• I am allergic to animals can I have a cesky ?

That depends on the severness of the allergy. Because a Cesky does not loose its hair he is better tollerated than other breeds that do loose their coat. The best way to see is too visit a breeder that has several dogs and see if you have any problems.

• We have a cat and a rabbit, can we have a Cesky Terrier since this is a hunting dog ?

Yes, you can ! The cesky is a hunting dog but only if you stimmulate him doing so. If you do have other animals you have to learn him to be gentle with them, especially with vulnerable animals like rabbits.

    

• Where can I find a puppy and are they expensive ?

The best way to buy a Cesky is from a breeder that breeds only cesky terriers and not from a puppymill breeder that sell dozens of different breeds. Before you decide to buy one go visit some breeders and see how their dogs live. The cesky is not very suitable for living in a kennel so look for a breeder where the dogs live in the house freely, this means not in crates or separate rooms. This way you have the best chance on getting a puppy that is properly socialiced and used to all the daily noises. You may have to wait a little for a puppy from such breeder but remember that it is a familymember that you have to live with for at least the next 10 years. A healthy and well socialised puppy will make up for the time you have to wait.

 

The cesky is not more expensive than andy other 'normal' breed. The prices may range from country and area, but will mainly depent on the quality of the puppy and the quality of the parents. You can expect to pay more for a puppy of which the parents have won numerous awards than for a puppy of which the parents have never been to shows. The quality of the puppy is difficult to see at the age of which most puppies go to their new homes, which is usually around 9 weeks. A puppy that shows already one or more faults is ofcourse less expensive than one that shows no faults. Remember that not all faults can be seen at such young age, so don't be mad at the breeder of your dog if it doesn't turn out to be "the big winner all times". If you are looking for such dog than you have to look for a 2 year old one. Don't trust any breeder that says "that puppy is going to be a topwinner", he surely would have kept that "winner" himself !

 

• We want a mediumgrey cesky, but we only see "black" puppies.

All cesky terriers are born black ! When they get older they get their final color. This lightning up can take up to 4 years (olthought this is rare). A 9 week old puppy that has had his first trimm and is already medium or lightgrey is likely to become lightgrey. A 9 week old puppy that is darkgrey till mediumgrey is likely to get a mediumgrey color when grown up. A 9 week old puppy that is still fully black is likely to get a color that range from darkgrey till mediumgrey. Remember that these are predictions and happy and unhappy surprises regarding colors have occured in this breed !
