Remember when you found out there was a magazine just for "YOUR" breedThink a bit harder. How did you find out about it How did you find out about the Pomeranian ReviewlI know in my case there was no real breeder to assist me. I answered an ad in the newspaper and bought from a backyard breeder who had no knowledge of the APCs existence. Wanting to know all about my new found fuzzy friend, I combed libraries for any mention of the word "Pomeranian." It was in a pet store while choosing between toys that I found Dog World. In the small print in the classified ads was a notice about the Pomeranian Review.I remember the excitement I felt at that time. Maybe this would be the place that would teach me all about Poms and what I could do best for my little charge.The Pomeranian Review taught me a lot. I wasnt into breeding or showing, and within a few years I let my subscription lapse. After meeting Ann Cannon and getting Huggy one of my first questions was about the Pomeranian Review. I knew it was not sold on street comers and it changed addresses frequently. Being ever-helpful, Ann supplied me with the most current address and subscription information.My way of finding the Pomeranian Review can be echoed by many of you. I didnt want to join the parent club. I didnt think I was really qualified, nor could it be of any benefit. I just wanted a connection with other Pom owners. I just wanted to read about Poms and leam about them.In spring of 1991, the APC considered ways of promoting the Pomeranian Review. To the APC members we released "coupons", so you would not have to write out the info to give to puppy purchasers. Just give them with all the rest of the paperwork that the buyer gets from you. Nice thing about these coupons, you get a kickback. Every time a Pomeranian Review subscription that vou refer comes to Marie Carlough, you get a 10 credit on account to apply towards future advertisements you may want to place. Now you dont have to use these coupons to get your deduction. Have the new puppy owner write to Marie Carlough address on page 2, and along with their subscription check, have them mention your name so you get the appropriate credit.Im all for continuing this "coupon" idea. It has worked to a degree.According to the AKC in 1991, there were 28,494 Pomeranian litters registered. We, unfortunately, maintained third place out of 133 breeds. Not all were bred by APC members. I know that for a fact. As far as individual Poms, the AKC counted 41,034 registered.So why did the APC audit show that the Pomeranian Review lost 9,304.00There are people out there who need the Pomeranian Review. There are people out there who want the Pomeranian Review. They know authority, and the parent clubs magazine should be the best authority on the breed. You, when you breedand sell puppies, you are the connection. Three hundred new subscribers would have erased that deficit. Without too much thought I am sure APC members sold that many puppies lastyear.The board knows all these figures. Every once in a while one of them will say, almost in a whisper, that what we should do is cease putting out the Pomeranian Review. Maybe go to just a newsletter.This makes my blood boil No Pomeranian Review] Ill defend to my dying day the Pomeranian Reviewl To me it is the only thing that holds the APC together. To me it is the history of our breed. To me it is the future of what is going to happen to our breed. To me it is a brag box. To me it is an exchange of information.There are many areas of the magazine that could be improved, and they are being studied. If the base of subscribers went up, we could give more back to you, the reader, and the advertiser. More in this case might mean a decrease in the cost of advertisements, or the reproduction of photos. More in this case might mean no change in the subscription rates. I am not sure exactly what, but I will seriously work on giving more back to you financially, if you work on increasing the Pomeranian Reviews subscription rate. USE THOSE COUPONSFIGHTS BACKThere are many reasons why the Pomeranian Review lost money in 1991. Your elected officials knew all along that the prices they were charging for first class mailings, advertisements, and subscription rates didnt cover their costs.Theres nothing wrong with a non-profit organization subsidizing its promotional efforts, and the Pomeranian Review has been the premiere Pomeranian magazine for years, a treasure the club should be proud ofExpedition Publishing has opened its computer Bulletin Board System BBS for APC subscribers to use.

