The Cesky Terrier is the result
of an appropriate cross-breeding between a Sealyham Terrier dog
and a Scottish Terrier bitch, with the aim of developing a light,
short legged, well pigmented hunting Terrier with practical drop
ears, easy to groom and easy to train.
In 1949, Mr Frantisek Horak from Klanovice near Prague started to
improve the breed by fixing their characteristics. These dogs were
shown for the first time in 1959 , and the breed was finally recognised
by the F.C.I. in 1963.

pleasant and cheerful companion, easy to train; somewhat reserved

Grooming-
They should be brushed and combed out at least two times a week.
He has a soft coat and it does not shed, but with any non-shedding
breed, it can occasionally mat if not cared for properly. He needs
to be trimmed about every 6-10 weeks. This is done with electric
clippers, there is no "stripping" in this breed. Most people learn
to groom their Cesky Terriers, but it can be done by a professional
groomer as well.
Exercise-
Romping around the backyard they get adequate exercise themselves
but breeders still recommend a 30-minute walk daily, they tend to
put on weight easily. They enjoy being indoors.
Health-
A very new breed and not much is known about possible health problems,
so far they appear to be healthy little dogs with a good nature.
Similar to the Dandy Dinmont with short, bent legs, and may have
back problems.
