Bohemian Shepherd is an old sheepdog breed. They have been also guarding Czech southern borders and homes in the area. "Chodove", the local people living there, had an exceptional permission to hold large dogs for this purpose. Alois Jirasek, writing about a brave uprising of the local people, even assigned these dogs as a flag symbol of them.

As the breed of chodsky pes is old, it is possibly also one of the predecessors to the German Shepherd. Bohemian is known to exist in the Czech lands as far back as the 1300's, and having been professionally bred as early as the 1500's. A modern breeding program for this dog was started in 1984 and there are now many breeders. About 2000 registered pups have been born since the program started.
