Those issues for future reference will be known as the following January - HandlersJr. Showmanship issue March - Obedience issue May - National SpecialtyWestminsterJudges issue July - Stud issue September - Puppy HopefulsSummerSpecialty issue November - Brood Bitch issue.It is hoped that all will pay close attention to these special issues and plan your advertising around them. For example, you know that the Brood Bitch issue is in November, so take those special photos when those bitches are in coat and in top condition and hold them until that issue. That way you'll have nice bitches who look every bit the champions they're sure to become. And without them, where would you be todayAnd because we're going to six issues, things will be even tighter than they have ever been before. Deadlines are deadlines No exceptions If you don't have it in, I'm truly sorry. But I won't have time to wait or make extensive alterations to your already sent copy. Make sure it is the way you want it when you send it in. Also keep in mind wordiness in your ads. This distracts from photo reproduction sizes and clutters the page.I'd like very much to start a visiting Veterinarian column. But this can only be a success if you can get your vets to agree to write short articles maximum of 2 double spaced, type-written pages on medical aspects that are specific to Poms or Toys in general. Each of you who do this will be given credit for having sent the article in. So start talking---------------------------------------------- KennelVisitThe January'91 issue will feature a kennel visit with Natalie Dunfee, TYNAN Pomeranians. Pom Review encourages its advertisers to extend congratulations to Natalie in their ads.vOpening Views....Again, Im sure most of you are saying to yourself and others, that A PC really made a mistake in hiring me for the editorship of Pom Review. My last comments were written, of course, before the actual printing of the July Pom Review and I was writing them based on the commitments made from the printer, as to promised delivery date and promised quality of the publication. And of course, we were all very sadly disappointed with the end result.Needless to say, I did fire thatprinter for any future work for APC and the Pom Review. I truly dont believe that I am wrong in saying, prior to publication, that this issue is superb A new printer, Royster Printing Services, Inc., will no doubt do justice to this grand publication. This printer also prints the Old English Sheepdog Club of America bimonthly publication, the English Springer Spaniel Quarterly, and my own publication, Toy Parade. He has been doing the first two publications, 5 years and 8 years, respectively. So he has a proven track record And I am proud to have APC and the Pom Review associated with him.This issue will be the last of the quarterly publications of the Pom Review. Starting January 1991, we go bimonthly I know this will be extremely exciting to most of you, especially when you have those litters that need to be advertised in a timely manner. New deadlines have been included on page 3 but I want to put out here in this column, those dates again so there will be no mistake on the new deadline dates. Those new dates are January issue -1 November deadline March issue -1 January deadline May issue - 1 March deadline July issue - 1 May deadline September issue - 1 July deadline and November issue - 1 September deadline. Mail out date of each issue will be the 15 of each month, the month before. Example January 1991 to be mailed out by December 15, 1990, March 1991 mailed out February 15,1991, etc.Also, there has been two new charges added for preferred placement on the back cover and inside back cover of each issue. Back cover charge will be 75 for APC members and 90 for non-members inside back cover will be 65 for members and 80 for non-members. The reason for this change is due to the difference in paper used for the cover than the inside pages. The cnvpr napes cost APC more, thus a reasonableRemember, if you wish a preferred placement, a deposit must accompany your request. Money deposited guarantees your request. Current reservations on hand for the original April and July 91 issues, will now be moved up to the March and May 91 issues unless otherwise dictated differently by those who made the reservations. The same goes for the inside front covers that were originally reserved for the January, April, July October 1991 issues. If you wish differently, call me now and advise me of such.Additionally, subscription fees are now 25 bulk and 30 first class - this means any in country and out of country mailings, i.e., Canada, Mexico, Australia, Germany, Puerto Rico, APOs, etc. Postal fees will be increased in January '91 by about 20. APC's costs for mailing each issue of the Review is very substantial. This subcription hike will help to defraj some of those increases and will put the Review more in line with subcription rates of other breec magazines. Actually, the new fees are still considerably less than many other canine periodicals.Those writing columns will not be expectec to have a column for each issue. In fact, it has been felt that so much news comes from the wesi and mid-west areas, that it would probably be best to have only 2 or 3 of those reports in each issue. So give this some thought writers, and take the appropriate action based on your clubs] desires.Congratulations to all you winners from the Summer National Specialty. I know all came away as winners due to being able to meet new friends and seeing old ones and just sharing in the festivities of the event Sorry that I could no make it, as originally planned, but my civil serv ice job kept me from being there.

Congratulations from the APC for a job exceedingly well done. Everyday and every minute was accounted for by our host right down to the very last hour of the last day. The Auction was a huge success as well. I'm sure that all of you who were fortunate enough to attend the Specialties, will agree with me, that it was a super weekend of shows.The American Pomeranian Club was also fortunate enough to have enough Board members around to have a mini-annual Board meeting. Many items were discussed and some approved by the Board. As I mentioned to the membership in the last issue of the Review, I brought up several things to the Board and now report to you on the followinga. A Standing Rule was passed to have a General Membership meeting at the Summer Speciality, if there was enough Board members present for a quorum for their Board meeting.b. The Board approved the Pom Review being printed 6 times a year starting with January 1991.c. An increase in dues were also discussed and approved by the Board, subject to the membership voting for a constitutional change on this and subsequent approval by the AKC. The dues would be increased to 25 for a single membership and 35 for a Family membership.I would like to touch on this subject a little with you at this time. The raising of our parent club dues is long overdue and at present is ridiculously low, compared to other all breed clubs. Many of our own regional club's dues are substantially higher than the parent club. Trying to look at this issue through your eyes, even those who seldom or never contribute to the APC functions by supporting theTrophy Funds orad- vertising in the Pom Review, would have a wav of showing their support to the parentmember of and would certainly feel they are doing their part in helping to defray the expenses incurred by the club.As we are all aware, living costs go up on a regular basis, and so do the costs of running a volunteer, non-profit club. Y et, all through the years, the APC has left the dues at these low figures. I fully realize how easy it would be to vote "NO" to a constitutional change on increasing our dues and no one would be the wiser, but I also am confident that the members will come forth and approve this constitutional change and show a great concern for their club.The Board also approved the appointment of our new Chairperson for the Membership Committee. Beverly Poplar was introduced to the Board later in the program and she will begin almost immediately to assume her duties in this capacity.The Finance Committee, headed by Dianne Johnson, has completed their findings and recommendations and is presenting same to the Board.I have appointed a new Show Chairman for our Annual Specialty in February, 1991 in new York. Audrey Roberts is to be commended for taking this job and hanging in there for the last three years. She will be succeeded by Marlin Presser. Marlin will be working very closely with Ms. Shirley Thomas, who is the Chief Coordinator for putting on this huge Toy Specialty show. You will be kept up to date with more information as it becomes available to the Board.Sincerely yours in 'Toms",Dolores Watts APC PresidentMMary McAliley 124 Briarwood Lane Summerville, SC 29483Erich Carol Loretan 4150 W.

