The use of sheepdogs in sheep breeding
Venhodová, Hana ; Toušová, Renata (advisor) ; Nohejlová, Lenka (referee)
In my bachelor's thesis I give an overview of sheep farming and grazing using sheepdogs. In the first part, I focus on rearing sheep -- especially on the characteristics of types and breeds reared for profit, on nutrition, housing and grazing. In the second part, I focus on rearing sheepdogs, especially on their characteristics and selected breeds, choice of pups, upbringing, care, and problem behaviour. I have tried to point out the differences in temperament and type of sheepdogs compared with regularly reared dog breeds. Sheep farming has a long tradition in the Czech Republic and remains an important sector of livestock production. The importance of sheep farming lies mainly in the versatile usableness of sheep (meat, milk, wool and by-products, e.g. manure) and, in the recent years, also in ecological farming. Sheep are being reared in sheepfolds or adapted buildings. Sheep are typical grazing animals. There are various grazing systems: set stocking, paddock grazing, strip grazing, and grazing of sheep in combination with other farm animals. To feed sheep, we usually either let them graze or -- in the winter -- feed them hay; alternatively we use sillage, high-energy feeds or root crops. There are a large number of breeds of sheep used for grazing. Based on their purpose, we distinguish combined breeds (e.g. Merino, Merinolandschaf, Tsigai), meat- (e.g. Suffolk, Charollais, Texel) and milk-breeds (e.g. East Friesian sheep), and prolific breeds (e.g. Romanov sheep). Both pure breeding and crossbreeding are being used. Together with the return to sheep grazing, breeders are increasingly using sheepdogs for the protection of their herds. A sheepdog can independently guard a herd and its constant presence deters predators, stray dogs and thieves. Sheepdogs live with herds on pastures. The breeds used include Bernese Mountain Dog, Caucasian, Anatolian Shepherd Dog and Central Asian Shepherd Dog. These dogs are strong and massive, confident, and fearless even when facing large predators. These breeds have no tests of performance so we choose pups from litters where the parents work and use their instincts on a daily basis. These dogs have genetic dispositions for guarding and only need time for the development of their skills. Training sheepdogs is therefore focused primarily on managing unwanted behaviour and upbringing near herds of sheep so that the dog can form a strong bond with sheep.

The use of dogs in sports kynology affect the performance of the dog
FEIKOVÁ, Klára
The bachelor thesis of mine is about dogs in sports kynologie and about effects which work upon the exercise of the dogs. It reports also on the history and contemporary form of the International Examination Rules. It describes the IPO 3 exam and then it deals with finding out which breeds are the most suitable to perform the exam and then it deals with their use for superior competitions and Championships of the Czech Republic. This part of the bachelor thesis is dedicated to a dog training, namely to one of the most important aspects, the motivation of the dog. Further it is dedicated to reflexes and disruptive effects with training. In this own thesis there are analyses of the results of superior competitons of the Czech Republic championship IPO, included the Czech Republic championship. Number, breed structure, age and gender detailes of participating dogs are followed, Through detailed observation and analysis it has been found out, that the most suitable dogs for completing this competitons with the best results possible are Alsatians and Belgian Shepherds malinois. Considering the gender, male dogs came in better than female dogs in all the analyses. The best age for the dog to participate in this competiton is the age from three to five. For coming up to the 10th place the best time is between the dog´s fifth and sixth year of age, because the dog and the handler have both certain experiences with completing exams and also competitons.
