What a Cesky Terrier Is ·         The Cesky is a unique soft coated terrier dog that is trimmed with clippers, not hand stripped. ·         The Cesky has terrier traits and like other terriers they were bred to hunt above and below the ground by tracking and digging. They have hunting instincts and a deep, loud bark. ·         The Cesky is very intelligent and this is sometimes confused as being stubborn. ·         The Cesky has a lot of energy and needs to have daily exercise and some type of interaction with his owner. They especially love a game of 'toss the tennis ball'. ·         The Cesky is a strong, well muscled dog and does well with an owner who understands that he/she needs to be the alpha in the family pack.

The Cesky was bred to hunt in packs with other Cesky Terriers. They may react as a hunter towards small animals and birds. ·         The Cesky is very food oriented. This is good for training, but you must not leave food unguarded, as they will find a way to get it. Your Cesky will eat too much if his food is not carefully measured, and become overweight and suffer the health problems that come with obesity. ·         The Cesky is loyal to his/her family and wants to be included in your daily activities. They are not a kennel dog and do not do well left alone. Keeping your Cesky active both inside and outside your home will make a happy dog. ·         The Cesky is reserved towards strangers so it is important that new owners take their Cesky to dog training classes to socialize their dog. It is also a great bonding experience for the entire family and is a way for you to earn the respect of your Cesky. The Cesky loves fun activities. A beginner Agility Class is recommended as a positive training activity.

What a Cesky Terrier Is Not The Cesky is not a lap dog and even though he loves to be with his family, he was not bred to sit happily all day in someone’s lap. They love to play.  The Cesky is not for a family that does not have time to spend with their dog . They crave attention and are not to be kennel or backyard dogs. Their desire is to be with their family. A Cesky owner must make time to exercise their dog daily. The Cesky is a sensitive breed and has to be trained in ONLY  a positive manner for positive results.

The Cesky is not for someone who is not willing to groom a dog. The Cesky is a “coated” breed and as puppies will need daily grooming. As an adult their adult coat needs to be brushed at least twice a week. You must be committed to pay for or learn to clipper cut your Cesky yourself. The Cesky haircut is quite unique and your dog will need to be trimmed every 3 to 5 weeks. This is a lifetime commitment! The Cesky is not a dog to be left alone with ANY toy or bone. They have very strong jaws and will destroy all toys. You must supervise their play with toys. The Cesky is not a dog for you if you are looking for a quiet, small, low-energy dog.
