He weighs 4 12 pounds and stands on four perfect legs. When a dog of this quality appears, we have to give thanks to all that made him possible. By looking at his six generation pedigree, we find that Ch. Corns Duke Dragonfly appears nine times and Ch. Bonners Kristin Starmist seven times. Over the years the blending of these two dogs has proved to be our "golden cross."Several years ago we had the pleasure of visiting the Bakers and seeing Duke on his own territory. You get to know a dog when he is in his own home. Mostly possesses the same attention getting personality that Duke did.We would like to thank his handlers, Rollie and Evelyn Conley for presenting him in the show ring and for the wonderful care they gave him while he was in Michigan. Special thanks to Gertrude Howell for the use of his sire, Dal-Leas News Banner. We feel very proud to have bred this dog, for at long last, we feel we have come very close to having our very own "Duke." He will be at stud in at our kennel in Nebraska.Future Kennel VisitsSeptember lssue...Charlotte Creed of Southland Pomeranians November Issue...Julie Moreno of Morenos Pomeranianslp Jtommnum JUutoof theAmerican Pomeranian Club, Inc.President...........................First Vice-President..........Second Vice-President....Recording Secretary.........Corresponding SecretaryT reasurer..........................AKC Delegate..................Officers of the ClubRural Route 3 Washington, IN 47501POB 4207 Pineville, LA 71361-4207Dolly B.

Prior notice required.Reservations and Deposit required on all CoversPresidents Messageby Dolly TraunerOnce a dog has been individually registered with AKC nothing in that registration can be changed. WRONGLike many other breeds, Pomeranian puppies are seldom bom the color they will become as adults-or even as teen-agers. The owner of a dog incorrectly registered as to color can apply to AKC for a new registration certificate showing the dogs correct color. AKCs records will also be changed to show this correction. Anyone ordering a certified pedigree from AKC on which colors are indicated will thenceforth receive a pedigree showing the colors as corrected.It is not uncommon for the inexperienced person, looking at a very young puppy that is destined to mature as an orange-sable, to believe it will retain its present dark color into adulthood. Many such puppies are being incorrectly registered as "wolf-sables," a color of extreme rarity in an adult Pomeranian. The true wolf-sable Pom shows no hint of orange in its areas of light coloring. In this respect the color is often compared to that of the Keeshond or Norwegian Elkhound. If there is any warmth to the light areas, the Pom is actually a dilute orange- or cream-sable.About three years ago, AKC reprogrammed its computerized registration software to handle colors by numeric code. Some how, some Pom colors fell through the cracks and-although "wolf-sable" got put on the blue slip-cream-sable got dropped altogether. AKC was refusing to accept cream-sable as a legitimate color designation for Pom registrationsI am happy to announce that Pamela Mathews, AKC Director of Registrations, has been most helpful and cooperative in correcting and expanding the entire list of colors for Poms, both as to those most common colors listed on the blue slips, and those other less common colors that AKC will also accept. This is a preliminary announcement of these changes and improvements. More details will be published as soon as AKC has effected the necessary changes to enable it to issue blue slips bearing the updated listings.Pomeranians are not known to have serious eye problems, but some conscientious owners are taking the time and trouble to have their dogs eyes checked for possible hereditary problems. Chief among the eye problems that do occur in the breed are cataracts. These aregenerally small, do not seem to progress, and, therefore do not appear to cause much, if any, visual impairment. Nevertheless, these owners having checked, especially the breeding stock, are to be commended. Even more to be commended are those taking the additional step of having those normal eyes registered with the Canine Eye Registration Foundation at Purdue University. A permanent number is assigned to those applying for registration of normal dogs, as is the case with OFA registration. What may not be generally known is that this registration information, from both OFA and CERF, is being incorporated by AKC in their computerized record of that individual dog. This has been especially important in some breeds plagued with genetically caused diseases that often result in blindness.During 1992 some 22 Pomeranians had their eyes checked by a Veterinary Ophthalmologist and the results reported to CERF by the examining doctor. Of these, 17 were found to have normal eyes free of genetic or other defects 5 were found to have problems ranging from Keritoconjunctivitis Sica Dry Eye to Cataracts.Jerrie Freia is owed a vote of thanks and appreciation by the Board and the Club for the very attractive job done on the 1993 Roster.

