I am sure it will be a grand affair.Each time I meet someone new in Pomeranians, I am always curious how they started in Poms. I dont like to admit when I did start. I received my first Pom in 1942 as a Christmas gift. I just have to say here, I was a teenager when I received my first Pom. To make a long story short, someone who knew purebred dogs much better than I, saw my dog, and told me my Pom was good enough to show in conformation. I asked them what conformation meant, and where I could attend a dog show. I didnt finish that particular dog, but I did put points on him, enough to set me on fire to buy, breed, beg, or borrow a Pom good enough to finish. Next I bought two females, and started my Kennel. I bred Poms several years before I bred my first Champion. I have had as many as fifty Poms at one time, but I only have a few now because of my work as a handler. Of course I was a breeder long before I became a Handler. Over the years we have had some very dear Poms, ones I will never forget. When we would have kennel visitors, and theywould say I dont see how you tell them apart, they all look just alike, but no two are alike, and this would amaze me. No two even act alike. They have their own individual personalities. I am sure all of you know what I am talking about. We had cuddley, lovie ones, the cool, independent ones, the loud-mouth ones, the quiet, shy ones, the foot-lickers, heel biters, jealous ones, who would walk between you and the other ones. Then there were the greedy ones, or the ones that gave in to the others, giving up their beds, food, etc. Some were real smart, others just plain dumb, but I loved them all, and sure didnt like someone saying they all were alike. No one except other Pom folks would believe the experiences we have had with our Poms over the years. I am positive I decided on the very best Breed, and I shall always have Pomeranians.Let me hear from you.ONE PICTURE IS WORTH . . .One picture is worth a thousand words. Well, maybe. The Review pictures are sent in by the contributors, and for the most part, add greatly to the general interest and attractiveness of this little publication. Occasionally, pictures are sent in that surely do not do justice to the Pom pictured, and these are not always snapshots taken by amateurs. Some show photographers are better than others, sometimes a beautiful dog just wouldnt pose correctly, sometimes the shot was made from an unfortunate angle, sometimes the dog blends right in with the color of the background and good reproduction is impossible. We feel it is better to send your ad without a picture, than with a bad picture. .It is very difficult to get good reproduction of a black Pom or of a color picture where the color tones are too much the same. Some color prints reproduce very well, but if it is at all possible to get a black and white print of the picture, it is better to do so.POMERANIAN REVIEW 3Pomeranian ReviewOF THEAmrrtran Pomeranian Club Jnr.President ..................................First Vice President ....

Goldpaz Colonel Midnight, more affectionately known to us as Littlejon is the 5th champion and last litter to be sired by his famous black daddy, Am. Can. Ch. Goldpaz Jonnie Midnight. How very fortunate we were in acquiring him as a tiny puppy from his breeder, Mrs. Vera Armstrong of Salem, Oregon.Littlejon definitely carries some of the outstanding qualities of his sirea real little showman with a proper textured coat, tiny ears, a small eye, standing high on his toes, with four beautiful sound moving legs under him to give him a true Pom gait.This little 3V2 pound black finished his title at a year of age with two 4-point majors including 1 Winners Dog, 11 Best of Winners and 3 Best of Breed wins. Many thanks go to professional handler Edna Swift Asp who did such an excellent job of presenting him at the shows._ He is now on his way with Edna toward his Canadian championship title.His sires bloodlines were entirely Bombardier-Moneybox, closely woven back and forth for many generations the dam going back to Ch. Lathams Wee Wonder, Ch. Lathams Gay Sahib, Ch. Julo Wee Wonder, and Ch. Moneybox Currency.The fact that he is a proven sire at a year of age gives us hope that Littlejon may be able to partially fill his daddys footsteps. Tragically, his sire died in his prime, but we cant help knowing we were on the right track with such champion offspring as Ch. May Morning Hokus Pokus, Ch. May Morning Bewitching Witch, Ch. Kavillas Flash of Ebony, Ch. Goldpaz Colonel Midnight all black, and a sable daughter Ch. Goldpaz Be Mischief Mine.Our success story would be incomplete without giving credit where credit is due, for without the knowledgeable guidance and friendship of Rita LaVerne ofLaRitas kennels, and use of her studs carrying outstanding bloodlines we would not be here today to tell our story of still another champion finishing his title.Looking back at the frustrating early years of breeding blacks, I cant help thinking how fortunate the breeders are today for they have a wide choice of blacks to use. That was not the case 15 years ago, nor were blacks looked upon with such favor, probably because most of them lacked quality. It is very rewarding to see the noticeable increase in the number of blacks being bred and shown today, and the outstanding quality of these Pomeranians. We feel privileged to have contributed in our small way to this advancement.I think one of my most rewarding moments in my many years of breeding blacks was, at the October 1972 Vancouver, Washington show, when a pair of our own Goldpaz yearling blacks, Goldpaz Colonel Midnight and Goldpaz Patti Midnight not littermates were both awarded four-point major wins WD BW and WB and BOS under judge Mrs. Victor Olmos-Ollivier.Goldpaz has never been a large kennel and very limited breeding has been conducted over the years. However, we feel very fortunate to have finished seven champions, five of them our own homebred kids.Littlejon, as his sire before him, is still Oregons only black Pomeranian champion. A proud honor for father and now for his son.ARTICLE CANCELLEDWe have cancelled or at least postponed the article by Dolly B. Trauner which was to have started in this issue, on the subject of forming a new specialty club. Since the AKC has announced that a booklet on this same subject will be available very soon, we felt that Mrs. Trauners article would be repetitious.POMERANIAN REVIEW 5CHAMPION CREIDERS TIMOTHY TIDBIT HASMOVED TO TEXASfSire Ch.

Ellis, Sec.The Fort Worth Pomeranian Club Specialty on March 23, 1973 was our most successful to date with an entry of 55 which included 11 specials. The trophy table was beautiful with many outstanding trophies. Friendliness and good fellowship was evident, and we enjoyed our many friends and fellow breeders very much. The dinner following the show was great fun and everyone enjoyed it.Our very capable judge, Mrs. James Edward Clark, gave Best of Breed to Ch. Holders Flaming Fanfare, owned by K. W. Mayes. Mayes who now manages the Aristic Kennel was especially proud of this win as the trophy which was presented to him was donated in the memory of Gladys Schoenberg and also because Fanfare is Aristic and Mayken breeding.- Ch.Holders Flaming Fanfare is shown going Best of Breed at the Fort Worth Pomeranian Club Specialty Show on March 23, 1973 under Mrs. James Edward Clark. Club President, Mr. G. B. McDonald presents the trophy.Best of Winners and Winners Dog went to Verna Hoods Robinhoods Replica Rerun, and Best of Opposite Sex and Winners Bitch went to Arabelle B. Hodges Wee Witch Hodges of Sun Dot handled by John Thyssen.

Cora Hales Bonners Lucky Elf of Caraway finished his championship in Oklahoma, and Cora Hales Dragonflys Little Princess needs only 2 points to finish. Mrs. W. L. Sealys Playboy of Golden Acres went WD and BW for 4 points at Faith City KC at Wichita Falls, Texas, and WD and BW for 3 points at Mid-Del KC at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma handled by Sandy Tremont.The FWPC had nominations of officers at its May meeting, and will have election of officers at its June meeting which will be held in conjunction with the clubs annual picnic. Present officers declined nominations as we felt it best to let others serve for awhile as it does a club good to have new people in office occasionally. We wish them every success and will stand by if we can help them in any way.ALLOW AT LEAST A WEEK IN THE MAIL MAIL ARTICLES AND ADS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLEPOMERANIAN REVIEW 7SUN-DOTS POMERANIANS Send Congratulations to . . .WEE WITCHThis little gal has been doing BIG things Shown going B.O.S. over specials to finish at the Port Worth Specialty under Mrs. James Edward Clark.

