Down Carolina way, just within the city
limits of the little town of Pineville, N.C.,
the Great Elms Kennels, home of beautiful
pomeranians, over-looks a main highway
going South. At the kennels there is a full
acre of ground for exercise. And, in case of
bad weather, there is a wire, 35-ft. porch
where dogs can be trained or exercised.
The owner of this kennel is one of the
nicest persons I've ever met -Mrs. Ruth
Lowry Beam, Ruth, loved by all who
know her, and with her sincere interest
in all who are trying to breed better
poms, is truly a person one values as a
friend. She is fair in her dealings with
others and her kind understanding and
cheerful encouragement make many
novice breeders into enthusiastic
exhibitors.
Great Elms Kennels offers at stud three
great champions. Ch. Great Elms Little
Timstopper. "Timmy," is sire of 12
champions, the latest being Ch. Scott's
Little Top Man. Ch. Great Elms Tim- sun,
son of Timmy, has 17 BB and 5 group firsts
to his credit. And finally,
there is Ch. Great Elms Sir Richard.
There are also champion matrons
producing champions. Other matrons
are of championship caliber. One,
Dixieland's Gay Linda, is the answer to
a breeder's prayer. Bred first when 10
months old, she has since never failed to
have puppies when bred and has
produced five champions!
When a matron is sent to Mrs. Beam for
breeding, she meets her in a matter of
minutes after arrival in Charlotte, N.C.
All visiting matrons are kept in the
house and receive special attention to
prevent homesickness. After two, and
sometimes three, breedings, the poms
are returned to their owners by the
shortest possible route.
Mrs. Beam started with poms in 1937,
using as a background Aristic and
Dixieland breeding. She has, herself,
