Q: Where can I get a fairly priced Black Russian Terrier puppy?
I was doing some research, and a Black Russian Terrier is exactly what I need. Because of its protective instincts, though, I need to get it young. Where can I get a Russian Terrier puppy? The closer to central Oklahoma, the better.

I got to meet 4 of the first 8 Black Russian Terriers that entered the U.S......Monsters! There really aren't that many breeders in the U.S. that are breeding for working ability in the BRT. Fairly priced I'm sure it is still gonna be well over $ 1000.

Answer by JenVT
Black Russians are still very rare and the ones here in the States and in Canada are from kennels that actively show in conformation. I can tell you, after seeing them "in action" at many dog shows, they need the most advanced obedience training possible, they need a very firm and dominant owner, and even then it is a crapshoot. They simply have not been bred long enough to be considered "pets" or to have reliable temperaments. Unless you have tons of experience with large, dominant breeds, I would not think you could find a kennel willing to sell to you.

I would also highly suggest you look for a reputable breeder & never buy from anyone else, papers or not – they are guaranteed to be healthier & have more suitable temperaments. Breeders don't always have litters that are all show quality – which is where pet-quality pups come in.
If it is a reputable breeder, they are usually also certified against certain health problems that can be common with the breed – though it's not always 100% (BC you can’t determine ultimately what a dog will have or not), that's where the pedigree line comes into play with the line. If a parent/ grandparent isn't predisposed, you may very well not have the extra worry down the line.
Seeing that you’re from the Midwest, I would make certain to stay away from the puppy mills that don’t care one way or the other what you end up with, though considering the rarity of this breed in the US, I doubt at this time that many puppy mills or backyard breeders are breeding them yet… A good breeder will also have you sign a contract, as well as take back the dog at any time for whatever reason. You would have to get into that with the breeder. A non-show quality pup should probably run about $2500, as there aren't many in the US either.
I also agree that if you don’t have advanced training skills with this level of dog, you most likely won’t be approved by a breeder, as they take ownership of their animals very seriously. You also would have to prove that you have the appropriate, long-term conditions of your home to provide a proper environment – prob incl a decent sized secure/ properly fenced yard, that the dog will be kept as an indoor dog, training & ownership experience with this level of the dog, & esp the time to put in on a regular basis, high-quality food needs are met, etc.
These, and every dog, technically should never be kept as an outside dog, or tied up for long periods of time & they need a high level of everyday socialization & being part of the family for one… requiring a LOT of your one on one time/ not crated or coupes up all day, & plenty of daily exercises…
Answer by Kay
I disagree with the above statements. I have a black Russian terrier bitch and she has a reliable temperament and is very sensitive to what is required from her. She learns quickly and is very obedient and very loving.
The one thing you should know though is that the BRT is a companion animal and does not do well if away from its owner, shut in a yard or kennel. The BRT thrives when it can be with its owner. If you can't be at home 85% of the time, then don't get a BRT
Answer by Howa RD
Try the Black Russian Terrier Ethical Breeders Association. This association was formed, as they say, "by a desire amongst a group of breeders to provide a resource for potential puppy purchasers (especially those unfamiliar with either the breed or the breeders they may try to contact), to get honest information on the Black Russian Terrier, the health concerns of the breed, and resources to evaluate any litter that you might be interested in."
