this at the age of 17 months, with only ten weekly lessons. His scores 188 at Finger Lakes Kennel Club on August 19, 1972 184 at Elmira Kennel Club on August 20, 1972 and 189 at North Country Kennel Club on September 17, 1972. This was really very nice going, especially considering that it was the first time in the obedience ring for both Coco and Dorothy. She describes their whirlwind career as follows Everything didnt go quite as I had planned, but Coco set the pace and I just followed. After ten weekly lessons in beginners obedience he graduated first in his class of seven. Immediately on the advice of our instructor we entered him in two area shows. I didnt feel that he was ready, but he already had his own fan club and they all said yes The big week-end came and all I knew was terror, but by the time we got in the ring I was shaking although Coco was calm and seemed to know what to do. The second day was a little better as I had gained some confidence. Coco had added a few more to his rapidly growing fan club and they were all there to watch. One month later he qualified again for the third time, and his C.D. One week later at the match which I had planned to be our first pre-show practice match he was entered in graduate novice, and qualified, placing second.Dorothy is looking forward to a busy year in 1973with Coco trying for C.D.X. and possibly one of their others working on C.D. The very best wishes for continued good luck to you She writes further It has been such fun, and the obedience ring has gained another avid supporter. There is nothing in my opinion that is any cuter than a little Pom working in obedience. Coco couldnt seem to do enough to please, always looking up with one paw raised each time we stopped racing to get to me when he was called and literally jumping in the air to finish. It is no wonder that he made so many friends. He is a real clown and loves to show off in Pom fashion.WINDYS SPARKLE PLENTY owned by Rose and John Derham of Redwood City, California, completed her C.D. degree in her first three shows too. She is a home-bred, and was trained and shown by John. At Oakland Dog Training Club trail she scored 188, at Santa Clara Dog Training Club189, and at San Francisco Dog Training Club her score was 198. At this last show she was tied for first place in Novice B, but lost the run-off to an outstanding working poodle. Of course she took the trophy for high-scoring Pomeranian. Sparkle will be going on to C.D.X. training, and the best of luck to her.Happy New Year to all obedience Poms and their trainersmay we hear of many new degrees and high scores in 1973.OHIO POM ContinuedDogs Inc. in Columbus, Ohio.

BIRK 1634 S.W. 9th Ave. Fort Lauderdale FLORIDA 33315Recently I had occasion to discuss breeding principles and practices with a fellow columnist who, along with her husband, has really put her breed to the front in this country. A statement made during the conversation keeps popping up in my mind It isnt what you have, but what you do with what you have, that counts. The application to dog breeding is most apropos. Many bloodlines of various breeds have been imported to America, which after arriving, have promptly dropped into limbo. They should be carrying on the brilliant record of their respective breed.In studying pedigrees of GREAT dogs, you find the same GREAT dogs behind them as are found behind some of the junk sold for pets. Some producers PRODUCE, regardless of who the dam is. MOST producers PRODUCE when careful studies are made on the paper behind them, plus the QUALITY of the dam and sire.We Americans, by and large, are not good dog breeders dont know what to do with the best bloodlines when we have them. The proof may be found in the aftermath of any big dog show. It is a common experience for owners of dogs that have won BBs, Groups, or BIS to be deluged with requests for stud services, or puppies from all over the country.So-called breeders who make these requests either are not thinking, or are wholly ignorant of the principles of good breeding, or else they are interested merely in a promotional tag line to help in the selling of puppies and are indifferent to the furtherance of the best interest of their breed.Admittedly, it is a distinct advantage for a dog breeder in displaying his puppy wares to be able to say, Oh, yes, the father of these pups is the famous CH. Such and So that went best of breed at the Garden.This to anyone who knows the first principles of good breeding, doesnt mean a thing. NOR in making this statement am I deprecating the merits of the dog in question that went Best of Breed at the Garden. What I am saying is that this particular dog may not be the BEST match for yours. In fact, unless there was great knowledge of the bloodlines on both sides which would KLICK in such a mating, the chances are pretty good that the Garden Winner isnt the right stud dog for you.To produce the best results, a good dog breeder knows they must counterbalance the bloodlines of the parents in such a way as to attain these desired results in the offspring. I have always thought of a good dog breeder as a painter, who, with a blank canvas before him, know how to blend his color pigments in such a way as to produce the picture he has in mind. The prerequisite to doing this, in dog breeding, is an exhaustive knowledge of the bloodlines with which he is working, and an instinctive feel for it. There is always the danger, however, that newcomers to our breed, going in for first litters, become mesmerized by impressive show winnings and do not give the matter of bloodlines adequate thought, if, indeed, any thought at all.We should pay tribute to the WORKERS in Poms.

