Garton's King of Bavaria and Ch. Jeribeth's Sir LancelotPom ReviewApril 1990 Page 5Opening Views...No pretenses are made when I say that I am extremely happy to be the new editor of the POMERANIAN REVIEW. But, at the same time, I can appreciate what Phyllis has been going through on being notified that a new editor had been hired. In fact, I sympathize with her. I was not on the decision making end of this situation but I make no apologies for having been selected.Word has already reached me that there is some dissatisfaction with this decision and that rumors have been flying faster than humming birds. But that is human nature for you. But getting facts straight at this point and dispelling any rumors is all important.I did not actively go out and seek to take over this publication. It was only after a board member of APC saw the premier issue of the toy magazine I recently started TOY PARADE - see ad this issue and notified other board members, that I was contacted by one of APC's board members in soliciting my interest. I believe the board thought my bid, the look of TOY PARADE and my experience in this field warranted offering me the opportunity to produce this lovely publication for its subscribers.I have nearly 20 years of experience in the fields of journalism, editorship andmarketing that provide the mechanics in giving me the ability to produce a quality product. My dog association nearly matches those years having been, originally, a Yorkie fancier breederhandler for 14 years. My family's love and admiration of the Whippet and Greyhound find these breeds our cup of tea and recently we added the rare breed Coton de Tulear, the Royal Dog of Madagascar. Iownthe champion Greyhound litter sister to Margaret McKee's "Azyr" that she spoke of in her column last month.I am a very active member of the Virginia Beach Kennel Club and have served as past President currently nominated again for the position, Vice- President current and past, Secretary, Education and Publicity Chairperson and Show Chairperson of numerous shows. I am the editor of that club's monthly newsletter and I get called on to do a lot of Toy BreedsGroup Match judging.Now I realize all of that probably wasn't necessary, but I wanted each of you to know who I am and where I am coming from. I am not some fly-by- night individual who is in this game of dogs and publishing just for the bucks.I truly love what I do and I hope that theCont. on page 6Page 6 Pom Revie wApril 1990Opening Views corn, from page s future we share with the POMERANIAN REVIEW will be a long and happy one for all of us.This column will probably not be an every issue item from me. But I will write one when I feel the need is there to get some views across. Those views may very well come through letters received from you and talking to those of you I see at shows. They may come from other dog related topics that I come across and feel are very important for the Pom fancy to be aware of. In any case, when this Opening Views column does appear, you will know it is there not to merely spout verbiage across the page just to hear myself talk or boost my ego, but to further enlighten and educate each of you.Your letters and comments will always be welcome. There are hundreds of ideas out there that I have not thought of that help continue to make this publication one of pride for all who see it. Please keep the lines of communication open.I plan to reinstitute the use of photos of those writing columns for the Review. Those of you who regular write a column should search through the mounds of photos and choose one that you feel is particularly pleasing to yourself. If you don't have one, have one made. I think this is at least one way that the APC and the Review can show its appreciation to you for taking the time to write these informative columns for all to read. Believe me, I appreciate the efforts each of you put into writing.As of this issue we basically start from scratch. I cannot honor any commitments that the former editor had made regarding page reservations, etc. If you know that you want specific placement in future issues, you need to contact me immediately so that we can get those reservations made. Phone calls are great andthey will be returned in the order taken by my answering machine. But remember, reservations will only be honored if a follow-up letter is received with funds enclosed per our phone agreements. I already have the inside front page for the July issue and January '91 front cover reserved. Make your reservations nowSome subscribers have already queried me on the possibility of color in their ads. Color cannot be used unless there is a total of four pages needed for such. This is because runs by the printer will be made in sets of four pages together. Color would be needed on each of those four pages in order to make the cost affordable for those wanting it. This means any type of color, whether it be borders, lettering, or the photos itself. Front and back covers are an exception because the price would include the heavier weight of paper utilized on the cover, and thus only those two pages would be run in color. As always, if you are interested in a color cover front back, call me for those prices.E.

This entry was second only to the Centennial show. A great deal of thanks goes to all those who gave of their time to see that everything was prepared for the show, especially to my household members, Edna, who did such a terrific job with the trophies, and to my David, who took care of the Grounds, etc. A very special vote of thanks to Audrey, our Show Secretary, as she did another great job this year.Janice Luginsland graciously accepted to cover the story of the Specialty for you. Also, highlights of the Annual Meeting are enclosed in this issue.The attendance for the Annual Meeting was quite pleasing in numbers and I hope all left the meeting with the assurance that your Board of Directors is hard at work trying to resolve the problems that exist in the club. The membership was also introduced to Mr. Chip Galloway from Baltimore, Maryland who was gracious enough to take his time and do a beautiful audit of the club's books for 1989. The Board of Directors also appointed the Audit Committee, consisting of Tim Goddard, Joyce Dem- binsky and Jon Marcantonio, all of whom met on Saturday, February 10, and they elected to accept Mr. Galloway's report as theirs and so gave their decision to the Board. There were a few serious discre- pencies noted in Mr. Galloway's audit and the membership was made aware of these items at the Annual Meeting. Also, several recommendations were made by Mr. Galloway in reference to the Club's finances and I hope to see several of these items adopted. I have already appointed Dianne Johnson, our First V.P., to Chair a Finance Committee. This committee was formed to guide the club in their financial affairs. Dianne is open to suggestions that members would care to submit tothis committee. The Board will be also looking into the status of the Club's books for the year 1988.The hospitality the night before the show was a huge success with plenty of liquid refreshment for one and all, as well as many fancy dishes brought in by the members from all over different parts of the country. I know the hospitality was a success as it went on into the late hours and people were comfortably scattered in the hospitality room, flowing over into the halls. I only wish we had asked the members to list their dishes and I could have given some special mention at this time. In any event, there was enough participation in this event that the treats lasted for two days plus. My thanks to all of you who got involved in this.Again this year there were many favorable comments as to how well everyone liked the Marriot as our Show headquarters. As we have not had official notification from the American Kennel Club on our constitutional change, it is reasonably safe to assume that the show will be held at the Marriot next year.I also feel that the membership was thoroughly pleased with the first presentation of the Awards. There were 14 different awards given in both the fields of conformation and obedience. Mary Vickers, our Awards Chairman, has also planned an article on this for this issue.Until the next issue,Sincerely yours in Poms, Dolores Watts, Pres.Page 8 Pom ReviewApril 1990CHAMPION GREAT ELMS PRINCE CHARMING II 1988 BEST IN SHOW WESTMINSTER WINNERI -JnLA.TOP-PRODUCING POMERANIAN STUD DOG -1989Owners Skip Piazza and Olga BakerPresenting CHAMPION JERIBETHS SIR LANCELOT - Outstanding cream son ofChampion Great Elms Prince CharmingSt A"Lance" Number 1 Pomeranian in the Nation - In the Breed - 1989 Recipient of Kal- Kans Top Dog in the Breed Award - Multi-Group winner - Pomeranian Specialty Winner - Top-Winning Cream Pomeranian in History - Owned by Olga Baker, J.

Peter Galindo stated that the By-laws say a written list of expenditures is required - Dianne thanked Peter for his input and will do so. She also asked for any other help.A check for 1570 from Coast Dog Shows was lost and not posted to our account. Coast is either out of business or has new owners and we might not get this money back.

Oct. 89The Dallas-Ft. Worth Pomeranian Club has been approved to hold the 1993 Summer National Specialty. Tentative plans are to hold the show at the location of the South Fork Ranch from the TV show Dallas fame.As you know our National Specialty has come and gone. Surprises for some and disappointments for others. All in all it was a wonderful show. The entry was the largest non special occasion ever. The hospitality room was a huge success. Thanks Olga for suggesting it and thanks to the many, many members who took up luggage space and car space to bring so many wonderful goodies. We fed everyone for several days.New York is always exhausting. Being on the Board I get absolutely no sleep from Friday until I leave on Monday. There are meetings after meetings.I wish to comment on some rumors and misconceptions which were circulated in NewYorkandbeforeNewYork. Themost vicious seemed to circulate concerning our new Review and the past Review.First of all the Review was shown to be so very profitable by some members. In fact the Review in 1985 lost a total of 5400.Cont. on page 13April 1990Pom Review Page 13Secretary's Report cont from page 12In the years that followed, the loss was not as much but was still substantial, costing this club much money. In 1989 the Review made a profit of 5592.30. However this was made up of a once every ten years income of the sale of Anniversary issues for a total of 11,000. Which means the Review in a normal year would have lost money. Figures from Phyllis were circulated showing consistent profits which were inaccurate.The other rumor concerning the Review was that all ads must be presented in camera ready form. This is totally false. Ads may be presented in the same condition you have always presented your ads.The next rumor was that Phyllis would edit the review for 5.00 per page when the actual fact is the Board has Phyllis' written bid for 25.00 per page. The average cost for Phyllis has been 37.00 per page. This is due to extra fees charged on the Anniversary Issue. On top of that charge we have paid an average of 36.00 per page for the printing and mailing costs. Giving us a total cost of 73.00 per page. Mr. Driggers will charge us only 10.00 per page and the cost on printing will be reduced. This will be a considerable savings. Please members, lets support our Review, it is the only Parent Club Publication approved by APC. It's the best and we will from here on out only make it better With the costs being curtailed the topic of going to 6 issues is being discussed again. We need to be assured the ads will be there to support it. Only you members and non-members who put in ads can let us know thatBack to the show The Annual Dinner had a record turnout The awards were terrific And Mary Vickers was witty and made the anticipation rise by her secretive tactics. Congratulations to the many award winners. Thanks to Sam Zancoff for a customary well done job on the dinner. The trophies were lovely this year andall credit goes to Edna Girardot who did a terrific job as the Trophy Chairman. Credit also goes to the Watts who were her committee. Thanks to Dave Watts and Rejean Dupuis for doing the work on the Grounds committee. They were up until 130 a.m. Saturday night putting the ring together and stayed after the show to take the ring down. I need some volunteers to help with this job next year Many, many thanks go to my sister who isn't a member or even an owner of a Pom who manned the Hospitality room and must have retrieved 100 buckets of ice. Thanks to the many who helped her. The Judges Education Seminar was a big success. Thanks to Janice Luginsland, Sally Baugniet, Jackie Stacy, Nadine Hersil, Ken Miller and every one who participated and helped in any way. Plans are underway for the seminar next year. Talk is going on about a Membership seminar. No thanks goes to Continental Airlines who lost one of my briefcases with VIP files in it. It has yet to be found In it were the list of marked catalog recipients, some member files which I can get copies of and most importantly, my yearly working files copies of these are being sent to me by Dolores.Last but not least thanks to our two judges this year. Nadine Hersil and Sally Baugniet. They did an excellent job and as I heard many times that weekend, they certainly made a statement I thoroughly enjoyed bunking with Sally as she is quite an educator and many lively and informative conversations were hadNew MembersCont. on page 14New Members com. from page 14Brenda Jane Poplar 1098 Seaview Ave.Woodbridge, VA 22191 703-494-2265Paul Barbara Curry W310 S9511 Hwy 1 Mukwonago, WI 53149 414-363-7385Page 14 Pom ReviewApril 1990Carolyn Tumase PO Box 871209 Wasilla, AK 99687 907-376-2565Patricia A.