This is a shade of Brown. They have Brown noses, lips and eye rims.WOLF SABLE Poms are strictly shades of Gray and Black, from pale gray undercoat to Black tipping on' top coat. They have NO warm tint of Cream or Orange ANYWHERE on legs or body. They have Black noses, lips and eye rims.BLUE Poms may be any shade of Blue from a light Lavendar Blue or Sky Blue most desired coloring to a dark Slate Blue with or without Gray undercoat. They have Blue noses, lips and eye rims.CHOCOLATE Poms are a solid color, either a light milk chocolate color or a dark coffee bean color. They should NOT have tan Doberman markings those that do are brown and tan or chocolate and tan. ALL ARE PERMITTED in the ring. ALL have Brown noses, lips and eye rims.CREAM Poms are a SOLID COLOR like rich Guernsey cream. They do NOT have light or white shadings. They must have Black noses, lips and eye rims.ORANGE Poms are ANY shade of Golden Orange to deep Red Orange. They MAY have lighter or darker shadings OF THE SAME COLOR, or sable markings or some black shadings. They may NOT have white undercoat or white markings. They MUST HAVE Black noses, lips and eye rims.RED Poms are distinguished from the Red Orange Poms with some difficulty by those not experienced in color comparison, but they should have a definite RED tint. They range from a light brick red to a dark Irish Setter red. They also MAY have the same lighter or darker shadings, etc. as the other solid colored Poms. They MUST have Black noses, lips and eye rims.These definitions are given to help the novice breeder or exhibitor properly describe the colors of their Poms. OurJ K EditorialEXHIBITOR OR EXHIBITIONISTReprinted from July, 1972 IssueExhibitors in a horse show would be barred from competition, if they turned up in some of the costumes seen on dog show exhibitors. There is a time and a place for everything, but it is our opinion that Mod, "Hippie, Hi-Fashion or far-out wearing apparelboth masculine and feminine, but especially the latter is in extremely poor taste in a dog show ring. Many of the thighs and bosoms exposed would be much better concealed, but even the form divine that does not insult the eye of the beholder DOES distract the attention from the object being exhibited that is, the dog. It is possible to wear attractive modem clothing that is comfortable and suitable without being suggestive or sloppy or downright vulgar.GOOD SPORTSMANSHIPWe all know that we are supposed to lose or win gracefully, congratulate the winner or if possible compliment the losers dog to make him the owner feel better. Some of the newer exhibitors may not realize that a very important part of good sportsmanship is in the matter of competition when to hold your dog out of competition, even though you are entered, and when it is perfectly correct to continue showing.When someone tells you his dog finished with 30 points, he is either a very greedy, unsportsmanlike exhibitor, or perfectly possible a very unlucky one who kept gathering unnecessary points because someone broke the major, every time he showed. In general, when your dog has won 9 points but NO MAJOR, you should not show him at any show where there is no major in at least one sex, even though you are entered. When your dog has won 12 points and ONE MAJOR, you should not show him at any show unless thereis a major in one or the other. When your dog has won BOTH MAJORS, but lacks one or two single points, it is perfectly O.K. to show him even though he might win an extra unneeded major. But ... If your dog has BOTH MAJORS and, according to your calculations, 15 points, it is greedy, and very poor sportsmanship to continue showing him for an extra, unneeded major. Insurance points, if any are felt necessary because of possible miscalculation, should be limited to 1 extra point after your dog wins his 15 points with at least 2 majors.Let us stress that there is no AKC rule against continuing to show your dog for unnecessary extra points, as champions CAN be shown in the Open Class. It is simply a matter of good sportsmanship or, if you like, the Golden Rule. Majors are too hard to find to condone the practice of being greedy.WITHHOLDING THE BLUEWe feel sure that most breeders have sold pet type Poms, explained to the buyers why they should NOT be shown or used for breeding only to have them exhibited in the ring later on, to the embarrassment of everyone except the Proud Owner. If he is the only one in his class, he takes home the Blue Ribbon. Since most Novices believe a Blue Ribbon to be the ultimate award, this spurs him on to more and more showing. We feel there is a need for judges to exercise their privilege of withholding the blue ribbon a little more frequently. Perhaps it would be a hard lesson for the novice exhibitor and damaging to his ego, to receive only a second or third place ribbon, but it is a lesson that would hit home. If he really wanted to show, he would purchase a better Pom.We welcome comments on this editorial, especially the last section and especially from licensed judges. We will NOT print your name, if you ask us not to.OBLIGATIONS OF THE OWNER OF THE BITCHBy RUTH L. BEAMReprinted from July, 1971There are many important factors to be considered when one is shipping a female to a kennel to be bred, and all are important. One must send a clean, healthy bitch. I dont mean she should be bathed. If she is groomed often enough, she will be clean. A healthy bitch worm free and not too fat or too thin is more important to the breeder than to the owner of the stud, as the breeder is the loser if a live, healthy litter is not whelped. Very nervous bitches and those under 4^ are often poor producers. The brood matron should also be immunized against distemper and hepatitis and preferably, leptospirosis, too. The healthier the bitch, the better her chances are of conceiving and carrying her pups full time and without problems.The bitch should have an up-to-date health certificate some express agents do look at the health certificate when the female is returned. Mine do. A rabies shot is also required, though it is good for one year. The bitch should also foe free of fleas, lice, ticks, ear mites and skin problems.Another important factor to be considered, is sending a good quality bitch. She doesnt have to be a champion, but neither should be a cull. Sometimes we get good type pups from a bitch that is not good in conformation and vice versa, but it stands to reason the typier the sire and dam, the better chance the pups have of being good quality, too. A good quality bitch and stud are a must for inbreeding.When you have made arrangements to breed your matron to a desired stud in advance, notify the owner immediately after you find the bitch in season so the stud owner can reserve the proper time to breed your bitch. If you find, for some reason, you will not be able to send yourmatron for service, notify the stud owner as soon as possible otherwise, you may cause the owner of the stud to miss a much needed stud fee and another breeder to lose a litter from a very desired stud.Dont send the bitch at the beginning of her season as this will necessitate an unreasonable length of time at the kennel, even if you pay board. Often, stud owners especially if they have several studs have several matrons in at the same time which can cause a lot of extra work. Since the bitch is seldom bred before the 10th or 11th day for the first service, shipping on the 7th or 8th day in season is quite soon enough. Try to ship by direct flight, if possible.If the bitch has an irregular season, or if the owner does not know the exact day she started her season, she should be shipped when the red discharge first begins to fade, and normally, the swelling of the vulva becomes more pronounced. As long as the vulva is stiff or stiff into the body, even if the discharge has decreased, it is still too soon to breed. The bitch is sore and tender to touch until the vulva softens. A few will continue to feel a little stiff throughout their season, and a few will fight the male throughout their season and must be muzzled and held forcibly.It is considerate of the owner of the female to instruct the stud owner to call collect when the bitch is ready to be sent home. Since REA Air Express will only accept dogs for shipping on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, we sometimes have ample time to notify the owner by mail when the bitch will be shipped. Having only 3 days in the week in which to ship, may also make it necessary to ship a bitch before her 7th or 8th day in season.The transportation cost is always paid Dy the ovmer of the bitch.The owner of the female is expected to pay the stud fee at time of service. The fee should reach the stud owner before the matron returns home. Stud service contract blanks make the conditions of the stud service very clear, though some stud owners are a little more generous in their breeding terms than are stipulated in the stud service contracts. Once a stud is proven and consistantly sires litters, failure of a bitch to conceive can very rarely be blamed on the stud. There are so many reasons that can be responsible for the failure of the bitch to whelp, but that subject should be discussed in a separate article.Dont request signed litter papers at time of service. A.K.C. does not allow this.The owner of the stud should be notified cf the results of the service within 10 'days after the bitch is due to whelp. If you report the birth of a litter immediately after it. is whelped, dont expect the owner of the stud to send the litter registration application immediately, A small percentage of litters will die within a week or longer after they are whelped. The really proper way the litter registration application should be handled and it should be required is for the owner of the litter to fill out the application, when he is reasonably sure the pups will live, and send it to the owner of the stud for the signature and date of services. Some breeders will send the application, along with a stamped envelope addressed to A.K.C. and a check so the stud owner can finish filling in the application and then send it direct to A.K.C.No matter how short the trip, a water can should be fastened inside the crate. The top of the can preferably an aluminum half pint or pint cup should not be less than 6 inches from the bottom of the crate. Fill cup one-third full at time of shipping. The bitch should have no food in flight. Food usually means a BM in the crate and odor is the main reason some of the airlines will not accept dogs. The best bedding is several layers of newspaper and then a bed of shredded paper on top of that. The strips should not be more than 8 inches long V to 1 inch wide, as longer strips that havenot been separated can twist around a leg of an active bitch and cut off the circulation. The shipping crate should be light but strong and sturdy. The crate should have a solid top and bottom, A solid top is necessary for proper labeling and in case the crate is exposed to rain or hot sun while the plane is being loaded and unloaded. Obviously, the crate should be well ventilated during warm weather, and for winter shipping, a much tighter crate should be used with a thicker layer of shredded paper so the bitch will not get chilled. The ideal crate that can be converted to all seasons, is the Kroyer Summer-Winter Crate.The crate should be well labeled. One label should toe glued or stapled to the top of the crate. Sealing tape is very satisfactory too. The address should be printed large enough to be read from a standing position. There Should also be at least one labeled tag attached to crate. Recently, I picked up a matron at the REA airport office and the agent told me they 'had a dog there with no identification on the crate. They didnt know to whom the dog belonged nor from where it came. The crate was an open type crate and the dog had pulled the tags through the slats and destroyed them.In the 34 years in which I have bred Pomeranians, I have found 99 of those who send bitches to me for service, are honest, responsible and wonderful people. The very few who have disappointed me, will not discourage me in offering my little Boys at stud.TOBI MatchFor those of you who reside in and around the Timonium, Maryland area, the Toy Oriental Breeds International will hold a match on October 20 21 at Timonimum Fair Grounds.

Haynes 2381 Wilson Ave. Redding, CA 96002 916 221-4056United Effortsby Edna GirardotIt was a pleasure to be able to attend the Greater Baltimore Pomeranian Clubs first specialty show, sweepstakes and obedience on July 5, and the American Pomeranian summer specialty show and sweepstakes the following day, hosted by the Baltimore club. Both shows were held in the fabulous Holiday Inn located in Timonium, MD.Wednesday afternoon, the 4th, was very busy and exciting for exhibitors, guest arriving and getting settled in. Club members hurrying around getting all details covered and welcoming the arrivals. The hospitality room was well attended that evening - welcome signs and decorations and an abundance of delicious food. Club members right there to replenish food from two large microwaves and to see that everyone was comfortable and getting food. It was a jolly evening, people greeting one another - lots of conversation and an anticipation for what was to take place the next two days.Everyone was up early next morning getting ready for 8 a.m. judging. The show room gave ample space for the conformation ring on one end, and obedience ring on other end with plenty of seating for spectators. Welcome signs, decorations, several concession booths, greetings and assistance from committee members gave evidence of a great event to come and indicative of much beforehand preparation.The PCGB Entries of 186 included 37 obedience entries. However, 149 show entries far exceed that of any previous regional club show and 171 entries for APC summer specialty far exceeded any previous one I think with the exception of the one held in conjunction with the AKC Centennial. I am unable to comment on obedience as that is not one of my things but I honestly believe that an entry of 37 at some allbreed shows was considered a good entry.What a beginning for a club only sanctioned five or six months prior to their show The work and long hours of planning and the united effort of the club members was manifested in many ways beside large entries and results far beyond anyones imagination. Beautiful trophies of hand painted Pom oriented items representing still many more hours preparing.I abstain from commenting on the judgingjudge and the well known Robert Reedy, the regular classes judge, had their work cut out for them with such a large entry of beautiful Poms. Both did a commendable jobThe show was over in time for feeding dogs - relaxing a bit before congregating in the lobby to board busses that transported over a hundred people to an awaiting ship for a well planned dinner cruise. An excellent meal was served after fun time for those who wished to relax with a cocktail or two or just enjoy the view of shore lights and passing ships or whatever. Music prevailed and one of our rather shy, quiet APC members entertained us with her exotic dancing which really made the evening. What more could one ask for or wantThe APC specialty, Friday, brought early risers in preparation for 8 a.m. judging. Most of the same beautiful Poms of the day before plus some new entries, 171 total, gave sweepstakes judge, the well known handler of Duffie and everyones friend, Jackie Little Stacy and regular classes judge Mary McCoy, also well known to most everyone, a very complimentary thrill and some serious moments of decisions. Trophies were beautiful crystal items and the same warm hospitality and assistance by club members prevailed throughout the day.Again, the show was over in time for feeding dogs - relaxing, changing clothes for the banquet A Pay yourself bar was available and the room hummed with laughter, conversation and excitement Club members were rushing about making finishing touches of whatever needed. The dinner and service was superb but the bit attraction of the evening was the Auction. There were many beautiful hand painted Pomeranian oriented items and a real Auctioneer kept a spirited atmosphere. Bidding was generous, exciting and the auction a successful one. Just another example of the tiresome work done by the Baltimore club in preparation of two great specialties.I have the privilege of being an honorary member of this hard working club and life member of APC. Have attended many regional and summer APC specialties and I have to say that these two were right up there with the best, and if not the best, close to it Never once did I hear a derogatory remark. People went out of their way to give complimentary praise. The upcoming host of the APC summer specialties have a toughUnited EffortsCont. from page 17act to follow. The PCGB worked hard and long to put on two such successful shows and deserve much creditI had a wonderful time renewing old friendships, meeting newcomers, and most of all, thankful I was able to attend and participate. God willing. Ill see you again February 91.NOTE This article was forwarded by Dianne Johnson to the Pom Review. The following is an attachment made by Dianne Thank you Edna for such a nice article. It brought tears to my eyes as Im sure it will to other PCGB members who worked so hard to make the shows the success that there were, when they read this. To those of you who do notknow Edna, it is worth your while to get to know her. She has always been one of, if not the nicest Pom persons I have ever met andI am most proud to have known her.Judges LettersJacqueline L. StacyIt was such a thrill to have judged the Sweepstakes classes at the APC National Specialty on Friday, July 6. The room where the show was held was good sized with plenty of spectator seating. The trophies were spectacular. I give special thanks to my ring steward, Jon Marcantonio, who got the puppies in the ring promptly and kept me abreast of the time.The overall quality of the entries was high, especially in the dog classes. I was presented with enough depth that I was able to make my placements by first selecting for what I consider the essence of the breed, make and shape, and then refining my choices considering other details.The puppies were in great physical condition, most nice and chunky. They showed their hearts out as only Pom puppies can do. Bites were good as was movement. I would have liked to have seen more leg under a good number and better tail sets on most Open molars were present. Stifles, fortunate for most, were seemingly good. However, soundness is still a concern.I would be honored to own and handle many of these puppies, especially the Best inlength. His tail set is near perfect, which adds so to his lovely outline. He has excellent carriage, is athletic in motion and is a tireless showman. For me, he was clearly the best.Thanks to all for such a delightful experience and congratulations to all who worked so very hard to make this Specialty so very Special.Mary McCoyThank you for giving me the opportunity to judge the APC summer specialty. It was a most delightful day It was evident the Pomeranian Club of Greater Baltimore members had put forth all efforts to hold a very successful specialty. Keep up the good efforts for many more outstanding specialtiesSincere thanks for the beautiful clock and kindness extended to me.Christine D. HeartzIt is always an honor to be asked to evaluate another breeders puppies. Judging at a Specialty is the highest compliment of all. The entry you brought to me was exceptional, and a credit to the breeders who have worked so hard to produce these lovely puppies.Our breed standard is written as a blueprint for us all to follow. It must remain a guideline despite personal preferences. Many of the puppies I had were excellent representatives of the breed. I felt the winning puppies represented qualities I feel make a Pom a Pom. They were beautiful, sound Poms with good outlines, expression and bodies. What separated the eventual winners from all the others were the details that give the breed type and elegance.My choice in a very nice class of 6-9 month puppy dogs was, JAKEN WL ALL THE RIGHT MOVES. He was a nice size, clear orangepuppy with an excellent attitude that is so important in a show dog.I chose SHYACRES STEEPLECHASER from another excellent class of 9-12 month puppy dogs. This guy epitomizes what our standard asks for in body balance. His neck set on his shoulder so beautifully, giving that ultra short back, and legs in all the right places. There were several other puppies in this class I would predict bright futures for.I chose MERRYMONT GOLD FEVER, from a lovely class of 6-9 month puppy bitches. Several others certainly could have won, had she not been there, for thev were verv nice in theirJudges LettersCont. from page 18own right But my winner filled my eye with her femininity. She was excellent coming, going and side on.The 9-12 month puppy bitch class, contained some girls which will I am sure, go on to benefit the breed. I chose EMCEES HY LADY MORGANA, whose ideal size, soundness and outline won her the class.My eventual Best in Sweeps winner, MERRYMONT GOLD FEVER, and my Best of Opposite Sex, SHYACRES STEEPLECHASER, both possess many of our breeds elusive, finer points. I preferred the beautiful head details, the glamour and soundness of the bitch, but loved the perfect outline and showmanship of the dog. Not an easy decision, both were so gorgeous.I would like to thank each and every one of you who brought me such a lovely group of truly outstanding puppies. It was a very special pleasure.Thanks to my ring steward, Jon Mar canto nio. A very big Thank You to Dianne Johnson and her entire show committee.