ReedJudgingby Shirley Ann HoffmanWhen judging any breed, one should have the standard of perfection firmly in mind. The standard, however, does not explain everything a judge must know, how he should go about his assignment, nor can it possibly eliminate, entirely, the element of personality or dictate the degree of a judges integrity.Great judges, like great show dogs, are bom not made. These people have a natural aptitude, an instinct for knowing when a dog is put together properly. Judging assignments are easy for them they enjoy their work and one feels comfortable in the ring when exhibiting under such a judge. He does not lose his patience when confronted with an awkward novice, but rather he corrects with a gentle hand. He is a gentleman who is sure of his ability to evaluate a dog.Anyone attempting to assess comparative merits in dogs of any breed should familiarize himself with correct structure as it involves bones and muscles, the interaction and correctness of which allows a dog to propel itself in any gait with the least amount of waste motion. Lack of correct structure will slow and tire a dog as surely as will a defective heart, inadequate or diseased lungs, poor circulation, or anemia therefore, it is essential that parts must be correct as they relate to the whole in order to achieve soundness in any animal. Poor or defective engineering can best be detected in a dog when it is being gaited at a trot. A clever handler can sometimes cover up or minimize some of these faults by gaiting the dog at a more advantageous speed or by showing the animal on a tight lead, this to such a degree that the front feet sometimes make no contact with the ground. Should this be the circumstance the judge may certainly request that the dog be gaited at the speed on which he wishes to make his appraisal. He may also demand that the dog be gaited on a loose lead. Failure to comply with such a request on the part of the handler should make any judgesuspicious and would be ample reason for downgrading the specimen.An inexperienced or careless handler can foul a dog to such an extent that the animal appears faulty in gait when actually he is not.A dog in poor condition will not be able to move out smartly, be alert, and be buoyant in action. Whatever the cause, on closer examination, even the animal which appears to have correct action may be found to lack muscle tone and development, be too fat, or so thin he cannot navigate properly.Many fanciers and some judges give little credence to soundness and condition in the toy dog preferring to dismiss these features as superfluous in such breeds as do not perform an act of work. Such judging is not in the best interest of any breed since structural faults cannot be eliminated if they are perpetuated by the pillars of the breed as champions.The toy functions mainly as a companion and alarm dog. The very fact that the toy must take many steps to cover the same distance covered by a large breed with one step makes it mandatory that he not be encumbered by poor engineering. In order to perform his duties properly, he must have stamina therefore, he must be put together properly. Remember, you must judge each do as he is in the ring that day, not as you think he may be in the future.One must be on guard that he not judge negatively. A judge who sees only the faults of a dog may pass up a nice specimen. By the present AKC schedules, you have about three minutes to judge each dog.As the dogs enter the ring-judge, dogs, and handlers may relax until the ring steward affirms all dogs entered in that class are present or declared absent. The judge then asks exhibitors to move the dogs counterclockwise in a circle around the ring on a loose lead. As the dogs move, the judge looks at each dog which moves in turn as it gaits around the ring. There is usually at least one dog which catches his eye as being well put together and which is moving in a sound, correct gait, presents an overall picture as being a good representative of the breed.How does the dog carry its head, its tail Does he have good ring presence, appear at ease as he gaits Does he waste a great deal of motion going up and down, or does he move smoothly around the ring Does he pick up his feet Shuffle Can you find a major fault in this otherwise goodlooking dog by watching it gait If not, mark this standout for number oneContinued on page 54Presenting...The FOXRIDGE BOYSFIEVELThe son of Ch.

State Street Mischicot, Wl 54228Color Me...To be, or not to be that is the question. Pomeranian coat color is a subject widely discussed. Being an educator, with an Art major, I work with many hues of color. Pomeranian colors can range from the Irish Setter reds to whites or almost whites. Shades of that total spectrum are acceptable Pomeranian colors. Various shades of reds can blend into a dark orange, which blend into a light orange. Some people may call a very light orange, a dark cream. Creams can range from dark cream to light cream. Other breeders may call a very light cream, white.Our Pomeranian Standard allows, among other colors, any solid color with lighter or darker shadings of the same color. Before we discuss other colors, let us go back to our color classification that may be used to divide the open class at a Specialty Show.The Standard says the open class may be divided at a Specialty show. It mentions nothing about dividing the open class at an all-breed show, but it can be done if the entry is large enough to warrant it. Some clubs do it, if it is warranted or not.A number of years ago, most of the all-breed shows divided their open classes. The classes were divided into different color classifications than those that were allowed at Specialty shows, Open Orange Open Any Other Allowed Color. Many exhibitors who were not aware of this differentiation, or were not careful enough, were disqualified for being entered in the wrong open color class at a Specialty. The APC Board, at that time, was instrumental in having AKC change the All-breed open color classes to correspond to the Specialty open classes. That is, as it is now stated in the Pomeranian Standard, Open Red, Orange, Cream, Sable Open Black, Brown, Blue Open Any Other Allowed Color.When Open was divided into Open Orange Open Any Other Allowed Color, there used to be arguments over whether a Pom in the Open Orange class was sable, if it had only a few black hair tips on the body coat, or if it was truly a sable, with black guard hair tips on itsentire body coat. They argued over whether a dark cream was orange or a light orange was dark cream. To hopefully end the "color" arguments, the Open classes were divided into those classes currently stated in the Standard. There need not be arguments over whether a Pom is orange, red, cream, or sable, because those colors are all in the same Open class. Consequently, there need not be any concern in the show ring, whether a Pom is black, blue, or brown. Those colors are all in the same Open class. This left the parti-color, black and tans, and white in the Any Other Allowed Color class. These are the only other colors described in the Standard.You would think this would end color classification discussion. Not quite Since creams are in the ROCS class and whites are the AOAC class, a very light cream with lighter whitish shadings, or a white with darker creamish shadings could be in either of those classes, since any solid color with lighter or darker shadings is allowed.Granted, whites or creams, or your perception of same, are in the minority, but there are more light creams whites currently being shown than when I campaigned my first ones. Does anyone remember Ch. Pomirish Cr. Puffs Only Chance Since Chance, there have been many good creams shown. The Bakers "Prince" son is one that comes to mind.Dolly Trauner has been diligently working toward producing the near perfect black Pom and top quality chocolates for many years. The gene pool has increased for parti-colors since the first parti champion, Madam Butterfly. Numerous black and tans are now being shown. In fact some shows, in certain areas