She and I met nearly nine years ago and from that moment on, it has been an unbreakable relationship.She excelled above the rest from the first. "Heel Forward." Novice A was all blue ribbons, a Dog World Award and a spot in the ratings. I was hooked, not only on Poms, but on the closeness that training brought to us. We went into Open, where we successfully completed her CDX.Bell then entered motherhood by being mated to "Ch. Edneys Moe-BestSpecial Order." She produced a litter of two girls Ch. Lilaes Animated Nikk-Nakk, C.D. "Nikki" and pointed Lilaes Light N Lively "Pebbles."Back into obedience training and shown in Open B, Bell again was in the ratings. Then she took a break in the action while her Pom housemates were obtaining obedience and breed titles.Finally her vacation was over and Utility training began. Im not going to say it was easy or always fun, but she has forgiven me for the times we didnt see eye to eye.Bell made Utility an experience I learned from, a challenge where I gained patience and a love that will live in my heart forever."OH, TO HOLD MY FIRST UTILITY POM IN MY ARMS AND TO KNOW SHE DID IT ALL FOR ME" November 9,1991.CLOUD NINE Ken Lilae Shope 573 Lyonstown Road Bellefonte, PA 16823 814 355-5506A big THANK YOU to Dianna Rockey, friend and training buddy.A special thank you to Mary Vickers, Margaret McKee, Judy Green and members of PCGB, who were the first to teach me how to "walk."COMMITTEE CHAIRMENAKC DELEGATE Sam Zaneoff 10 Park Avenue New York NY 10016 APC ARCHIVES Sharon Shipek 4803 3rd Avenue ^ Birmingham ^ AL ^ 35205 APC REGISTRAR Jean Schroll 12950 S New Era Rd Oregon City OR 97045 AWARDS Judy Shearer ^ 523 Miller Avenue ^ Sugarcreek ^ OH ^ 44681 EDUCATION Sally Baugniet 411 S State Street Mishicot WI 54228 HEALTH Dolly Trauner ^ 2025 Lyon St San Francisco ^ CA ^ 94115 LOCAL CLUBS Dianne Johnson - 2901 Putty Hill Road Baltimore ^ MD ^ 21234 MEMBERSHIP Jerrie Freia POB 2775 Morgan City LA 70381 OBEDIENCE Linda Gallacher ^ 1990 Ridge Way Drive ^ Eugene ^ OR ^ 97401 PUBLIC RELATIONS Lois Hamill ^ 4 Domenic Drive ^ Chelmsford ^ MA ^ 01824 SKIN DISEASE Cheryl Jackson ^ 1038 16th Avenue ^ Birmingham ^ AL ^ 35205THE POM SHOPPE Bess Roberts WAYS MEANS Lisa Smart YEARBOOK Paul G.

