Brandywine, MD 20613 301 372-8782I had the good fortune of attending the APC Summer Specialty and the NCPC Specialty in June in San Francisco, California. The NCPC Club worked very hard getting it all together and it paid off as everything was superb. Congratulations to Julie Moreno and all her hard workers. The entries were very good and there were so many quality dogs there in competition. The banquet was especially nice and I'm sure no one walked away hungry. Mrs. Billings did a quality job judging as always, as did Mr. D. Jackson, the Sweep- stakes judge for the APC Specialty.I had been looking forward to this trip as having been out to the West Coast before,I was able to see and enjoy so many of you nice guys out there. I had my buddy, Edna, with me too. We did not expect to hit any cold weather but do express our thanks to the Roaches and Jean Schroll for the loan of their wintercoatsforourentirestay. Dave co u I d n't make this trip but keep everything intact back on the homefront. Thanks again Dolly, for my lovely President's banner which now hangs in my kennel.I had hoped to have a Board meeting while there, but unfortunately there were not enough Board members present for a quorum.The recent vote sent to all members pertaining to the Constitutional By-Law change was approved. Our next step is to obtain AKC approval as provided in our Constitution.Also, the 1991 slate of judges for the APC Specialty was voted on by the membership and Mr. Maynard Wood will be the Sweeps judge and Mrs. M. J. Ablett thejudge for the regular classes.The revision of the Summer Spe cialty Guidelines Booklet has been corr pleted and is extremely well done by Mar Vickers. It is being presented to the Boar for final consideration. When the bookie gets the Board's approval for printing, eac regional club will receive a copy for the records.Hope to be able to report some def nite information to you in the next issu regarding the Awards to be given at our ne National Specialty.AMERICAN POMERANIAN CLUB, INC.This club is devoted to encouraging th owning, breeding and exhibiting of thi Pomeranian dog and the protection am advancement of the breed.We are currently offering membership t all who are interested in these principles am aims.If you are interested in joining the club Please contact Mrs. Audrey Roberts, 1410 S 10th.

In an effort to save the Club a lot of money, I chose to include only one of the 36 pages of Dr. Carson's voluminous and very accurate Treasurer's Report. I perhaps chose the wrong page. This is however my fault and not Dr. Carson's. Included with this report is an update sent to me by Dr. Carson. This will perhaps more fully explain the state of the money affairs of APC.Your Board has been working very hard on updating several guidelines. The Summer Specialty Guidelines are currently being gone over for approval. Mary Vickers has headed this project and has come up with an excellent new guide. When approval is complete new copies will go out to all Specialty Clubs.The Board is also in the process of approving some new yearly awards. This effort is also headed up by Mary Vickers. Some awards being considered are Breeder of the Year, Exhibitor of the Year, Show Dog of the Year, Top Obedience Pom, Top Obedience Exhibitor, also an ROM and ROMX. This is a Register of Merit. T o receive this a dog must have produced a certain number of Champions ROMX beingfor a larger amount of Champions produced. Another consideration is fora Gold Club. Members in this group must qualify by winning back to back Group Firsts, or back to back Best in Shows, or qualifying in Obedience with a perfect 200, or getting 100 Best of Breeds, or for bitches, 50 Breeds, etc. There are all in the works. We will soon have the guidelines and requirements,andthe exact awa rdswhichwewillbe offering.I have a severe problem associated with my move back to Louisiana. The U.S.P.O. has failed to continue my forwarding as long as I had requested. I recently received a largebatch of mail from the folks who now occupy our home in California, some dated back to February. Hopefully they sent me all that came to them. But it is possible some mail was lost. If you have written or sent a member application and you have not received word from me, then please drop me a note. I apologize for this inconvenience.I wish to congratulate Lorinda Vasuta and Darren Lane on their Kennel Visit. We are trying to continue this tradition on a regular basis. Nominations are welcome from all members foranyone who you think would enjoy a Kennel Visit. The requirements are that they must have been a member of APC for at least 5 years. Once they have received a Kennel Visit they are not permitted another. This is so more members will be permitted this privilege.Respectfully Submitted,Audrey RobertsMEMBER CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONSFrances Casey 60 Wilbur St.Raynham, MA 02767Diana M Downey 20435 Ambassador Terrace Germantown, MD 20874 Br, ExCurtis Mack 248 Main St.Leesville SC 29070 803 532-2909 Br, ExNEW MEMBERSGary Allen Ward 14673 Cloverdale Rd.Dale City, VA 22193 703 670-DOGS Excontinued on p. 82.8Feisty's Pomeranianspresents two new champions for their young sire, Ch.

Exhibitors from warmer climates repeated every bad word ver said about San Francisco's unique sum- lerweather, while natives glumly hoped the ext day would be better.Venue for the 1989 APC Summer Spe- ialty summer was the rear of the San rancisco Airport Holiday Inn. Rooms on hree sides of the asphalt parking area con- aining the ring provided ringside viewing hrough picture windows in comparative omfort for spectators and those exhibitors lot needed in the ring at the moment. Every- ne wore except while in the ring a name tag ittached to a souvenir badge - blue, with the an Francisco emblem of the Golden Cate Sridge and the APC Pom in white these dentified our group from other hotel guests, md helped put names to unfamiliar faces vithin the group.The dogs seems to love it The ancient ilood of their northern ancestors responded nappily to the chill, and we envied their fur oats.Even the dullness of the sky failed to dim he brightness of the masses of silver trophies ill winners down through 4th place took at east one shining memento home with them. Diane Stevenson, Trophy Chairman had mounted a beautiful display. The Trophy able and ring stanchions were further decorated with blue and gold floral arrangements and pom-poms created by Decorations Chairman, Marge Kranzfelder. Marge also created the souvenir Pom plant-sticks, the Pom mobiles, and the floral arrangements in baskets thatappeared atdinner. Dog biscuits shaped as bones and fire hydrants, and "people" biscuits shaped like Poms,were also distributed at dinner - both homemade by DollyTrauner and her assistant. Marge had fashioned the Pom cookie-cutter from one that started life as a chowChief Ring Steward, Al Craber, himself a multi-breed judge, assisted by Lucy Buttz, expertly handled their jobs with ease and grace, finding the right trophies for the classes from among those loading the table even when Diane was exhibiting in the ring and unable to point them out. Rita Perko, also a multi-breed judge and long experienced as a Show Secretary, answered questions and supervised the event "by the book." Rita and Lucy had been borrowed from their Poodle interests. Both are long-time friends of the Show Chairman, Julie Moreno, whose long involvement with Toy Poodles preceded her entry into Poms. Al Craber is loyal to his Shih Tzus but willing to help out his friends for this important occasion.NCPC President, Wanda Roach, and husband Dudley, their work on the Specialties completed beforehand, could relax a bit and concentrate on showing some of their Queenaire Poms. Dudley's computer had run red-hot for weeks, composing the Premium Lists, the insertin the April issue of Pom Review, the ads the other "non-guts" portions of the catalogs, and the Dinner Programs. He said, "Never again" but is already planning to do the same job for the November NCPC Specialty Desktop publishing has taken him by storm.From So. Carolina, the Sweepstakes judge, Derial Jackson, shrugged off the cold and conducted his assignment with smooth calm, starting at 1000 a.m. A gentleman of true southern charm and manner. It was unfortunate that time did not allow us to sit at his feet to hear him tell of the famous dogs and breeders of the past Little Emir, Little Rajah, Blue Boy, Mrs. Matta, and the manyolhati ^amtvnnmmannounces a new champion \Ch.

The Regular Classes started at 100, fter a deli lunch in the Hospitality Suite for ast and crew. The Judge, Mrs. Michelle Sillings, demonstrated once again the exper- ise and professionalism we had glimpsed iriefly on TV when she found The Prince for iest in Show at Westminster in 1988. She is is warm and kind as she is lovely to look at. Ven the losers - and there had to be many in he larger classes - appreciated the thorough- less of her judging, and the knowledgeable nanner in which each dog was examined, ihe was overheard later to say that she had lever seen an entry of overall excellent qual- ty ever - and that any one of the 13 Poms she iad moved into the first 7 places int he Specials class could have been Best of Breed.On both day, NCPC took the option low allowed byAKC the non-regular, multi- mtry classes were scheduled before judging Jest of Breed. The Stud Dog class of 3 entries vas of outstanding quality and beauty and ncluded champions among the get. This cheduling insures that such classes, so important to the breed, receive the ringside ittention they merit. The final class for Best of Jreed then becomes the Grand Finale it hould be.A bit later, butterflies from caterpillars ouldn't compare with the transformation to he silks and satins of the ladies, or the jackets ind ties of the men attending the cocktail party and banquet. Dinner was an all-you- an-eat buffet that received high praise from 5ven the most experienced and exacting ipecialty-goer, accustomed to the usual rub- per chicken and withered peas of most hotel panquets.We were especially honored with the presence of the grande-dame of Poms, Edna 3irardot Scotia Kennels, and another APC jfe Member, Pauline Hughes Point Loma Poms. Edna had come out from Maryland Mth APC's new president, Dolores Watts. Darrell Baker, his broken leg mended, was looking svelte wife Olga was divine in a white version of a gay 90's gown.

