These are Chodsky pes. Chodove were original border patrol of Czech kingdom. The breed of Chodsky pes is a modern recreation of the dogs they used in 14 th century (!). They (Chods pronounce Khods)) were called "Psohlavci" Dog heads Because they were always acompnied by dog. However these modern dogs  are now much more docile then they used to be. That is why Czech border patrol used GSD . Chodsky pes and GSD have common ancestry.

That is why the head of a dog became a symbol of Czech Border patrol which they wore on their lapel.It was in green background and lookes like this.
 and it is derivative of this ancient symbol and my logo on my website.

Appearance
Chodsky pes is a medium-sized breed. They are 19 to 22 inches in height and weigh about 35-55 lbs. The coat is long and thick with a dense undercoat, colour is black and tan. The ears are erect, small, high-set and pointed.

Temperament
This is a very active dog with a wonderful temperament. They are quick in training and are generally very fast learners. This breed is not aggressive, they are good with children, dogs and other pets. Chodsky pes is great at agility, rescue work and service-training. It has an excellent nose and exhibits aptitudes for working with handicapped people. Naturally it is also a wonderful watch dog. This is certainly a breed of many talents, excelling in agility, rescue work, guiding the deaf and blind, herding and even recreational sledding.

 History
Chodsky pes 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. Though that is actually incorrect, the symbol became part of national knowledge due to drawings of a well known Czech painter Mikolas Ales. The symbol of the chodsky pes is still on Czech young scouts badges.

As the breed of chodsky pes is old, it is possibly also one of the predecessors to the German Shepherd.Chodsky pes is known to exist in the Czech lands as far back as the 14th century, and having been professionally bred as early as the 16th century. A modern breeding program for this dog was started in 1984 and there are now many breeders. About 3500 registered pups have been born since the program started (1984–2009).

Thanks Prager, so they are a couple of inches shorter, and not as aggressive.  What pretty dogs.  I learn something everyday!

Red sable you can compare size here the Chodsky is female and correct size the GSD is oversize male 70cm, my females weigh approx 20kg, Hany is more docile than Poly who can be fiesty and certainly bosses the bigger dogs around, she is also a good watch dog. hope the pic helps you compare one as gone to the US this year and another is due there shortly.
Their coat is not like a long stock coat GSD, it is more like a BC in summer a lot thicker in winter.
