Cesky Terrier Fun Fact
One of the rarest terrier breeds, developed by a single breeder through a specific breeding program in Czechoslovakia.
Heritage & Purpose
Japanese Chin
Origin:
Cherished as companions to Chinese and Japanese nobility since the 6th century, these refined dogs served as prized royal gifts and palace entertainers.
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
Japanese Chin
Regular grooming needed for silky coat maintenance. Temperature sensitivity requires climate control. Special attention to dental hygiene due to small jaw structure.
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.