Shirley is staying on for the wedding of the Moreno's younger daughter later this month a wedding on top of chairing two specialties Julie will have earned her 6-week vacation visiting Shirley in Hawaii later this fallFrom Wisconsin came APC's 2nd Vice President Nadine Hersil, accompanied by APC's Education Chairman, Sally Baugniet. Randy Blackburn from Utah had donated one of his oil originals of a Pom head for Best of Breed. Her stunning white hair and youthful face identified Norma Creider in the crowd. Sue and Tim Goddard had their table in stitches with their wit and good humor. Victoria Lovely and friend Blake Jones from Puyallup, WA, looking so young, but wise and knowledgeable beyond appearances. Estelle McDonald - but, more of her later The Ontiveros made off with the top prize. It's not enough that he's the President of the San Diego Pom Club, the tiny TV-Clock-Radio from the raffle was on his winning ticket. Darn I had my eye on it Jean Schroll from Columbia Pom Club Connie and Tony Tellez, a handsome couple Janice Luginsland, from Kansas who had judged the Winter Specialty in NewYork earlier this year all graced us with their presence. The guest who came the farthest was George Walther from West GermanyAn early ending of the day for most to rest up and get ready for the next day's events.Next day, Friday, the NCPC Specialty - another day of wind and gloom, broken only briefly on occasion by a wan sun offering weakwarmth. Everythingfrom the day before had to be cleared away tables chairs, ropes and stanchions. Now, it all had to be set up again hotel rules. We owed much to Grounds Chairman, Brad Bradbury, and his assistant Mac McConnel, for muscling those weighty items back and forth.

This made it especially convenient for the exhibitors and judges alike. The host club, the Northern California Pomeranian Club, headed by Julie Moreno and her committees, left no stone unturned in tending to everyone's needs. All that was lacking was the weather as it was unseasonably cold, even for San Francisco. Much of the ringside was huddled under blankets to watch the judging.Winners Dog went to Doctor's Pepper CF, a gorgeous 5 year old black dog. In my opinion he is the best black that I have seen in years with a good head, superb coat texture and outline. He is an exceptionally good mover and showed very well.Winners Bitch was awarded to Mac's Autumn Fantasy, shown in full bloom. I understand this win finished her championship and that she was 4 weeks or so in whelp. With few noted exceptions, I did notfeel that the quality in the classes was that strong.The Specials class however, was a different story as there were about five or six dogs and a bitch that one would be happy to have almost anywhere for a Croup 1 st at the very least.

Cuyahoga Falls Ave. Akron, OH 44310 216 762-7567ySt r'lThank you, Pom Review from the whole clan, for paying us a visit.Cennel Visit he Animation Kennelorinda Vasuta and Darren LaneLocated in the center of busy and busing Akron, one of Ohio's largest cities, is a nail piece of Pom Paradise that you just ouldn't believe unless you saw it. The set- ng is almost like a Fantasyland. Once you nter the gates at Animation, you leave the sphalt and concrete world behind. More nan half an acre of green grass, trees, flowers nd shrubbery are landscaped in such a way lat you have the feeling you've entered a tory-book forest, secure from the rest of the ^orld by what seems like miles of 6 foot tockade fencing.Six years ago when Lori nda first saw this mall parcel of land with its rustic house a ind way of saying it was a little tumble-down nd overgrown, she had a special feeling bout it that it could be one of dreams come rue. It did take a lot of hard workand time but was tru ly worth it. As a matter of fact the city hought so too, for the North Akron Board of 'rade awarded Lorinda their beautification ward for property improvement. Now be- lind the attractive wood fence thatsurrounds he yard and hides this beautiful fairy tale cene lives the amazing and somewhat magi_ApproachingAnimation Kennel from the street, you irst see the grooming shop.Lorinda and Darren were married this past summer in their lovely garden.cal family of Animation. At the present time this family consists of Lorinda Vasuta, Darren Lane and fourteen Pomeranians. Lorinda and Darren were married in a lovely garden ceremony in their back yard this past July 8, but wait, I'm getting a bit ahead of the story hereBack at the beginning, once upon atime a very young and somewhat naive little lady started on her journey down "the yellow brick road. As in the original story, a faithful pet was always with her. In Lorinda's case her companion at first was not a Pom but in fact a lovely American Eskimo which became her first show dog in obedience. After attending her first AKCall breed show, Lorinda become hooked and in order to continue on her journey to the land of Oz" and her objective, she needed an AKC registered dog to accompany her. Influenced mainly by a childhood admiration of Rin Tin Tin and not really knowing which breed to try, Lorinda chose a German Shepherd. During the next two years of showing in this highly competitive breed, she quickly learned the hard way most of the tricks that an expert handler needs to know - and also that there really are witches, scarecrows and a few tin men out there. Although the German Shepherd breed did not turn out to be exactly what she wanted, Lorinda did want to continue showing. Thinking back to her American Eskimo, she tried to pictureJOsomething as close to that breed as possible. At that time Lorinda had limited living space, so after coping with the big Shepherd for two years, she was ready for a small dog. It was then that she decided on Poms. Immediately she was as addicted to this endearing breed as she had been to the whole idea of showing in the first place.In November of 1977 Lorinda purchased her first Pom from an area breeder with the intention of showing it. Unfortunately with this Pom she did not realize her dream. Two other Poms in the two years that followed were shown but did not finish.At this time, Lorinda was fortunate enough to acquire Dandy. He was the ideal type that she was looking for. They really took to each other right away and so the first mystical faint dream of Animation Poms was born. Champion Cinquay's Yankee Doodle Dandy was outstanding in many ways, both in the show ring and at home. Together, he and his determined owner started a small dynasty of consistently sound and typey Poms that have earned a place in the breeding and exhibiting arenas of the Pom world. Dandy himself has made his mark on Pom history, particularly on the Ohio Poms being shown today.After studying different lines, searching for a mate for Dandy, Lorinda finally chose the Emcee line. Because of its special look, it struck her as being exactly what she was seeking. She contacted Morris Carson and-7 lVr- .sssn5-after some deliberation, he was finally co vinced that she was a suitable buyer. K Carson is as discriminating and cautious abc placing his Poms as Lorinda is about placi hers.When Lorinda went to visit Emcee she got her first look at Anna-Banana. At months of age, Anna was a bit of an uj duckling, but Lorinda knewthatthis little la was exactly what she wanted to take home Dandy. Morris made her promise that s would not show Anna unless she turned c to be good enough. He felt that otherwise might reflect on the high standards he expe of the Emcee Poms. To make a long stc short, Anna is now Ch. Emcee's Suss'Am and she was Top Producer in the Unto States for 1987 She is 4 12 pounds and h free-whelped 4 puppies in 3 of her litte Between Anna and Dandy, Animation Ke nel had its beginning.The name Animation wasfirstsuggestt to Lorinda by a friend who had observt Dandy in the ring and commented on f exceptional animation, expression and b havior. To this day that particular comme has followed the Animation Poms wherev they go. Continuing with that suggestion,. of the Animation Poms are named after ar mated cartoon characters.In 1986 Darren Lane became an ir portant part of Animation. He loved tl Poms and started right in helping Lorinc and he learned well. During his first yeJ 1m sle Poms'sleeping quarters. Notice the lovely quilt m the 1988 APC Specialty.arren showed several Poms and finished to of them. He was awarded Newcomer the Year by the Ohio Valley Pomeranian ub, of which Lorinda and Darren are two the founding members. It seems that arren had taken to Poms like a duck to ater. He developed a very special way of s own with them and they really respond him with interest and affection. Darren also a very loving part of Lorinda's life, igether they have even higher dreams for limation.Some of their dreams are already coming a reality as there are now nine lampions living at Animation - Ch. Emcee's jss'Anna, Ch. Animations'Tweety Bird, Ch. nimation's Raggedy Ann, Ch. Animation's veet Pea, Ch. Animation's Lucy Little, Ch. nimation's Atom Ant, Ch. Animation's Ela- o, Ch. Animation's Wiley B. Cyote and Ch. ilanes Frick. Ch. Cinquay's Yankee Doodle andy died in 1987. There are several other Dms carrying the direct Animation bloodies that live with loving owners elsewhere - h. Animations' Mr. Magoo a Croup win- r, Ch. Animation's Sylvester The Cat, and h. Animation's Babe from Toyland. Many her Poms in Ohio carry the Animation oodlinesand have excelled in the show ring id breeding programs.Ch. Animation's Atom Ant is probably ie most noted of the winning AnimationPoms. He is their first Croup winner and in his career as a special, many of his Best of Breed wins were over Best in Show specials. Atom has several champion and Group placing get.The first thing you see when arriving at Animation is the grooming shop at the front of the house. Lorinda has had her own grooming business for 11 years now and is considered one of the best. Lorinda's Dogs of Distinction has earned much regard and comes very highly recommended in the Akron area. Animation Poms is a small kennel, producing two litters per year. The majority of their Poms have completed their championships. They do not breed for the purpose of selling their Poms, rather for the betterment of the breed and competition in the show ring. Although many of Lorinda's dreams have already begun to be realized, she hopes to consistently produce Poms with that special look thatwill identify them as Animation Poms. And perhaps to someday produce a Best in Show Pom that comes up to Lorinda's standards.The Poms at Animation do not live in a separate kennel building. Each one is a treasured family member and lives with Lorinda and Darren in the house. They do havesep- arate sleeping quarters at night or for special occasions, butthey mostly have the run ofthe house. I have been there many times and it is always clean and neat. There is no hint of doggy smells and is a most unique operation. All living accommodations are upLorindarelaxing with a special friend. JUk ^ I xi10..vw. -. Inthe lovely garden area of Animation Kennel with "the gang."stairs for both Poms and people. The grooming shop occupies the downstairs rooms. I might also add that not every Pom at Animation is a show dog. There are a couple of pets too. All are loved and cared for with equal TLC. The Pom friends that have passed away rest in a peaceful shaded glen in the woods behind the gazebo that Darren built.Upstairs, the room that contains the sleeping quarters for the Poms is adorned with the beautiful Anniversary quilt that Lorinda and Darren won in the raffle at the 1988 Specialty in New York. The walls of the living room are home to a beautiful collection of individual paintings of several of the Animation Champion Poms. The portraits are unique and bring out the special character of each Pom they portray. Lorinda was awarded Breeder of the Year for 1988 by the Ohio Valley Pom Club and her trophy, along with Darren's, is proudly displayed in the living room. Many trophies and awards adorn the walls of the grooming shop reception room downstairs. A beautiful showcase contains a special prized collection of dogs of different breeds. Animation also treasures one of the most complete and beautiful collections of Pom figurines and artifacts that I have ever seen.The atmosphere is always warm and friendly at Animation, although it retains one of the busiest and most hectic schedulesyou can imagine. But there always seems be time for a friend, time for a chat and til for a loving pat to a cherished Pom frierSince Darren joined Lorinda at Anin tion they have built together a solid fount tion for their future, retaining a firm footht in the past by continuing to breed and exhi top quality Poms. For those of us who ha been seeking the elusive dream, Animati Kennel is a shining example of what ha work, dedication and lots of love can do.As I close the gate and walk away frc Animation, my thoughts and part of my he still remain. The impression of tiny Pom prii scamper across my mind, and faint Pc voices ring in my ears. It is definitely a spec wonderland to visit. Just ask Mickey Mou Elaroo, Wiley B.