Entries nearly broke the previous record for past associated Summer Specialty Shows from the AKC Centennial Show and the total entry number of 186 helped along by 37 obedience entries.In obedience all regular classes were offered and entered and non-regular class entries include 65 graduate novice Poms, 3 veterans over age 9 years, 6 months, and 3 brace entries. The only class that did not receive an entry was Veterans Open. Most probable reason for this was that the Poms who could compete in this class were entered in the regular classes - especially the ones trying for utility legs.But back up a bit. The obedience activities actually started the previous aftemnon with a mini-seminar called Sit-Stay Talk. Originally this session met to discuss ways that local Pom clubs could be encouraged to hold obedience trials of their own. Quite surprisingly, Dan Margaret Ontiveros traveled all the way from San Diego to Baltimore to find out how this should be done. Gloria Carlin, a long-time breederexhibitor, who has recently gotten her feet wet in obedience, also accompanied them. Many other things were covered during this session. Each person got a chance to introduce themselves and tell a bit about their fuzzballs. State-of-the-art obedience equipment courtesy of Sylvias Tack Box, were demonstrated and passed around. The usual and unusual training methods as well as gossip were discussed as were future events.Around dinner time this group broke up and beat a hasty retreat to the Hospitality Room where a Thanksgiving-sized feast awaited all who entered.An obedience work session began before nightfall. Here is probably where many life-time friendships were made as real training techniques were seen and people really had more of a chance to mingle.Participating at this trial were 12 entries from Virginia, 7 from Pennsylvania, 6 from Michigan, 5 entries from New York, 3 from that very small state of Delaware, and 1 each fromwas just a local club having their first showtrial, but also the first Pom Specialty on the East CoastSpecialties are supposed to be special. This one was first class special from the Perrier that you found when you opened your hotel room door, to those magnanimous goody bags both of them, to those individually made keepsake scorecards. Trophies at Specialties are normally well done. Baltimores were no exception to this. You cant buy one from any of the recipients. It was a full rosette trial from qualifiers and nonregulars, through placements to HIT. The grounds were fantastic. True, one could not control the outdoor temperature of 100 degrees, but all were indoors. The large hotel-sized ballroom was divided in half. The larger of the two rings was for obedience. You know, the one with the baby gates. Chairs abounded as well as near silence. Stewards were imported for this event. Many thanks to Helen Cash who worked gate, Karen Allen of German Shorthair Pointer fame and new Pom owner Barbara Chin. Very heartfelt thanks goes to Richmond Dog Obedience Club who again lent us a set of jumps. Hal Cash judged this trial. Always dapper always fair, but you always knew he was pulling for you when you entered the ring. He was as disappointed as the exhibitors when a dog nqd.Walking off with a gorgeous Pom slate clock, all the money, and many rosettes was Sandy Winchatz and Dover-Holihouse Fire N Ice, CD with a 196 out of open A and then a as she won HIT after a run-off with Barbara McKenny and Annons Killer Cupcake from novice B. The orange and white parti-color, ConHer by name, and Sandy are already familiar with HIT, as her first novice leg was also good for HIT earlier this year. That makes the first leg in novice and the first leg in open both HITs. What else can this flashy Pom doHS Champion of record was Roz Goltz and Ch. Penrus Sugar Plum Fairy, UD out of the open B class and Roz also won HS Ch from the non- regular classes with Ch. Emcees Solid Gold of Jabil, UD from the veterans class. Considering that Roz has the only living Ch-UDs in the country, this win was more than gratifying to those present.HS Bred by Exhibitor was a delighted Judy Green and her Razzle Dazzle Music Man, CDObedience Poms in Baltimorecontinued from page 25also from the open A classes. As this was Dallas first time in the open ring and first leg, delighted is an understatement Also qualifying in open A was CKs Sunshine Supergirl Brenda Hutton, who had gotten their first leg in the previous weekend. If you didnt catch what happened, there were three open A entries, all three qualified and HIT came out of open A. How often does that happenA special prize was offered for HS bred-by in the novice A class. This was won by Jeirie Freia with her Janesas Southland Tanner, a black and tan Pom. Jerrie also won the title of she who comes the furthest to an obedience trial as this team came from the New Orleans area. Jerrie is no stranger to Pom Specialties as her Star came from thepuppy class to take the points and more at the APC Annual Specialty in New York this year. Then in March she and another of her bitches, U-Bet, won Best of Winners at the Dal- las-Ft. Worth Pom show. A convert perhaps to the obedience ringsWhen the HIT was awarded and the pictures done, was it over No way We boarded buses that took us to a cruise ship down at Baltimores Inner Harbor. Here we sailed around the Chesapeake Bay, ate dinner and talked about the trial, obedience in general, training methods, future prosepcts - and next year.Hats off to Baltimore for a spectaculareventNovice A 2 entries1st, 193.5 - Janesas Southland Tanner Tanner, Jerrie Freia LANovice B 2 entries, 1 absent1st, 196 - Annons Killer Cupcake Cupcake, Barbara McKenny VAOpen A 3 entries1st, 196 - Dover-Holihouse Fire N Ice, C.D.

If you need help, ntact Mary Vickers, 703 960-7755.That Twinkling GaitReprinted from the June, 1959 IssueLike the term "short Pom," a twinkling gait is attributed to many Poms - bad and good - in a complimentary sense. It is a catchy phrase, but dangerous.Too often a twinkling gait is faulty when the Pom so honored is mincing. There isn't a breed in the books that calls for a mincing gait because it may mean that the dog is tied at the elbows, too erect in shoulders, weak in pasterns, loosely coupled, weak in quarters, or straight in stifle and hock. It has no reach. Power from the rear cannot be transmitted to the whole dog, and there is not enough power being generated from behind. Like the sprinters say, it is a poor, overworking puller, and not a pusher.Other factors of size and build being equal, the dog that takes fewer steps to get there is the better gaited.Dogs that weave, paddle, spraddle, or sidewind may also give the impression of twinkling because, coming or going, so many feet can be seen in so many diverse positions. The grace and simplicity characteristic of a good mover are thus lost.The action of a Pomeranian should be free and elastic, writes Miss Linda A. Wilson in her book. "The Popular Pomeranian." "The action of a Pomeranian is unique and shared by no other dog," she continues, "yet, how few breeders realize this, or to value this charming quality. If for any reason this is lost, it will be a thousand pities, for there is nothing more attractive to either judge or ringsider."It is recognized, of course, that a well- gaited Pom moved fast to demonstrate good action may certainly appear to sparkle, twinkle, and shine. But the next time someone says your Pom has a twinkling gait, it might be wise to think twice before smiling.JAN LES LATEST KIDSAMCAN CH. JAN LES ROCK MY WORLDAmCan Ch.

He also was Veteran Dog for the APC Summer Specialty, July 6,1990.Having won the Veteran Dog class at the Winter Specialty last February 1990, he now has three Veteran Classes in a row to his credit at his tender age of almost 8 years. If he continues to hold coat and do well, maybe he will be out again in the future. At any rate, he is my top stud dog at Watts' Kennels with several champions to his credit and I am so very proud of him.Watts Poms4800 Floral Park RoadBrandywine, MD 20613301 372-8782Watts PomsWATTS-SCOTIA PINCH A PENNY chWinners Bitch Best of Winners Pom Club of Greater Baltimore Specialty July, 1990Penny is shown above, going WB BOW for a 5 point major.

I seem to have made a few discoveries lately that Ill pass along for you. I seem to have collected a few excellent articles, and the topic has come up a couple of times, How do you lead train a puppyIt is impossible to lead train a puppy that does not trust you enough to follow you on his own. Simple enough but true. Why would a puppy who has no interest in you follow along when you tie a string around his neck The best way is to have a puppy following you without a lead first. Then some play time on a lead. Only then should you ask him to follow you. He also should already be baiting. Learning to bait first is a great help when starting lead training.Another really important rule, I never thought about before, is Never lead train while a puppy is teething. The basics should already be there by the time they are 3i2 to 4 months, then leave them along until they are 5 months.Table Train EarlySo many Poms are really bad on a table simply because they never see one until a show. Try feeding goodies and teaching to bait on one of those low ringside tables that Lhasa and Shift Tzu people use.Have a puppy that constantly stares at the ground when gaiting Try letting him cany his favorite toy around, what a differenceAnd speaking of well trained, someone must be doing something right. We have 5 best in Show winners so far this year in Canada Ch. Tynan Fluf N Stuff, owned by Kara Greenwood who is Natalie Dunfees younger sister won back to back in the Spring. This guy is currently Top Pom in Canada.Ch. Chinookwinds Cariboo Eclipse bred and owned by Ann Fulton, co-owned and handled by Coleen Beeland. He is a cream boy and we all know how hard it is to even do winning with an orange one.Ch. Bavanews Somewhere In Timerecently been purchased by Judy Page, who plans to campaign him this year.Dwayne Ward is the very proud owner of Pattys Moe Best Look At Me, another Best in Show winner, and the only one not Canadian bred, which used to be a rarity in this country.Congratulations to all the breeders and ownersGood luck with those puppies.Bay Colony Pomeranian Clubby Claire FlesnerBy the time you are reading this, we would have held another successful match.

