This blog is my open notebook: part journal, part blueprint, part love letter to the Black Russian Terrier—including the ones who wear their legacy in color. I ask the hard questions because I care deeply about getting it right. I don’t have all the answers yet—but I’m not afraid to look for them. This is where I share what I learn, what I challenge, and what I choose to build, one dog at a time. I believe in transparency, in doing the work, and in building something that lasts. If you love dogs with purpose and pigment, you’re in the right place.
