The Russian toy is a breed with nearly wiped out twice; first following in the 1920s with the rise of Communism due to the toy dog’s traditional link to the aristocracy and secondly in the 1990s with the influx of foreign breeds following the fall of the Iron Curtain. The smooth haired type is the older of the two, with the long haired type first appearing in 1958.
