Is the Black Russian Terrier the Right Breed for Your Family

Are you interested in a BRT? Owning a BRT can be the beginning of a wonderful relationship with years of happiness, or it can be the beginning of overwhelming  responsibility for which you may not be prepared. You must remember that they  were bred as guard dogs and without proper training and socialization you will  have a problem. They are large, ranging in size from 26 inches to 30 inches at the shoulder. They weigh anywhere from 80 pounds to 130+ pounds. Once they are  over their major growing stage, they will eat about 4-6 cups of high quality food per day.
