Russian Toy

The Russian Toy Terrier, formerly a companion of the Russian aristocracy, was almost eradicated in Russia after the Russian Revolution. Once breeders in Russia had access to other dogs outside their country once again though, they discovered that their ETTs had evolved into something different; a distinct look which no longer resembled the English Toy Terriers seen elsewhere. For this reason they decided to rename them ‘Russian Toy Terrier’, or simply ‘the Russian toy’.

The Russian Toy, often mistaken for a Chihuahua due to its miniature size, is an active and amiable breed that was derived from English Toy Terriers. This unique pup comes with either a smooth or long coat which are both effortless to maintain for all owners. With the average weight of only six pounds, it’s no surprise why this rare breed is among one of the tiniest dog breeds out there! Despite their petite stature however, don’t be fooled – these dogs come with plenty of personality!

The Russian Toy Terrier is astoundingly intelligent, which permits it to quickly learn orders. This implies that recall and house training are not often difficult tasks for this breed at all. However, because of their adeptness in picking up behaviors, you must be mindful when dealing with your pup so that they don’t acquire any bad habits.

For those seeking an energetic pup that could be a potential therapy or service dog, as well as participate in sports such as agility and rally, the Russian Toy might just fit your needs. On the other hand, if you are searching for a more relaxed lapdog – this furry friend is not necessarily ideal! Russian Toys tend to enjoy long walks and extended playtime rather than lounging around all day.

If you live in a region with aerial predators like hawks or terrestrial predators such as coyotes and foxes, it’s imperative to keep your Russian Toy supervised while they’re outside. To ensure their safety when you can’t be there, limit their playtime to an enclosed kennel or area. Although the Russian Toy loves running around outdoors, taking these extra precautions will help protect them from harm.

Despite their miniature stature, Russian Toys can be a great choice of pet for families with older children who have been taught how to treat animals kindly. While younger children may unintentionally cause harm due to the small size of these dogs, supervision and guidance is always important. When it comes to other pets, including cats, they are usually amicable companions; however if you already own another dog don’t be astonished if your Russian Toy takes charge as the alpha!

The Russian Toy Terrier is a small-breed pup, meaning that it ideally needs only 30 to 45 minutes of light walking daily in order to maintain happiness and health. With that said, this particular breed is known for its energy levels which are higher than other breeds who share the same size as them. Do not be fooled by their miniature stature: they still require exercise! Additionally, since they’re relatively petite animals–thriving indoors and apartments alike–the Russian Toy Terrier makes an ideal addition to city living families everywhere!

The Russian Toy Terrier is a cinch to groom! Both varieties possess thin coats and don’t necessitate any expert styling. The smooth-haired breed simply needs occasional brushing to get rid of any shed hair, while the long haired kind demands more frequent grooming. With minimal effort, you can keep your pup looking their best at all times!
