Trauner 2025 Lyon Street San Francisco, CA 94115In accepting the election to the post of President of APC, I addressed the membership as follows"The good ship APC, with Mary as its captain and a good crew aboard, has successfully navigated a two-year trip. There may have been troubled waters at times, but with skill, hard work, and due caution, the ship has reached safe harbor."We are about to embark on a new voyage, with a new skipper at the helm. However, many of the old crew will still be on board to help guide the ship through uncharted waters, and to avoid storms and shoals...so we wont run aground."It is your ship. It belongs to you all. This skipper and crew are here to do your bidding. We need your advice and instructions on the direction you want your ship to go...which new lands to visit, which new passengers to take on board.We will do our best to serve you well, and to return your ship at the end of this voyage in as good a condition as we find it today."Quite a few familiar faces return to the Board, or as Chairmen of a Standing Committee, such as the Bylaws and Standing Rules Revisions Committee chaired by Jean Schroll. The Breed Standard Committee is again chaired by Sally Baugniet, whose original work was never allowed to be completed due to pressure from AKC to meet the deadline for publication of the 1991 Complete Dog Book.Our new Board Members are First Vice President, Emily Untalan, from Tigard, Oregon. Though relatively new in Pomeranians, Emily formerly owned and trained her own Labradors for Field Trial competition. She has had considerable business experience that will be an asset to the Club. Next is Second Vice President, Jim Shearer, from Sugarcreek, Ohio, whose wife Judy, continues as Chairman of the Awards Committee. A third new face is Beverlylenry from Carrollton, Texas, in the position if Recording Secretary. Beverly is also the ine to contact for information about the ipcoming Summer Specialty in ieptember-now being referred to as the Texas Jamboree for 1993. Can I learn to iquare dance in time to get in on the fun In iddition, we are pleased to welcome Directors Sally Baugniet, Sharon Masnick, Vlargaret McKee, Happeth Jones, Brenda Turner, and Mary Vickers.Combining Health and Skin Disease under me heading, the new Chairman of the Health md Genetic Problems Committee will be iienee McGrath, DVM, MS, of Greenfield, IN. The Ways and Means Committee will be o-chaired by Mary Vickers and Peter Galindo.As more and more members acquire home computers, many are discovering the ease, speed, and economy of communication with me another by means of an electronic bulletin board called Prodigy. It offers E-Mail for private correspondence and a public board for open discussion on a vast array of topics. Ive been told that the Pom board is the most heavily used of any of the breed boards for serious subject matters, as well as just chit-chat.Desktop publishing abilities are being acquired by some members. Dudley Roach, the Pom Reviews new editor, demonstrated his ability with the Premium List and Catalog for the 1992 and 1993 Annual Specialties, but had prepared those items for NCPC for the past 3 or 4 years. So it was no surprise to those of us in his area that he could produce a magazine of the quality of the first issue of the Pom Review for 1993. We find Happeth Jones, Beverly Henry, Jerrie Freia, and Brenda Hutton, Pom Review Circulation Manager, also involved with desktop publishing, and there may be others not yet heard from. Hellooo, out there Let us know who you areMy main message to the membership is this Please tell me what this administration can do to make you feel you are an important and needed participant in all this Clubs activities. It is your Club, for without your membership the Club would not exist. It is the American Pomeranian Club, not the Club of any special region. I think the makeup of the new Board and the Committee appointments reflect this.Membership Reportby Jerrie Freia P.O.

