Cesky Terrier, Czech Terrier
This is a balanced, pleasant and cheerful family companion. Easy to train, the Cesky Terrier is somewhat reserved with strangers but never aggressive. The Cesky is a hardy, affectionate and very adaptable dog. Intelligent and sociable, he gets along with other animals and is very loving with children.
The Czech Terrier, or Ceský terrier as it is called in its native country, is the result of crossbreeding between a Sealyham Terrier dog and a Scottish Terrier.
The Czech Terrier is groomed by scissors (clipping). At the forepart of the head the hair is not clipped thus forming brows and beard. On the lower parts of the legs, under the chest and belly the hair is not clipped either. The transition between clipped and unclipped areas should be pleasing for the eye and never abrupt. This terrier does not shed and needs to be trimmed regularly.
