One of the rarest terrier breeds, developed by a single breeder through a specific breeding program in Czechoslovakia.
Heritage & Purpose
Harrier
Origin:
Developed in medieval England during the 13th century, these skilled pack hunters excelled at tracking hares. Their size made them ideal for hunters following on foot rather than horseback.
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
