[@GirlWithTheDogs]

He's not a show dog anymore, and his owners don't want him in a show cut. If he was to stay in a standard breed trim I never would have agreed to groom him, because I'm not trained to do so 👌. It costs nothing to be kind.

My neighbours had one and he was also very friendly even though I too thought he was huge, but I was a child back then. In Russia we too think of terriers as small to medium dogs, but the strongest association is with the curly tough fur, so a big mixed dog would still "classify" as a terrier if it feels like one.)

There is a family with a black russian terrier named Grim living in my neighborhood. He is a fine gentleman and adores toddlers. When the neighborhood kids see him, they are all over him. If one of them loses their balance, Grim would lean and let them grub his neck to help them up. Such a good pony! 😅

[@irlmovements1357]

If you take the time to read more about this breed of dog and don’t make hasty conclusions solely from videos you watch on the Internet, you will quickly find out that this dog definitely cannot be called friendly, except perhaps to its owner and his family. I have been watching RBT breeders for a very long time and unfortunately very few people cope with this breed. They are overly suspicious and they literally hate strangers. Dog handlers in Russia who have experience working with RBT are categorically trying to convince people who are choosing a puppy for any purpose to abandon the idea of getting an RBT. By the way, I love this breed madly, but I cannot take responsibility for possible problems.@@jayltee

[@mybrassmonkey]

As a BRT owner this made me so happy. Personally I like the cut. Even if you hated it you can wait a few weeks and it’ll all grow back. Keep being amazing and don’t sip the hateraide.

[@AnitaBetterScreenname]

Hateraid! That's funny! Thanks for the laugh!

[@BustaBustDaDog]

Also a BRT owner, thought the cut looked great. I groom my guy myself, it’s not easy

[@pamcunningham9608]

BRTs are amazing dogs! I've owned one who I made sure was well-socialized as a puppy. I left him in a semi-show cut but always put his facial hair up in a topknot. He eventually became too big and strong...AMAZINGLY strong...and as I'm a bit older I worried about being pulled over while walking him and breaking a hip. I found him a new home with an experienced BRT owner and she's done amazing work with him. He's earned multiple obedience titles and just competed in the invitationals Fast CAT competition in Orlando, as he was the fastest BRT in the country in 2022! They are very serious when they say this is a breed for experienced dog owners and trainers only, and like all the Working breeds they need a job. Love you, Illya!

[@kcordell6868]

I am so glad this breed has finally been featured on this channel. I have a soon to be 10 year old Black Russian. Prior to having him, we had Newfoundlands. My (now) late husband wanted a "lower maintenance" dog than a Newfoundland. Low maintenance isn't something to expect. Socialisation is a life-long training session. They are VERY distrusting of strangers (as am I), and being so fluffy and adorable people, especially children, will disregard my demands to stay way from him and touch him. He always growls at them. Because I have put in the work with life long socialisation and training, he has never bitten anyone besides someone who attempted to invade our home, whereas he did his job protecting his property and family by tearing out the backs of that guy's knees before the guy fired his gun at any of us. The "fau" that runs down his face came in handy that day because the home invader could not see my dog with his flashlight. The fau covering his face keeps the light from reflecting from their eyes and becoming easy targets at night. Like every dog with a specific haircut, it has a purpose. I will never be without a Russian Terrier. Yeah, he is ALOT of grooming, and his professional grooming are $250. This breed, more than any I have had, is truly all purpose. He is a guardian, a goofball, a cuddler, a tremendous farm dog that herds everything from cattle to chickens, to even myself when it's dinner time. Great dogs, and they definitely require a truly exceptional owner/handler/family.

[@BustaBustDaDog]

100% what you said!

[@disqusrubbish5467]

I think he senses your distrust of some people. Not a criticism - I say that as a BRT owner as well. I let my dog approach anyone he wants, and apologize for him being so friendly if I need to. If I hold him back he seems to think maybe he needs to be on guard. Just a thought, and really not a criticism. Oh, and yes - they disappear in the dark. Definitely handy for a guard dog. Glad you guys are ok.

[@planetmikusha5898]

The BRT was bred to be an effective military dog and guard dog for prisons/Gulags in the Soviet Union. So they needed to work well with their handlers, work with other dogs as part of a team, easily take down a man, and be able to work in extreme weather conditions. Consideration for a black dog with dark eyes and a mustache covering its teeth allow it to be nearly invisible at night.

[@ThingFishTube]

We just ~shave ours with Wahl #7 'skip tooth' comb. Lets you shear it like a sheep - without winding up with a ~seal in yer yard! Yes, BRT is a lotta dog/you need prior experience with big dogs - but they (eventually) chill like Monty, with enough socialisation/discipline. But it's *always* a BRT, if anything weird comes along. Yah. Lotta dog. Right through. Crushing when they go, but worth it all/fabulous creatures!

I had a BRT for 14 years back home in Ukraine. What a great dog he was! The chillest, nicest friend that loved people and had a sense of humor, but could stand his ground. It took me taking him to a junior protection training class to actually see if he was able to bite. Turned out he had the instincts all right, but he just hated biting. Not a mean bone in him. Also, luckily our Ram was the one puppy in his litter that did not have the modern "show" coat, his hair was rougher and shorter all over, so grooming was so much easier. It's been 5 years now miss him to this day.

And then there was a touching moment when the doctor allowed him to go to the door and he saw the owners standing outside.
