October 1993IHe was a clumsy, dopey little boy, but I fell head-over-heels in love with him...I am nobodys idea of a professional cattleman, but my love affair with the Angus breed has its roots in early childhood. As soon as was feasible in my life, I made sure that Angus played a part. And, like in the sport of purebred dogs, I was lucky to learn from some of the greats and to benefit from their vast knowledge. In particular, my partner Duane Dolls background was of great help - he grew up on a large ranch in Kansas and was winning with his own breeding at an early age. But, also like the sport of purebred dogs, after I had acquired sufficient knowledge to have a pretty good grasp of the ins and outs of the breed, I quickly learned to judge the way I judge many other things by gut instinct. It has rarely proved me wrong.And so it was with Tony. As I wandered around the fancy ranch during the pre-auction viewing, I came face-to-face with the most breathtaking Angus female I had ever seen. And huddled at her feet was a little boy who even then exuded that special quality that smacks of stardom. I was smitten.I was also bidding in pretty fast company, for the buyers were from all over the world. They had arrived by limo, private jet, and, for all I know, space shuttle, I mean, we were talking really high finance here. Imagine my surprise not to mention that of some rich people from Brazil when we outbid all comers and Rose and her baby boy were ours.Tony took them all on right out of the box. As he grew and developed we knew we had a winner we were determined to give him every opportunity to show what he could do.It is the sameFLORIDA STATE FAIr Jfcfi 4F ir1j Owner Duane Doll, fitter Tommy Lee, andyours truly appear stunned at the top award attained by Circle G Remington, commonly called, "Tony."commitment we have always made to the dogs. And, as in dogdom, there comes a time when the show career is over and one must move on to other individuals. So after a fabulous career, Tony retired to a life of leisure and occasional breeding.Its a little odd, I suppose, to keep cattle as companion animals. But, as our dogs are family, the cattle are our pets. And, contrary to widespread belief, they doTony winning his third Grand Champion award - another record of sorts as he was always the youngest Angus in competition. His incredible growth rate is very apparent.have personalities. But Tony turned out to be, indeed, one-of-a-kind.At maturity he weighed 2,700 pounds, and he was well aware of his impressive stature. Any time of the day you could glance up on the hill and there he would be, stacked perfectly, posing for the worlds admiration. Another habit of his provided a little excitement to strangers. Tony, quite often, would stand right at the comer of the property, startling the daylights out of drivers rounding the comer. Often you would hear a screech of brakes. One man told me he thought it was a statue until Tony flicked his tail. He was dignity personified or bovinified, perhaps. And he became something of a local tourist attraction.But the time came when Tony was surrounded by only his mother and daughters andthat kind of breeding program is not exactly smart. A long-time admirer sf his had begged us for years to sell him one day we made the decision and we, truth to tell, cried as he left. But the place he was going was great, and the facility, first- rate. Tony was put on display at a feed store and his circle of admirers grew and grew. And Tony grew more magnificent by the day.Today we got a phone call that effectively mined the month. Last night Tony was struck by lightning. He died instantly.And so we started thinking that it was somehow our fault, that if he had stayed here, he would be alive and well. But, of course, that kind of thinking never got anybody anywhere. No matter how many contracts are signed, and agreements reached, once a dog, a cat, or any animal becomes the property of someone else, we really have no control. And freak accidents do happen.Well, we did our best for him while he was here. He wanted for nothing and, I believe, he knew that he was loved. And in that we find some measure of consolation.With thanks to Tonv foThe Pom Reader October 1993Ben Ray PomsPRESENTSit IVSiAAjJOne of ourfavorites and one of his daughtersOPPOSITE SEX WINNERS BITCHNEW CHAMPIONSiCh.

