John Cadman
John Cadman lives in Bellingham, Washington. Bellingham is in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, some 20 miles from the Canadian border. Bellingham is home of Mt. Baker, famous for the record snow fall in the continental US and home of snowboarders and skiers alike.
John has a background as a maritime engineer. A secondary “calling” has been Ancient Egypt. His research is featured in books by Edward Malkowski and John DeSalvo PhD.
In 1997, John acquired his first Giant Schnauzer and Rottweiler. He became interested in the Black Russian Terriers after they had an enormous Giant Schnauzer (32″) that was 1/2 BRT. After losing his Giant Schnauzers and Rotteweiler in a house fire, he decided to get the best of the Giant and Rottie – the Black Russian Terrier.
John spent his formative years in the Bering Sea king crab industry. Here he’s seen next to the F/V Retriever in an ice pack. This boat was featured in season 1 of “Deadliest Catch”.

Black Russian Terrier History
The Black Russian Terrier is a new page in the National cynology, written in gold letters. Many cynologists (dog breeding scientist) refuse to even recognize it as a breed, considering it a mere breed group. However, this so-called “breed group” has its own standard, genealogical tree, and one common recognized ancestor – Giant Schnauzer Roy. The dog’s exhibition rating is exceedingly high, which makes the talk of not recognizing it a breed at least absurd. The history of breeding the Russian terrier is complex, interesting, and somewhat mysterious in places, since many more breeds had been involved in the composition of the Russian terrier’s makeup than previously thought. So what kind of breed is the Russian Terrier, the breed nicknamed “Russian pearl”, “KGBist”, “Beria dog”, or, to put it more gently, “Blackie”?
