neutral Alice Hegrova : I consider "Méďa" to be the best one :-) - "Maco" is actually SLOVAK word.

medved

It should have a small crescent shaped mark over the second e so it is pronounced medvyed.

Méďa / Medvídek

If it should be really a CZECH name for a dog, I would prefer "Méďa" (or "Medvídek" as a diminutive version). The pronunciation is "meedya" and "medviidek" :-)