of the country, have more "other" colors than orange. It is gratifying to see breeders trying to perfect the quality of the "other" color Poms and to see more judges giving them equal consideration, according to the Standard. Some of the "other" color show-breeder kennels that come to mind are Dover-Holihouse, Aldens, Silva Lade, Southland, Finch, Gravenhorst, Ballykin, Forever Yours, and Feisty. I may have left some out, but lets see you advertise. Show the judges the quality is here, and you mean business.Now back to the original intent of this article.There are some colors in the Pomeranian that are not mentioned in the Standard. Beaver, brindle, chocolate and tan, blue and tan. There is a one and only chocolate and tan champion, Silva Lade Almond Joy. Those colors do exist Should we exclude these unmentioned colors in our Standard or continue to deny them Should we say that all colors are acceptable There are presently no disqualifications. Should we say a blaze on a parti-color is preferred, as the Papillon Standard does Or....do we want the color paragraph of the Standard to remain unchangedTo be, or not to be that is the question. If it is to be changed, rewrite that paragraph exactly as you would like to see it worded in the Standard, and send it to me before December 1, 1993. What color should we color you Indifferent, or involvedThought for the month Everything comes in cansI can, you can, we canInterpretation of the Pom Standardby Vincent Matta 1945The second paragraph of the Pomeranian Standard is devoted to the head which, in importance, is comparable to the coat and to the structure of the body. I quote "The head should be somewhat foxy in outline or wedge-shaped. The skull being slightly flat, large in proportion to the muzzle which should finish rather fine and be free from lippiness. The teeth should be level and no account undershot. The head in its profile may exhibit a little stop which however must not be too pronounced and the hair on the head and face must be smooth or short coated. 5 pointsLest the limitation to five points allotted above might give the wrong impression on the importance of a correct head in a Pom, let me point out that, as will be seen later on, five more points are allotted to the eyes, five to the ears and five more to the nose. These features being component parts of the head total 20 points.Perhaps the part of the Standard coveringthe head is the most difficult to explain in words that will give the novice the exact picture of what a Poms head should be, and the fact that there is a tendency among fanciers to stretch the interpretation of the Standard to fit personal ideas adds to the confusion. Let us try, however, to look at the Standard in a rather impersonal way for, after all, our goal must be to visualize the perfect head of the perfect Pom in the hope that sometime we might see one.First of all let us not assume that the phrase "somewhat foxy in outline," means that the head of a Pom should look like the head of a fox, for one could never be mistaken for the other. The only thing in common is the wedge-shaped outline, nothing more. As a matter of fact those words are there just to emphasize the difference between a Poms head outline and that of the short-faced toy breeds like the Pekingese, not to encourage too-long a muzzle in proportion to the rest of the head, which does not really belong to a typical Pom.The skull should be somewhat flat and not round or dome-like, or what the fanciers call apple-headed. It should be rather large in proportion to the muzzle, which should be rather fine at the finish, thus giving the true wedge-shaped outline. The mouth should be well shaped, hence free from lippiness lips too thick are bound to spoil the line of the mouth. The same can be said about the teeth which should be sound and level.Note that while Standard stresses a serious fault the undershot teeth or jaw lower teeth or jaw protruding in respect to the upper ones that does not by any means imply that the overshot teeth of jaw upper teeth or jaw protruding over the lower can be considered correct, for this is also a fault and only slightly less serious. The ideal is and remains the level mouth and teeth.As to the heads profile, I note that the Standard says that it "may" exhibit a little stop. Far from me to become a critic of the Standard, but it seems to me that there was a slip there and the word "may" could well be changed to the word "should, for the word "may" implies the permission of "stop" is only a concession while as a matter of fact-unless we want to advocate Collie-headed Poms-said stop is a requirement without which we could not have a typical Pom head. By the way, this "stop" is evident in thenMulti BIS Specialty WinnerCh. Odysseys Shadow of Keno...Stepping in where Keno left off....lN STYLErCh.

Sage Creek CircleSpringville, UT 84663 801489-7943New Color List Being Adopted by AKC by Dolly TraunerFor those of you who have run into difficulties in getting your Pomeranians registered on the basis of color, Good NewsAbout three years ago, AKC updated some of its computer programs, one of them being the program listing coat colors of all the breeds then recognized by AKC. The list adopted for Poms at that time was fairly limited. It included several terms that had never appeared in the breed standard, such as "Silver." Some were simply synonyms for Orange, such as, "Golden," "Fawn," or "Blond." Theseextraneous terms crowded out some of the legitimate terms, such as Cream-Sable. Breeders who had formerly experienced no difficulty registering a Parti-color weresuddenly required to describe theirParti-colored Poms as "White with Black Patches."Individuals attempting on their own to get the problems resolved reported negative responses from AKC personnel. They were sometimes required to submit color photos of the dog for someone at AKC to make a determination as to the acceptability of the color designated on the blue slip by the breeder. One reported response from an AKC person was that all existing lists had been furnished by the respective parent clubs. This spurred me, as your new President, to contact AKCs Director of Registrations, to learn the facts and try for a solution. The Director, Pamela Mathews, is a charming lady-knowledgeable, understanding and fully cooperative. As of this date 60393, I have received her verbal approval of a revised color list, and her assurance that a formal written approval will be in the mail shortly.The blue slips will contain 14 choices, instead of the current 9. It includes the 13 colors most commonly seen in Poms, and the term, Parti-color. To register a black Parti-color, the breeder will check the color Black, and the Pattern Parti-color. Rarely seen colors, such as Wolf-sable or White, will not appear on the blue slip, but are available on an alternately acceptable list. Black Mask and white markings are considered patterns and will also be available on the alternate list. A Black Masked Orange Pom would have thecolor Orange circled on the blue slip, and th pattern Black Mask written in.Previously, when AKC has asked for a colo photo, the final determination was made b someone at AKC. Henceforth, when a colo designated by a breeder is questioned b AKC, and a color photo requested, the matte will be referred to the American Pomerania Club board for a ruling.The proposed list does not provide for Doberman-patterned Pom to be registered as Black Cream or a Black Silver. The breed standard asks that the tan be of a rid color, and that it appear in specific areas Neither the dilution of the tan to a much lighter shade, nor a failure of the tan to appea in all designated areas, changes the dogs basic genetic make-up from being anything other than Dobie-pattemed.The choices that will be appearing on the blue slips will be as followsCOLORSRedRed-sableOrangeOrange-sableCreamCream-sableBlackBlack and TanChocolateChocolate and TanSableBlueBlue and TanPATTERNSParti-ColorThe additional choices on the Alternate List will beCOLORSBeaverBrindleChocolate-sableWolf-sableWhitePATTERNSBlack Mask White MarkingsCH.

