Russian Toy Terriers, also known as Russian Terrier, Moscow Toy Terrier, Moscovian Miniature Terrier, Russkiy Toy, are small in stature, but they are energetic, lively characters with the added bonus that they also boast friendly, loving natures, which in short means they make great companions. Russian Toys love nothing more than being in a familiar environment and being included in everything that goes on in a household, and although they are very popular in their native Russia, these little dogs are only just gaining the recognition they deserve in other parts of the world, including the UK.
