The Bohemian shepherd dog breed came from the Chodosko region in the Czech Republic. Records of these dogs existing started in the 1300s when they were used as guard dogs and herding dogs in the Bohemian Southwestern borders. Nowadays these dogs make excellent pets for families looking for a trusty companion that is loyal and can protect you and your loved ones.
These dogs are sometimes called Chodosky pes but they have also been known to be called the Czech sheepdog or the Bohemian herder. These are purebred dogs however this doesn’t mean that they don’t end up in shelters and rescues so remember to look there first if you are interested in this breed.
Rescue dogs deserve a loving home just as much as Bohemian Shepherd puppies so always remember to adopt first before you shop. The Bohemian Shepherd is a smart dog that loves being around family members. They are great with children and the elderly and will happily soak up all the attention in the house.
Like most dogs, they require a good amount of daily exercise and mental stimulation so if you enjoy long walks and playing fetch this might be the dog breed for you. The work you put into this versatile breed will pay off and leave you with a loyal companion that will listen to your commands and protect your family.
