The Russkiy Toy
The Russkiy Toy (also commonly called the Russian Toy) is a very small breed of dog originally bred in Russia from the English Toy Terrier. They come in two types, smooth haired/coated and long haired, which were known by a variety of names until brought together under the same standard as the Russkiy Toy in 2000. The breed was nearly wiped out twice, first following in the 1920s with the rise of Communism due to the toy dog's link with the aristocracy and secondly in the 1990s with the influx of foreign breeds following the fall of the Iron Curtain.