WAS SK22X, HIS SERIOUSNESS, HIS SILLINESS, AND HIS SWEETNESS passed away November 18,1991... a terrible disease.We all knew the hateful devastating nature of the disease, but we kept thinking... "maybe"... "just maybe"... our close friendship dictated that we talk on the phone 2 or 3 times a week, and a couple of days prior to his death, he gently chastised me for not calling him more often. He said, "I always call you more than you call me, its YOUR turn" I said, "What a NAG you are, shut up Ill do better.SKILLSkip Piazzas skill was a sight to see in the show ring. He seemed to "become" the dog he was showing and he conditioned, groomed, and handled magnificently. I promised not to reflect much upon our uncanny win at Westminster with Champion Great Elms Prince Charming, as that is much-repeated history and only one claim-to-fame for Skip. I remember however, that respected Judge Michelle Billings wrote to me soon after the event and said, "I have never seen a twosome like Skip and Prince... never... it was as if one was an extension of the other, and it took your breath away to see them together"SERIOUSNESSPossibly one of Skips lesser attributes, as most of us loved his less-serious side the best He could however, in confidence, speak of lovely things, personal things, deep and reflective things. Skip could be wonderfully serious involving special friendships, his family, some memories. He often astonished me with his perception of people and their behavior, and those who did not know him quite as well were often surprised at his depth, and inherent intelligence.SILLINESSOh, this is my favorite Skip and I giggled so much, in many situations, like 13 year olds at a slumber party... ridiculous One of our most fun trips was to the Oklahoma circuit one year when we were campaigning Prince Charming vigorously... 12 or 15 days of roaming about in Oklahoma, motel hopping from one town to the next, just Skip, Prince and me This was one of the happiest times of all. We shared a room and I yelled at Skip for being so fastidious. I said, "Skip, NO ONE BUT YOU TAKES 7 OR 8 SHOWERS A DAY... 1 OR 2 MAYBE, BUT NOT 7 OR 8, FOR PETE SAKES" He would instantly check out the shower in each motel, and had favorites he also insisted the shower in our guest bathroom was PERFECT, with just the right hard, perfect water spray I accused him of being too eccentric about being squeaky clean. Another typical event was the night just before Skip and Prince were to go in for Best In Show at the Garden, he was a little crazy, nervous to the point of irrationality me too... Skip insisted that Darrell and I accompany him to buy "Best In Show Clothes." We went to the worse possible place to shop, one of those Hotel Mens Specialty Shops where a 24.00 shirt sells for about 59.95 We shopped and shopped and Skip picked out not one, but FOUR shirts and FOUR ties I insisted he could only wear one into the ring, but he laughingly explained he could not decide, so we bought them all He modeled all in the hotel room, finally chose a shirt and tie, and I stuck a red rose with some fem type stuff on it into his lapel... he wore it into the ring and looked beautiful. I also teased him about being the only man I had ever traveled with that took along 14 sport jackets each trip, just so he could be sure to select the right one Crazy guy with a splendid touch of vanity. SWEETNESSSkip was my best friend, no doubt about that Prince Charming was BOTH of our "best friends" no doubt about that eitherIn Pennsylvania when Skip died, I watched as two very dear friends of Skips, Richard Davis Rich and John Marcantonio Marc, who had cared for him constantly during his illness, reflected a kind of love and kinship Im not sure Ive ever seen before. Another good friend, Cheryl Wagner spoke some lovely words graveside at Skips personal request. A sad day. Skip Piazzas friends were indeed fortunate to have had him.Pomeranian MarchApril 1992 3Updates from theby Mary Vickers presidentHave you ever paged through the APC roster and wondered who are these people that are members of this, the parent club With very little thought it is easy to understand why they joined. They all admire the Pomeranian. But who are theyLast March, I sent to all the known APC members at that time there were 326 household or individual members a surveycensus form. The idea came from two sources. First, on May 1st 1990 we, as Americans, would be participating in the U.S. Census. Second, as a newly elected President, I wanted a way to get to know you better.171 forms were returned filled out This is quite an impressive number of returns. I will take the time right now to say THANK YOU for taking the time to participate. Although I heard through the grapevine that some people questioned "why" they should bother with this form, only one was returned blank. Thats OK. There is room for everyone in this club as long as they keep to the ideals and principals of the APC.Kudos to those from the state of Florida All APC members but one returned their forms.THE PERSONAL STUFF23 of the respondents are married 114. Less than 13 of those married have children living at home 30, although most have children 52. There are those who are widowed, divorced or separated. There are 14 of those that have children at home. 60 have reached the glorious, relaxing age of retirement.The biggest category of outside employment were those dealing with office work. 42 members work as either clerks, secretaries, receptionists, office managers, assistant administrators, or just plain "in an office." 8 are teachers. Nurses and Vet Assistants are tied at 6 each. Farmers are represented with 4. What happened to "real" dog people An exact dozen list their work as groomer, dog handler or are involved with running a kennel usually a boarding kennel as full-time employment. Another dozen filled in housewife as their occupation.We do have a doctor of animals. We have 3 lawyers. No Indian Chiefs, but we do have a Chef as well as a Restaurant Owner. From those responding, it can be said that the biggest majority are in the blue collar field.WHAT ELSE DO THEY DOMa Bell and similar companies like her, profit from dog people. It is true in our case. A whopping 159 of you like talking on the phone. Another 130 enjoy reading, but it doesnt show up in the magazine category. The magazines that you admit to subscribe to are118 AKC Gazette, but only 66 get the Awards supplement96 Dog World44 Dog Fancy36 Dogs USA169 Pom Review96 Pom Registry63 Pom Reader24 Kennel Review22 Dog News20 Canine Chronicle16 TNT14 Front and Finish4 MarchApril 1992 Pomeranian SJSWOSM4 Dogs In Canada those that are US residents. All Canadian resident respondents receive this magazine.Computers are owned by 68 people, although several said they didnt know how to use them yet. Photography is one of the biggest hobbies as 88 of you enjoy it For the 30 of you who said you could write, get your thinking caps on. Articles for the Review are always needed.Hobbies was the most interesting category. Besides the usual fishing, camping, hunting, there are those who raise goats and horses - including miniature horses - those that water ski, and love target shooting. But all in all, the majority of you are a crafty bunch. Ceramics needlework are tied with 76 respondents, but there is another 25 or so that like to paint or draw in other mediums.WHAT ABOUT DOGS66 belong to a local kennel club. 57 have breeds other than Poms. 22 of these "others" are either champions or have obedience titles. If it is a large dog it is either a German Shepherd or a Lab 10 each. If it is a small dog it is either a Chihuahua 10, Yorkie or Pap 8, but there are several Dachshunds roaming around.18 belong to an AKC obedience club and 9 belong to another group doing obedience. 10 people wrote in that they are doing some form of demonstrations with their dogs. Usually visiting nursing homes.Quite interestingly, when a member owns less than 6 dogs, many of the dogs, either Pom or other, are spayed or neutered. 121 have their Poms in the house with them, while another 50 keep theirs in both a kennel area and in the house.THE APCS POMS77 are members of a local Pom club. Many of you wrote that there is not one near you. 30 of you do not breed at all. A different 30 have never been to a dog show. 46 have never gotten to see a Specialty. 36 have never entered a Pom at a Specialty, be it local or national, although they may have been to one. 4 members do not own a Pom at present. But thats alright. Out of the 171 respondents there are 4485 Poms over 8 weeks of age. 783 have been deemed by the AKC to be champions. Another 384 have been shown and have majors or points. 78 have obedience titles. Puppies under the age of eight weeks number 333. Another 95 Poms are confirmed in whelp.57 APC members own 1 or 2 Poms. Most members average 22. There are those who can manage much more and admit to keeping 50,60, or 70 and the highest being 85. Even if they weighed 5 pounds each, those 85 equals 425 pounds of dog -- the equivalent of 4 or 5 larger breedsThere are 2 members who are lucky enough to live only with AKC titled dogs. All their Poms have titles. Another 22 members have half or more of their Poms with AKC titles.CONCLUSIONSlightly more than half of APC members responded to this survey. The typical APC member is female, married, with children who have left home. Possibly working in an office, but could also be retired. Your Pom is a house dog, which has been in the ring and has been bred.The majority of forms were returned in the months of April May. AKC registrations records for that time show an average of dogs and litters registered to be 3000 and 2000.We are a small number of fish in a large sea. But we care about the Pom its future, its past, as well as the present. That is what makes us, the APC membership so powerful.In Loving Memory of Skip't t-1 FHFIRST6-9 MONTHS 'mAMERICAN POMERANIAN CLUB FEBRUARY 1990DAVE ASHBEY S ft.........................._ - ' Am.Can.

