1977 Register of Merit Dam

"... a bitch of beautiful type is distantly line bred on the "F" litter Arbywood.  She has one line to the "K" litter Waldesruh and one to Lance.  Her winning progeny are sired by Ch. Eko-Lan's Paladen ROM and are of course heavily though distant line bred on the "F" litter Arbywood.  Her breeder Sandy Ryan and her owners Jack and Helen Newton are most proud of the lovely ROM dam."

~ Connie Beckhardt

"Our most important breeding was Smoketree’s Americana to Ch Eko-Lan’s Paladen which produced Champions Caraland’s Apollo, Alamo, Attila and their sister Apollonia. That one litter gave Americana her ROM. Apollo produced Ch. Caraland’s Clancy – 1978 Futurity Victor and 1979 Maturity Victor and Select."
