Northern Lights BRTs

Northern Lights BRTs Black Russian Terrier devotees, owners, and future breeders (2020)

04/26/2025

One of my owners of a girl they got just about two years ago called, fighting tears. She has had an accident, and they are talking possible amputation. She does not feel she can now take proper care of her "Rose" and needs to rehome her. Well trained, well socialized, good with her grandkids, loved by groomer. Already spayed. Located in SoCA area. If you are interested, please comment below so we can talk. NOTE: BRTs are NOT like Labradors or Goldens, they are working "guard/military" dogs and thus need an experienced owner. We would take her back, except that we already have 5 at home and 6 might be just a bit too much. This is a video the owners sent when the first got the pup(s) home, June 2023.

Well, Kat is making us wait for her. She has never been very "regular" so when she decides she is ready she will let us know. In the meantime, the full registered name of the "father to be" of her next litter is:
GCH Sparta-Naissur I'm No One To Be Trifled With.
He's all over Facebook!

WELL, paid an additional stud fee for "Dread" (I forgot his registered name, I'll get that shortly. He is a GCH ) and now patiently waiting for Kat to come back into heat. Hang in there folks!!

From the AKC Breeders page, and I sincerely hope you understand I fully support their language:
"The purchase of a well-bred purebred did not sentence another dog to death.
The purchase of a well-bred purebred did not cause an increase in the number of dogs in shelter.
Someone wanting a dog with a predictable temperament from healthy lineage did not cause another dog to not get adopted.
Someone's meticulous research and support of only the most responsible of breeders is not the problem. It is not what you should be mad at. It is not what you should be pushing the blame onto.
I am not the one who brought these dogs into the world irresponsibly and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders are not the ones who put dogs into shelters either.
It is my home, my life, and my choice of what kind of dog to bring into it. I choose hounds decades ago. Other friends may have chosen sporting dogs or working dogs...whatever. No matter the reason, the choice to support a reputable breeder did not send a shelter dog to its death.
I am a breeder who does health testing, temperament testing,, studies pedigrees, proves a dog worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed ans it is not contributing to the number of homeless dogs.
The number of homeless dogs in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable breeders and those who purchase from them.
Your neighbor down the street who refuses to contain his unaltered dogs IS contributing to the problem.
Your friend whose impulse bought a dog at Pet Land IS contributing to the problem.
That guy on Craigslist pumping out the trendiest designer mix as fast as he can IS contributing to the problem.
Your relative who just HAS to let their dog have one litter “so she can experience motherhood” or because “she’s just so sweet” IS contributing to the problem.
Your old high school classmate who bought a high energy working breed without taking the time to research its needs and realized it was not a good fit for their household ahead of time IS contributing to the problem.
A reputable breeder offers their lifelong support.
A reputable breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter.
A reputable breeder makes it a contractual obligation to return dogs they have produced back to them should you find yourself unable of keeping it.
It is understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but the blame should not be placed on the reputable breeders!"

Sorry for the lack of posts. With Katerina not taking in March for a litter and my missing the Boise show due to abdominal issues, there hasn't been much to talk about since the Coeur d'Alene show back at Memorial weekend. Hopefully the New Year will see more activity. Have a great winter. (Snow has shown up here yesterday, then turned to rain. The pack loves snow, rain not so much.)

Took the young ones to the CdA dog show over Memorial day weekend. Didn't place but very proud of how well behaved they were, willing to interact with other strangers, not fearful, very forward.

Katerina has been bred, to CH Naissur's Hit Me Like A Hurricane (Harvey) - on March 20. Now we wait to April 28 to see the ultrasound....

Did the ultrasound today 23rd, no puppies showing at 4+ weeks. Very unfortunate considering how easily Kat took her last two pregnancies. Sorry folks, no litter coming this year it appears .

To the gentleman who called me several weeks back looking for a male BRT.... please call me I unfortunately have misplaced your number.

Finally, a somewhat clean puppy and a few minutes! Petrushka last night. Sprouting like a typical kid, all legs.

I not only remember, but for a while I "assisted" my brother when he was the only one at the "gas station" by pumping the gas for the customers (he paid me in sodas and moon-pies)

There was one outside the Safeway store I would walk to as a child (it was about 1 1/2 to 2 miles from my home) when maybe 4 or 5. I would save my allowance and "chore money" (pulling weeds, cleaning living room, etc.) so I could ride it. Did that until I found a pasture full of REAL horses I could sneak rides on.

YES! If you don't value your dog (or cat or whatever pet you have) enough to move them with you, you should not have gotten that bundle of love in the first place!

Say it loud for the folks in the back ! 😂

Sorry no updates recently, have been very busy with puppies, new owners, and regular chores. BUT got these: the video is of what happens when I ask the puppies if they need to "go potty", please excuse my fat ass. The picture is of the aftermath exhaustion after the puppies waged war on the we**ee pad (it put up one good fight).

And the following rant is why I have stopped listening in to the BRTCA monthly meetings, the disconnect with reality and...

And the following rant is why I have stopped listening in to the BRTCA monthly meetings, the disconnect with reality and the self-serving attitude instead of concern for the breed and club is heart wrenching.

I so love it when an applicant for a puppy (who applied, seemed great and paid a deposit back in early March, before the litter was born) does not respond to you for some length of time and then finally, after you call them, inform you that they cannot proceed with getting their puppy after all. Would have been nice to know a good month ago. SO: "Brown Collar Boy" is now available again.
