Next Breed: Bolognese Previous Breed: Boerboel

The Bohemian Shepherd is a breed of dog also known as the Chodsky Pes or the Chodenhund. The Bohemian Shepherd is recognized nationally in the Czech Republic but is not recognized by the FCI or any other major kennel club.

History

 Chodsky pes is an old sheepdog breed. They have been also guarding Czech southern borders and homes in the area. "Chodove", the local people living there, had an exceptional permission to hold large dogs for this purpose. Alois Jirasek, writing about a brave uprising of the local people, even assigned these dogs as a flag symbol of them. Though that is actually incorrect, the symbol became part of national knowledge due to drawings of a well known Czech painter Mikolas Ales. The symbol of the chodsky pes is still on Czech young scouts badges. As the breed of chodsky pes is old, it is possibly also one of the predecessors to the German Shepherd.Chodsky pes is known to exist in the Czech lands as far back as the 1300s, and having been professionally bred as early as the 1500s. A modern breeding program for this dog was started in 1984 and there are now many breeders. About 2000 registered pups have been born since the program started.

Appearance and Size

Chodsky pes is a medium-sized breed. They are 19 to 22 inches in height and weigh about 35-55 lbs. The coat is long and thick with a dense undercoat, colour is black and tan. The ears are erect, small, high-set and pointed. 

Personality
