Personality: The Black Russian Terrier has an independent personality but can be loyal to its owners if given proper training and socialization from an early age. They are intelligent dogs that need mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy; they enjoy activities such as agility training or obedience classes to keep them active mentally as well as physically.

Friendliness with Other Dogs/Animals/Children: With proper socialization from an early age, the Black Russian Terriers can get along well with other animals including cats if introduced slowly over time; however they may still have some prey drive so it’s important to monitor interactions between them carefully when introducing them to new animals or children who may seem like prey items due to their size difference compared to other pets in your home (such as smaller dogs).
