Is a Black Russian Terrier a good choice for me?

Big Dog | October 20th, 2010

Definitely yes, if you would like to have a very intelligent and capable companion that is the happiest when trained for some work like agility, protection or obedience from the first months. These dogs require long, daily walks and exercise; therefore the best for them is a big house with a large, fenced yard.

They can make excellent watchdogs or provide excellent protection for the whole family with their strong and stable temperament and loyalty. They can accept other dogs and pets around them if they are provided with proper socialization from the early months. The training of this dog is very easy, since they are clever and eager to learn everything.

Black Russian Terriers have a very dense and long (around 2-3 inches) hair that requires at least a weekly, full grooming with a brush. They also need clipping several times a year and you should also pay attention to oral care and cleaning of the dog’s ears.

All in all these dogs are very capable and eager to be trained, therefore I advise to provide them a big yard and daily exercise to keep them happy.

I hope this short article will help you decide whether the Black Russian Terrier is the right breed for you.

What makes a good Black Russian Terrier Breeder?

Big Dog | August 25th, 2010

First of all, a good breeder does his job as a “hobby”. Unlike puppy millers, real breeders breed puppies on a limited basis: the goal is not have more puppies and more money, but to have healthy, lively young little dogs. Their goal is to improve the breed and ‘produce’ loving family pets. They would also stand behind the pup throughout its life, taking a lifetime responsibility. Last but not least: a good breeder always keeps in mind the interests of the puppy and not especially the potential buyers’.

How To Give your Dog a Checkup

How to avoid my Black Russian Terrier being jealous of my new born baby?

Big Dog | June 17th, 2010

Is it normal, anyway?!

Yes, it is. Just imagine the situation from the point of view of your Black Russian. He is part of the family, often treated as “the kid”, and then, suddenly, a new creature arrives and takes all the attention of his beloved family. It is quite similar to what older children feel, when a little brother/sister arrives. One of the differences is just that the dog can’t speak English :)

Actually, if we are aware of this ‘problem’ in advance, the situation can be handled, but it needs consciousness and to be started in time, long before the baby’s arrival. Let’s see how we can prepare our Black Russian Terrier for the new family member.

If your dog’s daily routine has to be changed with the baby’s arrival (it probably will), you should start changing the rules much earlier, giving him plenty of time to get used to the new set up. This way it isn’t going to be so sudden and shocking. If your Black Russian hasn’t really been trained before, it’s high time to start. He should learn at least a few commands, like sit, stay, etc. This way, he’ll be easier to handle.

Many families worry about their dog endangering the health of the child, so the best thing to do is to take your pet to the vet, get him checked and get some advice. Get your Black Russian Terrier used to the new smells, sounds in advance (blankets, lotions, toys). It’s also a good idea, that just after your baby was born, send home a blanket that the baby had been in, so your dog can experience the child’s smell in advance. It is very important to know that your  Russian Terrier will get a lot less attention from the mother, so when taking the baby home for the first time, the mother should greet the dog, so it is better if someone else is carrying the baby.

It is also a good idea not to leave them alone together at the first times, until your Black Russian Terrier feels comfortable with the baby, because, for example, it is very possible that the dog won’t tolerate the child’s crying very well in the beginning. You have to teach him that this is a normal sound, and you should motivate him not to bark (with treats, for example).

And the most important rule for last, maybe it seems too obvious, but it’s still worth mentioning: try to give as much attention to your Russian Terrier as you can. The point is that he has to feel that you do care about him. If you keep this in mind, most probably there will be no problem. You could also try Preparing Fido, which is an amazing collection of Baby sounds designed especially to get your dog ready for the arrival of the new Baby!

How do you buy a European Black Russian Terrier?

Big Dog | December 17th, 2009

Getting a pet shouldn’t be a spur of the moment, spontaneous buying. For a novice or dog newbie, cuteness of a dog may cloud one’s judgment of what a purebred Black Russian Terrier should be. Before setting out for the kennel, do some reading and approach people who own a purebred. Gather as much information as one can because the quality of the dog will definitely affect one’s quality of living for the better or worse. Genuine Black Russian Terriers are large and powerful dogs of 25 to 29 inches in height and weighing in between 80 to 140 pounds, with a dense and hard distinctive black coat that is never wooly or silky. Careful and more through research can help one keep an eye out for smooth talking breeders just looking to make a buck.

Indicators of smooth talking breeders:

  • Immediate exchange of puppy and cash without giving proper information

  • Breeder cannot answer or point out what is of standard in the puppy

  • Unable to provide papers confirming vaccinations or bloodlines

  • No return policy.

Indicators of Quality breeders:

  • Maintaining its temperament and trademark traits of calmness, dependability and versatility

  • Preventing health issues such as hip dysplasia or ear infections by grooming education