McKee 2426 Sandy Hook Road Goochland, VA 23063 804 556-3380THE SUMMER SPECIALTIESThe Baltimore Specialties were wonderful. The site, trophies, and hospitality were all excellent. There were numerous extras like goody hags, door prizes, and a bottle of Perrier with a welcoming note delivered to each room. The entries were large in number and quality. The puppy classes were delightful, hut I was surprised at the lack of depth in the Open Bitch Classes.I was delirious over the obedience entry, a total of 37 Obedience judging lasted as long as breed judging, hut alas, I couldnt watch as I was so busy. Ideally, we should try to schedule obedience so it is not being judged at the same time as conformation. There were entries in all obedience classes except Vets Open. Several people earned legs. Some great old-timers were brought out again. The only two living Ch- UDsCh. Emcees Solid Gold of Jabil, UD and Ch. Penrus Sugar Plum Fairy UD were there. There was actually a run-off for High-In-Trial between the Novice B winner, Barbara McKennys Annons Killer Cupcake, and Sandy Winchatzs Open A winner, red and white Dover-Holihouse Fire N Ice CD, with the nod going to Sandy. H.S. Champion of Record was won by Roz Goltzs Ch. Sugar UD. Most of us were just happy to participate in such an historic event. When I came back from the Open B out- of-sight stays to see nine Pomeranians all lined up, I was close to tears.Of the 25 dogs entered, 6 are champions, several more are pointed, and 19 are champion- sired. Many colors were represented, including parti-colored and black-and-tan. It was truly an impressive turnout And I goofed, because I failed to keep everybody together long enough to get a picture of all the obedience entries.My two big disappointments as with most specialties were thatl wasnt able to watch more of the competition with 13 entries and being Obedience Chairman, its no wonder and thatlLIVING IN THE COUNTRYZoning ordinances and other limiting dog ordinances are making it more difficult for the dog fancier to pursue his hobby. Where does the obedience enthusiast go to practice in a city where dogs are banned from parks and playgrounds What does the breeder do when his locality limits the number of dogs per household to 3For many of us, the solution is to move to the country. I made this move 4 years ago. All my life Ive lived in suburbs of cities. It has taken some adjustments getting used to living in a rural area. There are advantages, of course, as well as advantages to living in the country. The disadvantages1. Youre going to have to commute to jobs, doctors, grocery stores, and dog club meetings. On average, it takes me half hour to get anywhere. My husband commutes 45 minutes to work. There are grocery stores out here but they are small and expensive. I never get in the car to do just one errand. I try to plan several errands for one trip, and usually try to plan shopping around dog classes or orthodontist appointments. I spend a lot of time behind the wheel. I use this time to mentally plan this column, a speech, lesson plans, or to mull over problems. You could also listen to tapes to learn a foreign language.2. Some expenses will go up. The most obvious in our case were the increases in the gasoline and telephone bills. Our property tax is about the same, but we have a much large house and 13 acres and a much larger mortgage. If we had bought a house of comparable size, our tax bill would have been lower.3. The flora and fauna are different. Goochland seems to be especially hospitable to an amazing variety of spiders, some of which are huge. Generally they stay out of the house, and I dont mind them. Fleas and ticks are the same as in town. We had a few mice when we first moved in, so we got a cat. But the poison I put under the stove is what probably got rid of them. A neighbor assured me that as long as there are mice and rabbits in the county, the raptors wont bother the Poms. But one day I looked out to see a large hawk sitting on the ground in the dog yard. The dogs were in the house, but I am uneasy that the predator was willing to come so close to the house.Helpful HintsCont. from page 62Deer, skunks, and possums dont look both ways before crossing the road, so you have to be alert when driving. Ive learned to look for the reflection from eyes at the edge of the road as I drive home at night.There are shudder snakes. I have a primitive and powerful dislike of the critters. The only ones Ive encountered were black snakes and garter snakes. A neighbor killed a copperhead that my daughter found in the garage. I just wish theyd stay away The thought of the dogs encountering one terrifies me. Each spring I put a band of moth crystals down outside the fence around the dog yard, and in any holes that might be snake holes. Moth crystals are camphor or paradichlorobenzene and are not water soluble. They do vaporize easily, so youll have to repeat the application about once a month. It takes 5 boxes to do my yard the fence is 150 feet long. It does seem to keep the slithering beasts away.We also have blue-tailed skinks lizards. Theyre cute they can stay.4. Youll acquire new skills. I know how to restart a balky well pump. Every other week or so I gather up all the plastic bags of trash and haul them to the country landfill. Im learning about tree diseases.5. During hunting season, lots of loose dogs run through our property. This makes my dogs bark, but the visitors don t stay long, so they dont have the opportunity to leave many calling cards.6. Everybody knows you. You may want to put this under the advantage column. At the bank or drugstore, they quickly learn your name and the sheriff probably knows your kids. The advantages1. The most obvious plus is liberal zoning ordinances. These vary widely from one jurisdiction to another, so investigate before you buy. The law is very loose here in Goochland. The leash law is only in effect during April and May, when many young animals are bom. All dogs have to be licensed. I have a 20-dog kennel license. To get it, I provide proof of rabies inoculations and pay 15. Im only eligible for this because the dogs are housed in a kennel and not in the house. I dont understand that requirement. If the rules get more restrictive2. Generally, land and houses are less expensive in rural areas than in cities and suburbs. You can afford a bigger house if you need it or more land, or offset some of your gas and phone bills with a lower mortgage.3. I dont worry about the dogs barking at any hour of the day or night. No one is going to call the sheriff about the noise. The nearest neighbors have a bawling steer from time to time.4. I have plenty of room to set up an obedience ring. Actually, I have two ring areas, and move the jumps and baby gates back and forth for variety. There are also a number of places within a couple of miles where I can go for proofing. Should I get interested in tracking dont hold your breath, there are several appropriate fields within walking distance.5. I rarely get caught in traffic jams. Out here, there is no real traffic. There are no stoplights in the whole county. When I go into the city to dog classes, all the traffic is going the other way.6. Very few people come to the door. I rarely have to contend with door-to-door salesmen or missionaries.7. The air is fresher and cleaner out here. When I get off the interstate and on the country roads, I can feel the air get cooler. At night the sky is very dark no city lights and the stars are brilliant. Its pretty out here. The snow stays white. There is a changing display of wildflow- ers to watch as I drive on my rounds. It is enchanting to stand at my kitchen sink and watch 3 deer step out of the woods into the lower backyard. They glance disdainfully at the helplessly barking Poms and continue to graze. All these things are good for the soul. There is less stress, and you cant put a price on that.If youre looking for your dream home in the country, try the following tips1. Dontrely on either the owner or the real estate agent to know the pertinent dog laws. Call the county zoning office or county planner. Even the animal control office may not have the accurate information.2. Ask about the depth of the well. Have it put in writing. Is the pump below ground level3. Will the nearest city be a local or long distance call In this section of the county, we dont dial 1, but the call does cost something.4. Locate the closest fire station, veterinarian, library, dump, grocery store, people doctor,Helpful HintsCont. from page 63as well as schools. How long will it take you to drive to the dog club Is the closest vet one that you are willing to use How about in an emergency5. Talk to other dog people who live in the same locality. Ask for pointers.A FEW QUICKIESMost of the time when I give a dog a pill, I just open the mouth, pop the pill to the back of the tongue, close the jaws, and massage the throat. Quick and easy. Occasionally, I get a dog in for breeding or boarding who resists this procedure. Over the years, Ive had dogs that could detect pills in hamburger and canned dog food. India can snatch a ball of Cheddar cheese, chew vigorously, then spit out the pill. So Ive settled on using softened cream cheese the kind that comes in plastic cups to hide pills. I am told that peanut butter works quite well.I spotted this idea in Dolores Watts kennel. Plastic storage bins make great little beds for Poms. Theyre inexpensive, usually 4 each. I found some pretty blue ones in a Sears Outlet storeforSl. Theyre easily cleaned. Somehave legs which get them up off the cold floor.nlIf your plastic shower curtain liner is showing signs of age, dont throw it away. Toss it in the washer with your white towels and bleach, then into the dryer. After 5 minutes, take it out of the dryer and fold neatly while still warm. Put it with your show equipment. I put one folded in half under my X-pen in the motel room and at indoor show sites. At outdoor shows, I wont setthats inhabited by geese. I put down the showei curtain and cover it with newspapers before setting up the X-pen. I cover the X-pen with a second shower curtain, secured with clothes pins to protect against rain or sun. If I have one that feels compelled to bark at every dog that walks by, I attach the plastic to the side of the X-pen so that the occupant will not see the other dogs, and will relax.In winter, the Poms enjoy a romp in the snow. If they are out for long, though, snowballs accumulate in the coat, and are very difficult to remove. I asked my friend Sandra if she had the sameproblem withtheTibetanTerriers. No,she said, she sprayed the coats with Pam before she let the dogs go out I havent tried it yet, but will at the first opportunity.With the Poms I always took a live-and- let-live attitude toward the holes the Poms dug. They could dig holes in their section of the yard and I could grow flowers in my part of the year. But with the Greyhound, they are not holes, they are excavations If I merely try to refill the hole, it is promptly redug. The following procedure has proved to be very effective in deterring further digging. I scoop the yard, putting all the poop in the hole. I cover that with grass clippings and pulled weeds. Then I top it off with the loose dirt from the edges of the hole. This procedure will have to be repeated several times before the ground is level.As you have read elsewhere in this issue, the Review is going to 6 issues. That means two more deadlines moan.

