Dog History

The Bohemian Shepherd is an ancient breed that dates back to the early 1300s in Czech Republic territory. They were raised as guard dogs to protect households during conflict, but they later evolved into a more flexible breed that could be employed as a herding dog. Despite being an uncommon breed, the dogs immediately acquired popularity in their area.

There was no deliberate breeding effort for these dogs, whose numbers began to fall, until around 1984, when their popularity surged and the breed became more in demand. These canines appealed to families and single people equally who required a dog for a task since they could perform so many various duties and were always eager to work.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) eventually recognised this breed in 2019, and the Bohemian Shepherd was assigned to the Foundation Stock Service Group.

Health and Care

Although Bohemian Shepherds are typically healthy, they, like all breeds, are susceptible to some health issues. Although not all Bohemian Shepherds may contract one or more of these diseases, it is vital to be aware of them if you are contemplating this breed.

The following are some of the more prevalent health issues that Bohemian Shepherds face:

• Eye conditions
• Hip Dysplasia
• Elbow Dysplasia
• Bloat
• Ear infections

Care

Because this is a herding breed, Bohemian Shepherds will have greater energy demands, especially as pups, and will require both physically and psychologically demanding activities. Agility training, obedience training, or a visit to the dog park to mingle with other dogs are all excellent ways to expend excess energy. If you live in an apartment or don't have a fenced-in yard, make sure your dog gets at least one hour of daily exercise.

Because these dogs have lengthy hair, be sure to check their ears for bugs and dirt on a regular basis, especially since they have hairy ears. You should also cut your dog's nails according to your veterinarian's or groomer's instructions. They shouldn't be slamming into the ground. It's best to start grooming your dog at an early age so that he becomes used to you cleaning his ears, clipping his nails, and brushing his teeth.

Maintain regular veterinary exams, and your veterinarian will assist you in developing a care plan for your dog. Keeping up with vet appointments will let you to notice any significant ailments sooner and treat them as effectively as possible.

Dog Breed Care Tips and Important Instructions

The Bohemian Shepherd is a working dog by nature, with a strong work ethic and a high tolerance for exercise. This indicates that the non-working Bohemian Shepherd needs at least an hour of excellent quality exercise every day, such as a strenuous walk.

Keeping this breed in a tight place is not encouraged, and doing so, especially if the dog is under-exercised, would almost surely result in undesired behaviours. They are normally a placid dog who will live well indoors once a proper outlet for their excessive energy is supplied.

With their thick and lengthy coat, it's understandable that this is not a low-maintenance breed when it comes to grooming. Brushing should be done multiple times a week to remove loose fur and prevent matts from developing. The Bohemian Shepherd may shed a lot of fur during their shedding season.

Regular ear checks, dental brushing, and claw cutting are recommended for all dogs, and should be started from a young age to eliminate any aversion.

Feeding

A good Bohemian Shepherd diet should be designed for a medium-sized, high-energy breed. Because this breed is prone to bloating, split meals into smaller parts and feed them throughout the day rather than keeping food available all day.

The food requirements of the Bohemian Shepherd will alter from puppyhood to adulthood, and will continue to evolve into their senior years, as they do with other dogs. Because there is just too much variance among individual dogs—including weight, energy, and health—to provide a particular prescription, you should seek your veterinarian for advice on your Bohemian Shepherd's diet.

Home Training Tips and General Information

To avoid your Bohemian Shepherd being confused and to make it easier for them to learn to accept commands, only one person should be in charge of teaching your Bohemian Shepherd at first. When too many people try to teach your Bohemian Shepherd at the same time, progress will be slowed.

Positive reinforcement and feedback must constantly be used by trainers. When your Bohemian Shepherd performs a nice deed, you must thank him so that he understands that what he did was appropriate. Don't chastise your Bohemian Shepherd if he refuses to obey or understand your orders. Bohemian Shepherds are not as intellectual as humans and learn at a slower pace. What you should realise is that a Bohemian Shepherd will not readily accept all of your commands in just one lesson; training a Bohemian Shepherd needs time and practise. Do not reprimand a Bohemian Shepherd since he may get fearful, which may limit his ability to learn and willingness to be broken in. Trainers may reward them with food or treats in order to show their appreciation for a Bohemian Shepherd, but you should never do so.

One at a time, provide instructions. Make an attempt to teach him one command at a time. If he refuses to absorb it, focus just on that command, as adding more talents would most likely confuse the Bohemian Shepherd. Begin by learning the essentials.

Keep your voice pleasant when doing talents so your Bohemian Shepherd will happily obey your directions. A quiet, confident voice elicits a response from Bohemian Shepherds. He may become angry and scared if you yell.

Train your Bohemian Shepherd in a variety of environments. If you keep your Bohemian Shepherd in one setting, such as your house, he won't be able to acclimate to a new location with new people. Take him to a park or a walk around the neighbourhood with him. This will allow your Bohemian Shepherd to become more acquainted with a wider range of individuals and breeds.
