May 2016 Championship Show

May 2016 Championship Show


The Scottish Pomeranian Club held its Championship Show in May 2016 at Lanark.  The judge was Fredrik Nillson and his critique is as follows:

First I want to thanks the Scottish Pomeranian club to invite me to judge. It was a great honour! Many know that I really appreciate the Poms in The UK, for me this is the correct breed type. I was happy to see many exhibits of this type. But I am a bit worried about some things, most of all regarding the coat. I really hope that the breeders in UK will start to protect their unique lines, to save the type and most important to be really careful to not get in the wrong coats. We have seen this happen in my country, and for many years we have had big problems with the coats and still see the problems, even though it is now better. Many of the breeders in Sweden have gone back to the English bloodlines, and by doing so we have seen an improvement with much better coats and less coat problems. I really hope that breeders in the UK Will start to think about this and take problems with coat more seriously!
