The Black Russian Terrier
stands no more than 28 1/2 inches at the shoulder. He has a thick, wiry,
weather-resistant top coat over a dense undercoat capable of protecting
him from the harshest Russian winters. His coat is black or ashen in
colour,
non-shedding, and hypo-allergenic. A moustache, beard, and overhanging
eyebrows complete the picture.
The
Black Russian Terrier is a self-assured, calm, and confident dog who maintains
a dignified reserve with strangers. Although not aggressive, he is an
assertive animal who is highly intelligent and may not be the best choice
for an inexperienced dog owner. He is a large, energetic, powerful dog
capable of almost legendary endurance. Early training and socialization
are critical. The Black Russian Terrier accepts training well. He should
be stable, extremely reliable, of good temperament and
well-balanced.
A natural guardian and protector, the
Black Russian Terrier is a strong, agile, muscular dog. He is very
protective of his family. Lively, alert, and fearless, he
is capable of being trained for a variety of tasks, and requires regular
exercise to keep fit.
