The Bohemian Shepherd dog breed originated in the Czech Republic around the 1300s in the Chodsko region, hence why these dogs were commonly called the Chodský pes. They were first used as guard dogs and as herding dogs. Today, they make great family pets who will protect and watch over their humans.
Other names this dog goes by include Bohemian Herder, Czech Sheepdog, and Chodenhund. Although these are purebred dogs, you may still find them in shelters and rescues. Remember to adopt! Don’t shop if this is the breed for you.