Seconded by Happeth Jones. Motion adopted. 8-0.Pending Motions92-03-04 Happeth Jones moves that Standing Rule V-2 be changed to remove the words "Note On a voluntary basis Audrey Roberts is sending out awards on Champions and Obedience titlist to all members. Seconded by Margaret Mckee.92-05-04 Jean Schroll moves that the Treasurer should have all our bank accounts where heshe wants them for better control, needs a second.92-05-11 Margaret Mckee moves that there be only two rates for ads in the Review. Member and non-member. In other words, there shall be no commercial rates. Needs a second.92-05-14 Happeth Jones moves that any new contract between the APC and Editor of the Pom Review must be drawn up sufficiently ahead of the contract signing date to give each Board member a chance to read, discuss and suggest changes. Needs a second.CommentsIn the last Secretarys Report I left out some comments on motion 92-02-07. The lack of these comments make it appear that the Board is changing by-laws without the members approval. What should have been included is the following "Mary Vickers says the above motion would mean a constitutional change. Margaret McKee says she is willing for this motion to be on hold until we can add other items that need constitutional changes. This way we can save money by just using one mailing to the membership and AKC. Every member receiving or spending club money is supposed to send a copy of their financial records to the Treasurer and a duplicate to the recording secretary. The only members who have done so are Marie Carlough, Joel Taylor, and Dolly Trauner. If you are handling club money please send in a duplicate copy of your transactions to the recording secretary.For the 1993 specialty the AKC application forms have been filled out The show dates will be Feb 6th 7th. Sally Baugniet is trophy chairman. Patty Griffin continues as hospitality, assisted by Estelle McDonald. Frank Oberstar and Dianne Johnson have both accepted their judging assignments. Lisa Smart has notified us that the raffle prize will be a magnificent afghan throw. Last year the Pomeranian Club of Greater Baltimore gave the APC a loan. We repaid this loan and PCGB returned the check to us as a donation, thanks PCGB.AKC has notified us that effective Jan 1, 1992 AKC will require an interview for all applicants for Obedience judging. Applicants wishing to apply to judge breeds are encouraged to make known their intentions to appropriate clubs and officials.The policy against soliciting assignments does not apply. The purpose is to give additional experience to those desiring approval for judging whether first time or additional breed.The audit committee reports that they cannot certify as correct any financial transactions for the first couple of months in 1991 before the books were turned over to Al. The records for that period are incomplete and in disarray.The Audit committee reports that they cannot certify as correct the financial transactions relating to the publication of the Pomeranian Review. The contract with the Editor states that "the full amount or outside costs incurred will be supported by a fully detailed invoice from the outside printing house used. The invoices supplied to the APC and the Audit committee have the letterhead name of the printer blocked out. When asked the Editor refused to give the name and address of the printer to our Treasurer. Except for the last invoice there is no breakdown of the costs being charged.The 1991 specialty lost 4,472.142.The 1992 specialty made a profit of 5,049.93.The club lost 2,110.22 in 1991.The Pomeranian Review lost 9,304.06 in 1991.The club would have made 7,193.84 if we did not have thePR.The committee certifies that all other financial transactions are correct and that the treasurers ending report of 123191 is correct. The committee recommends that a more detailed record such as a balancing journal be maintained on a monthly basis.A copy of 1994 APC National Specialty ballot will be mailed with the new rosters to all members.Expedition Publishing NoteWe do not enjoy having to reply repeatedly to motions or comments that appear in this report, but often find it necessary.92-05-14 The APC has been informed twice that we will not submit another bid for the Pomeranian Review until the next set of elected officials are in place in 1993. We have advised the APC that we are willing to negotiate a three issue extension that will bring us through the May I June 1993 issue. As we deal almost exclusively with the APC President, we have serious concerns as to who the next APC President might be. Our working relationships with Dolores Watts 1st Past President, and Mary Vickers have been professional, and a pleasure.Audit Committee Our printers name is blocked to protect him from some of the same petty and unjust scenarios that we have been subject to by an extremely minute number within the APC leadership. The APC President and Treasurer were both informed that they, and they alone, may see the original invoices. No one ever "asked" anyone here for the name and address of the printer, and therefore could not have been "refused" as incorrectly stated above. More grievously, the editor never spoke with the treasurer concerning this invoice issueOur last issues comments We were informed by the Recording Secretary that what little she received from our meeting in NYC could not be considered minutes and that she has never seen our four page letter. We specifically asked for that letter which we consider very important to be entered into that meetings minutes, and the APC archives, so that future APC Officers could see exactly what has taken place in our first year. We now believe the only chance anyone will ever find that letter in the future is to make it available to any concerned APC member. If you are an APC member in good standing, send a SASE, and 3.00 to cover processing costs to get your copy.6 JulyAugust 1992 Pomeranian 5WflHeartland's Take A Chance"Chancey"HEABPOMERANIANS-VKHearlands Little Bit O Ritz x Wee Hearts Witching OursChancey is pictured going BOB under Judge Peggy Dillard Carr, at the Du Quoin, IL show.

