The Cesky Fousek is a Czech breed of versatile gun dog. They are wirehaired, and have the beard and moustache common to the wirehaired breeds. There is a dramatic difference in size between the bitches and dogs of this breed.
The Cesky Fousek is thought to be an ancient breed, although written standards were first established in the nineteenth century. The breed nearly went extinct in the 1920s, and was saved by breeding with German Wirehaired Pointers.