TraunerIt snowed most of Friday, the day before he 73rd Annual APC Specialty. The Show Committee, Board members and exhibitors aegan arriving to a warm welcome by the lotel staff. It seems they all love our little Poms and look forward to this annual event. Again, using the hotels brass stanchions, Ground Chairman Jim Shearer measured out and attached handsome white plastic chain as ring rope, borrowed courtesy of the Ohio Pom Club. Judy, his wife, added gorgeous arrangements of red silk flowers and streamers to each stanchion. Chief Ring Steward, Julie Moreno, helped direct hotel staff in placing tables and chairs, while Ring Stewards Jean Schroll and Nancy Wharton checked on ring supplies. Trophy Chairman Sally Baugniet arranged the Clubs drape over the hotels tiered tables, and with assistant Maureen Quinlan began unpacking the array of trophies to be given out over the next two days. Mary Vickers held her last Board meeting, but much of the business was deferred for the new Boards attention.Saturday dawned sparkling clear and bitter cold. Ice was everywhere underfoot and parkways had turned into toboggan runs. Some were closed due to multiple pileups, causing delays everywhere. Stewards for the Obedience ring were again supplied by courtesy of the Obedience Stewards Club. A trip usually taking one hour for Obedience Chairman Marie Carlough took three hours this time. Obedience Judge Pat Scully graciously accommodated to the late arrival of the jumps and proceeded with judging some classes out of order until Marie arrived with the equipment. Ms. Scully made the Obedience instructive and enjoyable for exhibitors and spectators by her detailed explanation of the nature and purposes of the various exercises being performed.A leisurely lunch break ensued before the first classes of Sweepstakes were called. Sweepstakes judge Dianne Johnson was patient and gentle with those youngsters still unsure and not yet able to take it all in stride. The quality of the 44 entries was such that it must have been difficult to pick winners from among so many that deserved to win.The event that everyone had been looking forward to, the 2nd Annual Tack Box Rat Show, was next on the schedule. Wendy Feist, whose fame as a TBR judge was not yet widely known, adjudicated on an entryIU _____ .......................................whose quality ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous An outstanding entry was Happie Jones Ch. Liber-Ratchee, dressed in flowing white satin cape and seated at his piano-complete with candelabra the whole ensemble on its tractable stage. Another hot contender from Louisiana whose name I didnt catch was a delinquent renegade from a Hells Angels motorcycle mob. Dressed in de rigeur black leather pants and jacket, he cut capers on his down-sized Harley Davidson that would turn Evil Knieval pea green with envy. Neither of these multiple BIS winners took home the cheese so to speak. The nod for top spot went to a homebred whose handler, Peter Galindo, outdid all others in style and manner of presentation-not to say, in bribing the judgeA cash bar at the lower level gave all a chance for refreshment and relaxation before trooping into the meeting room for potluck snacks and the Annual Meeting, the Minutes of which appear elsewhere in this issue. The newly elected Officers and Directors were introduced to the members present. Following adjournment of the Annual Meeting, the new Board held its first meeting, the Minutes of which also appear in this issue.Frank Oberstars first assignment was an entry of 4 in Junior Showmanship, followed by the Regular and Non-Regular classes for the breed. The wins in all segments of this Specialty are listed elsewhere. Suffice it to say that the Pom world can be proud of the quality of dogs, and the caliber of showmanship, exhibited once again at this top annual event for our breed. Ch. Starfires Totally Tempting, bred and owned by Jose Cabrera, and presented by Pamela Campbell, was Mr. Oberstars choice for the top spot over others with enviable win records.The banquet this year was conducted buffet style. The only complaint heard was that the selection of desserts ran out of Pecan Pies too soon I dont know if anyone tried the bread pudding for which the Marriott is famous I had it in the restaurant the next day and it is mmmmm-mmmm good. Judy Shearer presented the awards for the Top Winners, Top Breeders and Top Exhibitors-and other certificates for the numerous new championships and obedience titles earned by our members. There remained a number of items from the Silent Auction table, one of them an original painting by Audrey Roberts of Poms in the Kitchen-one of them trying to drink milk out of an old fashioned milk bottle Ma, I thought all milk came in cardboard cartons. As auctioneer, Peter Galindogallantly rose to the occasion and whipped the crowd into a frenzy of bidding, sending Olga Baker home with a red sweatshirt bearing the logo for "Obedience University" emblazoned in white on its front.So ended the 73rd Annual Specialty and Meeting-the 4th one held at the LaGuardia Marriott Hotel. It would appear that, again, there was no financial loss on the event. A detailed financial report is being prepared and will be published.Winners BitchDars Foxridge Mings CendreeIICANanian.5T. 1993Best of BreedCh. Starfires Totally TemptingaBnBest of Opposite Sex Ch.

