Czech Sheppard
Anyone have experience with a Czech Sheppard? My daughter is looking at a pup and is stricken. I’ve never heard of that breed. It would have to get along with a Shiba.

Don't buy it if it jumps up and down condtantly.: It will be a bouncing Czech Shepherd.

I suspect a pup that has known another dog since early on would be fine but not sure about the reciprocal. It seems Czech Sheppards are effectively fundmamentalist German Shepherds.

It's a German Shepherd without the monocle.
The real question is whether the 'bloodline' was established for guarding, etc. or as pets. The breeder should ideally have some info from a website on genetics (inbreeding) for dog breeders (I forget the website's link) - at minimum, the breeder should know both parents health histories and same for all 4 grandparents. Most large breeds are subject to hip dysplasia so ask for info on that back for 2 generations. A good breeder will also socialize the puppies to humans and human noises (e.g. puppies are exposed to TV playing Westerns while eating, playing). |

The Czech Shepherd has, to me, a much nicer coloring.

Or if it hides. Then it would be a cached Czech Shepherd.

If it has all the needed AKC documentation and shots it would be a certified Czech Shepherd.

Be sure you get a good one, you wouldn’t want a bad Czech Shepherd.

Make sure you get a young puppy that you can train from an early age, and socialize properly. My daughter got a German Sheppard from an Amish puppy farm where she was the last of the litter, and 4 months old...she had no idea how to play with toys, or how to interact with other dogs, or strange people. At 3 years old, she is still neurotic, and flighty, but a good dog none the less.

if it's a true C Shepherd..
then it's a working dog.. and would be $$$$$$... and if it's a reputable breeder.. he choose's owner's.. not the other way around.. we interviewed 2 times for my Rott's.. was on his waiting list for over a year.. owning working dogs is different... lot's of training..lots of exercise.. and vigilance along with Insurance.. Rika.. |

Get a thorough PPI and get that Czech Shepherd checked.

Neighbor got a Black German Shepard from a breeder of security dogs. Angus, stunning animal, a real specimen. They did not skimp on training either. The whole family was involved. But Angus was not a couch potato, very high prey drive. While he was not aggressive to the family the kids were afraid of him. After a year or so they had to return him to the breeder because in addition to the family dynamics Angus was bored which did not help at all. Angus ended up a Federal LEO. He's a breach dog. Apparently very happy with his new gig and very good at it. Some dogs just don't make good pets, they need more.

A Czech Shepard is not for the novice owner. They have an unusually high working drive and can be aggressive if you don't maintain a high alpha status, however these same characteristics make them ideal for military and police work. I would not recommend that breed for a family pet.

A Dax Sheppard will keep you entertained. A working dog shepherd will make you the entertainment.
