| SHIPPING |
| I SHIP MY BABIES THROUGH NORTHWEST AIRLINES FROM LATROBE PA.SHIPPING COST ARE $$325.IF THE BABY HAS TO BE SENT V.I.P THE CHARGE IS $425.ALSO IF YOU REQUIRE THE BABY TO BE SENT TO A SPECIFIC AIRPORT THAT NORTHWEST DOES NOT SERVICE THE BABY WILL NEED TO BE SHIPPED FROM PITTSBURGH PA THIS TOTAL WOULD BE $425. SHIPPING COST INCLUDE AN AIRLINE APPROVED CRATE,A BLANKIE FOR THE CRATE,FOOD AND WATER DISH FOR THE CRATE,A HEALTH CERTIFICATE WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR SHIPPING AND OF COURSE THE AIRLINE COST.ALL SHIPPING COST ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER! IF I DID NOT FEEL SHIPPING WAS SAFE I SIMPLY WOULD NOT SHIP MY BABIES.MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH HAVING A PUPPY SHIPPED TO ME WAS GREAT.OF COURSE I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK,I FELT GUILTY AND WAS JUST SICK IN THE STOMACH WITH WORRY.I WAS SO NERVOUS I WENT TO THE WRONG AREA TO GET MY BABY,AFTER GETTING INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHERE I SHOULD PICK MY BABY UP I WALKED IN AND ASKED FOR MY PUPPY I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT HOW HE WOULD BE,,,NERVOUS?HUNGRY?DEHYDRATED?SICK FROM THE TRIP? I JUST DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT,I WAS SO WORRIED.TO MY SURPRISE HE WAS LOOKING OUT OF THE CRATE DOOR WAGGING HIS TAIL! WHEN I OPENED UP THE CRATE HE CAME RIGHT OUT AND STARTED TO PLAY!I SAID 'WHY YOU LITTLE STINKER I HAVE BEEN FEELING GUILTY AND BEEN SO SICK OVER THIS AND HERE YOU ARE JUST PLAYING WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD!'...LOL...EVERY PUPPY I HAVE RECEIVED HAS BEEN A GOOD EXPERIENCE WHICH OF COURSE IM VERY HAPPY ABOUT.IF I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME WAS IN THE END I WOULD NOT SHIP MY BABIES BUT I SEE THAT THEY DO JUST FINE.THEY SLEEP OR PLAY IN THE CRATE UNTIL THEY ARE PICKED UP AND KISSED BY THEIR NEW OWNER..IF GETTING YOUR BABY SHIPPED I DO RECOMMEND TAKING BABY WIPES TO THE AIRPORT WITH YOU INCASE THE HE/SHE GOES POTTY IN HIS/HER CRATE.I DO LOAD THEM UP WITH FOOD BEFORE THEY GO ;) |
| WHEN WILL MY PUPPY BE READY TO GO HOME?.. |
| MOST PUPS ARE READY TO GO TO THEIR NEW HOMES AT 8 WEEKS OF AGE.SOME (TINY BABIES)ARE NOT READY UNTIL 9-12 WEEKS,DEPENDING ON SIZE,HOW WELL THEY ARE EATING,HOW WELL THEY DID WITH WEANING,HOW THEY ARE DEALING WITH BEING AWAY FROM MOM AND HOW WELL THEY ARE ADJUSTING TO BEING WITH A FAMILY.I KNOW EVERYONE IS EXCITED ABOUT GETTING THEIR NEW BABY HOME BUT PLEASE REMEMBER THE BREEDER KNOWS BEST,PLEASE BE PATIENT AND DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR NEW BABY.I WILL LET YOU KNOW AT LEAST A WEEK IN ADVANCE THAT YOUR BABY IS READY TO GO.PUPS MUST BE PICKED UP WHEN THEY ARE READY TO GO UNLESS PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE. |

