One of the rarest terrier breeds, developed by a single breeder through a specific breeding program in Czechoslovakia.
Heritage & Purpose
Lhasa Apso

Serving as sentinel dogs in Tibetan monasteries and palaces since 800 BC, these alert watchdogs protected Buddhist monasteries and warned of approaching strangers.
Cesky Terrier

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
Lhasa Apso
Regular grooming essential for coat maintenance. Moderate exercise needs but requires consistent training. Watch for eye and joint health issues throughout life.
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.
