Black Russian Terrier Did You Know?


  • The Black Russian Terrier is AKC's 151st breed.


  • As insinuated by the name, the only acceptable color in the Black Russian Terrier is black, or black with a very few gray hairs.


  • The Black Russian was created in part due to Red Star Kennels, an army-controlled Soviet kennel dedicated to developing special-duty breeds.


  • Despite its name, the Black Russian is a member of the Working Group and not the Terrier Group.


  • The Black Russian Terrier develops a strong, protective instinct within a year.


  • The Black Russian was developed through selective interbreeding of Rottweilers, Giant Schnauzers, and Airedales by the Russian military.
