Description:
The Cesky Terrier is a rare, charming terrier developed by crossing Scottish and Sealyham Terriers. Bred for hunting in packs, it is more laid-back than many other terriers. It is affectionate, devoted to its family, and tends to get along well with other dogs when socialised early. Its manageable size and calm demeanour make it an appealing companion.
Best Suited For:
- Individuals or families seeking a calmer terrier
- Homes with regular grooming routines
- Owners looking for a loyal, low-key dog
Less Suitable For:
- Those seeking a low-maintenance coat
- Very high-energy households wanting a more boisterous terrier
- Owners who prefer a fully aloof or independent breed
