The Czech German Shepherd has quite an interesting history.
Although the dog was not professionally bred until 1955, its breed began in 1899 in communist Czechoslovakia.
The Czech army had found the dogs to be excellent servants, muscular, and intelligent. They used the Czech German Shepherd as a working dog, mainly patrolling the Czech border for illegals, as the kennel used for breeding these dogs was put under the control of the border control arm of the Czech Army.
The dogs were often bred from East German Shepherds with similar masculinity, intelligence, energy, and dark coloration characteristics, and are beloved in large part because of their loyalty.
The two breeds have very similar bloodlines seeing that they originate from the former Soviet Bloc but they do have differentiating characteristics. Despite this, people often confuse one for the other.
While it is a relatively new breed, the Czech German Shepherd is becoming increasingly popular. As a result, breeding of the dog is no longer as heavily regulated, but is still regulated in Europe more than in the US.
Czech GSDs have a lifespan of between 12 and 15 years, which is about the same as standard German Shepherds from other lines.
The Czech German Shepherd has the typical facial appearance of the German Shepherd Dog, with a strong jaw, a thick head, and upright pointed ears. They also have strong athletic bodies, with deep chests and thick front paws.
They’re larger than most German Shepherd breeds, with males reaching up to 68 pounds, while the females weigh between 49 to 70 pounds, but they have a dense appearance that makes them look significantly more muscular and powerful.
They have a sable coat, with patches around their legs colored cream, tan, or red with branded tips over most of its body. The pigmentation gives the dog a general black appearance.
The dog’s colors are more uniform than those on the American German Shepherd, and range from dark brown to wolfish gray to black.
In terms of temperament, being one of the most loyal breeds of German Shepherds, the Czech Shepherds are calm around their owners.
They’re intelligent and can be great with children, and like most other German shepherd breeds, they’re relatively easy to train since they have an impressive learning capacity.
Begin training your Czech German Shepherd as early as possible through positive reinforcement, and these dogs are also capable of being trained through a program known as Schutzhund.
Just like in other types of German Shepherds, Czech Shepherds are prone to eye and ear infections, and hip dysplasia, among other health issues.
Czech German Shepherds are cheaper in the United States, with prices ranging between $500 and $1,800, depending on the titles for the dog and the studs that were used.
When these puppies come from Europe they’re often much more expensive due to the breeding regulations in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Germany.
However, if you can afford it, getting your pup from Europe is ideal as they’re generally much healthier.
Czech German Shepherds are considered high-quality dogs, so you want to avoid purchasing one from a backyard breeder or puppy mill, and opt only for reputable breeders.
