Con su llamativo pelaje negro y su construcción poderosa, este perro de tamaño mediano es tanto un compañero leal como un formidable protector.

Temperamento
The Russian Black Terrier is known for its confident and protective nature, making them excellent family pets and guardians. They are typically loyal and affectionate with their families, often forming strong bonds with their owners. While they can be reserved around strangers, they are generally calm and composed, requiring regular exercise to channel their energy effectively. Their intelligence and eagerness to please make them highly trainable, though consistent and firm training is essential to manage their protective instincts.
Consideraciones de Salud
The Russian Black Terrier is generally a healthy breed with a lifespan of approximately 10-12 years. However, like many medium-to-large working breeds, they can be prone to certain genetic health issues. Hip and elbow dysplasia are common concerns, so regular screenings and maintaining a healthy weight are important to minimize strain on their joints. Additionally, they may be at risk for progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), which can lead to vision loss, and some individuals may develop hypothyroidism. Routine veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and regular exercise are essential for preventive care. Breeders should conduct health tests for hips, elbows, eyes, and thyroid to ensure responsible breeding practices. Early detection through recommended screenings can greatly enhance their quality of life.
