Zathan is one of the best VA Rikkor von Bad-Boll sons He was bred in Sweden by Annetth Lindskog. Zathan is a beautiful male with a balance of excellent working abilities, great character, correct structure, intense color and strong bone. Zathan was judged excellent select first place at the North American Siegershow in North Carolina in 2004 - by SV Conformation Judge and Koermeister, Herr Erich Orschler. Zathan far outshined all the competition behind him. Herr Orschler was very impressed with Zathan's temperament, structure and movement - and he commented that Zathan is the perfect medium size.

Per the former German Shepherd Dog Club of Germany President, Herr Peter Messeler, Superioue's Zathan is an absolutely outstanding German Shepherd Dog male with a clear head, excellent work ethic and beautiful structure and movement. He is good for improving pigment and overall type of the German Shepherd Dog.

With this cross of Xumi and Zathan we hope to produce puppies with wonderful temperament, sound and beautiful structure - and pups that can fit into any home and pups that grow into dogs that may accommodate any need which may arise.

Cherokee is a very handsome dark sable male who is very social and with excellent temperament and drives for work.

He is owned and will be handled in the upcoming trial season in Germany by SV Working Dog Judge, Peter Jacobs.

With this combination of Cora and Cherokee,we hope to produce puppies that will meet any need - be it that of loving lifelong companion - competition, obedience, agility or schutzhund dog, police dog, guide dog, therapy dog, etc.

The German Shepherd is a very versatile breed and it is our goal to breed dogs that enhance that description. We believe and hope that our Cora/Cherokee pups will do just that.

Many breeders and German Shepherd Dog devotees believe that the Mother of a litter influences the outcome of the puppies temperament by 75%. If this is true, one could not have a more stable and wonderful temperament to influence pups. Nor could they find a female with higher overall drive for anything asked of her....than Cora beim Steinrussel.

Cora was one of the youngest dogs in the 2003 Nationals and North American SchH 3 and FH Championships. She competed successfully at both. Recently she received her FH 2 title.....and even more recently she won the South Central Region FH Championship. You may read more about Cora on our website under the caption *Adrian and Cora.*

Tarzan is a son of the famous Yoschy von der Döllenwiese SchH3, KKl1. He is a very dark black and brown German Shepherd Dog with pronounced masculinity. He is balanced in his personality and drives, in that he is both social and friendly but also protective when the need arises. Tarzan has superb energy and willingness to work and is producing pups that are not only wonderful family companions but are also outstanding on the schutzhund field as well as other areas of utilitarian work for which the German Shepherd Dog was originally intended.

In combining the bloodlines and personalities of Bixie and Tarzan, we hope to produce dogs that will fit into any situation - be it loving family pet and companion or schutzhund sport dog - and dogs that will fit whatever need arises.

Bixie (Bicca) is a dark sable female with superb temperament, high energy and high drives.

Bixie has a *zest for life* as referred to by Max von Stephanitz and is a totally utilitarian dog. Bixie has never met a person nor another animal she did not like. Bixie's brother is a police dog in Minnesota. Pups from Bixie's last litters are in family homes, guide dog homes, search and rescue homes, agility homes, competitive obedience homes, schutzhund homes, and everyone is very very pleased with their Bixie pups.

Bixie's lineage boasts the famous 'I' litter Lindenhalle as well as the 'E' litter Windachquell.  From the progeny of the 'E' litter Windachquell have come impressive numbers of competitive working dogs in the Bundesseiger Prufung and The World Championships including Bixie's grandfather V - Ingo vom Windachquell, SchH 3, IPO 2, FH, CDX, TDX.

Ingo was a successful World Championship competitor with Rita in St. Galen, Switzerland, in 1987. They had the highest protection score of any North American team that passed all phases. Bixie's grandmother Dixie was the highest placing V born in America in the first Siegershow in America.

Bixie's great grandfathers were Happy von der Boesen Nachbarschaft and Mink vom Haus Witfield.  Happy and Rita successfully competed in two World Championships.  They placed 9th in the World in Padova, Italy, and held the high score from North America from 1984 to 1990.