It has been the vettest spring in many years. All the parks, chool yards, and other grassy areas are too oggy to walk on. With the outdoor shows starting soon, Ive been desperate to start raining outside. Ive really gotten spoiled by laving two training buildings available at all imes. It is so nice not having to haul jumps rom place to place. No wonder my dogs lerform so poorly at the outdoor shows...I lardly ever train outside and never in poor weather. The dogs all think an outdoor ring is m invitation to run wild Pogo is the worst, tie is seldom serious about obedience on the jest of days. Outdoors he can go totally wild ind forget what he is doing in the middle of an exercise. The send aways are the worst-on Dccasion, he has kept on running for the sheer ioy of it, or he will not wait for my jump command before flying toward the jump of his choice. Anyway, with many shows just around the comer, I really need to get busyThe only shows I have attended in the last few months have been UKC. Pogo finished his CJ-CDX in March. I showed Panda twice in April for his first two Novice legs. He won Novice B both days and was High in Trial one day. Im glad to be able to get him in the ring again. With the competition match for our state Interstate team coming up in June and the Gaines Western Regional in July, we need as much ring experience as we can get. Fun matches seem to be few and far between in our area these days.Super good news from Patti Hecht in Georgia. She writes"We did it Pixie is now Glen Iris Star Diamond CDX The first time I showed her in Open was at the Savannah Kennel Club show on Tekyll Island, Georgia, in a drizzling rain uoors. What a heart She worked as if conditions were perfect in all exercises except the Drop on Recall. Perhaps she didnt see my hand signal because of the rain."The next show was February 20th in Pensacola, Florida, where she received her first leg with a score of 190. The next day shereceived her second leg with a 193 12, third place. We lost second place to a Sheltie in a run off. Her third leg and CDX took place in Clearwater, Florida, March 6, 1993 with a score of 187. She lost 10 points on the heel free.

Bonners Pendart Challenge and Ch. Bonners Modene News SpecialWhen my husband, Bob, retired from the military in 1967, I purchased a pair of toy poodles and bred a few litters. It was fun, and my little silver male was in great demand in our area. I even tried my hand at showing. It was at one of those shows that I first saw a show Pom as opposed to the spitzy type. I knew right there that the Pom would be my breed. I also zeroed in on a particular type. Dorothy has a magic eye when it comes to Poms. She saw her ideal many years ago and has worked consistently ever since to duplicate him. The BonnerAristic Poms stood out, even to me, a complete novice. Thats what I wanted. I met Dorothy Bonner shortly after.Over the years, we have become good friends. When Frank Bonner died in 1980, Bob and I moved to San Antonio to be closer and to care for the Poms while Dorothy was on a judging assignment. I feel very fortunate to have seen some of the Bonner Poms that are now way back in the pedigrees.She was bom and reared in Corpus Christi on the Texas Coast. Her father was mayor of Corpus at one time. Her mother was the epitome of the genteel southern lady and could never understand Dorothys involvement with the Poms. She thought sheshould do something more ladylike and useful like "growing roses."Dorothy said, "As a child, I felt an intense love for all little animals, especially dogs, as they loved me in return. We had a family dog, a small Fox Terrier, who was my pal and companion. The dog was never allowed in our lovely home as my mother was unsympathetic and my father was away most of the time. During my years at the University, a campus dog, a large collie, was my daytime companion and usually accompanied me from class to class. He returned to his home at night as I lived in a dormitory."Her love for and involvement with dogs continued through the years. Fox Terriers continued to be part of the family until the first time she saw a Pomeranian. Early in her marriage to Frank Bonner a wonderful and sweet man they were transferred to New York City. Frank was an Electrical Engineer for General Electric.A whole new world opened up for Dorothy in New York. She had taken extensive dance training in Texas and became a dancer in many, many stage shows on Broadway. She was offered the lead in what promised to be a very successful musical. Because it meant going out of town for an extended period, Dorothy turned it down. It was then offered to another young trooper, Imogene Coca. Imogene, of course, took it and we all know what happened there. Dorothy went in another direction, for which the Pom world will be forever grateful.AvDorothy and son Robert and her first Pom, Aristic Pitti SingtuIt was during her stay in New York that Dorothy saw her first Pomeranian. One of the other dancers, a tall, slim elegant lady had a beautiful little Pom that she carried around with her. Dorothy fell in love with the Pom and knew that she, too, would have one.Upon their return to Texas, they settled in San Antonio, and Dorothy opened a large dance studio. She not only taught children, but she also taught their teachers. She gathered students and their teachers from all over the city and organized a kiddie review. She was invited to put on these dance reviews during intermission at the very elite Majestic theater. They were a great success, and in appreciation, the Majestic theater gave Dorothy her very first Pom She was black and tan and out of one of the Aristic Kennels first litters. Her name was Aristic Pitti Sing, AKA "Baby." She immediately became a member of the family going everywhere they did. She attended dancing school, seminars, out to dinner, etc. She was trained to stay in her little basket until summoned. She could understand a large number of words and knew all of the dance instructors by name. It was not until after Babys death at age 14 that Dorothy decided to become a breeder. She went back to the Aristic Kennel for her foundation stock.Her early Poms were Aristic as well as some of the lines that were behind the Aristic Poms-Julo, Dixieland, and the famous Matta Poms. Dorothy has a keen eye for what she likes in a Pom and had a good deal of success from the start. When Ch. Aristic Wee Pepper Pod came upon the scene, Dorothy