OlympiaDear OlympiaHAIRLESS DWARFSAs you can see, nothing really bad has happened to me yet, but that could be due to the fact that subscribers have not yet received the September 1993 issue of the Pom Reader and havent read my controversial opinions regarding cryptorchid males. Be that as it may, Ive decided to assay another essay and add fuel to the fire.This time I am addressing the subject of Hairless Dwarfs. I am no geneticist, nor am I professing to be, but one thing is evident about this skin disease simply that if you breed to a dog with it you will surely get offspring with the disease. At the veryleast, you will get a carrier of the condition.In my last article, I discussed what Pomeranian breeders were breeding for...and I concluded that it was for beauty and for beauty alone. Our toys dont work, pull sleds in snow, or herd cattle in winter. They dont hunt deer, bear, antelope, or the like, and they do not physically defend our homes, ranches, or office buildings from predators. We love and treasure our toys simply for their beauty and for the pleasure that trait brings us. Their beauty should be evident day-in and day-out, every day of every month of every year, for as long as they live. And, if we, as owners andbreeders, are to brag on our dogs and their beauty, we must be able to show them at all times. If we must hide our dogs in the closet, or under the bed, or at our boyfriends house or girlfriends house when visitors come, then changes are definitely in order.Getting angry at anyone who mentions this skin disease, blaming me for bringing the matter into the open, feeling that this article is aimed specifically at you, arguing that low profile should be maintained and that dirty linen shouldnt be aired in public, will not solve the problem. It will not just go away if it is ignored.It is time for drastic measures to be taken and RESPONSIBLE POMERANIAN BREEDERS MUST STAND UP AND BE COUNTEDBreeding, even once, to any dog that has the disease is a mockery of the Code of Ethics of the APC, which every breeder affirms every time heshe applies for a litter registration through the AKC. I specificall call your attention to numbers 6, 10 nd 11 of the Code which I excerpt7 lc for your conveniei 'eThe Pom Reader October 1993116.1 will advise the purchaser of my puppy to have the puppy checked by a veterinarian within 2 days 48 hours of the sale additional time allowed if the puppy is sold on a Friday or Saturday. I will refund the purchase price or take the puppy back and replace it, if it is found to be unfit.10. In my breeding program I will keep alert for and work to control andor eradicate inherited problems and conditions that are particular to my breed, and breed asclosely as possible to the standard of the breed.11.1 will represent my dogs as honestly as possible to prospective buyers and try to assist the serious novice in his understanding of the breed.Breeding a bitch to a dog over and over again and producing litter after litter with the disease is unconscionableAt this point, everyone who writes about this problem goes into a genetic mode to justify the continued use ofan afflicted animal for breeding purposes. Unable to dazzle you with brilliance, they go into convoluted explanations and try to baffle you with B.S.. The issue at hand is plain and simple and it does not take Mendel and his wrinkled pea or tall and short plants to figure it out. I will state for you the only two ways that I see it can occur and you will see for yourself that ABC. You can use your own alphabet and come up with the same equations. The first way is a matter of simple genetics see diagram below leftThe second way is sex-linked. The only real things necessary to remember with this method are1. When affected males are bred to carrier females, you will get both affected males and affected females.2. When affected males are bred to clear females, no affected males result, but all females are carriers.3. When clear males are bred to carrier females, you may expect affected males and carrier females.About the only thing that I can see as positive about sex linkage of the disease is that if a male does not exhibit it, then he does not carry the gene at all therefore, we at least have a few good dogs to start over with.Females are another matter. If a female bred to a clear male produces affected puppies, she is obviously a carrier and should be removed from a breeding program and spayed. One thing that makes the determination of a carrier difficult is that by breeding directly and repeatedly to males exhibiting the condition, whether with or without hair at the time of breeding the females status as a carrier remains in question. However, it must be remembered that a female out of an affected dog is always a carrier, so that at least in these situations we may eliminate these bitches from our breeding program. Any way you slice this pie, whether Sex-Linked or Simple Genetics, the salient fact remains that you cannot breed to a male that exhibits the condition without passing on the trait either directly or indirectly through his daughters.I