DouglasDes Moines, IA 50317 515 266-8995The Pearl of Great Priceby Patricia M. CraryA horse breeder once told me, A good mare gives more than half to her foal. This was a knowledgeable man, a long-time successful breeder. I started to object - genetically the inheritance gift must be half. No, he went on to say, At the instant that the egg is fertilized, they have each given one half, stud and mare. But from that point on, it is the mares own healthy body that nourishes that newly created life. At the instant of fertilization, that organism acquired its total potential. From then on, realization of that potential will be up to the dam.Thisisastrueforthe brood bitch as it is for the mare. Man, the breeder of record, will assume the responsibility only at some time after the actual birth, and if that responsibility MUST be taken very early in the young life, it is very possible that no matter how diligent the care, it shall never provide what could have been derived from a healthy, temperamentally sound dam providing from her own body the perfect diet, warmth and security.The creation of a fine brood bitch must begin generations before the day she first whelps. Not only must she come from stock notable for beauty of form and movement, stability of temperament ideal for her breed, but there should be also behind her, generations of dams and grand- dams who whelped easily, normally, and who nourished their litters without assistance, who never slackened their attention to the cleanliness and safety of their broods.Laziness and weakness in the whelping box, enough to make the surgical birth. Caesarean section, necessary, and irresponsible maternal attitudes, seem to be inherited. A bitch puppy whelped naturally in peaceful, comfortable surroundings, given the proper care by her dam from the first anxious lick, seems also to be programmed for performance of the same duties when her turn comes.Modem veterinary medicine coupled with the know how of the experienced breeder, have today made it possible to save many a pup, even many a litter, that would a few decades past, never have lived to maturity. This becomes a mixed blessing for it enables us to preserve the constitutionally inferior animal and from it propagate a weakened strain. The medical skills that can save the strone dud from eDidemic viraloften employed to preserve life that nature has marked as inadequate for continuance of therace. That body beautiful brought precariously into this world and maintained here solely through human effort and against natures will to eliminate the weak, may well survive to pass many essential weaknesses throughout subsequent generations.Trust a good bitch If she has six strong wiggling greedy beasties filled with the unlimited urge to survive, fighting for their nourishment, thriving, dont be upset about that seventh one that she has shoved off into a cool comer to expire. If she has been handling her personal affairs up to this point suitably, assume she knows something you dont know. Let that one go. And that littlest one who cant seem to hang onto a tit - let it go Many a tiny one is as unbudgeable as is the biggest in the litter. Vigor and ability to survive is unallied with size, large or small.Long ago in the eager altruistic early days of my dog breeding experience, it was a matter of pride to save them all. And many a time I was successful. One little female that I remember especially, had to be fed minute quantities of food every 2 hours. Because she had thus become very dear to my heart as a result of our battle together, I gave her to a very good home. Within four months she had succumbed to the worst all- over case of red mange I have ever seen while her siblings grew fat and hairy, she grew bald and scarred. I recommended euthanasia but her owners persisted in the most time-consuming care. At the age of 2 12 years, after finally achieving an orderly estral cycle, she kicked the mite and haired out almost completely except for a few areas permanently scarred as a result of secondary bacterial infections. Very much against my advice, they bred her.Slow, difficult labor produced two pups and a C-section the remaining four, of which one was dead, another dying. Massive infections followed and ultimately onepup survived. Afew months later the bitch did finally have to be euthanised because of almost complete paralysis from back trouble. Full and half sisters of this same bitch, out of the same dam, bitches vigorous and strong from birth on, are the best whelpers, the strongest, fiercest, most infection-resistant members of my kennel gang. With less detail, I will say that something like this did have to happen more than once before I became a bePearl of Great PriceCont. from page 67liever. Now when someone mentions a lot of trouble with a litter, I ask questions about the bitchs family and make a mental note to follow the reproductive career of the survivors. Far too often is the sad story repeated in varying forms.The inherent weaknesses having to do with reproductive capacity express themselves differently in the male. The undescended testicles is one thing the low or nonexistent sperm count another. The breed as a whole is luckier than the individual proud owners when a terrific performer in the ring fails to reproduce himself. It suffers sorely when the constitutionally inadequate male that has been kept alive at all cost and raised to maturity because of his famous parentage and sheer external beauty does succeed in reproducing himself prodigiously. We didnt want to lose the bloodline, may betheexcuse.If that bloodline is essentially sturdy, this weakling will not honor it, and if not, then chances are that this line is one that nature, if left to her own devices, would have canceled some generations earlier.There is a bonus benefit. Inherent constitutional vigor carries with it in both the male and the female the ability to resist infection, disease and even severe parasitical infestation. The animal will flesh out and grow glossy coated with only a good maintenance diet, not requiring a superfluity of dietary supplements as it is able to extract the maximum available in the food ingested. It will adjust readily to extremes of heat and cold, thus it willrequire less artificial heating and cooling in the kennel. This in turn reduces chances of illness from changes of weather and temperature in the course of shipping and traveling to shows. This healthy animal will cost you a lot less in time and money to keep in top condition and may even spare you the heartache of an early demise with possible disruption of carefully formulated breeding plans.So, if your bitch is beautiful AND healthy, strong and natural in her breeding behavior, talented in the performance of her maternal duties, trust her Pick your winners from the healthiest of her offspring. HONOR her - she will honor you - this pearl of great priceEditors note This article was retrieved from the October 1982 issue of Pom Review. I found it very thought provoking, thus worthy ofI Remember Whenby Dorothy BonnerPomeranians are not yard dogs and my customers are warned accordingly. A fence is a necessary convenience for a supervised period, but a hazard otherwise. An adventure-prone dog soon wonders what is on the other side and will squeeze out of the tiniest, most impossible hole. If he is confident with a discovered climbing ability, the little rascal can surmount almost any height as easily as his owner can climb a ladder. Then, jumping from the top may cause an injury. Also, some one is sure to open the gate and leave it open, which could be fatal, especially if you are not at home. Once your Pom loses his fence protection, his life is in immediate danger. He is lucky if the first person contacted picks him up, as the first dog he meets will probably kill him, or the first car he meets will run over him. Why all of the bigger dogs want to kill Poms is not clear, but they do Care must be taken, even at shows, as another dog has been known to jump up and grab a Pom out of the handlers arms, seeing more resemblance to a cat, possibly.If left in the yard alone, your Pom may be stolen, just as any other valuable item, with only a small chance of recovery, if enough reward is offered. One time I read in the Lost and Found that a 1,000 reward had been offered for a lost mongrel pet. I wished later that I had introduced myself to such caring people, and determined the outcome.For greater safety, one of my friends, who owned several Poms, put a lock on her backyard gate to keep neighborhood children from opening it as they played with the dogs through the fence. One day an enamored four-year-old desired closer contact, so his older sister boosted him over the fence. The Poms backed off, barking, until he started running, a game close to their hearts. As they pursued him, one enthusiastic chaser, carried away in the fun, nipped the intruder on the leg, barely breaking the skin. My friend, hearing the commotion, rushed out of the house to the rescue as the sister was pulling the loudly bellowing victim over the fence. His furious parents called the police, then took him to the hospital. Later, they sued and COLLECTEDWould-be purchasers are always ques- Continued on nave SOIi^LoViiig MEMoxyEthe.C fttzvoocC De.ncCy 111007 - 8290Editor's Note The following tribute was forwarded to Pom Review by K.G. Griffith, Lenette Poms.How many Pom breeders do you know that everyone likes them and always, something nice is said about them Truly this can be said about Mrs. Dendy. Everyone loved and respected Ethel Dendy. She was another mother to those of us who were privileged to know her personally.I lost my mother when I was 21 years of age, so I sort of adopted Ethel Dendy and Ruth Beam as my new mothers. Ethel Dendy was always wanting to do for others. Even after she could hardly see, she still wanted to do for her friends. I can remember a few weeks ago when Eleanor and I took her over to her new church and she had bought the new steeple and she wanted to see it. Of course, with her eyesight, she couldnt see very good but still just being there was a real blessing to her and us as well.She was one of the most unselfish persons I have ever known. Always helping, always loving, always caring. I think Mrs. Dendy will best be remembered for her loving kindness as opposed to her breeding of Poms. This is not to take away from her ability to breed good Poms because many Pom pedigrees list Dendy Poms. She owned two Best in Show Poms but her absolute favorite was Ch. Dendys Miracle Boy. She bred this dog herself. When you walked into her den, there on the wall was a giant oil painting of his beautiful head. That magnificent picture now hangs in my office. I am so grateful to the family for letting me have this picture.So many times I would have a small weak puppy and Ethel would raise it for me. She had her own milk formula that she thought was the very best. I never argued with her over this because she always seemed to be able to raise those runts that I could not raise.Ethel Dendy, you will be missed much more than words can express. Our tears of sadness that we have today will someday be replaced with tears of joy as we hug each other again when we meet in Gods Heaven. I anxiously await that reunion.Letters To Sharonby Nancy HargesEditors Note The following article was submitted by Margaret McKee. This is Margarets input The following article came from Gazehound. a wonderful but now defunct magazine. Dont be put off by the fact that it talks about Greyhounds. It deals with two subjects which are very important to Pomeranian owners anesthesia and the relationship between owner and veterinarian. There is an informative article on current anesthesia technology in the March '90 AKC Gazette. If you haven't read it, try to borrow a copy or perhaps Bruce could get permission to reprint it.On the subject of your vet, it is absolutely essential that you have a vet that listens to your opinion, respects your knowledge and experience, and doesn't talk to you as if you were a simpleton." Hot long ago we got a call from our friend Sharon in the midwest. She was calling to report having repeated a breeding in which we had great interest. It seems it was just yesterday, but actually it was two years ago, that we sold S haron a Greyhound puppy that seems destined to be the beginning of a long-time interest in the breed. We expect it will be an association of benefit to the breed as she has rapidly parlayed her enthusiasm, prior experience in another breed, and that one puppy into a solid start as a breeder-exhibitor. It has been a process we have been pleased to watch and proud to assist. Sharon finished that first youngster in good order to the sound of our long-distance applause. She persisted in showing him despite the relative scarcity of class competition in her area - traveling far to chase points, and acquiring an incredible group placement from the puppy class along the way.The next order of business was a bitch to breed to her Tobi and this materialized in the shape of Carrier - a grown champion bitch who had been the dog who came to dinner at our house. Carrie is a lovable lummox who is dear to us because she came to us from the dispersal of a late friend s kennel. But her exuberant affections and opinionated conviction about the use of our living room as a racetrack made her seem better suited to the roomier environment of mid-western fields and pastures. Besides, maternityher zealous mothering of an orphaned litter for a marathon 16 weeks. So with a kiss on the head and a sigh of relief, wepackedheroffto beTobis bride and went home to repair the floor and await further development.In due time Carrie came in season and was bred to Tobi and we all expectantly awaited the blessed event. As the time drew nearer communications between Pennsylvania and Iowa became more frequent and frantic as Sharon kept us posted on the increasing size of Carries girth and her vets incredulous responses to some of our motherly advice about Greyhound whelpings. Frequently, I sat down in utter frustration over our inability to be on hand, to commit to paper the experiences behind some of our practices so that Sharon could share them with her vet. This seems particularly important to use because as much as we wanted to share in the benefits of our knowledge and experience, we knew that in the end the responsibility for making decisions about Carrie would devolve on Sharon and her vet and that a clear understanding and unanimity of purpose between them was of primary concern.I remember there was much philosophizing in our house at the time around this issue of cooperation between breeders and veterinarians in matters of whelping. We have come a cropper on this issue ourselves and friends in dogs report similar experiences. It is a very strange and sad dilemma. What do you do when the advice of your professionally trained and long respected veterinarian, with whom you have always trusted the lives of you dogs, conflicts with your own informed opinion based on years of experience with your breed Do you follow the advice of the vet or insist on the power of veto over hisher actions Its a very sticky issue hedged around with myriad considerations, all tending in the unfortunate direction of converting from a cooperative relationship to an adversary one. From the vets point of view there can be little doubt which opinion should have precedence. Who in this situation has the years of training and license to practice veterinary medicine Which one of you has the repetitive and successful experience with the exact procedure that is being recommended These are strong, indeed irrefutable arguments. On the other side, the breeder has intimate experience with the breed, which the vet has not. He has attended many more whelpings than the vet and raised many more puppies. He has been in contact with others in his breed allDan Dees Proudly PresentsCH. DAN DEES MR. ROBERTSHandled by Nadine HersilRobby, an extremely sound dog, finishing as a puppy. He is out of Ch.