Heber City, Utah 84032 801654-5037Pomeranian 5WQM MarchApril 1992 5Talcs To Tell from theby Gail fi. GarveyeditorAre many of you familiar with the term "double entendre" Or probably a better word is misinterpretation. I have just completed one year of the Pomeranian Review, and with this issue I am starting on my second year. I have found that one of the biggest problems is MISINTERPRETATION Some of these more serious "misinterpretations" have caused minor problems, others have actually been rather funny. I will of course share one of the funny ones with you...The APC Specialty ad yes, the idea was Leos , and if I might add, I thought a very good one. This ad definitely caught everyones attention in more ways than one, and isnt that what an ad is supposed to do A few suggested an apple, well frankly that seemed a little boring Anyway back to MISINTERPRETATION. King Kong was chosen because it is a classic there was also some humor involved. I know Mary V. laughed and hooted til her sides hurt. She also had a few funny interpretations, one was that the plane was this years Specialty and Kong was last years the Empire Specialty. Another was she was Kong and the plane was the APC or vice versa however you interpret it. The best one weve heard yet was from the Show Chairman, who felt that Leo was King Kong and I guess the plane the APC Sorry Dolly, hes not that hairy. We even heard that some of you were PERSONALLY OFFENDED Give us a break.I will say one thing, we have had a few good laughs in 1991, and Ill end with a little suggestion for 1992 lighten up, let loose and just try to enjoy the magazine. We are doing our best and will continue to try to make the Review good, fun Pom readingPS I would like to take the time to thank those of you who have been very supportive of my position, as editor. I have received many lovely letters and phone calls of appreciation. And of course, thank you for sending in your ads and supporting the Pomeranian Review in 1991.

They both have stated they will not charge the club for travel, room, board or other expenses. Dudley and Dolly have contacted various Pom Clubs for contributions in Ednas name to meet premium and catalog expenses. At the time of this report they have pledges from Sooner and Ohio. The Northern California Pom Club voted to donate 400.00 towards the cost of the premium list. Other clubs have made pledges but their names were not available at the time of this report, but will be noted in the show catalog.In order to cut down expenses on the Pom Review the board is reducing the size of the free APC ads and the size of the type. Reducing the type size will allow the same amount of information to be printed but on less pages saving money. The postage for the July PR first class mailing cost the APC 2.59 each. The subscriber only pays .83 cents of that amounting to 518.13 the APC lost on the July issue. For the NovDec issue the APC lost 499.00. A motion is before the Board to raise the price of first class by 10.00.A letter has been sent to Cheryl Wagner noting her failure to vote and requesting that she vote or submit her resignation. No response has been received. A motion is pending to declare her position vacant.A1 Williamson reported that we have paid off the 3000.00 loan and we will be able to pay off the loans due in December.Mary Vickers is still working with AKC on the Pom color situation. She reports the colors they will list for us are cream, orange sable, black, chocolate, black tan, cream sable, white orange, white black, and white chocolate.Sally submitted for the Boards perusal the incentive package from the National Specialties Committee for the Kentuckiana Cluster held in Louisville Kentucky.

AUBURN, WA 98002Pomeranian SJW0\2MarchApriI 1992 11by Bqrbqrq McCIqtchgyThe judge in an obedience class is announcing the winners. First place Golden Retriever, second place Pomeranian, third place Pomeranian, fourth place here the judge pauses "I dont know how this happened" Pomeranian. That Novice A class at an all-breed Obedience Trial should have blown away a lot of preconceived notions on the part of obedience handlers. "Working and hunting dogs are best in obedience." Small dogs are just lap dogs, especially if they are fluffy." But Poms are small dogs only in outward measurement, as many of us can testify, are big dogs at heart, Poms can beat out the competition in obedience.What is "obedienceAccording to the AKC Obedience Regulations, "the purpose of Obedience Trials is to demonstrate the usefulness of the pure-bred dog as a companion of man..." The essential commands at the lowest, or Novice level are commands that make it easier to live with a dog heel, stand for examination, come, sit, down, stay. If the dog will respond reasonably to these commands he will pass, or "qualify" in a Novice Obedience Trial. Three qualifying scores give him the title C.D, Companion Dog. At the next, or Open level requires retrieval of a dumbbell, jumping high and broad jumps, and dropping on command while coming are added. Three qualifying scores give the title C.D.X., Companion Dog Excellent On the Utility level, the dog must obey signals not vocal commands, distinguish and retrieve an "article" with the handlers scent as opposed to those with the stewards scent, retrieve one glove out of three pointed to by the handler, go out on command and come bach over the correct jump, out of two possibilities. Obviously it is far more difficult to obtain three qualifying scores for the U.D, Utility Dog degree than for the other two.The dog needs only to pass three times in order to get his degree, but if he does at all well, he is in danger of hooking his owner on the more rare atmosphere of competition obedience, trying for higher and higher points, vying for the ribbons and prizes and finally that wonderful OTCH Obedience Training Champion degree, proving that at "x" number of trials he has either taken a first or second place in Utility or Open classes.Should you train your Pom in ObedienceGiven the purpose of basic obedience training, there would seem to be no question about its usefulness to every dog owner. A dog that will sit or lie down and stay when told to do so can be kept firom begging at the table or jumping with muddy feet onto visitors. A dog that will come when called or walk quietly beside you rather than running around and tangling the leash in your legs is obviously going to be a more pleasant companion. The new AKC certificate, "Canine Good Citizen," which requires some of the same work from the dog but without competition, may someday be required of all dogs as proof of responsible ownership. A dog that obeys you in public will show off the breed well. If you tell your obedience trained dog to "sit" in front of a parent, the response is inevitable "your dog minds better than my kids". Obedience training provides for a closer bond between you and your dog than almost anything elseyou can do, because it requires you to work together neither one of you can get the degree alone. Whether you choose to go for the degree may depend on you and your dogs personality and on the amount of time you have for training and showing.Which should come first obedience or conformationWhen I started research for this article, I expected to be able to present both sides of the same issue. I had heard that dogs should be trained first in confirmation and not put into obedience training until finished in the breed ring. But, when I began putting the question to the people who should know best, those with experience in both areas, those who had put both kinds of degrees on the same dog, and even confirmation handlers, I found that there was agreement both can be taught at the same time. The problem most often cited, that the dog might sit automatically in the breed ring, can be avoided by teaching a hand signal for the stand from the very beginning of obedience training. Poms are smart enough to recognize the different collar and leash and the extensive grooming for confirmation as a signal that their own actions are to be different in the ring. And good obedience training will actually help the dog in the breed ring, since it gives control, confidence and socializing. In practice most dogs are finished in conformation first, since the training required for obedience takes more time than for conformation.In the next issue, some questions about a "Specialty." What makes it Special What is a Sweepstakes What is Futurity And whats the point of conformation competition anyway"Just the facts, Maam"When you send in an entry form to a dog show, read it first carefully, and fill in every applicable space.

