Book Description
Imposing and solid black, this modern-day Russian creation has turned many heads in the dog world for its size, versatility and striking appearance. The Black Russian Terrier was developed in Russia to be an all-around worker and protection dog, and today the breed is all that plus much more. Owners have discovered that this up-and-coming rare breed offers a dynamic blend of intelligence, loyalty and resourcefulness, unlike that of any other pure-bred dog. For all admirers of the Black Russian Terrier, this Special Rare-Breed Edition will prove to be a vital resource, the only book of its kind devoted to this sturdy working dog. This comprehensive and colorful book discusses the origins of the breed in Russia and its spread to the US and beyond, breed characteristics and standard as well as puppy selection, housebreaking, health care, obedience training, showing and behavior. In addition to an authoritative text, written with both the pet owner and breed fancier in mind, this book presents over 135 color photographs that prove to be as attractive as they are informative.

This book is pretty thorough. It not only explains the origin of the Black Russian Terrier breed, but it also addresses the temperament and character of the breed. This publication is much more than a "how to care for your new puppy" book, although it is basic enough for new owners. The book not only describes the benefits of owning a BRT, but also responsibly stresses why this strong-willed breed of dog is not for everyone, and tells why that is so. The author seems to have touched on every subject concerning the BRT, from coat care and nutrition to housebreaking, socialization and bloat. I didn't care for their unrealistic advice to visit the mom and pop of a litter, because this is still such a rare breed that Americans are still importing these scarce dogs from Russia. However, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of being, or already is, owned by a Black Russian Terrier.
