About Black Russian Terrier Puppies
About Black Russian Terrier Puppies
What should I know about Black Russian Terriers before buying one?
Black Russian Terriers make wonderful guard dogs, playmates, and friends. They’re high energy and lovable, always exploring new things to smell and play with. This breed is a great match for families with kids, as they’re friendly yet protective. Full-grown, they typically weigh 80-130 pounds and stand 26-30 inches tall.
Are Black Russian Terriers friendly with strangers and kids?
Black Russian Terriers are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. They love playing with kids and constantly seek attention. If you aren’t home regularly or don’t enjoy interacting with your dog, this breed may not be for you. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
How active are Black Russian Terriers on a daily basis?
Black Russian Terriers are playful and enjoy running around outdoors. They look forward to long walks each day and may get hyperactive and destructive if they don’t get enough exercise. Plan on keeping this dog active and engaged to avoid unpleasant surprises. Overall, their exercise needs are high.
How often should I brush a Black Russian Terrier?
The Black Russian Terrier’s double coat is black, dense, and rough to the touch. The coat underneath is soft, while the top coat is much more coarse. You’ll notice distinct eyebrows and a beard on their face, which gives them expressive personalities. Grooming-wise, this breed is fairly high-maintenance.
How much space does a Black Russian Terrier need?
Black Russian Terriers are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. If you aren’t home regularly or don’t enjoy interacting with your dog, this breed may not be for you. These pups also love playing in large spaces, so homes with yards are preferred over small rooms or apartments. They are fairly easy to train.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
