About the Cesky Terrier

The Cesky Terrier, also known as the Bohemian Terrier or Czech Terrier, is a small, elegant terrier breed created in Czechoslovakia in the mid-20th century by crossing a Sealyham Terrier with a Scottish Terrier. One of the rarest terrier breeds in the world, the Cesky was designed to be a calm, trainable hunting terrier that could work in the forests of Bohemia. With their silky coats, long bodies, and gentle temperament, they stand apart from the typical high-energy terrier.
