Let me Introduce myself as the President of PCM, a breeder competing in Conformation and true lover of Pomeranians.

Owned my first Black n' Tan pomeranian in the 80's after falling in love with the breed while on a camping trip. Could not resist their personality and nordic appearance. Was my first time seeing Merles & Black n' tan and believe that day lead me to where I am now. Have owned a variety of breeds in my years but once financially able it was the Pomeranian that I began to show and breed.

Brought home my first show dog in 2010, was difficult to find a dog from a show breeder and he may not have any Champions in his pedigree, there is something about him that said he was the one.  Dio (CH. Allstar's Rainbow in the Dark) and I learned many things in the show ring together. He did gain his championship and is the sire behind many of my dogs.  After proving my dedication with him and getting to know breeders I admired I added my next boy Tommy Lee (GCH Carleez Kickstart my Heart) from my friend Carol Leemhuis. He finished so quickly with his amazing structure and movement. The combination of these 2 lines is my foundation for future generations.

My other goal was bred-by and Takara came along and knocked that out of the park on her first day in the ring gaining 10 specialty major points. She is a firecracker in the ring with her look at me attitude.  Her little sister Journey accomplished what I had thought would be a impossible dream.  She is the first bred-by owner handled AKC Grand Champion Merle pom, 6th merle to title.  Gaining her championship with most class dogs defeated and the only one to acquire a 5 point class major.

 AKC has recognized my dedication to health testing & studying the breed by certifying me with Breeder of Merit & Breeder of HEART certification. 

I am available to help mentor those interested in showing Poms. 

    We as a club are dedicated to preserve, protect and educate about the breed that we love.
