Hi Megan I am from Victoria. Thanks Blackbelgian It looks like I really need a good luck

Hi! It's me again :) . Thank you for your posts. Now I am looking for a handler for Giant Schnauzer (junior class), we would like to show him from august. As I do not know many people in show world I need a help in my searching. May be someone would like to try to show him?. Please send all your questions into my PM. Thanks!

Thank you Edpra! That was helpful. It is not so difficult to work out the price for petrol, accommodation, grooming and some other expenses,but what about showing the dog in the ring? I am from Europe, and it is normal thing to pay handler for it's job, of course some handlers show dogs for free to get more experience and confidence. But in Europe there are more dog owners involved in dog show world and the interest in professional handlers quiet high. So, they do a job for you and you have to pay for it. The question is what is the average price for showing dog in the ring?

I mean if professional handler will show my dog.

Hi Could you please give me an idea about cost of show handling ( dog from utility group ) I understand that it is very individual, but I would like to know the approximate numbers. Many thanks.

Yes you can get solid black pups from black and tan parents.

Using of conditioner depends on type of coat and are you preparing dog for show or not. If coat is quiet coarse you do not need to use conditioner at all. Some dogs have very coarse coat, this coat is very easy for taking care about it, but for show it is quiet difficult coat and sometimes groomers and breeders use conditioner before show to make coat more softer ( easier for show grooming). For the most of the dogs it is recommended to use mask before bath and use conditioner after bath when you groom dog between shows. When you prepare dog for show do not use conditioner on body, only on legs and beard. Was there a reason that the other colours were ruled out of the breed? With such a strong working background, I would have thought most of those colours would have been fine? becks now it is quiet complicated. One of the problem is in the name of breed, black and tan Black Russian Terrier sounds funny, isn't it? And the biggest question is what to do with black puppies from two black and tan ( for example) parents?

ChristineX :D But remember this dog is not recognised color. BRT can be only black.

this is the same dog at age 6 weeks

Few months ago there was a very hot discussion on Russian forum about a dog with the same color. The question was is it black and silver color or black and tan? As I remember most of the breeders said this is black and tan color. I can find that topic and double check for you but I need few days to do this. There are many non recognised colors in BRT- blue, gray, white, black and tan, airdale's color, sable. Sometimes they can be like this

Food for thought, yes, but this means for me only one thing - do your homework before buy a puppy. As for me, it is more important to see another pups from parents of my future puppy. To see how they move, to know about health in older age. For example father of my dog has HD- C. In age 8-9 years he moves absolutely perfect, his kids( mostly) have no problem with hips. When my girl was growing she had no problems with joint at all. Of course it is also extremely important to keep dogs weight in balance and exercise them regularly, slowly increasing intensity of exercising. So the same rules as for any other dogs of large breed. The gene pool in Australia is very small. About weak nerves, I have seen only few BRT in Australia, and dogs I saw were balanced and self-confident.