Na-Bob Talk of Town x Pombreden's Hevnly Son Shine Owner Barbara Robert Freden. This dog was entered as a solid-colored white with darker shadings of the same color. He would have been equally as correct as a cream with lighter shadings in the ROCS class. There is absolutely no reason for me to have disqualified this dog for being in the wrong color class when the standard states "... any solid color with lighter or darker shadings of the same color...".What does bother me is a black and tan whose tan markings in the places specified in the standard are not really tan, but are cream or a shade of that color on the rear and tan in only the front markings. The standard does not really allow for that The only thing left for a judge to dois penalize to the extent of the deviation, just as we must do in dogs which appear to be trimmed beyond that which is allowed in the standard.Back to my critique After a twenty minutebreak, 13 lovely Puppy Bitches in the 6-9 mo. class came into the ring. 2 were absent. 1st, in this class was Mer- rymont On Nite Stand Breeder-owner Patrica Griggin Sire Ch.

We had a seminar the day before our specialty for people that had applied or sent their intent to apply to judge Pomeranians to A.K.C. These people were sitting ringside with resource people to discuss and learn from the Poms at the specialty. It would send a mixed message to these people and be hypocritical to teach such when judging.One other fad that I hope will cease immediately, is the use of lacquer hair spray on Pom coats. I have never felt so many sticky coats on so many Poms. This is a foreign substance in the coat and is not allowed by A.K.C. I did not excuse those Poms immediately, but I could not consider them or bring them back for the final cut. One of these times you arePage 22 Pom ReviewApril 1990going to find a judge that will excuse you on the spot and mark the book as such. We are making Poms more like Poodles every day with scissors and hair spray. Please, study your standard This is what the judges are being taught because you complain about the judges and judging. It is time for you to educate yourself in your breed and quitcherbel- lyaching.I'm sorry, I aifi scolding again. Thanks for the privilege of judging this specialty. You will never know how much it means to me. It is an honor.Sincerely,Sally Baugniet A.P.C.

Education Coordinator and Standardization Report, Sally Baugniet, ChairmanThe A.P.C. board approved the "Interpretation and Elaboration of the Pomeranian Standard" and also approved the "Official Standard for the Pomeranian" in the A.K.C. format. A.K.C. requires us to adhere to their format.The Standard was put into A.K.Cs format. No words or content was changed from the standard which now exists. The only change was the order in which it was arranged.The "Interpretation and Elaboration of the Pomeranian Standard" is the result of the new format and an explanation of the various parts of the standard. Those explanations were taken from the Standard andor Elaboration changes which were recommended by the members of theStandardizationand Education Committees. The explanations are separated from the Standard itself under the headings "Elaboration". We are using this document in our education seminars and as material requested by judges who have applied to A.K.C. to judge Pomeranians.Once the Standard format is approved by the membership and A.K.C., we have five years to make any changes. Please contact me if you have any comments or suggestions on the "Elaboration" for future Standard changes orinclusions. The "Standard" and the "Elaboration" are as followsThe Required New Format of the Pomeranian StandardI. GeneralAppearance The Pomeranian in build and appearance is a cobby, balanced, short-coupled dog. Ho exhibits great intelligence in his expression and isalert in character and deportment.Elaboration The total balanced dog should have good shoulder layback and enough neck so as to carry the head proudly and high. It should have enough leg for ground to be seen beneath it. The Pom has the look of fitting into a circle.Any deviation from the ideal described in the standard should be penalized to the extent of the deviation. Structural faults common to many other breeds are as undesirable to the Pomeranian as in any other breed even though such faults may not be specifically mentioned in the standard.II. Size, proportion and SubstanceSize The weight of the Pomeranian for exhibition is from 3 to 7 pounds. The ideal size for show specimens are 4 to 5 pounds.Elaboration Contrary to some breeds of dogs, many Pom breeders prefer a male to fit into the lower end of the standard weight. The reason given most often is to lessen problems during whelping. Poms do have more than their share of whelping problems even though there may be some free whelping 3 pounders. Don't forget, if it is acceptable to put up a 3 pound Pom, it should be just as acceptable to put up a 7 pound Pom even though 4 to 5 is preferred. Just because the Pom is a Toy, 3 pounds is not better than 7 pounds. Keep in mind that 5 pounds is mid-way between 3 and 7.Proportion The Pomeranian in build and appearance is a cobby, balanced, short-coupled dog. The legs are of medium length in proportion to a well balanced frame.Elaboration The distancefrom point of shoulder to root of tail is no greater than distance from withers to Cont. on page 28Page 28 Pom ReviewApril 1990 Pom Standard Cont. from page 27ground. The proportion of height to length is important in having the total look of the Pom fitting into a circle. We do not want a "dumpy" Pom, that is, a long-backed, low-legged Pom, or a Pom that is too leggy.Substance The body is well- ribbed and rounded. The brisket is fairly deep and not too wide.Elaboration The depth of the chest should reach the elbow. The standard says nothing about bone. Many people would agree that, proportionately, bone as fine as that of the Italian Greyhound would be too fine and yet we do not want bone so heavy as to appear out of proportion to the total dog. Poms should have med ium bone and always in proportion to the overall size of the dog.III. Head Well proportioned to thebody, wedged-shaped, with a Fox-like expression.Elaboration The fox-like expression refers to the alert character of the Pom. However, in comparing the head and expression to two other "looks" which are sometimes seen in Poms, the bear or mouse look is not proper or consistent with the proper head type.Eyes Bright, dark in color, and medium in size, almond-shaped and not set two wide apart nor close together. Pigmentation around eye rims must be black, except self-colored in brown and blue.Elaboration Often we see a Pom with the incorrect round eye shape. This and any deviation in pigmentation will be penalized to the extent of the deviation.Ears Small, carried erect and mounted high on the head and place not too far apart.Elaboration Some Poms with a wide skull have very wide set ears, somewhat similar to the a Westie's ear set. The Pom ears should be set close together. It is impossible to see them set too high. This contributes to the alert fox-like expression.Skull Not domed in outline. A round, domey skull is a major fault.Elaboration The coat on the Pom's skull is shorter and more tightly packed than the body coat. This may give the appearance of a domey skull. Feel the skull from stop to occiput, gently, with your thumb. Do not confuse profuse head hair with proper shape and stop.The width of the skull is approximately equal to the distance from the stop to the occiput. The skull is always in proportion to the muzzle. The whole head is in proportion to the total dog.Muzzle There is a pronounced stop with a rather fine but not snipey muzzle. Pigment around the lips must be black, except self-colored in brown and blue.Elaboration The muzzlelength from the tip of the nose to the stop is approximately one-third the distance from stop to occiput. A very long, heavy muzzle is a course muzzle. A short, wide, Chow-type muzzle does not fit into the "rather fine" category.Bite The teeth meet in a scissors bite in which part of the inner surface of the upper teeth meet and engages part of the outer surface of the lower teeth. One tooth out of line does not mean an undershot or overshot mouth. An undershot mouth is a major fault.Elaboration Many Poms,having been bred down from a largerCont. on page 29April 1990Pom Review Page 29Pom Standard Cont. from page 28sized Arctic breed, have a problem fitting all 42 teeth in their tiny mouth. The standard heavily penalizes an undershot mouth, but does not penalize an overshot or level bite to the same extent.Some Poms might have missing teeth. This could be from teeth that are pulled to make room for proper alignment, or pulled because of infected teeth. If the teeth are not cared for, it could affect the health of the whole dog. Poms are noted for tooth loss as early as 3 years of age.Nose pigmentation on the nose must be black, except self-colored in brown and blue.IV. Neck. Topline and BodyNeck The neck is rather short, its base set well back on the shoulder.Elaboration The length of neck should be proportionate to well-laid back shoulders. As an extension of the spinal column, the neck shall be long enough to carry the head proudly and high.Topline is level.Body The body is cobby being well ribbed and rounded.Chest The brisket is fairly deep and not too wide.Tail The tail is characteristic of the breed. It turns over the back and is carried flat, set high.Elaboration A low set tail gives the appearance of a long backed Pom. Some Poms may have a curl at the tip of the tail bone. A fault is not specified for this, but a straight bone would allow the hair at the tip of the tail to extend forward. A straight, high, flat tail set contributes greatly to the total balance of the Pom.Shoulders The Pom is not Straight-in-shoulder, but has sufficient layback of shoulders to carry the neck proudly and high.Forelegs The forelegs are straight and parallel, of medium length in proportion to a well balanced frame.Pasterns The Pomeranian stands well-up on toes. Down in pasterns is a major fault.Elaboration Pasterns arestrong and parallel to each other.Dew Claws Dew claws on the forelegs may be removed.Feet The Pomeranian stands well-up on toes.Elaboration The Pomeranian has small compact cat-like feet which turn neither in nor out.VI. HindquartersAngulation Elaboration Hindquarters and forequarters should be of equal angulation.Legs The hocks are perpendicular to the ground, parallel to each other from hock to heel, and turning neither in nor out. Cowhocks or lack of soundness in hind legs or stifles is a major fault. Dew claws, if any, on the hind legs are generally removed.Elaboration The legs are of medium bone with moderately bent stifles. Unsound stifles are a problem in Poms. A very unsound stifle will be obvious if the patellas can be seen slipping in and out when the dog is gaiting. If this causes the dog to limp, of course, it must be excused.Feet The Pomeranian stands well- up on toes.V. ForequartersCont. on page 30Page 30 April 1990Pom Review Pom Standard Cont. from page 29Elaboration Its cat-like feet turn neither in nor out.VII. Coat Coat type on head, legs and tail differ from body coat.Head Coat Elaboration Head coat is tightly packed and shorter in length than that of the body.Body Coat Double-coated A short, soft, thick coat consisting of guard hairs which must be harsh to the touch in order to give the proper texture for the coat to form a frill of profuse, standing-off straight hair. A soft, flat or open coat is a major fault.Elaboration A ruff around the neck is created by a correct coat. A coat that droops probably is either lacking in enough undercoat to hold the guard hair up to a stand-off coat, or has improper soft guard hair. A long drooping Pekingese-type coat is incorrect on a Pom.Tail Coat It is profusely covered with hair.Elaboration Long tail hair, combed toward the head and over the body coat, adds greatly to the over-all beauty and balance of the Pomeranian. Some Poms have such a long plume that the hair parts and falls to the side. This should not be faulted.Leg Coat The front legs are well feathered and the hindquarters are clad with long hair or feathering from the top of the rump to the hocks.Elaboration The leg coat is tightly packed and much shorter in length than the body coat. Front leg feathering extends from the point of the elbow to the bottom of the pastern. Leg coat on some Poms is more compact, giving a heavy bone look. Run you hands down the legs to feel the leg, pastern and foot.Trimming Trimming for neatness is permissible around the feet and up the back of the legs to the first joint trimming of unruly hairs on the edges of the ears and around the anus is also permitted. Over-trimming beyond the location and amount described in the breed standard should be HEAVILY PENALIZED.Elaboration Trimming thefoot for neatness can show off the tight cat-like and strong pasterns for the well- up-on toes look. Knowledgeable trimming is many times done to disguise weak pasterns and slightly toe-out feet. Trimming, along with brushing the hair up on the feet and pasterns, can also be done to give the look of more bone and balance to the dog.Abundant ruff around the neck may make larger ears look small. Improperly trimmed ears may make the ear appear larger than it really is. Feel the ear from the base, to ascertain ear size.Often hair on the ruff around the ears is evened off to eliminate the scraggly look. This is somewhat beyond what the standard calls for but not really sculpturing. Some people brush the bib up and shape it. Trimming around the anus is allowed. How far around is not spelled out. The hair and feathering on the hindquarters is often thinned discreetly so the dog does not look longer than it is. Some of the hair near the base of the tail that might fall over the anus is sometimes discreetly trimmed away.Other areas that are trimmed and sculptured on the Pom have not been mentioned - but are very obvious that sculpturing has been done. It is up to the judge to determine how much trimming is beyond that which is allowed in the standard and penalize accordingly. Keeping in mind - THIS BREED IS NOT TO BE SCULPTUREDCont. on page 32Pom ReviewApril 1990 Page 31APOLLOETTEo VCASHNtKi-9Apolloette Gone-A-LotTraveler is shown going Winners Dog and Best of Winners for a5pt. major at The Columbia Pomeranian Specialty in January 1990 under Judge Roland Adameck.