Pqdqett, PVMtaken with permission from the GRF, Inc., NewsletterDr. George Padgett is a veterinary geneticist at Michigan State University. He has published numerous papers on the genetics of various hereditary diseases in animals.What is an Open Registry First we probably should define an "open" registry all animals are identified in respect to phenotype physical attributes and when possible, in respect to genotype genetic makeup. All information on all dogs is available to the general public. This is opposed to "closed" registries which are the common registries found in the U.S. Examples of "closed" registries are the Orthopedic Foundation of Animals OFA and the Canine Eye Registration Foundation CERF.Phenotype vs. GenotypeIn "closed" registries the only information available to the public is on those animals which are phenotypically normal. The word phenotype means the observable properties of an animal structural and functional produced by the interaction of that animals genotype and the environment. For example, with hip dysplasia you might have a normal excellent, good, fair or dysplastic borderline, mild, severe phenotype based upon a radiograph. It is what you observe or measure in an animal in regard to the trait in question. With sebaceous adenitis S A, you might have a normal, subclinical SA, or clinical SA phenotype based upon a skin biopsy.In an "open" registry, information on genotype would also be available. For example, with PRA you might have a dog who has a normal ERG phenotype is normal, but is a known carrier of the PRA gene genotype is carrier. A phenotypically normal dog who has an offspring with S A is a carrier by genotype.Benefits of an Open RegistryWe now have a nice distinction between an "open," and "closed" registry, but from a breeders standpoint, what difference does it make With single gene traits, especially those with late onset such as sebaceous adenitis, PRA, and epilepsy, it makes all the difference in the world. A closed registry does notprovide any of the information required to prevent the spread of genetic problems.An open registry allows you to "retrospectively" test mate your dogs. That is, it allows you to genotype your dogs based upon matings that may have taken place months or even years ago. The single requirement for this is the knowledge of the genotype of one of the animals involved in the mating. This, of course, you can obtain from an open, but not from a closed registry.Retrospective Test Matings Let us examine how a retrospective test mating works. Since all dogs on the average carry defective genes, perhaps as many as four or five, every mating is in fact a test mating. The problem we currently have, since we do not identify "affected" dogs, is that we do not know what the test mating is for. Remember, it is a test mating whether that was your intention or not. It is also a test mating even if it occurred before the dog developed the disease or before you knew the dog produced the disease.Example of Charlie As an example of how retrospective test mating takes place, lets take "Charlie," a Standard Poodle. His breeding history is recorded in the genetic pedigree on page 18. Take a minute to look at it before going on.Charlie was born in 1982. He was radiographed for hip dysplasia, VWD tested, had a CERF examination, and produced his first litter in 1984. He was subsequently bred 25 more times, producing a total of 174. His average of 6.69 puppies per litter, is about whats expected for a Standard Poodle.In 1987, a bitch puppy of Charlies developed a skin disorder and was eventually diagnosed as having sebaceous adenitis S A. The first report of S A in Poodles was by Rosser et al in 1987, so the disease was not known as an entity prior to this time. Unfortunately, the owner of this pet bitch never contacted the breeder, so Charlies owner never found out about this puppy.In the Summer of 1988, a champion son from Charlies tenth litter was diagnosed with clinical SA and the breeder withdrew Charlie from public stud. A second male in the same litterwas diagnosed with SA a short time later. Charlie never developed clinical SA. As time passed, several other cases surfaced. Even though Charlie was clinically normal, in 1990 he was biopsied for SA and was diagnosed subclinically affected. At that time, Charlies owner began contacting the breeders of his litters and asking them to have the offspring tested.So, where are we now Well, since Charlie is affected, all 174 of his puppies are defined carriers. Does this make Charlie a "bad" dog Not in our opinion. In fact, he is a champion and has produced 31 champions, which is 18 of all his offspring. Not badIs Charlies owner a bad breeder Not in our opinion. The disease was not known when he was first used at stud, and all the mating he made were complete before his first affected puppy was reported. There was no way the breeder could have known Charlie was affected and in fact did not find out he was affected until 1990, well after he was withdrawn from stud. Charlie still has not shown clinical signs of SA he is one of the subclinical cases.What can we learn from CharlieSo, where are we as a result of Charlie Well, if we use the knowledge that Charlie is affected, we can do something about the disease. Twenty-three bitches have been test mated for SA and at this point in time, six of the bitches have proven to be carriers. How about the rest It is probably true that the puppies from many of these matings are spread out or lost. But, if you can locate and test four puppies randomly from any of these matings and all four are normal a skin biopsy must be performed to locate any subclinical cases, the bitch is 93.7 sure to be free of the SA gene. All you have to do to establish clear dogs, is to check the already-born offspring. Many of the puppies are at the right age and everything.In addition, all 174 of Charlies puppies are defined carriers, correct Many of them have already been bred. Thus any mate bred to one of Charlies puppies has been test mated to at a minimum a carrier. Therefore, if you randomly test seven of their puppies and all are normal, the mate is 86.6 sure to be free of the SA gene.ConclusionsObviously it is not desirable to have dogs which transmit diseases like SA or16 MarchApril 1992 Pomeranian K8WflS\57Kneislers Pomeranianswould like you to meet...Kneislers Toasty Miz Kaylaw0_Ch.