ETHEL UNWIN OFPOMWIN KENNELSThose of us who knew her and valued her friendship and advice were shocked to learn of her death some three weeks after it happened. Your Editor asked Bob Goodrich to supply some background information on the famous Pomwin Kennels of years past, and we are also indebted to him for the photograph included in this short article.Ethel Unwin was noted for her strain of Poms along two lines. One was a line of mostly red sables with baby faces originating in the Eastney line of Kitty Carlin in England. Mrs. Unwin imported Ch. Eastney Red Boy and several others from Mrs. Carlins kennel, and produced many Poms all of the same type and color from them. Among these dogs were Ch. Pomwin Sable Dandy, Ch. Pomwin Dandy Whiz, Ch. Pomwin Ambergold, Ch. Pomwin Little Oneder- ful Miss and numerous others.Using bitches from the above strain, Mrs. Unwin developed another line by breeding to Ch. Little Timstopper, Ch. Dixieland Shining Gold, Ch. Moneybox Currency and other leading males of that day.At one time, she also had some color- bred black Poms, and once said to your Editor, Im going to put you over my knee and spank you, if you dont stop breeding blacks to oranges In vain I spoke of the many recent black champions of outstanding type produced by breeding the better type of the orange and sable Pom to the poor quality blacksshe was never convinced that mixing colors was anything but heresy.Bob says that Ethel Unwin was a hard person to get to know, but a real friend when you knew her. I met her only about 10 years ago, when I moved back to Pennsylvania, and at that time purchased Pomwin Busybody, from one ofthe last litters she had still hale and well at more than 10. Rosie has given me many valued children and grandchildren, and although I cannot say that May Morning Kennels is founded on Pomwin stockas Bob can truly say of Model Kennelsthe red sable strain that has come down from her breeding is one of our greatest assets.miV.''4m K ftMrs. Ethel Unwin of Pomwin Kennels holding Ch.

SeekinsReprinted from the Jan., 1965 ReviewA black Pomeranian just doesnt get anywhere Those words uttered in despair may seem at first glance just silly or perhaps, even sour grapes. But, think with me a bit on this subject.Even though Poms are dearest to you I shall try to point out why I believe this to be true in many breeds where many colors are permitted.In your mind think about the ideal Pomeranian. First, visualize it in various shades of orange or sable, with soft coloring changes contrast of eye rims, points and eyes. See the lines of the dog as graced by the shades and colors. See each hair standing out vividly to your eye. Then take this same dog all in black. What do you see The outlines of the dog as to proportion will be easily defined but coat texture, ear set, eyes, all blend in, thus making it more difficult to easily evaluate this dog.Since my breed for years has been Samoyeds, which have the problem of being all white, I have thought about it. Yet, with an all white dog, contrast is evidenced by shadows indicating bone structure, facial expression and of course eyes and rims and lips. So, I feel it is really the all black dog that has the problem.I have felt this to be true for some time in regard to the denser coated dogs and then recently I had occasion to watch a judging of Labrador Retrievers about which I knew very little. However, as the judging progressed I found myself more easily evaluating and understanding the light colored Labs even muscular development was more evident but when the solid black dogs came along, I realized I would really have to know the breed thoroughly to evaluate them properly.I do feel this may be the reason that a black Pomeranian has to be really tops to get anywhere, and even thenmay be by-passed. There may be a psy- cological reason in some cases many people do have an unconscious preference for color or white over black but I think with a competent judge that it is more a matter of finding it more difficult to evaluate the black dog.BLACK IS BEAUTIFULWe call your attention to the very rare achievement of Ch.

MAYES215-793-1912 West Chester, Pa. 1938014 POMERANIAN REVIEWKENNEL VISITWITH REX AND BETTY BELL AT HERITAGE KENNELSby Jean WhitfordAs you travel up Interstate No. 89 through the Green Mountains of Vermont you are surprised as you turn off Exit No. 12 to find a mile up the road a small kennel, Heritage Kennel, set out in the country yet so close to one of Vermonts most busy cities, Burlington, Vermont.Set far back from the road and lending itself to the colonial scene, we find the home of Heritage Kennels.Rex and Betty Bell started out as so many potential breeders do, with the idea they would just have one litter of puppies. Betty had been given a male Pomeranian by her parents when she was 10 years old, as a companion. Sandy came from a kennel of long-standing in Springvale, Maine, Bonnitoi Kennels. At that time no thought of showing or breeding even entered the picture, Sandy was just loved and cared for by the whole family. Sandy had a terrific coat and was a great grandson of Sealand Money Box. Later when Betty married and she and Rex went to purchase their first female Pom, the thought that ifonly Sandy were a younger fellow how they would have loved to make use of his grand pedigree.Well that first litter of puppies was the start of a new Pomeranian breeder and potential kennel of 25 Pomeranians. The bitch was Winsomes Little Miss Ginger, originally from Ethel Turners breeding. She was taken to Fitchburg, Massachusetts and bred to Rambler Tiny Tim II and produced 4 lovely puppies. Ginger was one of those rare bitches all Pom breeders look for as she produced 4 puppies every time with little or no trouble. Ginger died last January at the ripe old age of 14.The desire to have the best Pomeranian puppies one could raise led to the writing of many letters, numerous telephone conversations and going to shows to see the Pomeranians that were being shown. Trying to visit breeders and learn the ropes became a pleasurable but tedious pastime.Living in the Northeast comer of the United States has its drawbacks, for at that time there were very few established Pomeranian breeders. With the generous help of Edna Girardot they purchased Champion Scotia Cavs Gay Cavalier, a son of Champion Sungolds Gay Cavalier and Champion Scotia Starlight Penny Anti.Shortly after this, Betty joined the American Pomeranian Club and through' the Pomeranian Review learned about all of the showing being done in the Texas area and the famous Champion Aristic Wee Pepper Pod and Champion Bonners Stylepepper Preshus. After correspondence with Dorothy Bonner they added to their growing kennel a son of Champion Stylepepper Preshus Bonners Stylekay Treasurer and also acquired an Aristic bitch, Aristic Sunmink, Minka, as shePOMERANIAN REVIEW 15is called just gave them a lovely bitch puppy which they plan to have at the shows this spring.wIIThis is the addition Betty and Rex added two years ago.

Scottia Sable Bug1 Grand Finale and Bonners Stylekay Treasure.Rex and Betty are just entering the show aspect of Pomeranian breeding. Last fall they went to Montreal and were pleased to come home with the first two Canadian points on Randys Stylesong Pepper Up, a lovely male from Mrs.Randell Freeh. Last spring they got another point for Phils Frilly Bluesette, Com Dukes daughter purchased from Olga Barker. An extreme interest in the Champion Corn Duke Dragonfly line has brought to their kennel a total of 3 Duke daughters and several Duke granddaughters, 2 are daughters of Champion Scampering Scotter, 1 a daughter of Champion Dukes Lil Red Baron of OKala, also a daughter of Champion Jeribeths Darlin Doodle-Bug.Also added to their kennel have been 2 bitches from Edna Girardot, a daughter of Champion Scotia Cavs Spectacular and a daughter of Champion Scotia Cash On Hand and Champion Scotia Cavs Lay-A-Way Brochure. These were primarily purchased to line breed with their Champion Scotia Cavs Gay Cavalier acquired at an earlier time.A great spark to their interest in showing occurred in February of 1971. Betty had the chance to go to Westminster and rejoice as all the Pomeranians enthusiasts did to see Champion Dukes Lil Red Bam of OKala go best in the Toy Group and the pleasure of meeting so many friendly, sincere Pom breeders. This all lent itself to a renewed dedication to breed the best Pomeranians possible The Bells have 2 children who share their interest in dogs. They help with the care of the Pom puppies and have the pleasure of playing with them to help with the social adjustment of the puppies at an early age, which Rex and Betty feel is so important whether the puppies are destined for the show-ring or a loving home. The childrens first love though is their West Highland White Terriers of which they each have 2. They have the complete charge of these, their feeding and grooming, and enjoy showing them in junior handling classes. With a growing kennel and more than one litter of puppies due at about the same time, something had to be done about room. An addition was built two years ago and now off the master bed16 POMERANIAN REVIEWroom we find a large nursery where the young puppies enjoy large pens and expectant mothers await their litters. Of course the bedroom is still the place where all whelping activities take place. Here all puppies are born right next to the bed where Betty can hear every move made by mother and puppies alike until the puppies are four or five weeks old and then into the nursery. Constant supervision is the key to life and happy puppies, and quick action with tubefeeding equipment, and a hand made incubator with glass front and heater have saved many a fading puppy that might have been lost.Another room was added and is being finished off as a show room where prospective customers can visit and look at puppies in pleasant surroundings. Rex, being an Industrial Arts Teacher has been a handy asset in the completion of the nursery and the constant building and renovations of the main kennel. The main kennel houses about 25 poms, give or take the few adults in the nursery. The pens are 2 feet high and 2 feet by 4 feet. A large cement run gives them plenty of room for exercise and can be cleaned and disinfected easily.1This is a view of one aisle of pens in the main kennel, as the kennel girl works.Because both Betty and Rex have fulltime jobs as school teachers they have a kennel girl who comes in weekdays to help with the cleaning and care of the Poms. lApromising yonng puppyBells Butterscotch Taffy, granddaughter of Ch. Bettys Sir Ray.They plan to go to as many dog shows as possible this year as it will be the first summer both of them have not either attended summer school or worked. They are in the process of obtaining a van to take to the shows and on their trips this summer. Last summer Betty and Rex and the children made a quick trip to Pennsylvania. This was their first real dog trip and they saw Patsy Kriess, from whom they were very fortunate to get 2 lovely bitches, one a Duke daughter and the other a daughter of Champion Bonners Darlastyle Xmas Toy. Later on they got Champion Scotia Sable Bug Grand Finale and a Duke grandson from Patsy. On the way home from Patsys they made four more stops with Pomeranian breeders, one of them being at Millamor Kennels where the Millers showed them their lovely studs and were most helpful to them.