Little Timstopper, owned by Mrs. Matta originally, but was later owned by Mrs. Austin, and I think he was shown in 1946, 1947 and 1948. I feel he could definitely go Best In Show now.RUTH L. BEAM PineviUe, N. C.I wanted to say a little about the mystery Pom. Im sure many members will recognize him as Ch. Little Timstopper.In the Dec. 1949 issue of American Kennel Gazette, the APC article was written by Vincent Matta, who was secretary of APC at that time. It is very interesting to reread some of his articles now Ill quote a part of this articleHere in the East the name of Mrs. James M. Austin, Old Westbury, L. I., N. Y., has become closely identified with winning Poms in the last few years. She has always been a lover of the breed, but only lately has she acquired show Poms. Her first, Ch. Little Timsun was 3 times best in show, all breeds, 9 times best toy and 11 times best of breed. An untimely death cut short his career. Next came Ch. Little Timstopper with 2 bestin show, all breeds, 32 times best Toy Never defeated in breed, he has the distinction of going to best Toy at Westminister 2 years in succession, 1947 and 1948. His colored picture published by Life magazine created a sensation all over the states and abroad. Issue of January 31, 1949.In the same article he reported, On the Pacific Coast Ch. Golden Glow Dandy, owned by Mrs. Elva U. Cohen McGilbry Vancouver, Wash, at one year of age has made the following record 8 times best of breed, 6 times best Toy and twice best in show, all breeds.DELEGATE Continuedmost frequently used colors for registration purposes. They are as follows black, red, orange, white, cream, chocolate, brown, orange sable, wolf sable, and red sable. When registering a litter, one of the above colors should be used whenever possible as they will be computerized. Other acceptable colors would be blue, black and tan, parti color, and beaver. The last four colors may be used but would not be computerized. I would like to point out that the color that you put down at the time of registration, may not be the color of the dog when it matures. Sometimes it is difficult to predict exactly what color a puppy will be at maturity. This would not have any effect on the color class that your dog would be entered in at a show. The color of the dog at the time of entry is the color class that it must be entered in, not necessarily what it is registered as.MINI QUIZWhat is the most essential nutrient in the canine dietAnswer on page 56.54 POMERANIAN REVIEWMIDWESTREPORTBEVERLEY C. BERMAN R. R. No. 1 Box 210-C Algonquin, III. 60102Several times in the past few months, the quality of the judging in the Toy Group and particularly in the Pom ring, has left me almost speechless. Consequently, after a recent show, I cornered a well known all breed judge who had been sitting ringside watching the judging. When I made known my viewpoints and protested that an exceptionally nice little black did not go up, he retorted that it did not have as much coat as the orange winner. However, in my opinion, the black was a better black, than the orange was an orange. To my dismay, this gentleman proceeded to rattle off his method of rating a Pom. So many points for coat, so many for head etc., a standard that went out with bloomersDespite my efforts to bring him up to date on our latest standard revision, I could tell by the dogmatic attitude he professed, that no fortyish whipper- snapper was going to set this patriarch aright. Maybe I am a natural for espousing lost causes, but when an exhibitor plunks down that ever increasing entry fee, he is certainly entitled to a competent judging of his dog. It might be a good idea for the club to send out a reminder to all judges that all colors merit equal consideration.In England, where the judging is done on a somewhat different plane, the judges write a critique of each dog that comes under their hands. From time to time, my friends in England send these published descriptions to me and I never cease to marvel at how these people get right to the point and fearlessly give thebasis of their judging placements. Over here, I guess we are a more timid bunch and try to avoid hurt fellings.At the Western Pom Specialty, there was a nice turn out. I had asked Mrs. Welsh for her judging critique but as it is close to the publishing deadline, it may have to wait for the next issue. She informed me that it was her policy not to make individual evaluations, but she would comment on the entry as a whole.The time of the year was not conductive for full bloom coats and many were lacking in that department. The cost serious faults commonly seen were bad legs and low set ears. Stumpy front legs, down in the pasterns and improper rear leg movement all were to be seen. The low set rather large ears can be disguised by brushing up an abundant frill, but the vast wasteland from ear to ear on top of the head cant be hidden. Color- wise, several blacks and a cream were present in the throng of orange and a few sables. The bounciness that used to spell POM was hardly to be seen and many of the exhibitors walked at such a slow pace that it made one wonder about the construction of the dogs legs. In my book, first place in personality went to the puppy that took W.D. He was one of the few that did not show woodenly, but on the other hand, others did not show at all.Getting back to color, some really clear bright oranges were on hand. Now when it comes to a sable, I would refer you to the description in our standard, thus a dog with black hairs, not black tipped guard hair, but solid black hair mingled all through the orange does not fit the description of a true sable. It looks rather like a very muddy orange. The true sable is a very flashy looking dog. I personally would not fault a sprinkling of dark in any color but this is not a true sable. In any event this muddy shade that seems betwixt and between is hard to place in any color catagory.POMERANIAN REVIEW 5I was rather concerned with the small size of the bitches being shown. The only one of breedable size didnt make the ribbons. The girls were just darling little dogs, but will they be able to fulfill the prime function that nature intended I think not. I shall probably get a flood of mail from irate breeders professing to have three pound free whelp- ers, but I would like to see at first hand for myself. I have seen smallish Paps pop out pups like pickles, unfortunately, I have never been so blessed with a small Pom bitch.Now for the winners Puppy Dog 9 months and under 12 months was taken by Pompuf Fancy Duke Masterpiece owned by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Hodson.

Salem, Oregon 97301To begin my report this time I would like to mention a Chihuahua. She is my Ch. La Modas Kachina, a tri-colored longcoat, and is my 50th champion of record, although all this is just incidental to what I am leading up to. Kachina's first major, a 5 point win, was made at the winter Seattle show, where she also went Best of Variety over a champion. Our judge was the well-known Pomeranian breeder-judge, Anne Cowie. After two more majors which included a Best of Variety and a Best of Winners, she topped off her short show career with a 4th major for 4 points and Best of Winners under another noted Pomeranian breeder-judge, Miss Virginia Sivori at the Evergreen Chihuahua Specialty which is held in August with the Olympic KC show. Since I do have both Pomeranians and Chihuahuas it was quite gratifying to have this very special Chihuahua start and finish her show career under judges who started with Pomeranians.There have been several good shows in the Pacific Northwest since our last report, starting with the highly competitive five show Cal-Ore Circuit. Exhibitors are attracted to this circuit from many states, but our sister state to the south is responsible for the largest percentage, it seems. Since this circuit attracts many handlers, again mostly from California, it is highly gratifying when a locally owned, owner handled dog can make the grade to win one of the coveted majors.