recognized a superior type and prepotency not experienced before. He was everything she wanted, with type, soundness, and a magnificent coat, plus the ability to pass these qualities to his get. He was also the ultimate show dog, having been show four times with 4 groups and 2 Best in Shows. She bred everything she had to Pepper Pod, and the daughters were bred back to him In a "hold your breath" move, the half brothers and sisters were bred to each other, further concentrating the gene pool. Champion after champion came out of these close breedings, and she quickly established her own type.When Stylepepper was bom, Dorothy again recognized the same qualities and potential that she admired in his famous sire. She was right. Ch. Bonners Stylepepper Preshus sired many champions and was also a Best in Show winner, taking his first Bestat his first show. Shown 14 times with 13 BOB, 11 group placings-5 of them firsts, and 4 BIS. He was also, thankfully, easier to breed. Pepper Pod preferred the ladies to be of his own kennel, and was reluctant to accommodate outsiders. Only Dorothys ingenuity carried her through some of the most successful breedings.Stylepepper was lost at a rather young age, but he left many get carrying his and his sires superior genes. As an example of the prepotency of this line, Stylepepper had a brother named Wee Pepper. Bonners Wee Pepper Preshus was never shown because of an unfortunate incident resulting in his death at about one year of age. He did live long enough to sire Ch. Corns Duke Dragonfly. There is hardly a kennel that doesnt have these great Poms behind them.Several wonderful Poms came along after Pepper Pod and Stylepepper, but the next one that stood out to Dorothy was Starmist, and she was right on the button. With his very first litter, his value as a stud was apparent. Ch. Bonners Kristin Starmist proved to be all that his breeding would indicate. He, too, produced over 20 champions, 21 or 22. I dont have an accurate count as some finished after his death and some were conceived while Starmist was with a handler. Starmist produced some of the most beautiful Poms I have ever seen. His sons have in turn, produced many, many champions.At one time Dorothy routinely kept three separate strains of her own line, and so had her own outcrosses. Stylepepper and Pepper Pod were behind all three strains. One wasrAristic Mighty Cutethe line Starmist came from, one was called the "Wag" line, and the third was the notable "Showstopper" line. After Franks death, Dorothy decreased her stock and bred the last of the Wag and Showstopper girls to Starmist. The results were more champions. Out of the WagStarmist cross came Ch. Bonners Lisastar Legacy, another producer of note.Legacy was loaned to Jackie Klein of Silver Meadows for a year and she finished several champions out of the litters that resulted from the visit.He was used sparingly at the Bonner Kennel at that time, as Starmist was still alive and producing. When Gayle and Tom Griffin made their first visit to the Bonner Kennel, Gale had a bitch in season, and at Dorothys suggestion, she was bred to Legacy. The litter produced Ch. Starlite Legacy Choco Bear, one of the nicest chocolate Poms to ever come along, also a champion producer. In looking at Legacys pedigree, there was no indication that he could produce chocolate. He had a chocolate and tan sister, however, so that although it was not likely to happen, it surely could. Were glad it did.Ch. Bonners Co-Starlyn Newsmaker was another very prepotent stud. He was the only get out of Ch. Bonners Starcrest Coquette, she being out of a litter of three identical females all of which finished their championships early on. Dorothy did not especially like their color, silver cream, and sold Minette and Trilette. She finished Coquette from the puppy class and later bred her to Starmist, producing Starco. Trilette went on to produce champions for Trill Duncan and later, Karen Holder. Minette is the dam of Dan Mercers most fabulous Ch. Mercers Touch ODuke. Ch. Bonners Starlyn Prissy Puff was the sire of the three sisters, as well as other champions. Dorothy has never bred especially for color, and any color that was not pleasing to her, was sold early on. Her preference is for bright reds and oranges. She never kept or bred to a black and tan but because of the tightness of her breedings, this as well as other exotic colors are still carried in the genetic makeup of her Poms. Starco produced a wolf sable son, and through his last son, Chesai News Flash, he is the grandsire of Ch. Mercers Exotica, a beautiful wolf sable bred by Dan Mercer. He also produced many black and tans as well as black and silver. Another Starco son, Ch. Cheelan Chesai Star Editor, regularly produced chocolates as well as black and tan.Because Starco was a cream, he was not used extensively for several years. He was mostly the "outside" stud because he was so easy to use, and refused no one. The outside stud was the one used on most visiting bitches unless someone had a preference. When Dorothy realized that he was seldom producing creams and when he did, the pigment was strong, with no fading, she started to use him more often. Like those before hem, he had the fantastic ability to produce a gorgeous puppy regardless of the mothers type or lack of type. I have always been thankful to have his last son, as well as Starmists last son.Dorothys latest champions are sired by Bonners Starlyn Modart. Dorothy sold Modart to Karen Holder now LaBonte at 3 months. Karen rarely shows her Poms but has sold many that have finished their championships. She has bred to the Bonner line for over 20 years. Karen sold Modart to me at age seven. Dorothy and I bred Modart with good news and bad news. He was almost exclusively a female producerhis daughters rarely got up to three pounds. Modart sat idle for awhile. Dorothy took the plunge again, hoping for a male with the type we knew he could produce. She bred "Penny" to him since Penny rarely produced a girl and Bingo, got Ch. Bonners Pendart Challenge from the first try and Ch. Bonners Pendart Champagne for the second. This was a Starmist son x a Starmist daughter breeding.Encouraged by Dorothys results, I tried again, this time with a 6 pound black andA.Ch. Bonners Stylepepper Preshustan bitch. Her first litter was five red sable females, all breedable size. My next try was another large bitch, a cream girl. This would be