know, and I am sure that you know, of instances where avid show peopleA AA AA AAA AA AAALL CLEARa aa aa aaa aa aaA Aa aA aA 1a aA aA 1ALL AFFEC TEDALL CARRIERSAACLEARaACARRIERaaAFFECTEDA aA AA Aaa aA aaONE CLEAR ONE CARRIERONE CARRIER ONE AFFECTEDA aJA AA A Aa aA aATWO CLEAR TWO CARRIERSa aA aA aAa aa aaTWO CARRIERS TWO AFFECTEDThe Pom Reader October 199312have a multitude of affected dogs and show them when they can. When one goes out of coat, they simply retire that dog temporarily and begin to show another dog who is currently not affected. Unless we, as responsible breeders, do something drastic now, we are on the verge of making our Pom breed so proliferated with these hairless dwarfs that there will be no uncontaminated bloodline left.Ive heard of all of the various witches brews, comprised of exotic components like bat wings, toad eyes, and hummingbird tongues, and of the various ointments and concoctions that you are supposed to rub on the affected dogs by the dark of the moon but, truth to tell, these dont work. Nor do the costly thyroid shots and cefa drops that desperate and despairing owners try. If it appears that they do work occasionally, this is due to the fact that it was just time that the dog was going to recoat anyway. Regardless, he still shouldnt be shown or used in any breeding program.We seem to have forgotten what stock our little Poms came from, and that is 30-pound, full-coated Arctic dogs. Like begets like and selective breeding necessitates ruthless destruction of the inferior and unsound stock and keeping only healthy, sound stock which conforms to the breed standard. What is happening to the Pom breed Have breeders started keeping the unsound for breeding purposes and selling our sound dogs for pets We should all remember that one hairless dwarf can destroy a breed faster than 100 unsound females. Just think a minute before you refute this claim. A male stud can breed one a day and each mating can produce from 1 to 3 hairless runts or carriers. A female can breed once or twice a year and , if the breeder is lucky, produce from 1-3 puppies per litter. You dont have to be a mathematician to see that the numbers show the male to have significantly more impact than the female in the spread of this disease. Today, some of the top winning dogs in the country are propagators of this vile and grotesque disease. Yet they continue to show until they have no hair left at all and, perhaps more importantly, they continue to breed.The Pom Reader October 1993If you think that vile and grotesque is too harsh a description of these dogs, ask any non-Pom fanciers their opinion of the beauty of one of these dogs...or, for a less tactful appraisal, ask their children. Our Poms are beautiful with their hair, but are repulsive without it. I do not mean that owners are not as fond of these dogs as they are of full coated animals, but, however much one loves them, these animals do not have a place in a well- maintained breeding program.Here we are back at the inconsistency we started our conversation about last month. On the one hand, we have a male that is beautiful 365 days a year and all he will do is produce progeny as beautiful as he is. Yet this dog is disqualified from the show ring because he lacks two fully descended testicles and he might pass this trait on to his offspring. On the other hand, we have a hairless dwarf who is being shown, advertised and used at stud indiscriminately, even though everyone knows that the hairless trait is being passed on to his progeny.Let us, as responsible breeders and lovers of the Pom breed, accept responsibility for our actions. Stop worshipping at the shrine of glamour and begin to remove the unsound animals from our gene pool. Breed only the sound. If the American Kennel Club can come to our offices and homes to see if our paperwork is in order and I applaud this action, then maybe it is time for their officials to take a hand in this matter. Maybe thetime has come for the AKC to make unscrupulous breeders do what all breeders should do to begin with maintain a breeding program which is in the best interests of the breed and strive to improve the breed, not destroy itThe consensus, it seems to me, is that all these super wonders are truly super dogs until they reach the age of 8 months to 1 year. At that time they promptly shed all their hair except for a small amount around the head and legs, and all that remains is this awful, grotesque, black skin. Some dogs get their coat back after 6 to 8 months, some never recoat. These dogs are kept hidden from the public eye, but not from breeding.Two questions come to mind. Why are we allowed to let our dogs become champions at an early age 1 Year Your guess is as good as mine. Is it our job to act responsibly, or should AKC be our warden and check that we dont destroy a beautiful toy breed for our human and greedy benefits The answer to this question can be as complicated as the Middle East Crisis which, by the way, they are getting close to solving.Dean Hebert, Treasured PomsI thank Dean for addressing this truly ticklish subject.

