good, the females are fertile and can care for their whelps very good. Český Strakatý pes does
not need challenging food, he takes advantage of everything he gets from his owner. Český

points in the white areas in his coat. Český Strakatý Pes will not dazzle your friends wit his exotic
exterior, but he can win their friendship through his ordinariness. He will love your children and he
will play with them all day long, he will be anytime thankful ready for your disposal, when you
remember him and decide to take him to a walk. No offence if you have no dainty for him or if
you have not time to pay him attention just now.
History
Bohemian spotted dog (formerly Horak laboratory dog) was aroused by planned breeding for needs of the biological institution CZECHOSLOVAK
ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. It was bred out of a crossbred female dog of wolf grey German Shepherd´s Dog and a dog of resemblance to Fox Terrier.
Two of their nine puppies were three-coloured and then the breeding started in order to settle the standard. In 1961 these dogs were first
demonstrated on an exhibition in Chuchle in Prague and consequently breeders started to think about accepting the breed by FCI. First litter of these
dogs outside the CZECHOSLOVAK ACADEMY OF SCIENCE was on 10.9.1981. Czechoslovak Academy of Science stopped taking concern in this
breed. Then inhibition of breeding this dog came for quite a long time. After a decade just poor remainders of the breed were available. But
enthusiasm is a powerful matter and the breed was successfully resurrected. Certainly it would be a pity, if it became extinct. Bohemian spotted dog
is a medium-sized, square framed, a jovial and a lively partner, tireless, hardy and unpretending. Demands to maintenance hair are minimal. The
breed is possible to keep either indoors and outdoors. They are not inclinable to be sick, they are fecund, female dogs have motherly instinct very
well saved. Simply they are very "ordinary" Czech dogs, lovely, playful and thankful for care. Maybe they are not of a glamorous appearance but
they draw your attention by their pure love to you and your children.
