History of the breed

Originally from the former Czechoslovakia , the Bearded Czech was commonly encountered there until the outbreak of the First World War. The breed was even known since the Middle Ages. She was on the verge of extinction as a result of the War of 14-18 , but a handful of passionate breeders have managed to retain enough dogs to preserve her and contribute to her rebirth.

Education

Despite his strong temperament , the Czech Bearded   is a fairly easy dog to train. He is rather obedient and loves to please his master . Firmness, play and attention make it an excellent hunting and companion dog.

Living conditions

The Czech Bearded is clearly not made to live in an apartment . His great need for activity and his strong temperament predestined him towards a lifestyle offering him more space and freedom of movement . A house with a large fenced garden suits him, just like a sports and available master.

Health

The Czech Bearded is an overall robust and resistant dog. Its coat with a dense undercoat allows it to withstand cold and humidity. It should be noted, however, that the Czech Bearded is susceptible to ear infections . His ears are therefore to be inspected and cleaned in a meticulous and regular manner.

To protect you from these risks and insure your companion in the event of health problems, Woopets recommends insurance for Czech Bearded dogs .

Life expectancy

Maintenance and hygiene

In summer, the Czech Bearded man sees a large part of his undercoat disappear, which causes significant hair loss . For the rest, the maintenance remains simple and basic , but it should not be neglected for all that.

It is recommended to brush the dog at least weekly in order to maintain the cleanliness and appearance of his coat. It also helps keep your skin healthy . Regular cleaning of his ears is also necessary in order to prevent possible ear infections.
