I knew a Cliff son, the sire of my Cliff grandson, and this Cliff son, Herzog vom Blitzstrahl, was one of the finest dogs I have ever had the luck to know, in sheer worklust, drive and power. Yet as great as Herzog was, his son, Cohen vom Adler Stein, is better while maintaining the same qualities that made Cliff and Herzog great dogs. He produced top working qualities time after time as well as true German Shepherd character.........vigilance, protectivness, nerves of solid steel, super with family, the whole enchilada. This dog has it all, and it is too bad he is 9 years old......but I am lucky to have owned him, he is a once in a lifetime dog, and I say that being no fan of "showlines" But Cliff was a working dog, he proved it and he passed it on to his son Nastor, obviously, but even better when bred into working lines, such as the case with Herzog. Cohen is Cliff bred into old and very high quality West and East working, which was the best place to preserve those working qualities, since the show line breeders did not do so. My Cohen is my constant companion and he is still cranking out his sons and daughters for now so I will keep feeling blessed.

are there any direct cliff offsprings alive today???? I would like to buy something out of one of cliffs' children. royalvalley@tstt.net.tt

Thank you Sue.

Cliff passed away a few years ago. Randy Tyson owned him (Calif). Same Randy Tyson that owned Mink vh Wittfield when he was young and titled him to a SCH3.

Great Dog. Will someone pls give me the owners Email id.

The greatest working show dog ever. Cliff was vice BSP in'89. He has been in the top ten of the German schutzhund national many times. The only 100% show dog who has defeated hundreds of working lines. I doubt if Cliff's achievement will ever be duplicated by any show dog. His two sons did very well as well in subsequent BSP.