Our sister Club near Seattle, the Puget Sound Pomeranian Club, is doing considerable to help promote the show, and their efforts are appreciated. We hope to be of help to them when they are ready for their first point show.I have been thinking for some time about a problem at least I think it is a problem which seems to be all too common among Pomeranians. Since I became a member of APC I have thought many times of writing to Yips and Yaps and getting some ideas from others about this, but have hesitated, as I know it will be considered controversial.I am referring to a common belief among most of the Pom breeders to whom I have talked in the past 20 years that it is normal, or at least not unusual for a Pomeranian male to retain one testicle for up to nine months. I have been told this by knowledgable, longtime breeders as well as those who have not been breeding for many years, but I cannot agree with them. I have been breeding dogs for 20 years on my own, and my father before me raised toy dogs through my entire childhood. I worked in veterinary clinics for five years with veterinarians who advised me, explained theories and facts, and who kindly let me study their libraries and reference notes. I cannot see that a Pomeranian should be considered any different in this respect than any of the other toy breeds, or any dog for that matter.I feel that any breeder who does not cull out any males that show a tendency to this condition is promoting the inevitable a breed of dogs that will, sooner or later, be known for a strong tendency to monorchidism. Since Pomeranians are already prone to luxated patellas slipped stifle I dontPOMERANIAN REVIEWPARKA POMERANIANSSPRING PUPPIES EXPECTEDSeveral Studs Available Brilhis sons and our new Magic a Duke sonWatch for him in the ring.Best Wishes to All for the New YearLeslie Parker 9705 Jackie LaneSt. Louis, Mo. 63123 Phone 314-487-6572'i '.s-iicliCh. Bonners Sunstyle Brilliancelike to think of what could happen to this lovely little dog in a few more generations. There is more to a Pomeranian than a pretty face and a beautiful coat. When they have to have surgery by an unethical veterinarian to correct a slipped stifle so they can walk, or to put a testicle where it belongs, there is trouble brewing. The stiffle trouble is passed on in the line, even if you have it corrected surgically in the parent. So, too, is the retained testicle a hereditary thing in almost all cases. I strongly feel that a Pomeranian male puppy should have both testicles where they belong by the time they are weaned or very shortly after, or be sold as a pet. By making excuses for the late ones you are encouraging an undesirable condition, with later and later dates for the time the retained testicle does come down, if it ever does It is possible to keep on breeding dogs that cant walk, but have you ever thought what can happen when a unilateral orchism becomes a bilateral You have a chryptorchid then, with sterility. How soon will it be before this gets to be a serious problem in PomsHow about some ideas from others There are a few Pom people who think I dont know anything about breeding or genetics, but how far off base am I where Poms are concernedEditors Note Testicles may be retained anywhere along the route of descent, including in the abdomen, at the inguinal ring, or in the inguinal canal . . . Cryptorchidism is inherited as a recessive factor and is fairly common in certain breeds. When both testes are not located normally in the scrotum by 6 to 8 months of age, one should suspect that this factor has been inherited. The American Kennel Club will not allow such dogs to be shown, and no treatment should be performed except bilateral orchiectomy castration or bilateral ligation of the vas deferens so that the animal cannot be bred. To help eliminate the factor, neither the parents nor any siblings of the affected animal should be used for breeding.

It wasnt just a group of cute little puppies. The majority were excellent. The breeders of these puppies should be proud to show them. There were oranges, a wolf sable, a black and a black and tan.The Holidays are about here and the show season has slowed down a little.

This has made the County Health Department very strict Continued on page 74MYWAYBy MOLLY MILLER P. O. Box 717 League City, Texas 77573The time has come to talk of many things of breeding stock judges breeders cabbages and kings.I seldom get on a soap box in this column. In fact I try to avoid it, but when carelessness, or uncaringness or whatever the reason, dooms many members of the breed that you and I love to lives of torture, it is time for us to take our heads out of the sand and look. A couple of years ago legs began to look better now the pendulum is swinging back. The only way to stop this hidious trend is for all breeders to leam to evaluate knees. Some are perfectly sound some have slightly loose patella, others have patella out of place and muscled over, still others have joints that slip. Now it is not easy for a breeder to learn to feel this. It will probably take a knowledgeable breeder much time to teach it to another. I had several people help me learn this, and I still thank them.Lack of knowledge is one of the main problems in leg improvement. I like to be able to check for myself any stud that I plan to breed to. By the way this is sometimes a nice surprise, I recently checked a champion that I plan to breed to and found his legs to be much better than I had thought them to be. It made me feel good for days. Of course it is not always possible to put ones hands on a stud. Then a breeder must evaluate what the studs owner says. An honest stud owner will try to help and describe the knees in terms of ligament tension on the varying parts of the joint.

Oh, I know maybe you can cover it up, but maybe you cant. What then A loving creature is doomed to pain everytime one of his rear feet touches the ground. Can you live with that When a breeder risks bad bites, big ears, or poor color only the breeder is hurt if his gamble fails. If, however, a breeder risks bad legs, and his gamble fails, the innocent dog is tortured for life.Do not depend on the judges to winnow the chaff for you. Most judges are not toy dog breeders and do not recognize the problem. As a result there are some crippled Pom champions. I once a few years ago was in BB competition and saw a Pom champions knee come out of place and the dog fell on the floor Good grief breeders be careful. I do not really blame the judge. He has only a short time to make a decision, and he may not have a wide knowledge of our breed problems. I blame the breeder who knows what he is doing and takes his ego trip at the expense of the dogs that you and I love.Speaking of judges, and we often do, I have a new plan to offer. Instead of raving about that judge that you will never show under again, how about raving about that judge that knows the breed. Talk him up. Be active enough to make your voice felt in your local all breed club so that when the time comes for judges to be selected you can assure our breed of quality evaluation. A person who does not work has no right to gripe. One who does work has no time to. You can do it. All it takes is the breeders standard 48 hour day.Now let us turn to the subject of breeding. As I have mentioned in thepast, unusual occurrances seem to suddenly appear in several kennels at the same time. Four kennels, my own included, have recently had bitches, come in season, seem to go out, and then come back again almost like two seasons. I had two do this. One was not bred as it was her time to be skipped. The other was bred three times over a period of eight days. She is now obviously in whelp I will be interested to see from which breeding she conceived.Shortly after mine, a bitch shipped in for stud service did the same thing and was treated the same way. No sooner had she gone home than a letter arrived from a third breeder describing the same condition. The only difference this time was that the bitch was bred four times.A few days later a telephone call told of a bitch in a fourth kennel doing the same thing. In this case however, the stud refused her on the first season and bred her on the second.I have only had this happen once before. That time the bitch was bred only during the first season and did conceive one puppy. Next time I will tell you what these four have done.I deeply appreciate receiving news letters from several Pom clubs. Often ideas are incorporated into this column. Recently two items caught my attention in the Puget Sound Pomeranina Club letter. One item concerned an illness contacted by a Pom at a show. This little girl had to be pulled from shows as a result. Taking an ill dog to a show is fair neither to the dog nor the other exhibitors. There is a rule against it, you know.The same news letter mentioned a puppys becoming entangled in its mothers hair.

