GSDC of America---1973---American Bred
Dog
1979 Register of Merit Sire
1984 Red Book
"Marty was a member of a three champion litter which also included Ch.
Monty v. Bid-Scono, Ch. Mylanta v. Bid-Scono and Margo v. Bid-Scono, the
1973 Midwest Futurity and 1974 Midwest Maturity winner. Aloha died tragically
while Marty was still a young puppy. The "M" litter was to be her only
litter."
"Marty began his show career in 1973 by winning his Futurity class
under Ernest Loeb. He was not an early maturing youngster and was not
shown again until the Fall of 1974. He began his adult career by winning
the American Bred Class at the 1974 National under Ralph Roberts. He finished
his championship in April, 1975 with five wins at large specialties."
"Marty is a large male with beautiful type. He has
a magnificent head with dark eyes, full dentition and correct bite. He
is a dark black and red tan and carries a full working type coat. He is
high withered, iron backed with a long sloping croup and very powerful
hindquarter. He has excellent feet and black nails. Most important to
us, however, Mary has a completely sound character. He is dry, hard and
very agile. These are characteristics we have tried to stress in our breeding
program."
"At 13 1/2 years of age, Marty is still a healthy, happy German Shepherd
Dog. He enjoys his ball, his romps, his biscuits and most of all his people.
His eyes are not as bright but they still shine with devotion. His gait
is not as powerful, but the will to do all we ask of him is as strong
as ever. After all these years, the glory of the show ring has faded as
it always does. What Mary represents to us will never fade. He is all
the Bid-Scono has cherished in the German Shepherd Dog. We enjoy him while
we may."