You can het that Rex and Betty plan to visit as many Pomeranian kennels as they can during their stay and hope to have the opportunity of meeting some of the kind people who have been so willing to share their valuable experience. As most Pomeranian breeders know this is not the easiest of breeds to attempt to raise and the encouragement from other dedicated breeders certainly helped...

Y. 1455022 POMERANIAN REVIEWCOMMENTS CONCERNING THE STANDARDRUTH BEAM PINEVILLE, N. C.I cannot understand why new breeders or new judges should find our standard lacking due to the fact that we do not list faults. Im a dense person, but it is common sense to assume that legs that are not straight, would be considered a fault.It is also common sense to assume that flat coat, broad muzzle, muzzle to short or too long, short legs, long legs, down in pasterns, cow hocked, legs too wide apart or too close together, long in body, apple head, over size eyes and ears, low set ears, undershot, overshot, out at shoulders, low set tail, gay tail, a non-fox-like head, long neck, over 7 lb., under 3 lb., off colored nose and eye rims, etc. would be considered faults as they do not conform to the wording of the standard. Why should this be hard to understand What is the point in having a lot of words when fewer words should be sufficientMARY F. CASEY RAYNHAM, MASS.I would like to see Major Faults listed in Our present Standard. I have always felt that this was a necessity. For the breeders of today, it is alright not having faults listed, we have been breeding for a few years and the faults that were listed under our old Standard are still implanted in our minds, but what about the future generation of breeders and the future generation of judgeshow are they to know what is considered as a serious fault Even today many breeders have misinterpreted the new standard and they know better. Where in the present standard does it say that a black mask is permissible Yet you know and I know that Poms are being shown and winning with black masks. Our present Standard says that a Poms bite shouldbe a scissors bite, yet we know of Poms with undershot mouths that have gone through to their title and also placed first in the group. Yet this is a fault that is one of the hardest to breed out. I know, it happened to me. I finally got rid of it, because I no longer bred that line, but I had to learn by trial and error. I do not feel that an overshot mouth is as serious, just from my own experience with this problem. I had one bitch that had this type bite, she never threw it and it never recurred in her offspring or in any future generation and I had five generations of breeding from this bitch.I also feel that there should be a clause in the standard stating that overtrimming should be heavily penalized. Our present Standard and to the best of my knowledge every Pom Standard that I have read has stated trimming for neatness. Many articles have been written in regards to over-trimming, but nothing seems to phase some of the exhibitorsIf this cannot be put across by telling people, then lets penalize them for doing it, maybe then it will be stopped. I see nothing wrong with trimming off unruly hairs that just jut out every where, but recently I saw a beautiful little Pom that was scissored in the rear like a poodle is scissored and this is wrong. A Pom should have long skirts, not scissored pantaloons. In my opinion this is altering the appearance of the dog and detracts from the overall picture of beauty. Ill be interested in hearing how others feel on this matter.FROM A. BREEDER NAME WITHHELDI strongly agree with the editorial in the April issue of the Pomeranian Review. I feel that it also goes hand in hand with the code of ethics.We will be doing our breed a favor if All would strive to breed what the standard says we are supposed to be breeding and back it up with a good ,strong codePOMERANIAN REVIEW 2The Review Staff joins the Entire Membership in sending deepest sympathy to our Corresponding Secretary Miss Mary G. Passariello for the sudden and unexpected death of her fiance William J. Chadwick on May 11, 1973of ethics, rather than concentrating entirely on good coat and individual taste in head type and seeing how many champions one can produce a year regardless of what it takes to do it.Is it surprising that so many champions of record have the lack of sound leg structure, poor movement and exaggerated baby faces or that spectators compliment you on your pretty Pekingese I believe that a good many breeders have lost sight of the very basic fundamental reason for breeding dogs.We need breeders who are willing to stay home and Breed for Betterment even if it means having nothing to show for a year or two. We need to see the majority of Pomeranians exhibited to come very close to the standard when viewing the entire dog.If the majority of breeders are not willing to make the needed efforts to correct the serious problems, the natural result will be even a looser standardthat we now have to which the mention of ethics will certainly be a joke.I would like to see the major, minor and objectionable faults and disqualifications back in the standard together with proper color defined even though all colors are acceptable. I would also like that word CHAMPION to carry some weight ... it is taken far too lightly today.Our personal picture of the Pomeranian is meaningless . . . After all no standard ... no Pom. Let us all breed for the standard. The future of the Pomeranian depends upon each and every one of us.ANNIVERSARYThe First Issue of Pomeranian Review was published in June of 1958.

Marie Hines has of necessity and regretably given up her position as Secretary for the Club that she has operated so efficiently. We will all miss Maries service and her delightful columns in the Review. Effective next issue our new Corresponding Secretary, Sherry McNemey, will be assuming the duties as columnist and you will be hearing from her in issues to come. Sherry is one of our newer members, but has some experience in working with clubs in other areas, so I for one am pleased to have her as our new Corresponding Secretary.Duties of Recording Secretary will be assumed by our very capable little Linda Miller, who has offered to do just everything toward good record-keeping and maintenance for the Club.Both Sherry and Linda have volunteered all the service anyone could ask for and we can use itWe have received word that Mr. John Metz has been recently elected President of the Ft. Worth Pom Club, our favorite neighbor specialty club. Our congratulations to John ... a good friend and a capable and dedicated Club President Im sure.Merle and T. D. Daniels are accumulating an enviable record on their lovely Champion Daniels Scampering Scooter ... 28 Bests of Breed and 17 Group placements, to date. Congratulations.Our most important action item for right now . . . the big National Specialty we will be hosting for the A.P.C. this October October 13. Probably by now most of you have received your little Piggy-banks, along with a flyer telling you a little about our plans. If you did not receive one, please forgive us. We used names from the APC membership list primarily, plus a few we added whowere not members, but were active exhibitors and who would be interested.One of our members, Norma ORourke, has made the most exquisite green velvet trophy table cover, with Club name in gold, and the most beautiful hand- painted pom on the front. Such a beautiful thing . . . our little talented Norma ALWAYS comes through for us.Show Chairman is Darrell Baker Editors Note This selection may have been one of my BIG mistakes ... I find that I am his private secretary in all this and seem to be doing all the hard work. . . but we all know Darrell is dog show knowledgeable and will do a good job as Show Chairman. He is the brains for all of it Im the brawn.Our Trophy Chairmen are Molly and Linda Miller, and theyre well underway. Merle Daniels will be in charge of Advertising.The show will be held at the Albert Thomas Convention Center in Houston ... a lovely spot for a dog show. It will be in conjunction with the Combined Specialty Assn, in Houston, but will still be a completely independent specialty with our own ring, judge, etc. There will be two shows in two days . . . the day after our show will be the big Houston Kennel Club Show. All Breed.Mr. Ken Miller of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, will be the Judge for the Specialty, we all know Ken of the Ken-Eleanor team. Then Mr. Edd Bivin has been assigned to judge poms at the all-breed show the next day. What a great combination for pom people We are planning to have surprise gifts for everyone and we are busily putting these all together. Linda Boles, one of our members, is working hard on this.

