Breed report
"Horand embodied for the enthusiasts of that time the fulfillment of their fondest dreams. He was big for that period, between 24" and 24 1/2", even for the present day a good medium size, with powerful frame, beautiful lines, and a nobly formed head. Clean and sinewy in build, the entire dog was one live wire. His character was on a par with his exterior qualities; marvelous in his obedient fidelity to his master, and above all else, the straightforward nature of a gentleman with a boundless zest for living. Although untrained in puppy hood, nevertheless obedient to the slightest nod when at this master's side; but when left to himself, the maddest rascal, the wildest ruffian and incorrigible provoker of strife. Never idle, always on the go; well disposed to harmless people, but no cringer, mad about children and always in love. What could not have been the accomplishments of such a dog if we, at that time, had only had military or police service training? His faults were the failings of his upbringing, never of his stock. He suffered from a superfluity of unemployed energy, for he was in Heaven when someone was occupied with him and was then the most tractable of dog."

(S.V. 1) V Horand von Grafrath (Hektor Linksrhein) sired many great dogs as you can readily imagine, but the most important of his get was 1900/01 SGR Hektor von Schwaben. Hektor in turn sired V Beowulf (Sonnenberg), Heinz von Starkenburg, and Pilot III. V Beowulf (Sonnenberg) and Pilot SZ111 were brothers out of Thekla I von der Krone, who was by V Horand von Grafrath (Hektor Linksrhein). These Three Sons of 1900/01 SGR Hektor von Schwaben were the great triumvirate which bore the fruit of the master breeder's seed.

If I am doing it correctly, I can trace my current GSD bloodlines back to this boy.

Horand/Hektor isn't the 1st GS, only the 1st registered. If you look at his pedigree, you'll see his ancestors as well as other earlier ancestors of the breed were back-registered then in low numbers.

But I wonder how Horrand produces black colors and saddle and eventually our infamous red and black.
Over a hundred years that changed. I wonder what will change over this century.
