Black Russian Terrier

The Black Russian Terrier was created by the Russian army for use as a guard dog in climates with extremely cold temperatures. The hair on the head falls over the eyes and on the face forms a mustache and beard. His double coat comes only in black or black with a few gray hairs scattered throughout.
