Bloodline from the book

Alf v. Nordfelsen – Fero v. Zeuterner Himmelreich

From Alf v. Nordfelsen, VA 1 in 1955, to Fero v. Zeuterner Himmelreich, the sire who shaped German working-line breeding.

Chapter VI · pages 39–46

Alf v. Nordfelsen stood for the working and the show line alike. His descendants include Fero v. Zeuterner Himmelreich, whose sons and grandsons once filled a remarkable share of the starting list at the German performance championships. The author follows the line into Slovak breeding and describes what one inbreeding of it produced in his own S-litter Eqidius.

This is a preview. The full text, photographs and bloodline charts are in the book.