This year wa extra special for me because you the member voted to have me judge the Sweepstakes What an honor to be respected by your peer enough to have them want your opinion oi their darling puppies and hopeful up anc coming champions.I look forward each year to seeing friends and colleagues from across this wonderful nation, who are dedicated to the Pomeranians Friday, as we prepared to leave for New York the weather was beautiful, warm foi February and sunny. Saturday and Sunda the weather left a lot to be desired, but whc cared We didnt have to leave the hotel. Monday was again sunny but a lot cooler-nice for traveling.Saturday, as I watched the first class file into the ring, I thought WOW These really look nice-then as I started examining them individually, I must say I was impressed. All the puppies I placed and several of the ones I didnt place should have very proud parents. Im sure that most of them will finish their championships.The winner of my 6-9 puppy class was Wee Hearts Fan the Flames bred by Cassandra Ready Evans and owned by Cassandra and Marlene and Marlin Presser, a very nicely put together Pom of heavy sable color with good balance and movement. He seemed to be a little more interested in playing and pitching woo with the ladies when he came back in the ring for best in Sweeps than he did in showing. Many times I have had puppies especially young male puppies completely forget all their training when they entered the1 c.ing. But I loved his spirit I thought he was narvelous.My first place 9-12 puppy dog was Someday leza Corker bred by Lorene Bradbury and iwned by Lorraine Hartup. He is a heavy oated orange with a beautiful head and xpression he moved nice and was showing ticely, and he was ultimately my Best Ipposite Sex in Sweepstakes.The 6-9 bitch class was my largest class as veil as having the most quality puppies. I wish could have given more than just four ribbons n this class. My winners was Subers impressive Indeed bred by Suzanne Bemey ind owned by Sue and Diana Downey. She is i lovely orange sable in beautiful condition ind showing as if she had been doing it all her ife. She had to work hard to win this class because all placements were in close contention for first prize. She was also in close contention for Best in Sweeps.When the 9-12 bitch class walked into the ring, my eyes immediately went to a beautiful arange lady that was practically hollering, 'Hey, look me over" When it was her turn on the table, I was even more impressed. What a lovely bitch I would have loved to stick her in my pocket and headed for home. She was G. Elms Little Mandy Gal V Watts bred by Ruth Beam and owned by Dolores Watts. She was my Best in Sweepstakes.As I was judging this Sweepstakes, my heart began to fill with pride about the achievements of you, the Pomeranian breeders. You are doing a marvelous job improving the quality of our wonderful Poms. Type was exceptional so judging was not reduced to sifting through the dogs of type trying to find soundness. I found on the whole heads to be very nice with good expressions and pretty faces and very appealing. Coats were good overall the quality was not too cotton like, and on the most part good condition. The rears have improved quite a bit over the years making it a pleasure not to be standing in a ring full of cowhocks.There are two areas that definitely need the attention of dedicated breeders. They are bites and low in shoulders.I was a little disappointed in the number of bad bites I found. Remember an undershot mouth is a major fault and overshot is a minor fault. I also found a few wry mouths. This is an important undertaking for Pom breeders. Teeth can be a problem in toy dogs. To begin with their small sized muzzle can cause a problem with placement of teeth as well as quality of dentition. Dont forget there are dogs with excellent dentition as well as goodbites, and good teeth are inherited so make that an important part of your overall requirements when choosing your stud dogs and brood bitches.I urge Pom breeders to recognize the problem of "low in shoulders" and work diligently to correct such an unappealing structural fault. This fault throws the whole balance of the dog out of kilter and destroys the overall movement. It keeps the head and neck from flowing smoothly into the shoulder and destroys the topline. End of soap box.I had someone question me, so I will tell you my theory about Pomeranian size. If I have before me a Pom that has good type, structure, and movement and no major faults, I dont care if it weighs 3 pounds or 7 pounds, it is within the standard and should not be discriminated against because of personal preference to large or small Poms.As I close this letter, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful time in the Big Apple at the American Pomeranian Club, Inc. 73rd Annual Specialty.TfESCANlN ANHOTOBest in Puppy Sweepstakes G Elms Little Mandy Gal V Watts\NAESIRICANIRANIANLUB7,1993 EY PHOTO,1 NUTTINGBest Veteran in Sweepstakes Ch.

My very capable ing stewards were Carolyn Crockett and Olga laker. These fine ladies kept things orderly nd kept me on my toes. They filled in as iooper scoopers and garbage collectors, and, or some unknown reason, spectators felt a leed to toss some in the ring. All of which vas very recyclable.There were many lovely rats to choose from his year. My choice was a difficult one, but ilas, I could only choose one best rat My hoice was a stylish, yet pleasantly simple ipecimen owned by new Second ice-President Jim Shearer. This rat has a irofuse coat and proper nose and tail. With a nost proper set of feet a judge has yet to udgeMy best Opposite Sex to Best of Breed went o a bedazzeling beauty owned by Erika Moreau. This rat bitch I must say was dressed o the ninesMy Winners rat and Best of Winners rat went to a very unusual specimen to judge. Both owner and rat were a unique team to say the least. My Winners Bitch rat was a lovely blue specimen owned by Patricia Foley, who as we all know is famous for her exotics, and in the rat show she was true to form.I must thank Julie Moreno for all her assistance in the collecting of fines and other unmentionables. Show Chairperson, Dolly Trauner, was the best She made it a special event. She provided rats at a fee of course to those who forgot theirs. She and her helpers took entries and the list goes on As new APC President, she will truly get the job done This pair had some truly insightful advice.I am proud to announce that this years TBR show earned the APC a record breaking 418.50 We all had a fun time, and it was through the participation of all involved that made it an event to remember.The overall quality of my entries was fantastic. A few areas could be worked on. Looser leads, no scissoring, no rats smoking, no hair weaves, and dyeing of rats needs to be worked on. I did have a great concern over the lack of exhibitors knowing the sex of theirrats Come on, People, its just a matter of knowing the birds and bees Gosh And for those who dont know all rats must be spayed or neutered This is very disruptive as you well know how prolific this breed is-stud servicing in the rings is forbiddenMy list of more memorable fines I hesitate to list, but in fairness to those who asked for it, here it is. Stealing. This was a problem this year. The fine was one to five dollars depending on the number of offenses. Touching. A few exhibitors had a problem keeping their hands to themselves. Need I say more Obscene language and gestures. You know who you were. Such carried a five dollar fme for each offense. Assaulting the judge. This is a 10.00 fme and no exceptions. The judge has healed nicely. Criticizing the judge by exhibitor or onlooker. This offense carried a fine, each fine given according to the comment. Making the judge blush. This carried a five dollar fine. Grooming a non-rat. This rule was strictly enforced and carried a one dollar fine.This event encourages good, not so clean fun For those who dont know how all this works, here it is. The spectators and the exhibitors alike are encouraged to bribe the judge and ring stewards as this action can weigh heavily on the judges decision The standard will be available later in the year. I am pleased to announce that I am chairing this event next year in New York The trophies will be big, big, big You will all be surprised so save your dollars and get to work on your prospects If you would like to donate to the trophy fund, or have a trophy you would like to donate, let me know.

