Russkiy Toy - Russian Toy - Formerly the Russian Toy Terrier
Welcome to our Website and home of Russian toy "terriers", the Russkiy Toy, in Ireland.
Updated October 2009
Our Russkiy Toys, the first registered in Ireland, comprise imported lines from Lithuania, Belarus and Russia. They share our home with our Abyssinian, Burmese & Singapura Cats, two Great Danes and veteran Jack Russell Terrier in Dublin. While we breed and show, our four-legged family members are first and foremost our pets and companions.

The Russkiy Toy, formerly known as the Russian Toy Terrier or Moscow Toy Terrier, is a tiny breed similar in size to and often smaller than the Chihuahua.
The breed was developed in Russia as a unique companion breed that had all the qualities of a larger dog without significant food, space and exercise requirements. Ideal for people who do not have access to a garden, these little dogs can be toilet trained to use a litter tray.
Two Varieties exist, the original Russian toy terrier; the smooth-haired
and the long-haired.
All our Russkiy Toys are the smooth-haired variety.
Our Affix "HOTRATZ" and our Russkiy Toys are registered with the Irish Kennel Club, affiliated with FCI
