Horak’s end goal was to breed a terrier with a narrow chest, a moderate size head and longer legs. He also wanted his terriers to have softer coats and a less aggressive temperament when they were not working which would make them that much easier to handle. He liked the dark coat of the Scottish Terrier and the drop ears of the Sealyham Terrier which he wanted to introduce into the mix. His terriers were bred to hunt rabbit, duck, fox and wild boar so they need to be courageous and have a lot of stamina. Horak also knew that easy maintenance coats were essential in his hunting dogs and as such, a Cesky Terrier’s coat should never be hand-stripped but clipped instead. To make life easier, Horak decided that his Cesky Terrier’s tail should not be docked unlike both of the parent breeds.
