Russian Black Terrier

Back during the late 40s, early 50s, the Russian black terrier was bred for use as a military, working dog. These pups are believed to be a cross of about 17 different kinds of dog breeds! Crazy. Male terriers get up to 72 to 78 cm (28 – 30 inches) tall and can weigh up to 60 kg (130 pounds), while females are slightly smaller and lighter. The Russian black terrier is quite the calm, confident, and self-assured dog. These big dogs do quite well in a dog training school as they’re highly intelligent and can adapt well to any training. On average, they live up to 14 years.

The Tosa Inu comes to us from a former Japanese province of Tosa and initially they were bred as a fighting dog. They were bred with the largest European dog breeds like the Great Dane, St. Bernard, Mastiff because they wanted a larger, more powerful dog. They’re still quite rare in today’s world.
