Even BEFORE you get your puppy- GET PREPARED

Depending on how familiar you are with the club and the Cesky Fousek breed, you may already have done some of these, but here are some ways to get better acquainted with the breed and the club:

  1. Buy and read this book:

    Dr. Ian Dunbar. “Before and After Getting Your Puppy: The Positive Approach to Raising a Happy, Healthy, and Well-Behaved Dog”. (also available as an audiobook that is a great listen)This book will give you a roadmap for behavior developmental landmarks as well as how to manage your puppy to avoid problems before they arise.

    Our recommendation is to purchase or borrow “Puppy Culture Video (first powerful 12 weeks)” and the companion video “Attention is the Mother of all Behaviors” – These videos will help you with teaching the basic foundational behaviors important for both hunting and becoming a self-controlled canine family member. Also recommended is the book Puppy’s First Steps by the Faculty of Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. Puppy’s First Steps will give you the answers to your questions about: potty training, diet, socializing, puppy perceptions, kids, and more.

  2. Attend one of our field tests or training/exposure days. Spring field tests are scheduled from late March to May, depending on location; Fall tests are in September, and regional chapters offer training days at various time throughout the spring and summer.  Scheduled events are listed on the Field Testing page.  Contact the listed Field Test Chair to find out when and where tests and training days are happening.
  3. Check out our on-line resources.
    1. See the Resources section of the website.    Here you can download test rule booklets, access back issues of our newsletter, The Gun Dog Supreme, and learn about the work of the foundation.
    2. Check out our YouTube channel for videos of hunting with the Cesky Fousek and training for our testing program.  We have videos covering most of the disciplines required in the Natural Ability and Intermediate Hunting Dog Test.
    3. We maintain a great collection of hunting, training and testing photos of our dogs on a special photo gallery site: Cesky Fousek North America Smugmug
    4. Like us on Facebook too!   Cesky Fousek North America
