Recommended for: pet dog, hunting
The Cesky Terrier dog breed is not as aggressive as other terriers and make excellent family pets because of their gentle disposition towards children. Cesky Terriers are obedient because they are eager to please their owners. With that trait also comes patience and are therefore easy to train. They are still terriers, however, and thus still possess the feistiness and fearlessness that characterize the breed.
Remember that breed only provides a general clue as to any individual dog’s actual behavior. Make sure to get to know dogs well before bringing them into your home.
