Furioso II was imported in 1968 to Germany by George Vorwerk, a legendary breeder of Oldenburg horses. His dam, Dame de Renville, produced several great horses, including Mexico, Laeken, Jexico de Parc and Heur de Bratand.

During his lifetime, the stallion produced over 200 state premium mares and 68 approved sons, including:
