Was the wolf used to make German shepherd?

Yes, the wolf is one of the ancestors of the German Shepherd. The German Shepherd is a relatively new breed of dog, developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Germany. The breed was created by combining several different breeds of herding dogs, including the Thuringian Shepherd, the Wurtemberg Shepherd, and the Alsatian Wolfdog. The Alsatian Wolfdog is a cross between a German Shepherd and a wolf, and it is believed that this breed contributed some of the wolf-like characteristics to the German Shepherd.