We are hoping to have a record entry and a weekend packed with fun and lots of Pom talk. Well let you know the results in the next issue of P.R. Another topic of conversation is the A.P.C. Houston Specialty Show. For those of you who live anywhere close to the New York Airports, we at Bay Colony are arranging for excursion rates to Houston leaving from New York on Friday, October 12th and returning on Monday, October 15th. We plan on sending out letters with full particulars to all those who may be interested. If you are one of those people, please contact me as soon as possible. Having been to Houston and met the members of the Greater Houston Pom Club, I can assure you that it will be a weekend packed with truly GREAT FORM. The Greater Houston Pom Club SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY IN TEXAS will send you home saying. Those Houston Folks are the HOSTERS WITH THE MOSTEST. Lets all try to support their efforts.Shows in this area are starting up now and we have some new exhibitors who will be starting out this year. Let us not forget that not too long ago, we too were noviceswelcome these new people and give them a helping hand. South Shore K. C. was the first show for over a month and a half, with Rhode Island K. C. the following day. Our Poms had a good start for the new season with Lady Conyers Ch. MI-LO Mischief Gold Pat taking the Breed and Group 1 on both days. Bay Colony also congratulates the first Champion for 1973 owned by a member-CH. JABILS DANDY LION- finished at Rhode Island, bred, ownedand handled by Jessie Young. Dandy is not only Jessies first Champion, but her first home bred Pom. Jessie will soon be showing her second home bred, a half brother to Dandy'his name is Chester P. Honeyhugger, how is that for a cute name. Good luck Jessie and may all your future litters do as well as your first one did.Rhode Island K. C. found Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Sheehan exhibiting for the first time at an Obedience Trial and they proudly went home with their boys first leg toward his CD. Hs name, Schonheit Knabe, better known to us as Beauty. He earned a score of 19114 in Novice A Class and I went over to watch him perform, he was surrounded by German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. I was amazedthose big dogs scare me and Im bigger than they arebut they didnt seem to phase Beauty. Congratulations to the Sheehans and continued success with Beauty.Springfield was the next show that I attended and we happily picked up a three point major on our male, TOPAZE SIR BLITZEN under Mrs. Suzanne Rowe, and another on our bitch BODAS GINGER ROBIN OF TOPAZE, when she went over the male to Best of Winners. CH. GOLD PAT was Best of Breed and went on to Gr. 1. I did not go to Windham County the following day, but heard that CH. GOLD PAT repeated his performance of the day before by going BB and Gr. 1 again.In closing this column this month, I would like to thank our Editor for answering Virginia Niehouses question in the last issue of P. R. The one pertaining to why the Bay Colony Pom Club voiced their opinion on the proposed Code of Ethics. I feel that every piece of information that is sent out to the members of the Parent Club should be discussed at the local level.

In granting permission for our match the American Kennel Club advised us to use the above name as it didnt encompass quite so much territoryMr. Harvey Berman did an excellent job of judging and drew 36 entries. The trophy table was beautiful as usual, thanks to the outstanding job our trophy chairman always does. She is Mrs. Kathryn Schmidt of Somers, Wis. Match chairman was Betty Vamey.Best Adult as well as Best Bitch was Scotia Dazzlin Dee of D-Nee owned by Nadine Hersil. Best Dog was Beverly and Cornells Vander Zeydens Dreamers Shadow. A special class for pointed dogs was won by Betty Varneys little bitch, Cavys Sensational Conquest. Best Puppy in Match was Sally Baugniets 6 to 9 month puppy dogShamrocks Pomirish Gem Smoky. 3 to 6 month puppy dog winner was Nolans Cardinal Dragonfly owned by Chris and Odette Nolan. Vander Zeydens little Cardinal Tiny Tune took the win for 3 to 6 month puppy bitch. 6 to 9 month puppy bitch winner was Varneys Cavalier Twinkle owned by Betty Vamey.We had six champions participating in a Parade of Champions and each received a beautiful ribbon rosette.After the judging was finished we all adjourned to the home of our President and Recording SecretaryElinor and Lucius Luccas for a delicious potluck dinner and lots of doggy talk far into the night.We wish to congratulate fellow member Beulah Hochstedler on finishing her Handsome Hank of Far-Side, then going on to win Best of Breed at Hutchinson, Kansas and at Scott County K. C. at Blue Grass, Iowa May 12. Another member, Mrs. Norris McKamey won Reserve Winners Dog with her McKameys Ideal Perfection as well as Winners Bitch and BOS with McKameys Gold Countess who finished at Blue Grass. Reserve Winners Bitch went to Betty Varneys Cavys Sensational Conquest.Next day at Tri-City K.C. at Davenport, Iowa K.C.P.C. member Cheryl Blackorby took Winners Dog and Best of Winners for a 4 point major with her Sonny Bun. Another member, Betty Short went BOS and Winners Bitch with her Southlands Dixie Queen. Its really gratifying to see so many of our members winning against competition that is becoming very keen in the midwest area.Our hearts go out to two members who lost beautiful poms in the last few weeks. Betty and Dick Vamey lost a four month old promising male puppy and Bev and Corrie Vander Zeyden their gorgeous C h. Zeydens Cardinal Prettytune who wasnt quite two years old. Both were accidenal poisonings and I dont have the details, but understand Vander Zeydens had some bad kibble. No other pom can replace them, but we hope that finishing the half sisters and brothers can help to heal the heartbreak. That plus time.

Even though it rained all during the showing and judging, there were 28 exhibitors in competition plus 7 entries in Junior Showmanship and 4 in the Parade of Merit.Canopies were set up for the comfort of those at ringside. We were fortunate to have dryers from Valmar Kennels to dry outer coats of our frisky little dogs and proud of their deep fur that didnt allow rain to drench them to the skin.BEST PUPPY, BEST ADULT and the JUNIOR SHOWMANSHIP winner were each presented a trophy and a rosette. The trophies were donated by friends of the Club. Each child in Junior Showmanship received a Sampler Valentine Candy, in addition to the participation ribbon.We had one unfortunate incident ... a puppy bitch, entered in the 2-4 month class was dropped or it jumped from the arms of a child holding it and broke a front leg. It was his own puppy. Exhibitor and owner of the puppy took it to the Vet., had the leg set and returned to finish the day with us.After the show the rain stopped, the sun came out and we were honored to have Judge Wollam and family with us for a very nice POT LUCK supper, where we presented him with a gift from the Club.There was plenty of delicious food and everyone seemed to enjoy the day in spite of the weather.OHIO POMERANIAN CLUBMary Straslicka, Secretary4109 Grafton Road Brunswick, Ohio 44212The Ohio Pomeranian Club Officers for 1973 are Jean Morgan, Pres., Sue Hollingsworth, V.

With 11 shows in our area, between Feb. 24 and May 5th, I can only touch on the better of our wins. The Seattle Show had 3 members -winning points with Diana McKeevers Ch. Sungold Rebels Rowdy Command taking the BOB, and Jr. member Bobby Higbee earning that first point with his Jambo Rin-Go Kid of Andrews taking the WD. Other shows saw Donna Harris newest entry, Lil Red Hot Pants of OKala taking points at the Palouse Hills Dog Fanciers and the Yakima Valley KC Shows. Phyllis Andrews little female, Andrews Exquisite Debutante has been going great guns and has finished her Championship in Canada and is well-launched on her American career with points picked up in 3 shows and her first major under her belt, won at the Mar. 25th Show in Bremerton, WA sponsored by the Peninsula Dog Fanciers. Its a joy to see the nice dogs coming from this area to make their mark on the breed.Our Club thinks that there is a real need for a Code of Ethics, because it clearly states the goal we are all aiming for and gives us the best guidelines for running an honest and honorable endeavor. We sent our ideas to Dolly Trauner in a letter last year when the idea of writing up a Code was approached. We feel the only change needed is a simple clarification of selling in litterlots. Clearer language or better punctuation may be all of the changes needed.Our Club has many items for Sale now.

In July, our regular meeting will be open to all Pom breeders and Fanciers, who are invited to join us for a Potluck and All-Pom Fun Match at the lovely Kent Valley home of the V. Childrens. They have offered us the use of the beautiful grounds of their ranch, and it should be fun.

She has left the show career of her Lil Red Hot Pants of OKala in the capable hands of handler Jean Schroll.Before closing I would once more like to refresh your memories on the importance of trimming toenails on your Poms, even the puppies. Recently, one of our members broods suffered a bad scratch on her eye, inflicted by one of her own pups. Fortunately, she recovered, but her eye had to be sewn shut for a week to avoid infection and to promote healing. You just cant be too careful.This is the time of the year people like to travel. If you should come to our part of the country let us hear from you and let us meet you. We all love our Poms and its great fun to visit and compare notes when visitors come.VALUE OF A CHAMPIONThe true value of a champion is in what he or she produces, not in the number of Group Placements or Best in Shows won.