SHARPDARWIN SHARP III16Hy Pom Palby Pam WestPOM READERS...The following story is absolutely delightful. Barbara Montgomery has a writing ability that carries the reader through the story with her. However, Ive just received some sad news...little 6 month old SaraLee has a congenital heart defect will not be with Barbara much longer. Im sure all the Pom Readers join me in expressing sympathy to you, Barbara.Tk Sara Lee Sorority Meets ml Defeats Mottr .I - v Udms\ 4Clockwise from left Sara Lee, Teddie, Chantilly MelissaThe trouble really began when SaraLee became lonesome. SaraLee, you will recall, is our imaginary steakh'ouse Pom from McKinney, Texas. Accustomed to the comradeship of her two sisters, and far too tiny to tussle with anyone else, she had gradually succumbed to a mute loneliness as she wandered morosely from room to room, searching for a playmate. Our octagenarian Pekingese have always disdained foolish amusement, the Tibetan Spaniel is intent on preserving her Oriental aura of regal aloofness, and our two Shelties tower in true Trojan Horse splendor far, far above the stratosphere of SaraLees domain.Thus, busy negotiations began to alleviate our solitary Poms plight, as we contacted various breeders throughout the country. Finally, after an eternity of exchanging letters, photos and airline schedules, three Poms were selected to form the SaraLee sorority - two Partis from Oklahoma and a stunning girl from Silver Springs, New York. We arranged to have all the girls arrive in Dallas-Fort Worth at varying times on the same afternoon, the final arrival being at 500 p.m.. Nothing could be easier, rightWrong. To the uninitiated, 500 p.m. may seem an innocent enough hour - certainly nothing to induce panic or hysteria. But to a Texan, DFW at 500 p.m. means bumper-to- bumper, one-inch-an-hour movement, clogged exits vomiting smoking, bilious vehicles as far as the eye can see, and, in the broiling sun of The Pom Reader October 1993late July, overheated engines sputtering to a stubborn halt from progressing for hours at a vapor-locking crawl.To negotiate oneself successfully in such a situation because one has to work in the area requires true grit, but to have five oclock DFW traffic with the intention of arriving at the largest airport in the world, especially WHEN YOU DONT REALLY HAVE TO DO SO is more than foolhardy. More than reckless, careless, or insane, even. To accomplish or even attempt such a feat requires that a person suffer from a mental derangement known to their families as Pomeranian Pal Paranoia. Being an acute and chronic sufferer of this malady, I said my prayers, breezedblithely through the traffic and into the airline terminals to collect my new children, presented them to captive bystanders for a sufficient quota of oohs and aahs, and began the return journey home to Waco.The three new girls Melissa, Teddie and Chantilly meanwhile busily inspected their quarters in the back of the old Honda, where cuddler beds, water, toys and treats had been lovingly prepared.Their ex-cathedra of approval was pronounced by snuggling into beds with yawns and sighs of contentment as they drifted peacefully into a serene slumber.The girls steady chorus of fluctuating snores remained uninterrupted as we approached Hillsboro and began reducing speed in search of a gas station offering full service.And here I must reluctantly confess membership to that antiquated society of women who cannot use gasoline pumps without drowning themselves in the fuel. Once, just once, I attempted this mysterious ritual, onlu to be gas-drenched minutes before the old gentleman at the neighboring pump tossed a burning cigar onto the pavement. Quaking in terriof the cuddler beds.Dont worry, girls I assured them cheerily. Mama has to stop for gas here. Youre all just fine. Good girlsWearily we continued on, finding only red dust and depression-era houses devoid of all life signs.Where in the sam hill is the town I muttered sotto voce, turning down yet another sleepy, red-dusted street, only to deadend into the school. I know it has got to be here somewhere. Willie Nelson grew up here, so the town must exist At this point the feed mill loomed into view again, and I realized we were going nowhere but in aimless circles. To further illustrate this profound truth, Melissa began to salivate excessively in preparation for a full-scale motion-sickness attack.The gauge was below empty, the girls were wimpering piteously, and I was beyond desperate when at last we pulled into the protective shadow of an ancient country store, which had seemed to appear suddenly in the cloud of red dust we had stirred up. I hastily scooped the three Poms into my arms and trudged across the creaking sidewalk into the old building. Coming from the glaring sunshine, my eyes refused to adjust to the dim interior of the store, and, when at last they did, my mind immediately rejected the image received.For here 20th Century technology had been forever suspended in favor of an era when womens chiffon skirts demurely trailed the floor, a surfeit of candy could be purchased for five cents, and