Boris
It all started with "Boris". Back in 2007 it was very difficult to find a quality Black Russian Terrier. There was also a very long wait for any BRT puppy. In early 2007, we put a deposit down on a puppy from a litter that was expected nine months later. This was the most excruciating wait we could imagine, as we were also "dogless" for the first time in our lives. Then we got a phone call from a breeder telling us that they were willing to release a male from their breeding program to us, as long as we showed him in conformation. We had never done that before and had no interest in showing dogs at that time, but we also knew we could not stand to wait nine more months, so we agreed. Boris was ours! We named him "Over the Moon About Borislav" because that is exactly what we were!
We started showing Boris when he was eight months old and took him to a few of the local shows and before we knew it he was beating the champions for Best of Breed, earned his AKC Championship, his National and International Championships and was ranked 13th in the Nation in his first year of showing! (his
sire and dam were ranked 1 and 4 that year). We decided that maybe if we really
tried, we could do even better, and then realized that we really did have one of
the top Black Russians in America!
Boris won an AKC Best In Show in Biloxi, MS in May of 2009 and was the
first, and ONLY, American born Black Russian Terrier to ever do so. Boris remained one of the top Black Russians in the nation for the rest of his show career and was #1 for the majority of 2010. He was invited to, and showed at, the Westminster Dog Show in February 2011, after which, he retired to make puppies.
Boris' favorite activities include chasing and retrieving his ball, swimming, doing water rescue with his Newfie buddies, meeting people and just hanging out with us. He is the best dog we could have ever asked for and is loved more than you can imagine and has truly changed our lives forever.
Both Boris and Galla have been fully health tested and have their CHIC Certifications.
OFFA results and Certificates for Hips, Elbows, Patellas, Thyroid, Cardiac and CERF and HU are published on the OFFA Databse. Both Boris and Galla have been Temperament tested, passed with flying colors, and both have their TT titles.
Both have beautiful temperaments and are tremendously well rounded.
