History
The Czech Terrier is the result of an appropriate
crossbreeding between a Sealyham Terrier dog and a Scotch Terrier bitch, with the
aim to develop a light, short legged, well pigmented hunting Terrier, with practical
drop ears, easy to groom and easy to train. In 1949 Mr. Frantisek Horák from
Klánovice near Prague started to improve the breed by fixing their characteristics. In
1959 these dogs were shown for the first time, and the breed was finally recognized
by the FCI in 1963.
Origin
Czech Republic
Utilization
Formerly a Terrier breed for hunting foxes and badgers, today more a
house-and companion dog.
