Here at Russian Bear Kennels our mission is to import and breed world class Black Russians. In order for this to happen the dogs must have these three attributes in common: type, temperament and soundness. If a breeder intends to breed dogs of high quality that consistently win in the show ring and perform the jobs they were originally bred to perform, their dogs mu

st possess all three. These are not a breed for the masses but they are a breed for the discerning, who are willing to adopt a new member into the family - not just "purchase" a pet.

If there’s been one constant I’ve seen over all these years of training dogs, it’s this sad reality.

Well intentioned, but misinformed owners who want their dogs to be “happy”, but don’t realize what truly makes dogs happy create precisely the opposite of their goal.

Perhaps they’ve been misguided by positive-only/force-free training professionals, or they’ve simply followed their superficial emotional compasses (this feels good to ME and my dog looks happy IN THIS MOMENT) — but wherever it comes from, these owners end up being permissive, enabling, discipline-free caretakers who create dogs who are chaotic, problematic, horribly behaved creatures with inevitably small lives.

These dogs go on fewer or no walks because their pulling and reactivity is overwhelming. They cant be taken to an outdoor cafe or coffee shop because they bark and lunge at people and dogs. They only go for rides in the car when it’s absolutely necessary because they bark and pace incessantly. They can’t go for on-leash hikes because they’re even worse in tight spaces than they are on regular walks. They have to be kenneled or locked away in another room when guests are over because they’re either too chaotic and annoying, or they’re actually dangerous. And forget about any off-leash excursions — because not only are these dogs unpredictable behavior wise, but once off-leash, they’ll be long gone, and who knows if you’ll get them back?

Some happiness.

The truth is this. Poorly behaved dogs have very small, and often very isolated lives. The stuff they most want — the stuff that truly makes them happy, is to be with you and do things with you. But their behavior (which came from your behavior) makes this happiness impossible.

On the other hand, well behaved dogs; dogs who are polite, predictable, and enjoyable, have big, included, truly happy lives. They go anywhere and everywhere with their owners, and their joy and fulfillment is obvious.

The irony of all this is that the stuff which truly makes dogs happy, and gives them access to far bigger, and included lives, is precisely the stuff so many are loathe to share. You’ve heard it all before: the rules, the structure — and yes the accountability (aka negative consequences) that makes the rules actual rules rather than suggestions, and makes the structure firm and reliable.

But that stuff makes dogs unhappy for the moment, and that momentary unhappiness makes owners unhappy. And so humans, being humans, we choose the option that creates a nice short-term feeling, but a longterm unhappiness, and we avoid the option that creates short-term discomfort but enables a longterm true happiness.

And who pays? Well, the trite response is: your dog. But the real answer is: both of you.

Discipline equals freedom, inclusion, and happiness. The lack of it creates the precise opposite. But you know that.

I’ve always said that the loudest voices who oppose tools and training which enable dogs to live the biggest, happiest, and healthiest lives, aren’t advocating for the dogs, they’re advocating for their own emotions… at the cost of the dogs.

Boy meets dad

I start crate training puppies early because I send them home crate trained and started on house breaking so their new mommy and daddy and family can sleep at night so during the day they are taking their morning and afternoon naps and crates I pair them up I put them in a Singleton's I put them in different crates being wire plastic aluminum Etc so they are adapted and adjusted to the different noises each crates make and of course Lulu is by herself and of course she is the loudest and most indignant everyone else is sleeping she is still complaining she came into this world very loud and she is going to maintain that status LOL but we do naps at this moment because it is the least amount of time so they get adjusted to being in the crate then when they wake up for their afternoon or morning play times they go play as normal and they will sleep as normal and the next week they will start being crated at night once they're used to being longer and longer in their crates during the day. Again this is so that they can go into their new families and fit in not keep everyone awake because they've never been separated from their siblings or crate-trained

The babies go from Mommy to the food using their noses they share their pen with the cats lol they use their litter boxes quite well they are getting ready to start crate training in the next few days very nice big babies great temperaments

4 brt 4 week old puppies 2 maine coons and a balonka lol

I post videos of puppies eating because it's important and seeing how the puppies react to food respond to sense such as smell Etc because this tells me temperament you can learn a lot from watching when puppies eat and these puppies I caught from a dead sleep before they realize the food was in the pen

The babies are getting big I change their footing and bedding so they gain Mobility and Agility without being on slick surfaces such as sheets or puppy pads they are becoming very active personalities are coming through LOL

The babies are getting bigger eating more slurping Lots LOL