everyone delighted in the escapes of Teddy Roosevelt from his mundane duties in the Oval Office. For here, barrels and shelves and candy jars with cherry licorice sticks greeted my astonished gaze, while a tall young man in a crisply starched white shirt with sleeve gaiters turned slowly in my direction.Can I help you, Missy he inquired amiably, wiping his hands on a cream- colored butchers apron and looking for all the world exactly like Charles Lindberg.Well....... I stammered hesitantly,unable to collect my scattered thoughts. Yes. Is there a full-service gas station around here anywhereNope. he replied, leaving his post at the counter and ambling toward the door. Just that one pump over there by the oldrailroad depot. But if you go on to..............The Pom Reader October 199318Oh, dear I exclaimed in distress, I cant go on to anywhere My tank is already below empty My tank, the cars tank and the Poms tanks as well, I could have added.What dya think, Mabel my Lindberg inquired of an elderly woman emerging from the depths of the counter.Wahl, Bob, he works that pump, Ed, she declared firmly, placing her freckled hands squarely on her ample hips. An heez sick, yano. Sleeps ever afternoon cuzn the heat. Kint sturb him fer nuthin.Well, Mabel, just what do you suggest she do, then Lindy demanded testifyWahl,dunno fer shure, Mabel returned, shrugging her plump shoulders petulantly. Gess shell hafta wait fer heem ta wake up.When does he usually do that I inquired with none-too-sanguine hopes.Wahl, Ma Kettle drawled, clearly enjoying herself, dee-pins. Sometimes bout nine in the even. Other times hits pert neer midnight.Mabel, young Lindberg stated authoritatively, this lady cannot wait for Bob to wake up. Shes got those poor little mousedogs to tend to, and its over 102 out there. You want the whole kit and caboodle of em for houseguests, maybe Cause they have to spend the night somewhere.Wahl, I reckon hits time for me to git upstahrs an check on Bob, Mabel decided. Seems as hits bout his medsin time, anyways.As Ma Kettle manuevered her ponderous girth up the stairs in indignant rebellion, I returned to the evenings heat and proceeded to wag the three girls up and down the shuddering length of creaking sidewalk while we waited for Bob. A soft twilight breeze gently caressed the Poms alertly erect ears, while blowing a solitary tumbleweed into our path. Obviously city girls, the three became much alarmed upon seeing the tortuous brambled monster and, after scrambling free from my grasp, they proceeded to race down the full length of sidewalk before diving head-first into the protective depths of the car.Those yers a lanky, leather-faced man coming from the store questioned pleasantly.Yes. Are you BobThe one and only, he nodded inaffirmation. Bring yer car on over and well fill er up.Ten minutes later, with a full tank of gas and three hot, sleepy girls, we were ready to find the interstate and head home. As I turned to check on the Poms one last time before fastening my seatbelt, I caught a glimpse of Mabel, Bob and Lindy standing in front of the store, waving their hands wildly in a true Texas farewell. As I returned the gesture and started off into the dusky twilight, their voices followed us down the rapidly-darkening street.Bye Be careful Teck good keer of them leetle mousedogs Come back and see usAn hour later and utterly exhausted, we stumbled into the kitchen amid the mass hysteria of nine overjoyed little dogs and one very anxious sibling.Where have you been my sister inquired in furious exasperation. You should have been home hours ago Ive been so worriedNow, why would you worry about me I returned, sighing wearily. You know I NEVER have any adventures.Besides, Lindy, Mabel and Bob took good care of me. At this she closed her eyes in utter defeat and silently implored the Almighty for patience in dealing with her errant sibling.Dont even tell me, she breathed at last, her tone faintly tinged with surrender. Youve been gone six hours, talk of complete strangers caring for you and look like you got caught in a wind tunnel at the airport. This must be another story for the Pom ReaderI smiled benignly in assent while gathering the new girls into my embrace. Such good girls, I murmured in sotto voce satisfaction.

Orance Avenue Perris, CA 92571 909 657-8166The Pom Reader October 199320The tires on the wet pavement seemed to hiss, check serra. One eye opened and through the fog in my brain, the time registered midnight. Just a few minutes ago the news had gone off and so had I. Serra started to yodel and dig furiously. My tired body wanted those warm soft covers not a premature whelping.I had checked her temperature earlier that evening and her temp was 101.1. That is why I had watched the late news, there would not be pups tonight. The persistent yodeling told me differently. I struggled to my feet, put on my robe and flopped down on the milking stool placed next to the pen.I put my hand on Serras head and she gratefully licked my hand. It was okay, Mother was there. I checked her and there were two water sacks showing. It concerned