The Cesky Terrier is a terrier who has intentionally taken his foot off the gas β€” less impulsive than his relatives, making him more adaptable and easier to handle for owners who love the terrier way of thinking without the extreme version. He's friendly, curious and has his own mind, but that mind can be shaped if you're consistent.
