Sparta Black Russian Terrier breeder, located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, is a breeding partnership between Emily Foster and Jean Tuggle that solely breeds quality Black Russian Terriers. We take great pride in what we are working to achieve, and we truly love this magnificent breed.

We are sometimes goofy and playful, sometimes serious, and always passionate about our dogs and our breeding program. We bring over a decade of combined experience to the breed and over 2 decades of experience in multiple facets of animal husbandry and competition.

We believe community involvement is a very important part of what we do. We are proud and active members of the Black Russian Terrier Club of America. Emily is an active member of the Linn County Kennel Club and Jean is an active member of the Mount Rainier Working Dog Club. We are AKC Breeders of Merit and participate in the AKC Bred with Heart program. Sparta Black Russians have raised and bred multiple AKC Champions, Grand Champions, and beyond, as well as achieved a variety of other titles.
