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.

we just adopted a brt and this book has been so helpful. we have other puppy books, but this one really is specific to the breed.

This book is a little old but the info is still current. This is a must have book for anyone considering a black Russian terrier as a companion, family, or protection dog. They truly adopt you not the other way around. The simple training techniques have proven invaluable to me as well as to understanding the mentality of this wonderful breed. I got two of them because they're addicting, you can't just have one. If it isn't a black Russian terrier its just a dog.

This is a rare breed with a fascinating history, unique temperament and a great dog. But it can be very hard to find clear, concise information on this breed and this book is just that. Well worth the small investment for any one considering this breed.

I purchased this book for my son that lives in the Netherlands. He and his girlfriend just got a Black Russian Terrior and I thought this would be handy for them both to learn more about this breed of dog. Thank you.