I hear it took two hours to judge this event. It must be remembered that this is an important fund raiser for our Club And we all have a good time in the process, and next year....well...stay tuned and watch your mail boxes for details for next year.Obedience NewsbyLinda Gailacher 1990 Ridgeway Drive Eugene, OR 97401 503 686-2316I have had no correspondence from readers recently, but the Gazette Awards issues brought news of heavy Pom obedience activity October through December.My own dogs have had somewhat of a vacation from training lately. Pogo had a problem with the skin on the pads of his feet actually peeling off, leaving raw spots that were painful for him to walk on. My Vet has still not found the cause, but Pogos feet are finally doing better. Bizzy was spayed. I had decided not to breed her again until she had earned her UD. Then I realized that she would be way too old to whelp puppies when that momentous day occurred I had the surgery done while she was in a sweet, loving, eager-to-please mood. Someone told me that I might lock in these personality traits I can only hope At the Columbia Pomeranian Club Specialty we had a breakthrough She not only jumped the Bar jump-she jumped it twice. The following weekend, I thought we might actually have a chance. However, Bizzy had other ideas. When I sent her for her glove on the directed retrieve exercise, she ran out to the correct glove, sniffed it, stared at it for a moment...and then ran happily back to me without the glove. Incidentally, she did a beautiful job on the rest of the exercises, including the directed jumpingThe Columbia Pomeranian Club Specialty had only myself and Ann Griffith entered with 4 dogs in the regular classes. This was not a large enough entry for a qualifying leg, not that it mattered. None of our dogs managed to earn a qualifying score. Our two non-regular entries and Anns brace did a nice job. My "Sundae" Sunswept Hot Fudge Sundae UD was High Non-Regular from the Veterans Class closely followed by Anns Ollie Blue Bluster CD from Graduate Novice. Ollie will be out in Open very soon.Alice Lessard has a new puppy in her life. I understand that this little "Keno" son is just dynamite Be watching for "Odysseys Just Do It" in both the conformation and obedience rings. Alice says little "Nike" is just what she had been looking for. Another dog that could excel in both ringsExciting news Another Pom has earned her UD Lindsey of Dover-Holihouse UD finished with 5 qualifying scores in Octoberand November after earning her first leg June. I met Lindsey when she was just puppy. At the time she belonged to Dia Bauman ownertrainer of OTCH Noahs Ab Ka Dabra. Diane was in Washington to do seminar and had brought Lindsey along.