Now we are planning our second A-OA match for the end of October and hopefully that one will also be approved. What a lot of work this planning and fun isIroquois Pomeranian Club by David R. EdwardsOur club recently held its Specialty Fun Match with the help of the Wyoming Valley Kennel Club and Eileen McNaulty, who permitted us to use a space on the grounds the same day they held their match, saving the club an added expense. We had a real nice entry of 20 Pomeranians. Our judge for the event was Pat Mucher of Perry, New York, who did an excellent job and was more than patient with the puppies, who much preferred bunny hopping through the mud to gaiting. Sharon Cirven our Chairman, spent most the day labeling trophies, acting as steward and playing photographer. I have no idea where she found the energy.

The rain is good for the lawns but doesn't do much for the gardens. There are many things going on in our Pacific Northwest. There are some really nice dogs being shown.The Eastern Washington Circuit brought out several new dogs. Wendy Feist has a new little male and we won one of the shows. This dog also picked up two majors at Rogue Valley and Eugene. Dennis Larson has a new male from Daryls Flaata and he won two majors and a best of breed. Ed and Nancy Wharton's special won several breeds and a Croup 2. Tom and Jessie Stephens finished their bitch. Dana Plonkey and Randy Gem- mill finished a bitch that they co-own. Emily Untalan and Gail Jeubgota second major on a bitch.Wendy Feist has a new little girl that has two 5 point majors. She is just eight months old and finished on the Idaho circuit.I have just returned from the APC National and I'm sorry to say it was a huge disappointment. First of all, San Francisco's weather did not cooperate. It was extremely cold and these shows were held out doors inthe parking lot of the Holiday Inn. There vs no decent places to park, in spite of it bt in a parking lot Two favored persons vs allowed to park adjacent to the show rii The rest of us had to park at least a half r away from the rings and carry our dogs to to the rings. I had four dogs entered and a member of the APC. One of the favc ones had only one dog entered. I had par next to the rings and was told to move then someone else was given the spot I in. I felt unwanted.I cannot believe there was not an inc place to have these specialties. All Holi Inns I've been in have ballrooms and t rent them to clubs and other groups.In spite of the hardships, my dogs very well. Wendy and Victor Feist's male \ his class at the Sweepstakes, their 6-9 me puppy bitch was 2nd in her class,and my male was 4th in his class.

I .nted a male puppy abouttwo months old, ferably a Chihuahua. Instead I ended up di an eight month old female Pomeranian, e seller advised me to bring her back to be 2d to one of her males. Shadow became my st beloved pet and is probably the most elligent dog I have ever owned. She is the ison my husband and I became hooked on s marvelous breed. So naturally we felt we inted more like her and at eighteen months age we had her bred.Up to four weeks post breeding there is no sign of pregnancy but by five weeks e started to bulge. At seven weeks she was nostas round as a watermelon. She waddled ittle but was active and appeared to be very althy. Therefore, I was surprised to learn at Shadow's litter sister, Tina had almost 2d when she was due to have her puppies.Tina had been bred and became ill a 2ek before she was due to whelp. The terinarian did an emergency c-section and o spayed her. It seems Tina had a strange ad of blood disease and had become se- rely anemic and almost died on the oper- ng table. To insure that Shadow did not ive the same problem I asked for the name the vet who had treated Tina and made an ipointment. On the day of the appointment ladow appeared as healthy as usual. I ex- ained to the vet that Shadow was a litter ter of Tina's. She told me that she didn't iow what had been wrong with Tina. It was e strangest thing she had ever seen. Some- ing had made Tina so anemic that she had illapsed and when the vet did the c-section na almost died during surgery .The vet took a blood sample from ladowand the results showed that Shadow as anemic. I was given a tonic with iron in it id told to bring Shadow back in two days. At e second appointment another blood testwas done and Shadow's anemia had not gotten better. The vet told me if I allowed the pregnancy to continue, Shadow could possible die. When I expressed confusion that a dog that look so healthy could be that ill I was told that should could collapse at any time.There were several things that concerned me. First the vet kept stressing the need to spay Shadow. I felt she should be more concerned with preventing this collapse that Shadow could have. Second she keptsayingthatShadowcouldcollapseatany time but she wouldn't do a c-section until after Shadow was in labor. This bothered me as I felt that if the Vet was correct in her diagnosis the sooner the puppies were removed the sooner their drain on Shadow would be stopped.Also, Shadow was acting very unlike her normally friendly self in that she showed an extreme dislike of the vet I told you she was intelligent. After I left the vet's office I decided that I did not like this woman and 1 did not want her to do the surgery.,The next day I wentto another vet and he did a blood test and told me that Shadow was slightly anemic but that she was handling it. He said that Shadow wasn't sick at all and that a c-section was probably more dangerous for her than being slightly anemic. I went home and started feedingShadow liver. I had read that anemia could be caused in a pregnant bitch as a result of insufficient amounts of vitamin C to handle the added demands of pregnancy. So I added Vitamin C to the liver. Shadows next blood test was normal and a few days later she free whelped four lovely puppies. She subsequently whelped a second litter of three with no trouble at all and she is still a healthy, active Pom.I eventually became interested in breedingand exhibiting Poms and purchased a show quality bitch which I subsequently bred.