At this time elections to the AKC Board takes place and therefore creates a lot of excitementThe evening before the annual meeting affords one the opportunity to visit with each of the candidates getting their views etc. While Im not obligated to attend the evening before I find it necessary to do so. Its hardly ever that any other toy dog delegate attends. I think its important.At the actual AKC meeting on Tuesday the delegates have an opportunity to hear all the candidates give a three minute speech regarding their credentials before voting. It is quitegratifying to see how much of a handle the delegate body has on the AKC.Elected to the Board was James G. Phinizy who won a first ballot victory, followed by Elaine Young who narrowly missed being elected on the first ballot. Walter F . Goodman, who had to wait till the 4th ballot for his election. The newly elected Board Chairman is Jack Ward, a highly prized treasurer on the AKC Board who was elected to replace retiring Chairman Louis Auslander. It is my opinion Mr. Ward will do an outstanding job as chairman. The Board then appointed Mr. Sills as Mr. Wards replacement as treasurer. A gentlemen who is highly capable for this job.The other important issues that came before the delegates was to vote on the revisions of Article VII of the Constitution and By-laws, covering meetings of the Board of Directors, and an Amendment to Chapter 5 Section 19 of the dog show rules concerning having the show trial manual on hand at all events. Both these issues were slightly revised before voted on by the delegates.Many thanks for your continued confidence in me. I will do all I can to make our club proud. The fi.P.C. Judges Study Groupby Sally Bquqnietfi.P.C. Judges Education CoordinatorIck, yuck No, Im not referring to the bad faces and comments on poison bottles to alert kids. I just got through licking over 50 envelopes to judges and judges organizations, in preparation, to notify judges of our Pomeranian Study Group. Im going to use a wet sponge for the stamps.Because I believe it is just as necessary to educate exhibitors and breeders on the Pomeranian and the Standard, our Judges Study Groups are open to anyone interested in participating in the first nights session on July 8th at 800 p.m. at the Mark 205 hotel in Vancouver, Washington.We will show the A.K.C. Pomeranian Video, discuss the Pom standard, see and examine some good examples of the Pomeranian and try to answer any questions you may have. Well give a written test, just for fun, after our discussion. On July 9th we will have ringside tutoring for Judges during the actual judging of the Pom Specialty at Brush Prairie, Washington. The tutoring at ringside is for participating judges and the invited breed experts to discuss and answer questions that may come up during the A.P.C. Specialty judging about the Poms. The cost for the seminar is 15.00. Soft drinks and snacks will be provided.aApplying For Membership 042892NameCarol Cochran Rt 4, Box 1725 Porter, TX 773654 713-354-2609Diane L.