At this time there has been enough data collected on Standard Poodles to be confident that S A is a recessive disorder. In other words, both parents must be carriers if any of the offspring have SA. However, we can not say with certainty at this time that SA is a simple recessive controlled by only one gene. There could be modifying genes or environmental factors that also affect the expression of the disease. We do not know what causes the large variation in age at onset, why some dogs are subclinically affected, and whether subclinically affected dogs will eventually develop clinical SA if they live long enough.For Standard Poodles, the requirements for a S A registry have been met. Now the success of such a registry falls in the hands of owners and breeders. When a registry becomes available and it shouldnt be long now it is up to you to register your dogs.Read Your Standardby Bqrbqrq Chancetaken from the Bay Colony NewsletterAs I sat at ringside recently, watching the Poms being judged, I wondered how many of the exhibitors and judges had really bothered to read and understand the standard for our lovely little breed. Turning to the lady sitting next to me who was exhibiting Poms for over 25 years and asked "what has happened to the coats" She turned to me and said "I guess they have been taking lessons from the Poodle people and sculpting coats so not a hair is out of place. The breeders arent bothering to breed for coat anymore when they can sculpt the coat to have stand-off appearance and judges put them up without penalizing for excessive trimming."Hey folks, if this is the case, the breed is in trouble Poms, according to the standard, should have a double coat ashort soft thick undercoat with longer, coarse, glistening outer coat, consisting of guard hairs which must be harsh to the touch in order to give the proper texture for the coat to form a frill of profuse standing off straight hair. What I saw was perfectly shaped undercoats with no coarse outer coat and the coats were about three inches scissored all over. Are we forgetting what a glorious sight a Pom in full healthy coat can look likeThe standard also says trimming for neatness is permissable around the feet and up the back of the legs to the first joint trimming of unruly hairs on the edges of the ears and around the anus is also permitted. Overtrimming beyond the location and amount described should be heavily penalized. This last sentence is what everyone seems to overlook or just choses to ignore.I have heard the expression many times "everyone else does it and if I dont, I wont win." This is the sort of thinking that has ruined so many breeds.When winning becomes the ultimate goal, instead of breeding better Poms that are as close to the standard as possible, mediocre dogs are the result. If judges would so heavily penalize sculpted dogs maybe this lovely little toy would remain what it is supposed to be. If breeders would breed for correct coats instead of having to artificially scissor to get the correct shape, tail carriage, head, etc..., maybe we can turn around this fetish for making our Poms look like perfectly scissored miniature ChowsA new revision for the Standard is being proposed if not already in effect at the time this is being written. Why couldnt extreme scissoring be reason to be excused from further judging instead of just being penalized If judges would have this capability and start excusing exhibitors, the extreme scissoring may stop.STOP SCULPTING Remember it must start somewhere, how about YOU Lets not continue to stick our head in the sand and pretend coats grow that way18 MarchApril 1992 Pomeranian RSWBSMThe Honey DogsTo all you great, great guys married to Pom Moms.First ones at the show putting up rings, cleaning grounds and putting down mats, making sure everything is just perfect.To all who smile while hearing nagging and complaining, hold the bitch while he breeds her another back breaking job.