| SHOW/BREEDING OR PET QUALITY? |
| MY POMS ARE OF EXCELLENT QUALITY,I HAVE HAD THEM SHIPPED IN FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.I NOT ONLY LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF THEIR PARENTS BUT AT THEIR HEALTH AND TEMPERAMENT AS WELL.I LOVE HUGE COAT AND TEDDYBEAR FACES.ALTHOUGH SEVERAL OF MY PUPS ARE SHOW/BREEDING POTENTIAL I PREFER TO PLACE THEM IN PETHOMES TO BE LOVED AND SPOILED.I HAVE PLACED A FEW IN SHOW AND BREEDING HOMES BUT ONLY TO APPROVED SMALL HOBBY BREEDERS.I WILL NOT SELL TO LARGE BREEDERS,BACKYARD BREEDERS OR PUPPY MILLS!! ALL PUPS ARE PLACED AS PETS UNLESS DISCUSSED BEFORE DEPOSIT IS MADE.ALL PRICES LISTED ARE PET PRICES.PUPS BEING PLACED AS SHOW/BREEDING PROSPECTS WILL HAVE AN INCREASE IN PRICE.ALL PUPS BEING SOLD WITH FULL REGISTRATION WILL HAVE MY KENNEL NAME AS THE PREFIX FOR THEIR REGISTRATION NAME.NOT ALL PUPS ARE THE PROPER SIZE FOR BREEDING SO PLEASE ASK FIRST IF INTERESTED IN BREEDING RIGHTS.I WILL ALSO NEED VET REFERENCES IF INTERESTED IN BREEDING RIGHTS.ALL OTHERS WILL BE SOLD AS FANCY PETS WITH LIMITED REGISTRATION OR CKC REGISTRATION. |
| WHAT SIZE WILL MY PUPPY BE AS AN ADULT? |
| A GOOD ESTIMATE IS BETWEEN THE PARENTS SIZE,IF MOM IS 6 POUNDS AND DAD IS 4 POUNDS MOST LIKELY THE PUPPY WILL BE 5 POUNDS AS AN ADULT.SOMETIMES I GET WEE TINY BABIES THAT END UP AT 2-3 POUNDS AS ADULTS.NORMALLY I CAN TELL FROM BIRTHWEIGHT - 1 WEEK IF THE BABY IS GOING TO BE TINY.I REFER TO MY TINY BABIES AS 'POCKET POMS'. |
| WHEN COMING TO GET YOUR NEW BABY.. |
| WHEN YOUR BABY IS READY TO GO HOME WE WILL SCHEDULE A TIME THAT IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE.PLEASE BE ON TIME,I AM NORMALLY HOME BUT I TRY TO GET MY TWIN DAUGHTERS TO NAP RIGHT AROUND THE TIME IM EXPECTING YOU.IF WEATHER PERMITS I WILL HAVE MOM AND DAD OUT IN THE BACKYARD FOR YOU TO SEE.NO ONE IS PERMITTED IN THE KENNEL,NO EXCEPTIONS!!!DISEASE IS EASILY SPREAD IN DOGS,YOU CAN PICK UP PARVO,KENNEL COUGH,DISTEMPER AND MANY OTHER DISEASES JUST BY WALKING DOWN A SIDEWALK THAT AN INFECTED ANIMAL HAS BEEN ON,YOU CAN PICK IT UP IN A PETSTORE,VETS OFFICE OR EVEN IN A PARK AND CARRY IT ON YOUR SHOES,CLOTHING AND HANDS AND SPREAD THE DISEASE WITHOUT KNOWING IT.I SIMPLY CANNOT PUT MY BABIES AT RISK.I ASK THAT YOU ONLY HOLD THE BABY YOU WILL BE TAKING WITH YOU.IF I HAVE OTHERS IN THE PLAY AREA YOU ARE WELCOME TO LOOK AT THEM BUT PLEASE DO NOT BE PICKING THEM UP.IM SORRY TO BE SO PROTECTIVE BUT I DO EVERYTHING I CAN FOR THE HEALTH OF MY POMS. |
| HOUSEBREAKING.. |