How can judges justify this Some excuse themselves by saying the exhibitors are at fault because they bring these overtrimmed specimens into the ring. True, and if judges would start penalizing it, and making it clear to the handlers that this is what they are doing, exhibitors would quickly change their ways. I can think of one breeder judge who has stated to handlers why he didnt put them up, and you take him an overtrimmed entry at your peril. Unfortunately, he seems to be part of a small minority.Other judges complain that our standard is asking too much of them by asking them to penalize over trimming. How can they not put up a fine dog just because the handler got too busy with the scissors they ask. What utter nonsense Lots of standards describe coat presentation and expect judges to abide by those restrictions. Dear Judge, would you have the audacity to regard a Lhasa with a topknot put up with a bow Would you give points to a nice Poodle that was in a pet clip and not in one of the trims allowed by the standard If a Komondor was not properly corded, would you shrug and say, "Oh well, I like the dog, in spite of what your standard says" Of course notA handler once told me that overtrimming wasnt the fault of the dog and wasnt hereditary, and therefore shouldnt be penalized. Wrong The judge is supposed to judge the total package on that day, and that includes presentation. Few judges will regard a dirty, ungroomed dog, no matter how fine a specimen it is. They arent going to be pleased with an exhibit that has fleas or mats. They should take into consideration whether the dog is at proper weight or has good muscle tone. Training and conditioning arent inherited but are part of the total picture the judge must look at.So we, the Parent Club, have a perfect right to tell the judges, through the standard, how we want our dogs groomed. AKC tells judges they are supposed to penalize hairspray. We tell judges we want our dogs to have a double coat including coarse guard hairs. So many dogs today look like theyre running around in fuzzy underwear because guard hairs have been trimmed off. Dogs with long correct standoff coats are actually losing because of it Our standards asks that, hind quarters are clad with long hair or feathering from top of rump to the hocks." emphasis is mine. How can you not tell the difference between long straight skirts and dogs so trimmed that only a slight layer of curly fuzz covers their behinds Judges, you have an absolute duty to reread our standard and judge accordingly Just as you have the power to withold ribbons from unworthy specimens, you have the right not to give placements and points to dogs whose handlers have cut and sprayed every little hair on their dogs bodies. If it looks odd to you, theres probably a good reason.If gale force winds are blowing, but the coat is undisturbed, something is wrong. Dont excuse every short fuzzy coat as puppy coat. Poms are not supposed to be perfectly sculptured18 July August 1992 Pomeranianlike a Bichon or a Poodle, please judges, show a little courage and integrity and do the right thing by our breed.Breeders and exhibitors, if you agree that this is a problem, please write to the APC Board and let them know how you feel, make suggestions for actions the Board can take, and then support the Board. Stop whining that you have to sculpture your dogs to be competitive and take properly groomed beauties in the ring. Take a look at the picture of Little Timstopper or Ch. Moneybox Gold Coin on page 217 of the Anniversary Issue thats how a Pom ought to look Be inspired to breed, groom, and show one that looks like that.In March of 1991 the Pomeranian Club Great Britain held its 100th Anniversary show. The President of that club, Mr. Robert Flavell, judged. The CC winner and BOS was an American bitch, Am Ch. LLL Highlights Thumbelina at Cygal, freshly out of quarantine. She went on to complete her English championship and win BIS at the prestigious U.K. All Toy Dog Society event. The judge commented "It is some years since I was confronted with, with the exception of her feet, an exhibit that was completely untrimmed." So much for all those vociferous protests from the English that they dont sculpture Anyone who has ever been to Crufts knows that they do. But the important point is that a fine, properly untrimmed specimen can win, even in EnglandEach new litter is an adventure, and no breeder should ever be complacent about new babies. It was to be Indias third and last litter. When a C-section became necessary for the last puppy, we went ahead and spayed her. Only the last puppy, a 7 ounce bitch, lived. For the