Uusi rotumääritelmä
FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) hyväksyi venäjäntoyn virallisten rotujen listalle ja myönsi molemmille karvanlaaduille CACIB -oikeudet syksyllä 2017. Tämän muutoksen myötä RKF (Russian Kynological Federation) valmisteli rodulle uuden rotumääritelmän yhteistyössä Venäjän rotuyhdistyksen ja FCIn kanssa. Englanninkielinen rotumääritelmä virallistettiin joulukuussa 2017. SKL (Suomen Kennelliitto) valmistelee rotumääritelmän suomenkielistä käännöstä ja sen pitäisi valmistua vuoden 2018 aikana.
Julkaisemme uuden suomenkielisen rotumääritelmän sivuillamme heti kun Suomen Kennelliitto julkaisee virallisen hyväksytyn version käännöksestä.

BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: At the beginning of the 20th century, the English Toy Terrier was one of the most popular toy dogs in Russia. However, in the period 1920 – 1950 the breeding of pure toy terriers was almost stopped and the number of dogs fell to a critical level. Only in the mid-fifties did Russian dog-breeders begin the revival of the breed. Practically all dogs which were used for breeding had no pedigrees; many of them were not pure blood. The Standard drafted for Toy Terriers significantly differed from that of the English Toy Terrier in many aspects. From this moment, the evolution of the breed in Russia went its own way.
On the 12th of October, 1958 two smooth-haired dogs, one of which had slightly longer hair, gave birth to a male dog with a spectacular fringes on ears and limbs. It was decided to keep this feature. The male was mated with a female which also had slightly long hair. Thus the longhaired variety of the Russian Toy appeared. It was called Moscow Longhaired Toy Terrier.
A dog breeder from Moscow, Yevgueniya Fominichna Zharova, played an important role in the creation of this breed variant.
It was during a long period of development, in an isolated context, along with a specifically conducted selection that a new breed was created : the Russian Toy with two coat varieties: longhaired and smooth-haired.