| A VERY POPULAR WAY OF HOUSE BREAKING IS LITTER BOX TRAINING,YOU CAN EITHER PUT NEWSPAPER IN A LITTER BOX OR USE THE PUPPY LITTER.YOU TRAIN THEM TO GO POTTY IN THE LITTER BOX JUST AS YOU WOULD TEACH HIM TO GO POTTY ON NEWSPAPER.THE METHOD I PREFER TEACHING THEM IS TO GO POTTY OUTSIDE.YOU MUST BE CONSISTENT, THAT IS THE KEY TO TRAINING YOUR BABY WITHIN A FEW WEEKS.I RECOMMEND BUYING AN X-PEN,THESE ARE VERY POPULAR AT SHOWS,MOST PET STORES SELL THEM.THEY ARE ALSO GREAT FOR YOUR PUPPY TO PLAY IN OUTDOORS WHEN WEATHER PERMITS.IF YOU ARE POTTY TRAINING OUTSIDE YOU SIMPLY PUT YOUR BABY IN THE X-PEN SO HE SHE DOES NOT RUN OFF AND PLAY OR SIT AND CHEW ON YOUR SHOE LACES,HE/SHE WILL BE BORED IN THE X-PEN AND GET RIGHT TO BUSINESS WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. |
| WHAT IF THINGS DO NOT WORK OUT WITH MY NEW PUPPY? |
| IF FOR ANY REASON AT ANYTIME YOU ARE UNABLE TO KEEP THE POM YOU GOT PLEASE CONTACT ME,I WILL ALWAYS TAKE HIM/HER BACK.I DO NOT WANT MY BABIES ENDING UP IN PUPPYMILLS,SHELTERS OR WITH BACKYARD BREEDERS OR A HOME NOT SUITABLE FOR A POMERANIAN. |
| I HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOSE WHERE MY BABIES GO,I ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE A SALE TO ANYONE I AM NOT COMFORTABLE PLACING MY BABIES WITH. |
| PLEASE NOTE*** IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GET 'QUIET TIME' TO SPEAK ON THE PHONE.I HAVE TWIN DAUGHTERS WHO ARE 4 YEARS OLD AND A 6 YEAR OLD SO SPEAKING ON THE PHONE WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS IS RARE FOR ME..LOL...I MUCH RATHER YOU EMAIL.I AM ABLE TO ADDRESS QUESTIONS BY EMAIL WHILE WATCHING THE CHILDREN IN THE PLAYROOM,FAMILY ROOM OR EVEN WHILE THEY ARE IN THE BATHTUB.IF NEED BE I CAN STOP MY EMAIL AND RESUME ONCE THE KIDS ARE CARED FOR.SO PLEASE EMAIL RATHER THAN CALL.I KNOW IT IS HARD FINDING A REPUTABLE BREEDER ONLINE.IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS TO THE CARE OR CLEANLINESS OF MY POMS OR FACILITIES FEEL FREE TO CALL THE WESTMORELAND COUNTY DOG WARDED(BRUCE MINICK) OR DR JOE,MY VETERINARIAN AT LATROBE ANIMAL CLINIC.I DO HAVE A CHILDCARE PROVIDER COME OUT SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK BUT I SPEND THAT TIME EITHER IN THE KENNEL,(SANITIZING,GROOMING,ETC...)OR GOING TO THE VETS OFFICE,GOING FOR GROCERIES,DOGFOOD ETC...)I NORMALLY TALK TO NEW OWNERS AT SOME POINT BEFORE THEY GET THEIR BABY AND NORMALLY AFTER BUT PLEASE FOR ALL INITIAL CONTACTS PLEASE EMAIL.I GET SEVERAL EMAILS A DAY WITH GENERAL QUESTIONS.I NORMALLY GET BACK TO THE EMAILS THE SAME DAY..THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING WHILE MY CHILDREN ARE IN THEIR 'NOISY STAGE'.... |

| KENNEL VISITS |
| WE DO NOT PERMIT ANYONE INSIDE THE KENNEL AREA.I HAVE MOTHERS WITH BABIES THAT MAY REACT IN NERVOUS WAYS. ALSO I DO NOT PERMIT ANYONE IN THE KENNEL AREA DUE TO HEALTH REASONS.YOU CAN INFECT AN ENTIRE KENNEL JUST BY WALKING THROUGH A PETSTORE OR PARK AND PICKING SOMETHING UP ON YOUR CLOTHING OR SHOES AND WALKING INTO A KENNEL.I AM VERY PROTECTIVE OF MY BABIES AND BECAUSE OF THIS I AM VERY PLEASED TO SAY WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY DISEASE IN OUR KENNEL.THANK GOODNESS! PUPS CAN HAVE VISITORS ONCE THAY ARE 8 WEEKS OF AGE,I DO NOT PERMIT VISITS UNTIL 8 WEEKS OF AGE BECAUSE I WANT MY BABIES TO HAVE THEIR VACCINES AT LEAST 1 WEEK BEFOR HAVING VISTORS. |
