The Black Russian Terrier developed by the former Russian Red Army to guard military installations etc which required a dog able to work independently and to withstand various climatic conditions. The breed was created by crossing the Airedale, Giant Schnauzer and the Rottweiler. The Giant Schnauzer for its intelligence and quick reactions; the Airedale for its leadership, temperament and stamina; the Rottweiler for its firm stature and fearlessness. The Giant Schnauzer contributed the most to its appearance.