BIRK1634 S.W. 9th Ave.Fort Lauderdale FLORIDA 33315Since my start in Poms some 18 yrs. ago, I have spent a major portion of my time persuing the printed world. If you happen to he an on looker, rather than an actual participant, you can often retain a little more objectivity than one who is in heavy competition.Im sure there are some who wish I had a kennel so large I would be kept busy feeding, cleaning, training and exhibiting. This would fill up my time and might also show me that some of the things I defend, plead for or speak in favor of, are not quite so easily done. Since it has never been possible for me to own, train or show a great many dogs, nor do I imagine it ever will be at this late date, I will quite probably continue to poke and pryexpress opinions, and suggest ways I think our Poms might be improved.While Ive never thought of myself as a crusader carrying a flaming torch, there is one crusade all of us can join. The printed word has no power unless it is read. Your dog publications, magazines and books, could he highly important but, unless you read and study, you can never improve or grow. An intelligent breeder is a respected breeder. Command the respect of all the fancy by reading, by study ... by really learning to be an intelligent breeder.There is always a need for understandable information. My latest find, a book titled DOGSTEPS, is written for the layman. It has clear and simple wording and has easy to understand drawings. By applying what is learned in the study of this material will give rewarding results for the concientiousdog breeder who is striving for better puppies.Rachel Page Elliott, the author of this book, was on the panel of speakers at the seminar I attended in Birmingham, Ala. last August. If you have the opportunity to hear this woman, and see the hour of movies she narrates, I urge you to do so. With the movies we were able to see, as she would stop the film, explain, then back it up and run it again ... we did really SEE the importance of angulation, the value of balance, how angulation affects muscle structure, why dogs pace.It is important for anybody to be able to recognize the virtues and failings in movement if they are going to have a working knowledge of dogs. If we can develop X-RAY eyes of what goes on from a study underneath the coats, we are going to find we are raising dogs of higher quality. Those findings will also enable us to evaluate dogs a great deal more easily and helpfully.Dogs must be judged according to the job they do, but regardless of this, there is a general principle which is common to all breeders . . . principle of movement. Mrs. Elliott explained it this way, they have got to exercise the greatest economy of motion according to the way they are built. Sound movement is as desirable a feature in a family pet as it is for dogs bred for hunting or police duty. It doesnt matter what the purpose, the shape or the size, a strong even gait is desirable in all breeds. Function influences form, thus all dogs do not gait alike. Thru the years man has indeed developed many different kinds of dogs to meet his needs and desired fancy. For example The dachshund with his elbows set above the line of the brisket, and his weight resting on his chest, frees his legs for digging. The need to ferret out farm pests from underground is filled by a dog with this structure. Compare the flashy step of a small terrier with an easy stride of the bloodhound or newfoundland.VPOMERANIAN REVIEW 45ENJAYS POMERANIANSPROUDLY PRESENTS THEIR FIRST HOMEBRED CHAMPION CH.

Pictures pedigree on Request . . .Norma Lloyd Jenkins 1449 Shelton Ave.1-804-855-0965 Norfolk, Va. 2350246 POMERANIAN REVIEWThe only job our toys have to do is, as one judge put it, If they are sound enough to jump up on a lap, I give it the win. Thats all they are good for. If that is all that is expected from our breed we cant hope to have very many that can surpass the hounds, terriers, sporting etc., in order to make it to BIS. Hats off to the ones that receive this HONOR. The breeder of this dog is an intelligent breeder . . . therefore respected.If, as Mrs. Elliott stated in her lecture, We are on the verge of a great wave of breeding mass mediocrity in our dogs today., think twice before you breed the female you bought for a pet. Think twice when a bitch comes in and you need the cash for a stud fee to pay the bills. Have the moral strength and the ethics to turn that dog down. If you are a new breeder and have a bitch you would like to breed, make sure that you realize what you are to breed to. Stay away from all undesirable qualities of a hereditary nature. Always breed UP . . . never down and if you are just making puppies . . . DONT.CASEY Continuedbut they are interested in the decisions that are made and eventually these people, if kept informed, may feel that they would like to become members of the Parent Organization. I also want Mrs. Niehouse to know that as Easterners we live only a half hour from the Atlantic Ocean what could be more east we do not consider people from her area as Hicks from the Sticks. I dont know who or what gave her that impression. I wish some day she would have the opportunity to visit us here in the Bay Colony, we are small town folks and could very well be considered as Hicks ourselves and we like it that way. My town has a population of about 2,000 people and many times, I wish we only had 200.MIDWEST REPORTBEVERLY C. BERMAN Rt. 1, Box 21OC Braeburn Rd. Barrington Hills Algonquin, III. 60102Our Editors comments on heads etc. in the last issue struck home with me as I have long been thinking that the short legged, large heads and dumpy bodies are the result of the dwarf gene rather than the midget gene which places all things in proportion. A more graphic example is to be seen in Poodles where the breeding of a toy stud to a miniature bitch has produced some of the awful looking dogs with stumpy legs, large coarse heads and bodies that just go on and on. I would like to comment that in addition to the round eye, I have lately seen a good many kinky coats. In the correct Pom coat, the guard hair must be straight and stand off. This coat does not need a ton of hair spray to be erect.Entries out here are still on the increase and majors, at least in bitches, are not hard to come by. In view of this, the entry at the combination of the Western Pom Specialty and International was disappointing. The June issue of the Gazette contains my report on these two shows. The following weekend at the Kenosha Cty. Pom Clubs B Match, judged by Mr. Berman, the entry was a whopping 36. This is the same club formerly known as the Wise. Pom Club but AKC insisted upon a change of name. Best in Match Puppy was Shamrocks Pomirish Gem Smoky owned by Sally Bauguniet. Best Adult was Scotia Dazzlin Dee of D-Nee owned by Nadine Hersil. Five Chs. paraded for the spectators viewing.On May 5th, we will be in Oklahoma where Mr. Berman is judging Mid-Del Tinker show and I hope I shall get to meet with some of our Western fanciers.POMERANIAN REVIEW 41NOLANS CARDINAL DRAGONFLYand his kennelmates say WELCOME to their new play girl NOLAN SERENADE OHOCHSTEDLER and thank Beulah Hochstedler and Serenades mommy daddy,CH.

In the midwest, we seem to prefer a somewhat larger dog than our counterparts in the south for example.Recently, I had a call from a novice with a first litter who despaired that her bitch refused to eat. I gave her my recipe for the formula that I use with newly whelped girls and with good results. This gruel consists of a cup of milk combined with a tbs. of light com syrup and the yolk of an egg heated till all is combined. Then add enough baby rice cereal to make a sloppy mixture. I add one, crushed to a powder, 5 grain calcium tablet and ,3cc ABDEC vitamins to the morning feeding of this mixture. It is important to remember that while nursing, the bitch does still need her calcium lest she may get eclampsia.13 POMERANIAN REVIEWI have had a Pap bitch that even this did not tempt and I used Mother Bermans sure fire remedy of boiled chicken and rice to get her appetite going. They say that chicken soup is just about good as anything to cure a cold. Since we medicate toy dogs with pediatric preparations, why not a dish of chicken soup to get those taste buds stimulatedI would be interested in finding out whether or not any other breeders have been experiencing a rash of breech births. I have had four in three litters all turned belly up making delivery very difficult. I lost one Pap puppy presented in this manner and one Pom. I was just not quick enough to get them turned and out. At the third whelping, with the vet standing by on the phone, he directed me to pull straight out till the tail emerged and then down in the usual way and I extracted the puppy still warm but not breathing. I worked on the poor limp thing and finally got it going and now at three weeks, it is doing fine. To those of you who know that I have not had a male Pom puppy bom here in three years, I finally got oneSpringtime and puppy time are synonymous and so here in the wilds of Barrington Hills I have a bumper crop, all bitches save the lone dog puppy. Now all I need is an extra set of hands to cope with the rearing Socializing puppies is so important and this is a most enjoyable time for both dog and human. Pups left to themselves and not handled sufficiently, mature with a less than desired personality. Then too, it is my opinion that pups left in a small pen or on slippery floors do not develop properly in the leg department. I have seen a pup with a set of good legs go sour and cow hocked from being too closely confined. Puppies must have room to romp on a non slippery surface.For this purpose, we use 9 x 12 washable rugs in the bedrooms that are used for puppy rearing. These can be washed in the large machines in a launderette. Iprefer the all cotton with the non skid backs but have not been able to find them lately. The synthetics are alright but I found that if a pup chews a cotton rug all comes out of the other end OK, whereas the synthetics do seem to irritate the bowels.I start weaning pups on the 14th day by letting them lick baby meat from my fingers. With all the scares accompanying the use of raw beef as of old, I rely on the baby meats. From there we progress to some of the dams formula that I mentioned before and on to cooked beef and rice. I have started a Pap litter as early as 9 days and by three weeks they had a full set of teeth and the dam ran for her life I do not believe in forced weaning and leave the dam with her pups till she has dried up naturally. I have several families of mother and daughter that have never been separated and such familial love expressed in dogs is hard to believe. No puppy leaves here till three months old when they can have a first permanent shot.It is disgusting to pick up the classified ads and see pups offered for sale as young as five or six weeks. You can not safely innoculate with permanent type serums under ten weeks without running the risk of blue eye among other things. I have recently discovered a woman to whom I had refused stud service on an undershot poorly pigmented bitch has had it bred and is selling the six week old puppies to Puppy Palace. How are we going to police the breed and expel such people from the club How do we shut off the supply of Poms from the dog farms in Missouri and Kansas One way is to put on expositions in local shopping centers to educate the public that they should buy pups from a breeder. A member of our Pap club recently put on such a successful exposition that I have asked her to write it up for our Pap newsletter. If it is not too lengthy, perhaps I can bring it to the next column in the Review.POMERANIAN REVIEW 49CELTAN POMERANIANSHuggy Bear completed her Championship on April 1, 1973 at Columbus, Ga. under Judge Heywood Hartley.

