Bohemian Spotted Dog (Český Strakatý Pes) — size comparison — facts and sources
The Bohemian Spotted Dog is medium-sized, lightly and proportionately built. It has drooping ears and a tricoloured coat: white with black or brown areas and tan markings. Shorthaired and longhaired varieties occur. Patches give individual dogs very different appearances, but the build remains moderate, without a massive head or excessively short legs.
František Horák created the breed in the fifties of the twentieth century for laboratory purposes. He sought a fairly uniform population with a gentle disposition and suitable size. Initially they were called Horák's laboratory dogs. When this use ended in the eighties, some animals went to private breeders. After numbers fell, breeding was restored and broadened with other suitably selected dogs.
Today the Bohemian Spotted Dog is chiefly a companion. It usually readily makes human contact, quickly takes an interest in play and likes family activities. It is active and quick to learn but can remain calm in familiar surroundings. Curiosity leads it to investigate new places, and sociability often facilitates shared activities with people and other dogs.