ColorClassifications The openclasses at Specialty shows may be divided by color as follows Open Red, Orange, Cream, Sable Open Black, Brown Blue Open Any Other Allowed Color.ACCEPTABLE COLORS TO BE JUDGED ON AN EOUAL BASIS Any solid color, any solid color with lighter or darker shadings of the same color, any solid color with sable or black shadings parti-color, sable and black tan. Black tan is black with tan or rust, sharply defined, appearing above each eye and on the muzzle, throat and forechest, on all legs and feet and below the tail. Parti- color is white with any other color distributed in even patches on the body and a white blaze on head. A white chest, foot, or leg on a whole colored dog except white is a major fault.Elaboration Our standard allows any solid color with sable or black shadings. A black mask is allowed. Some judges remember an earlier standard that penalized a black mask. This is not be be penalized.The reason for the major fault listed under "Color" is to remind you that a Pom having a white chest, foot or leg on a whole-colored dog except white is a mis-marked parti-colored Pom. Do not confuse this with the acceptable "lighter shadings". In addition to these colors listed as acceptable, some additional colors such as brindle, other colors with tan markings and beaver do on occasion appear in the ring. Since there are no disqualifications appearing in the Standard, they must be faulted as a deviation of color.IX Gait the Pomeranian moves with a smooth, free, but not loose action. HePage 32 April 1990Pom Reviewdoes not elbow out in front nor move excessively wide nor cowhocked behind. He is sound in action.Elaboration The Pom also should move excessively close in the rear. It should reach with its front legs and drive from the rear. Front movement should in no way resemble a hackney gait. In side movement, the front foot should reach at least as far as the nose. The proper gait for the Pom should be a forward motion.X. Temperament He exhibits great intelligence in its expression, and is alert in character and deportment.Elaboration A Pomeranian is very active, brave and friendly. It was bred down from a big dog and still acts big. The Pom would challenge another dog, no matter what size.

The group reconvened Sunday morning in a reserved section of the ring with breed resource people to answer their questions during the judging. Seven incoming judges participated either on Saturday andor Sunday. Those judges were participated were Anthony J. DeMaula, Jr., R. Wayne Gurin, Marcia K.Hostetler, Margaret Mill Materna, Dorothy C. Poole, Joe C. Walton and Ruth Winston.These committee members participating felt the comments by the incoming judges were as beneficial to us as our input hopefully was them.I owe special thanks to Mary Vickers for furnishing us with a TV with VCR complete with Pom video. Jackie Liddle Stacy and Nadine Hersil for allowing Ch. Duffie to come out of retirement for use as one of our demonstration dogs. Also to Audrey Roberts for furnishing three puppies for the hands on. All of the committee members assisted with the exception of one who was unable to attend. Elizabeth Augspaugh from the AKC Judges Education Dept, is to be commended for her assistance with the planning, fliers, mailing labels, etc. The APC Hospitality room was available to those judges for refreshments during the break between judging which was appreciated since the line was so long to the restaurant. Last, but certainly not least, I thank the APC Board of Directors for allowing us to set up and hold this first Judges Study Group. I personally believe it is one of the best tools currently available to produce more knowledgeable judges.Janice Luginsland, Chairman Judges Study Group 1990 Natl. Spec.XApril 1990Pom Review Page 35City of Angels Pomeranian ClubBy Doreen Vander TuinAt our November 1989 meeting, we viewed a video tape of our October match. Interesting enough, the dogs were not the topic that took over the discussion, but handling techniques thoroughly picked apart. Examples of poor handling technique in some ways were more illustrative than those handlers who were doing everything right and made presenting a dog for judging look effortless. Actually, SEEING mishandling and how it can effect the overall impression the ringsiders and judge get of a dog being shown sure brings the message home to those of us watching.One thing for sure, all handlers both male and female should take care to bend the knees when reaching down to scoop up your Poms to put them on the table. Besides being better for your back then bending at the waist, you don't realize how BAD it looks from ringside with human rear ends sticking up, waving in the breeze Give the spectators a break and add some grace to the presentation of yourself and your dog in the ring by being aware how you move in the ring, as well as how your dog looks.Table etiquette seems to give most handlers the worst problems, just what to you with your hands when the judge is going over your dog Take some advice from the junior handlers When the judge goes to one end of the dog, you move to the other end. A hand on the rear of the inexperienced dog when the judge is going over the head is okay, as well as a reassuring hand on the chest when the judge is messing around with the rear. What looks most impressive is the handler that just stands quietly, hanging on to the lead, and lets the judges do their job with the minimum amount of interference. If your dog moves a foot as the judge is looking at the end in question, it seems alright to move an unobtrusive hand in and straighten things our if you can stay out of the judge's way. Quite a few judges in that situation will replace the foot themselves, which is probably the best thing to happen in that instance. A handler that is constantly messing around with the dog's feet and legs, or has a comb whipping in and out of the judge's field of vision, just seems to slow down the process and annoy the judge in some instances. Bottom line is it is better to table train the dog before you get in the ring and cut down on the wrestling matches in public.In December, we had our Holiday get-together with plenty of Pom talk and food, and then we got back down to business in January to plan out the new year. Plans are going forward for our next match on April 22,1990. The site has been reserved, a judge contacted and confirmed with the required paperwork sent to the AKC. Our capable newsletter editor, Connie Brown who is doing a bang- up job of keeping the membership informed of club doings has been handling some preliminary details that promise to make this match one worth attending for Pom exhibitors.For information regarding Pom activities in this area, please contact the City of Angles Corresponding Secretary Doreen Vander Tuin -1230 Plum Avenue - Simi Valley, VA 93065 - 805 522-7094.Bay Colony Pomeranian ClubBy Claire FlesnerBy the time you are reading this,we've already had our first match of the year.

Our biggest yet It was wonderful As usual, there were afew glitches but nothing too disasterous. It is not the fun the summer show is because of it being winter time, it must be held indoors. The Expo Center in Portland does not allow us to have food so there is not our usual pot luck that is so much fun. It does not make for a thrill when one must have Poms ready by 8svwvsesHOWOLSWWinners DogOverall, I felt the quality of dogs and bitches were pretty nice. Winners Dog was Apolloette Gone-A-Lot, bred and owned by Marlin and Marlene Presser. Winners Bitch was Ginleoaks Angel at Warlord's, owned by Ray Mooney and Jack Hookie and bred by Charles Hun- saker. Best of Breed was Ch. Harbin's Carrying on for Mom, bred by Irene Sylvia Harbin and owned by Sylvia. Best of Opposite for the second speciality in a row was Ch. Autumn's Cara Mia Monique, owned and bred by Emily Unta- lan.Our judge was Roland Adameck who is always a pleasant person to be around and Mary Dee Lindemaier did our sweepstakes. Not only is she a nice person, she is a pretty lady. She is the wife of one of the local photographers. Her choice for Best In Sweepstakes was Snuggle Pals ASutumn Mink, owned by Emily Untalan Joanne Blank, bred by Emily and Donna Pickles, by Ch.Cont. on page 37Columbia Spec.