first two weeks, everything went great. On the 14th day, I began to wonder why her eyes hadnt opened yet. My daughter called me at work to say the pup was frothing at the mouth. Odd. The only other time Id seen a puppy do that was when the mother snapped at it. When I got home after work, both mother and daughter appeared to be fine. I left the room for less than an hour. When I returned, there was blood in the bed. An exam revealed tiny cuts around the puppies eyes. Had she clawed at her tightly shut eyes I wondered. I cleaned her up. An hour later, when I checked her again there were more and larger cuts. It was baffling. As long as anyone was in the room with her the mother behaved normally permitting the puppy to nurse, nuzzling her and cleaning her. I could only conclude that the dam had, for some unknown reason, inflicted the wounds. So I took the puppy away from her. I put the pup back in with the dam only long enough to nurse or only if someone was in the room watching TV.That evening the baby quit eating and spiked a temperature. Sugar water from a baby bottle took care of both symptoms but this pup did not give up easily. By the next evening she had developed a horrible infection. Her whole head had swollen and pus oozed from every cut Her right eyeball had sunken into her head. I feared that one of the bites may have punctured the eyeball. I pried her eyelids open but could see nothing. This was one sick puppy.As I headed for the veterinarians office the next morning,r-O\VCh. Emcee's Rosita OsitaCh. Emcee's Golden Topo de Oro x Gypsy Rose of Dogwood Lane"Rosie" prefers to be around people rather than other dogs and has an outgoing personality. These two traits along with Mike Thorstad's expert guidance enable her to start at a late age of 2 12 years and still complete her championship within 6 months on March 15, 1992. She is shown here with judge Roland Adameck and Mike Thorstad at the Pomeranian Club of Hawaii Specialty Show.I want to thank a number of people who made all this possible. Morris and Betty Carson for allowing me to have her Mike Thorstad who saw her potential, convinced me to show her, and handled her all the way Dru Thorstad members of the Pomeranian Club of Hawaii for their support Ellen Takayama for the special "winner-losers" coffee and whose positive, cheerful attitude I hope to emulate the Pom breeders throughout the country who willingly shared their knowledge and to the following judgesMrs. Grace Moran - Windward Hawaiian Dog Fancier's Association - WB BOS - 3 ptsMr. Roland Adameck - Pomeranian Club of Hawaii - Specialty - WB BOW BOS - 5 ptsMr. Edward Loebe - West Oahu Kennel Club - WB BOS - 3 ptsMr. J.

I was sure she was going to be blind in at least one eye. But she had two things going for her she was a girl every breeder needs girls and she was a fighter. She was hanging in there.The vet, too, was baffled by the dams behavior. I had taken her with me but an examination revealed no physical problem that would cause her to act in such an uncharacteristic manner. The vet gently pried open the babys eyelids, he could see no eyeballs at all. He gave me some amoxicillin and I went home to cope and hope. That night I put warm compresses on her head, then gently pressed the pus out. She hated it, screaming her outrage. I didnt mind. It meant she wasnt dying.The next day I took mother and puppy to work with me. I left puppy with India to nurse and be kept warm except when I left the classroom. The improvement in the puppy has dramatic The swelling went down quickly. The problem had first begun on a Monday the vet saw her and antibiotics were started Wednesday morning. Saturday morning she opened her eyes and both eyeballs where there Testing indicated she could see. Wow Talk about a happy endingWe continued to let her nurse with supervision for another 2 weeks. Mother appeared to be getting less and less patient with her so I weaned her at four weeks of age, much younger than usual. Weaning went quite well and we promptly took off forthe Specialty in New York. She traveled well and had a ball in the hotel in NY.Molly is now 3 12 months old and very healthy and strong. What caused her mother to attack her Some undetected ailment She had no temperature, her appetite was fine no symptoms. Was she concerned that her puppys eyes hadnt opened yet Well never know. This problem was caught early because we checked regularly on her, even though shed always been a good mother. Should you have a similar problem, dont assume the dam is a rotten mother. Check the mothers health first. Try to be sure shes feeling fine. Then hang in there problem litters can be raised.

