Brief History:
Mr. Frantisek Horak, of the Czech Republic,
crossed the Sealyham and Scottish Terrier, and kept very good records of all
his breedings. There are some publications that state, or insinuate, that
other breeds were used in the development, but this is not true. All Cesky
Terrier owners can trace their dogs directly back to the Sealy and Scotty
who started it all. |