No. 1, N.S., CanadaGreetings from north of the border. The other day, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation carried a radio interview with an aged Indian who claimed to he able to predict the weather by observing various signs in nature. He feels a long, hard snowy winter is approaching. While I dont have this understanding of nature I have noticed that my poms are sporting especially dense coats. Could be hes right Despite storms and rumors of storms I know great numbers of pom folks are planning a trip to New York for the Specialty and Westminister. Teaching is again part of my life, but, this year time will be available for the New York trip.

Unless one is involved with writing a column,such a small j'ob compared to Sophiesone cannot imagine the time it consumes. There are letters to be answered. How hard it can be to find those precious minutes when, pen, paper and necessary information are at hand. All correspondence must be clipped and filed, along with interesting bits and stories that come your way. Finally, theres the plain hard work of putting the column together. All this is minutes compared to the many, many tasks required of the Editor and Advertising Manager. Mentally Ive always pictured someone working at it full time. The production is well turned out, sleek and smooth. Sophie, you have been doing a tremendous job. Let us hope it will be possible to find within our club someone who can take some of the load from you. My personal feeling is that it is far, far too much to ask of anyone.Back to Canada. This week I received the Pom News and Views, the official publication of the Pomeranian Club of Canada. It was a fine newsletter containing interesting information and views, served up with though provoking comments. Advertising rates are very low. The Editor is Mrs. Dorothy Timmins, 14605 Winter Crescent, Surrey, B. C. Earlier, I heard from Mrs. Lill Ritz Lutgendorf concerning the club and suggested Robert B. Laskey act as their representative.A number of clubs have been kind enough to send me their newsletters. Thanks, folks, they are all deeply appreciated.Not long ago I received a letter from a new breeder in Iowa. She brought up a couple of interesting points which Ill pass on. First, she would like six issues per year, of The Pomeranian Review. Secondly, an inquiry was made about the possibility of using the emblem on the top of the Pom Review as the model for a pom pin. How I wish we had a pin of our own. The final query was about a binder to hold the copies of the Review.The size of the magazine itself seems to lend it the annoying habit of getting lost at our house. A binder would be just the thing. Does the club have one or do any of the members have suggestions regarding themThe last Review contained much food for thought. Its good to know other breeders use the tube method of saving puppies who cannot seem to get their wee paws started on the path of life. A Canadian breeder told me that she gave half a feeding to all tiny puppies born at night. The nourishment seemed to give them that small added boost to get going. She felt on occasion it had made the difference between a live or dead puppy the next morning. My veterinarian has advised me to keep one tube onPOMERANIAN REVIEW 65hand for use when giving an enema to a small puppy.The Yips and Yaps Section held a letter which started me thinking or should I say, fanned into flame thoughts which have been smouldering for some time. Are there many breeders who have not had to discard a really good one because one testicle was not down Perhaps its the all too human quality of wanting that which we cannot have that makes these puppies seem exceptional. Im sure it has happened to most of us. Can we draw from our membership any information on the prevention of this The diet theory is interesting. Has anyone had success with shots From my own position as a breeder Id like to know more about it. Information on the subject seems scarce. It rather reminds me of the expression someone used concerning the public attitude toward mental illness and tuberculosis at the beginning of this century, We put the tubercular patients in the attic, the mental patients in the basement and hoped the neighbors heard of neither. Could we have a clear cut, precise article by a veterinarian explaining why these testicles dont come down and what we as breeders can legally do about it Some of our poms have a real problem shedding their baby teeth. If we are not watchful they can actually have a double set of teeth top and bottom. Now, I may have my veterinarian remove these puppy teeth, which for some inherited reason fail to come out, but I may not have a testicle brought down, which for reasons of circumstance or inheritance remains, or is held within the body. In one case we can nudge mother nature along, in the other it is out of the question. Yet, both seem to be involved with time and circumstances. Ideas, anyonePlease mail me the results of your Canadian Show wins.

Mrs. Ariel Sleeth, of Sovereign Collies read it and included the article in her column on ColliesShelties appearing in Dogs in Canada, November issue. Lastly, I read it, and pass it on to you the members of the Pom Club of America. Truly, it is a round world.The author was reflecting upon the breeding plans of his own breed, but the sentiments fit us all.It is important to reflect on ones breeding plans and to realize what one can and cannot expect. If we were planning a trip by car of several hundred miles we wouldnt expect to arrive in fifteen minutes. Wed adjust to an expected arrival time of four hours. A breeding programme is much like that trip. We know our starting point the stock we have to work with. We also know where we would like to go the ideals dog as described by the standard. Now, to plan the trip. The time it will require depends upon the stock with66 POMERANIAN REVIEWwhich we begin. Some breeders feel that in one breeding they will make the entire trip. They try to travel two hundred miles in fifteen minutes and crash in the attempt. On that long trip we are all making there are stops that are much less attractive than the ultimate destination. Yet, to get to that destination we must make these less attractive stops along the way.You need each rung of the ladder if you are to get to the top. The trip can be longer than you planned, you may be delayed, you may be lost, you may lose your patience, you may never reach your destination, but, planning your trip and sticking to the itinerary will give you a better chance to get there.If you lose your eye sight you are through driving. If you go kennel blind you are through breeding. If you become lost on the trip there is nothing to stop you from asking directions. To be able to make the trip you must learn to enjoy the intermediate stops on the road, and you must enjoy the trip itself. If you hate the trip youll never get close to your destination.If you planned it right, the dogs you started with were such that another breeder had already made part of the trip for you. Time may have forced him to park his car at the side of the road, ready for another to drive on and continue the trip.It is most likely that we also will not reach our ultimate destination, but let us leave the car at the side of the road, further toward our goal than where we picked it up. Let us be certain to leave road maps so that another can take it further and eventually someone will make it. The collie pom, I hope, will one day reach the destination we seek. I do not know who will be there and who will be gone. I do not know when the breed will get there. I only hope that wherever I will be when it happens thatI will be permitted to know that I helped and that I had driven part of the way.Good luck to all of you on your journey. See you at the Specialty.MYWAY Continuedenough. Besides clipping the underside to make the milk easily obtainable, remove long pants, tail hair, and side coat.I have asked many things of you.

