"Hektor v Schwaben sired 141 progeny from 39 bitches but unlike his father he does seem to have had greater success with Pollux-bred females and also Horand daughters.  He was clearly a better specimen than his sire with better angulations fore and aft than most dogs of the era.  He does seem to have had a rather "dippy" back and his yellow-gray colour cannot have impressed.  He did sire the 1903 Sieger but his main claim to fame lay through his sons Heinz v Starkenburg and the litter brothers Beowulf and Pilot."

~Author Unknown

Hektor von Schwaben most influencial progeny were Beowulf, Hein von Starkenburg and Pilot III.  Beowulf and Pilot III were brothers out of Thekla I von der Krone, who was sired by Horand.  

The three sons of Hektor made their influence felt.  

• Beowulf's value was in the bitches he produced and from him came the line to Geri von Oberklamm and then to Cito Bergerslust and Attilos Argos.
• Pilot III was the grandsire to Graf Eberhard von Hohen-Esp who was the foundation of the "von Boll" and "Kriminalpolizei" lines.  Those in turn branched out to the Reidekenburg and Eichenpark, Harras von der Juch, and Mohr Starkenburg. 
• Heinz was the sire Roland v Starkenburg who in turn sired 1909 Sgr. Hettel Uckermark who in turn produced Alex von Westfalenheim who produced the 1920 Sgr. Erich v Grafenwerth.
