Karelian Bear Dog

Detail Breeders Pictures Comments Books Other Resources  

  Description:
Karelian Bear Dogs are owned and bred in Canada, America and other European countries as well as Russia and Finland. Owners emphasize they are a working breed and must have plenty of exercise, and that the dogs are most happy when owned by an outdoor enthusiast. Most are housed outside to keep them acclimated to the colder temperatures. They are tough and independent, but form a strong bond with their owner. These characteristics make them sharp guard dogs. The breed is aggressive with other dogs and will fight an intruder—human or canine—to the death, if need be. The Karelian does not make a good pet for those unable to control him. Training, socialization and leash control in public are advised.
