With lines back to San Miguel's Baron of Afbor(it's been so long, did I spell that right?) and Alert of Mi-Noah. We also thought he to should have a name appropriate to his German heritage and named him Baron von Eshom(corny, I know). No show dog(no testicles) but 3 years later after completing both a CD and CDX on him we were been bitten by the show bug. We bought a GV Yoncalla's Mike daughter, in 1967 and she became our first Champion and our foundation bitch.
