General characteristics/temperament: The Cesky Terrier is balanced, nonaggressive, pleasant, and alert. They are not as excitable as other terrier breeds, but will give chase when they find something of interest. They are reserved toward strangers but loyal to their owners. Cesky Terriers are very food motivated which makes them easy to train by using food rewards, but the downside is that they will steal any food that's left unguarded, and are prone to obesity. This is not a breed to be left outside in a kennel - they crave attention and thrive when they can be with their owners and take part in family activities.