Dom Deluises, or mething like that. Her mother has a bumper icker on her car that says, "Ask me about my randdogs."Now, I really am a dog lover, but these ty-bitty things are not dogs. They are fur alls with eyes. I have lymph nodes bigger lan these things.I like big dogs because you can squeeze em nd hug em. If you squeeze and hug these ttle buggers, you end up with Pomeranian lly in your hand.When I hadnt been married too long, I tade the mistake of telling my mother-in-law tat I had always wanted a St. Bernard."Oh, yuck" she said. "Do you want some gly, hairy thing slobbering all over you""I married your son, didnt I"And thats another thing that makes me rad.My mother-in-law also breeds these dogs, he takes her females to other breeders for tud service and provides her own stud ervice.Well, in lieu of paying a huge stud fee, I Lecided to marry Kim instead. When I xpressed dissatisfaction with her son, my nother-in-law refused to take him back."What do you want from me she asked. You got two good breedings out of him"Yeah, in 10 years of marriage.My in-laws travel all over taking their dogs o dog shows. If youre unfamiliar with dog howing, just think of it as Miss America with ur and a strange "perfume."I remember the first time my mother-in-law lad a dog qualify as a champion. There was hampagne and food, good cheer and aughter-for her. I could just imagine what tar was thinking "Look at Miss Leashjerker ver there. Living it up, while Im imprisonedin this stupid thing. How come I do all the work and she gets all the fun. Maybe shes just jealous that Im prettier than she is."If a Martian were to land in the middle of a dog show, with all the Air Streamer campers, grooming paraphernalia and assorted canines and their owners, theyd have quite a tale to tell their leaders. I can just imagine their report"The Earthlings have a curious way of dealing with their young offspring. To begin with they put them on long cord-like things they call leashes, parade them around other Earthlings, who then choose their favorite. These favorites are then shoved into a small carton-like object while the older Earthlings gorge themselves on food and beverage."What would happen if the dogs decided to turn the tables on us I can imagine my mother-in-law standing on one of the exhibition tables having her legs and teeth checked and evaluated. In fact, I think Id rather like to see her in that position. I think Id kinda like to be the judge even.If dogs ruled the world, these are things we just might see President George Keeshond would promise two fire hydrants in every garage. Our Vice-President might even have an intelligent thought in his head. The hit shows of the season might be "Designing Dams," "Home Training Improvement," and "Knots-in-my-Fur Landing."Oh gosh. Think Ill quit now.

Great Elms, Browns, Creider, Hoods, Emcee, English Preservenes, Cynpeg and, HadleighPom-PourriPom News from the United Kingdom and Europeby Miss Eve SmailI am delighted to be able to add something new to the already excellent Pomeranian Review. Let me introduce myself to you. I am a British Breeder of some eighteen years in Poms and live in Scotland just outside Edinburg. My Toybox, Reg. Poms have achieved many top awards in the UK, and I have several top Champions around the world. Hopefully I can bring you news and views from outside the USA and bring to you items of interest which all Pom lovers love to hear.It is Christmas Eve as I write, and most British Pom breeders are looking forward to Crufts Dog Show, which is the start and highlight of our showing year. To those who have never been to the UK and especially Crufts, our shows are on a huge scale despite the size of our country. Most all Breed Championship Shows will have an entry of about 10.000 to 14,000 dogs, and they are held over three and sometimes four days, with different Groups of combinations of Groups on each day. Crufts is held in Birmingham, about 100 miles from London, over four days, and the entry is about 16,000 dogs. There 156 Poms entered under Breed Judge Mr. S. Findlay-Bissitt Cygal Poms.The National Exhibition Centre is a huge complex which amply houses both exhibitors and the many stalls which exhibit every thing doggy you can imagine. The huge scale of the show makes it breathtaking. It was held in London for many years, but this new venue makes life much easier for parking , and the like.You cannot just enter Crufts your dog has to qualify at a Championship show throughout the year. A first or second in one of three age classes, or a first, second, or third in the higher classes is required. Easy you might think, but at every Championship show in the UK, you will get between 60 and 150 dogs present on that day, so winning is not so easy. Breeders are also Championship Judges. Who better to judge them than those who breed them. Let me explain the UK system of finishing, or "making up" a Champion. We have 6-9 months puppy, 6-12 month puppy, 6-18 months Junior, Post Graduate, Limit, and Open for each sex. Post Grad and limit are classes which you must not enter a Championor dogs which have won a certain numbei firsts. Open is the class where all Champi and dogs reaching their Championships h to go. We have no Specials Class. In orde become a Champion in the UK your mal female has to beat every other Pom of tl sex on that day, including Champions, so can see how a British Champion is a re prized dog which may have had to beat upward dogsClass winners come in and compete fc Challenge Certificate or "CC" and you n three under three different judges to becorr Champion. There is a Reserve CC offered, this does not count to a Championship am used, only should the CC winner disqualified, to show who the ju considered next in line.We may also show our dogs in South Ireland. There, the system is a little differ Instead of Challenge Certificates, they awarded Green Stars. These range from point up to ten points, with five and ten be majors. You need 40 points for a Champi and again all Champions compete against dogs entered. You may be proud to hear t my own American and Irish Champi Muller Kazar Sungold Illusion at Toyboi the top Pom there to date with my own Ir Champion Toybox Bubbling Over, be knocked off the top spot by him. Illusion v sent to me by your own Anna LaFortu Bubbling Over is now in the USA with Ly Heise of Texas, so it really is hands across i water. When you win a Group over here, il really something as the Toy Group has all members competing, and the number of T dogs at a Championship show is 2,000 4,500. Group wins do not count towards Championship in the UK, but they do Ireland, although they do count towards D of the Year and Top Dog.I will have a six-hour drive to Crufts and overnight stay. I will spend a lot of money, tired, and have sore feet. Before the six-hc drive home, I will swear NEVER to do again....until next year. I will write you account of the show next time. Pom lovers the same all around the world we wish o lives away waiting until that very special ne puppy can make it into the ring and want pack it all in when things go wrong. At the e of the day, we are all still there, thinkir doing, and talking Poms. I hope to talk Por with all of you soon.BAYOU VIEWProudly Presentsi VCh.

