History

The Black Russian Terrier was developed in the former Soviet Union in the mid-20th century. It was created by crossing several breeds, including the Rottweiler, Giant Schnauzer, and Airedale Terrier. The breed was originally used as a guard dog in prisons and military installations. Today, the Black Russian Terrier is still used as a guard dog, but it also makes a great family pet.

Temperament

The Black Russian Terrier is a loyal and protective breed. They are intelligent and confident, which makes them excellent guard dogs. However, they are also good with children and can make great playmates. This breed is calm and even-tempered, but they can be stubborn at times. Consistent training is important to ensure that they are well-behaved.

Care

The Black Russian Terrier requires regular exercise to keep them healthy and happy. They love to run and play, so a large yard or regular trips to the dog park are recommended. They also require regular grooming to keep their coat looking their best. Brushing their coat a few times a week and regular bathing will help keep their coat shiny and healthy.