McKggThe following is an animal control bill proposed in the Oregon legislature last year. Please read it carefully.Senate Bill 1158Be it enacted by the people of the state of OregonSection 1.1 Any person who keeps companion animals and sells or offers to sell more than one litter of puppies or other companion animals in any one calendar year, or who keeps such an animal or breeding, must obtain a license annually from the State Department of Agriculture pursuant to the followinga The annual licensing fee shall be 250.b A fee of 200 per litter shall be required for the sale of each complete litter.c A license application fee of 150 shall be paid for each companion animal six months or older owned by the applicant.2 Any person who acts or attempts to act as a companion animal broker must obtain an annual license from the State Department of Agriculture and shall pay an annual licensing fee therefor of 1,500.Section 21 Any person who houses companion animals for the purpose of selling or breeding such animals and who is licensed as prescribed in Section 1 of this Act shalla Provide at least one staff person for every five adult animalsb Insure that there is a minimum of 3,000 square feet of ground area for every 10 adult animals, with no more than 10 adult animals occupying such area at one timec Insure that all animals are provided adequate food and water in containers that are cleaned and disinfected daily. Water shall be provided at least every 12 hoursd Insure that no more than three separate breeds of dogs are kept simultaneouslye Insure that no bitch has more than one litter every other year and that no puppy under 12 weeks of age is soldf Insure that each animal is examined by a licensed veterinarian at least every six months, with verification to be filed with the State Department of Agriculture andg Insure that each animal has adequate housing, including but not limited toA Elevation of the structure above the ground sufficient to prevent dampnessB Waterproofing and insulation of each structureC Sheltered entrances on all structuresD Interior space in each structure that allows the animal freedom of movement while being small enough to retain natural body heatE Straw, hay or other acceptable bedding to be changed daily andF Solid floors not slatted or made of wire in all structures.2 The State Department of Agriculture or its designee shall inspect the housing arrangements of all animals kept by persons licensed under this court for compliance with the provisions ofthis section.Section 31 Failure to obtain the necessary license required by this Act before engaging in keeping, breeding, selling or brokering companion animals is a Class C felony.2 Buying or selling or offering for sale puppies by the litter lot is a Class C felony.3 Debarking or causing the debarking of a dog is a Class C felony.4 Failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Act by an applicant for a license is cause to deny a license application.5 Failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Act by a licensed person is cause to permanently revoke that persons license and confiscate all companion animals being kept by that person. Such licensed person in violation shall pay a fine of 10 per day per confiscated animal until such confiscated animals are placed or otherwise disposed of.Section 4For the purposes of this Act, "companion animal" or "animal" means any animal kept by a person, business or other entity for companionship, security, hunting, herding or providing assistance in relation to a physical disability.An abbreviated version of the above bill appeared in the obedience newspaper Front and Finish, along with comments opposing the bill. Based on the Front and Finish article, my friend Marion Erp commented on it in an editorial in our local obedience club newsletter"How does this bill endanger dogs and eliminate a responsible dog breeder only breeding one litter a year Remember, it is targeted for he who breeds MORE THAN ONE LITTER A YEAR and specifically for the puppy miller reference the wire cage bottoms. ["Marion appears to imply that anyone who breeds more than one litter a year is irresponsible] "If we indeed have an over population problem in dogs and we do, we need to produce fewer puppies, plain and simple. Hitting the breeder in the pocket book where it hurts just might do it. Many of the points simply address humane care of dogs others take away much of the profit margin with almost prohibitive fees. Sure, there are minor points I could quibble with. The animal rights groups must have come up with the ridiculous bit about debarking, and I think to be fair to the toy breeders, fees should perhaps be applied to the numbers of dogs produced, not litters. We could even live with the 12 week minimum age before sold part, as long as the breeder conscientiously socialized the pups for us.The puppy millers must be jumping up and down for joy. Just when truly restrictive measures are proposed which would put them out of business, fellow "reputable" breeders come to their rescue to sabotage the measures for them Is this the trend for the future What is the "responsible" breeder saying when he opposes this bill I dont want inspections, I dont want fees because I cant afford them, I want to breed my brood bitches each year instead of every 2 years, and I dont want the added expense and hassle of keeping puppies beyond 6 or 7 weeks Is this responsible Either we deal with the puppy millers or we dont. As breeders either we accept the fact that we contribute to the over population problem if we breed A LOT, or we hide our heads in the sand, blinded by the arrogant and misguided notion that we have some kind of RIGHT to breed our "gorgeous" dogs22 MarchApril 1992 Pomeranian 5JWDHallmarks PomeraniansIntroduces...Sire AmCan Ch.