BOX 1943 MORGAN CITY, LA 70381 504 384-0486JOHN LEWIS ADAM VERRETT 5lP4Color Genetics as Applied to the Pomeranian, Part IIIby Shirley HoffmanFor the more than 27 years I have been in the fancy, misunderstanding and confusion have been synonymous with the term "beaver." No one appears to know anything about it. Many attempted to attach significance to the color of the wild beaver. That is futile because the color of that rodent differs from area to area. To my knowledge, the term is not used to describe a color in any other breed although the color is accepted in several of them. It is time to remove the mystery to a degree which leaves no room for doubt.The present standard says, "The beaver dog is a dark beige." It further states, "eye rims and nose should be self-colored in blues or browns." It neglects to specify that beaver belongs in the brown class. If a standard is going to recognize a color, at least let it describe this color so it may be understood and recognized. Above all, make it a color which is possible in nature. No wonder there is confusion.One point must be clearly established The beaver dog is liver, or if you prefer, chocolate in genetic constitution. He can never produce black in any part of the body ie, coat, skin, nose, lips, eye rims, pads, or nails. He is a chocolate dog belonging to the yellow series, which means he can be any intensity from rich chestnut red through the oranges, and because of the gene cch to cream, to light lemon yellow if influenced by ee in which case there would be little or no shading dark to light on the undersides of the body.If the animal is orange because of the gene av, he can be light orange or a rich red orange with varying degrees of light shading. If the dog is sable in constitution, he will have chocolate tipping on the guard hairs instead of black because he cannot produce black ie, chocolate-sable, and also showing shading to lighter hues on the underside of the body and tail. Some persist in the belief that beaver can be only chocolate-sable this is untrue and those ideas should be corrected.All of these colors are accompanied by varying degrees of liver pigment in the nose, eye rims, and lips ranging from deep pink, fawn, tan, and shades of brown, depending on the degree of dilution exerted by the bb dilution genes. As a general rule, nose color will be more intense in the puppy than in the adult.Since bb dilution genes affect pigment in all areas of the body, eye color will range fromamber to brown, will be generally lighter color than those of orange, red, and sable do with black noses. Bums and Fraser "A d which has the formula bb apparently cann produce any black pigment anywhere in t body it is, therefore, no use in breede demanding a black nose or the very dark ey in such dogs. In fact, in all breeds in whi liver is permitted, the standard of poir permits brown noses and lighter eyes with tfc coat color. Rather illogically, the san concession is not always made to liver-nos yellow dogs eg, Cocker Spaniels."Breeders and judges have been condition to discriminate against anything but bla points on sable, red, and cream Pom therefore, a beaver is rejected as having po pigment, scoffed at as being inferior becau of his light nose, eye rims, and eyes. They c not have enough genetic knowledge recognize what they are looking at.Twenty-three years ago, a breeder of 5 years experience, pointed out to me a Pon with a coat the color of a ripe apricot wii liver points as being an excellent beav specimen. Beaver, then, is any shade c lemon, cream, orange, red, or chocolate sab] in which no black hairs appear any where i the coat. Nose and eye rim color range froi deep pink to shades of brown. Somewh lighter eyes are permitted.Summary of GenesA SeriesAs allows the distribution of dark pigmer over the whole body surfaceType-Newfoundland, Chesapeake Ba Retriever black, chocolate, and blue Pon depending on influence of genes other than A of course.Ay restricts markedly the areas of pigmen and in its most complete expression produce a clear sable or tan dog. Type-Basenji, Irisl Terrier Sable in this instance does no necessarily refer to the term "sable" a described in the Pomeranian Standard, bu rather to all shades of yellow fawn througl gold to dark mahogany and may or may no have a few dark or black hairs scattered ove the whole body or restricted to certain areas. I may also include individuals which have hair with some dark topping.A1 produces the bicolor varieties black and tan, liver and tan, and the like.

