1973 Red Book---#1 Brood Bitch

"The lovely Laurlloy's Admira heads the list for Top Producing bitches in 1973 with two litters sired by G.V. Ch. Lance of Fran-Jo, ROM - totalling thirteen pups, all with great temperament, beautiful breed type, excellent angulation at both ends, with a beautiful side gait. The first litter consisted of Doppelt-Tay's Gringo, Gilda and Gabrielle. Gabrielle won her class and Gilda was Best Female in Futurity in the Northeast Region and went on the complete her championship at an early age and became the 1973 Futurity Victrix and second Select to the Grand Victrix. The ten younger brothers and sisters were shown in the Teenage class. Jigger, Jenean and Jill won their classes and Jessette was second. Jenean went on to win Best Opposite in the Mid-Atlantic Futurity.

Admira is a large boned bitch with excellent substance, good pigment, a full mouth and correct bite. She has a lovely topline and rear-quarter. Her owners, Jesse and Lorraine Clifford feel that she is one of the few Shepherds to have a "correct" front assembly. It is not difficult to imagine that Admira must move very well.

Mira is seven years old and a privileged house dog. She is protective, but always allows the neighborhood children into their home. This is not the case with adults however. They are always inspected first before being allowed to enter.

The saying that a kennel is no better than its bitches is certainly true in Mira's case. The Clifford's obviously love her very much and feel very fortunate to own her. Her bloodlines will continue to flourish in some of today's and tomorrow's great show dogs and producers."
