High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Black Russian Terrier (Russian: ), or simply BRT, is a breed of dog developed originally as a guard dog and police dog. It is rare outside its native country and is just starting to be recognized elsewhere; for example, it is one of the AKC's most-recently recognized breeds, gaining full status in July 2004. The Black Russian Terrier is NOT a true terrier. It is believed somewhere around twenty breeds were used in the development of the BRT. Breeds used in the development include the Airedale, the Giant Schnauzer, the Rottweiler, the Newfoundland, the Caucasian Ovcharka and the extinct Moscow Water Dog.
