Cesky Terrier

The Cesky Terrier is a short legged, well-muscled and solidly built terrier, rectangular in proportion, with long hair and drop ears. They were originally bred and developed to hunt foxes and badgers. Unlike most of the other terrier breeds, the Cesky is trimmed by clipping, instead of stripping, and the tail is undocked. The Cesky is a pleasant and upbeat companion dog. They are easy to train and not aggressive. Having been bred to hunt both singly and in packs, the Cesky is calmer than the other terriers. They have been known to be quite reserved with strangers.

Cesky Terrier History:

The Cesky Terrier, also known as the Bohemian Terrier or Czech Terrier was developed by Dr Frantisek Horak, who bred Scottish and Sealyham Terriers in The Czech Republic in the 1930s. He wanted a short-legged, hunting terrier that was not only a pack-hunting dog but that was also a good family pet and show dog. This led to Dr Horak cross breeding the Scottish and Sealyham Terriers, with the first Cesky Terrier litter in 1950.

They are one of the rarest dog breeds in the world, and were first recognised by The Federation Cynologique Interationale (an international federation of breed clubs based in Belgium) in 1963.
