Dear Evie, Hard to find a show pom here, yes but that's why I want to start a group that meets to learn about the breed. As for breeding poms that's not something to do with a pom who is not purebred with registration and who meets the breed standard as closely as possible. Do you know about the breed standard? In other countries poms are called the heartbreak breed because they are difficult to breed. If you are lucky then you only lost the pups and not the mother dog. So many things to know and share about poms. Right now I have 3 different puppies coming from 3 different breeders 2 in the US and one from Sweden. I am very excited and hope to be showing them next year. As for the hair loss, it is natural for the bitch to loose a lot of hair after the puppies. Keep her clean while weening, after they are weened brush her completely but gently to remove all loose hair. It takes months before the hair returns. She will also blow her coat approxmately 4 months after each season. This is the case with my Fina girl right now, of course she'll be in the show this Sunday, oh well, that's the breaks. Come to the show this Sunday to see KL's show poms there may be more than you think here in Malaysia. Contact MKA for show details. There is much discussion on how often to bath a pom. I don't bath mine more than once a month but they are mostly inside the house. Other pom breeder friends of mine bath them every week. Either way, brush them completely before bathing, tangles only get worst after they get wet. I blow dry my girls with medium heat blowdryer, held away from the body, until they are almost completely dry. Always comb hair backwards from the direction it grows. This would be a fantastic first meeting, grooming basics!!! Before I sign off I want to say that I adore this website and it's tops for getting things started and getting dog lovers together. Let's take it to the next step.
