Tips on Grooming Your Black Russian Terrier

    Moderate Maintenance: Grooming should be performed regularly to keep its fur in good shape. No trimming or stripping needed.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Black Russian Terrier Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an important part of standard pet care. Brushing helps to keep your Black Russian Terrier dog's coat in good condition by getting rid of loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a shining coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore lower the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Black Russian Terrier dog are tasks that help to reinforce the good connection bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Black Russian Terrier

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will rely on each individual dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats normally require much less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Black Russian Terrier Information

The Black Russian Terrier must be strong of body and mind to perform its duties as a reliable guard and military dog. This is a large-boned and well-muscled dog, capable of pulling a heavy load, yet having the agility to traverse rocky terrain or overtake an adversary. The head and neck are powerful. A reliable, intelligent temperament is essential in a dog that also has strong protective instincts; courage is also a must. The weatherproof outercoat repels water while the undercoat insulates the dog from the cold. Length of coat should vary from 1.5 inches to 4 inches with longer coats detracting from the dog's working ability.

Calm, confident and courageous sums up the Black Russian Terrier. Reserved with strangers, BRTs are very attached to and protective of their family. They are fast learners, but also independent thinkers, and they can be stubborn if pushed to do something they don't want to do. BRTs are affectionate and social. They tend to stick close to their people, even inside the house. They are gentle and playful with children. They may not be good with strange or dominant dogs, but are fine with other pets and smaller canine housemates.
