The Black Russian Terrier, also called the BRT, was breeded using the reproductive crossing technique in the "Red Star Kennel in the former Soviet Union following World War II, originally as a guard dog.

Also called the Russian Bear Schnauzer, Tchiorny Terrier, Chornyi, and Black Terrier, more than 17 various canine breeds went into the creation of this confident, calm and unpretentious animal. The key initial breed was the Giant Schnauzer, but other breeds, such as Caucasian Ovcharka, Rottweiler, Airedale Terrier, Newfoundland, Great Dane, and the now extinct Moscow Water Dog were also used.

Only recently has it been popular outside of Russia, and only recently has it been recognized officially by the American Kennel Club.

The BRT has also been called "the only good thing that Stalin ever did" :)

What was the Black Russian Terrier first bred for?

In the forties, the army-controlled kennel "Red Star" began to breed a dog for its own needs. They used a program developed by Soviet breeder-specialists and created a new breed especially suited for their special duties. The goal was a massive, robust, high-spirited all-round dog, always willing to work and able to withstand the enormous, climatic differences in the country. The breeders were the Giant Schnauzers, Rottweilers and Airedale breeds, and the Russian Water Dog. More breeds were included; in all approximately twenty breeds were involved in the creation of the Black Russian Terrier. Only the best dogs were bred. Soon they had a dog stable in character and temperament, but not in type. At that time, only character and temperament counted. Several years later, Russian "DOSAAF" Breeders (DOSAAF is a paramilitary organization) bought dogs from the Red Star kennel. They started to standardize the look of the breed without neglecting the good qualities. In May 1984 the breed was recognized by the FCI with Standard #327 "Black Russian Terrier." The Black Russian Terrier is to the Red Army what the Malinois is to the French Army. The Black Russian Terrier has all the ability of the German Shepherd Dog without the undue aggression. On July 1, 2004, the Black Russian Terrier was admitted to full membership in the AKC Working Group.