MOSIAC RUFF N ROWDIE RANGLER CD won the top Novice Dog award from her obedience club, Bellaire Dog Obedience Club, with a 197 12 average Rangiers scores were not published in the AKC Awards in time for APCs 1991 awards but he will be hard to beat for the 1992 standings.On Saturday, January 25th at Alexandria Kennel Club, Carols other Pom RA-JOYS DIXIE DARLING earned her CDX with a 195 and 1st place. Carol says "to make the day interesting there were Poms entered in Novice, Open and Utility. The Utility Pom did not qualify but Dixie and the Novice Pom both earned titles that day. On Sunday, January 26th, Dixie and Carol were again 1st with a 192 and were the only qualifiers. Congratulations on your new CDX CarolIn February, Carol showed Rangier and Dixie as a brace for the first time and won 1st with a score of 195. Then on March 15th she again won 1st in the Brace class at Houston Kennel Club with a 193.Carol and Rangier did an outstanding job at the Gaines Eastern Regional in Florida, posting scores of 196,195 and 198 Carol writes, "This was my first Regional and I thoroughly enjoyed it." Rangier was the only Pom competing. Super job Carol, all of your hard work has certainly paid off heck, Im thrilled if my dogs just qualify at the Gaines events Carol and Rangier will be competing at the Gaines Central Regional next. Good luck to you bothCarol is also involved in Agility work which I know little about. This sport is just starting to gain some interest in my area. Carol writes "My girl, Dixie has a new title RA-JOYS DIXIE DARLING CDX AD. AD stands for Agility Dog. At the Flashpaws Agility trial in Houston on April 11th we won 1st and titled in the Starters Agility Class. We were the shortest dog competing at 7 12 inches tall. The closest to our height was 10" ironically another Pom named Cody. Cody already has his AAD Advanced Agility Dog title and is also from Houston. We also placed 4th in pairs where we were paired with a Cocker Spaniel named Rose. On Sunday at the RUK9 Agility Trial we won 1st in out titling class, 3rd in the Gamblers Class and a 2nd in the jumpers class. We also won 3rd overall Mini Jumpers mini includes the 12 and 18 dogs. Needless to say, it was a great weekend."Boy, and I thought I was busy with MY dogs Keep up the good work Carol.Barbara McClatchys DAN DEES IBU ANJING CDX has now earned her U-CD.

Its hard to believe that by the time you read this our Specialty Shows will be upon us. Ive been getting notes from potential exhibitors all over the country so I am hoping we have a good turn out. Ive come to the realization that 3 of my 4 regular class entries will NOT be ready to exhibit by July. With the 2 Novice dogs I will probably only show them twice so I can take them back into the Novice ring at a later time when they ARE ready. As for the 2 Utility hopefuls, well I just hope they look like trained dogs having bad days, not like untrained dogs. Im planning to have fun regardless of what happensHappy heeling, until next time.You may contact Linda by writing to Linda Gallagher1990 Ridgeway Dr. Eugene, OR 97401or call503 686-2316.26 July August 1992 Pomeranian SJ9W0J3WV-J70 PomeraniansGRANDSIREAN-JO Dancing FireSIRE major pointedAN-JO Dancin Autumn SpectrumProudly presents our newest boy He is our 3rd generation...Ch.

Mastic Beach, NY 11951 516281-8246Pomeranian JulyAugust 1992 27by Barbara McClathchgyThe Submarine PomeranianFrom time to time in this column, I will include unusual facts about Poms and their history - This story comes from the U.S. Navyin July of 1944, the naval submarine USS Gurnard was preparing to leave port in Fremantle, Australia, near Perth, when suddenly a small black Pomeranian dashed on board. Machinist Mate Bill Gleason, noticing the dog, turned her around and gave her a little shove to head her back to shore. But the Pom, like all Poms determined to have her own way, refused to go. So Gleason tucked her inside his jacket and went onboard.Penny, as she was named, perhaps because she was as small as one, was the ideal size for a submarine stowaway, weighing less than five pounds - it wasnt long however, before most of the crew knew of her presence and conspired together to keep knowledge of that presence from the officers. But by the time the sub next refueled, at Darwin, Australia, the Captain was the only one still in the dark.The Captain saw the light rather quickly when he stepped barefoot into physical evidence of Pennys presence. Penny and Gleason were summoned before the Captain and given a thorough-going lecture on the Naval regulations forbidding the presence of a dog on a war vessel. Then Lieutenant Commander C. H. Andrews took Penny into his own arms and Im betting that she kissed him and announced that she could remain as long as she didnt cause any trouble.Penny, now an official member of the crew, was allowed all over the sub. She made four war patrols with her crew and earned Combat Submarine insignia with one