Trying to boost the (capitalized?) white German Shepherd fancy?

I don't recall if it was Greif, but DEFINITELY 1 of the major dogs behind the breed (i.e., ancestor of Horand or so forth) Max mentioned as WHITE. Like it or not. And if the caption itself says the dog pictured may in fact be 1 of Greif's offspring - where does that leave you? THERE WERE WHITE DOGS, as there were long-haired dogs (Russ v d Krone) and many varieties. It's the truth.

And how does having "parents unknown" (that's true of ALL the original dogs; you have to start somewhere), or that the dog wasn't registered, mean the dog was not white?

This is not a photo of Greif (Sparwasser)

The caption of the photo reads

This is a photograph of a White German Shepherd from a German newspaper from 1906. The name of this newspaper is unknown, also is the name of the dog. Looking at the date, there is a real possibility that the dog may be Russian or Greiffa, one of Greif's daughters.

Why is it put under Greif ?????

I dislike History being played around with !!!

Greif was NOT a WHITE DOG
In fact he is stated in the SV Studbook as parents UNKNOWN

Who is the dog pictured ?????


He was not registered and Max V Stephanitz wrote in his book this fact
and there was No Photo in his book

Some one is trying to claim this animal to booster the White Shepherd Fancy.

Please stick to facts