Those are the practical issues nvolved but they are not the only ones.This sort of negotiation inevitably be- omes emotionally charged. Both parties have heir egos on the line in terms of being in control if the situation and any unresolved questions of ielf-esteem on either side can make a productive ind cooperative relationship impossible. Then oo, responsibility is an important consideration. Hie veterinarian who has confidence in hisher irofessional judgment may understandably define to participate if not permitted to treat solely it his own discretion. The breeder on the other land is most directly responsible for the animals hat belong to him. If whatever treatment used las an unfortunate outcome we all understand vho it is that digs the grave. Sometimes for that rery reason neither wishes to have the final esponsibility in the decision making process.Some years ago we were privy to a sad sxperience that changed forever our attitudes and that of our vet about such decision making. [Tirough a peculiar series of circumstances, a fiend came unexpectedly and suddenly into the ossession of a Greyhound bitch who was both leavily in whelp and badly infested with hook- vorms, whipworms, and coccidia. Consultation vith the vet resulted in the following dilemma lue to her advanced state of pregnancy, it was inlikely she could survive worming due to her leavy parasitic load she was also unlikely to urvive whelping, further her already debilitated ondition and prior experiences with Grey- lounds in surgery rendered the only out, surgical ntervention, unacceptable. The wrangle that snsued over what course of action to take was a eflection of the desperation of the situation. In he face of overwhelming odds that the bitch vould die regardless of all efforts, it seemed tre- nendously important to grasp whatever option night be the one chance in a million. For reasons can no longer recall, the vet cast his vote in favor f letting the bitch whelp with maximum suppor- ive care followed by immediate worming. The wner felt impelled to try aborting and spayingther depleted. I, in touch with the situation only by long distance telephone, could offer commiseration and moral support but not advice. Ultimately the owner was convinced to let the vet make his own call. The bitch quite predictably died despite heroic efforts to save her and out of that holocaust came a clear understanding that we all now share. When there is doubt of how to proceed and the risk of error is great, if it is your dog then it is your responsibility, your risk, your decision.I am sure that many people would disagree, but though I cannot claim to know much about veterinary medicine there are some things I know a lot about that pertain to some veterinary decisions. No veterinarian would claim to be infallible and if we once concede that it is possible for him to err in his judgment then it becomes plausible to assume that he might do so in the presence of a breeder who is aware of the error because of knowledge and experience which were never part of the vets training. Obviously these instances will be rare but when they occur it is the responsibility of the breeder to use his special knowledge to the maximum advantage of his dogs. The possibility of this kind of exchange presupposes a very special relationship between breeder and vet - one based on mutual respect. It is not something that can be instantly created on an emergency basis but must be built on a foundation of long term cooperation.There are many good books from which the novice can glean excellent general information on the management of whelping bitches and newborn puppies. But it is up to the breeders to share the benefits of their breed specialized experience. For this reason I felt it was worthwhile to write those letters to Sharon. For the same reason I will share them with our readers and encourage their breeds individual behaviors and the ways they deal with them. It would be very easy for those who have specialized in one breed to be unaware of how unique their experience has been. I had others to also share their knowledge of attended three Greyhound whelp- ings before I was present at the birth of a German Shepherd litter, and I was amazed at what a totally different experience it was. Subsequent discussions with others confirmed my dawning perceptions that what is average in one breed is extreme in another.The most obvious peculiarity of the Greyhound whelpings I have attended is the timeLetters To SharonCont. from page 73factor. Our bitches and those of friends are in no hurry. Eighteen and twenty four hour whelpings seem typical. One friends bitch took a full day to deliver a litter of three. There didnt seem to be any problem - just a nice long rest between puppies. This kind of extended resting periods seems standard for the breed. I imagine it has resulted in numerous Ceasarian sections that were not really necessary because neither novice breeder or vet knew about the leisurely habits of this breed. Because of the lengthiness of the procedure we have always felt that whelping was at least a two man job no one person can stay awake let alone be effective for the entire marathon. At the very least one person who knows ho w to help is required plus an assistant to stand guard while you sleep and punch you awake if anything happens. After about twelve hours of this you begin to look at the bitch cross-eyed and wonder if she will ever be done. Of course, there are all the standard tricks to try like taking the bitch for a walk or putting the strongest pups to nurse which may bring on contractions and the delivery of a slow comer. But mostly its just waiting for what seems like an eternity, punctuated all too infrequently by the flurry of activity that announces the arrival of another puppy. Most of the activity by the way, will be yours, as the Greyhound bitches we have known are notoriously lazy about their natal chores. Barbara and I have developed a marvelous team approach to this job. She looks at them to see if they are breathing and rubs them dry if they are. Ifnotshe pronounces them dead and chucks them over her shoulder into the trash. My part is to dive in after them and try to revive them, a task Ive gotten rather good at because I tumble them about pretty roughly in a towel on the supposition that you canthurtadead puppy. Ive been pretty successful and I havent broken any puppy ribs yet. Barbara claims my persistence is carried to extremity. Despite her pleasure at their reclamation she feels Ive pummeled many that were distinctly blue and a few in much worse shape. I must confess some of them did smell a bit off and I think its my lack of other-breed experience that lends strength to my conviction that if I keep at it long enough theyll wake up. Barbara says she saw a lower percentage of stillboms and slow starters in Shepherds and Dobes. We speculateexplainedby the greatly protracted whelping that perhaps results in loss of oxygen supply to some of the whelps.What makes these occasions such nerve stretchers is that inevitably in the wee hours you start wondering if the bitch is going to be able to finish this job by herself. You start imagining that she is exhausted and suffering from uterine inertia - or is she just dozing and laughing at your discomfort Should you wait, should you use oxytocin, should you rush her to the vet for a C- section Maybe you should sit down and have a martini and think this thing through first. We consider a thermometer our most valuable whelping aid. We take temperature twice a day around due date to catch the drop that signals approaching labor. Once the labor begins we take temperature readings every half hour unless the bitch is in active labor and obviously about to produce a puppy. I know it sounds awfully fussy and bothersome but there is reason for this madness. We expect that the reading will be at or below normal throughout whelping. Any rise is a danger sign. It we see a sharp increase we being to check even more frequently as the increase can be alarmingly rapid once it begins. Any approach to 102 degrees signals grave concern and 102 degrees or over an immediate distress call to the vet. We monitor this so precisely because it seems to be a good indicator of uterine Inertia which has not been infrequent in our experience and because we have learned that a bitch with a high fever is a poor surgical risk in the event a caesarian is required and not a good prognosis for any remaining unbom pups.I would advise caution to anyone considering the use of hormones to stimulate contractions. Before we whelped our first joint Greyhound litter we sought and received a great deal of advice from fellow fanciers and the veterinary profession - most of it pretty scary .Some advised us that the use of oxytocin or pituitrin was fatal in Greyhounds. We and our vet were incredulous as they are commonly used and we didnt really think that our breed was exotic enough to have a wholey different biochemistry. One well respected older vet explained that overdoes of these drugs can cause shock and might cause death in an animal whose reduced tolerance might give a normal amount the effect of an overdose. He advised a greatly reduced dosage which could safely be administered at shorter intervals than the usual dosage as an experimensetters To Sharon2onL from page 74tl course. We followed his advice and used 110 c at 30 minute intervals with good results. We rere also cautioned not to use ergotin for this urpose but there was little danger as we didnt ven know what it was.It is the question of caesareans that is most cklish. Considerations of both how and when recomplex. Whilenosurgicalprocedureisever particularly attractive option, any surgery on a Ireyhound is even less so. A considerable mount of material has been written about what oor anesthetic subjects sighthounds, and Grey- ounds in particular, seem to be. Our own xperience supports the need for this concern and ur consultations with researchers in the field ave yielded no immediate solutions. I would aution against too heavy reliance on methods 3und successful with track dogs as they do not hare all of the quirks of our show hands, being 3 a large extent a separate breed. One very romising approach for a safe anesthetic proce- ure is epidural anesthesia. This is commonly iferred to as spinal. I have discussed this dth Dr. Klide of the University of Pennsylvania nd offered my support to his efforts to obtain iinds to test this method with sighthounds. I ave high hopes that this method will prove safe nd effective for my breed but even if these taterialize, they offer little immediate help. The iason, as my local vet patiently explained, is that lthough this technique is taught in veterinary chools it is not often used in general practice and not considered a safe technique for those who re unpracticed in its use. We have now found a et who uses a combination of nitrous oxide and alothan to bypass the need for a pre-anesthetic gent. Since these agents, usually barbiturates, re suspected to be at the core of the anesthesia roblem, we are hoping this will prove a safe rocedure. Another piece of insurance recom- tended by some vets and insisted upon by us is le use of intravenous fluids throughout the surety. I cant think of any reasons why it ought to e needed by a healthy animal but it seems to help ar all of that. Possible justification may be found l the fact that I have tentatively observed that the Irey hounds drink more than our Dobermans and jnd to dehydrate more readily under any kind of tress.ought to be all set, right Wrong This is where we go around again because you take this to you vet and he says, Fine, but that isnt how I work, this other thing is what I use and I dont know how to use anything else and besides what I do always works and that woman is probably a crackpot and what does she know about veterinary medicine anyway All of what he says is undoubtedly true and 100 justified and leaves you with the choice of holding your breath and betting that the vet is right or finding a vet whose procedure seems less fraught with danger. If you really like your vet you will probably choose the first option just as we initially did. Subsequently, dissatisfied with our batting average, we reluctantly and regretfully chose the second. How well it will work out for use, only time and experience will tell.Then there is the question of when to do a C-section. Because of the unusual risks you will consider this an undesirable option to be used only as a lastresort. On the other hand, if the bitch has many puppies, whelps slowly and has a hard time, you run the risk of postponing a call for surgery if it turns out to be need past the point where the bitch is already too exhausted to be a good surgical candidate. This is one instance where the vet definitely make the call. You will have to discuss in advance what conditions will constitute a probable call for surgery. If you have done your homework he will understand that a long layover between puppies is typical of your breed and not by itself a danger sign, and can judge accordingly. Ideally and ideal conditions here are hard to come by because the vet is busy and also has a life you will have notified him of the bitchs due date in the hopes he can then be available and discussed you options if he is not. Alert him again when temperature drops and when labor begins. If all goes well, you may be checking in for a post partum examination 24 hours or more later. If you get in trouble, you may be calling for help in 2,8, or 12 hours - long after bitches of most breeds would have finished. But have mercy on the vet. I know one Greyhound bitch who was C-sectioned after 12 hours of labor. She may well have needed the surgery but our speculation is that her owners frantic calls throughout the night might have had something to do with it too. The poor fellow probably thought he would never sleep again till those puppies were bom.Letters To SharonCont. from page 75On the occasion of our first C-section, our vet taught us something Id never read or heard anywhere. He invited us to stand by and get the puppies going, explaining that they would be bom anesthetized and would need help in breathing at first He surely was right He gave us those puppies as they came and 6 of them kept three of us really busy rubbing. They were like cold engines - you could get them started but getting them to stay started was another story. After an hours work it was evident that they were all going to stay lit. Our experience convinced me that a squad of puppy pummelers is required at such times.One final pint it is not surprising that Greyhounds, who are so slow maturing, are consistently so throughout the entire life cycle. They are puppies till nearly 2. Males testicles may descend from 3 to 12 months and bitches have first seasons generally 18-24 months. Maturity finally comes at about 4. In line with this, newborn Greyhounds seem less mature than some other breeds. I think the responses of 3-4 days old Greyhound puppies are equivalent to hours old Dobermans. So they need some extra help at first. I ve held many a puppy on the nipple for its first few nursings until the sucking reflex was firmly established and we are extra careful of possible chills since internal temperature control seems to be slow in coming. We also work very hard to nutritional support. Purina Veal Chow, a milk replacer for calves, is rich and inexpensive staple, great for supplementing bitches and puppies. Honey is a fine pick up food for the bitch during labor it strikes us as a good idea to give her some calories to travel on since she has a long hard task and for puppies, but Nutri-Cal, which you can get from you vet, is better. It is super concentrated, instantly digestible food that can be easily gotten down the apathetic or the reluctant yet it is taken greedily by those disposed to eat. We are also firm believers in the use of puppy vitamins and use them from the very beginning. Liquid infant vitamins are fine but much better is a magic formula you can get from your vet. It is a dark brown goo that goes under the name of Diamino 4X and puppies like the taste well enough to mug you for it a sharp contrast to the bitter taste of baby vitamins. Wei---------------- vi- jcc-- -----notto say that the Greyhound puppies are frail - just needful of some understanding of their needs till they catch up to more precocious pups.Ive shared these ideas and experiences not so much to enlighten novice Greyhound fanciers I really could have written personally to all nine of them and there are others who could do the job better. as to encourage the sharing of observations between people who are experts in their separate breeds. I think it would give us all a helpful perspective to get a peek at each others unique experiences.Yips YapsKudos to the members friends of the Pon Club of Greater Baltimore.

She went BIS junior puppy at a recent all-breed fun match. Her guard hair must be six inches long, HOWEVER, she will NOT be sculptured.