star. But being a member of the crew of a war vessel did not automatically exempt Penny from civilian cowardice. During one very close depth bombing, she went Missing in Action and was subsequently located, trembling violently, under the Captains desk in his cabin.Penny left the Navy in May of 1945, electing to return permanently to civilian life in Ohio with Machinist Mate Gleasons mother. She died there many years later in Gleasons mothers arms.The SpecialtyThe National Specialty is over, and the Summer Specialty is ahead of us. Local clubs will be having their own Specialties. But what exactly is a specialty And what makes it "special" as compared to an all-breed showThe specialty show draws a large entry of your favorite breed. At the average all breed show, as you know if youve been to even one, you must look hard to find the Pomeranians even when the entry is large enough for a major, the Poms are few and far between. But the entry at the specialty, especially a National Specialty, draws in up to 10 times more dogs than the all-breed show. "All the best" dogs, handlers, and owners are there its your chance to see for yourself what makes the Prince so Charming, aside from being TV photogenic. Since we now28 JulyAugust 1992 Pomeranianhave obedience at the specialties, you can be sure to see a Pom entry in obedience, watching the fun as that little dog that, like yours, once didnt like to retrieve anything, races out to get the dumbbell and bring it back. And, since APC meetings are held at the National Specialties, its your chance to meet other members and see the officers in person.What is a SweepstakesThe point of a sweepstakes lies in the "take." When a club decides to hold a sweepstakes, they set aside a certain part of the entry fee to be divided up among the prize-winners usually this is about 50-80 of the entry. The more entries there are in a sweepstakes, the greater the prize money. The sweepstakes, not being a regular class, is also a good opportunity to give practice to potential breed judges not only is it better practice than matches, considering the usually large entry, but since the dogs must be entered also in the regular classes, the match judge can compare her own placements with those of the judge in the regular classes. And a sweepstakes offers an opportunity for good practice for your puppy and another place to show him off. Send questions and comments to Barbara McClatchey, 218 E.

JulyAugust 1992 29by Valeric WidqrenI am writing this article with the hope that my experience will make you take notice if something doesnt look quite right with your dogs eyes. I have a gorgeous red sable Pom, "Cracker," who is 2 12 years old. He got a little large for conformation so I decided to give obedience a try. He finished his CD at the age of 1 12 his second leg consisted of beating 37 other dogs including a run-off against a Golden Retriever I started training for Open at a much slower pace and things were going fine. This past January I noticed that Crackers eyes looked peculiar to me, but I could not pinpoint what was wrong. They seemed to have a slight blue hue to them and looked very spooky in photographs. On February 1, Cracker got his yearly vaccinations along with a cursory eye checkup. My normal vet assured me his eyes were fine. I thought that, as a layman, I was being overly paranoid and that the vet must be right. On Valentines Day when I got home from work, Cracker seemed to have gone totally blind since that same morning. He could not see my hand in front of him with a piece of food, he could not retrieve his toys, and he was afraid to go anywhere in the house where there wasnt a bright lightThe next day I took him to another vet who has a strong interest in opthamology. She looked into Crackers eyes with a simple pin light and told me that his optic nerves were very swollen, his retinas were white and totally dead, there were spots of hemorrhaging in his iris, and that there were very few blood vessels feeding his retinas. In other words, the backs of both eyes were damaged to the point that he was 98 blind he can see an occasional shadow and nothing could be done for him.That was on Saturday morning. This vet was very concerned that, since Crackers "blindness" seemed to happen so quickly, there might be something bigger going on that could endanger his life. With a lump in my throat the size of a basketball, I called Colorado State University CSU and consulted with their Opthamology department. With three specialists on staff, I made arrangements to meet with one on Sunday morning. They drew blood and ran a series of tests immediately. The tests were inconclusive as to what exactly had happened to Crackers sight. They have ruled out Progressive Retinal Atrophy PRA as the culprit. The optic nerves were the primary cause, the retinas a casualty of optic nerve neuritis. Dr. Roberts of CSU feels that the optic nerve neuritis was caused, most likely, by a