I sincerely enjoyed my first assignment in the Toy ring. I must say I was delighted at the overall quality of the Pom puppies that were shown to me. Many, many people had commented to me on how poor the quality and movement was in this particular breed. I found them to be overall very sound on thedown and back and side movement was equally impressive.I had correct coats for the most part. Only one did not accommodate theStan- dard. Overall type and size was within the standard. I did see more poor bites that I had anticipated. Their sweet faces and small, at attention ears allowed me a smile and enjoyment with each individual I examined. I was disappointed to have one puppy that would not allow me the privilege of an examination.My best mover in the Sweeps was a light colored male. He was very sound and I gave him his class but in the end found him to be a bit larger than I liked.My Best in Sweeps was a very lovely, typey male that was also a good mover. He presented himself to his fullest potential. I think this boy will go places when he matures. My Best of Opposite bitch was also of lovely type and I must tell you, I was delighted to find after all the judging was completed that I was consistent.Mary Dee LindemaierifssrFanciersBy Victoria LovelyWe always seem to have so much news and so many club activities to tell about, that it's hard to know where to begin.Our NORDIC DOGS MATCH was held on January 28. The weather was something else. There were warnings from the highway patrol being aired on the radio telling people to stay home. I suppose it had something to do with the 35 miles per hour wind gusts with rain.Nevertheless, we had 49 entires including Chows, Malamutes, Huskys, Schipperkes, Norwegian Elkhounds and of course Pomeranians. Conformation judging was done by Joan Zielinski and Alicia Heggerston. Obedience and "Grand Turkey" by Linda Gallachcr. JuniorShowmanship by Blake Jones, and Sweepstakes by Tom Stephens.Let me stop fora minute and explain Cont. on page 38Page 38 April 1990Pom ReviewMt. Rainer NewsCont. from page 37'Turkey Awards". The idea was given to us by club member, George Reed. We give a black ribbon to those exhibitors who goof-up, or the puppies won't walk or spin around or have an "accident" in the ring. This gives each of the puppies or exhibitors another chance in the ring when they come back in for "Grand Turkey". It's really a lot of fun for both exhibitors and spectators.Anyway, Best of Breed Pom and Group 2 went to an adorable, very showy red-orange boy "Jestom's Lovely Toy Solder," owned and handled by Jessie Stephens. Best of Breed Pom Adult and Group 3 went to "Feisty's Rebels Razzel Dazzel," an attractive little black tan owned and handled by Rosemarie Schroeder. Two outstanding Schipperkes won Best Puppy and Best Adult in Match.There are a great deal of people who don't realize that Poms are "Nordic" or "Spitz" dogs. The nice display of dogs at our match with double coats, prick ears and tails curled over the back was a real eye-opener for many. I was interested to hear from a breeder that some Schipperkes are born with tails and some are not. She went on to say that if they are allowed to keep them, Schip tails do curl over their back.Our Annual Election and Christmas Dinner was held in December. New officers are President - Victoria Lovely Vice President Committee Chairperson - Blake Jones Treasurer - Cathie Rovetta-Brown and RecordingCorre- sponding Secretary - Wendy Feist, 6325 SE 73rd, Portland, OR 98206.I am very proud and pleased to say that as of our February meeting, the Mr. Rainier Pom Fanciers has 33 members We started with 4 members back in January '89 Thank you members Yoursupport is pricelessClub sweatshirts and t-shirts are available.

Have a great summerNorthwest News and ViewsBy Jane ReedWell, 1989 is behind us and for me it has been a great year I hope it has been as generous to all of you. I won't bore you with all the wins but I would like to share with you my views of the year's experiences. There are a lot of conflicts on the many levels of the dog show world. I'm sure exhibitors from other areas have their consternations as well.I would like to focus on the positive. We get enough of the negative - it has its purpose and I like to think of it as helpful to grow, but we need the kudo's also.Many times this last year, my Prince Charming son "Tex" took group placements. On these great occasions, we were cheered on and heartily supported by our other Pom exhibitors. I want to tell you how grateful I am for this support I would personally like to thank Tom Cont. on page 39April 1990Pom Review Page 39Northwest NewsCont. from page 38Carol Gillespie, Tom Jessie Stephens, Black Jones, Victoria Lovely, Jiggs Alicia Heggerston, Victor Wendy Feist, Ray Mooney and Jack Hookie. No one realizes achievements without the help of those about them and our year has been special due in part to the support of these people. Pom people do support each otherThere is another experience I would like to tell you all about. For the firs time in my life, I traveled to Alaska to show dogs of course. What a great time Not only does Alaska have beautiful scenery, beautiful and well bred Poms, but really nice Pom people I have never been treated better I was all alone and unfamiliar with the area but was soon put to ease by Alaskan hospitality. A special thanks goes out to Carolyn Turnage and Dixieanne Bennette for receiving me so cordiallyOne last note - I would like to congratulate the Mt. Rainier Pomeranian Fanciers on a very successful first year. The club puts out a very informative newsletter and has held 4 very successful matches in 1989. The tremendous growth in membership of this club speaks for the work and efforts of its members.The Ohio Valley Pom ClubBy Judy Shearer, SecretaryWhat a WEEKEND What a MATCH What a JUDGE What a group of super people and gorgeous puppiesThe OVPC Specialty Match held November 26, 1989 at the Holiday Inn Akron, Ohio will no doubt be the talk fo the fancy for some time to come.On Nov. 25 while match chairperson Bonnie Stetson was off to the airportto pick up Judge Lawrence Standbridge, co-chairperson Dona Megenhardt along with hubby and Ring Steward Rick Megenhardt met with Jim and I and daughter-in-law Kris at the Holiday Inn around 4 p.m. to set up. Others wandering in to help were members Bob and Fran Johns and Jim and Doris Wheeler.No sooner was the ring set up than tiny little balls of flu ff of all colors began appearing from all over for practice. Some of our exhibitors were delighted to leant they had no ring mats to get those babies used to as we showed on carpet.After much toting, sign hanging and room finding, we all adjourned to the Ballet Room to enjoy meeting Pom People and visiting with the old. Snacks, drinks and a good time were enjoyed by all. I have yet to decide who took the most pictures - Jim and I or Joe McGinnis.Sunday dawned a snow free day as Bonnie had promised everyone. On arriving at the match around 9 a.m., we found puppies till practicing. We assume they did leave the night before. Jim, along with grandson and junior member, Ron Shearer, unloaded all our dogs and gear and was off to help Donna with more toting. I did a lot of visiting, directing exhibitors to grooming rooms, and cuddling puppies my favorite job.At promptly 12 noon, our announcer Joe McGinnis, along with ring steward Rich Megenhardt, called the first class into the ring. At 430, Judge Standbridge announced his final winner.With 192 entries, 151 of those actually exhibited. We had exhibitors representing 19 sates, as well as 4 cities in Ontario, Canada.The results were as followsPuppy Dogs 2-4 monthsEntry 20 POM ACRES JESSE JAMES - Juanita FiddickPuppy Dogs 4-6 monthsEntry 21Cont. on page 40Page 40 April 1990Pom Review Ohio Valley Cont. from page 39JbBest Adult in MatchBest of Opposite SexTNT I'M A TEDDY TREVIE TOO - Dolores Stanger Marcia DoanePuppy Bitches 2-4Entry 23 RAZZLE DAZZLE RHAPSODY - Judy Green Chris HeartzPuppy Bitches 4-6 monthsEntry 16 FLUFFALO VE's ANGEL IN DISGUISE - Barbara McCrimmonBest Junior Puppy - POM ACRES JESSE JAMES - Juanita FiddickPuppy Dogs 6-9Entry 17WL BAD LANDS TERRITORY - Mark Carol BaldwinPuppy Dogs 9-12Entry 8CHIP AW AYS MOUNTAIN MAN Marlene Frank PenneyPuppy Bitches 6-9Entry 21SILVA LADE FANCY BRITCHES SuzanneG.

His good na- tured sense of humor put even the most novice of novices at ease. Dozens of letters received since the match confirmed this.Judge Standbridge's comments after the match "Overall, I found the quality of the entry to be quite satisfactory. From my point of view, the day was educational, rewarding and very enjoyable."Veterinarian in attendance, Dr. James Radcliffe, told some very amusing stories form his practice in West Virginia. Dr. Radcliffe is a very nice man with a terrific sense of humor. He also has that special knowledge that it takes to administer to our special loves, the Pom. He was constantly bombarded with questions and very patiently tried to answer them all. We have all been teasing Carol Galavich about her "special vet." But she just will not agree to let him move further northChairperson Bonnie Stetson then presented thank you gifts to her staff. Co-chairperson Donna Megenhardrt was presented with a beautiful life-like painting of Bonnie's P.J. Ch. GREAT ELMS PRIDE AND JOY in appreciation of he help with the match.Bonnie then drew the pre-entry prizes - early entry prizes by non OVPC members and early entry prizes by OVPC members. No one went away empty handed.This was followed by a delicious dinner for all exhibitors catered by Maxwell's restaurant, there in the Inn. No one went away hungry eitherTo top off a fabulous dinner and weekend, a group of young people called ETC a performing show choir from Akron, performed beautifully for the attendees. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all.From our match chairperson, Bonnie Stetson, this message'We believe this match was a great success. It could not have been done without the help of all our members. Donna and I are very grateful for the support we have received, not only from our own club, but from Pom Clubs all over the United States.I am particularly pleased with the good sportsmanship and support I saw displayed at this match. It has reaffirmed my belief that Pom peopl e are some of the nicest people around the show ring."We of the OVPC would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for all your cards and letters regarding the match and to all those 151 exhibitors - THANKS - for making it happenPomeranian Club of Michigan Detr oit AreaBy Evelyn ConleyThe Pomeranian Club of Michigan, Inc., held its second annual Specialty Show on November 25,1989.Starting our show at 1245 p.m. was Sweepstakes judge Mrs. Anna Park with a total of 12 entries.

