Cool video...but huh?
I ran across this video and found it quite interesting:
And hopefully not offensive since I don't understand a word of it! 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!!!

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. 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.

I think 95% czech population use "vlčák" for German Shepherds. Can you imagine, how it drives me crazy?...
