If it's not a Black Russian Terrier, it's just a dog
|
The Kennel Willa Taira was found in 1995, when our very first litter was born. The founder of the kennel was my mother - Ewa Spotan. Our motto always was, is and going to be ''Quality not Quantity", hence our dogs, are from well potentially well considered litters. It is very important for us to not only to show the exterior of our dogs, but also their psychic abilities. We strive to show all the dogs from our kennel Willa Taira, but it is not that easy. |

Funt Bogmar Traper (Brutus) |
And that is how it all started: First dog came to our house in 1990 and it was not a BRT but a Giant Schnauzer: Funt Bogmar Traper, home name Brutus. Buying him we were not thinking about shows whatsoever. We just wanted him to be our friend and protector. Brutus was growing up, getting prettier and prettier everyday, and the shows were more and more tempting... And finally... We went to our first show when Brutus was more than 2 years old, and we just wanted to see what this show bug is all about. Surprisingly, it appeared that we owe quite handsome representative of the breed - and that is how our show adventure has started! |
|
3 years later first BRT came to our house. Her name was Taira (Tiurma z Runowa) and she was with us 11 year. Although buying Taira we were thinking about the shows none of us expected serious dog breeding in future. Taira literally conquered our hearts with her wonderful, well-balanced, strong character, moreover, it appeared that her anatomy is excellent. Our success was immense. This way one day we were ripe for our own kennel. Our love to Taira was so big that we wanted her to become a happy mum, leaving us her beutiful puppies. Taira will always stay with us through her children and grandchildren, and her name became a name of our kennel for whenever it exists. |

We did not even notice falling in love with BRTs, and BRT breeding is now a passion of a lifetime. The Willa Taira kernel would never achieve such a
success without the help of our two friends: Edyta Kordowiecka and Tomek
Olkowski. One day we decided to join forces and breed these wonderful dogs
together. Our vision of the black terrier is similar, we also share goals and
the love for Willa Taira blackies. In June 2004 my mom passed away. With
her departure I also lost a friend and a fellow breeder - a person with
extensive knowledge of the breed and a true talent for grooming. It was not easy
without her and many expected this kernel to end. One can always count on "friendly"
competition. Even at the hardest times they never let it go. At the same time we
would like to thank all those who supported us in that trying period. Our
friends have given us plenty of support, help and warmth, convincing us that "we
can make it". And then... I hope my mom is watching us from above, proud despite all the things, because whatever we do - we do for her !! We invite you all, the many BRT fans, please do exchange with us any information you have to offer about this beautiful breed. Please, write us! |