Emily Untalan has a new baby bred by Emily and Donna Pickles out of Ch. Wharton's Seppl Von Honig that went Winners Dog at our first show of the New Year and Richard Lackey has a dog up here with our new California transplant, Anna LaFortune and he won the breed and Gr. I at the same show. Winners Bitch at this show as BiMar Foxfire owned bred by Mary Rosenbaum. The next day, Winners Dog was Jambo's Royal Rascal owned by Nora Higbee and bred by Shirley Bradley. Both got nice 5 pointers out of these shows. Winners Bitch was owned and bred by E.C. and Emily Untalan.Our January 1990 Specialty will be history before you read this and I will include the judges comments elsewhere.Big majors in our next four local shows. Three majors won by Jack Hookie and Ray Mooney's bitch Angel. Two majors on a homebred by Rom Carol Gillespie. Emily and Louie Untalan finished a bitch with her 4th major, as well as a BOS. Mary Rosenbaum got a couple of BOS' with a new championbred by her. Janet Hovey went home with a major on a nice black she owns. Best of Breed was shared by Sylvia Harbin, Richard Lackey, and all the owners of Tim Sue's Distant Lights. Also a few group placements but no group I's.There is an error in the ad for the Columbia Pomeranian Club's page ad, advertising the beginning of our first Futurity. The date is July 13,1990 instead of July 20. Be sure and put this in your memory banks. The Futurity should be fun and certainly different than anything offered before in Poms. Also there was an error in my last Webfoot Report and I sure would appreciate it being fixed even though our January Specialty is over. Some words were left out of it making it appear that our show secretary, Averil Asbeck, was judge. Such is not the case. Mr. Roland Adameck was our judge. And the original article states that.Across CanadaBy Chris HeartzFreshly back today from the American Pomeranian Club Specialty. Two sleepless nights and a day and a half of Pom Talk Living in a place like Nova Scotia, you learn to 'live" for events like this. It's a wonderful chance to renew old acquaintances, meet new friends, learn and watch the greatest array of Poms in North America. I would highly recommend everyone attend National Specialties when ever possible. They are our breeds' showcase. Not only is it a wonderful experience, but it's a great way to get a fresh focus on your own breeding program. I find myself going home to plan litters, for better puppies,for next year's Specialty. Canadians attending this year's American Specialty were the "regulars" Natalie Dunfee, Frankie and Mickie McDonald, Reg and Elizabeth Dupuis, and myself. While noncofusdidCont. on page 47Across CanadaCont. from page anything spectacular this year, we did come home with a few class placements. The "highlight" for me came at the Awards banquet when Can. Am. Ch. Chriscendo City Lights was named Top Producing Pom Sire in the U.S. for 1989, tied with Ch. Great Elms Prince Charming. It makes me very proud as a Canadian that we are making a valuable contribution to the breed. So much depends on where each and every puppy is placed. The best show dog in the world is wasted unless he is shown, and the best producer in the world is wasted if he is never used. Congratulations to all the owners who finished dogs last year, to make this very special award possible, and my personal thanks to Sue Goddard, Breeder of the Year,who I co-own City Lights with for her hard work and dedication.And speaking of awards,the Top Five Poms in Canada for the first half of 89 are as followsCh.Chriscendo Cause For Applause owner J.ObuckCh.

We hope that some of our U.S. friends will be joining us. See you thereHelpful HintsBy Margaret R. McKeeAs I write this, the national specialty is a few days away. Specialties are so exciting, so much fun. Even if you don't have a dog ready to show, do make an effort to attend the next specialty near you. You can learn so much, meet lots of wonderful people and a few weirdos and have a qreat time. Here in the mid-Atlantic states, we're very excited that the Pomeranian Club of Greater Baltimore has been granted a license by AKC to hold our first Specialty. It will be the day before the APC summer specialty. What makes Baltimore's show unique is that it will be the first time an independent specialty has offered obedience classes You don't wantto miss that. Mary Vickers has been working diligently for years to get AKC approval for obedience classes for APC, but we're still waiting.Pretty soon, you'll be gearing up for flea season. You know you must treat house and yard as well as dogs. But don't forget to spray or bomb your car, van, or motor home. Those critters can be lurking anywhere the dog has been.I got a letter from a fellow trainer. Her dog is doing well in novice training, but she lags. The following is my answer to her.

Are you going to halt or turn She wants to be prepared. She wants to please, and this is her way of trying to do what you want. So punishment is really counter-productive. I'm convinced that the best way to teach a dog not to lag is the Koehler method jerk, jerk, jerk.Let's start over. Use your buckle collar and a loose leash.".There were specific problems in my correspondent's letter that made me suggest a loose lead. Normally in this situation, I would suggest no slack, a solid lead, or a binding technique in order to insure that the dog worked in heel position. "If you can, you might want to tie the leash to your waist to free up both hands. Put your food in your right hand. Use your left to point out the focal point on your left leg. I do not require that they look into my face while heeling looking at my left leg is good enough for me. Now, let's make it fun I'll bet your dog didn't lag in the conformation ring. Think back in the breed ring, you did few turns, no fast or slow, no sits.Start off fairly slow, go only three steps, release and praise exuberantly. No halt or sit. Gradually increase speed and number of steps, always ending with release and praise. As she gets the idea, and is happy about it we're trying to rebuild her confidence begin heeling in.large left circles dog on inside. Once you're sure she understands what "heel" means, you may want to add Diane's Bauman correction for lagginggently reach out, take hold of collar or fur and bring her up to heel position, point to your leg, praise I'vePage 50 April 1990Pom Reviewused this correction on Val, a very soft dog, but rarely. Knoing I'm capable of such a correction, he responds quickly to voice and the pointing finger.Before you consider adding turns or halts to your heeling, work by yourself i.e. without the dog on footwork and body cues. It is your job to warn your partner what you are going to do. If possible, get an experienced trainer to watch you, or betteryet videotape you, to see if you are giving clear, consistent cues to your dog."After I mailed that letter, I attended an obedience seminar conducted by Brian McGovern. Brian is a Briton who lives in the Netherlands. He puts a lot of emphasis on stylethe dog must work with both attention and enthusiasm. A few brief pointers gleaned from this seminar1. Don't try to work on style and precision at the same time. When you work on precision perfect heel position, perfect fronts work slowly.2. When working on style, add lots of enthusiasm and game-playing. Don't worry about precision. "Games" while heeling include a quick pat on the nose, ear scratching, shoving the dog's head down.3. He uses lots of tiny toys on the leash while saying "Good boy, clever bo\' Because the tugs are associated with happy talk, the dog doesn't resent the leash when it is used for correction.4. A trap a lot of people fall into is practicing or working doing an exercise as it is done in the ring too much instead of continuing to train.5. His description of competition in Europe was fascinating. Heeling can last for 8 minutes and include 20 or 30 turns in advanced classes. There is no jumping. Almost all the dogs which compete are Border Collies and shepherds. I don't want to trade However, the idea of having the steward call commands makesCont. on page 51April 1990Pom Review Page 51Helpful HintsCont. from page 50 wonderful sense.There is a difference between a breeder and a Breeder. The former is the owner of a bitch who has puppies. Rationalizations about "sex education for the kids" or "fulfillment for the bitch" not-withstanding, he is motivated mainly by money. He doesn't know much about genetics nor does he study pedigrees. Choice of a stud is probably dictated by proximity. He may give the puppies shots and have them wormed. They are sold as soon as they are weaned. And once they are gone, he doesn't worry about what's happening to them.A Breeder is a more conscientious and responsible individual. He breeds only if he plans to keep a pup, and is sure he can sell the others. He is hoping to improve the breed or at least improve on what he has. He wants to produce gorgeous, healthy pups that will make superior pets. He thoughfully plans the mating, and selects a stud based on his pedigree, his phenotype, and his progeny. The puppies are supervised, innoculated, and wormed. Prospective owners are care-fully screenedare there young chidren, is the yard fenced, are there other animals His sales contract includes a health guarantee.A story I heard in January may illustrate the difference. A woman contacted a breeder several states away about purchasing a pet puppy. An agreement was reached. The seller either failed to find out or didn't care that the buyer has a 4 year old child. The buyer mailed a check.Before the puppy could be shipped, the buyer went to visit a local woman who operates a pet-sitting service and took her young daughter with her. The pet-sitter is also a Pom Breeder. It quickly became apparent to her that, because of the child, this was not an appropriate home for a Pomeranian puppy. She convinced the buyer that the Pom would not be safe with the child. The buyer called the seller and tried to cancel the sale. The seller adamantly refused, and put the puppyon a plane The pup is now with the pet sitter while a better home is sought. The buyer will probably take a financial loss on any sale. And the breeder cashes the check and doesn't give the puppy another thought.How much thought do you give to naming your puppies There are two names to beselected theregistered name and the call name. AKC has some regulations governing the naming of dogs. Unfortunately, these are not well publicized. They are included in a booklet titled "AKC Policies and Guidelines for Registration Matters", available from AKC, 51 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10010.1 assume it is free.1. The right to choose the name of the puppy belongs to the person registering the dog. Breeders who fill in the name on the blue slip are violating AKC policy, but I don't think there's much anyone can do about it, If you want to name the pup before you sell it, you pay the 6 and register the puppy.2. Names are limited to 25 letters. Spaces, hyphens, and apostrophes are not counted.3. You must use the standard English alphabet. While you may use hyphens and apostrophes, you may not use symbols like ,, or periods or commas or diacritical marks such as accent grave or unlaut.4. Kennel names are protected by AKC only if they are registered and are used as a prefix. Idlewyld is not registered there is nothing I can do if someone chooses to use it. Great Elms is a registered kennel name. You may use it as a prefix for your dog's name only if Ruth Beam gives you permission in writing. However, there is nothing to stop you Cont. on page 52Page 52 April 1990Pom ReviewHelpful HintsCont. from page 51from putting it in the middle or at the end of your dog's name, even if your dog isn't even remotely related the the Great Elms dogs. Nothing except ethics, that is. This sort of abuse goes on all the time.5. Do not use arabic numerals anywhere in the name. If you want to have a number, you'll either have to spell it out or use roman numerals. Roman numerals may not be used at the end of the name. "AKC reserves the right to assign roman numerals for identification purposes. AKC permits thirty-seven 37 dogs of each breed to be assigned the same name." Thus we can have Poms named Fluffy XXI, Fluffy XXII and so on.Incidentally, if you've seen a blue slip lately, you may have noticed 2 changes. You no longer put down a second choice of name. If the first meets all other guidelines, they'll just tack a number on. The second change is the elimination of "other" as a color choice. This is to keep people from getting creative and putting down colors that aren't in the standard, such as "oatmeal","sandy", or "alabaster".All of the following are forbidden6. Use of any unearned AKC titles or words like champ, champion, or sieger.7. Obscenities or terms that are derogatory to any race, creed, or.nationality. Several naughty names have gone through, thanks to.creative spelling.8. The words kennel, dog, male, stud, sire, bitch, dam, or female.9. Breed names alone.10. "Names of prominent people living or recently deceased." Now that's a surprise So how did Liz Taylor, Goldie Hawn, and Calvin Klein get through11. You may have been told that you can't use the name of a commercial product such as Pepsi or Chrysler. This "rule"is not in AKC's booklet.When choosing a registered name, try to pick something memorable and pro- nouncable. Foreign phrases make that more difficult. Try to avoid trite and cutesy. Pom people have overdone 'Tittle", "tiny", and "wee". It seems to me to "little" in a Pom's name is redundant. Creativity and originaltiy are welcome. One of my favorite Pom names is "Spinach Fitz", a delightful play on the breed name Finnish Spitz.Call names should be brief, one or two syllables. It should not be similar to any household or obedience command. To test out a call.name, I imagine myself using it for the recall in the obedience ring.PresentingThe Pomeranian 1990-1991 Stud DogBrood Bitch DirectoryPresented By The Mt.

