Stalin's dog is the youngest of the raised service breeds. In catalogs, it is called the Russian Black Terrier. Its history is calculated not in hundreds of years, but only in decades, but around the black there are already so many stories and myths, sometimes even contradictory, that even those dogs whose roots go back centuries should envy them. So what are the speculations surrounding blackies? Let us dwell on three main ones.
The first myth. Stalin’s dog is a vicious, uncontrollable monster who does not mind having breakfast with passers-by and having dinner with the owner. This dog is bred for killing.The second myth. The black terrier dog is incredibly stupid and should be in the category of decorative dogs, whose fate is to run in the rings and lie on sofas.
Refuting these most common statements, let us return to history.

What does this concept mean? “Universal”, that is, “applied to everything”, in this case - for any type of service. Of course, such a dog should have a very strong nervous system, and excellent health, and good working capacity (endurance). That should have been Stalin's dog. They did it like that. And nature, having appreciated the titanic work of the cynologists of the "Red Star" (the nursery where the breeding work took place), decided to give out its bonus as well: selfless devotion to the owner.Little black is like plasticine, from which you can sculpt everything - and a working dog flying with a black core on the person involved, and an affectionate nanny, and a guide, and a lifeguard. It will not work to make a killer machine, thoughtlessly executing orders, since the black terrier is able to analyze and attack only with a real threat.

Many newcomers rely on this intellect and desire to work, reaping their mistakes, being satisfied only with a “cutter”: “My dog is so clever, it will be enough for him to learn to bite.” But such skills must be manageable and controllable. You must understand that your “boy” is not only an obedient beast, it is also more than 60 kg of muscles, and therefore it is sometimes extremely difficult to keep it. A dog that can only bite is really dangerous, but a dog that has successfully completed training courses is not. That is why no self-respecting instructor will go to the “bite” if before that the dog has not passed at least a course of obedience.An untrained terrier is prone to see a threat in a stumbling person, and a properly trained terrier will first assess the degree of threat. Not only that, you can manage a trained dog, but not an untrained one.