Thinking that was a sign of pregnancy I didn't worry ut her behavior. She never did gain weight1 by the sixth week I began to suspect that was not pregnant. One night in the sev- h week post breeding she suddenly had a avy, odorless cream-colored discharge.She was not acting very ill but I knew s discharge was not normal and immedi- ily took her to a 24 hour emergency vet. e emergency vet diagnosed pyometra and vised that the only way to save her was to ay her as soon as possible, preferably mediately. He also told me that there was treatment with prostaglandin but in his perience is was not successful. I told him2 was a valuable breeding bitch and asked here was any possibility thatsomething else uld be wrong with her. He said no but cided to x-ray her.When he showed me the developed ays he said that one did not show an larged uterus but that on the second x-ray felt that was some enlargement. He sold 2 she must be drinking excessive amounts water and when I told him that she was inking normally he very emphatically said e was d ri nki ng lots of water and I just had n't iticed it. Meanwhile my Pom had perked i at being out and was barking whenever e heard another dog and generally was not ting very ill. When I pointed this out to the the admitted that she was in no immediate inger and that she probably could go 24 urs before she had the surgery done. My isband took me aside and reminded me of e incident with Shadow. So I decided to get second opinion.When we returned home I read the rm I had received from the emergency vet id noticed that the vet had written that diographically there was no noticeable ilargementof the uterus. This was in direct intradiction to what he had told my hus- md and myself. The contradiction bothered eand I began to doubt him. I got out all my\books on dog health and I read as much as I could on pyometra and I came across a paragraph on endo metritis.This paragraph stated that the symptoms for endometritis were similar to pyometra except that radiographically the uterus is not greatly enlarged.The next morning, armed with this book and the x-rays from the night before, I went for a second opinion. I asked this vet whom I shall call Dr. F. about the possibility of endometritis. He neither answered me nor gave me an opinion, nor did he examine my dog, but instead called the emergency vet. After he spoke to him, he then diagnosed pyometra and wanted to do the surgery that day. When I asked about treatment with prostaglandin he said I was grasping atstraws and he didn't even know if he could locate a supply of there hormones.I didn't feel that Dr. F had given me a true second opinion but had only repeated what the emergency vet had told him, so I left without making arrangements for the surgery . I then called a Pom breeder who lives a considerable distance from me but whom I knew had a vet who was very experienced with reproduction problems in small dogs. This vet agreed to see me that day.Dr. K, as I will call him, said my pom bitch was too young and was simply not sick enough to have pyometra. He suspected endometritis. However, if she did turn out to have pyometra he recommended treatment with prostaglandin. He had successfully treated several dogs with these hormones. Dr. K did a blood test and found that my bitch's white blood count was considerably elevated. My Pom was put on antibiotics for ten days and she responded immediately. After treatment, another test was done and it showed her white blood count had returned to normal. Dr. K said that if she had pyometra the elevated blood count would not have responded to the antibiotics. A vaginal culture was also taken and showed no infection. Dr. K feels she can be bred successfully at her next season.continued on p. 94EvilElegant...Exciting...and just a little bitimCh.

Westerville, OH 43081Learn to help yourselfby Wendy FeistWhen you call a vet because your dog ick or injured there are a few basic ques- is you need to be able to answer immedi- ly to help your vet andor the receptionist p you the best and fastest way. However ny of us are simply unaware of the type of jrmation that is most helpful. Further, by ring good information at your fingertips j may be able to save money in the long i by avoiding a misdiagnosis.Even with all his training, a vet can't gnose a dog properly without good an- ers to some basic questions and these estions can vary from office to office. Your I will usually be screened bythereception- before you speak to the vet. If you don't sent your problem giving all the facts, a ious problem that should be seen as an urgency may not be treated as such or nething that could have waited until day'll might end up costing you many times re than necessary because you panicked d went to an emergency vet service at 1 n.Of course the most important thing is t to panic This is sometimes easier said m done but taking several deep breaths d forcing yourself to take one step at a time absolutely necessary. My husband is a ramedicand he taught me to do the follow- things before calling the vet. These sug- stions are in reference to an ill dog, not a matose or badly injured dog in which case u call the vet first to notify them of your linent arrival so they can be ready.First, do a head to toe evaluation. The iad is first. Are the eyes bright or dull or udy Is there a discharge or excessive aring Is there any discharge from the nose e the ears clean or is there a dark or light lild-up present Open the mouth and check color. Is it nice and pink or is it sort of gray there any tenderness or swelling in the headareaNext check all the limbs for soreness or swelling or anything that doesn't look to be normal. Check the chest area for labored or rapid breathing, or again anything that doesn't look or sound quite right. Is the abdomen distended or bloated Is it hot to the touch or bright redCheck for dehydration. You should be able to gently pinch the skin and see it bounce back immediately. Urine output gives you an indication of dehydration also, but be sure you know how much and how frequently the dog is urinating. In a severe case you'd see it in the mouth. How does the coat look - healthy, or dry and flakyCheck the anus. Is it swollen, irritated. How do the anal glands look I'm surprised how many people don't know that the anal glands need to be emptied Have you noticed any scooting How do the stools look Are they normal or is there diarrhea present. Is there blood, a foul odor, or strange color in the stool When was the last fecal check done Has there been a normal amount of urine output What does it look like - clear, or extremely dark in color any sign of bloodHow is he eating What is he eatingTake your dog's temperature.Now it's time to call your vet. Don't let office staff intimidate you. If you feel you aren't getting the kind of response you need and you can't talk to the vet at the moment, ask to speak to a tech. Before leaving for the vet's office, get a stool sample. Even if it looks normal it could contain parasites that can cause intestinal irritation. If the urine looks abnormal bring a sample. An easy way to do it is to use a syringe. All samples should be fresh, but if you can't get to the vet's right away, refrigerate the sample and be sure to tell the person reading it what time it was collected. Be sure you know what kind ofcontinued.Chuckie sends...TOMSP5 GSMmiPomsprings Flaming StarAnother Chase son, pictured at 9 12 weeks.Congratulations to his half sister, Can. Ch.

If you have been breeding dogs for a while and have had quite a bit of experience with veterinary treatments, you may have some good insights into treatments yourself. If something seems different or unusual, ask questions. Questions can always be posed in a non-threatening, polite manner so that the vet won't take offense. A good vet will answer any questions without a problem, especially when he believes that you are truly interested in your dog's well-being.After a treatment, be sure to ask when you are to call back with the results. Before leaving the office be sure you know what to expect. How soon should your dog start acting better If the symptoms don't change, how are you going to reach the vet What exactly should you look for If this vet won't be available, will his partner be advised so that you can turn with confidence to a new person If you are concerned aboutyour dog and have to call at night let your vet decide if your dog needs to be seen. If he isn't helpful or worse, is rude, it's time to find a new vet.This may seem like a time consuming procedure and it is if you wait until your dog is really sick to start using it. Practice these techniques every time you groom your dog. You will be able to evaluate your dogs in minutes and probably be able to have a better idea of each dogs' general health. Furthermore, it will help your puppies when they do go to the vet because they will be used to this kind of examination.Remember, your dogs can't speak for themselves. They need you to use all your powers of observation to maintain their care. Your vet can be much more helpful to you if you can help him. He can't read your mind so knowing what kinds of information will help him treat your dog will make you a very powerful team and get the fastest, best care possible. \POM TOTE BAGSLovely nylon tote bags in navy blue with above logo in white.

Box 717 - 77574 League City, TX 77574The events that I am going to discuss are k'eral months old. I purposefully did not ite about them for several months because lid not want anyone to try to discern the rticipants. Of course the events described olved specific individuals, but the prob- m is a general one that needs to be ad- essed.National breed clubs work continually develop and maintain a breed standard at properly depicts their breed. Judges who e licensed by AKC to judge these breeds are pected - nay required - to judge to the best their ability by these AKC approved stan- irds. A judge does not have the latitude to dge by his own preferences, nor does he ivetherighttosetasidesectionsofabreed's indard. However, this is being done by me judges.My example of this took place at a large ow which had a five point major in Poms, y bitch was reserve. While I would have ed to have had the major, I was not shocked ifferent people see dogs differently until e judge explained his placing. He said, ou r bitch has too much coat. Cut about half it off." I did not respond to this and he oceeded to tell me howto sculpture a coat i the whole Pomeranian. Then I was shocked, lis man is a well know, and, I had thought itil this discourse, an ethical judge. Stunned this flagitious disregard of the standard I sponded, You knowthe national club does at approve of that."I know it," he quipped, and his attitude lid I do not care.Of course my fellow exhibitors had to low what the long in-ring discussion was. I a sooner had explained, than another shocked hibitor arrived. To him this judge had said lat since the points were higher in one sex lan the other he would award BOW to the newith the lower points. Exhibitors all knowjudges often do this, and most do not object it the quality is relatively equal, but AKC has specific rules concerning the awarding of BOW. This particular exhibitor was shocked because he too was an AKC licensed judge and was acutely aware of how often AKC cautions judges not to do this. By announcing what he was doing, this judge once again was saying, "I am above the rules."The exhibition of purebred dogs under the auspices of AKC is a huge machine. Its millions of parts can function smoothly only when each functions according to its rules. In this case the judge ignored the written standard and AKC directions to judges and placed dogs according to his whim. This is unfair to all of the exhibitors, not because the dogs placed were not decent dogs - in this case they were - but because all of the exhibitors did not have a guideline by which to work. The guideline of the standard tells breeders and exhibitors which dogs to select for exhibition and breeding. Without the security of this guideline, exhibition and breeding plans are senseless chaos.Please, do notshout"Kill the judge." This is not a head hunting column. The judge was wrong, but who allowed him to be wrong I did, and you did - or at least our counterparts in the club for which he was judging did. We know that there is a certain percentage of the human race that either through ignorance, egoism or dishonesty will not follow the established rules. These people we cannot change, but we do not have to hire them to judge. It is the responsibility of each active exhibitor to learn which judges adhere to the rules of AKC and which judges do not. This is a large order the requires team work within a club. It also requires that exhibitors of long standing remain active in the selection of judges. When a judge, such as the one above, it hired the judge selection process of this club has failed. Such a man could be hired through ignorance - he had a "name" or through dishonesty - he will put me up. Neither reason is acceptable and an active membership can circumvent such choices.Announcing a new championIs"----m w.'w- "Bl\- TZ01Cfi.Finchs Wee Heart Arufy GibbAndy is a very animated 4 red.

