What dog breeds were used to create the Cesky Terrier?

The Cesky Terrier is a sturdy and dwarf terrier that is used for vermin hunting. It is the result of a Scottish Terrier and a Sealyham Terrier cross and was established in 1949. Its drop ears are medium-sized and its coat is fine, slightly wavy and comes in a few types of colours and markings. The Cesky Terrier is generally friendly and calmer than other terrier breeds. However, it also shares the instinct to chase small animals.

What was the Welsh Terrier first bred for?

The Toy Fox Terrier is an American breed descending from the first registered Smooth Fox Terrier, named 'Foiler'. Fox Terriers were bred for fox bolting (chasing foxes out into the open where they could be attacked by larger dogs); white was preferred to distinguish the dogs from foxes at night. Toy Fox Terriers were bred from their larger cousins by American farmers who favored the shorter variety for chasing rodents.


Do staffordshire bull terriors kill rats?

Yes, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was originally bred to kill rats for pest control and organised ''ratting'' competitions. However, I have a Staffy and two pet rats and my Staffy is scared of them! There are many breeds that were bred for vermin control, including the Jack Russell Terrier, Parson Russell Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Norfolk Terrier, Lakeland Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Border Terrier, Patterdale Terrier and many more. In fact, pretty much all Terriers were originally bred to kill rats.