her last litter. As it turned out, Modart died six weeks before the birth of this litter. I expected an orange litter and was presented with 6 puppies-four white, 1 cream, and 1 cream sable-five of them were girls, all breedable size. We were truly thankful for this heritage.Lots of things happen with a concentrated breeding program such as Dorothys. She loves sweet, easy-going Poms, and as a by-product of selling off the problem kids, her Poms have the most delightful temperaments you can imagine. The other side of the coin, she hates climbers, but that climbing gene runs through generation after generation. In case you dont think thats inherited, all of Dorothys climbers trace back to one line, the "Gorgeous" line. Penny was a climber Bonners Starlyn Gorgus Penny as was her mother Gorgus and her grandmother, "Mischief." Mischief was bred to Aristic Pepper Pods Gorgeous, also a climber, which reinforced their remarkable athletic abilities. Although Challenge and Dart do not climb, their get do...and do...and do....The present location of the Bonner Kennels is straight north of San Antonio at the beginning of what is called Hill Country. It is on a rocky hill in a very heavily wooded area. There are ten acres of beautiful Live Oak trees that provide cool shade during the hot summers of South Texas. The house and kennel are attached in an "L" shape with the outside runs going off to the center of the "L", parallel to the house. Dorothys bedroom opens to the outside runs where she can see all of her Poms and the front entrance to the kennel office and trophy room. The Poms have ample space inside and out. The outside runs are 30 foot long and the Poms love them. They also get to see everyone thatomes to visit as the runs are on the front of me kennel building facing the circular drive. V'''ors always get rousing welcome much ei. yed by all.ne office is a tiny sunporch at the end of .ennel building. All transactions aremd out here. The Trophy room is between the office and the kennel itself and everyone meets the puppies here.Dorothy keeps a very large ledger in her office into which all events are meticulously recorded. Every visitor is recorded along with any information pertaining to the visit. Every puppy ever bom at the Bonner kennelis recorded in that ledger, including the birth order, name chosen, and critique. All sickness are chronicled with symptoms, medicines, etc., on a day to day basis, including success or failure. All show records as well as show critiques judges included and expenses are recorded. Dorothy has spent hours making entries into the ledger. I have spent many enjoyable hours reading it.There has always been a bedroom Pom, some by choice and some by demand. Occasionally the number of Poms allowed into the bedroom will grow to three or four, a real difficulty for Dorothy because of her asthma that has plagued her all of her life. The current bedroom Pom is Goldie. She is there by demand, a climber who comes and goes at will straight out of the Gorgeous line. The only way to control her would be to cage her and since Bonner Poms are not caged, Goldie has free run of the entire house and kennel.Back in the pedigrees you will see the name Pepper-K. This is a combination of Pepper Pod and a most prolific bitch, Aristic Mighty Cute, the foundation bitch for the future generations of the Pepper Pod line. She has continued to use a portion the sires and dams names in each of their get down through the generations and can recall pedigrees based on the name combinations, a very useful formula.Like all Pomeranian breeders, Dorothy has had some of the most exciting experiences tempered with some of the most crushing low points. One of the mostCh. Bonners Kristin Starmist-\iiiciluaii ruiiieiciMicui uiuu 4Sexciting times was taking Stylepepper to his first show. Dorothy took both winners dog and winners bitch and hoped the bitch would go best of winners for the major. Later, the judge told her he was unable to give the bitch BOW because there was not a Pom there who could beat her little male. He WAS unbeatable and went on to take Best in Show that day. Dorothy has bred many BIS Poms but that was the most exciting win of all.Along with good, many unpleasant experiences are also part of the Pom world. So many promising puppies are lost before they have a chance to make a mark. One sad incidence occurred with Stylepeppers brother, Wee Pepper. He was never shown because Stylepepper was out in the ring at that time. Olga Baker had sold a little bitch as a pet and when she was grown, the family wanted to breed her. Olga suggested they take her to the Bonner Kennel, which they did, and history was made on the spot. Dorothy always had a little male to prove so she selected Wee Pepper for the little bitch. A very fortunate choice that resulted in the birth of Ch. Corns Duke Dragonfly. Wee Pepper was lost to a heat stroke, caused from running up and down the fence line. When Dorothy returned from town one day, she found the little fellow "down" and he could not be revived.We all have stories that read like nightmares, but I have taken Dorothys advice. Though sometimes we must learn the hard way, we must never let the same thing happen twice, whenever Dorothy sees a broom standing on its bristles, she chastises me, remembering the promising puppy lost to a perforated intestine. I have learned to look over an area or situation very carefully, with regards to how a Pom could get hurt, escape, separated from their water, etc.Dorothys total involvement with her dogs led her to the next step. She is a licensed AKC judge, and has two groups-toy and nonsporting. Her judging assignments have carried her everywhere over the last 20 plus years. Her great sense of humor has carried her through some harrowing experiences as well as some of the most enjoyable trips. She loves finding an outstanding dog in any breed and will keep track of it throughout its show career, and being a true breeder, she watches carefully to see what it produces.The greatest thing I have learned from Dorothy is patience. She has a most unique perspective of time, having learned over along period, what is important and what is not. She is a very sympathetic listener and advises new comers with kindness and courtesy. She willingly shares her many, many experiences and expertise. She smiles a lot and goes about her business, which is growing Poms....not roses. - . . - Lr. . trs'-A^ -vCh.

