Meet puppy Tony, a gorgeous little black and tan long coat owned by Christina Brasher, of Madison, Alabama. Eventually, the breed description included two varieties – long-and short-haired – which was recognized by the Federation Cynologique Internationale.
After seeing their numbers decimated during the Russian Revolution, breeders reached outside their borders only to discover their ETTs looked nothing like the breed standard, triggering the name change to Russian Toy Terrier.įast forward to the 1950s when a longhaired male appeared in the litter of two smooth-coat Russian Toys. At one point, they were companions of Russian aristocracy and called English Toy Terriers. These impish characters come with a long history and a different name. Along with the Mudi, the Russian Toy is one of two breeds recognized as of January 1. Petite (up to 6 ½ pounds) and personable, it is now fully recognized as a member of the Toy Group after three years in the Miscellaneous Class and AKC companion events such as Agility, Obedience, Rally, Nose Work, Fast Cat, and Tracking. It’s one of the American Kennel Club’s smallest recognized breeds, but the Russian Toy is seldom overlooked with its substance and splash.
