The CTCA ceased to exist, per its constitution and bylaws, having merged with the ACTC. Photos were published in a Cesky Terrier periodical of Roswitha Wick, the Secretary of the CTCA (with the approval of Connie Beach and the members of the CTCA) turning over the registry to the AKC and celebrating the unity. In 2004, Connie became a vice president of the ACTC. That same year, the American Cesky Terrier Fanciers Association (ACTFA) formed, with founding members throughout the United States. Another club, an offshoot of the NCTC called the NCTCA or National Cesky Terrier Club of America, was formed in 2004, but the club disbanded in 2007, at which time all remnants of any club other than the ACTFA were gone (See the NCTCA club website, cesky.org.).The ACTFA became the national parent breed club in the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 2007. After the Cesky Terrier became part of the AKC Terrier Group in 2011, the ACTFA was incorporated in NJ in 2012 as the National Club. A splinter group arose and formed a new club that they named after the original CTCA, but the AKC does not recognize clubs formed by splinter groups. The appeal of the Cesky Terrier is such that its breeders and fanciers are often passionate about their opinions.

The Cesky Terrier (/ˈtʃɛski/CHESS-kee; Czech: Český teriér, literally Czech Terrier) is a small terrier type dog originating in Czechoslovakia.

History

The Cesky Terrier was created by a Czech breeder, František Horák, in 1948, as a cross between a Sealyham Terrier and a Scottish Terrier, to create a terrier suitable for hunting in the forests of Bohemia. Although not a trained scientist, Horák worked for many years as a research assistant at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and used knowledge gained there in his dog breeding. Czechoslovakia was ruled by a communist regime at the time; when Horák's dogs became more popular around the world, he began to receive a large volume of mail from outside the country, which earned him the attention of the secret police. Horák died in 1997.

The Cesky Terrier was recognized for international competition by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1963 as breed number 246 in Group 3, Terriers. The breed is now recognized by all of the major kennel clubs in the English-speaking world. The Cesky Terrier is one of the six most rare dog breeds worldwide.

The breed was first imported into the USA in the 1980's. At that time the small band of Breeders who imported the Cesky Terrier Formed the Cesky Terrier Club of America, The first club and longest lived club for protecting the Cesky Terrier in the USA.

Description

The Cesky has natural drop ears, a natural tail, and sports a long, silky with slight texture coat in shades of gray from charcoal to platinum (black pigmented) or rarely brown (liver pigmented).

Head – Head is ideally 8 inches long, 3.5 to 4 inches wide and is shaped like a long, blunt

Coat

Long, fine, firm with slight texture, slightly wavy with a silky gloss. Not overdone with too much furnishings. Faults: Curly, Coarse or cotton-wool like texture. The Cesky Terrier is groomed by clipping and scissoring into a saddle pattern on the body, with the longer hair ending in a V on the tail. A “U” shape is cut out of the top lateral portion of the front legs and Areas of the neck, head, chest, shoulder, tail and rear thigh from the top of the V on the tail to the top of the hock and round the vent are clipped shorter to achieve this appearance and to highlight the well developed muscles of the Cesky Terrier. The Hair on the foreface from mid eye to the rear edge of the lip line is not to be clipped thus forming brows and a beard. The transition between clipped and unclipped areas should be pleasing to the eye and never abrupt.

Color
The Cesky Terrier has two varieties of color:

In mature dogs, 3 years or older: 1. Any shade of gray from charcoal to platinum gray with Black pigment. 2. Coffee Brown with Liver pigment. Black may appear on the head, beard, cheeks, ears, feet and tail. White, grey, brown and yellow markings are permitted on the head, beard, cheeks, neck, chest, limbs and around the vent. A white collar or white tip is permitted on the tail. The base color must always be predominant. Faults: Long brindled coat on dogs older than 2 years, white covering more than 20%, and a white blaze are disqualifying faults.

Gait

The action should be free , driven and enduring. Gallop rather slow but lasting. The forelegs extend in a straight line forward.

Temperament

The breed standard calls for a calm dog, and aggression is a disqualifying fault. Cesky Terriers are reputed to be less active and quieter than other terriers. This may or may not make them suitable pets for families with children.

Care

The coat of the Cesky Terrier is not stripped (dead hair pulled out with the fingers or a special knife) as in other terriers, but rather is clippered. The body and tail are clipped, and the furnishings (hair that hangs down under the body) are left long, as is the hair on the lower legs and on the face (eyebrows, beard, and moustache.) The longer hair should be brushed daily.

Health

This breed occasionally suffers from the Scotty Cramp, a minor problem causing awkward movement, but that is not painful or life threatening.

Breeding Stock should be Checked for Hip Dysplasia, Patella Luxation, Cardiac Problems, PLL (Primary Lens Luxation), Thyroid issues, and other Eye Disorders, all of which have been documented issues in the breed.
