Marvin was known as a 4 x Winner and some say that he also was good at weight pulling too. In his 5th match Marvin lost to a dog called Rocky, who was out of pure show lines. Rocky later on became a Gr. Ch after beating a dog called Bomber in 1 hour and 10 minutes. Marvin's matches against Susie and Rocky were reported as below.

Winner: Northford Ruby 17 minutes

Marvin's sister Ruby was  mated to Northford Jonah, who was her half brother and produced a 2 x Winner called Hagler II and his litter brother Northford Whitey. She was also put to Dock's Gr. Ch Duke producing McGill's Buster and Sahlen's Victor. Victor was sent to Sweden and there have been some stories about Victor being used for Elk hunting in Sweden, but that is in my opinion pure bullshit. When Victor was put across a bitch called Charlotte she produced Daisy which in turn produced a 1 x Winner named Fearless Jim, who went 2,5 Kilo's uphill against J.H.'s Red strain dog "Big Red" and won in 17 minutes. Jim was game tested prior to the match against a imported APBT from Ed Reid's Skipper ROM and went 6,5 Kilo's uphill before he was finally picked up more or less dead, but game at 29 minutes. Jim was put across a daughter of McGill's Buster, Bayfarm's Red Ant, who was originally bought by a kennel in Sweden and was given as a gift to Eastford Kennels where she was renamed to Eastford's Sally.

Eastford's Sally was said to be a very good bitch, but unfortunately the first owner wanted her back since she was tested. She was given back on one condition, that she should be bred with Sahlen's Victor and the deal was made and hands were shaken, but the original owner for no obvious reason put the Sally bitch to sleep soon after.  Sally was said to be an above average game bitch with a hard bite. Her 2 first rolls were against APBT's were she did well, and then she was rolled with different Staffords before she was game tested. She was matched against an APBT, a Jeep/Tonka bitch at 14,5 kilos and were locked to the Jeep bitch with a nose hold and was in the lead when she was picked up at 25 since she went into shock.

She was put to the Jim dog and she had a litter of nine, but the four females in the litter died when they were born, leaving Eastford kennels with 5 males. Three of the males from that litter were tested and out of those three, Chico and Balder were rolled at the age of 8 months old and went for 27 minutes before both were picked up and Spock was very promising, but unfortunately got an illness and had to be put to sleep.
