About Us
We loveBlack Russian Terriers!
We fell in love with the Black Russian Terrier about 17 years ago. With help from friends, we were able to import our first BRT from Russia, Chigasovo Kennels. That dog is "Thatch", GChB Ya Black Beard Iz Chigasovo, TT CGC. At almost 15 years old, Thatch passed away. His memory remains the center of our hearts and home. 15-OCT-2009 thru 19-MAY-2024. We are so proud of all his accomplishments; his legacy lives on through our breeding program.
Black Russians are great for the active family.
We live an active Southern California lifestyle, and our dogs are included in the many activities we enjoy. They are at home at the beach and in the snow; they enjoy hiking and swimming. They are smart and friendly, and they guard appropriately. Our Black Russian Terriers do not live in kennels; they live in our home as family dogs. Black Beard-bred dogs participate in many sports, including conformation, rally, obedience, scent work, and tracking.
Producing champions and companions.
We do our best to select breeding pairs who exemplify type, temperament, and good health. Our goal is to produce dogs who can help secure the future of healthy Black Russian Terriers while preserving genetic diversity. Young Samson finished his Championship with strong competition and recently completed his CHIC requirements with OFA Good Hips and Normal Elbows (CHIC No. 211680). Owners Frank Johnson and Alfonso Johnson Jr. (AJ) trained, groomed, and showed Samson themselves. Well done!
