Cool video...but huh?
I ran across this video and found it quite interesting:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=locgv...eature=related And hopefully not offensive since I don't understand a word of it!:shock::p I would love to know the historical context of the video from someone familiar with Czech, and also the history of the military there. Some of the photos appear to have been taken in the 1940s (and maybe earlier?) - though I admit I am awful with dates - but some of the dogs have a very familiar looking white mask... Neat pictures whatever the case!!! Love finding stuff like this!!! |
Nice video Marcy, I hope we will have more information about it :)
Ha ha actually I really like the song and Amélie who is 11 month old was dancing on my knews on it ;) |
Thanks
Well
It is a great link. I saw this video.It is great. Thanks for sharing. |
Hi! I am Czech, but I have to disappoint you. I think the song is about German Shepherd. ;) It was described in other topic - most people in Cz.R. use "vlčák" (from "vlk" - wolf) for shepherds, but correct is "ovčák" (from "ovce" - sheep).
|
I'm not disappointed! I figured they were GSDs. :lol: I was just very intrigued by some of the light markings on many of the dogs, especially in the face - so close to our dogs. It's a cool video, regardless - wonderful old photos!!!
|
I know. ;-) Maybe if the pictures were color, not black and white, the dog(s) would look completely different.

The military connection is from the second world war when there were Czech squadrons in the (British) Royal Air Force (RAF). But even more annoying than people calling German Shepherds "vlčáks" are those who call my vlčák a Czechoslovakian "ovčák" it drives me crazy! :evil:

That is great, that you take her to such places, like Old Town Square is. Perfect place for socialization. But we are a little bit off topic... :) |
