About the Russian Toy

The Russian Toy is one of those breeds that surprises people the moment they actually meet one. They look fragile but carry themselves with a boldness that is completely at odds with their tiny frame. Developed in Russia from the English Toy Terrier, these dogs were bred for companionship and they take that job seriously, bonding deeply with their people and staying engaged with everything happening around them. The long-coated variety turns heads with those signature ear fringes, while the smooth coat has a clean, athletic look that shows off those distinctly fine-boned legs. They are smart, quick to learn, and full of personality without being demanding in the way some toy breeds can be. Still relatively uncommon in the United States, Russian Toy owners tend to be devoted advocates for the breed, eager to share what makes these little dogs so worth knowing. This collection is for everyone who gets it.

Personality: Cheerful, intelligent, affectionate, keen, elegant, lively
