History of Pom Beach Pomeranians
Jandala's Jill
R.I.P. 2013
My mom and I started into poms in 2008 with our beloved black girl, Jandala's Jill. We didn't really have intentions on bringing Jilly home, as we had gone with plans on bringing home a puppy - but Jilly looked at us and we looked at her and she climbed straight up her pen to come and see us. That hitched it, and Jilly came home.
After a while we decided to look for a boy to breed Jilly to, but we weren't quite ready to have our own stud yet. We already had one neutered male pom, Maestro, whom we had kept as a pet, so with the help of Janet Deleew of Jandala's Pomeranians, we bred her to Miteycute Avalanche (a.k.a. Breezy) and had our first beautiful CKC registered litter. Much to all of our surprise, three out of 4 pups were parti colored. And from there, we kept one sable parti (with sable, black and white) girl who became one of our foundation girls - Pom Beach Cinnamon Splash.
In 2011, I married the love of my life, David. Our dream all along (first with mom, and now also with David), was that we would breed parti colored poms that were competitive enough that we could show them against the orange traditional colored poms. Well, that was easier said than done as they are not easy to find in the size and quality that we wanted. Many of the parti colored dogs in Canada had the inherent issues such as long legs, longer backs and noses and less coat and looked more like their ancestors, the German Spitz than the modern compact fluffy look of what we think of today as a Pomeranian. What is more is that most of the part colored dogs also mature a lot slower, so often while their orange counterpart has gotten their full adult coat in as an older puppy, the partis often don't really get theirs until between 2 and 3 yrs old. The colors such as solid orange, and sable had more extensive selective and line breeding which gave them the look that is sought after and is today's breed standard. This has both pluses and drawbacks. They have more consistency with type, but line breeding carries some dangers particularly with health. We had noticed that the partis we had met and interacted with were often from more open pedigrees and this was partly why they looked more like their ancestors, but we also noticed that as a whole they were more athletic and though the bone appeared finer, it often proved to be stronger. And the intelligence of these little dogs could be nothing short of amazing. Through a careful and long search we added dogs who could help us retain the features of health, while getting that type in to give the dogs that more compact and fluffy look that matches todays breed standard. I guess you could say, we truly had our work cut out for us, as we wanted a great pomeranian, in a colored wrapping.