Again, I will try to be more careful and thanks for keeping me straight.Dear Bruce,I have had the good fortune of obtaining many old editions of the Pom Review dating back to 1961. I started going through them and could not put them down Being fairly new to Poms, my first one being 612, which I started in Fun Matches, I knew about pedigrees, but could never really find photos of the dogs and people tophotos of Anna LaFortune and fell in love with the famous dog she bred, Ch. Sungolds Gay Cavalier. The edition in which all of his offspring wished him a Happy 13th Birthday in 1971 was very appealing.In going over the April 1983 issue, I came across the photo of Ch. Queenaire Gambling Dude and his offspring from the Stud Dog Class of the NCPC Specialty how I wish I could have been there to see him and his seven champions and two soon-to-be champion kids all in the ring at once. I am sure that was a sight Especially since most of my own Poms descends from these dogs.These old Pom Reviews ended up being an education to me, going back to Great Elms Tims topper and all of his offspring. I had heard of the names, but to see their photos and those of their owners was quite a treat I am beginning to feel not so ignorant when the old-timers quote Great Elms, Com Dukes, Bonners, Millamore and Watts lines, to name a few.I know the current arguments are whether or notto overtrim. I thought this was a new problem until I came across a letter in the Yips and Yaps in a 1978 edition that ponders the same problem. If this has been going on for 12 years or longer, why is it still a problem If an owner wants to overtrim a dog, let them take the chances with the judging. Not every judge is going to put up an overtrimmed dog, thus, once it is cut off, they cannot put it back on. In a recent specialty show, I saw some otherwise beautiful Poms that looked like little weed patches with hair dragging the ground, hair on the tail so long it fell over to one side and generally gave the Poms an ungroomed appearance. There should be a happy medium, but with the different coat textures we come across, Idoubtthis will ever beresolved. Tipping of unruly guard hairs all over the body has been done for many years which is evident in the photographs of Poms in the old Reviews. I am sure all long-haired breeds have the same problem we do with how far is too far, especially in looking at the Maltese, Pekingese, Yorkies, etc. No two are trimmed alike. The ultimate decision will be the j udges, thus the most winning dog will very likely be trimmed in an overall pleasing manner neither overtrimed, nor weed-patch looking. The Top Pom and Top Toy for 1989,Yips YapsCont. fromCh. Tm-Sues Harbor Lights would be a very good example, in my opinion. Never overtrimmed, yet very pleasing to look at. Sorry, did not mean to preach on such an old, tired subject.Along serious lines, does anyone kow what can be done for a dog with a collapsed trachea Either medication or surgery I have inherited a Pom after his owner tragically died and I have been told to put the dog down. He is only six years old and a full brother to my first champion that decision would be hard for me to make. I may have to make it again in the future, as I intend to keep my current dogs forever can anything be done I believe this problem is prevalent in our breed and if anyone has a cure, either real or temporary, I would appreciate knowing of it.Janet Manuszak Odyssey PomeraniansDear Editor,Im writing in response to Gerald Kripaks letter entitled Another Companion. I hope he and others can benefit from my years of experience at making mistakes.Here is a list of rules to follow when buying a dog1. Educate yourself. Know the standard, hereditary defects, and structures of your breed. Learn at least enough to carry on a conversation with a breeder they know if youre green and will take advantage of you. Teach yourself to see quality as well as faults. You can buy a good dog if you know what one is.2. Look before leaping. Look at several puppies and visit many kennels before you decide.3. Listen for clues. Dishonest breeders give away clues. Train yourself to hear not just what you want to hear. All dogs have faults. The perfect dog, when he is bom, will not be for sale, let alone for 400. Stay away from bargains. Reputable breeders are concerned where their puppies are going, they ask several questions about your intentions. Dishonest breeders are concerned with making a sale, period. Personality will often give them away. How lax are they about cleanliness, genetics, temperament, structural defects, PRA, OFA, etc. Some justwant to KrtWI nitp fnrhalls anH snmp. arf hnnpage784. Tell yourself there is no guarantee. This will keep you from relying on the word of a stranger. Guarantees are barely better than nothing. By all means get one, read it, rewrite it until you feel confortable, and honor your part. Then file it If you have the money, they may be of some help in court. Remember, the breeder must state everything that is guaranteed, word for word. Id like to hear from breeders what should be in a good contract.5. Dont ship. I drove 1,300 miles one way to find out all the males in a litter had one testicle. Shed have shipped it that way. Testicles have a way of getting lost on the plane talk about lost luggage.6. Be aggresive. Dont be intimidated by Mr. Big Name Breeder. If he is pushing this pet quality dog at you, stand up and say, If this is the best thing youve got to show me. Ill be leaving now. I dont care how far you drive or how many BISS dogs hes bred, you dont need it7. Be realistic. No one will sell you a top show dog until you have shown a few successfully. Some breeders do sell very exceptional dogs to proven show homes, but they cost money. Stay away from bargains.I have purchased good dogs from fine people. Chin up, they exist. You have to look for them, and you get better with experience. Good luck and happy hunting.Linda Boothe Granby, MOP.S. I must say that overall, Pom breeders are the best people in the dog world. Things are much worse in other breeds. Most Pom breeders are doing this for the breed they love and I respect them even more when I sit up til 4 a.m. waiting for that one breech puppy to arrive into this world.To The Members Of The American Pomernian ClubIt has come to my attention that when a member of APC turned in gate and banquet funds from the February Specialty to the treasurer, he informed the treasurer that he had kept approximately 500 to cover his expenses. He provided a list of his expenses which included the rental ofI Remember WhenCont from page 68tioned here about what had happened to then- previous pets, negotiations following accordingly. Most folks are somewhat insulted when I explain that any worry of their carelessness cannot be present in the deal as I had already experienced the trauma of birth followed by constant care to insure a bouncing, healthy specimen with an expectation of a long and happy life.Pomeranians are not toys for children, although many people think that they would go well together. Although no small youngsters live in the future home, there will be grandchildren and visitors. In this case, the pet should be put in another part of the house, after a period of introduction and supervised play. As long as they will sit on the floor, children make wonderful socializes, their attention being enjoyed. But running feet, slamming doors, and all of the robust childish activities contribute to a short life for such a small playmate.A remark made by a hopeful purchaser is vivid in my memory and will always influence me, as she was trying to rectify why her last, briefly owned pet had succumbed through carelessness. This one was given to me, but I would be more careful with a puppy that I bought The confession made me realize that the greater the initial cost, the more appreciation and care, demonstrating that the price is the Poms greatest protection.Yips YapsCont from page 79a limousine and over 400 in telephone bills When this was reported to the Board of Directors, the Board refused to take action.No one should be reimbursed in cash.

I have been told that the member refused to provide receipts when asked. Never mind asking forreceipts, the Board should have demanded that the money be returnedThe Board has failed in its fiduciary responsibility in not doing so. This is particularly hard to understand in light of recentproblems in trying to get the APC books in order and the discovery that funds have been lost The officers and members of the Board have a duty to take action on this matter and report all facts to the membership.Sincerely yours,Margaret R.

