The Cesky Terrier is a rare breed in the United States. What isn't so rare is the volume of information available for judges, exhibitors and potential owners of this wonderful breed. The AKC Parent Breed Club, ACTFA, The American Cesky Terrier Fanciers Association, INC. is the official American source for the Cesky Terrier. We work closely with breeders all over the world to bring fanciers of the breed accurate and up to date information about this special breed.
ACTFA education is divided into seven regions each with a certified Parent Club mentor as director and additional Parent Club assistant mentors to assist anyone seeking information. We strongly urge judges and interested parties to seek out only Parent Club Certified Mentors to receive accurate information on our breed.
