Heritage & Purpose
Scottish Deerhound
Origin:
During medieval times in the Scottish Highlands, these noble hounds served as royal hunting companions, pursuing red deer across rugged terrain. Their exceptional speed and size made them ideal for this purpose.
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
Scottish Deerhound
Secure fencing is essential due to prey drive. Regular exercise is crucial but should be moderate in puppies to protect growing joints. Health monitoring is important.
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.
