The Breed From “Lovu Zdar”

This precious baby is a Cesky Terrier. As an adult, she’ll be any shade of gray, from platinum gray to charcoal, but Cesky puppies are always born black (sometimes black and tan) and lighten as they get older, sometimes not until they are two or three years old.

White, brown and yellow markings are also allowed on the head, beard, cheeks, neck, chest, limbs and around the “vent” (yes, it’s what you think it is). A coat is clipped to emphasize a slim impression.