Everyjudge's lowledge varies from breed to breed, but honesty does not. It he disregards one eed's standard, it may be assumed that he ill have no respect for the standard of lother breed. An honest judge will gain lowledge throughout his career. He can be lucated by a breed that he does not judge all. A dishonest judge cannot be educated, a rejects rules.A show's value rests not on its space, or parking lot, or even its number of restrooms, show's value rests on the decision of its dges. If they do not do a good job, all of the her aspects of the show are valueless. The jrsons whose placements can be respected ter the emotions of winning or losing cool, ake showing meaningful. They place dogs r reasons according to the written stan- irds.These honest judges may have a difficult ne. They do not have the staunch and vocal ipport of those they "always put up." Since eyjudge dogs, they may put up a dog that es not belong to one of the "in crowd.11 ccasionally such a judge will not place a ell known dogs because on that day he was Dtasgood as a lesser known one. All of these ings the persons selecting judges hear in idition to the standard loser's complaints id winners joy. The selectors then add all at they see. Slowly judges who respect the b they are asked to do emerge. These dges make the show - and the sport of pure- red dogs.

After putting 5 titles on 4 CSDs she got out of showing dogs for a number of years and returned to the sport after her husband passed away three years ago. She is retired, has Jackie's sister Lori, another Pom Loni, two non-Pom dogs and Jackie, purchased in Dec. 87. Jackie has not only earned his CD, but has a certificate from Therapy Dogs International for his work at nursing homes giving obedience demos and lots of love to the elderly. Trudy says, "I have determined that the Poms are every bit as smart as the Shepherds and a bit more attentive." Thank you, Trudy, for sharing your story with us.And on to the scores and titles.UTILITYBig, big news in Utility. Linda Gallacher reports that Sunswept Hot Fudge Sundae CDX finished his Utility Dog title. It seems they started training in March of 1988, stopped for the summer, then started again in the fall.

Yes, everyone is fine. Itturned outafterthree weeks of misery to be Ciardia. Ciardia is a protozoan and very difficult to find. We found one Ciardia protozoan in a normal firm stool sample from Sabrina my newest who was notill, but none in the dogs who were ill. It seems that in a dog with diarrhea you will only find it in a very fresh stool, less than one hour old. After messing around all that time, we treated with Flagyl for five days and it was totally cleared up. Itdidn't turn out badly but sure was a pain while we had it.Looking back over these records it seems we have three High in Trial dogs here. I don't know if that's a record, but it sure strikes me as interesting. There are still few of us out there, but the quality of the work our Poms are doing is very nice and very competitive. Someone must be doing something right.As always, the answering machine is always on and I love to talk Poms. Call me anytime at 517 485-5183 with your results, brags, questions unfortunately I answer the phone much faster than I do letters or whatever. Until then, may your dog always be a happy heeler and a terrific tracker.82New Members, continued from p. 8Yolanda Webster 5126 Sumac Cr.Fayetteville, NC 28304 919 425-6968 Br, ExJennifer Carlton 3200 Bruceville Rd.

Gladys explained that e Pom inside had just been returned from e airport, a daughter of Pepper Pod sold for ecurrentshow price of 75.00 and unliked the purchaser. As making up her mind to II was always a major decision with Gladys id she was unhappy about the circum- mces, I decided without examination being daughter of Pepper Pod was recommenda- n enough for me to buy Mona on the spot, egistered her as Aristic Wee Peppersweet. le was appreciated and loved and bred ice to her sire resulting in a son, Bonner's ppersweet Red Pod. He was fantastic from e beginning and collected points at an early e. When almost finished he went Best of reed in Houston over a well-known han- er's entry and the aging judge volunteered at this was the best Pom he had ever seen, le handler repeated his remark to her nployer, a successful breeder-exhibitor, who mtacted me with an offer of 1,000 with pportunities that were beyond my personal oility at that time. There was a promise that ed Pod would be finished and specialed as mg as he was able to win. As the sale was icomplete, the nextweek I showed Red Pod Corpus Christi under the same old judge 'ho had liked him so much at Houston, anfident of picking up the few points lacking finnish. Feeling badly, the judge sat in a hair while we moved the dogs back and rth in front of him. With absolutely no icognition, the handler was placed first and ed Pod fourth. Later, the purchaser called lat she still wanted to buy him but was mbarrassed to tell anybody that she had aid 1,000 for a fourth place winner. That as a lot of money in those days. The handlerfinished Red Pod at the next show and in a short time the little fellow won a number of Groups and Best in Shows. But when the first brood appeared he tragically refused to become a stud. Abruptly taken out of the show ring, he was sent back to me, hopefully to train. Having no girls in season at the moment, he was taken out to the Aristic Kennels where a proper mate was found. Using all of my skills developed for his often reluctant sire, the mating was finally completed, resulting in a lovely puppy. Red Pod was also bred to one of my retired broods just for the practice. She did not conceive as was expected, but no others came in at that time. The Aristic puppy looked to be a reproduction of Red Pod and I visualized what he mightdo for the breed, even with the difficulties of breeding. I wanted to own him again, however his purchaser was cheered by his action and insisted that he be shipped back to her immediately. This was done with the offer to tell her some of my Pepper Pod breeding methods with the refusal, "Not necessary. If you can breed him, I can." I never really knew what happened in that category, but heard that the purchaser said that she had too many studs who were anxious to breed to fool around with one who wasn't. So Red Pod was retired for awhile, then shown again to win a Best in Florida. The purchaser than advertised thatshe had given him away as a pet and the Schoenbergs received a Christmas card from some Irish Wolfhound breeders with Red Pod sitting in an upholstered chair. I never heard from him again and never tried as the situation looked hopeless. His little son died before maturity and the thought of what he could have produced haunted me long afterward.Stolanne PomeraniansCh. Stolanne Mica RockelleCh.

Goochland, VA 23063 804 556-3380It certainly has been an eventful sum- sr I have several stories to tell you. I like lecdotes because I think they're not only itertainingand instructive, but you're more ely to remember a story for future help an an analytical dissertation.Early one June morning two women tiled separately, each wanting an older male. Amazingly, I seemed to have what tch wanted. The first buyer arrived in the orning. She had owned a Pom for many tars and wanted another. She seemed to eet all my criteria. She took one look at agney and fell in love. Cagney is three years d and has never conceived. She is gorgeous, Jt there is no point in showing her if she on't have puppies. I warned the woman iat Cagney was shy and sensitive. She and le dog clung to each other. When she rotested that the price was too high, her usband said, "If you want her, I just won't lake the truck payment this month" They aid cash and left, armed with a big bag of og food, treats and instructions for her care, was so happy Cagney was going to be in a ome where she'd get lots of attention and Ffection.Late that afternoon the second woman rrived to look at Pearl. Pearl had been a Doiled rotten imp who was returned to meat ge seven and was now approaching her 9th irthday. The woman's father had had a ekingese for 16 years. Having recently re- red as well as lost the Peke, he'd become epressed. The woman felt Pearl would be erfect to cheer him up. Again, it sounded ke a great situation.One hour after leaving with Pearl, the oman called to ask if she could return her. seems her mother had had an allergic eaction to the dog After having a Peke for 16 ears I didn't question her, just told her tobring the dog back. Shortest sale on recordAbout a week later, the woman who had bought Cagney called to say she wasn't eating well. I was really surprised because Cagney had been a good eater. I asked questions, gave advice, and assured the woman that no dog deliberately starves itself.After another 5 weeks, she called again to complain that Cagney wasn't eating well and her vet had said to call me. She implied the vet had examined the dog recently, but I laterfound out that wasn't true. I again asked questions, but gathered that she wanted to return the dog. I said, "She must be homesick. Bringher back." Herhusband was here within an hour. I was appalled at the sight of the dog he handed me. She was limp and lethargic. She had weighed 4 pounds when I sold her now she was down to 3 and 38 pounds. She was too weak to stand. Her undercoat was gone. She was clean and well-brushed, but covered in huge fleasI immediately bathed and dipped her. Then I gave her some Nutrical and began coaxing her to eat. She declined all the goodies - canned dog food, canned chicken, Vienna sausage, yogurt, rice pablum - that usually tempt sick dogs. Finally, in desperation, I offered her some dry puppy food Eukanuba Puppy Food come in tiny nuggets and she ate it So I kept a small pile of puppy food by her nose, so she didn't even have to life her head to eat. I put Pedialyte in her water dish. When I carried her outside, she was able to urinate. I was so alarmed at her weakness, I was afraid she was dying. I watched her closely, continuing to give her Nutrical and puppy vitamins for the iron. The next day while giving her the Nutrical, I noticed hertongue and gums were nearly white. Boy, was she anemic I called my vet, described her symptoms and what I was doing for her. I wondered if she needed a transfusion. He assured me that, since she was not vomiting,I was doing everything possible. Thank goodness she was keeping down what she ate. She continued to urinate, but I never saw her drinking, so I forced herto swallow PedialyteHallmark PomeraniansOffers For SaleCh. Tomanoll's I Cot Legs Ch. Mac's Maybe I WillCh.

