| Origin |
In the 1940s, the army began
to develop a breed for special duties. The breeding program, called Red
Star, was modeled after a Soviet breeding program. Almost 20 breeds were
used to develop the Black Russian Terrier, including the Giant Schnauzers
and Russian Water Dogs. Russian breeders bought dogs from the Red Star
Kennel and further developed the breed. They are used for special duties
with the Russian army. |
| Description |
This highly intelligent, protective
dog can make a wonderful family pet. They require early training. Although
they can be easily trained, they earlier the better as they can be head
strong. They are good with children, dogs and other pets, but do best
when they are brought up with them from when they are a puppy. They are
an energetic breed and require a fair amount of exercise and play time.
They love to be around their owners and are not meant to be kept outside
or in a kennel all the time. This Black Russian Terrier is curious and
loves to explore it's surroundings, so you need to doggy proof your house. |

Overall good health. Problems
with hip dysplasia and eyes and ears. |
