History shows the females in the "K"
litter vom Norden Stamm have had an enormous impact on the
development of the breed in Europe and elsewhere in the world.
Not only over the last decade but still today recods show
a high proportion of the Sieger and Siegerins have them in
their immediate pedigrees. The 1998 DV Sieger show is one
typical example, with 5 of the 8 Sieger title winners being
either children or grandchildren, and in some instances, great
grandchildren of the "K" litter v. Norden Stamm.
Kastra was a well built "V" rated bitch, with an
excellent shoulder and upper arm angulation. She was dry,
with a beautiful head, long neck and a fiery, combative attitude.
i.e.: she was Sch.H. 3, Angekört, Landesgruppe (State)
Leistungsieger in 1990. She was only sufficiently angulated
in the rear. Her back was long although firm, with a perfect
croup. She had very strong bones, rich colours and dark eyes.
She was slightly low set - short leggedness being a legacy
of both Alva v. Franckenhorst (found on her sire line) and
of Ali v. Langenhorst (on her dam´s side) - a trait
often resurfacing from the Ellendonk dam line behind Ali v.
Langenhorst.