It was really an honor and a thrill for us. We are settled in our home here and have enjoyed entertaining Pom people so much. Hope to see many more in the near future. We are proud new members of the Sunshine State Pomeranian Club and have had the opportunity to become reacquainted with so many old friends as well as the fun of meeting new ones. We do miss our great Texas friends and hope to get to see them occasionally. Wish we could move them all hereMRS. LILL RITZ Rosedale, B. C. CanadaTo Mrs. Andrews comments on coat color I can say the subject is closed, to the satisfaction of the majority of breeders, some with long experience, who decided by vote what was BEST FOR THE BREED A correct coat looks beautiful, whatever colour it is, whether it has 2 or 3 under andor overtones. I have yet to see an ugly Pom colour. Perhaps what we need is a bit of an artists eye to be ABLE to see the beauty in ALL colours, Instead of sticking to stereotyped tone-on-tone colours, which in the end become pretty boring. Certainly continued inter-breeding the orange to red scale can create problems like lack of type and pigment, including poor flat coats. One well-known English breeder-judge recently in a show critique blasted the lack of pigment and coat texture in English Poms and put it right down to sterotyped colour breeding. Marvin Latham, famous old-time breeder said he always tried to keep some good sables in his kennel. He already recognized the fallacy in orange tone-on-tone breedings.I salute Dorothy Bonner on her most pertinent sentence in last Yips and Yaps COLOUR IS IMMATERIALNAME WITHHELD BY REQUESTIn response to Phyllis Andrews. In an effort to de-fuse this mounting controversy, I should like to point out that the lady is placing an unwarranted degree of importance on the word, OR. The question is not one of breeding or color it is a question of semantics. The logical alternative to the word, OR, in the sentence in question is the word, AND.If you were to print that sentence as any solid color with lighter AND darker shadings of the same color, you can immediately see that it would be subject to an even greater amount of misunderstanding. Then we would have someone criticising dogs which did not show BOTH lighter and darker shadings If Ms. Andrews personally prefers a dog of solid color with ONLY lighter OR darker shadings of the same color, that is her prerogative. However, the breed standard is not this explicit in its limitations of acceptable colors, nor do I believe its authors and those voting for its adoption intended it to be if they did so intend, I am confident their choice of words would have left no room for doubt. They could have said EITHEROR, but they did not Ms. Andrews also seems to take exception to the inclusion of the word, superficial, in your earlier reply. Again, this seems to be a semantic problem that has nothing to do with her self-described status as a novice breeder. The preferred definition of the word, "superficial, is of or pertaining to the surface. Coat is indeed on the surface of the dog, as opposed to its skeletal structure. It would appear that Ms. Andrews gave the word its secondary definition not profound, shallowand by inference, therefore, unimportant, inconsequential.While breeders and exhibitors are permitted to own and breed their favorite colors, and to exhibit any of the acceptable colors, a licensed judge has no such prerogative the licensed judge, in order to obtain hisher license, must have certified that they will judge only accordingly to the breed standard. That means the judge, no matter how he may dislike black Poms, must judge them on an equal basis with all other acceptable colors. Any judge who does not so judge is liable for censure, reprimand or worse. Likewise, the Judge is not permitted to put up dogs solely because they happen to be of a color he prefers while ignoring others of better, sounder conformation whose color he does not care for. A judge who persists in either of these two courses ignoring fine dogs of a color he does not like, or putting up inferior dogs simply because he does like the color will not be around very long.In a word, Ms. Andrews seems to be putting a much stricter interpretation on the color phrase in question than was ever intended, or than is actually expressed, once the grammatical alternatives are considered. I fear she is fighting a losing battle, if her aim is to convince other breeders and judges that her interpretation of this phrase is the only correct one.68 POMERANIAN REVIEWYIPSRUTH L. BEAM Pineville, N. C.Its uncanny how people and things pop up to cause me to have to continually put off getting this letter and ad to you. If nothing else stops me, falling asleep does. I sometimes think I have narcolepsy. Its come to the place that I hate to do ANY kind of paper work, so I wonder if getting too sleepy to do it, is a form of neurosis.If you had a hand in making up the club code, you wont like what I am going to say, though there are only a few points of which I do not wish to comply.First of all, the members should not have to send BACK the code of ethics as I dare say, not one member will memorize it before returning or make a copy of it.I have a record of every sale I have made since I sold my first puppy in 1938, but if I dont always have the litter registration back when I sell a pup, I dont give the customer a record on the pup. I sell so few pups that there is just no way there could be a mix up.I have had no problem with my method in the past 34 years and I'm SURE I won't remember to always fill out a form on every pup I sell before the litter registration arrives.As for the section on idle gossip, it is my opinion that not one breeder and, or, exhibitor member will be able to adhere to that section of the code.In the last section, I would certainly comply to all parts except the first sentence which states No member will ever sell dogs in litter-lots. Im lucky to get or RAISE as many as 2 pups in a litter. It is QUITE unusual for me to raise as many as 3 in a litter. The great majority of my litters wind up in being one puppy litters. If breeders want to buy a litter of 2 females from me, I will sell them the 2 pups. There is nothing wrong about that. I recently sold a young woman a litter of 2 female pups. They will not be resold nor will they ever be bred. She said 2 would be more fun than one and they would also be happier.A lot of members will sign this code and then go merrily along their way of doing exactly as they always have.I realize Im a nut in a LOT of ways, but I wont sign a pledge that I cannot keep. Ill send in my dues and if the board wont accept me as a member without my signature on the code