The Kvitko Connection

The Cesky Terrier was created by František Horák whose aim was to produce the 'ideal' terrier, a dog that could work in the countryside, would be an easily-prepared show dog and, most importantly, be a loyal family companion.

His daughter, Jitka Paulinova, carried on his work, establishing her Kvitko kennel as a teenager in 1971. I have been very privileged to own three Kvitko-bred terriers, as well as a fourth that, although not bearing the Kvitko affix, was out of a Kvitko bitch, and have based my breeding programme on those lines.
