Cesky Terrier (Terrier Group)

The Cesky Terrier is a well-muscled, short legged and well-pigmented hunting terrier that was developed to be worked in packs. The breed originated in the Czech Republic and is considered one of the country’s national breeds. As such, it has been featured on postage stamps, on television, in books and even in a movie. The Cesky has natural drop ears, a natural tail, and sports a soft, long, silky coat in shades of gray from charcoal to platinum.

A Look Back

Mr. Frantisik Horak, an avid hunter and breeder of Scottish Terriers, had a vision of creating a terrier suitable for hunting in packs in the forests of Bohemia. In 1949, he completed the first breeding between a Scottish Terrier and Sealyham Terrier that would eventually become the Cesky Terrier. In 1950, he reported his records of these breedings to the Czech Terrier Club (FCI) and made the request to name the new breed the “Cesky (chess – key) Terrier.” Keen and alert, the Cesky Terrier has been used in hunting fox, rabbits, ducks, pheasants, and even wild boar.

Temperament

Balanced, non-aggressive. Not to be sparred in the show ring. Can be reserved toward strangers. A pleasant dog that is not as excitable as other terrier breeds but always ready to give chase to something of interest. When working they can be silent but right on target and also able to work underground in burrows and scent track game. (AKC)