When she began fighting this procure, I wasgreatly encouraged.After three days she began to get stronger nd her old silly personality began to reap- ear. Now that she was out of the woods, I oked more carefully at the report from the uyer'svet. He had examined her 2 days after ley bought her. The report does not mention nding anything wrong, but she was given an nema Why, for crying out loudSo what happened to Cagney Was this full-blown case of canine anorexia I don't link it was abuse. I think the buyer meant ell but didn't handle the situation properly, oor Cagney was stressed by being in a new lomeso her appetite was off. Thevetvisitand nema upset her more, further decreasing ler appetite. Meantime, she got an awful flea nfestation which contributed to her anemia, rom there it was a downward spiral. I sold a erfectly healthy dog and got back a desper- itely ill Pom. She's sitting beside me now on he bed, cuddled close, wagging her tail. Her veightis back to 4 lbs. I'll never try to sell her igain, but this won't discourage me from elling an older dog in the future. Poms are an idaptable breed, and placements usually vork well.Beware the dangerous bungee Bungee ords are very handy items. Oh, you know hose stretchy rubber or nylon cords with a look on each end. I've used them for years o secure paraphernalia on the dolly, to at- ach one crate atop another in the van, or to dose an x-pen whose pin has been bent. On i trip to West Virginia dog shows in July, my riend Sandra and I were unloading her van at he motel. We were preparing to take x-pens aff the rack on the front of the van when my ingers slipped off the bungee and the hook flew up and smashed me in the face. I felt like I'd been punched by a fist. I dashed back into the motel room and grabbed a handful of ice out of the cooler. As Sandra helped me wrap ice in a towel, I could see my upper lip was cut from my nose down into the red part. I told her we'd better find a doctor. The dogs werealready safely in crates in the air-conditioned room. We drove to a small hospital two miles away. By the time we walked in, the towel and my shirt were quite bloody. I sat down at the desk and the girl asked, "Would you like to see a doctor It's a good thing I couldn't talk, as I might have snapped, No, I just came in to get out of the heat" Because talking was so difficult, I handed her my drivers license, my husband's business card, and my insurance card. That answered most of her questions.In triage, a nurse took away my ice probably, I know now, a big mistake and taped a big wad of cotton over my upper lip. That was the extent of the examination. I asked that a plastic surgeon be called and the triage nurse agreed it was a good idea. One hour later I was informed that the plastic surgeon on call had refused to come "for a simple facial laceration." Angry and bewildered, Sandra and I left and went to another hospital in downtown Charleston where, after another hour's wait, I was told that they couldn't get a plastic surgeon either. I asked the MD on duty to stitch it up, sternly warning him that I keloid. Three hours after the accident, I left the hospital with 6 stitches in my face. The next day at the show I looked awful, the swelling was so bad. But I was lucky. My eyes weren't hurt, I didn't lose a tooth and my glasses weren't broken.What can you learn from this Well, it's no fun getting hurt, but if you're away from home it's worse. Always carry plenty of ID, including medical insurance cards, who to notify in case of emergency, blood type, drug allergies and whether you wear contacts. If you are unconscious or in shock, this may be the only way to get information on you. A first aid kit in the car is smart. I also have a small one in my tack box. My make-up case had band-aids, antibiotic ointment and analgesic tablets. I always carry assorted sizes of plastic bags and towels so making ice packs the next day was no problem. Be assertive in dealing with medical personnel. Ask then insist.

Lorinda and Darren, just keep up the good work of a quality breeding program.At this time we have a few promising puppies for sale to show homes. Inquiries invited.ency rooms. If you're quiet, stoic, and pa- ent, you 'll wait a long time. And, of course, e carefulwith those bungeesLinda Teresko called to tell me that her rettyshow puppy had chewed the fur off her et. The veterinarian diagnosed it as a con- ict allergy, probably caused by carpet deo- orizing powder Love My Carpet that Linda ad used on her den carpet. The vet said he'd een about 25 similar cases. The bitch was iven a cortisone shot and quit chewing within 4 hours. Linda then tested to see if it was that arpet that had caused the allergy. She kept ie puppy off of it for two weeks, then put her n the rug for 10 minutes. The feet immedi- tely became inflamed again.The vet says the problem is the perfume l the commercial carpet powders. Plain baking oda would safely do the same job. I've also ised Sevin powder on carpets with no prob- m. Carpet people have told Linda that these lowders really aren't good for the carpet or he vacuum cleaner. It's probably impossible o get it all outofa rug with a vacuum cleaner, suggested to Linda that she get her carpet team-cleaned by a professional.Sandra White had a worse foot-chew- ng problem with one of her Tibetan Terriers. Slick "was maturing and ready to show when iandra called to accuse my daughter of doing i horrible job of trimming his feet. Rachal rooms for Sandra. But the trimming contin- ied Those sturdy teeth removed all the hair rom his feet, then began working his way up ill four legs. He's a gorgeous dog, but there vas no way to hide the damage. Of course, iandra tried everything. Rubbing alcohol and Bitter Apple" on his feet proved to be useless. 4arlene Scott Halsey suggested mixing red jepper with petroleum jelly and coating his eet. On a lesser dog than Slick, it probably vould have worked. By now the damage was jp to his hips. We racked our brains to try to igure out why. Finally, Sandra found a combination that worked. First, she moved him but of the show kennel room into the room vith the retired, spayed matrons. Sandra had emembered that a bitch had been in seasonwhen the problem started. Second, she coated the feet and legs with oil of mustard. Whew, this is strong stuff If you have a foot or tail chewing problem, try the other hints first. If you decide to use the oil of mustard, go outdoors to apply it on a calm day. Wear goggles and rubber gloves. Yea, Slick is growing coat.A personal plea to show chairmen the most important people at your show are the exhibitors. Without them, there would be no need for concessionaires, spectators, judges, or AKC reps. While the comfort and convenience of the latter are important, itshould not be at the expense of exhibitors. This was prompted by the Charleston showwhich was not the most pleasant I've attended. Both entrance ramps were blocked by motor homes. We were charged a 3.00 parking fee, but there was insufficient parking space and the attendant was no help. After I'd finished setting up 7 crates, 2 grooming tables, 2 tack boxes, a cooler and an x-pen, the show chairman told me to move as she wanted to put a late-arriving concession in that spot. It had not been so marked. I pointed to my ugly, swollen face, told her I'd justgotten out of the hospital and asked her where she was going to put my stuff. I did not move. All this was so unnecessary if a little proper planning had been done.I hope you are reading this with two Poms in your lap.