CELTAN DANCE OF DRAGON LADY50 POMERANIAN REVIEWALONGMYWAYBy MOLLY MILLER P. O. Box 717 League City, Texas 77573A flush of excitement hovers over the pom folks of the Tex.-La. area. It is not the wonderful shows just past with their huge and lovely pom entries that are causing this excitement, but rather the prospect of hosting the national pom speciality on Oct. 13. The members and supporters of the Pomeranian Club of Greater Houston would like to extend to all pom lovers a warm invitation to come and join us for days of fun. The speciality will be held the day before the huge Houston all-breed show so there should be large majors both days in both sexes. Even better than the prospect of majors is the prospect of meeting people who, prior to this time, have only been names and faces in the Review or the Gazette.In addition to the club activities, which will be many and varied, I would like to extend a personal invitation to come visit. I am certain that there will be some time for pom talk, and I am just a few minutes from Houston via the Gulf Freeway. I can already tell that the time will be all too short for I am thinking in terms of days and days. Say why dont you stay for several Do come and visit if you can and see all my pom kids not just the ones entered in the speciality.The pom entries in the recent Texas shows have been huge. All of the weekend shows had majors in both sexes and week-day shows usually did. Entries often ran into the forties and occasionally into the low fifties. These unusually large entries spilled over into neighboring Oklahoma and La. I will not try toreport on all the wins for I am certain that those will be reported in the secretarys column. However, I will say that the wins were passed around and, although several poms were finished, many recieved major wins and will probably finish in the spring.I have laughed before about showing the sex with the most entries. Of course I was showing bitches this spring. My girls were typical of what happened. My orange Celtan Mistletoe Magic Myway finished her championship however, two other girls, who were shown less, also came home with majors. Jo-May Jennifer Going Myway, a black, picked up a four point major in Lake Charles, and Myway Keli Kelae, a nine month old red, received a three point major in Austin. I believe Arabelle Hodges Wee Witch Hodges of Sun Dot also finished her championship on this circuit. Please pardon the sketchy reporting, but due to a litter arriving in the middle of the circuit, I attended only four shows. One thing I did notice was that in both Austin and San Antonio Mrs. Babb and Erma Randols black male. Babbs Humperdink was W.D. The wins were extremely noticable due to the fact he was the only black present.AKC normally does an amazing job of recording wins for millions of dogs however, errors can occur. I was recently shocked to receive a championship certificate on a bitch that had a total of thirteen points. It is not the sort of thing one wants to complain about, but the thought of claiming a championship that was not rightfully mine was incomprehensible, so I called AKC. If there were an error in my point counting, I, of course, wanted to welcome the championship and pull Missy from the remainder of the shows. If I were correct, I wanted her record corrected so her championship, which she was ready to complete, would be rightfully recorded. When talking to AKC personnel, I was first assured that she had sevenPOMERANIAN REVIEW 51MYWAY KENNELMyway proudly presents three girls who have won for us this spring.

She was credited with a win 4 pt. which was not hers. I asked that the marked catalogue for this win be checked. The error was found. The WB of that particular show had appeared just above Missy in the catalogue, and Missy had been credited with her win, Of course the error was corrected, and Missy, who was show ready, went on to properly finish her championship.Do check points carefully. I knew that I could not accept an incorrect championship for I take pride in them and a false one would make me sick. But suppose I had not known exactly what her point record was. There is of course the possibility that the error would have gone undetected, but if the bitch who made the win finished, and her championship did not arrive. Her owners would have rightfully demanded their points. Missy is due to be bred. Suppose when the error was corrected, she was nursing a litterSuppose any of a hundred possibilities.Moral Check your points very very carefully. I make it a practice to check the copy of the judges book available to exhibitors before I leave the show. This copy is a carbon of the official record received by AKC, and it should agree with what took place in the ring. Seldom will this record be in error, but, if it is, do mention the discrepancy to the judge or superintendent. The correction can be made and signed by the judge thus preventing future problems. Check carefully and avoid later complications.Good-bye for now. Keep all of those comments coming. I truly enjoy hearing from all of you. I hope to have the pleasure of visiting with many of you in Oct. Do make every effort to come and be with us for the fun.

Midst all this, it is something of a shock to realize by the time this reaches you summer will be half spent, and the newness of spring long gone. Still, Ill enjoy it today and send a warm wish that all of you have managed to find a moment to pause and enjoy the beauty of life.Our mailman has brought news from our readers on both sides of the border. One letter in particular dealt with a problem we all face at one time or another. This is the difficulty of choosing, describing and shipping a show quality puppy from one part of the nation to another.There are numerous interests to be safeguarded the reputation and financial involvement of the breeder, the financial interest and trust of the buyer, lastly, but most important, the welfare of the puppy. If we all liked exactly the same dogs there would be no dog shows as we know them. The varied interpretations of the standard are an important factor in the breeding of purebred dogs. Yet, this variance causes so many problems. Truly Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Perhaps shipping on approval is the answer. This also creates difficulties.Personally, if I trusted a person enough to sell them a puppy in the first place, Id trust them to care for that puppy whether they had it for a few days or years.Shipping has always been our greatest hazard. Judging from the newspapers I gather this difficulty is not ours alone. IPOMERANIAN REVIEW 53dread the thought of a young puppy leaving home, enduring a long journey, just to spend a few days in a new environment, before retracng his earlier trip. What safeguards do you take to protect your reputation, your customers and your puppies Perhaps, if we can get a bit of dialogue going on this, future buyers will be saved the expense, unhappiness and disillusion my correspondent experienced.One additional point to make cn shipping. Put more than one tag on the crate indicating a puppy is to be held at the airport for you. A few days ago we had a puppy arrive from British Columbia. All hold tags were missing, so the puppy spent a day touring the city in an express truck. The result is a darling happy puppy, who turns into a wee blob of terror at the sound of a motor, the slamming of a door, or an object being dropped. Yes, it shouldnt have happenedbut it didOur Canadian Kennel Club magazine Dogs In Canada had an interesting article which discussed the possibility of a link between malformation in puppies and vaccinations received by their dams during gestation. More recently cortisone treatments were also suspect. Another article entitled, Strained Liver Can be Life Giving Miracle Food caught my attention.This has long been a favorite treatment of mine. Weak puppies respond rapidly. Strain beef, pork, or chicken liver through a fine sieve, or use a blender to chop it to a liquid. Using a small coffee spoon, place a drop or two on the puppys tongue. Repeat twice daily, giving about half a small spoonful per feeding. Weve also used the blood from liver, introduced directly into the stomach by a tube.In the past few months weve started to receive the English magazine Dog World. A friend has a subscription to the other English weekly Dog News, so a trade takes place. These magazinesare loaded with ideas and information. Going back to my earlier thoughts on evaluating and describing puppies, one cannot fail to notice the variance in critiques written by the judges. Should anyone be interested, Ill supply further information on them.A recent issue showed our Queen, Elizabeth II being presented with a hefty leather bound volume containing all her Windsor and Sandringham registrations.We are planning a trip to Europe this summer and have been in touch with a number of English breeders. They expressed great interest in the Pom Review and requested I bring along some copies. They do not have a breed magazine that is vaguely like ours. Frankly, I am truly proud to be a member of the Pom Club of America.At school, my children were working out fire escape plans. One of them asked how Id save my dogs. We had never really given it much thought. Have youIt is so easy to assume that awful things like that only happen to other folks. If we pause for a moment we will realize that to everyone except ourselves, we are the other folks. Give it a bit of thought.Mrs. Dorothy K o b e r , Okodawn Pomeranians, warns us of the dangers of penioillin reaction. She lost a good bitch after it was administered. She advises us to be sure our vet has an antidote on hand before we allow them to give this drug. Thanks for the warning.Ill end this column with the show reports and a definition of happiness according to Anne, our kennel girlturned assistant handlerHappiness is training a kennel dog all by yourself, then winning the breed over a Special.Congratulations Anne . . . but did it have to be MY SPECIALContinued on page 5854 POMERANIAN REVIEWOBEDIENCERINGby EMMA HEYDE 170 Chicago Way San Francisco, Cal. 94112Congratulations to Loretta and Mar- rian Lazarra, whose Pomeranian CRYBABYS LITTLE ZUZIM RANDY, C.D. received the Dog World award in Novice.The award is given for dogs making three scores of 195 or over toward an obedience degree in 3 consecutive trials and this represents quite an accomplishment. The little Pom sired by Bermans Roi-L Cry Baby ex Gold Blackacre Lil Miss Honey was sixth high scoring dog in trial at Dunes Dog Training Club trial last year, and is now working on CDXshould do very well, too, as we are told these girls are doing wonders with their Poms, and that they also have another called CARMEL, which is a CD too.The following is inspired by an inquiry from Phyllis Andrews of Woodin- ville, Washington, who has observed Pomeranians in the obedience ring with heavy collars and leads which actually appear to weigh those tiny dogs down. Apparently some trainers believe that all dogs, regardless of size or breed, must have standard equipment of a heavy chain-choke collar and six-foot leather lead in order to be taught obedience work. In my opinion all equipment used for training must be carefully chosen to fit the size and type of a specific dog. An intelligent dog needs only to be shown what is wanted of him, followed by praise and love when he does right. Of course, the only way to show him how to heel and come is to have him wearing a collar and leadbut to have these ill- fitting only distracts from his work andmakes the dog unhappy, and an unhappy dog is not a good worker in fact, AKC rules definitely state that the happy working dog is to be put over the reluctant or unhappy one other things being equal. Further, to have a dog working in an obedience ring not looking his very best, happy and bright self, would certainly not be a credit to his breed. A Poms natural merry gait is beautiful and it should be preserved and encouraged at all times.Light weight nylon choke collars and fairly long nylon snap-on leads are usually available, and I believe they make excellent obedience training equipment for Poms.The choke collars slip and release very well, and are workable if well- fitted to the dog. The rings on the collar and the snap on the lead should be as small and light as possible. This might all take a little hunting, but such things are available, and the obedience trainer of a tiny dog should not compromise at this pointthe time and trouble would be well spent. There are some very lightweight chain collars available if preferred, but they are difficult to find and I understand some of them are quite expensive. If a chain collar is used, special attention should be given that it is not too heavy and that the rings are small, also that the chain is not of the type that will catch and pull or rub off hair on the neck.Likewise I feel that very careful attention should be given to the selection of a dumbbell for a Pom in the retrieving exercises. The ends of the dumbbell should be large so that the mouthpiece is far enough off the ground for that little pointed muzzle to get around it easily to pick it up. However, it is also very important that the ends are not too large so as to obstruct the dogs vision when carrying the dumbbell like blinkers. The length of the mouthpiece should not be too greatjust a comfortable size so he can carry it well balanced in the middle.POMERANIAN REVIEW 55Ch.

