The Cesky terriersis a short-legged, long, terrier similar in appearance to the Sealyham Terrier. They have a long head, bushy beard, mustache, and eyebrows. Body is solid, but not heavy. The Cesky Terrier is agile and robust. The wavy, silky coat usually comes in shades of gray-blue with tan, gray, white, or yellow highlights or light coffee, though puppies are born black. Their coat lightens between birth and two years of age. Eyes are brown in gray-blue dogs and yellow in brown dogs. The noses and lips of blue-gray dogs are black; for brown dogs it is liver. The ears are triangular, folding forward close to the head. The head is long, but not too wide, with a well-defined stop.

Temperament
Cesky terriers tend to be very sweet natured, eager to please. They love company and playing. They are good with children and generally so with strangers as well, always eager for a pat. They are easier to train than most terriers, but like all terriers , they tend to be a bit stubborn and willful

History
The Cesky Terrier was created by Czech breeder, Franti ek Hor k,, crossing Sealyham and Scottish Terriers, and perhaps also with the Dandie Dinmont terrier. They were bred as ratters and fox hunters and retain a strong hunting instinct

Exercise
The Cesky Terrier is energetic and enjoys running and playing through a wooded area or open countryside. When off lead, they will generally exercise and entertain themselves, following scent trails. Unlike beagles, they will return when called. They also enjoy a long walk on the lead.

Health
Some Cesky Terriers occasionally suffer from the Scotty Cramp, a minor problem causing awkward movement, but that is not painful or life threatening.
