Cesky Terrier
The Cesky Terrier is a small terrier type dog originating in Czechoslovakia. The name is pronounced Chess-kee (after its Czech name Český teriér, literally Czech Terrier).
History
The Český Terrier was created by a Czech breeder, Frantiek Horák, in 1948, as a cross between a Sealyham Terrier and a Scottish Terrier, to create a terrier suitable for hunting in the forests of Bohemia. Although not a trained scientist, Horák worked for many years as a research assistant at the Czechoslovak Academy of Science, and used knowledge gained there in his dog breeding. Czechoslovakia was ruled by a Communist regime, and as Horák's dogs became more popular around the world, he received visits from the secret police due to the large volume of mail he was getting from outside the country. Frantiek Horák died in 1997. The Český Terrier was recognized for international competition by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1963 as breed number 246 in Group 3, Terriers. The breed is now recognized by all of the major kennel clubs in the English-speaking world. The Cesky Terrier is one of the six most rare dog breeds worldwide.
Appearance and Size
The Cesky Terrier is short-legged (achondroplastic dwarf) and moderately long-bodied, resembling the Sealyham Terrier and the Scottish Terrier. The Cesky Terrier has a long head, bushy beard, mustache, and eyebrows. The body is solid, but not heavy. The wavy, silky coat usually comes in various shades of gray-blue with tan, gray, white, or yellow furnishings or light coffee, though puppies are born black. The coat lightens between birth and two years of age. The Cesky Terrier's eyes are brown in gray-blue dogs and yellow in brown dogs. The noses and lips of blue-gray dogs are black; for brown dogs it is liver. The ears are triangular, folding forward close to the head. The head is long, but not too wide, with a well-defined stop.
Personality
The breed standard calls for a calm dog, and aggression is a disqualifying fault. Cesky teriers are reputed to be less active and quieter than other terriers. This may or may not make them suitable pets for families with children.

Puppy and Senior Dog Diet & Feeding my Dogs!
Disclaimer! So don't leave uneaten food out, lessen food amount if dog doesn't finish it, if your dog is eating food to fast, take it to the vet as it may be sick, clean water should ALWAYS be available, and always have a consistent feeding, walking or bathroom time. Mine are: Walk after every meal, which are given at 7:45 am and pm. Exception to the occasional garden bathroom breaks :) Thanks for watching! I hope that this was very informative!