me, but they were not green, just a normal color. I stroked her as she hadpups nurse. The first night I got up every hour except when my husband got up, because I slept two hours and missed those two feedings. I held the pups onto her breasts, first giving them the fading-puppy drops to make them alert and after the feeding, more puppy drops so that they could hold on until I started the process all over again.The first pup to die was the strongest, most vigorous of the three. A bitch.Faithfully, I would get up every two hours since I had lost all motor coordination and had to get more rest orBy Barbara J. La Croixcontractions, alternately checking her progress and she placed herself under my hand to be petted.The first tiny pup was a bitch bom at 2a.m.. The next one came at 330, a dog. Serra always had four pups, so I waited, and at 5a.m. came the stillborn that I had come to expect. She had always been hot, and panted all the time. She would dig in the nest and pups would go flying everywhere. She now sported a spiffy Mohawk. Legs and sides were shorn to make her more comfortable and it seemed to work. Just in case, I placed her into another pen and placed the pups on a heating pad. She was not pleased with her mother now. At 7a.m. the last bitch was bom. I put everyone back together and Serra settled down to nurse.I gave everyone fading-puppy drops and, since the pups were not quite two ounces, I held them to mother to nurse. I had always lost the pups before and I had talked to breeders who suggested that she be put on penicillin and from her first litter being bom on the 56th day she now went 68 days. I had given them pediatric stat, honey mixed with water, nutrical and water, esbilac, but up to now nothing had saved the pups.Serna was a good mother, letting theThe Pom Reader October 1993injure myself in a fall. I was upset that my failure to get up every hour had made the loss happen. I started to get up every hour again.The other bitch was the more vigorous and after a good 12 hour of nursing on a very patient Serra, I placed her on her moms tummy since Serra was on her back to ease my burden. I had placed box and all on the foot of my bed and kicked the milking stool there so I could have a nice working height. The pup voided on mother and started to slide off. I grabbed it and suddenly all four feet met in the front of the pup and she had rigor. I sat there, mouth open, wondering what had happened. I gave it mouth to mouth and cardiac massage and she revived. She nursed more after puppy drops and I went back to bed. The next morning she was dead and her brother not much more alive. I revived him with the puppy drops but he did not want to nurse at all. I put him under Serra and went to take a shower. When I came back into the bedroom ther was Serra looking up at me and the pup was lying motionless across her paws. She looked at the pup and back up at me. There was agony in those big brown eyes she had been a good girl and donewhat was asked of her and still she lost her pups.The breeder that I had purchased Serra from had one litter at 56 days that did not survive. She had told me this before I purchased her, so I had been warned. This was the third time we were not able to save the pups. After talking to vets, the consensus was toxic milk syndrome. It was suggested that after letting the pups nurse 24 hours, I hand-raise them. With such tiny pups, no matter how genetically wonderful they might be, that is a tall order. Even with Serra helping, it was hard. Another suggestion was that if I had another bitch whelping at the same time, I could get the other mother to adopt them. This is a better alternative for me if not the other bitch. Is this problem genetic I have heard other breeders say not to keep a pup from a problem mother. This certainly would qualify as a problem.At this time I dont feel that I should breed her again and knock ourselves out for a probably negative outcome. My husband, bless him, feels that way also. I will not spay her and I will see what else I can find out about this problem and see what other breeders suggest. I have six months before the decision has to be made.When I sell a pup, frequently the buyers state that they want to raise just one litter. I smile inside and wish them well, knowing full well how difficult that can be. I tell them that I am willing to help any way that I can and feel free to call me. I am grateful for the help I have gotten along the way from breeders who have stopped everything they were doing when I had problems whelping a litter. There is always the possibility that they may be the proud owners of a pup that might make it to' min'BarJGvafenhovstsSpecializing in gorgeous Blacks, Black Tans ChocolatesAt Grafenhorsts, we are striving for superb temperament, superior conformation, and exquisitely beautiful coats of the proper texture.Pictured left, a typical Grafenhorst Pom.Watch for our Poms in the show ringBreederHORST GRAF12000 NW 2nd Street, Plantation, FL 33325 305 475-2465Puppies Occasionally Available to Responsible, Loving Homes9faALDENS KENNELHome of Champion Parti GirlsCh.

