The czech german shepherd dog
History of the Working Line Czech German Shepherd
During World War II, Czechoslovakian Shepherds, closely related to German Shepherds, were utilized by the Czechoslovakian military and police for tasks like border patrol, tracking, and detection, particularly along the Iron Curtain. These dogs were bred for working ability, with a focus on intelligence, agility, endurance, and drive, rather than solely on appearance. One notable Czechoslovakian Shepherd, Antis, served with the Royal Air Force and became a celebrated mascot and war hero.