For that matter, it could easily could have been Mex-Tex, as Peter was born in Mexico and Ron was born in the Texas Panhandle In any case, this family of Pomeranians, which now boasts quite a few impressive credentials, had a very humble beginning in 1966 for the two young men - Ron was 24 and Peter a mere 18.While visiting a long time friend in Lubbock, Texas at the Kennels of Edi- rene, they learned that Ed and Irene Vaughn were in the process of retiring. They could keep only a limited number of dogs in the city and were faced with reducing their stock. Peter fell in love with a bright-eyed, ten-year-old bitch named Miss Fancy Pants of Edirene who was sleeping under a chair. This was Peter's first time to see a Pom and twenty all at once, no less The Vaughn's were happy to place her with the boys as this also relieved them of having to euthanize a loving pet who had shown at Westminster. "Was this in England" Peter asked, much to Ed and Irene's chuckles.Back home in El Paso, Fancy Pants became the darling of the neighborhood and rejuvenated with loving care and attention, especially that of Louie Woo, the mail carrier, who to this day delivers the mail at Pedrons. Fancy Pants lived seven years with the boys and died peacefully one sunny spring day on the front porch waiting for Louie's affections.Although Fancy Pants was ample fulfillment, Peter and Ron also yearned for a bouncy fur-ball of a puppy and not finding one for sale locally, they were faced with breeding their own. Recognizing that the boys were hooked on Poms, the Vaughns shared their years of experience, along with their champions and breeding stock. With this came two broods, Samantha and Spicette, as well as a show male with both majors, was to have a dim future because of what was developing in Texasthe Duke and The Duke-Look. The delightful fur-ball puppies started to arrive, but, they seemed like last year's fashions. The boys knew immediately that changes had to be instituted but how Front view of Pedons "dog house" in midwinter.Ron felt that even a plain-jane wearing last year's frock should have a go-at- it, so he joined the local kennel club to attend the training classes. This led to their very first dog shows in Midland, Texas to exhibit under a very austere Bill Field and an even more austere Dorothy Nickles The boys never imagined that their first dog show judges would eventually become dear friends to this day. Their dog was certainly out-classed by Jeribeth's Doodle Bug and Williams Lucious Teddy, the latter to be theirs in the future. The good from this first experience was that they realized and acknowledged the fact. This was the seed that made them so determined to have a winning show dog. This was the time when Duke's get were hard to beat, this was the time the look was changing, for the better, the boys add.Cont. on page 59April 1990Pom Review Page 59PEDRONS PomsCont. from page 58At this time the only Pomeranian champion in El Paso was Col. Brandenburg's Ch. Williams Stonewall Pepper, who had come from the Williams Kennel in Phoenix, Az. Tom and Hattie Williams, a retired couple then in their seventies, bred extensively for the show ring. They, too, welcomed these novices and shared their years of experience, their quality breeding stock, and their imprint on the boys runs deep. When the Williamses retired from active breeding, Peter and Ron acquired all their champions and broods. The addiction was complete. The Pomeranians had become an avocation.Ron with an arm-full of Tank sons who will start their show careers in 1990.Although they had the champions and the breeding stock, the end results were not producing the Texas-type dogs that were winning groups. Peter and Ron started a revitalization program to enhance the good stock on hand that was wearing tired and thin. By shipping only a few broods to certain key studs, homebred champions began to be realized. There were three key studs Ch. Millamor's Mark of Dixieland, Ch. Jeribeth's Dragon Killer, and Major Dink of Sunray. Joy and Art Davison were quite instrumental in helping the boys channel the best of the genes to achieve the type of Pom they wanted.Joy and Art generously loaned Ch. Jeribeth's Dragon Killer to Pedrons for nine months during which time he bredaRon holding Tank and his two full brothers from a subsequent litter.every conceivable bitch on the place. In fact, they still have two very, very old Killer offspring Ch. Pedrons Dragon Charmer and Pedrons Dragon Deuce, sire of their multiple group winner Ch. Pedrons Mark of the Dragon and their multiple Best in Show winner, Ch. Pedrons Dragon the Conqueror, aka TANK. Peter and Ron came to know virtually every dog in their pedigrees and learned what to capitalize upon and what combinations to avoid.By 1978, the Pedrons line was firmly established, and to honor the legendary DUKE, from where the potent genes flowed, they began using the DRAGON motif in their dogs' names. Needless to say, meeting Duke and his owners Darrell and Olga Baker in 1970 in their home in Eeer Park, made a lasting impression on the newcomers.Over the years the canine residents of Pedrons, champions or not, have left their prints in one form or another little quirks here, unique mannerisms there, pleasing andor annoying habits everywhere, great expectations but unworthy results or vise-versa but in its entirety, the endeavor of breeding quality at Pedrons has been more than a mere ful- Cont. on page 60Page 60 April 1990Pom ReviewPEDRONS PomsCont. from page 59Some of Pedrons distinguished awards and certificates and some of their Pom art collection.fillment of a pleasurable hobby it has become an integral, inseparable part of two individuals' past, present and future lives.Both fond and sad memories come to mind as Peter and Ron called out the names of so many kids gone-by and some of their current VIP's Ch.

PEDRONS DRAGON THE CONQUEROR, better known as Tank, was born a beautiful puppy on September 6,1986. Peter and Ron still "adrenalize" when re-telling the whelping. He was either going to be beautiful as they sensed or he was going to very undesirable as they had not whelped anything like him before and they were not disappointed with Tank's development, as the former turned out to be the case. The puppy was "cantankerous," thus the name Tank. Peter has shown Tank on a limited basis in 32 all-breed shows and in 7 specialities. As such, his record to date is 2 Best in Show All-Breeds, 1 Best in Show Speciality, 12 Group First, 7 Group Seconds, 4 Group Thirds, 2 Group Fourths, 1 Best Puppy in Sweepstakes, and 2 Awards of Merit at the APC Specialty in New York.

This is especially effective as they grow accustomed to car noises, people walking by, and of course, Louie, the venerable, dog- loving mail carrier. In fact, when thereCont. on page 61April 1990Pom Review Page 61PEDRONS PomsCont. from page 60are no dogs on the porch, Louie will knock at the door as to ask why not The puppies' tenure on the porch is also when they begin their lead training. Ron, a school teacher, starts training classes in front of the house and gives each puppy a daily grade how they do on the pavement, how they do on the sidewalks with obstacles to cross, and how they do on grass. At about six months, young pups join the adult dogs in an adjacent run off the back porch, but they do not actually co-mingle until they are mature. The adults have individual feeding and sleeping pens in the dry basement, which is cool in the summer and warm in the winter.The doggies chores at Pedrons are a joint effort. One thing, however, Peter does not do "bottoms." Dirty bottoms fall to Ron each afternoon when he gets home from work. If there is a need to tidy-up dirty rears, Peter will have already affixed a list on the refrigerator of those needing that service this is the only time Peter doesn't own any dogsAs to their views on dogs, dog show judges, dog shows, dog people, and what is on the horizon for their dogs, they haveA disarray of the Pedrons girls and their one Affenpinscher pet, Dolly.very definite opinionsPeter and Ron believe that a Pom as an entity is like "personality," subject tomA "squeezed" view of the basement compartments for the adults.change because of many variables. The basics, of course, are there in the written standard however, semantics and the way in which each individual interprets beauty or perfection don't necessarily go hand in hand. They feel that this is the binding force toward individuality as breeders, and that only the breeders can be the architects of the breed standard and the choreographers of its implementation.Variety It is what they perceive is good about dog show judges. The human factor is wonderful. Ron, the literature teacher, likens the judging of dogs to the interpreting of a literary work of art properly presented by its creator. Literary criticism also has its written guidelines, and he adds that it is also human nature that some of us do not have that latitude to judge and can work only in a "right-wrong" format. Fortunately, they feel that these self-appointed guardians of the breed are, mercifully, in the minority who will neither make nor affect a lasting impression on the breed mediocrity under the guise of arrogance cannot be improved.As for dog shows, they are emphatic that each exhibitor is responsible for what dog shows will come to that individual attitude dictates the degrees of enjoyment or displeasure. One shouldCont. on page 62Page 62 April 1990Pom ReviewPEDRONS PomsCont. from page 61 not go to a show expecting instant gratification. The rewards, as Peter and Ron always advice new-comers, come after one makes a sincere and pursuant effort to learn as much as possible about the breed they tell novices to pick a type that pleases them, study those pertinent pedigrees, to set their sights on a definite breeding program, strictly adhering to it with modifications only when the need arises.Peter and Ron enjoy dog people. They see dog people as being like anyone else, but with a different hobby. If you nurture friendship, that will be the result. Dog people are competitive as they should be, dog people take pride as theyshould. For Pedrons, some of the best, most memorable and fun times have been spent with those "gone to the dawgs"Sadly, in a way, some of the sweet, smiling faces at Pedrons are getting quite old and may seem old-fashioned to some, but Peter and Ron are becoming "oldies-but-goodies" too. Pedrons has a good start on the horizon for the 90's with several fine pups that will continue and enhance its lines of "sweet faces that smile."PEDRONS Poms Peter J.