of ethics, it will be farewell and goodbye for me.I don't think you will want to put the aforesaid in Yips and Yaps, but if you should, it will be all right with me. YAPSSince I had a small part in rewriting the new standard, I feel that I may be able to clear up the meaning of the word Or that seems to be misunderstood by a member of the club, though this was not my wording in the standard. Mine was even more simple.Lighter OR darker shadings of the same color, and solid color with sable OR black shadings, means both are correct and should be judged on an equal basis. Neither should be preferred over the other.The OR can be clearly explained by the following If an article is priced at 1.00, it can be paid for with a dollar bill OR 2 halves, OR 4 quarters OR 10 dimes, etc.A breeder can certainly like or prefer red- orange or bright red, but these colors are supposed to be judged on an equal basis with ALL other colors and should NOT be judged as Preferred colors. Some breeders prefer white, some black, some cream, some sables, etc.DOROTHY BONNER San Antonio, TexasWith judging assignments .in different parts of the country, I am continually impressed with the quality of Pomeranians shown under me. While other Toy Breeds seem to vary, considering the locality, Poms of excellent quality appear everywhere, and it seems that the breed is now coming forward for more Best-in-Show wins than any time in its history. Here-to-fore, there has often been a single top winner, where now a number are taking these honors. Since the retirement of fabulous Ch. Corn's Duke Dragonfly, and later, Ch. Dukes Lil Red Baron of OKala, Best-in-Show winners have included Ch. Sheeba's Little Dragonfly, Ch. Holder's a Lil Red Flash, Ch. Topaze Happy Interlude, and Ch. Milos Mischief Gold Pat. Taken from the American Kennel Club Gazette records from November 1971 through October 1972. Toy Group winners have been Ch. Rosewoods Timstopper Again, Ch. Randys Duke of Dragonfly, Ch. Stylish Patrick of Spungold, Ch. Morrocos Pandora, Ch. Creiders Timothy Topcat, Ch. Blossom View Hi Style Hilo Boy, Ch. Wilmas Gentleman Gee Whiz, Ch. Shellcrests Rebelsun Spark, Ch. McKameys Just a King, Ch. Myway Duke Celou Celae, Ch. Bonner's Stylelucky Gaybit, Ch. Hillsides Little Pepper Red, Ch. Great Elms Timstoppers Image, Ch. Owens Peppercorn, Ch. Bejune's Wee Major of Willomar, and Ch. Sams Gay Blade Sandidol. Pomeranian breeders should be proud and happy that our breed has taken such a giant step forward.POMERANIAN REVIEW 69YIPS YAPSMARY F.

GIRARDOT Floral City, Florida AT HOME AWAY FROM HOME The 26th of Sept. I took off for the north land, some shows in Va., Pa. and Md. Was all alone but for 3 dogs and like always never feel alone when I have some Poms with me. Winning on this trip was nil but I surely did have fun visiting. First my brother and his family in Charlotesville, Va. Then on to Julie Brumback and family in Harrisonberg, Va. After the Devon show I headed for Connecticut to stay a couple of nights with Mary Jane Wilson. Did a lot of talking, ate a lot of good food and had a good time. Then on to stay a few nights with Bert and Catherine Bedell. This was like home coming to me for I often stayed with them when attending the Long Island shows. One of the days with them Bert drove Catherine and me up to visit John and Katherine Probst. Ina Kniffin lives near them so she came there to visit with me. More good food, visiting, and then back to Long Island. Friday morning I took off for Maryland and the three shows there but would you believe it, I did not go to the one on Mondaybut took off for home by early afternoon Sunday from the Gaithersberg show. I was so lonesome and anxious to get home. Pulled in here five thirty in the afternoon the next day. Gone nearly 3 weeks and that was enough for that time. I surely did have fun tho visiting old friends and seeing so many I knew at those shows, an area I had shown in for many years. I did gather 4 points for my male and 5 pts. for my female so did not get skunked altogether. Disappointed that two of my wins on the female would have been majors but for a female being excused at one of the shows and one absent at the other. Anyway, I made up for it 2 weeks later when I went to Chicago for the Pom Specialty, International, and Rock River Valley. Took the bitch only as the male had shed out when time to go. Win at the Specialty was 2nd Open, not even Reserve. Next two days were my days to win. Went BB both days for two 5 pt. majors and went over the Champion entries besides. This was with Silver Meadow Charm of Scotia, bitch I purchased from Jackie Klein. I was so proud of the wins, more for the breeder than myself. This finished her with some to spare as I had 9 pts. when I went out there.In Chicago I was guest of the Varneys who live in a beautiful suberb, Deerfield. Dick and Betty met me at the airport, had me as guest in their lovely home, taxied me to the shows and returned me to the airport for my return home.My trip to Chicago was so easy. I flew out, met at airport by Dick and Betty Varney who live in a beautiful suberb. Deerfield. Had an afternoon and a full day before going to shows so had time for much visiting. The Varneys have several of my dogs so of course was anxious to see them. Their kennel setup is in the basement and beautifully arranged and organized. I think tlie dogs actually knew me or at least it seemed so.Going to the shows was a dream for Dick drove, did all the work, knew right where he was going so for me it was about the easiest show going I have ever had. I met so many Pom folks, many I had heard of and read about but had never met. I think this is the real fun of going to shows, meeting and talking with people. Monday came and flight time and in just 2 hours after boarding plane we set down in Tampa. If I could manage it, I would fly all over the country to dog shows. It was a grand trip and to see so many Poms. Entries here are so small and majors so hard to come by.Did want to say that the judging at the Pom Specialty left much to be desired. I do not mean to say the judge did not know her dogs,70 POMERANIAN REVIEWYIPS YAPSbut do want to say she did not give them a chance to really show themselves. She had a large ring but she only gaited them on the short end of the ring, just up and back, not more than 20 feet if that. Poor little things did not have a chance to even warm up. Even when entering the ring and going around it was a scant once. Too, the judge never went to the rear of the dog to examine them on the table. A quick approach, felt of them from the front only, gaited each that tiny distance, lined them up and that was it. Fast and furious and it was all over. At