Heritage & Purpose

Developed in Victorian England during the 1800s for rabbit hunting and racing. Working-class families valued them for their speed and hunting efficiency in open fields.
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
Whippet
Requires warm bedding and protection from cold. Secure fencing essential due to prey drive. Gentle handling needed due to sensitive nature.
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.