We have moved to the country, a new home on three acres overlooking a lake. We have built a larger kennel to accommodate Johns boarding and handling business. There is a separate Pom room, with a large adjoining exercise area. We have incorporated a Nursery Room just off the Family Room where we socialize all our puppies. There is an exercise yard just outside the door for expectant, and nursing mothers and puppies.Sadly, the original dogs are gone now. Can. Am. Ch. Millamors Rock Medallion, his daughters Can., Am. Ch. Chriscendo Coy Coquette and Carlotta, but through their offspring, they live on. We have added a few more new females, which we are carefully incorporating into our breeding program. Our males are strongly linebred on Medallion, and we constantly evaluate each breeding with a long range plan for quality and consistency. In our last visit Medallions champion get numbered four. Today he has become on of the breeds most influential sires in Canada with 28 Champions and 10 American.We bred two of Medallions kids together, his first son, Can., Am. Ch. Chriscendo Causin A Commotion 15 BIS in Canada owned by Fred and Kay Baxstrome, to Can., Am., Ch Chriscendo Carlotta, a Canadian BIS winner from the puppy class. They gave us Can., Am. Ch Chriscendo Causin Comment, who wouldsire Confetti, dam of Calvin Klein. Causin A Commotion also sired multiple BIS winner. Can. Ch. Chriscendo Cause For Applause, who was one of the top Poms in Canada. Medallion also produced top offspring for others. Can., Am., Ch. Bavanews Master Skylark, multiple BIS winner and top producer for Matt Heindl. Can., Am., Ch. Bells Chriscendo Carmichael, multiple BIS winner in the US and Champion producer for Rex and Betty Bell. Our own Medallion daughter, Can. Ch. Chriscendo Chatelaine, bred to Ch. Emcees Sparkling Chip, produced Am. Ch. Chriscendo Western Express, siring some beautiful puppies for Cassandra Evans. When Chatelaine was bred to Ch. Millamors Rock of Dixieland, she produced Can. Ch. Chriscendo Charisma, Canadian BID winner from the puppy class. But before selling Chatelaine, she was bred to Can., Am. Ch. Millamors Rock Concert. That son grew up to become Can. , Am. Ch. Chriscendo City Lights ROMX. "Peter" has achieved super status as a sire thanks to his co-owner Sue Goddard, to whom we will always be indebted. "Peter" has produced more than 20 American Champions including the BIS winning boys Ch. Tim Sues High Lights, Harbour Lights, and Distant Lights. His grand children are starting to come into their own too. The first one who comes to mind is Cheryl Jackson and Joel Taylors Ch. Glen Iris Castle Rock, who was Best of Breed at the Garden this year. "Peter" visited us for a short time lastritThe Houseear and when bred to Calvin Kleins sister produced the young BIS winner, Can. Ch. Vlaracaibo Masterplan, for Fred and Kay Baxstrome.A Chatelaine daughter, Chriscendo Cassandra, was bred to Medallion and produced a lovely litter of three, all hampions, Can. Ch. Chriscendo Castile, Can. Ch. Chriscendo Castle Rock, who is still an excellent producer for Matt Heindl. The other sister became Can., Am. Ch. Chriscendo Classique, co-owned with Judy Green. Classique is best known as the dam of the lovely Can., Am. Ch. Chriscendo Classica, sired by Ch. Great Elms Firestarter. She is co-owned with Dough And Robert Stratton. She was Top Pom in Canada the past two years and has five BIS wins in Canada. Classica was Best Opposite Sex at this years APC show in February.Our own Medallion son, Can., Am Ch. Chriscendo Calvin Klein, has just been awarded ROM status both in Canada and the US. Calvins Champions total 16, eight in each country. He, too, is producing Best in Show winners, Can., Am. Ch. Chriscendo Cover Girl, who won the prestigious United Kennel Club Show in Montreal as a puppy. Before she left with her new owner, Ed Jenner, she won the Puppy of the Year Competition. She went on to win several Groups in the US.Calvin was bred to a Medallion daughter and produced two champion brothers, Ch. Chriscendo Contender, a multiple Group winner, owned by Diane Carrier, and our Can., Am Ch. Chriscendo Cloudbuster, who is also a Best in Show winner. He left behind some lovely puppies after his visit with .7 . -A -I "-7 .... . .The Kennel. AmCan Ch. Chriscendo Calvin KleinMorris and Betty Carson. Several are pointed or nearing their titles.Our breedings are always thought out well in advance. We often find ourselves planning who we will breed puppies to even as they lay in the whelping box We study each female with both her pedigree and her physical structure in mind. We try to retain the sound legs and bodies, and reach for the elusive "type" and work towards combining the two. We always keep in mind a "picture" of what we want to produce. We do very few true outcrosses, choosing to use dogs whose producing abilities as well as their pedigrees, we admire. We always prefer dogs who go back to the "roots" our dogs go back to. We concentrate the gene pool, remembering that the quickest death of a line is constant outcrossing. People often rush to buy or breed to the current winner. The hybrid produced is a strong healthy offspring that often has many of the characteristics of both parents, but when combined into another line, often spells disaster.We tend to breed our females for two or three litters, and then keep a daughter to carry on. We place section bitches in pet homes, and often make our best producers available to breeders who can provide these girls a "retirement" out of a kennel situation. We feel a kennel is hardest on older dogs, and we have always been able to find wonderful homes for our girls who