The Black Russian Terrier was developed in the 50s of the XX century as an answer to the need for a military dog, which would satisfy strict requirements of the Russian military force. The army wanted a large canine that could be able to carry out both guarding and watching duties. It was essential for the breed to be ferocious but still controllable as it was intended to work in prison camps and military installations. Moreover it would need to be resistible to hostile and unstable Russian climate. The implementation of such a large scale breeding project was entrusted to the Central Military School of Working Dogs, better known as the «Red Star» kennel.
