Cesky Fousek Activity Requirements
Cesky Fouseks are a herding dog that originated in Czechoslovakia. They were originally used for hunting and guarding, but today they are mostly used as a companion animal. They are intelligent, loyal, and devoted. While they are not a particularly high-energy breed, they do require regular exercise. A daily walk or run is a great way to keep them healthy and happy. While they don’t need a great deal of space, they do need to have room to stretch their legs and get off their feet. If you live in an apartment or townhouse, a dog park can be a great option. A place where your Cesky Fousek can run, play, and socialize is perfect for this active and energetic breed.
