About Black Russian Terrier
Country of Origin, History of Black Russian Terriers
The Black Russian Terrier
was specially designed and bred by the Soviet
Russian Red army in the 1940s at their own
“Red Star Kennel.” The new breed
needed to be massive and robust but high-spirited,
highly trainable, and always willing to work.
He needed to be able to withstand all types
of climate, but especially the long, cold,
harsh winters. His coat had to be protective
but low maintenance.
|
 |
The Black Russian Terrier counts
Giant Schnauzer, Rottweiler, Airedale, Newfoundland,
Caucasian Ovcharka, Great Dane, Eastern European
Shepherd and Russian Water Dog among the 17 breeds
in his background. His character and temperament
stabilized but his appearance took longer. The Russian
DOSAAF worked to standardize the breed.
The Black Russian Terrier is to
the Russian army as the Malinois is to the French
army and the German Shepherd Dog was to the German
Army.
Some puppies were sold to hobby
breeders starting in 1958. The breed spread to the
Baltic countries, the Ukraine and Siberia. A few
were sold to breeders in Finland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia,
and the United States. In 1984 the breed was recognized
by the FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale).

A General Appearance of
the Dog
The Black Russian Terrier is called
a medium dog, but if you see one, you will think
it is a large-boned dog. It is very rectangular,
muscularly strong, and robust. Its blocky head is
broad with a mustache and beard and full, square
nose and muzzle. Dark eyes and triangular, small
pendant ears finish the look of the head.
The Black Terrier is even muscular
in his neck and legs. His large feet appear bear-like
with thick, dark pads. Although his gait is strong
and powerful, he is well coordinated and appears
light on his feet. His high-set tail is cropped.
Coat Color
The Black Russian Terrier is all
black. Any other color of hairs in the coat is a
disqualification unless it is gray in an older dog,
especially around his face.
Coat Type
The Black Russian’s outer
coat is waterproof. It is fairly coarse, about 1.5
to 4 inches in length, and can be slightly wavy.
Legs should be covered with 2 -4 inches of coarse
hair. The feet are covered with hair. The dog’s
coat should appear full and tousled. The undercoat
is thick and soft.
Height
Males: 27 -30 inches
Females: 26 – 29 inches
Weight
80 – 150 lbs
Do not overfeed; make sure they
get plenty of exercise.
Personality
Temperament of the Dog
Black Russian Terriers were created
to be the perfect all-around dog. He is very adaptable,
alert and lively, easily trainable, and even-tempered.
He is self-confident and brave, wary of strangers
with a good dose of natural guarding instincts.
And, on top of that, he has a low maintenance coat.
Since they are a large dog, they
need to start training early with someone who will
be firm and consistent with them. They take to the
leash without much encouragement. They are easy
to housebreak. They enjoy training because they
love to please their masters.
Quick to act, the Black Russian
Terrier will be very protective of his owner and
his home. Because of this dominance, they may not
get along well with other large or dominant dogs,
but they do get along well with almost all other
animals.
Black Russians want intense contact
with humans and other animals. They bark only when
they think it is necessary.
Black Russian Terrier Puppies
are very inquisitive and will get into everything.
They are late maturers and many adult characteristics
will not appear until they are 1.5 to 2 years old.
Better suited to an indoor
or outdoor lifestyle?
They seem able to live outdoors
year-round, but this would be mean to this gentle
dog. They really want and need to be close to their
family. They are little trouble in the house and
are very happy there with play times and walks outdoors.
Close contact with the family hones the good qualities
of this breed.
If the BRT is kenneled outside,
he will not learn what to protect and may one day
protect his kennel against his owner.
Are they suited to homes
with kids?
Black Russian Terriers love children
and love to play with children (especially the females).
Activity
Level
How Active is the Breed?
Black Russian Terriers are always
ready for a long, daily walk or several very active
play times in a securely fenced yard. They love
to romp and play. Most of them love to play in the
snow or in the water.
How Much Exercise Does
the Dog Need at every stage of its Life?
Black Russian Terriers are always
ready for a long, daily walk or several very active
play times in a securely fenced yard. They love
to romp and play.
Grooming
Weekly brushing will keep the
Black Russian Terrier from shedding. They do not
have seasonal shedding.
Remove hair from ear ducts. Trim
the paws.
Regular trimming and grooming
3-4 times a year by a professional groomer will
really help the Black Russian Terrier look and feel
his best. Handstripping may be necessary.
Health
and Care
Genetic Problems
Hip dysplasia and ear infections
are the only known problems.
Litter Size:
6-12 puppies
Life Span: The
average life span is 10 – 11 years.
