Cited by K. Pearson, Albinism in Dogs & Men [1913] [Lecture on Albinism A]
Description:'Having proved that these pure-bred Dondos formed a breed which would go on with rare exceptions perpetuating itself, we next looked for a type of dog of somewhat the same size, which was in marked contrast for purposes of hybridisation. We chose the pure bred black Pomeranian. It is fairly high from the ground, has a markedly different [9-10] leg shape, a wholly different muzzle, ear, and bark; its psychical characters are wholly different too. Black Poms with the largest amount of black were selected. Olga’s parents were black, her four grandparents, her eight great grandparents, her 16 great-great grandparents and 28 out of her 32 great-great-great grandparents; [30] of the 32 were known and 2 unknown. I would draw your attention to the difference between the muzzle of Olga & the normal Pekingese. The result of caressing the black Pom & the albino Pek is the second type of dog I mention to you tonight, which we term the Pompek.' (ff. 9-10)