Seminole, Florida 33542 Ph. 813-392-094756 POMERANIAN REVIEWPACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS VIEWSby Margaret Klingboil4815 Monroe Ave.. N.2. Salem, Oregon 97201The show season is in full swing here in the Pacific Northwest with many lovely Poms being shown. Many of the shows are old hat now, but I will mention the Best of Breed win going to Ch. Sungold Rebels Rowdy Command, owned by Diana McKeever and Linda Boyd of Kent, Wn. at the benched Seattle show in Feb. Next, at Bremerton, Wn. a stylish little black male owned by Joy LeCompte of Salem, Oregon took Best of Winners for the 4 point major which gave him the title. Goldpaz Colonel Midnight, better known as Littlejon, was also Best of Breed, a fitting finish for the last champion offspring of his late sire, Am. Can. Ch. Goldpaz Jonnie Midnight. Winners Bitch for the same 4 points and Best Opposite was Andrews Exquisite Debutante who is coming right along with her acquisition of points. Owned by Clyde and Phyllis Andrews of Woodinville, Wn., this little gal will probably have her title in the very near future.Diana McKeever with Ch. Sungold Rebels Rowdy Command, and Donna Harris with a little red daughter of Ch. Dukes Little Red Baron of OKala missed the boat, literally, and got to Bremerton just after the Poms left the ring. The ferry they took from Seattle was just late enough to keep them from competing.Andrews Exquisite Debutante finished her Canadian championship at one day past one year of age at the Shoreline show in Victoria, B.C. by taking the Breed the first two days, and BOS the last day. Male points at the show went to Beverely Moores Bevans Butterscotch Bounce, and these points gave him his Canadian title, all of this at under one year of age. This makes two Canadian and one U.S. champion for our area since the last report, with two new stars on the way at more recent shows.Best of Breed at the Palouse Hills show in Colfax, Wn. was a lovely young sable champion,' Starlites Rigal Miss Magic, owned by Gayle Griffin of Monmouth, Oregon. Magic also took the Breed the next day at the Inland Empire show in Spokane, Wn.On the Walla Walla, Richland and Yakima circuit in S.E. Washington Best of Breed for the three days went to Ch. Blossom View Hi Style Hilo Boy owned by Rose Lee Loy of California. At Walla Walla, Riggins Stylish Pepper of La Moda, owned by Dolores Riggin of Tigard, Or. was Winners Dog, with Best of Winners going to La Ritas Troubles of Sungold, owned by Rita LaVeme and Anna LaFortune. Richland, the next day gave Barts Mr. Mighty Mite Winners Dog and Best of Winners. I believe this was a major for this lovely little dog owned by Marianne Melville of Vancouver, Wn. LaRitas Trouble of Sungold was Winners Bitch, also for a major, I believe. The last days show at Yakima gave the title to a typey little true black male, Babbs Humperdink, owned by Mrs. William Babb and Erma Randol of California. Winners Bitch went to Lil Red Hot Pants of OKala.At the next two shows, Whidby Island and Olympia, both near Seattle, Wn. Marianne Melvilles little flyer was again Winners Dog and Best of Winners, with the Best of Breed also going to him at Olympia. I believe Jean Schrolls Ch. Holder's A Lil Red Flash was Best of Breed at Whidby Island. I dont know of any group placements, if any, at these last five shows as the owners havent notified me.A VERY SPECIAL BOUQUET at this time to two Juniors and their Poms Collette Higbee of Spanaway, Wn. andPOMERANIAN REVIEW 57her brother Robert are Junior and Obedience Handlers to be proud of. Collettes Pom, Higbees Taffy Kisses, recently acquired the CD title in Obedience trained and handled by Collette. I feel it is always more of an accomplishment for a youngster when they are able to take a dog through to an obedience title, especially so when it is a toy dog. Bob and his young male are working in Junior Handling and have also garnered several points towards a championship in conformation. Believe me, young Bob can compete with the adults at any show. These two youngsters, working together make a team worthy of congratulations.A bit of humor at this time is in order, and although I may have to hide out for a few days after this is published, I feel it is a refreshing story. Dolores Riggin, a friend near Portland, has a very possessive small Pom male who sleeps with her. Mr. Riggin works away from home frequently, and he also has had until recently a heavy Doc Holliday type mustache of which he was quite proud. On his return home one weekend he had shaved off his mustache, and when he climbed into bed with his wife he was promptly bitten by the Pom who wasnt about to have a strange man in his bed. A sore lip isnt as much fun as a hairy one, so the mustache is now on its way back.Poms, like other Toys, seem to be more possessive towards their families than most other breeds of dogs. Since they usually live in with their owners and are quick to sense feelings and to read minds, they usually think of themselves as part of the family. For this reason they are just as apt as not to attack a larger dog who comes on their property, or who comes too close to them or their owners at a show. A large breed of dog that they live with is often never fully accepted as belonging, only tolerated as a necessary evil. My sixty five lb. Doberman is sent running every so often by a couple of 2 lb. pups who, half seriously-half playfully, chew on hertoes just above the nails whenever they are on the floor with her. When they are used to having the larger dogs around it pays to be more cautious when you have the little guys out with strange dogs of the bigger breeds. The little ones just might attack those big ones and be injured or killed when the big one turns on them.An oldtimer in the Pomeranian breeding and exhibiting field visited with a local friend, Joy LeCompte, recently, and I was invited to meet her and her travelling companion. Florence Ryals of Tacoma, Wn. has been well known in past years for her lovely deep orange red Poms. It is a pleasure to meet someone who has her knowledge and memories of people and Poms of years past which we. ourselves, were not privileged to know. Wtih her, also, and just as enjoyable was another breeder who has been owned by Poms for a number of years. Helen Krafcik of Tacoma, also, owns a ceramics shop and makes beautiful little Pom pins, figurines and clocks with Pom heads where the numbers would ordinarily be. She loves Poms, as can be seen with her work with ceramics. She also had along with her, fortunately for me, several albums of pedigrees going back a number of generations on Poms that I wouldnt otherwise have been able to study without great work and effort. I must say that her system of filing pedigrees in album form is much more convenient, easy and simple than my own way.Another club in the Pacific Northwest has now been granted a license by AKC to hold its first point show. This is my own club, the Willamette Valley Kennel Club in Salem, Oregons beautiful capitol city. Our show will be held on Oct. 6th, the day before the Vancouver, Wn. show. With the Columbia Pomeranian Club in Portland, only 45 miles away on the freeway, and the very active Pudget Sound Pomeranian Club in the Seattle area only four hours away I am hoping that we will have a real showing of Poms and53 POMERANIAN REVIEWtheir people.