virus. By tapping spinal fluid, there is a chance we might find out what virus it was I will not risk paralyzing...the backs of both eyes were damaged to the point that he was 98 blind and nothing could be done for him.Cracker to find out.I took CSU several photographs of Cracker covering the past 10 months. Even though his eyes appeared overly-dilated as early as July, I did not recognize a problem because his eyes looked dark and clear. Cracker had bravely compensated for his lack of vision until a number of photo-sensitive cells in his eyes began dying at such a tremendous rate each day that he could compensate no more. As pet owners and breeders, there are two very simple tests we can do to alert ourselves to a problem at an early stage. Once a month, take just a few minutes to do the following1. Put your hand over one of your dogs eyes, take your other hand and close it except for your index finger. With a quick motion, go toward the dogs open eye several times with your finger be careful not to touch the lashes. Each time your finger comes close to the eye it should blink. Do this with both eyes.2. Get a flashlight and go into a dark room. Cover each eye individually shine the light into one eye, then cover the other eye and repeat to check for pupil dilation. Each pupil should be large and as the light shines into the eye, the pupil should constrict in size. This is an almost instant response.If your dog fails either of these two simple tests, get them to an Opthamologist. If I had been aware of Crackers eyes not dilating correctly when the problem first started, he might have sight today. As a result, he will never realize his potential inobedience. He will never again see my face light up when I get home from work. His future and mine are forever changed. However, because of his great heart and strong spirit, I know that together, we will overcome his new fear of darkness with lots of love and trust.Please write to me, if you have ever encountered eye problems with your Poms and what experiences you have had. Id like to know if Cracker is an isolated case.He will never again see my face light up when I get home from work. His future and mine are forever changed. yyYou may write Valerie at the following addressValerie Widgren 7350 Poppy Way Golden, CO 80403Editors Note Cracker can be seen, along with Valarie, in the MayJune 1991 issue of the Pomeranian Review, page 25.

I took a lot of time and made a lot of effort to learn as much as I possibly could about the Breed. I did not sit around and wait for other, more successful, exhibitors to come and beat down my door to give me advice I put myself out on a limb and asked for it. Most Pom people are kind, helpful and extremely generous with their time and knowledge. If they feel you have a genuine desire to learn, they will go all out to help you, but you have to ask, and be prepared to go a little out of your own way to receive that advice.A Pom is more than a pair of legs If you havent learned "what the heck type is anyway" I suggest you find out, for without type, a dog is just a dog. It is that "look" which embodies the features of the Breed Standard that makes a Pom a Pom.The Pom Standard states that a Pom "exhibits great intelligence in his expression, and is alert in character and deportment." Does that make you visualize a dog that is "very emotional, fragile, their feelings get hurt easily, they panic as opposed to getting stubborn" Ask any experienced exhibitor they will tell you that their major worry is that their diminutive0charge will try to tackle the Rottweilers waiting to go in the adjacent ring. A Pom doesnt know that he is tiny. He thinks he belongs in the Working Group.Finally though I could go on and on, but Im sure you get my drift by now a puppy is a puppy, and it is unrealistic to expect "a consistent performance." Not too many dogs finish from the puppy classes, so that dog had better enjoy itself, and feel that the show ring is a great place to be. Your intelligent, alert Pom does not find that much fun in standing to attention, and will soon learn to dread going through the gate if thats what you expect him to do.I realize that you are a novice, I realize it is hard to "get your foot in the door," and I actually remember watching my first Poms breeder in the ring, and copying everything that she did right on down to carefully showing off my gals less-than-perfect ear set she was perfect to me and I remember picking up a mile high stack of ribbons of any color other than purple, but that was part of the apprenticeship. There are very few instant successes in this world. Even fewer in the dog world. Work hard, and one day you will be as incensed as I was by a "poor little me" article. Oh Advice Cut those nails EVERY week. Conditioning a show dog is a continuous commitment, not something you do three weeks before a show.32 JulyAugust 1992 Pomeranian\ JVi'Gizmo'ELLJCLiiis3Euini5sWarnmP Mmm oAm. Can. Ch.
