Prazsky Krysarik

History

The Prazsky Krysarik is a small dog breed that originated in the Czech Republic. The breed was developed in the 20th century and is named after the Prague Pied Piper, a legendary figure in Czech folklore. The Prazsky Krysarik was created by crossing several small dog breeds, including the Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher.

The Prazsky Krysarik was originally bred as a companion dog, but was later also used to hunt rats and mice. The breed has been recognized by the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) since the 1980s and is now popular all over the world.
