The breeding stock was largely imported from countries where the Red Army was active during the Second World War, especially East Germany . Breeds used in the development include the Giant Schnauzer, Airedale Terrier, Rottweiler, Newfoundland, Caucasian Shepherd Dog and other breeds . BRT were bred for working ability, rather than appearance, and early examples only resembled today's Black Russian Terrier in their build and coat type . The BRT was bred solely by the state owned Red Star Kennel in Moscow until 1957, when some puppies were sold to civilian breeders . These breeders began to breed for looks (as the original was rather plain) while retaining working ability . In time, the breed spread to the other parts of USSR like Saint Petersburg, Siberia, Ukraine and later to the first European country Finland and next to the other European countries: Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Germany and finally to the United States, Canada, Australia and others . </P>
