Black Beard Black Russian Terriers

Black Beard Black Russian Terriers, based in Winchester, California, breeds black Russian terriers for both the show ring and companion homes. Christine Robinson, the breeder and owner behind the kennel, operates out of the Inland Empire region of Southern California, roughly an hour southeast of Riverside.

The program traces its roots back approximately 17 years to when Robinson imported the kennel's foundation dog, "Thatch" (GChB Ya Black Beard Iz Chigasovo, TT CGC), directly from Chigasovo Kennels in Russia. A recognized AKC Breeder of Merit and member of the Black Russian Terrier Club of America, the kennel places a strong emphasis on preserving older bloodlines while maintaining genetic diversity across the breed.

Black Russian terrier puppies from Black Beard are raised in the home rather than in kennels, participating in everyday life alongside the family. The dogs regularly take part in conformation, rally, obedience, scent work, and tracking. Breeding pairs are selected with attention to type, temperament, and comprehensive health testing, including all parent-club-recommended OFA screenings and Embark DNA testing. The kennel's dogs carry multiple AKC Registers of Merit and Register of Merit Excellent designations, and Black Beard-bred dogs have earned AKC championships handled from the Bred-by Exhibitor class. For those searching for black Russian terrier puppies in California from a preservation-focused program, Black Beard represents one of the more established options in the region.
