HELLO!
RIDLEY CESKY TERRIERS were at the forefront of establishing this breed in the UK.
In the last thirty five years, fourteen imported Cesky Terriers - nine from the Czech Republic, two each from Poland and Denmark and one from Canada - have made their home at Ridley, laying the foundations of correct type and temperament.
Every sensible dog breeder comes to a point when they know in their heart of hearts that another litter is just not a good idea. It's not merely the physical toll that rearing puppies takes on our increasingly decrepit bodies, but also the thought that we could be responsible for those puppies for 10 to 15 years, and would not be in a position to take one back if necessary.
There are a lot of memories, and not a little emotion, tied up in the litters we have bred, and it's difficult to think that within a few years our kennel name will become just a faint memory. I have been lucky enough to find someone who will carry the Ridley name into the future. Amanda Halling shares my enthusiasm for the breed and I am confident that under her stewardship Ridley Cesky Terriers will thrive. You can meet the current Ridley Cesky Terriers here
