As far as I know (ie I could be wrong) up until the fall of the Wall and the collapse of the East/West borders in Europe the Czech dogs were primarily bred for border guard dogs and were controlled to a large part by the state apparatus. I think it depends more on the individual dog now than the label Czech as after the fall of the borders the Czech lines continued as border dogs but the breeding restrictions were relaxed so a Czech dog of today is not the same as one from 20 years ago. The Czech dogs of old were reared in state kennels and approved private kennels but today I think they can be from anyone. I'd say parentage back to proven dogs and temperament and performance of parents is as always the best indicator regardless of breeding line origins. The common wisdom is that Czech blood lines tend to develop and mature slower than some other blood lines but that may just be an old wives tale.
The website that I was looking for seems to be having problems, or maybe it is my computer. You may want to go to http://www.jinopo.cz I hope the link works for you it isn't working for me.
Alan, I am not 100% sure of the differences, but I have a 13 month old male from the Z.Pohranicni Straze line from his Great Grandmother and as far as I can track back his line, they are all from the Czech. border patrol.While he has only had basic obedience training he already is beginning to track,protect,and loves kids.Has a high food and prey drive,strong nerves,and will always bite the hand (with the toy) before you can lift to throw it.His bite is hard and fast.He can be head strong and at times sassy.I really need to keep him active and mentally challenged.A very quick learner. I wonder who is training who most days.I would agree with Charles. Check the parents and breeder out carefully.This probably means more than anything.

I know of a breeder who has german and czech line litters available in early 2010 and was wondering does anyone know the features of each line. thanks
I don't think you can really state each line has certain characteristics any more. And it would be such generalities, it might not have anything to do with the pup or dog you are interested in.
I think the first question you might want to look at is show lines or working lines? The differences there are pronounced enough that it could almost be two different breeds.
Thanks to everyone. I think i need to research a bit more to discover whether its an E / W German line and what Czech Line? Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all!!!
