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. I no longer breed or show, and even my days of promoting the Cesky Terrier are over, due to increasing old age but, if you re interested in the Cesky Terrier, I hope that you will find this website of interest.

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
