Well... I'm not 13.. (16 1/2) but I plan to own pomeranians after
college, and show them. The breeding thing would depend upon too many
factors to list. I do however have an unofficial pom mentor who I talk
to for a few hours on the phone every few weeks and I've gone to a show
with her. (I'd go to more, but she finished her Ch. last summer and has
no puppies to show. ANd I don't want to have to find my way on my own
LOL) Showing dogs is a lot of fun, really... I'm on a pomeranian list
and it's great to see how caring the breeders/exhibitors are and how
they enjoy having fun with their dogs (and alot of the dogs love it too!
You should see the "smiles" they have on their faces in those show
pics... the poms anywya... they love showing off.) Alot like gerbil
people actually.
But back to gerbils...
