Quote:
It is mentioned von Stephanitz did not "created" the breed all by himself,
but inherited some of his process from the Phylax "network". What is the
Phylax network, and how is it related to von Stephanitz and the GSD.

1) Phylax von Eulan is one of the GSD used for breeding. And he was a
wolfdog.
2) Otto Rahm researched the head (skull) of Hektor von Wohlen and prof.dr.Th
Struder find there clear features of a wolf. Rahm asked Stephanitz for the
parents of Hektor and the answer was: one of the great-grandmothers (called
"Mores Plieningen") was a wolfdog (wolf x shepherd-dog).
3) Try to look for info about A Heim. He wrote that in the years 1870-1900
there was a lot wolf x GSD crossing showed on the dog shows as "real" GSDs
and used for breeding.... Usually they were highly valued than "normal"
GSDs....
