Many Championship, Premier Open and Open Shows offer classes for Russian Black Terriers in the Working Group. However, the number of classes offered can vary from show to show and year to year. If no RBT Breed Classes are on offer, RBTs can enter AVNSC (Any Variety Not Separately Classified) classes. Since the RBT is classified by the Kennel Club as a Rare Breed, RBTs may also enter Rare Breed classes if offered.
