Some claim that the modern version of the little shepherd emerged in the early 1990s, while others believe that the ancestors of the little shepherds were the czech komondor or czech spitz. The komondor and the spitz are ancient types that have their centre of origin in bohemia. In 1612 a bohemian nobleman ordered the breeding of komondor and königspitz for the purpose of guarding his castle and estate.
