Xira vom Norden Stamm

“This black bitch bred in Norway was imported by the von Frankenland Kennel of Mr. L. Schellman. Xira was the result of a line breeding on Bryan von Forell over her sire Guys Hilo and her grandmother Guys Heidi, who was the dam of Giri (sire of her was Zar von Forell). Xira was a harmonious and attractive bitch that was greatly praised for her beautiful head type. She was also noted for her fiery character. Xira made her ZTP and SchH I with top notes and also passed the Körung. She proved so fearless that she was pressed into duty as a Körung test dog. Her owner believed that it was as a result of the injuries she received at this job that caused her death soon after.
She produced excellent progeny like the corner stone of the von Frankenland kennel Castra von Frankenland, which made her the grandmother of the two Frankenlands stars, Gwendy and Yemby von Frankenland.”