Sounds like what they call "an attitude" here in the South ....If I am missing some crucial point here, Id welcome some enlightenment. There certainly wasnt anything in the Front and Finish article which stated how responsible breeders would be eliminated and our dogs endangered by passing this bill. Certainly the number of dogs we could own would be reduced because of the fees is this bad. But care would be improved, provided puppy millers could afford to stay in business doubtful and provided all of this could be enforced even more doubtful -- doesnt the Dept, of Agriculture have better things to do. I guess I just dont understand why anyone would oppose more humane care for our dogs and reduced production of puppies. What is not clear is whether mongrel breeding would be included whether your neighbor is subject to the same fines, fees and restrictions if Rover accidentally ties with Fifi."Lest you think Marion is just one of those fanatic dog haters, she has owned a UD Whippet, and a Ch. UD Rhodesian Ridgeback, and currently owns a Ch. UD Irish Water Spaniel with OTCH points.Here in part is my response to Marion"Yes, youve gored my ox, and yes, there are things you dont know parts of the Oregon Bill which were not included in the Front and Finish article.First, let me explain why I would be very distressed should such a bill be proposed in Virginia. In 1991,1 bred 3 litters of Pomeranians resulting in a total of 8 live puppies, all of which were co-owned with the co-breeders. One puppy was put down for a congenital defect. I kept 4, a co-breeder kept one, and I sold 2 puppies. The gross income from the sale of those 2 puppies was 875. My expenses included, but were not limited to600 stud fees, 420 in shots and checkups, 250 a caesarian section with the total being 1270 There were additional expenses for extra food and vitamins for the dams transportation costs for sending the bitches to the studs food, vitamins, medicines and toys for the puppies and advertising. So, I show a substantial cash loss without licensing costs. If I had to be licensed according to the Oregon Bill, I would have to pay250 Section I [la] annual license fee, 600 Section I [lb] 200 per litter, 1200 Section I [lc] 150 x 8 adults it is not clear how often this is assessed. Total license fee 2050 Even if I had sold all the puppies I kept, I would still have lost money.I consider myself a responsible breeder, I breed because I want to keep some or all of the puppies. I am trying to improve the breed. There is plenty of demand for nice Pom pups. I certainly cant say Im a typical breeder. I have no idea what average would be. I would hope the average breeder takes good care of their animals and screens prospective homes carefully.Lets consider how other provisions of the bill might apply to meSection 2 1 "Any person who houses companion animals for the purpose of selling or breeding.... shall." The following provisions would then apply to me even if I have 1 or no litters, because I intend to breed.a. "provide at least one staff person for every five adult animals" I now have 16 adults including the cat. What24 MarchApril 1992 Pomeranian 5]Wfl7constitutes "staff" How many hours a day must they work How much must they be paid Can I count Elaine as staff Elaine is my 14 year old daughter.b. 3000 sq. ft. 10 adult animals. It does not specify what this includes, whether indoors or out. My kennel room is 12 x 20 ft 240 sq. ft. and houses 14 Pomeranians plus occasional boarders. Can I count the area of my fenced yard As you correctly pointed out, the bill makes no distinctions based on size or activity level.c. It is easy to envision homes where there are 4 breeds present although only one is bred. I dont plan to breed Azyr the greyhound Rachel plans to get a male Gordon Setter Langhome wants a hunting dog I might take in another rescue dog - you get the picture.d. Because of their small litter size Pomeranians are usually bred at least every year and sometimes 2 cycles out of 3.e. This is definitely designed to hit the pocketbook of breeders, and enrich veterinarians. 25 per vet visit times 2 per year times 15 dogs over 6 months of age 750 per year. This would be just for checkups even if I give my own shots. It would not include veterinary bills for dentistry, dew claw removal, tail docking, maternity care, x-rays, eye exams, illness or injuries.Now, what you didnt get to see is some very disturbing language. Read carefully Sections 3 and 4 of the bill. I have real problems with the wording of these sections. Note that Section 3 requires getting the license before keeping any companion animal, regardless of whether it has been breed yet or whether it subsequently proves fertile or not. And Section 4s definition of companion animal covers every dog purebred or not, male or female, neutered or intact. So dear friend, that means you would be required to have a license in order to keep your beautiful, neutered Ch. OTCH So would owners of handi-dogs or guide dogs. How ridiculous But that is how pet ownership is endangered.The framers of this bill probably had good intentions. And we all want breeding stock to be well cared for. Even if the intention was not to put caring breeders of quality dogs out of business, this bill would do so. This bill was rightly tabled. It needs a lot of work. More thought needs to be given to enforcement. Who is going to find out how many litters Ive had or whether Ive sold any And why that terribly broad definition in Section 4 Whose agenda does that serve It is so all-encompassing as to be devastating. Surely there are better ways to get at the puppy millers, the backyard breeders, the arrogant and the irresponsible.A similar ordinance just passed in Montgomery Co. MdThis whole subject raises some important and difficult questions. How does one define or describe a responsible breeder Can it be as simple as the number of puppies or litters bred What about those who carefully investigate puppy buyers and make use of limited registrations and no-breeding arrangements Are we really opposed to inspections My kennel is usually cleaner than my house. Who is going to do all these inspections I strongly believe that any law that a governing body is unwilling or unable to enforce is a bad law. Current laws are unevenly enforced. How well are leash laws enforced in your community How would the authorities discover the existence of litters and puppies It is far easier to keep tabs on honest and responsible breeders than on puppym cLgw"1Lt\-'9 d. vI[OUEVI CHMAmHWINNERS DOG GOLDEN V MLEi K.ENNEL CLUBNOVEMBER. 1 CM-LEA PHOTO ^mbv JIMCh.

We are far more visible than Joe Blow who breeds a litter of Beagles, sells them cheap for hunting dogs, and doesnt worry about how many are dead or in the pound after the hunting season.We must be alert. This kind of restrictive legislature is proliferating. Word reached me shortly before Christmas that a restrictive licensing bill will be introduced in the Virginia legislature in January. As yet I havent learned the names of the bills sponsors or in which house it will be proposed. Typically, "they" can get organized. If you get whiff of such proposed legislature, act immediately. Do not assume that someone else will take care of it. Even if you are not a member, make contact with all local animal clubs. I found out about the VA bill from a bird breeder. Get organized. If local dog, cat, and bird clubs can unite to oppose unreasonable legislation, we have a chance. You are particularly fortunate if your state already has a stateShow Poqs find Household Pets,fi Thing of the Postby Povid R. EdwardsIf the Animal Rights Activists get their way both show dogs and household pets will become a thing of the pastThere are several Animal Rights Groups lobbying across the country to get into legislation bills that would make owning and breeding against the law.Two such groups are PAWS and PETA. Both seem to have hidden agendas to force legislators to pass bills that would assure 100 spayneutering of ALL cats and dogs. As you can see this would eliminate future litters making it completely impossible to obtain a show dog or catWhile these groups work to abolish all use of animals in research, and eliminate all animal agriculture as well as hunting and fishing and the use of furs be you for or against one or all. They also work to abolish commerce in animals for pet trade, ending the use of animals in entertainment and sports, stop the breeding of companion animals, including dogs and cats andPom Review Repair ShopThis column is where mistakes made by myself or anyone else, will have the chance to correct them.On page 33 of the JanFeb Review, the 3rd place winner in puppy bitches 6-9 months Ohio Valley Pom Club Specialty was Millamors Miss Golden Aire the owners should read Eleanor Miller Sharon Masnick.On page 5 of the JanFeb Review, Gladys Von Horns address was wrong, her correct address is 15902 N.