| HOW ARE MY POMS PERSONALITIES? |
| I CAN HONESTLY SAY ALL OF MY POMS ARE HAPPY,HEALTHY AND HAVE GREAT PERSONALITIES.I DO NOT KEEP POMS IN MY BREEDING PROGRAM IF THEY HAVE BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS.I DO NOT KEEP SHY OR UNHAPPY POMS IN MY BREEDING PROGRAM AS I FEEL THEY NEED A SPECIAL HOME WITH ONE ON ONE LOVE AND ATTENTION.I ALSO DO NOT KEEP ANY POM IN MY BREEDING PROGRAM IF THEY ARE OVERLY ACTIVE,OF COURSE ALL POMS PLAY AND JUMP AROUND BUT IF THEY ARE LOUD AND OVERLY ACTIVE I WILL NOT KEEP THEM IN MY BREEDING PROGRAM-THEY ARE PLACED AS PETS WITH A FAMILY THAT IS LOOKING FOR A VERY ACTIVE POM. |
| WHY DO YOUR PRICES VARY SO MUCH? |
| IM ASKED THIS QUESTION ALOT.I BASE MY PRICES ON SIZE,SEX,COLOR,COAT,HEAD,FACE,PEDIGREE,PARENTS AND PERSONALITY. |
| WHY ARE YOUR POMS SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE COMPARED TO ALOT OF OTHER POMS? |
| ANOTHER QUESTION IM ASKED ALOT...MY POMS OBVIOUSLY CAUGHT YOUR EYE FOR A REASON...IT IS THAT REASON I ASK THE PRICES I DO ON MY BABIES.EXCELLANT HEALTH,HAPPY SOCIALIZED FURKIDS,HUGE COATS,ADORABLE TEDDYBEAR FACES....I HAVE TRIED VERY HARD TO OBTAIN HEALTHY,GORGEOUS,PROPERLY SIZED,HEAVY COATED,TEDDYBEAR FACED POMS WITH GREAT COLOR AND GREAT PEDIGREES BEHIND THEM.I AM SO VERY PROUD OF MY POMS.I KEEP ONLY THE BEST IN MY BREEDING PROGRAM.I DO NOT KEEP POMS IN MY BREEDING PROGRAM IF THEY ARE BARKERS OR IF THEY HAVE ANY BEHAVIOR ISSUES.I ALSO DO NOT KEEP A POM IN M Y BREEDING PROGRAM IF HE/SHE HAS ANY HEALTH ISSUES.I PUT ALOT INTO MY KENNEL AND MY POMS CARE.THE KENNEL IS HEATED TO 75 DEGREES DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AND COOLED TO 72 DEGREES DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.I DO NOT FEED 'CHEAP FOOD',MY DOGS GET QUALITY FEED(MEAT BASED ONLY-NO CORN-CORN IS FOR COWS!),QUALITY VET CARE,VITAMINS,TOYS,BLANKETS,MONTHLY OINTMENT TO PREVENT PARASITES.I ALSO PAY MY SISTER VERY WELL TO COME OUT TO THE KENNEL 3-4 HOURS EACH DAY TO HELP WITH GROOMING,PUPPY CARE,SANITIZING ETC.MY SISTER LOVES THE DOGS AS MUCH AS I DO,I SIMPLY WOULDNT TRUST ANYONE ELSE WITH MY BABIES!SURE YOU CAN OPEN YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER TO FIND SEVERAL POMERANIAN PUPPY LISTINGS AT $300-$500.YOU CAN ALSO LOOK ON SEVERAL WEBSITES TO FIND A FURBABY PRICED AT ONLY $300,IF THATS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THATS GREAT, YOU FOUND A BABY AT A BARGAIN PRICE BUT IF YOU HAVE A CERTAIN LOOK IN MIND IT WILL BE A TASK FINDING THE QUALITY YOUR LOOKING FOR AT $300. JUST AS HOUSES ON THE MARKET VARY,SOME ARE $60,000 OTHERS ARE $900,000...SOME CARS ARE $20,000 WHILE OTHERS ARE $85,000....ITS ALL IN WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR... |