There are many such Poms in this country and it should always be remembered that a study of the pedgree is of highest value in picking the most suitable stud for each particular female. It is fooolish to select a stud dog ONLY onthebasisofhisshow wins or because he is conveniently located next door.The July issue of Pom Review each year is considered to be the Stud Issue. This issue will be a valuable information and pictorial resource for the whole country, the whole year, and maybe, for many to come. Deadline for the Stud Issue is May 15,1990.The cost of entering your dog in the Stud Dog Register is 10 for each entry, plus the cost of the photo also 10. Dogs may be entered without photos, if none is available, and a description of the dog may be inserted in the space intended for the photograph. Color will reproduce very well Polaroids are not acceptable. The best photo for reproduction is a black and white glossy. Description beneath the photo is limited to twenty words. Please send copies of pedigrees that do not need to be returned. The dog's color is also very important in the description. The Stud Dog Register will of course, be presented just as it always has, but don't hesitate to submit full and half page ads featuring your studs.Pom Review is proud to pay honor to the two Top Studs for 1989, both having produced seven champions. Ch. Great Elms Prince Charming II Skip Piazza Olga Baker, owners Ruth Beam, breeder and Ch. Chriscendo City Lights Sue Tim Goddard Chris Heartz, owners Chris Heartz, breeder share the spotlight as the top studs of 1989.Usually, this is done with the use of stud cards. But since no photo or pedigree were provided for use in such a format, we'll just extend our hearty CONGRATULATIONS to the owners and breeders.Pom ReviewApril 1990 Page 65rck nof d DJi Pom DaA jl ^ TV.

The Baltimore Pomeranian Club HAS BEEN APPROVED by the American Kennel Club to hold a licensed Obedience Trial in conjunction with their Speciality this summer. Write in Thursday, July 5,1990 on your calendar and plan to attend. The Trial Chairman is Margaret McKee Helpful Hints columnist. Write to her for information. The APC specialty is scheduled I believe for Friday, July 6 and will have conformation only. If you want to be a part of this first time ever in the United States AKC Sanctioned Pomeranian Obedience Specialty, start saving your pennies now and put in for your vacation time. It should be a great timeFLASH - The obedience members of the Pom Club of Baltimore will host "Site, Stay Talk" beginning at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 4 in the Hospitality Room at the Holiday Inn, Timonium, Maryland. Come tell us about your Poms. Get suggestions on training. Meet Pom obedience people...Mary Vickers, APC Obedience ChairNow for the old news. The remainder of this column was supposed to have been run in the January issue. It was both mailed as hard copy and sent to the former editor on diskette compatible with her computer. But due to the oversight on her part, it wasn't included in the magazine. She forgot to transfer the file from WordPerfect to Pagemaker and never missed the column when proofing her work. I apologize for her as it made for somewhat less of an Obedience issue than it should have been. It's my hope this will not happen with the new editor.We open with some really marvelous news. APC member Rosalind Goltzis really cooking. As you may remember, she finished the first and only ChampionUtility Dog combination on a Pomeranian with Ch. Emcee's Solid Gold O'Jabil UD breeder Morris and Betty Carson last October. She's done it again. Ch. Penru's Sugar Plum Fairy CDX breeder Rosiland Goltz and Jessie Young out of Ch. Jabil's Pinto Hi-Tone CD x Penru PrimaBallerina O'Jabil CDX finished her Utility Dog Title this October. To top that, she had already finished her Canadian UD in August and was the top obedience Pom in Canada for 1988. Sugar Plum is now the first and only Champion Pom with a UD in two countries. Not content with that, Roz left October 30 for Bermuda to attend a five show circuit to try for their Bermuda UD. She reports they did earn two legs toward that elusive UD with two first placements. She'll have to go back again for that third leg. Some people try to tell us that a good quality Pom can't do obedience, tracking, flyball, etc. It's people like Roz who dispell this myth. Roz, we're all so proud of you, Morris and Sugar Plum Keep up the outstanding work.Just a thought, but has the APC ever considered recognizing the breeder producing the most obedience titled Poms or the highest level obedience titles in a year or maybe in a decade How about something for breeders producing the dual titled Championship and Obedience Pom Let me know what you think or if you have any other ideas along this line. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have even more breeders interested in what we do in obedience and willing to sell us the sound, healthy dogs needed for participation both in the breed ring and the obedience ringCont. on page 78Obedience NewsCont. from page 77MORE UTILITY DOGSLast issue I reported on Linda Gallagher's new UD on Sunswept Hot Fudge Sundae CDX breeder Betty Jo Mason. Now I have the scores and dates. Their first leg was March 12 with a 184.5 at Timberland Valley Dog Fanciers Assoc. following June 14 and 18 with a 186.0 at Snake River Canyon KC of Idaho and a178.5 and 3rd place at Pocatello KC. I'm just so proud of the both of them. Sometimes maybe most of the time when you're working for a UD you reach a barrier after CDX work. Maybe the dog burns out, maybe you do. But almost everyone finds Utility extremely difficult and I feel it takes like a lifetime to earn, if it's ever achieved. Many, many people give up. Linda and Sundae had their share of problems and heartaches. Congratulations, Linda, on sticking it out and being persistent. This one doesn't come easily, so it holds the greatest satisfaction for most of us. Some of the rest of us have either been there or are still stuck and we all salute you, Linda.Speaking of persistent and stuck Mary Vickers and Annon's Huggy Bear From Scamp CDX, Can. CD breeder Ann Cannon have been working on Utility now for a long while, too. She and I have shared many a cry on being stuck he won't do it What am I doing wrong What's wrong with his nose, dam those jumps anyway, etc. Mary just phoned to tell me "HUGGY GOT HIS FIRST UD LEG YESTERDAY" Or words to that effect. The message was delivered in something between a squeal and a scream. Talk about solid gold It came 11589. His performance was sparkling, so much so that he barked with joy throughout all the exercises. Guess who didn't care As he did his secondPage 78 April 1990Pom Reviewgo-out and approached the bar jump my Gosh, he's going to do it he cleared the jump with about 10" to spare and came in directly to heel position, losing more bunches of points after all that barking for a no front. As the judge was shaking his head, feeling sorry for not getting that front. Mary is just about screaming to herself "SAY EXERCISE FINISHED" I understand everyone near the ring just exploded when the judge finally released them. Mary's reaction to the barking and no front was, "I don't care We got a leg" Congratulations Mary seems so small, but good luck getting those next two legs quickly.A new UD title also goes to Eleanor and Charley Hamilton on Shawn of Brockton, CDX breeder MerleSloughter. They finished this year. I think I'm missing a leg, but I have a 191.5 earned April 2,1988 at Kanadasaga KC, a 183.0 June 30 of this year and 3rd place at Susque-Nango KC, and a 186.0 July 1 at Chenango Valley KC. Obviously, they're people who've stuck it out, tooMary Morse and Miss Chief Suzy Morse UD breeder Gertrude Wolczewski, after recently finishing their UD, are still out there showing. I've recorded two scores, Junel0andll,al91 and a 192 at Milwaukee DTC and K-9 OTC of Menominee Falls. Maybe we're trying for the next Pom OTCHNEW CDX TITLESOnce again, Linda Gallacher is in therewith another new title. Lady Di's Life of the Parti CD breeder Nancy Turner and Diane Clark-Bryant have finished their CDX. Last issue I reported a 196.0 and 1st place and a 197.0 and 1st place. They went on to finish with a 195.0 and 3rd Place at Spokane KC under H.C. Jahelka a 191.0 and 3rd place at Inland Empire Kennel Assoc. and a 192.5.and Cont. on page 79April 1990Pom Review Page 79Obedience NewsCont. from page 783rd place at Spokane Dog Training Club. Nice going, Linda And to think she was doing Utility at the same time with Sundae. This is a Dog World Award if these were her first three shows. How about it, LindaColleen Bennett and Silver Meadows Mr Munchkin, CD breeder Jacquelyn Klein, sired by Ch. Silver Meadows Starmister have also earned a new CDX. They went out the month of June to earn a 190.0 and 3rd place at North Country Kennel Club a 187.0 at Syracuse OTC and a 195.0 and 2nd place at Susque- Nango KC under R.J. Ambrosio. Another very nice job.In earlier columns I've mentioned Judy Bach and Niks Lil Crash of Angel Dust, CDX breeder Randy Nelson. Marian Lazzara wrote me about this duo and I had the marvelous opportunity to meet them during the Memorial Day Weekend Circuit in Kalamazoo, Michigan this year. A nicer young person you'd never hope to meet nor a more supportive mother than hers. Unfortunately, I did not have the chance to see them in the ring, but we visited and had a very nice time.I hope to let Judy write a little something about Nik because they have a very interesting story. Anyway, after six shows in Open A to earn their title they were carrying a 195.08 average. Keeping on with the tradition, they also got a 196.0 and 4th place, a 197.5 and 1st place at Fox Valley DTC under Ms. L. Fitzgerald and a 195.5 under W.A. Oxandale. Memorial weekend in Open B they earned a 195.5 under John Blenkey who's known to be a very tough judge. Judy, keep up the good work. We hope to see you in the Utility ring in a year or so.Just about two years ago I reported that Trish Barry put a CD on Mister Felix T Cat breeder Ed and Jessica Stark. They've now gone out and in a week's time earned their CDX. In May they received a 191.0 and 4th Place at Rio Grande ODC, 189.0 at Sandia DOC, and a 193.0 and 1st place at Chaparral KC. I'm keeping an eye out for her because I noticed that she put a UDT on a Toy Poodle in 1987. Maybe she's planning some tracking for her Pom next.Elma Maines, who finished a CD on Gold Dust Pandy Maines CD breeder Louise Forrester in June of 1988 is working on a CDX this year. So far they've got a 186.5 and 2nd Place at Shasta KC on the 16th and a 191.0 and 1st Place at Two Cities KC on the 18th. Nice jobNEW CD TITLES FROM NOVICE BAPC member Lois Morkassel has been rather busy herself during 1988. After putting a CD on Kassels Gardean Sir Pant, CD breeder owner, by Ch. Thelduns John John x Kassel's Dandelion Down, CD in April, 1988, she's put another CD on another dog I assume is a littermate. Kassels Gardean Sir Tifikat same breeder,sire and dam as above went out to earn their CD on one weekend. July 14th saw them earn a 188.0 at Iron Range DTC, the 15th brought a 180.0 at Twin Ports DTC, the 16th tired yet saw a 174.5 at Duluth KC. Good work, LoisMargaretta Patton got a CD on Desiree's Spice of Life breeder Desaree Sandifer. They earned a 181.0 at Charlotte DTC, a 184.5 at Greater Columbia Obedience Club and a 180.0 at Palmetto OTC between March and June.Tamara Patty also finished a CD on Ambcrlite Ashcly Dancer breeder JoyceCont. on page 80Obedience NewsCont. from page 79Haire Bowles. In April they earned a 180.0 at Orlando DTC and a 181.5 at Imperial Polk Obedience Club of Lakeland, Florida. Their last score in August has not yet been published.Ann Davis has done really well with One Little Tough Kid breeder Dawna Jones. They started a little slow with a 193.0 and 3rd place at Kanawha OTC in West Virginia a 188.0 at Mount Pleasant, MI KC, then picked up a 196.5 and 1st place at Grand Traverse KC under Jim Ham to finish their CD. Next they got a196.5 and 2nd place at Mountaineer KC under K.M. Naglerback in West Virginia a 194.0 at Huntington KC and a196.5 and 3rd place at Magic Valley KC under R.E. Murphy. Nice job, indeedJanet Feldmann and Patricia Foley also put a CD on Dover-Holihouse Le- Roy Brown breeders Pat Foley and Kathryn Hartz sired by Ch. Pombreden's Heavenly Toy Boy. They got a 182.0 at Princeton DTC, a 183.0 at Bayshore Companion Dog Club, a 188.5 at Philadelphia DTC and a 186.0 at Trenton KC.Gerald and Beverly Keller were successful with Holly Snowflake breeder Richard Edwards. They started out in Novice A with a 177.0 in 1987, then finished in Novice B with a 183.5 at Beaver Valley Training Club and a 182.5 at Golden Triangle OTC May 6 and 7.NEW CD TITLES FROM NOVICE AFrom Novice A we begin with Robin Weiss and Snuggle-Up Zackery breeder Mrs. William Urban.