Call AKC for advice. Lobby your legislators. Track the bill through the legislative process. Attend committee meetings and hearings. Be visible and vocal. Be prepared with facts, figures, and constructive counter proposals. Get a lawyer. Sometimes groups like AKC, ADOA, or the pet industry can help with legal council. There are groups out there that are opposed to all pet ownership. Do you unknowingly donate to these organizations From any group which asks for your support or donations, ask for a written statement of policies and goals. If we are not ever vigilant, we can be in big trouble.I had written a piece on proofing, since this is the obedience issue of the REVIEW, but this part is so long that if I continued, the editor might have heart failure, so Ill have to leave that subject for next time.

I prefercompanion animals. If people had companion animals in their homes those animals would have to be refuges from animal shelters. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would an orphan child. But as the surplus of dogs and cats declined, eventually companion animals would phase out and we would return to a more symbolic relationship... Enjoyment from a distance."The movement is gaining much support across the country as the number of unwanted dogs and cats being put to sleep increases each month. We need to begin rethinking our priorities and begin a more active movement of our own to educate legislators on the need for the showing of dogs and cats as well as the need for dogs and cats as companions to humans and the love and joy that they bring each day into our lives.The time to act is now Once the bills have been passed we all must know how impossible it will be to change or remove them. Contact your legislators and voice your opinions before it is too late. Do not be fooled into thinking that it will never happen Should such bills be passed you would have only yourself to blame.Behind The New TitlistsThree generations of new Pomeranian titlists belonging to members of the American Pomeranian Club will be printed free, if sent by the owner.

Look for the May issue for details and results of that. As a new member on Prodigy, the computer service, Ive been reading about and been a part of the preparations for this great event. Many, many kudos go to Dolly Trauner, the Show Chairman, Dudley Roach, the Show Secretary, Patty Griffin, Marie Carlough, Sandra White and others for helping to put on this trial. At this writing we are confident of about 8-10 entries. We are sure hoping for more. Someone I know is really hoping for a High In Trial not me. Stay tuned to find out who gets this very first ever HIT at the National. Unfortunately, because New York in February is so distant for many and hard to get to that time of year, I dont hold any illusions about a tremendous entry. The fact is, were very lucky to be having obedience at all If youre one of the ones who supported it by your trophy donations, entries, prayers, or whatever, kudos to you too Patience and hard work have finally been rewarded.NEWS FROM UTILITY BRoz Goltz has been out there plugging for OTCH points with CH.

She writes, "It seems strange to me to see someone elses dog apparently do much better than mine and place lower.I know you cant second-guess the judge, but I always seem to score other dogs higher and mine lower.

Watters Tiny Touch O AmberPomerqniqn Club ofGreater Houstonby Olqq BakerI love boasting about Pomeranians, most especially my OWN... but my boasting involves their being gorgeous, appealing, special, precious, loyal and like that... I seldom boast about their supreme intellect much to the chagrin of our "obedience-Pom-people," who insist that Poms are the most clever, intelligent, quick and most brilliant of all breeds. Training our own doggies to do anything unique or disciplined doesnt fit into my own life, nor to theirs Im afraid. Our dogs feel and we agree that they are quite wonderful just as they are...We do so admire obedience dogs. Obedience Pomeranians are the most wonderful creatures in the world. Our APC President, Mary Vickers is an excellent, accomplished obedience person, and how I do admire thatAnyway... now in our Houston Pomeranian Club as an addition to our special member, Carolyn Crockett, a great achiever in obedience with Poms, we now have CAROL FATHEREE who has been doing the most remarkable things with her Poms in obedience, drawing appreciative crowds of Houston Pom fans to ringside to watchWhile rather new to the world of dogs and dog shows, Carol Fatheree has already trained two Poms very successfully in obedience "Dixie" hasNew Members for 1992Submitted by Jerrie Freia, Membership ChairmanMary Allan918-485-3010 Rt 3 Box 531 A Wagoner, OK 74467 Nina K.

Dixie was also highest scoring toy in her last trial. But, more excitingly, Dixie is now competing in Agility if you havent seen agility, youve a real treat coming, and poor little Dixie is definitely the smallest "kid on the block" smallest dog competing. She has already gleaned two second places in this formal and extremely difficult competition, against many, many dogs of all sizes, races, creeds and types. Also, here is a real claim to fame for our area. We have learned that there are only three count em Pomeranians competing in this difficult agility work NATIONWIDE and guess what All three are in Houston, Texas dogs One more "Texas brag."Carol Fatheree also has trained and shown "Wrangler, now with his very own fan club. Wrangler has earned his CD, but that is only a minor "claim-to-fame" for this little performer He never scored below 195 in ten performances and he received the prestigious DOG WORLD award for having all 3 of his first shows end with a score above 195 Our favorite thing for little "Wrangler" is special because we were there to see it, and admire it, and whoop and holler for him Although a tiny little guy, he has an uncanny spirit and gutsy attitude about himself, and he gave an outstanding performance with a score of 197 to tie for High In Trial with an equally wonderful big dog who is a seasoned, long-time obedience dog with his OTCH title, and many High In Trial wins to his credit. Talk about playing with the "BIG BOYS," he lost the tie, but good grief... who cares.... HE WAS TERRIFIC Wrangler didnt quit there, at Baytown, Texas he scored a magnificent 198 and was HIGH IN TRIAL over everybody including the big guys. I must admire this, as it all seemed an impossible task. Carol was adorable as she left the ring with all sorts of prizes, surprises, awards, and things, with a stunned, disbelieving look on her face. Her love and admiration for her Pomeranians is clearly reflected in her training, handling, and attitude toward those little children of hers.CONGRATULATIONS.... the Pomeranian Club of Greater Houston is proud of you.Check you wonderful Pom peoplelater, were out of here.....Olga M.
