She has published several articles in Canadian and U.S. dog periodicals, including Dogs in Canada magazine.

Jean has also organized five annual BRT Fun Days, numerous breed picnics, and multiple working workshops and seminars across various disciplines. She coordinated official Temperament Tests and CGN evaluations for the Black Russian Terrier and the wider canine community in both Canada and the U.S.

Our owners and breeding partners proudly represent the breed at events like the All About Pets Expo and Royal Winter Fair—offering obedience and carting demos, answering questions, and showcasing the Black Russian Terrier’s strength and versatility.

This commitment ensures the breed is preserved responsibly, with owners who understand and uphold the standards Black Russian Terriers were bred for.

At MidnightSolo, every Black Russian Terrier in our breeding program is officially OFA-tested for hips, elbows, heart, eyes, and patellas.

Each litter is bred and raised with purpose and precision. We incorporate Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), along with select breed appropriate elements from Puppy Culture and Avidog protocols, to build confident, resilient, and well-balanced puppies.

Each puppy is professionally evaluated for structure, temperament, and health before joining their new families—whether for work, sport, show, or as a strong, stable companion.

We are committed to producing Black Russian Terriers that represent the best of the breed—physically, mentally, and genetically.
