Welcome to Evensong Pomeranians!.  My husband and I live in St. Helens, Oregon, amidst the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.  I'm a retired Longshorewoman, and Kevin owns a printing and supply business.   On weekends you can usually find us at a dog show or just hanging out on our ten acres.  We have four children, Heather, Jenna, Daniel, and Jeff, plus several beautiful Pomeranians.  We also have five wonderful grandchildren, Zachary, Althea, Christian, Brexten, and Bailey.

Pomeranians have been a part of our lives for the past fourteen years.  Our love for this breed started with one dog, a black and tan female, named Baby.  Even though she weighs 15 pounds and isn't registered, her loyalty and love have given her a permanent place in our home and lives. 

The decision to head to the show ring came about when we purchased a blue and tan female from a breeder in Portland.  She did well in her first competition as a young puppy, but she failed to produce a proper coat.  She also had some minor faults that didn't make her an "ideal" candidate for the ring.  Because we were new to the Pom breed, we didn't completely understand her faults.  Poms come in many different varieties, including size, body types, head types, colors, etc., and it took time to learn what type was preferred for showing.

We've learned a great deal about the breed, though, since we started showing, and we are still learning.  Studying the standard, reading pedigrees, listening and talking to other show breeders, attending seminars, and reading articles and books have helped us gain a lot of much needed knowledge about the breed.  This knowledge has helped us become competitive exhibitors in the ring, with our first champion finishing as the No. 6 Pomeranian in the country in 2005.

Our ultimate goal in breeding for the show ring is to achieve the standard of the "ideal" Pomeranian as set forth by the American Pomeranian Club and the American Kennel Club.  We would like to produce Pomeranians that are structurally sound with great movement, heavy double coats, pretty faces, and  great temperaments.  We finished our first champion in 2004, and we started our own bred-by's in 2005.  Our first home-bred champion finished in June of 2006 from the bred-by classes. He also became our first bred-by multi group placer and best in specialty winner.

At this time we only breed two to four litters a year and are not into breeding for monetary rewards.  Our motto is "quality, not quantity."  We will, however, occasionally have an available puppy or adult for sale.  These will generally be the Poms that we feel do not meet the goal we are trying to achieve for our program, but it does not mean that they are not of outstanding quality.  Adults are generally those that are being retired and who are looking for more interaction then we can give them. Please visit our available pages for puppies and or adults.

I, Teresa, am a member of the American Pomeranian Club.  I also volunteer on a couple of committees, the APC Legislative Committee and the APC Breed Advisory Committee.

On a final note, our Pomeranians are some of the most "spoiled" and well-loved dogs in the area!  This will never change, no matter what becomes of our endeavor.  They are well socialized, they travel with us to shows, etc., go to work with Kevin as weather permits, and sleep with us.  Well, they take turns sleeping with us.  :)