Hutton 102 Tudor Lane Lansing, MI 48906This article will contain no statistics, no newtitles, no brags from around the country. We will instead, focus our attention on sharing with you the marvelous and stupendous event that was the 1ST OBEDIENCE TRIAL held by the Pomeranian Club of Greater Baltimore, July 5, 1990. Attending with me was Mary Jones of DeFord, Michigan with her dog Foxy Lady Jenny Jones, CDX, Can. CD.Firstly, the directions to the location and the ease of finding it were terrific. Arriving on the loop around Baltimore was a real trip driving in Detroit seems like a breeze in comparison. Funny how driving 60 the speed limit is 55, but you might get run off the road at that speed in a major city a long distance from home seems more likedriving90 Once arriving on the beltway, we just followed the directions. The Holiday Inn was right next to the exit, visible from a long way off, and was a very reassuring sight after a drive of approximately 600 miles. Entering their parking lot Wednesday, the 4th of July about 2 p.m., it almost seemed as if getting here couldnt possibly be this easy.The next thing we knew, we were parked World right here Oh boy, we cant believe we ri really here and can hardly wait to see more o these gorgeous dogs. Olga obviously didnt sei me drooling over the chance to see this superstar and they disappeared while we got directions t our room. Unloading was a bit unhandy, bu thanks to our early arrival, we were able to get ground floor room. Our obedience dogs are use to grass when it comes to exercising bodil functions, and the thought of a 3rd or 4th floo room was somewhat less than appealing. Afte moving into our room we had everything but thi proverbial kitchen sink we went scoutinj around.The obedience get-together called Sil Stay and Talk was scheduled for 4 p.m. to bi held in the grooming room. Mary Vickers gavi a presentation and told us what was happeninj with other clubs holding obedience trials, that wi still dontknow when the APC will be licensed ti hold a trial, and there will probably be a trial witl the local specialty in Oklahoma City in thi summer of91 the day before the APC specialty She also had a video tape of a TV program abou a man with Poms in Canada who visits nursin homes and does other wonderful things witl them that was very charming. For me it wa disappointing that there wasnt more obediena people present for this get together, but those o us there had a good time.In a very special surprise appearance, wi were also happy to have Daniel and Margare Ontiveros at the meeting. They had come all thi way from San Diego, California to the specialty partially because they were interested in seeinj the obedience. Even more important, they wan to leant how they can enable the San Dieg Pomeranian Club to become licensed to hol their own trial. If we learned only one thing fron the meeting, it was Contact AKC for all thi information you need for procedures and re quirements to hold a trial. They write the bool and they set the rules. If your club is at al interested in holding trials, write AKC. They] be more than happy to send you everything yoi need.After the meeting broke up, we all headei upstairs to the hospitality room for what tumei out to be a great dinner. The suite was packei with both people and food. Just about everythin] you might have wanted was available, and evei those of us on diets found lots of stuff to have aninrtt Ka trtv nonnlihA 'I'ha nruin 11 qI \nt inhObedience NewsCont from page 86e hall where Mary Jones, Lilae Shope, Judy reen, and I had our own obedience get-together. re visited and chatted until we realized it was string dark and we all still wanted to work dogs the parking lots for a few minutes.I brought a set of toy-size portable jumps ith me which everyone had a chance to use. The t comes with 3 broad jump boards, 3' wide hich comprise the three sides of a holding box r the rest of the set. It has 4-30" uprights which t into 4 floor pieces. There are 2 pegs for the 3' und bar to rest on and the high jump is abar with piece of canvas attached which rolls like a blind the height you want Several people asked here to get a set It was purchased three years o from Garadun Sales Incorporated, Indus- ial Road, Unit 5, Shelburne, Ontario, Canada 3N ISO, 519 925-6668. At the time it was tout 125 Canadian dollars. The man who sells em usually has a booth at the London, Ontario uster in mid-October. If you happen to be up at way and want to see them, plan to enter reed or obedience.By about 930, we must have had 15 Poms the parking lot doing anything from scent scrimination, high jumps, directed jumping, op on recall, heeling, hand signals, retrieves, id brace, to group sit and down stays and stand ir examination. It was a very thrilling sight for e as you just dont see Poms in obedience in [ichigan very often. It really took some adjust- g to realize that you were just one of the gang id didnt really stand out in the crowd anymore.Watching the training methods employed as very interesting, too. At an all-breed trial u see warm ups consisting of everything om yelling, jerking like crazy, prong collars riding behind the trees, or a boot up the rear to ijoling, food motivation and just plain begging jgs to work today. Watching us, from different irts of the country, it was amazing how uni- irmly we trained our dogs. Virtually everyone as doing what I think of as Bauman methods ere very loving while being firm in requests, ilping the dogs rather than punishing them for icorrect responses, and overall, I thought very ntle with the dogs. That does not mean to say ere abunch of wimps. Corrections were given, it they were not indiscriminate or inappropri- e. After 45 minutes or so of working, everyonerooms to rest up for the big day ahead.Thursday came with the typical weather wed been warned about, hot and humid 104 degrees and 95 humidity. We didnt go outside except for the dogs calls of nature, and the dogs did those very efficiently. Inside it wasnt exactly 60 degrees, but was very bearable and most of the time very comfortable. Everyone seemed to be quite excited to be there. The PCGB gave each exhibitor a wonderful goodie bag of treats for both the dogs and their owners when we picked up our armbands. Included were many different samples of dog food and treats, balloons, nik-naks, a pill holder, key chains, and other goodies. The outer bag containing the goodies also included an inner cloth bag, handmade with an applique Pom stitched on the front thatwasjustbeautiful. We also received a packet which included an issue of Poms on Parade, an issue of Dog Fancy the one with Prince Charming on the cover, of course, assorted advertisements, a note book and pen and other literature. When we arrived in our room, there was even a bottle of Perrier for each of us with a welcoming card attached. I just cant say enough about how thoughtful the PCGB was in thinking of all the little extras.The morning started with the 7 Utility entries and 11 Open B entries. Watching the dogs go through their routines, I was struck by how similar most of the exhibitors appeared in the way they worked their dogs. Most had a fairly smooth gait something I find very difficult to achieve and moved along at a fairly rapid pace. In seeing that, it was absorbing to note that a few exhibitors moved VERY slowly, as if afraid the little dog along side would not be able to keep up. A few moved just the opposite, taking a stride worthy of a German Shepherd. However, no matter the length of stride and speed, the dogs were trained to work at that pace and the teams looked very smooth together.It also struck me that when it came to jumping, there was probably a 5050 breakdown of dogs who were confident, smooth jumpers and those who appeared to have jumping problems. Since I didnt take notes, I couldnt begin to make any comparative judgments as to why some dogs jumped well training methods, size of dog, jumpContinued on page 88Obedience NewsCont from page 87surface and others didnt It did seem as though some of the dogs had a weight problems, but again, I couldn t say if they were the ones with the jumping problems, and that certainly was not the only difficulty experienced by some of the dogs.It was also interesting to watch the dogs retrieving. After hearing and reading about all the retrieving difficulties toy dogs have, there was not a lot of evidence at this trial to support that train of thought Some discussion was given to the fact that the ring was on carpeting, and it had a very busy pattern on it an could possibly cause, particularly the Open and Utility dogs, some misfortunes. But it didnt. Neither did the fact that the ring seemed enormous, 40 x 50 feet. Certainly I got tired heeling all around that whole area Especially fascinating to me was the breed quality of the dogs in the obedience ring. If the people watching the breed ring would have looked, theyd have been surprised to see no less than 8 breed champion entries and quite a number more who looked as if they would be competitive in the breed ring.As we progressed through the day, some of the later Open A, Novice and non-regular class entries appeared. Out of a total of 37 entries in obedience making the Baltimore specialty only 15 dogs short of the number entered in breed at the National Specialty the next day with no obedience, almost all of the dogs were in attendance and showed. It was truly a marvelous dayFor me, some aspects of the specialty did notcome quite up to expectations. After building up to this for the past six months, I had hoped there would be more interplay between the obedience exhibitors. To the credit of PCGB, we were all kept so busy that there just wasnt time and energy to visit as much as wed like. Some of the people entered in obedience Thursday were also showing in breed besides having several obedience entries, and most of us were entered in breed on Friday, so again we were busy and preoccupied. Besides, who wanted to miss the chance to see some of the most beautiful Poms in the country Not me, Ill tell you right now And with the boat trip Thursday night and the banquet Friday night, there was just time to rest a little and get cleaned up before we were off and running again.Also, it was somewhat disappointing therediencering. Throughout the day there were some glances from the direction of the other ring, but otherwise were were left pretty much on our own. One nice idea sometimes done at all-breed shows might be to award HIGH IN TRIAL in the breed ring just before the Best of Breed Competition if it has been determined by then.The Pomeranian Club of Greater Baltimore pulled together one of the nicest shows Ive ever attended. The trophies were terrific. The painted clocks for HIT, High Combined and High AKC Champion of Record were exquisite. Wooden Painted Pomeranian Planters were given, besides dazzling rosettes, as placement trophies that were beautifully handcrafted by the members of the Trophy Committee as were the handcrafted leather leads for all qualifying dogs in Regular Classes andor all dogs in non-regular classes offered by Ken and Lilae Shope. Seating at the show site was wonderful. There was seating on two sides of the obedience ring and three sides of the breed ring, so no one was further back than three rows or maybe was standing such as during Best of Breed. There were professional video photographers in attendance, one each for the breed ring and the obedience ring. The show photographer took wonderful pictures at least mine was. They also had at least six vendors selling T-shirts, figurines, grooming equipment and crates, dog food, nik- naks, etc. in attendance. The prices were reasonable for the hotel and there were several restaurants and party stores located nearby. And the enthusiasm shown by the PCGB members was outstanding They worked themselves to a frazzle. It was truly a wonderful trip and was well worth the effort to attend.

BellickTwenty years ago, there was no winter ecialty preceding the Westminster Kennel ub Show. Consequently, our Annual Meeting ts held at the old Madison Square Garden in e of several rooms used by breed clubs for this rpose. I believe the late Mrs. Dorothy Husted lady who devoted much time and effort to the PC, was president I remember among the mbers present were Mrs. Elsie Sivoti, the late rs. Nancy Buckley and Mrs. Madeline Weber, . staunch supporters of our breed.At this time, Sophie Mayes and I were uggling to start the Bay Colony Pomeranian ub. As we discussed the problems facing us, wondered why, with Pomeranians usually in s top dozen breeds registered by AKC each ar, there were so few entries at shows at least our area, New England and why there were so sv members of the American Pomeranian Club, icause of these two facts, at this meeting I made i motion to bring the members together and jate a forum for them to feel that we all were irking towards the same goal and that they uld participate in many ways. I felt this would helpful in bringing our beautiful Poms before s public by encouraging owners and breeders show their dogs. It also would be an incentive bring new members into the parent club and courage the start of regional clubs. This was mussed and it was finally decided that the club iuld publish a quarterly magazine. Jim Arima cep ted the awesome task of contacting breed- and owners and setting up the magazine, om the beginning, the Pomeranian Review has en a success. Jim continued as Editor until he is transferred. I truly never appreciated the xr and time Jim had devoted to the Review til I replaced him as Editor.I gave my best efforts to our magazine til, after many years of breeding and showing meranians, being an active member of several g clubs, we sold out our kennel, moved to iltimore and I went back into the business rid. At that point, the late Vicki Sweeney came Editor.During the first ten years of existence, the view had three Editors. For the past ten years, phie Mayes has been Editor and the Review s grown and improved each year. I salute phie for endurance, plus her greatest contribu- n - making each issue new, interesting andsomewhat provocative fortunately, never stale.The American Pomeranian Club membership has increased substantially, the Review retains its popularity and constantly brings new enthusiasts into the breed and into the show ring. Pomeranian entries at the shows have increased and the growing number of local clubs are especially gratifying.Heres to the next twenty yearEditor's Note Well Pomeranian lovershow have those next ten years been This article was forwarded from an older issue of the Review by Mary Vickers. Sorry that a specific issue and year was not forwarded with it.What is a Wolf SableReprinted from April 1975Many breeders and yes, judges too, are under the impression that a wolf sable is either 1. an extremely DARK orange sable or 2. a tiny replica of a Keeshond. Our former standard says Sable colored dogs must be shaded throughout as uniformly as possible, with no self colored patches. In ORANGE SABLE, the undercoat must be a light tan with deeper orange guard hairs endinginblacktippings. In WOLFSABLES, the undercoat is light gray with a deeper shade of steel gray guard hair ending in black tippings.Thus, a wolf sable is NOT like a small Keeshond, as the latter is required to have cream- colored legs and feet, but is in color more like a Norwegian Elkhound, a study in shades of GRAY. A true WOLF SABLE is extremely RARE.Our present ALL sable colored Poms does not discriminate against the lovely CREAM SABLES, the deep RED SABLES or even the BROWN TIPPED or BLUE TIPPED SABLES, none of which were allowed in the show ring under the old Standard.The Black Pomby Mrs. Alyce D. SeekinsThat Twinkling GaitReprinted from the June, 1959 IssueReprinted from January 1965 ReviewA black Pomeranian just doesnt get anywhere Those words uttered in despair may seem at first glance just silly or perhaps, even sour grapes. But, think with me a bit on this subject.Even though Poms are dearest to you I shall try to point out why I believe this to be true in many breeds where many colors are permitted.In your mind think about the ideal Pomeranian. First, visualize it in various shades of orange or sable, with soft coloring changes contrast of eye rims, points and eyes. See the lines of the dog as graced by the shades of colors. See each hair standing out vividly to your eye. Then take this same dog all in black. What do you see The outlines of the dog as to proportion will be easily defined but coat texture, eat set, eyes, all blend in, thus making it more difficult to easily evaluate this dog.Since my breed for years has been Samo- yeds, which have the problem of being all white, I have thought about it. Yet, with an all white dog, contrast is evidenced by shadows indicating bone structure, facial expression and of course eyes and rims and lips. So, I feel it is really the all black dog that has the problems.I have felt this to be true for some time in regard to the denser coated dogs and then recently I had occasion to watch a judging of Labrador Retrievers about which I knew very little. However, as the judging progressed I found myself more easily evaluating and understanding the light colored Labs even muscular development was more evident but when the solid black dogs came along, I realized I would really have to know the breed thoroughly to evaluate them properly.I do feel this may be the reason that a black Pomeranian has to be really tops to get anywhere, and even then may be by-passed. There may be a psychological reason in some cases many people do have have an unconscious preference for color or white over black but I think with a competent judge that it is more a matter ofLike the term short Pom, a twinklinj gait is attributed to many Poms - bad and good in a complimentary sense. It is a catchy phrase but dangerous.Too often a twinkling gait is faulty whet the Pom so honored is mincing. There isnt breed in the books that calls for a mincing gai because it may mean that the dog is tied at th elbows, too erect in shoulders, weak in pasterns loosely coupled, weak in quarters, or straight it stifle and hock. It has no reach. Power from th rear cannot be transmitted to the whole dog, an there is not enough power being generated fron behind. Like the sprinters say, it is a poor overworking puller, and not a pusher.Other factors of size and build being equal the dog that takes fewer steps to get there is th better gaited.Dogs that weave, paddle, spraddle, o sidewind may also give the impression of twin kling because, coming or going, so many feet cai be seen in so many diverse positions. The grac and simplicity characteristic of a good mover ar thus lost.The action of a Pomeranian should be ffe and elastic, writes Miss Linda A. Wilson in he book. The Popular Pomeranian. The action c a Pomeranian is unique and shared by no othe dog, she continues, yet, how few breeder realize this, or to value this charming quality. 1 for any reason this is lost, it will be a thousan pities, for there is nothing more attractive t either judge or ringsider.It is recognized, of course, that a well gaited Pom moved fast to demonstrate goo action may certainly appear to sparkle, twinklf and shine. But the next time someone says yov Pom has a twinkling gait, it might be wise to thin twice before smiling.^gpFry's Magic Pomeranians Ch. Fry's Magic Kamehamehacongratulates3ill Ch.