| WHAT SHOULD I FEED MY BABY? |
| PLEASE READ OVER THE HYPOGLYCEMIA PAGE FOR FEEDING ROUTINE...WE FEED INNOVA CANNED PUPPY FOOD,BEEF BABYFOOD,BOILED BURGER AND RICE,BOILED CHICKEN AND RICE,DANNON PLAIN YOGURT,TASTE OF THE WILD(DRY FOOD) AND ALWAYS GIVE NUTRICAL. |
| PARASITES/COCCIDIA |
| WE TREAT ALL PUPPIES FOR WORMS BEGINNING AT 4 WEEKS OF AGE.WE DO NOT TREAT FOR FLEAS AS OUR ADULTS DO NOT HAVE FLEAS(THANK GOODNESS!)IF THERE WERE A WAY TO ELIMINATE WORMS THE WAY FLEAS CAN BE ELIMINATED BELIEVE ME THEY WOULD BE GONE! UNFORTUNATELY ALL DOGS HAVE WORMS AT SOME TIME IN THEIR LIFE.A GOOD WORMING ROUTINE IS A MUST.WE WORM WITH IVOMEC MONTHLY (TOPICAL OINTMENT PUT BETWEEN THE SHOULDERS) WE ALSO WORM WITH PANACUR EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR 5 DAYS.THIS ROUTINE HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.I RECOMMEND A PUPPY WORMER SUCH AS EVICT OR NEMEX 2 FOR THE FIRST FEW MONTHS.USE WORMER AS DIRECTED.COCCIDIA IS AN "OPPORTUNIST PROTOZOA" THAT LIVES IN THE BOWELS OF ALL DOGS.ALL DOGS CARRY COCCIDIA BUT SOMETHING HAS GOT TO WEAKEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM OF AN ANIMAL FOR THE PROTOZOA TO HAVE AN OPPERTUNITY TO TAKE HOLD AND START MULTIPLYING.THAT "SOMETHING" IS STRESS OF ONE KIND OR ANOTHER.COCCIDIA IS USUALLY ACCOMPANIED BY A LOOSE,STINKY STOOL THAT CAN HAVE STREAKS OF BLOODY MUCUS IN IT.SOME VETS WILL EXPLAIN COCCIDIA TO THEIR CLIENTS BY SAYING THE ANIMAL IS LOADED WITH PARASITES.THIS IS SOMETIMES INTEREPRETED BY THAT CLIENT THAT THE ANIMAL HAS WORMS.COCCIDIA IS NOT EXACTLY A PARASITE BUT CAN BE JUST AS HARD TO GET RID OF.A DAILY SUPPLY OF YOGURT PREVENTS COCCIDIA FROM GETTING A FOOT HOLD AS IT KEEPS A GOOD BALANCE OF BACTERIA IN THE G.I. TRACT.SO LONG AS GOOD BACTERIA EXISTS IN AN AMPLE SUPPLYIN THE GUT,COCCIDIA CAN NOT GROW.COCCIDIA IS SHED IN THE STOOL LIKE A VIRUS.IF THE ANIMAL IS NOT SHEDDING IT WHEN A STOOL SAMPLE IS TAKEN,THE ANIMAL CAN BE MISDIAGNOSED AS BEING FREE OF THE PROTOZOA.IF YOUR PUPPY IS PUT ON ANTIBIOTICS OF ANY SORT,FEED YOGURT TO REPLENISH THE GOOD BACTERIA THAT IS KILLED OFF BY THE ANTIBIOTIC.IT WILL IN NO WAY AFFECT THE ANTIBIOTIC FROM COMPLETEING IT'S JOB BUT MAY SAVE YOUR ANIMAL FROM SECONDARY INFECTIONS CAUSED BY AN IMBALANCE OF GOOD BACTERIA.COCCIDIA SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO PROGRESS TO A POINT THAT THE PUPPY'S LIFE IS THREATENED.IF YOUR PUPPY SHOWS SIGNS OF COCCIDIA,IMMEDIATELY SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE AND TREATMENT.TREATMENT IS A VERY LOW PRICED LIQUID MEDICATION CALLED ALBON,NORMAL COST IS ABOUT $10 FOR A 7-10 DAY SUPPLY.TREATMENT IS NORMALLY 7-10 DAYS. |
