15. Black Russian Terriers Are Powerful
Even though Black Russian Terriers might look a bit shaggy, they’re really strong. Even though they’re full of energy, they can be calm if they exercise enough. They’re a bit bossy, but that’s because they’re big and tough, which can be scary for strangers if they aren’t trained well. People made these dogs to be guards, so they’re confident and tough.
They’re not immediately friendly to new people because they’re careful, which comes from their guarding background. But if they need to, they’ll show they’re in charge without hesitation.
So, Black Russian Terriers are a mix of interesting qualities – tough yet gentle, dominant but watchful. This mix comes from their job as protectors, and it means they can switch between being a strong protector and a loving friend easily.