have given us so much.All our puppies are whelped in the Nursery Room we usually have very few litters at one time so each gets very individual attention. As soon as the puppies start walking, we start table training, andbvc tc..'d.xy-viAmCan Ch. Chriscendo Coco Chanelserious grooming. They spend evenings with us so we not only watch their personalities develop but evaluate each puppys conformation. Lead training is not done until the puppy willingly follows us, that seems to be the least traumatic way At three months, we separate the pet puppies from the litter, and we run on any potential show puppies until they are at least six months old. We are just as careful where we place puppies as we are in how we breed them. It is important to put each puppy where he can reach his fullest potential. What good is a top producer with someone with no bitches to breed, or the top show dog with someone who never Specials a dog. The most difficult thing is that we have so few puppies, and we just dont have enough to share with everyone. We feel we have put many puppies with just the right people and are eternally grateful to those people who have made sure each has the best chance.Much has changed, but so much remains the same. We still keep our numbers at 10-15 adults. We still plan every breeding with the next generation in mind. We still value the long time friendships of breeders like Ken and Eleanor Miller, Tim and Sue Goddard, and all the new friends we have made over the years. We thank everyone who continues to support us and admire the dogs. Our biggest thanks goes to Kim Baxstrome who not only takes all the beautiful photographs of our dogs, but is as devoted to them as we are."Vision without effort is just dreaming.Effort without dreaming is wasted.But with effort and dreams, great thingscan be accomplished."Haiku KennelsAloha, Chris and John Heartz from the balmy skies of Hawaii to the less than balmy but beautiful Nova Scotia.

As always, some have changed some have stayed the same. You, the members, have spoken. Im sure we would all like to thank our past officers and all who worked to get our club out of the red. With our new president at the helm, it is full steam aheadMany of us are financially strained and are unable to contribute monetarily, but we can still contribute our time, thoughts, and actions to benefit the American Pomeranian Club and the Pomeranian breed. When we joined this Club, we accepted this responsibility. We must keep in mind, we are in it for the good and welfare of APC and the Pomeranian, not for ourselves.Our new President, Dolly Trauner, has asked me to chair the Pomeranian Standard Committee. We have already started to work on this, but do want your input.

The articles are taken from the AKC Gazette and authored by Mr. Vincent Matta who was secretary of the APC for many years. Our thanks to Mrs. Ruth Beam for submitting them.Interpretation of Pom Standard Part IIn order to be of real help to the beginner, I believe that a breakdown in detail of the Pomeranian Standard should be made so that it will assist the newcomer in interpreting the various items. In my opinion, this Standard is a very good one but it is, of necessity, condensed to a great degree and, while clear enough to those well acquainted with the breed, cannot help being a bit of a problem to the uninitiated. However, before I plunge into this work, I want to make clear that this interpretation is not intended as an official one, but is only an expression of opinion based on personal study of the breed, long association with the same, plus a deep consideration for the opinions of well-known judges and breeders. The different items will be considered separately and in the order given in the Standard. I shall begin at the beginning. Here it is"Appearance-The Pomeranian in build and appearance should be a compact, short-coupled dog, well-knit in frame. His head and face should be fox-like, with small erect ears that appear sensible to every sound he should exhibit great intelligence in his expression, docility in his disposition and activity and buoyancy in his deportment. 10 points"That is almost clear enough. A Pom must be short, compact, and well-proportioned. Old timers say "a Pom must be square," meaning that to be rightly shaped, he or she must measure as much in height as in length and besides, when the proper amount of coat is present the expression "as broad as he is long" fits very well. In a nutshell a Pom that looks like a veritable ball of fur when viewed from any angle has the ideal appearance. The well-knit frame requires a fairly broad chest with well-rounded up ribs. No matter how small, a Pom must be sturdy and solid.As to the fox-like head and face, beware ol taking that too literally for even though the outline is wedge-shaped in both, a real Poms head does not look like the head of a fox and there is-or there should be-no mistaking one for another. The sensibility of ears to every sound should not be taken to mean that the ears must work up and down or sideways continuously. A sound should make a Pom prick his ears and hold them there.The docility and intelligence of expression goes with the head and eyes and will be discussed when we get to those points. The activity and buoyancy of deportment is what is usually referred to as action and movement. The Pom must stand on his toes and not on flat feet and his moving must be free and easy and vivacious-and not sluggish. A Pom is not a lap dog and loves to stand on his good legs and use them.Second item of the Standard in the next issue.Bonner Kennel VisitBecause Dorothy has been ill, Joan Reilly will write her kennel visit.
