Jean’s 1st encounter with BRTs occurred in the late 70s in Moscow. She was so impressed with the raw power, magnificent presence and willingness to obey the owner’s wishes; she took a picture of her young brother with these 2 BRTS
Many years later we started our search for a non –shedding breed that could possibly be trained as personal mobility assistance dog for Troy and be a great companion to for the whole family.
We got our 1st Blackie in2003. Rusah was the female pick of the litter for learning aptitude, working ability, temperament and structure. Our mentors, Bernie and Lana, professional dog trainers made 3 trips with us to see the litter Rusah came from; to make sure we would get the pup that matched our goals and expectations. Did she ever!
Rusah is a wonderful ambassador for the breed, an intelligent, gorgeous female with stable temperament. She is the most titled versatile working BRT in North America. Rusah is also a conformation champion of 6 clubs, Certified Mobility assistance dog and has proven herself as a great brood bitch.
It would be an understatement to tell you that we are in love with this breed. Our BRTs are very important part of the family and are first and foremost well-loved companions. They receive the love, attention, exercise and training that they require and deserve. Blackies do best living with their human family, bonding with each member to become irreplaceable friends, companion and protectors. |
