Dogs and All about Them
·

LEGS--The
fore-legs
must
be
well
feathered,
perfectly
straight,
of
medium
length,
and
not
such
as
would
be
termed
"leggy"
or
"low"
on
leg,
but
in
due
proportion
in
length
and
strength
to
a
well-balanced
frame.
Must
be
fine
in
bone
and
free
in
action.
The
hind-legs
and
thighs
must
be
well
feathered,
neither
contracted
nor
wide
behind;
the
feet
small
and
compact
in
shape.
Shoulders
should
be
clean,
and
well
laid
back.
TAIL--The
tail
is
one
of
the
characteristics
of
the
breed,
and
should
be
turned
over
the
back
and
carried
flat
and
straight,
being
profusely
covered
with
long,
harsh,
spreading
hair.
COAT--There
should
be
two
coats,
an
undercoat
and
an
overcoat;
the
one
a
soft
fluffy
undercoat,
the
other
a
long,
perfectly
straight
coat,
harsh
in
texture,
covering
the
whole
of
the
body,
being
very
abundant
round
the
neck
and
fore
part
of
the
shoulders
and
chest
where
it
should
form
a
frill
of
profuse
standing
off
straight
hair,
extending
over
the
shoulders.
The
hind-quarters
should
be
clad
with
long
hair
or
feathering,
from
the
top
of
the
rump
to
the
hock.
COLOUR--All
whole
colours
are
admissible,
but
they
should
be
free
from
white
or
shadings,
and
the
whites
must
be
quite
free
from
lemon
or
any
other
colour.
A
few
white
hairs
in
any
of
the
self
colours
shall
not
necessarily
disqualify.
At
present
the
whole
coloured
dogs
are:--White,
black,
brown
(light
or
dark),
blue
(as
pale
as
possible),
orange
(which
should
be
as
deep
and
even
in
colour
as
possible),
beaver,
or
cream.
Dogs,
other
than
white,
with
white
foot
or
feet,
leg
or
legs,
are
decidedly
objectionable
and
should
be
discouraged,
and
cannot
compete
as
whole
coloured
specimens.
In
parti-coloured
dogs
the
colours
should
be
evenly
distributed
on
the
body
in
patches;
a
dog
with
white
or
tan
feet
or
chest
would
not
be
a
parti-colour.
Shaded
sables
should
be
shaded
throughout
with
three
or
more
colours,
the
hairs
to
be
as
"uniformly
shaded"
as
possible,
with
no
patches
of
self
colour.
In
mixed
classes
where
whole
coloured
and
parti-coloured
Pomeranians
compete
together,
the
preference
should,
if
in
other
points
they
are
equal,
be
given
to
the
whole
coloured
specimens.
Where
classification
is
not
by
colours
the
following
is
recommended
for
adoption
by
show
committees:--1.
Not
exceeding
7
lb.
(Pomeranian
Miniatures).
2.
Exceeding
7
lb.
(Pomeranians).
3.
Pomeranians
and
Pomeranian
Miniatures
mixed.
