Borzoi Fun Fact
Despite their large size, Borzois were historically allowed to sleep in Russian nobles' bedrooms as bed warmers.
Cesky Terrier Fun Fact
One of the rarest terrier breeds, developed by a single breeder through a specific breeding program in Czechoslovakia.
Heritage & Purpose
Borzoi
Origin:
Russian aristocrats bred these hounds during the 16th century for hunting wolves and other game across vast open terrain. Their speed and sight-hunting abilities were prized among nobility.
Cesky Terrier
Origin:
Developed in Czechoslovakia during the 1940s by crossing Scottish and Sealyham Terriers, bred specifically for hunting in the rocky terrain of Bohemia to pursue small game.
Special Considerations
Borzoi
Requires secure fencing due to prey drive and speed. Weekly grooming sessions needed for coat maintenance. Exercise must be controlled during growth to protect joints.
Cesky Terrier
Requires professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Needs regular exercise and mental stimulation. Watch for potential terrier-specific health issues and maintain dental care.
