The Czech Terrier ( Český TERIER ) is recognized by the FCI Czech breed of dog (No. 246, Gr. 3, sec 2).

Origin and History

1949 began František Horák from Klánovice (then close today in Prague) on to breed Czech Terrier. But he crossed Sealyham Terrier and Scottish Terrier. As a result, a short legged, lighter, well pigmented leading to hound was desired with short hair and drop ears. 1959 these dogs under the name " Český TERIER " ( Czech Terrier) were issued for the first time. Finally, the FCI recognized the breed in 1963.

Description

The Czech Terrier is a small, muscled and well-built Terrier, which can be up to 32 cm tall and 10 kg heavy.

He has long hair that is fine, but firm and not too lush. It is slightly wavy and silky shine. The hair is held by shearing in the form of the Czech Terrier. Since the front head part is not shorn, arise there eyebrows and a beard. Also on the abdomen, under the breast and limbs, the hair remains unscathed.

There are two color varieties of the Czech Terriers: gray blue and white coffee brown. The gray-blue dogs come as black puppies, the cafe au lait brown as chocolate. Sometimes a dog of this breed has yellow, brown or white markings.

The Czech Terrier has relatively high set ears. They are medium sized and drooping, so they turn a deaf ear opening.

Nature, character

This breed is easily trained, gentle and quiet. It makes happy and pleasant company and strangers a bit reluctant.

Use

Originally, the Czech Terrier for hunting badgers and foxes was intended. Nowadays, however, used it mainly as a companion dog.
