Alfa von Wappen zu Bremen

“This black bitch was bred in Germany and was one of the many winning progeny that established her sire as the leading German stud dog after the war. She won the Bundessieger title at just 16 months of age. The German judge Adler wrote: “a 16 month old bitch with good chest, short strong back, well angulated, stands correctly, with a lot of nobility, beautiful head, very dark eyes, good movement, correct dentition, very good character, tan is dark”. Alfa became very successful in shows. In 1960 she became not only Bundessiegerin but IDC-Siegerin also. She earned her International championship title. The character of this bitch was outstanding. She passed not only her Schutzhund 1 but also the Körung.”
