This wonderful breed has an extraordinary carisma, is higly intelligent, learns fast, is easy to train, it is hard working and reliable. But it has got a mind of its own and can be stubborn.

It is a great working dog , and is used for many different types of dog sports, such as obedience, tracking and many more, it is a great   show dog, guard dog, military and police dog. Some are also used as rescue dogs or terapi dogs. They where breed by the Russian military in the years of late 40 and  middle of 50 in the kennel named Red Star, the Russian military needed a working dog that they could use for many purposes, and that could work in different climatic conditions. The dog was used to guard prisoners and other military tasks.

 Blackies are extremly lojal, very affectionate and loving to its owner and family members, its precence leaves nobody untouched, it is very calm, balanced, confident and friendly. It adapts easy to different situasjons and enviroments. 

They are strongly connected to the owner, and should not be left alone for a long period of time. They are not suitable for living in kennels. Blackies do not need a big house and a big garden, they can be happy living in a smaller space, as long as they get enough exersice and mental stimulasjon.

The breed is suspicious to strangers,  and they demand respect for themselves, they do not like familiarity.