Box 4688 302 368-2070Mexico City, Mexico 011 52 5 525-4850MEDIA ALERTAll dog enthusiasts must be aware that, on March 18th, the Humane Society of the United States HSUS announced a proposed breeding ban for all cats and dogs in America.The ban is voluntary for one year. If the voluntary ban does not work, HSUS will seek a mandatory moratorium on all breeding for two years. They have launched a media campaign to promote this ban. Their story appeared on the front page of the March 19th edition of USA Today and was the subject of the USA Today Editorial. Usa Today supports the ban. They are asking for people to call in to express their opinion. It is extremely important that everyone interested in the welfare of dogs and the right to own and enjoy dogs in America call the toll-free number at USA Today to oppose this unreasonable and unenforceable ban.CALL TODAY 1-800-828-0909 FAX 1-703-247-3134Talking points to consider for your phone call This is America-we stand squarely for theright to own and enjoy the companionship of our pets."Overpopulation as described by animal rights radicals is a fund raising myth. The real data from animal welfare groups, epidemiologists, and leading universities such as tufts, show a dramatic and constant reduction in the number of pets euthanized, a downward trend which has continued for over 20 years.Education, not legislation, and the efforts of responsible breeders in placing dogs with spayneuter contracts are the real reasons for the decline in euthanasia.The numbers of euthanasia that HSUS is reporting have no scientific basis-they are a fund raising ploy.Wouldnt it make more sense for HSUS to put their energy into requiring that all shelter animals are spayed or neutered before offered for adoptionThe shelter problem is largely a result of stray cats and irresponsible pet owners-neither are likely to comply with a breeding ban. The responsible breeder is the only target.Prohibition did not workRegional Club NewsNorthern California Pomeranian Clubby Janet Manuszak-LucidoThe NCPC held its fourteenth Specialty Show on Saturday, March 13, 1993. Our judges were the respected Mr. Everett W. Dean, Jr. of Richmond, Virginia, for the Regular and Non-regular classes and Mrs. Gail Alexander, a good friend of the club, for Sweepstakes.The weather was beautiful and cool for our coated friends. The Specialty was held inside a large, airy building. We shared our judge, the ring, and hospitality with the local Pekinese club, who showed in the ring following our judging. The pot-luck lunch and raffle were better than ever. The grand prize drawing was for a portable television set which was won by our ever faithful friend, Lucy Buttz. Unfortunately, Lucy was unable to attend our show due to illness. Our club wishes her a speedy recovery. Another member, Linda Florer, made an afghan to donate to the raffle. It was envied by everyone. Thank you, Linda. We also had an auction for a hand-painted bag, also made by Linda, and it fetched a good price as a club donation. .IBOB--Ch.

It was decided that the Baltimore area could better support a club. One in the DC area could come later. Thus, the Pom Club of Greater Baltimore was formed. PCGB is a vibrant organization that is known throughout Pom-dom.One year ago, on the Fourth of July, a club that would serve DC metropolitan area was formed. Early contact was made with AKC because of the closeness of Baltimore. NoVa Poms area is limited because of this closeness, but does cover the nearby suburban DC metro area with Prince William county as its southern most border.Within a few short months NoVa Pom Club gained 20 members has had two fun matches is producing "Fuzzies," a bi-monthly newsletter has assisted the Virginia Federation in fighting impending dog legislation has sincerely studied having a Pom rescue service and is responsible for many Pom fanciers across the nation wearing "Sparkling Sam" tee-shirts.Coming full circle, NoVa Pom supported the 100th Old Dominion Kennel Clubs show with trophies, another meeting and a fun-filled luncheon.More is in the plans, so stay tuned.The Bay Colony Pomeranian Clubby Claire FlesnerOur annual Specialty Show was held on Saturday, May 15th in conjunction with the Springfield MA Kennel Club in West Springfield, MA. The entry was one of our largest ver. This was our fourth year offering Puppy Sweepstakes and the entry grows each year.Club member Judy Manuel judged the Puppy Sweeps with an entry of 14. She picked Gale Sh^rlands Pinehavens Ropin the Wind for Best in Sweeps. Best of opposite went to L. -.reen Iveys Teakwoods Im a Wee Heart Too.The regular classes judge was highly respected Thomas W. Baldwin. He drew an entry of Iis choice for Best of Breed went to Diane Finchs BIS, BISS black Pom, Ch. Finchs- Walks On Water handled by Jackie Raynor. BOS was Barbara Krzewickis Ch. Pinehavens Minnie Pearl. WB and BOW was Trudy Adairs Riadas Little Anni Oakli who was capable handled by her exclusive handler James Terrell. WD was Tomho Indian Red of LEte owned by Howard Sklar.Trudy still hasnt come down from cloud nine-she is the breederowner of Riadas Little Anni Oakli. This was Oakis first major and now only needs 5 more points to finish her championship. Oaki is well known for always carrying her pink bunny everywhere she goes.She, along with Trudys other Foms, is a Therapy Dog and visits hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and hospices.Paula Payson provided simply beautiful trophies for all the winners. The Best of Breed trophy was a Prestige Soup Bowl Best of Opposite was a 40 ounce Pitcher and Best of winners was given a 10 x 12 picture frame. Winners Dog and Bitch were each presented with cheese and cracker sets, and Reserves each received candy jars. All first places in each class received a Bay Colony glass coffee mug. All the trophies had the Bay Colony Logo on them. Each entrant in all classes each received a Pom Placemat and a Goody bag with items donated by Bil-Jac.Immediately following the Pom judging, we had our annual buffet for all Pom exhibitors as well as Bay Colony members. Our President, Gladys Dykstra, as usual organized our sumptuous buffet. There was a plentiful and delicious supply of food for all. There is no way that anyone could have gone home hungryAfter the buffet, we tried to hold our annual meeting. In the past, weve always had a small comer room at this indoor show to ourselves. This year, the room was not available, so we set up in a comer of the show site. This was the only flaw in an