Black Russian terrier was
created in the former USSR during the 1950s as an ultimate guard dog.
Cinologists (dog breeding scientists) of the federal military kennel
"Red Star" ("Krasnaja Zvezda") melded Giant Schnauzer, Airedale
terrier, Rottweiler, Newfoundland and Caucasian
Mountain Dog into a big, tough dog suitable for military and police work
in different climates. In 1984 the Black Russian terrier was recognized by
FCI. This breed became very popular all around the world due to unique
combination of abilities: great guardian and at the same time excellent
companion and family dog. A handsome, bearded giant, BRT measures 66 - 78
cm at the withers. According to official standard, color is only solid
black without any markings; or black color with some silver hair spread
all-over the body. Sometimes pups of black-and-tan, fawn, silver and even
white colors appear in the litters. These unusual varieties really have
their own beauty. But it is considered to be a disqualification. The tail
is docked; ears are left natural. Despite of it's size BRT is elegant and
agile, this dog moves freely, is able to jump high, quickly change speed
and turn around on "one square inch". Because of it's calm and
not too active behavior, BRT equally suited for both for a house with
garden and for apartment. These dogs do not become hyper or off-the-wall
if denied regular exercise. They are happy to spend time with their human
family and can be a perfect couch potato. BRT has non-shedding, odorless
coat, which is very convenient indoors, also it protects the dog from snow
as well as sun. Distrustfully vigilant attitude of BRT to strangers at the
same time combines with benevolent to all household creatures and gentle
loving disposition toward kids and family. BRT is protective, but not
vicious, independent, but not stubborn, always a loyal friend, but never a
slave.
