Cesky Terrier Health Care & Feeding

Cesky Terrier health problems
This breed is so rare that there aren't many health statistics available. But one look at their deformed build (which is called chondrodysplasia) and it's obvious that they'll have orthopedic issues. Intervertebral disk disease, loose knee joints (luxating patella), and hip dysplasia.
All terrier breeds have problems with their skin, namely chronic allergies that cause itching and scratching.
Hereditary eye diseases and heart disease also occur in the Cesky Terrier.
Preventing health problems
Some health problems are inherited. For example, if both parents of your Cesky Terrier have certificates proving they were tested and cleared of hereditary eye diseases and luxating patella, your Cesky has less risk of developing those conditions.
Other health problems can be prevented, or partially prevented, by the ways you raise your dog. If you're serious about doing everything you can for your Cesky Terrier, my best-selling book, 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy, shows you how to raise your Cesky Terrier puppy (or adult dog) in all the right ways. It will help you be your dog's health care champion!

To help you train and care for your dog
Dog training videos. Sometimes it's easier to train your puppy (or adult dog) when you can see the correct training techniques in action.
The problem is that most dog training videos on the internet are worthless, because they use the wrong training method. I recommend these dog training videos that are based on respect and leadership.
My puppy training book is Respect Training For Puppies: 30 seconds to a calm, polite, well-behaved puppy. For puppies 2 to 18 months old, this highly-acclaimed training program is based on respect. Your puppy will learn the 21 skills that all great family dogs need to know.
My dog training book for adult dogs is Teach Your Dog 100 English Words. It's a unique Vocabulary and Respect Training Program that will teach your dog to listen to you and do what you say.
Do the 11 Things in my dog health care book, 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy, and your dog will live a longer, healthier life and seldom need to visit the vet.
My dog buying guide, Dog Quest: Find The Dog Of Your Dreams, will teach you everything you need to know about finding a good-tempered, healthy family companion.