So many times we hear from newcomers to the sport of dogs that are discouraged because they feel it will take them many years before then- dues are paid and they are recognized. I believe Sharons relatively quick success story will alleviate those fears and prove it can be done with proper dedication and direction.Sharon began in 1985 and to date has 14 champions to her show credit. She is a member of the American Pomeranian Club serving as a current board member and a member of the Charleston Kennel Club, Greater Baltimore Pomeranian Club and Central Carolina Pomeranian Club. She has served as vice-president, secretary and match chairperson in some of these organizations. For the year 1991 after only six years of breedingshowing Sharon was awarded the Top Winning Dog, Distinguished Exhibitor, Distinguished Breeder and Distinguished Service awards from the Central Carolina Pom Club.That was her most memorable moment and brought tears which will never dim. Having always sworn that any accomplishments would result from small numbers in the breeding program usually 20 in residence, including pups these awards will always be treasured.Sharon is currently studying for a future judging career, and as many of her admirers told me as I worked on this visit, Sharons enormous energy, dedication to honesty and her usual thorough competency, we know that venture will be successful.Lois CilibertoKNOCK, KNOCKWhos There THE POM READER VISITS'Men ^kires iQemsSharon John MasnickGrowing up on a dairy and stock farm in Northeast Missouri, my exposure to animals began at an early age. I always had a pet whether it be a lamb, kitten, duck, or dog. After graduation I dated a man who trained coon dogs and also showed Hound breeds.We attended dog shows and I started watching the Poms and declared that someday I would have a top winning dog and that I would breed them as a hobby. Right away my friend gave me a windbreaker with a Pom on the back with the name Golden Airesmv- s i writtenacross the top. He gave me my kennel name and I still have the jacket.At that time, I owned only a pet Pom named Pepper that a lady from Southern Missouri sold me because he was neutered. He had a lovely full coat and weighed only three and a half pounds. Later I married, but I still kept my dream in the back of my mind. Moving around in the military and having a small child plus a career kept me busy. I had other hobbies such as jogging, crafts and bowling.I still kept a Pom as a pet and grew more and more attached to the breed.After my husband retired from the military and my son was a teenager, my dream began to surface. I joined the Charleston Kennel Club where I met Pat Brooks, a Pom lover who knew many Pom people. She suggested to me that I subscribe to the Pom publications available.One day when I was buying groceries, the bag boy asked me what kind of dog I owned as I had dog food in the bag. I told him that I had a pet Pom, but that I wanted a show dog. I told him the local dogs were very large and not show quality. He said, My parThePom Reader October 1993Sharons love of animals was evident early on - here she is on the farm in Missouri, with an early pet26t.OUE-WMents go to a vet in Beaufort, South Carolina and he has a Pom client with show Poms. A call to the vet in Beaufort led me to Dr. Hal Codings, who referred me to Cassandra R. Evans as he had gotten his Poms from her.I called Cassandra and arranged to visit her. I bought two Poms from her. The next few years, while she still lived in Aiken, I visited her many times and I learned alot from her about medication, training, whelping and keeping puppies alive.Her first homebred champion was the sire of my first homebred champion,Ch. Golden Aires Priceless Gem. Our most recent accomplishment together was being cobreeders of American and Canadian Ch. Golden Aires Kip A Wee Heart.I was now taking the Pom Review and I noticed Ch, Emcees Solid Gold Diamonds photo and I would, almost daily, say to John, Do you ever think we can own a dog this lovelySoon I noticed an ad with a show dog for sale with nine points and his sire was Emcees Solid Gold Diamond. From Janice Young, I was able to purchase Twin Pines Tico Tico and a brood bitch. Thank goodness for Janice trusting aThe sign at the entrance to the property makes it easy for visitors to findnovice. With the help of PatBrooks, I hired an agent to show and finish Tico Tico. He was my first show dog and he became the foundation of my breeding program.The purchase of Tico Tico led me to Dr. Morris Carson who sold me two broods, and from Mrs. James Dupre I also bought a brood bitch. I now had four brood bitches from excellent lines that-ih'V.vi. blended with Tico Tico. I shall always be grateful to these people for helping and trusting a beginner. Perhaps that is why today I always take time for the beginner and try to help them. I remember being there - and not so long agoI also called and visited Desaree Sandifer of Gastonia, NC. In a short time, we became very close friends. I never bought a dog from her, but we did somebreedings together and I showed two of her dogs for her. Desaree introduced me to Ruth Beam and I was able to use Ruths stud dogs because Desaree would take the bitches over there for me -1 worked and could not get time off to travel the four hours. Desaree did whelp some litters for me and when Hurricane Hugo was about to hit, I took the Poms and stayed with Desaree for a week. She has been a wonderful friend to me and our only regrets were that we did not meet sooner.I did a breeding to Ch. Chriscendo Western Express and four females were whelped. Later I listed one for sale in the Pom Reader. My ad was answered by Bemie and Lois Ciliberto and that call resulted in a wonderful friendship that I shall always treasure. We have spent some wonderful times together during my visits to them and on trips to Florida for shows. On one trip to Florida they introduced me to Eleanor Miller. Eleanor at the time was showing Calvin Klein and I became her shadow for the weekend. I was in love with the dog I soon decided that I wanted to bring a new line into my breeding program and I wanted to keep the same look and type. I decided I wanted the Millamor line. Eleanor had no pups available as they were moving and not breeding. I contacted Mrs. Wilma Jean Brown and she referred me to Nina Epps. From Nina Epps, I was fortunate enough to purchase some brood bitches and one bitch,Marketta, had been bred to Ch. Millamors Mark Tradition. Marketta whelped three males for me and one of those males was my precious Wally Ch. Golden Aires Moonwalker. He has become my foundation male and is being bred to all the Tico Tico daughters and the Tradition daughter that I have.Wally became a multiple group winner but his show career was cut short by an accident. This story was printed in the Pom Reader in December of 1992. His accident has been the w - thing tin. happened to me since edThe Pom Reader October 1993TVS'-27The two doors at the side of the house are the entrance to the puppy rooms off the kitchen.All pups are raised in the house. This is the area in which Sharon grooms asthere is a laundry sink and grooming area in the first room, the two pens are separated by a short fence that one can step over. The grave pen is open on one end and sheltered at the other with a carport-type covering for shade the pen is 16x32.

