The Cesky Terrier (pronounced Chess-kee) is a small terrier originating in Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic.
Appearance
- The Cesky Terrier, also called the Bohemian Terrier, is a short-legged, moderately long, terrier. It looks similar to a Sealyham Terrier. The Cesky Terrier has a long head, bushy beard, mustache and eyebrows. The body is solid, but not heavy. The Cesky Terrier is agile and robust. The wavy, silky coat usually comes in various shades of gray-blue with tan, gray, white or yellow furnishings or light coffee, though puppies are born black. The coat lightens between birth and two-years of age.
- Eyes are brown in gray-blue dogs and yellow in brown dogs. The noses and lips of blue-gray dogs are black; for brown dogs it is liver. The ears are triangular, folding forward close to the head. The head is long, but not too wide, with a well-defined stop.
Temperament
- A sweet and happy dog that is good with children. Patient and brave, they are very loyal, obedient and courageous dogs. Intelligent and more trainable than many other terriers. They are easy to handle. They love people, especially children and are fairly friendly with strangers, but like most terriers, it is feisty, stubborn and fearless.
History
- The Cesky Terrier exists due to the efforts of a Czechoslovakian breeder named Frantisek Horak. The Cesky is a relatively new breed, first recognized by the FCI in 1963. They are a mixture of Sealyham and Scottish Terriers possibly with other terriers added. The Dandie Dinmont is thought by some to be one of these other terriers. The Cesky's original purpose was to hunt vermin in their dens, especially rats and foxes.
Exercise
The Cesky Terrier is energetic and enjoys running and playing through a wooded area or open countryside. They will also enjoy a long walk on the lead.
Health
Occasionally: The Scottie Cramp, a minor problem causing awkward movement, it is not painful or life threatening.
