While many of these articles are aimed at judges, they are essential to both new and experienced breeders alike. The APC would like to encourage all Pomeranian fanciers to familiarize themselves with the materials we provide to current and future Pomeranian judges.
The education section is intended to serve as an educational tool for judges, breeders and exhibitors to help form a correct image of the “perfect” Pomeranian and to promote a better understanding of and appreciation for the Breed Standard of the Pomeranian. We hope this site will serve as a guide in interpreting that Standard.
Breeders and judges should both emphasize the positive. Breeders have the responsibility to try to breed Pomeranians as described by the Standard. Judges must find and place those dogs that best represent the qualities called for in the Standard. Breeders and Judges both must consider the whole dog, not overemphasizing any one part. Reward the virtues and penalize faults to the extent of the deviation from the ideal.
The American Pomeranian Club, Inc. is dedicated to providing accurate educational material to judges, aspiring judges and exhibitors.
