What is a Cesky Terrier?

What a Cesky Terrier Is

·         The Cesky is a unique soft coated Terrier dog that is cut with clippers and not hand stripped.

·         The Cesky has terrier traits and like other terriers they were bred to hunt above and below the ground by tracking and digging, they have hunting instincts and a deep loud bark.

·         The Cesky is very intelligent and this is sometimes confused as being stubborn.

·         The Cesky has a lot of energy and needs to have daily exercise and some type of interaction with his owner; they especially love a game of toss the tennis ball.

·         The Cesky is a strong well muscled dog and does well with an owner who understands that he/she needs to be the alpha in the family pack.

·         The Cesky was bred to hunt in packs with other Cesky Terriers. They may react as a hunter towards small animals and birds.

·         The Cesky is very food oriented, this is good for training, but you must not leave food unguarded, they will find a way to get it. Your Cesky will eat too much if his food is not given in measurement and become overweight and suffer the health problems that come with obesity.

·         The Cesky is loyal to his/her family and wants to be included in your daily activities. They are not a kennel dog and do not do well left alone. Keeping your Cesky active both inside and outside your home will make a happy dog.

·         The Cesky is reserved towards strangers so it is important that new owners take their Cesky to dog training classes to socialize their dog. It is also a great bonding experience for the entire family and is a way for you to earn the respect of your Cesky. The Cesky loves fun activities, a beginner Agility Class is recommended as a positive training activity.

What a Cesky Terrier Is Not

· The Cesky is not a lap dog and even though he loves to be with his family, he was not bred to sit happily all day in someone’s lap. They love to play.

· The Cesky is not for a family that does not have time to spend with their dog . They crave attention and are not to be kennel or backyard dogs. Their desire is to be with their family. A Cesky owner must make time to exercise their dog daily. The Cesky is a sensitive breed and has to be trained in ONLY  a positive manner for positive results.

· The Cesky is not for someone who is not willing to groom a dog. The Cesky is a “coated” breed and as puppies will need daily grooming. As an adult their adult coat needs to be brushed at least twice a week. You must be committed to pay for or learn to clipper cut your Cesky yourself. The Cesky haircut is quite unique and your dog will need to be trimmed every 3 to 5 weeks. This is a lifetime commitment!

· The Cesky is not a dog to be left alone with ANY toy or bone. They have very strong jaws and will destroy all toys. You must supervise their play with toys.

· The Cesky is not a dog for you if you are looking for a quite, small, low energy dog.