HughesI was whelped atthe Great Elms Kennel here it seems that many of America's top inning Pomeranians have been born. Now is so that I am the most famous of them all scause I am the first and only Pom to win est in Show at that prestigious Westminster ogShow which has been held atthe old and uw new Madison Square Garden since before ie century turned. It is still going strong, hat a tradition and me, me, me, best of all. heeWhen I first entered the world, Ruth earn was right on hand to help be get going id grab the first nipple available. I was a go- tter even then. She kept me strong and ealthyfrom the start so I am very fond of the rst human I ever saw.As I grew I found that those big things ailed people admired me very much. I liked lat and learned to strut and show off so that ley exclaimed and talked baby talk to me. hey all seemed to want me to go along with lem as they left. Ruth always said, no." ventually though it happened and now I elongto Olga BakerandSkip Piazza, people ove very much. They must have caught Ruth t a weak moment.Actually I own those two legged things istead of their owning me. Early in my uppyhood I found that prancing around and oking at people with love in my eyes got me ist about anything I wanted. What funAfter awhile 1 was taken to big places here there were lots of other dogs, all sizes, napes and sounds. The barking was very iteresting all kinds - lows, high, rumbles, elps, and shrieks. They called the areas dog hows. I wanted to explore, but found I was xpected to stay more or less in a certain ection. There were little fellows that looked ke me, that is sort of. I always felt superior.I was expected to walk on the end of a tring around, and up and back, beside afoot. That was easy and fun, too. Standing on a table to meet a new person was exciting. I loved to watch gleaming eyes as I was checked all over. Then, after leading my guy around the ring a little more, all I had to do was walk over to a big wooden thingthat had a number One on it. There were other numbers but I got the habit of going to that one. I kept the human I had at the other end of the string in good tow to get there fast. I learned that this meant I was beating them all.I loved the brushing, clipping and undivided attention that I got before each Show Event. I was always willing to cooperate at the shows because everyone made so much of me when I finished. I just lapped it up. I learned to walkto perfection, stand to perfection and in fact, I soon became a perfect Pomeranian. I'm sure of it as so many said so.After awhile 1 got to investigate those different looking dogs when I went into a space called a Group Ring. I had to stay there longer but soon found I had to do the same old thing on the end of a string. However, there was added a lot of noise called clapping which made it more exciting. I always headed for my number, but sometimes had to settle for 2, 3 or 4, because some judges liked another shape better than mine. Many of the dogs didn't get to go to any number, in which case they were said to lose. I felt sorry for them. I didn't do that very often.Twenty four times this year I pranced to the Number One and found that after that I got to get nearer to several other dogs that all looked like giants to me. Butthey smelled like dogs and had a human with them also. I found that I had to walk at the end of the line as they could run faster than I. But they did what I did except for standing on the table. They would in most cases overlap it. I still got to look the judge right in the face. Maybe the eye contact did it, but twelve times this pastMNM's Poms-R-UsSneak Preview of Coming AttractionsJust a sampling of the fantastic things we have planned for 1989Ch.

The manufacturer has offered to replace the beds at no charge to me. The letter was quite apologetic and educational. According to James N. Elesh, President of Flexi-Mat , The foam comes from suppliers ranging from automobile seats to kitchen chairs the cedar is a by-product of lumber mills. Since we do purchase these products from other companies we are somewhat at their mercy. It is very difficult to catch small particles such aswhatyou found in one of our beds." We, as dog owners seem to be at the mercy of such companies as Flexi-Mat with much more at risk from an oversight of an employee.So what can we do First, I think we all owe it to our dogs to examine each dog bed we receive. This may mean taking a brand new bed apart and dumping its contents on the floor, sifting through it to make certain there are no hazardous materials inside, and then sewing it up again. Second, if indeed you do find any such materials you should notify the retailer and track down the manufacturer of the bed and let them know as well.We owe it to our dogs to carefully inspect each item we buy for them. When new babies join a household, people go from room to room child-proofing the house. They check each toy to be sure there are no dangerous parts that could injure the childor come off and be swallowed. This is precisely the thinking process we should employ every time we purchase toys or bedding for our dogs.If enough letters are received by the retailers and manufacturers of all dog products, their quality control personnel will have to begin taking a closer look at how those products are made before they are shipped. Even when that day finally comes we are still completely responsible for the welfare and safety of our dogs.Prince, continuedyear I got Best in Show. Then we got beautiful ribbons I never gotto play with them and a lot of big things they call trophies. Cameras flashed bright lights at me. I had to get used to that. The complete adulation from my people and others is rewarding.I heard the other day that they have People Dog Shows but call them Beauty Pageants. Only the young girls compete so I am sure they can't be as important as ours. What happens to all those nice men Maybe they are only the clappers, or have to stay home to take care of puppies.Come to think of it, I like the girl Pomeranians much better than the boys. Back home they often come to play with me. I hear that there are often surprising results. Beautiful puppies Oh, well. When is the next dog showSecond Opinion, continued from p. 64.I would like to add and you can draw your own conclusions that the emergency vet's total charges to spay my girl would have been almost 600.00. The second vet, Dr. F. would have charged 300.00. Dr. K, the vet who did not want to spay, would have charged under 200.00.I hope this story of my experiences will help someone else who runs into a similar situation. It at all possible, see more than one vet. My two poms would have been spayed unnecessarily if I had not gotten a second opinion.94Great Elms Kennels, Reg'dVWINNERSDOGPIEDMONT KCBaines PhotoCh.