All these trials were in New York.Sandra and Devery Davis earned a CD with Ch. Devery's Diamond Josh breeders owner, sired by C. Millbrook's El Gran Caballero. They posted a 187.0 at Pocatello KC a 186.5 at Eagle Rock KC, and a 190.0 and 2nd place at Snake River Canyon KC of Idaho. They had the chance to see Linda Gallacher at Snake River earn that precious Utility leg. I hope they were watching and learning.Our last CD is by Jean Furgiuele on Red Feather Fritzy breeders Kermit and Darlene Henningsen. They've posted a185.5 at Beaver Valley Training Club, a 187.0 at Golden Triangle OTC, and a179.5 at Kittanning KC, all in Pennsylvania.I'm sorry to report that Spunky did Cont. on page 81April 1990Pom Review Page 81Obedience NewsCont. from page 80not earn his American TDX this year. We've been working really hard all year and made wonderful progress. Right after learning he had been drawn and was in a TDX test, the weather here turned very dry. The vegetation became very dry and difficult to hold a scent. He would have some problems tracking on a 30 minute track, and was very unsure and confused on a three hour old track. As luck would have it we drew a field of newly mown hay with very little greenery in it after two weeks of beautiful, 70 degree, dry weather. He started out ok but went the wrong way on the first turn and failed. In that test 9 out of the 10 dogs entered failed, most of the handlers lamenting the dry weather, so it turns out our problem was the same experienced by everyone else. But we won't give up I hope to find a test this spring with suitable grounds to give it a try again. However, this means we'll have to keepworking all winter. UGGGGGGHHHI do have one bit of good news. My terrific twosome, BK's Sunshine Supergirl AMCanUKC CD, TT breeder Ericka Moureau and BK's Sir Spunky, CDXTD, Can.

At the risk of sticking my neck out, I'd like to address this issue. I'd like to ask Isn't dog showing supposed to be a sport - not life and death. And, aren't rules made to be broken - or at least changed from time to timePersonally, I think Pomeranians are much more beautiful trimmed and whether or not anyone else will admitCH IDLEWYLD MARQUIS CUT DIAMOND, CD Orange MaleBreeder Margaret McKee Owners Bill Ferrara, John Price Margaret McKeeMay Morning Social Lion Ch.

Idlewyld Gemstone, CDXGolden Tiara Dam Beastie, CDX Idewyld Hope Diamond, CD Ch. Julies Star Vega Ch. Idelwyld Star Pendant, CD May Morning Small Talk, CDagreeing with me, it's quite obvious that almost everybody does agree, because almost everybody trims Otherwise, it would not be such a big issueTrimming does not change the look of the Pom to such an extent that one could "cheat" by trimming. A good groomer only enhances what is already there. If trimming took away from the beauty of the Pom, then a trimmed one would not win in the ring, such is certainly not the case.Our standard at present, further separates the professionals from most owner handlers. Only the professionals are usually good enough at trimming so it looks "natural" and "untrimmed." To change the standard to disqualifying for over trimming would make the professionals improve their techniques even more thus leading to nearly all Poms having to be pro-handled to compete and win. It would be directly penalizing amateur handlers. Is this what we want to happen to our breedIs it not time to put outdated rules away and change with the times ReCont.on page 91Page 88 Pom ReviewApril 1990DU CP S CP O CMC CE CACI PL PisINTRODUCESPRISSYLGntMtS HMTttSBURG K.EHHEL CLUBconDUPRES BUSTERS MS PRISSY Ch.

MILLAMORS ROCK MEDALLION ROMJanuary 1, 1977 - December 24, 1989MEDALLION. His passing marks, for us, the end of an era, as well as the end of the decade.MEDALLION. His first year in the ring, was Top Pom in Canada 1978. His second year, he was again Top Pom, Number 2 Toy, and Number 10 All Breeds. He won more points in a single year than any other Pom in the histoiy of the Breed, a record which still stands. He won 12 Bests in Show, and almost 60 Group First before retiring.MEDALLION. We hope he will always be remembered, not for his show record, but for his ability as a producer. While not used extensively, his contribution to the breed, both in Canada and the U.S., is remarkable. To date he has 29 Champions in Canada, 9 are Best in Show winners, 17 Group-winners, and 10 are American Champions. His kids have won more than 35 Best in Shows in Canada. Others have gone on to become Top Producers themselves.MEDALLION was all of these things, but more important, is the special place he will always have in our hearts.CHRISTINE D. AND JOHN E.

CONGRATULATIONSStatistics compiled by Jean Schroll, who assumes no liability for absolute correctness. Information obtained from AKC Gazette as of February 1990 issue.Yips and Yaps cont. from page 87gardless of how the standard reads now or in the future, the trimming fad just would not be eliminated. Because this fad is a wonderful look that most people seem to likeI also think that trimmed Poms have a better chanceof winning groups and Best In Shows because they look like show dogs. Natural Poms quite often look like someone's pet and sometimes appears straight out of the kennel I say, let's go the extra mile, go to some extra trouble and make our Pom s look their very best in the ring, up to the full potential.Do we APC members want to hold our breed back because of this one line in our standard or arc we willing to change and improve and move aheadThere are some serious things to consider disqualifying in the ring, such as slipping joints, open fontanels, and poor temperament.

Mound, Mn. 55364 612 472-5950Page 94 Pom ReviewApril 1990Co-Owning Can Be An Enriching ExperienceBy Wendy FeistTo co-own or not to co-own is a valid and important question I believe before any one takes on an arrangement such as this, one must fully understand what it means to co-own. The breeder who is parting with and the buyer who is buying a dog on a co-own contract, must fully understand that each partner owns equally Being a co-owner doesn't mane that you own less than the owner mentioned first on the papers It means to own jointlyIt can be hard for a breeder to let go of the idea that the dog isn't fully his hers still and it can be equally hard for the new owner who has paid hard earned money for a dog to realize that he must share equally in all the aspects that entail co-owning.If you believe this with you head and your HEART, you are truly ready to have a chance at a wonderful experience. I fully believe in co-owning and have had some good times and learned a lot in the process. It's like a lot of relationships in life it doesn't just work on its own YOU MUST PUT EFFORT into it. It isn't all give and take.I believe in always having a contract agreement in writing before buying or selling. With co-owning it is of the utmost importance You must contemplate possible situations that can arise and be sure to cover these and all the bases in the contract. Even between friends Several years down to road you may have forgotten anything verbal you may have promised. The following is an example of what I would include on a long term co-own contract1 The name and address of each party involved with an inclusion of any change of address or phone number.2 This statement can be vital shouldthings go array This advice comes from any attorney when asked about putting together a legal document. "Any legalaction will be done in________________City and__________ State."3 All the information on the AKC papers should also be included.4 General medical care and up to keep is a must If it is a bitch, what if there is a c-section How will expenses be covered Or non-regular problems, such as a broken leg Death5 I then cover all details relating to breeding. In a bitch, you would covera How you choose a studb How is the stud paid forc If you use your own stud, a no fee statement should be includedd Which partner will handle the details pertaining to the breeding.You would follow the same suit if it should be a male you are to co-own. And what about brucellosis testing6 In a bitch, you must decide how you will split any litters. What if only one puppy is produced Who will do the whelping What if you need a c-sectio-,, what vet will you use7 With which party will the dog reside What about boarding and feed expense8 It is also important to record in the contract how much the dog was purchased for and what was required of each partner.9 What about showing and all the expense it entails What if a handler is needed10 An account ledger should be kept with all receipts for each expenses.11 A clause should be included should a partner wish to terminate their part of the contract.These are just a few basics. But the Cont. on page 95Pom ReviewApril 1990 Page 95Co-owning cont. from page 94point is to give you an idea of some important things to consider when writing up and entering into a co-owning contract. Trust your instincts and feelings you have about the people you are getting involved with. If something doesn't set right with you about a prospective partner, check it out Something small in the beginning could turn out to be a mountain in the futureAnother point that should be mentioned in writing the contract is the type of print and print size must remain the same throughout the contract. If you use hand writing, it should all be done in hand writing. It it's done in all caps, it should all be done in caps, etc. I think you get the point.Be consistent. It really can work and be a good experience for you as it has been for me.CIRCULATION MANAGERJohn Cribbs Rt. 1, Box 249 Doswell, Va. 23047 804 876-3643SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Your inquiries answered within 24 hours20.00 per year - Third Class MailRates apply to U.S , Canada, Mexico, APO's, Puerto Rico U.S. Funds Only25.00 per year - First Class MaillMailing Time3rd Class -10-14 days 1st class-3-5 daysIf you move, 3rd class mail is not forwarded by the Post Office.
