Meet the dream dog of Dr. Frantisek Horak, a top-ranked geneticist from the Czech Republic, and one of the dog world's best kept secrets: the Cesky Terrier. This modern creation is a rare combination of beauty and ability, a "small, slim and elegant" terrier that is a true go-to-ground working dog. Originally devised from crosses of the Scottish and Sealyham Terriers, today's Cesky Terrier is a pure-bred dog through and through, recognized by most of the world's major registries. This Special Rare-Breed Edition brings the Cesky Terrier to the mainstage. The author Katherine Eckstorm is the heiress apparent of Dr. Horak's dream dog, having cooperated with the famous geneticist before his death and continuing to breed from his original line of Czech dogs. Mrs. Eckstrom is the world authority of the Cesky Terrier, an American breeder who is highly respected in the Czech Republic and around the world. This new volume details the complete history of the Cesky Terrier, from the creation of the breed to its rise in today's world of pure-bred dogs. In discussing the breed's characteristics, the author presents an interview with Dr.Horak, thus providing the most authoritative account of the breed's desirable physical traits and personality and an explanation of the breed standard. Chapters on finding a breeder and selecting a puppy, rearing and house-training the puppy, everyday care and obedience training outline everything a new owner needs to know about life with a Cesky Terrier. A lavishly illustrated chapter on canine healthcare, written by Dr Lowell Ackerman, discusses preventative care, infectious diseases, vaccinations, parasite control and more. From puppy problem prevention and senior dog care to rare-breed shows and behavioural matters, this new volume proves to be a much-needed up-to-date addition to every Cesky owner's home library.