the International show and Rock River, the ring was large, the judges had our Poms go around three or more times, gaited each down, across and back up the center. The dogs really had time and opportunity to fall into stride and show the audience that they can really travel.In closing, may I say I hope all of you have good and happy holidays and I hope too, that some of you will make our Florida circuit in January. I have had many Pom folks visit me this past year. It has been a pleasure and do keep coming. Everyone is most welcome.JACQUELYN KLEINSilver Springs, N. Y.I'm not sure what constitutes a record but thought that Review readers might be interested in the fact that we have a mother Pom, 9 yrs. S mos. of age, currently nursing her new litter of two lively little boys This old gal came from Mrs. Hills Deli Wee Kennels in Fla. over nine yrs. ago she has been as sound and rugged a Pom as I have ever owned, and even now shows no signs of getting-on she still has most of her teeth, and is not bothered with arthritis. Her sire was Ch. Rushings Gay Don Showstopper, a son of Ch. Thelcolynns Showstopper her dam a grandaughter of Ch. Aristie Sunbeau and Ch. Ducal Billy Buttons. Karen has whelped a total of 24 puppies here at Silver Meadows. Editors Note This item was sent in for the October issue, not used because of lack of space. Jackie tells us that the two little boys have grown to very promising adolescents and one has been sold.NAME WITHHELDI am impelled to reply, or comment, on the letter published on page 84 Oct. Review Name Withheld by Request. In reference to the writer's first point, there are several genetically possible colors in the brown series about which no mention is made in either the old or the new breed standard. For example, whatabout the brown version of the "blue dilution of black The result is certainly a solid color, with or without shadings of a lighter or darker tone of the same color. In any breed in which black, brown, and blue appear this same dilution of brown can appear at any time. Was this the color meant by that mysterious term, "Beaver As you also own Doberman Pinschers, you know that the so-called red Dobie is actually the brown version of black and tan. Again, there is no mention of this genetically possible color in the Pom breed standard, or was THIS the mysterious Beaver And of course in any breed which accepts black and tan in the show ring, as well as brown or chocolate and blue, breeders are bound to crop up with the blue dilution of both the black and tan, and the brown and tan so-called Isabella, In Dobies. Perhaps none of these were intended to be acceptable colors by the authors of the present breed standard, and are to be buried or sold as pets as were the black and tans until very recently.But back to the question of the difference between brown and chocolate. In another breed, Poodles, there are two distinct types of brown one is a dark, "drab brown, the other is a dark reddish-brown. Surprisingly, it is the drab-brown puppy which tends to lighten more with age while the red-brown puppy can generally be seen to hold its color into adulthood. Just what the difference is, genetically, has not been determined but most Poodle breeders interested in the color agree that the difference exists. Perhaps the terms, brown and chocolate, were used by Pom breeders of former years to distinguish between similarly behaving, slightly different colors, as in the PoodlesOn the writers second point stress. There have been a number of recent studies done regarding stress, in animals as well as humans. Dr. Michael Fox, Ph.D., a well-known expert on canine behavior, has written on this subject, I believe. But there are undoubtedly many more references which the letter writer could obtain by visiting a good library. From what I have read on the subject, the ability to withstand stress has less to do with hereditary factors than exactly when, during the early life of the individual, stress was encountered. It appears, from some experiments done with both animals and human infants, that a certain amount of stress is desirable that the wholly protected individual tends to lack the stamina, drive and resiliance of the individual that has been subjected to moderate stress from time to time in infancy. In a word, there may really have been some truthPOMERANIAN REVIEW 7YIPS YAPSin the old saying that taking cold haths builds characterOn the writer's final point testicles. I find it a logical supposition that mechanical blocks, such as concretions of fat, may be as much a cause for monorchidism as a hereditary abnormality in the particular structures involved. After all, the testicles must travel from their original location near the kidneys, down through the entire length of the abdomen with its full quota of intestines and other organs, and must "thread the eye of the needle", as it were, by finding and traversing the inguinal canal before finally reaching their intended destination in the scrotum. The marvel is that they do it at all, rather than that sometimes one or both fail This journey of the testicles is made late during embryonic life, and as we have often seen it is sometimes not completed until as late as 6 months after birth.After observing for some years a line of Toys of another breed than Poms, in which monorchidism was a considerable problem, I developed a theory that the defector a tendency toward itmay be inherited as a sex- linked trait. The sons of a monorchid seemed relatively free of the defect it was the grandsons out of the monorchids daughters that seemed more apt to have it. It seemed to meand to a considerable number of others who responded to an article I wrote on the subject published in Dog World that monorchidism behaves in a fashion similar to hemophilia or color-blindness the mother is unaffected, but passes it from her father to her sons. That last sentence is an oversimplification some women do suffer from hemophilia and color-blindness, but VERT rarely to the same degree as men. Since the ovaries of a female are not required to travel such distances, and in any case are tucked away out of sight, it is generally impossible to determine whether females suffer a lesser form of "monorchidism as they do of hemophilia and color-blindness. I would be interested to learn what results the letter- writer observes among the males in his kennels some years from now, after using the daughters of monorchids as his principle broods.NORMAN K. JEROME Hollywood, FloridaOn my recent trip to England to visit the very charming mistress of the famous Pass- field Poms, I had the pleasure of attending the Southern Counties outdoor championshipshow at Ardingly, in Sussex County.