Box 937 Pineville, NC 28134951988by Pauline HughesThis year might well be called the year of the Pomeranian. It all started with Ch. Great Elms Prince Charming winning Best in Show at America's most prestigious dog event He took the crown as his right, and with the usual Pom expression which clearly says, "I love you and isn't this fun." He might have added, "You know, I really kept up with those other big dogs."Michelle Billings, a beautiful lady and renowned judge was applauded for her choice and insight. Skip Piazza never missed a trick in his expert handling and Olga Bakerflewon clouds for weeks. What gloryRuth Beam, his breeder, feels that her long dedication to producing better and ever better Pomeranians has paid off. This is a laurel she well deserves. Many, many top winning dogs have been of her breeding and she has her bloodline mixed somewhere in most of our outstanding champions of today.Ruth has been planning to retire lately. She states that fifty one years is long enough. It is, after that one more litter. Me too and many others What is a Pom home without a few of those little busy fluff balls The feel of them, the sound of them, the puppy smell, and even the cleanup after them. It is a delight. The love they give usNow back to our Pom Prince. Olga states that once she saw him she felt an immediate kinship. She wanted to own him. Eventually with help of Skip Piazza she was able to do so. Showing seemed to be born in the little fellow. He seems to love it and his buoyant attitude and precise gait make him a delight to judges and exhibitors alike.Winning became a routine experience for him, even Group 1. But taking Best in any all breed show is something else. He now has nineteen. We Pom people expect many more.We hear he has some outstanding kids too and is on the way to being a top producer. We salute you, Prince Charming.Ruth Beam is also very proud of Ch. Great Elms Pride and Joy, owned by Bonnie Stetson. He has four Bests in Show already. It is not often a breeder has the two BIS top places in the same year filled by dogs she has produced. We congratulate her.Sue Goddard has been active in the American Pomeranian Club for several years. She has also been a serious breeder-exhibitor. In this 1988 her Ch. Tim Sue's High Lights has three BIS wins. Janice Luginsland is the co-owner. He has two Champion daughters in the ring to prove his worth.The Pressers have the pleasure of their Ch. Apolloette Moonlight Gambler being a top winner and staying among the elite for quite awhile. He has a BIS win to his credit and so does Ch. Homestead's Spit 'N Polish, owned by HurleyEnbel.Kennel Review gave the top winners for the eighties to include these others Ch. Lennis's Tar Lacey Foxfire, Jenner 1980 Ch. Bev- Nor's Toasted Fudge, NorrisJenner 1981, 1982, 1983, Ch. Coy's Top of the Mark 1984, Ch. D-Nee's Darin Duffie, Hersil 1985, Ch. Precious Petite's Gabriel, Pfeffer 1986, and Prince Charmingfor 1988 and so far this year ahead.Ch. Gabriel has been a favorite of mine. He come to California from time to time where I can seen him. I was impressed with Ch. Darin' Duffie too when I saw him at the Summer Specialty in California. I am hoping to see many of our best Poms on the West Coast this year. The APC Summer Specialty should attract many and there is always the big Beverly Hills show and of course, Santa Barbara. The welcome mat is always out.96Yips and YapsSPECIAL-TYMy trip to California for the APC and NCPC specialties and other shows following was exhilarating as far as I am personally concerned. I was with Dolores Watts, who being president of APC, gave limelight to my visit. How lucky can one beFlight out and return were uneventful. However, our early morning return time was cancelled for reason of the plane scheduled being crippled. The substitute took time and made for a wait and later arrival home. Quite acceptable versus a crash or whatever. As is always true, it is exciting to go but of course, so good to get home. Dave had done a commendable job of home duties so all was in good order upon our return. Weather was considerably warmer than what we had experienced on the west coast. It was cold and windy the entire stay though no rain, and the sun shone most of the time. Both Dolores and I wore heavy coats loaned us by Wanda Roach and Jean Schroll and the Pressers had an extra chair for me. Having spent my high school and college days in California I should have remembered the possibility of chilly weather especially in the San Francisco area.The show committee and NCPC members did a splendid job of hosting the Specialties. Theirs was the day following the Parent Club. Hospitality, service, rooms, food, trophy display and decorations gave evidence of many hours of planning and work. The banquet was especially outstanding for the food was excellent and nicely served. The evening following was entertaining and interesting.When I said the trip was exhilaratingfor me, I meant just that and more. I was seated atthejudges table with Michelle Billings who judged the regular and non-regular classes, and Derial Jackson who did the Sweepstakes.I have known both of them for a long, long time - Michelle in the ring, whom I dearly admire and respect, and Derial, whom Ithought of as a walking encyclopedia of info mation. He has generously shared much of with me. Also at our table were Julie Moren Bench Show Chairperson and Dolly Traune officer of NCPC. These two were no strange as I have known them fora longtime. Seate at my right was Dolores Watts, our AP President. As you all know I now live with hi and husband Dave. There are not wort suitable to express the love and admiration feel for them. They are my savior and bem factor.After the food was enjoyed by all personally thought it was super, Julie toe over the podium as spokeslady. She pr fessed not to be much of a speaker but thought differently, for she kept everyone attention. After clever repartee, she thanke her committee, judges, exhibitors and men bersofthe NCPC for their help in making th specialty a success. Introductions started wit each person, table to table, standing u[ giving their name and state they were fron Her comments were both amusing and ente tainingasshe proceeded. My great shockan surprise came when Juliewenttosomelengt talking about a lady honorary member an past president of the Parent Club with favoi able and flattering statements and suddenl asked me to stand and be recognized. Wit somewhatwobbly legs, I managed to rise an as I did so, the entire audience stood u awarding me a standing ovation. I felt muc as the late Lucille Ball must have felt whe given her last ovation on TV. Needless to sa\ tears came to my eyes and thoughts of, "Ho\ great it is" to know people understand, car and recognize you for whatyou are and hav accomplished. It made me aware of the fac that just maybe my efforts had in some wa contributed to all the hopes and joy our bree has given us. For certain, I am at a loss to fin proper words to express my gratitude to a concerned.9The judges were asked to comment. Of ourse Michelle is so popular. She is knownand dmired by every Pom person for her Best in how award to a Pom at the Westminster how in '88. Whata thrill that was I watched on TV. Michelle looked so beautiful and onfident and to all Pom lovers, she was. Her peech was short but rewarding with praise nd some suggestions for improvement Derial ave a little insight of the breed history.Tickets were sold for one dollar each nd numbers drawn and whomever had that lumber approached atable laden with pack- ges of all shapes and color to chose his or her em. This continued until the last one was aken. Each opened their choice which brought i variety of laughs, oohs and aahs. I was lucky o select one that contained a powder blue weat shirt with a Pom head sketched on ront.As for me, the entire stay was an all new ball game" not as an exhibitor but as a relebrity. Many asked for autographs, others vanted me to pose with them for a picture. They say "everyone has their day" and I surely lad mine. Haven't returned to full reality of ill that took place but I am writing this nessage to let my friends and admirers know am most appreciative of their expression of ood thoughts and wishes.One more thing I would like to say is hat I have been named General Education loordinator. Sally Baugniet had more work han she could handled but she still retains he position of Judges Education Coordina- or. I shall make every effort to fulfill my duties. I am honored to have been given such esponsibility.aithfully yours,Edna GirardotDBEDIENCE BREEDINGAre there people I know there are, ince I'm seeing it in bits and pieces in the Review and the Anniversary Issue who breed 3oms with an eye to obedience as thea majorconsideration How do they go about it Is there any consensus or scientific basis on which to work, or is it as itseems to have been in the old days in show breeding-just a matter of picking the two best dogs for whatever you want and breeding them I've read some things on breeding for obedience that seem to indicate that too many genetic possibilities are involved, i.e., willingness to work, intelligence, patience, etc.I know that not looki ng for such th ings at all can result in problems I can't count the number of people who have admired my Pom, Anjing, with such great surprise I thought they were such nervous dogs." She goes with me almost everywhere, and has even helped me teach Sunday School - and she's notyet 9 months old. I'm willingto take partcreditfor raising, socializing, training, etc. In fact, I'll take all the creditanyonewantto give me, but much of it must be due to better breeding than these people were seeing in the past. But how do I, when Anjing grows up enough and has all those degrees, go about doing anything about it myselfOr maybe there's a book out there that has all THE ANSWERSSincerely,Mrs. Barbara McClatcheyTRIMMINGI feel I must write aboutall the trimming that is going on in Poms. It is about time we take a firmer stand as a club and stop hiring and showing under the judges that are ignoring our standard.There is not much use in having a Standard if it is going to be ignored. It is being ignored by people who are judging and who, in the past have had something to say about over-trimming.The Standard states "Overtrimming shall be severely penalized." In my opinion, and I'm sure in the opinion of a lot of other Pom people, it is disappointing to see the judges continuing to put these dogs up. Granted,they are generally nice quality dogs but in order to put a stop to the overtrimming, the judges are going to have to take a firm stand and put them down. We, as a club, could make ita disqualification and stick to it. There are APC members who judge who are just as guilty as the all-rounders. Until some of these member judges start following the Standard, it will be hard to get others to do so.If I had wanted a poodle I would have gotten one. Their trimming is just fine since their standard calls for it.Even novices are able to spot the trimming, so I am sure it is not hard for licensed judges to discern. Unless, as the old saying goes, they are all blind. Maybe they are, but some are awfully young for that to be setting inMaybe the new thing we are creating could be called something else - an unpoodle or something equally ridiculous.Poms are a real thing of beauty when in full coat. Judges, please start doing the job you were hired to do.Sincerley,Jean SchrollWe have just returned from the Rogue Valley and Eugene shows, both held at the beautiful Valley of the Rogue State Park. What a lovely place to hold a show and the entry was 24 lovely Poms. Best of Breed the first day was Ever Ready Rocky, shown by Marlin Presser and I agreed with that placing completely. They went on to Croup 2.The second day the judge put up an otherwise lovely Pom except that the skirt was bobbed off, giving the Pom a round behind with no long hairs at all in the rear. Two other handlers also showed Poms bobbed off in the rear. Are we going to let the judges put up these bobbed Poms without a complaint. I AM NOTAfter the judging was completed I confronted the judge with the Standard. He asked me if I would put down an otherwiseperfect specimen for a little overtrimming, told him I certainly would that the Standari says overtrimming should be "heavily penal ized."I did not have a Pom conformation tha day only in obedience.Sincerely,Elma ManiesTHANKSJust returned from the two specialties ii South San Francisco, California. The North ern California Pom Club did a lovely job o hosting the two events. Getting to know somi of our Northern California neighbors outsidi the ring was special. Thanks for the littli things you did to make us feel welcome Meeting newcomers to Poms is always highlighted treat.Congratulations to the deserving win ners, in particular the outstanding blacl Doctor's Pepper CF, handled nicely by Gleni C. Bernardo. Visiting with APC friends in eluding Nadine, Dolores, Sally and Edna anc making new friends in a sober environmen was unique and much appreciated.Looking forward to our fifth APC Sum mer Specialty in 1990. Don't forget San Diegc Pom Club's independent specialty on Satur day, June 23,1990 in the Greater Los Angele Area of California, Golden West Dog Club. I will be a Toy Clubs Specialty Show similar tc the Great Western Terrier Specialties ShowSincerely,Daniel and Margaret Ontiveros COLOR ISSUE Dear Phyllis,Hurray I am ready for another coloi issue My other one is getting worn out sc count mein. Bytheway,arewegoingto have a Brood Bitch RegisterSincerely,Emily Untalan9How many people want a Brood Bitch Register I am sure willing because I've always out so much importance on bitches, but when I tried to offer it a few years ago, the interest really wasn't too keen. We could do it the same way we do the Stud Register, if it's all right with the Board. I'd be happy to do it. Let me know.The January issue has been traditionally set aside for obedience, the April issue goes to the judges and the July issue is the Stud Register. It's too late this year but next year we could have a Brood Register in the October issue. There's plenty of time to work on your friends and spread the word. Let's go for itP.S. I have received a great deal of support for the idea of an annual color issue. Now all we have to do is decide which issue and how soon we want to do it. I'll work up a price schedule and print it in the next issue. The prices probably won't be as attractive as they were for the Anniversary Issue, so prepare yourselves. Color is really special and really special'' is often really costly. I hope you will work on getting some really spectacular photographs of your really spectacular dogs. Show photos are nice for recording the event, but it is possible to ask the show photographers to take casual shots elsewhere on the showgrounds, when the show is nearly over and they aren't being called from one ring to the next. Croup time is a good time. Dog show photographers are familiar with shooting dogs and how to make them look their best. You may be surprised at the reasonable cost of having such a photo taken, considering the hassle of getting your dog ready, waiting for good weather, and bribinga friend with a good camera to help youThe EditorCIRCULATION MANAGERJohn Cribbs Rt 1, Box 249 Doswell, VA 23047 804 876-3643SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION 'Tour inquiries answered within 24 hours"20.00 per year - Third Class Mail Rates apply to U.S., Canada, Mexico, APO's, Puerto Rico U.S. Funds Only 25.00 per year - First Class MailMailing Time3rd class -10-14 days 1st class - 3-5 daysIf you move, 3rd class mail is not forwarded by the Post Office.