otherwise perfect day, and it was a major one, specifically, no one could hear what was going on during the meeting due to the noise and the din of the crowd that goes along with a large indoor show. I counted 40 members or 34 of our membership at the meeting-this was the largest meeting weve ever had. It was spoiled by the overwhelming noise that couldnt be helped. We hope to find a solution to this problem before next year. Most of the major business was tabled until our Fall Match. Election of officers was completed and the Merit Awards were handed out. The new slate of officers is as follows President, Gladys Dykstra Vice President, Jessie Young Secretary, Bertha Cornwall Treasurer, Susan Cornwall Board of Directors Claire Flesner, Amy McKay, Garrett O'Dell, Paula Payson, Joan Rogenski, and Barbara Young.Garrett ODell and Trudy Adair had a special educational booth, promoting Poms along with the AKC educational program. Their bigger than life pictures of their Poms drew a big crowd and many compliments. Their Poms were also there in person to show offOur next event is our AKC sanctioned B-OB Match on September 18, 1993, at the McKays residence in Foxboro, MA. Donald Gill will be the Breed Judge, and Frank Farinacci will do obedience. Obedience judging will begin at 1130 a.m. and Breed will begin with Junior Showmanship at 1200 noon. We will also be offering the AKC Canine Good Citizenship Testing at our match that will be evaluated by Sue Cornwall.Many of our members are out on the summer show circuit, so I hope that I will be able to report several new Champions and Obedience Titlists in the next issue.HAVE YOU HUGGED YOUR POM TODAYThe Pomeranian Club of Greater Baltimore, Inc.by Diana M.

Compare the remaining dogs in the ring in the same manner, making a mental note of prospects for second, third, and fourth places.After the dogs have circled you two or three times, stop the exhibitors at the position in the ring where you wish them to be. The signal should be given to the handler who was first in line when you started them moving. This is courtesy. Dont forget you have an audience to play to. If possible, line the handlers up so the dogs are visible to the spectators at ringside.You must now walk down the line of dogs looking at each in turn. You may notice something you didnt notice before. On closer inspection you might notice an especially nice expression or a poor one, large or misplaced ears, a dog badly down on pasterns, one low in the shoulder and high in the rear, cowhocked or wide behind, feet which ar thin, splayed or flat and long rather than well-arched feet, round as cats, WELL up on toes. Make a mental note to check further when the dog is put on the table for examination.Make sure the table is secure. A table which wobbles never allows a dog to relax and be at his best. It should also have a surface on which the dog will not slip. I prefer a judge who allows only one dog at a time on the table for examination as usually both dog and handler have more advantage in one position at the table than they would at some other spot. When more than one exhibitor must use the table, the first handler to table always takes the choice position, the others must shift for themselves giving an advantage to the person in the choice location. If you feel you must compare two dogs together on the table in order to ascertain which has more merit, you may request the two exhibitors to place their dogs on the table together after you have examined all the others in turn.Starting with the dog first in line, instruct the handler to place his dog on the table. Since this person if first on the table, allow a few seconds for him to arrange coat and stack his dog. Those coming to the table after him will be able to groom quickly and stack while the first dog is being gaited, causing no delay.Approach the dog from the front, gently raise your hand to the dogs muzzle, speak to him if you wish, in a pleasant tone, "Hello, Boy", or some such comment. Look for head wedge, taper of muzzle, width ofmuzzle as compared to skull width, ear placement, size of ears, placement of eyes, size and shape of eyes and of eye rims, color of nose and lips, color of coat on muzzle, depth of stop. Feel skull shape and look for slightly flat skull required by the standard. Expression is important in the Pomeranian. You are going to have to invent a noise which will cause the dog to come to attention and bring his ears up into an alert position. One cannot determine true Pom expression when the ears are plastered back.Check front legs for straightness. Is the dog down in pastern, knuckled over Dont be fooled by leg coat. Heavy coat on a fine-boned dog can make a fine-boned dog look coarse, heavy muzzle coat can make a muzzle appear coarse, and untrimmed ears can make small ears look large. Check these points by feeling them to make certain each feature is in proportion for the build of the dog as a whole. Does the dog toe out or in or do the toes point straight ahead Is the elbow out from the body or does it hug the rib cage nicely If the chest is shallow, elbows may even be set in under the ribs causing the dog to have a "pinched" look in front. Look at the head from the side, now face to face again. Does the dog appear lippy Or does the upper lip fit nicely with the lower lip giving a clean appearanceYou may prefer asking the exhibitor to show you the dogs bite or you may wish to examine the mouth yourself. Are the teeth straight, even, and clean Are they all there-six between the canines in both upper and lower jaw. Many toy breeds have teeth missing in the lower jaw. This should not count too heavily against the dog unless two specimens of equal quality must be considered on the basis of fine points. The standard says, "One tooth missing or out of line does not constitute an undershot or overshot mouth." Correct bite is a scissors bite and an even bite is permissible. English dogs tend to be overshot while American dogs have problems with undershot jaws as a general rule. Do not confuse tooth alignment with jaw formation. There is a difference. Since you will be handling many animals, should you suspect you have handled a dog which is ill, excuse yourself and wash your hands thoroughly before you examine another. Saliva is the most expedient method of transferring disease from one dog to another. If you are concerned in the extreme, have the ring steward call for the show veterinarian.1993 STUD REGISTER for theAMERICAN POMERANIAN CLUBCh. Models Bit-O-Whiz Ch.
