Many people think Mike was a Bernd son. He was a Bernd grandson. He was 3 times Nordrack and 1 time Bernd .I am sure you know that better than anyone though. That is something people might be interested to know. That Mike and Lance both came down from the Arbywood "F" litter. But It was Brend that stamped the type . And it was Fritz/ Nordrack that produced the iron backs and coorinated suspended movement.---Bob Freeny Santanagsd1954@xxxxxx wrote: >You are right Barb about the town of Yoncalla,BUT!!

As you know so well, these German Shepherds have been My Life... I recall so many of them , as clearly as if they were standing in front of me.. I recall Ch. Fritz of Maryden, that you talked of, behind Mike, as Doyle, handled him to his Championship.. We could always depend on Ch. Noordraak of Matterhorn ROM, his Sons and Daughters, most of the time, , to Bring on those Strong backs!! I guess I am probably boring others, so i won't continue, but before I go, just have to mention two of My All-Time Favorites sired by Noordraak...Ch. Bismarck von Graustein!!! and my Ch. Santana's Swaps...Noordraak consistently helped in giving the high wither without sacrificng the layback of the shoulder blades!!! Rare today...Best!!
