Health
Brief Summary
The Black Russian Terrier is in general a healthy breed and lives between 9-14 years. Like any pedigree dog they can be prone to some health problems. But by purchasing your dog from a reputable breeder which health tests and makes sure they are breeding healthy dogs. A good breeder will be able to show you DNA test results for JLPP and HU, Hip and Elbow Scores. Eye and Heart Certificates of both Dam and Sire. If a breeder will not show you these it should be a red flag and you should find another breeder to purchase your pup from.
Breed Specific Illness
HYPERURICOSURIA (HUU)
Hyperuricosuria (HUU) is a genetic condition of excessive uric acid in the Black Russian Terrier resulting in stones being developed in the kidneys or bladder. It is difficult to treat and the removal of the stones is done by surgical intervention.
1. All breeding dogs should be tested to determine their HU status (N/N, N/HU, or HU/HU). Knowing the HU status of the parents will give you an idea of the likelihood of the puppy having HU. If either of the parents is normal (N/N), then you will know that none of the puppies will be affected with this disease. If affected (HU/HU) or carrier (N/HU) dogs are bred to each other, a certain percentage of the puppies can be expected to be affected with HU.
2. The HU test is a cheek swab test and can be done at any age. It is possible that the puppies could be tested before being sold/purchased. It is prudent to ask what the HU status of the parent dogs is to help determine if HU is expected to be present in the puppies.
3. Through selective breeding, producing HU-affected puppies can be avoided. Be sure to know the status of the puppy prior to purchasing and any guarantees the breeder may give regarding HU if the status is not known when the puppy is purchased. Purchasing a puppy of unknown HU status is discouraged. While this disease is treatable, it requires effort and expense for the owner to control. Knowing that HU can be prevented through breeding, BRT breeders have an obligation to inform a puppy purchaser if the puppy is affected by or may be affected by HU. If a breeder will not disclose the HU status of the parent dogs and puppies (if available), we recommend looking elsewhere for a puppy.