Sophie Case" and I want to extend our Sincere Thanks to the Pom Review for honoring us with the Sample Stud Card featuring our precious little "Denny", in the April Issue.We consider this a great honor. Thank you also for doing such a fine job Editing the Review. It has grown by leaps and bounds under your leadership and we sincerely hope that you will find the time to continue in this capacity for many years to come. I don't think that any of the members really realize the time, work and effort that is required to put out this quarterly publication. There just wouldn't be an American Pomeranian Club without it and it is your dedication that has made it and the Club what it is today.CATHERINE PROBST Tivoli, New YorkAs I hate to write letters, I have never written to Yips and Yaps, or any other section of the Pomeranian Review. But, after reading Mrs. Niehouses letter in the April issue, I feel that I must get this off my mind. Not as a member of the Board of the American Pomeranian Club, but as an individual. First, in answer to her and Mrs. Mayes, there was no MIX UP in the mailing of the Oct. Pom Reviews, and they WERE mailed. I dont know what Mrs. Dunns procedure is, but as John was working in N.Y.C. until June, 1972. I did most of the work. After the July books were mailed, each day, as I had time to spare, I started to address the Oct. envelopes alphabetically, by State. When Mrs. Mayes let us know the number of pages and how many Advertisers there were, we went to the P. O. with an old book and had it weighed. I bought the number of first and third class stamps needed and stamped the envelopes so they would be ready for mailing the day the books were delivered to us. With almost 700 books to go out, that meant about 1200 stamps. Sometimes, four to an envelope. The date of mailing was marked after every name in the Membership and Subscriber Book. If the people in Wash, didnt receive their Reviews, they were lost on their way from Tivoli to the West Coast. This is a very small P. O. They hated to see us give up the job and made sure everything went out the day it was brought in.We dont have the care of the books now, so I am going to tell you what Mrs. Dunn has to do. 700 books weigh over 350 lbs. They have to be handled several times before mailYAPSing.This is four times a year. We dont have sophisticated equipment. Every day requests come from people who want back numbers, information, etc. and most of them are very nice, sincere men and women interested in our lovely Breed. We are happy to do it, but no one likes un-called-for criticism.I wonder how many realize the hours of time, work and anguish Mrs. Mayes applies to the editing and advertising of the Pom Review. It was a great compliment to her a while back, when someone asked if the Review could be published more often. I, also, thought the same thing. Now I know better. See her article in the April issue.I have another opinion. If the Pom Review is the only reason for being a member of THE AMERICAN CLUB, INC., those people should resign and just be subscribers. I think it is an HONOR and I never had anyone say to me SO WHAT When I have a call for a puppy, the person usually asks, Are you a member of the A.P.C. Im always proud to answer YES.Regarding paragraph five of Mrs. Niehouses letter I am a 7th generation Long Islander N. Y. and never in my life did I hear anyone refer to a person from the western part of the country as a Hick. While on this subject, lets stop talking about people and dogs, who are superior, just because they come from a certain State or Section. Arent we all from the good old U.S.A. And how about our other Members in other parts of the world Australia, Bermuda, Canada and Japan.On voting for people you dont know Everyone has the privilege of sending in names. If they accept and five members endorse them, their names will be on the ballot. Year after years this has seldom happened. In fact, the majority of people dont bother to vote for anyone or any subject sent out for a choice. Another thinglook through the Review for the past 10 years. Im sure you wont find more than 50 people, out of over 600, whose names have appeared on any page. That includes advertisers and believe me, they are getting a bargain. The same people advertise, send money or trophies for the shows, give their time as show chairmen or trophy chairmen, advertising chairmen, you name it and they have done it. And what happens They are criticized and accused of trying to run the Club. If every Member and Subscriber sent 1.00 to the N. Y. Specialty Show, to have their name on the BOOSTER LISTa BOOST for youand would you miss it we wouldnt have to charge extra for the Pom. Review. Wouldnt it be nice if we acted like Pomeranians instead of people Think it over.70 POMERANIAN REVIEWYIPS YAPSMRS. PAUL LANDREVILLE St. Paul, Minn.I thought it might be of interest to the Pom folks of a fine three and a half week trip we took with our 10 Poms. We just returned andI. and all the Poms are well and happy. We have a camper and cocker size cages with a cat litter tray and blanket for a bed for each one.We took a wandering trip to Florida. We stopped to visit Mrs. Norris McKamey of Bettendorf, Iowa. After getting lost several times, we were on our way to Florida.We parked our camper with our good friend Mrs. Edna Girardot. We own Ch. Scotia Cavaliers Dare Devil and she was glad to see him again. We all had such a good time visiting and celebrating my husband Paul's Birthday. We did a lot of sightseeing and stopped to meet Sue Goddard in Seminole. Florida. Her husband was working so didn't get to meet him. We wanted to meet them when they lived in Houston, Texas, but the weather was too warm for the Poms.A week later, we again stopped at Edna's to celebrate her Birthday, and bred our daughter of Ch. Scotia Dare Devil and a granddaughter of Ch. Foxfire Chips. We bred her to Ch. Hadleigh Little Robin and bought Scotia Yogi Hello Dino-Mite. He is orange and full of coat and showmanship, and will be coming out at the shows.On the way home, we had very bad weather and had to stay 5 nights in Kentucky, Illinois and Iowa at the Holiday Inns.Besides the weather, our camper heater wouldn't kick inonly the pilot lightand we couldn't get parts to fix it. We covered the cages with wool blankets until we found a Motel. We do not have the camper air conditioned but find in heat or cold the wool blankets help a lot. Also we take water from home, which we find is very important. As the truck moves, it erradiates. Also we feed them the foods they like best. Small amounts and treats often. We never seem to have them get sick that way, and they get back to schedule when home again.We are going to try to get a mini bus, air conditioned, for our next trip. It will be easier to take care of them and less worry.BARBARA PIERCEAnaconda, MontanaI'm new to the Pomeranian breed, so there are many things I'd like to know from the'old hands. I'd like to see a good color description of all the colorssome aren't very descriptive. For instance, ''Beaversounds like a rich brown. "Wolf sable I thought was supposed to be gray with black tipped guard hairs, and yet Ive seen two dogs called wolf sable by their owners, and actually they were a dark tan with black shading on the muzzle, the ears and the saddle. Were they correctly called "wolf sable What color is a Blond dog Are white really pure whiteThen another thing Im wondering about is size. Ive see some dogs of fairly large size. One in particular was registered and offered at public stud locally, and he must have weighed 12 to 15 lbs. I wouldn't have guessed he was a Pom, if I hadnt seen his papers. He was the same general type dog, that is, erect ears, curled tail, etc. but had long, narrow muzzle and other characteristics not too Pom-like.Just what is the size range of the modern Pom I know the Standard reads 4-5 lbs. ideal size, so where do these large dogs come from Is it common to have a wide size range in offspring from the same parents, or are there some strains producing large PomsAlso. I'm wondering why one seldom hears of any whites winning in the shows. Ive been told that they arent the quality of the reds and oranges. Why should this be, and is it trueMaybe some of the readers could answer these questionsId appreciate it.THE BEST DOG DOES NOT ALWAYS WIN.It should come as no surprise to most of you that the best Pom does not always win the points. After quite a few years of experience, we feel that the reasons are clear to us. We invite Readers to comment on our list of reasons, given in descending order of frequency and importance1. The Best Pom does not show as well.2. Is not trainedconditionedgroomed as well.3. His handler is not as skilled. A top Professional Handler naturally has the edge here, but some ownerexhibitors are much better than others.4. PoliticsThe Judge knows someone andor owes someone a favor. We put this reason last in Class competition, but as Nos. 1, 2 3 scarcely exist in Group and Best In Show judging, we are inclined to give more importance to No. 4.POMERANIAN REVIEWINDEX TO ADVERTISERSDARRELL OLGA BAKER .................................................................................................. 29, 64VILMA BARTOLAT ................................................................................................................................ 9BAY COLONY POMERANIAN CLUB ................................................................................................ 18RUTH L.