One evening on the Florida Circuit she was sitting at his feet and growled at me when cam to move her. Als advice, support, experience and friendship has meant a great deal to John and me. He helped me through a very difficult time after Wallys accident. The Pom Reader October 1993Poms. However, I have had three broken legs while my Poms have been in the care of someone else. I learned that one must take the good with the bad because sometimes we are not in control. To be involved in this sport, one must be ready to make a real commitment and be truly dedicated. It is really hard to struggle to keep a small puppy alive only to lose the battle after hours and days of trying so hard to save the puppy.Along with all the wonderful people youlr_TheMasnicksbeach house sold before theycould build in the country the mobile home that was their temporary residence was adapted for the dogs upon completion of the house. It had everything I needed for a kennel building, Sharon says. My husband laughs and says the phone is off limit to the dogsmeet, you willalso meet those who own dogs for the wrong reasons. Involvement with these people can cause you pain, but you must focus on your own goals. My friend, Lois, always laughs when I say Til just float my boat and stay remoteEarly on I learned a valuable lesson about Pom puppies and their development that has affected my placement of Poms. Back in 1986 I had a male Pom that at ten weeks ofThe welcome mat is always out at the home of the golden Aires Pomsage I felt was show quality. I remember sending his picture to Dr. Carson and sharing my excitement. Well, this wonderful puppy fell apart and I was crushed. The 4-6 months told the story. I learned that Poms can lengthen in leg and body. I began at that point to keep good records of weight and took pictures. I watched my litters grow up and develop. I learned from what I bred. I operated by the rule if it was good we would repeat the breeding and if it was not what I expected, we did not do it again. To this day, I do not like to promise a show prospect unless a puppy is close to six months of age.I was attracted to this breed by the beauty, personality and coat. I have learned what we give to the Pom theygive back to us two----------------------- fold. I have found thePoms to be good therapy for me. Sometimes when my job is stressful and I come home they are happy to see me and make no demands except to be loved. I soon forget the day at work.Due to my work schedule, my social life has become what I do with the dogs. Most of my friends are dog people and my free time and vacation time is spent going to dog shows, matches and meetings. I owe the ability to do what i do to my husband and friend, John. He becomes the caretaker of the Poms when I am away.I feel fortunate at this time to have found an agent for my dogs that not only loves the Poms, but has been a great help to me. A1 Miniero handles our dogs plushe has become a friend and advisor. His experience and support has been appreciated by us both.I am not sure what the future brings, but I know for sure there will be a Pom in my life as they truly light up my life. Since 1985, we have had the joy of 16 champions and two specials. My success has been made possible by truly wonderful Pom people who have given of their time, shared their talents and have been willing to trust us with their Poms, believing that we would do the right thing with them.My thanks go to these people.One of the most important things I have learned in breeding dogs is that one never stops learning and there is always room for improvement. When I do a breeding, I look at the bitch and decide what I would like to change or improve and what I would like to retain. I try to choose a stud dog to accomplish this. I like to breed like ancestors as I feel it gives one some predictability in what the outcome will be. I feel it is important to outcross occasionally for a reason but that the offspring needs to be bred back into the line. An outcross the first time is usually successful if you are using well bred specimens. I feel a pedigree is an important tool in a breeding program. For me it serves as a roadmap to direct me to where I am headed.I would like to see Poms shownThe Pom Reader October 199329My son Gregg playing with puppies.

I would also like judges to really judge the dogs and pay less attention to the handler. I realize my years of involvement are few compared to some, but my dedication is sincere. I feel we should strive to be more understanding and supportive of each other. I think we should direct our energies to breeding the best Pom ever.I hope to be remembered as a breeder who contributed to the betterment of this wonderful breed, was helpful to others and tried to show good sportsmanship and was fair in my dealings with others.In closing, I want to share this poem with you.