C. show I had just set up all my usual paraphanalia-5 times the size of the two poms I was showingwhen up walked a brunette of Southern California pom country. She greeted me with, You must be new to poms. I answered very happily, Yes, I was. She braggingly proceeded that she knew all the pom people, OWNED THE LARGEST, MOST MODERN KENNEL IN ALL OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, and then ended her brief conversation with, YOU CERTAINLY HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT POMS. and off she went. I was showing a darling little cream pom who had already earned some points from the puppy class and a very nice orange. The tone of her voice, however, indicated that what I had entered that day at least in her opinion was only one step away from being a Heinz-57 Believe me I was so shocked that I would have gladly folded my tent, grooming table, exercise pen, and stolen away into the mid-day crowd. But fortunately my 15-year old son who possessed more stamina than I, reminded me that all people in the WORLD OF DOG SHOWS were not like that. A moment or so later as I was again briskly brushing my male pom to get him ready for the ring, Mrs. Pauline Hughes, President of the Cabrillo K. C. dropped by to welcome us and saw me frantically trying to touch up my pom, she immediately sat down and proceeded to help Let me have your shears, she said, Now your brush . . . When she had finished, she glanced over at the little cream bitch in the exercise pen and then back at the male she had just finished and said sincerely, You have two nice poms here, Good Luck, and have a pleasant dayWe were very fortunate the next day at the Del Sur show to meet Mrs. Hughes again, and she took more time to give us many, many helpful hints and some very good advice. I cannot thank her enough for restoring my faith in fellow pom breeders. I might add that I later found out our first unfortunate encounter, the brunette, may indeed have the largest kennel, but she had never bred any poms herself, only purchased them from other breeders, and in the last nine months of California Shows we have not seen any of her dogs entered since that fateful day.There is the other side of the coin, thank goodness We have met some very lovely pom competitorsto mention but a few, Mrs. Violet Goforth of San Luis Obispo, who has allowed me the pleasure of showing her little cream bitch this past year Mrs. Olga Baker by long-distance of Texas, who stopped long enough to chat and to take my phone number while trying to dash to Houston airport to deliver and pick up some poms. She in turn introduced me to Mrs. Merle Daniels of Spring, Texas, who has shared her Ch. Just Call me Ginger with us. I am proud as a peacock to walk her around a ring Also, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Tinkler and their lovely Ch. Tims- pepper Pal, whom we have competed with from San Francisco to San Diego this past yearthey are fun people. Last, but certainly not least, the late Mr. Van Powers and his lovely wife who graciously entertained us in their home and showed us their very nice kennel facility and breathtaking Ch. Duchess De Ora, 9th winning Pom for 1971. His enthusiasm and genuine love of poms certainly made up for the insincere attitude of the aforementioned exhibitor.I dont honestly know what the poor lady hoped to gain, but undoubtedly she will lose in the long run.Many thanks to all the beautiful pom people, ail their helpful hints and very good adice. It has made 1972 a year full of happy memories Win and lose, it has all been funFAULTY FRONTSSome of our columnists and. conscientious breeders are much concerned over poor rearsand rightly so. Cow hocks, slipping patellas and bowed legs have appeared all too frequently in the ring, sometimes apparently unnoticed by judges. To excuse this oversight on the grounds that the judges are all rounders and not breeders simply does not make sense. No judge should either ignore or overlook faults that contribute to the future unsoundness of a breed, no matter whether the breed is a Toy or Working breed.In the discussion of poor rear ends, it sometimes seems that the very people who condemn these faults are willing toPOMERANIAN REVIEW 73overlook faulty fronts. Our Standard calls for a shoulder well laid back, so the head can be carried proudly and high on the neck. It also says that the movement of our Poms is smooth and free but not loose.Too many winning Poms are being seen to-day with exceedingly straight shoulder and front. This causes a padding Goose-stepping action in front, which is just as incorrect for our breed as the eye-catching but jerky and exaggerated and also incorrect hackey gait.The diagram below illustrates the difference between correct, well laid back shoulder and incorrect straight front. The photograph of the late Ch. Great Elms Timstopper Again shows how the front assembly that is correct gives a chesty appearance, front legs well placed under the withers and head held proudly high. Unfortunately, available photographs in our files showing the incorrect straight front are all of recent, still living championswhich we obviously could not use We suggest that an exercise in personal observation might be carried out by studying the photographs of Poms in the issues of the past two years.sY YBI1A.zya ,L'tcf lokThe photograph of the white dog shows three other common faults of front assembly. The dog is too wide in front, he elbows outand his front legs are too short. Too short front legs usually means that the chest is hung too low down between the shoulder blades, causing the head to be carried forward, like a turtle. Often, the croup is slightly higher than the withers, as a result.NOTICE TO MEMBERSDont forget to send check or money order payable to the Club to Circulation Manager, before April 1, to cover either Third Class or First Class subscription.See Page 3074 POMERANIAN REVIEWGUESSING GAMEWe invite you to guess the identity of the lady and the three famous Poms pictured below.m 3V mt\\2nMATHESON Continuedabout location and requirement for the kennels. But now we have a new problem, the Pollution Control. They are concerened about dog waste and noise. To make a long story short, The Health Department informed me that I had to hook up to the sewer, and my runs had to be covered so the rain water could not drain into the sewer. The Pollution Control stepped in and said that I could not dump my waste into the sewer, but had to build a special tank to let the water drain off into the sewer. Finally after being passed from department to department, I finally contacted the head of the Health Department and asked for a feasible solution. My kennel is now hooked to my old septic tank and the septic tank to the sewer. The kennel is so nice now I think I will bring the dogs into the house and move out into the kennel With that I hope all of you have had a very good Christmas and a good start on the New Year.POMERANIAN REVIEW 75INDEX TO ADVERTISERSPageLOIS ABJORNSON ........................................................................................................... 35MRS.
