Karelian Bear Dog Breeders

This breed originated near the borders of Russia and Finland where farmers use it to hunt a variety of game.  The Karelian Bear's short, thick coat is in all black or black with white markings.  It can weigh up to 65 pounds and measure 24 inches in height .  It is not recommended as a house dog or for living in a city setting, as it requires a lot of open space to roam. These dogs have a good sense of humor and are sensitive, independent, intelligent and energetic.  They are very loyal and make good household companions and watchdogs.  Persistent and powerful, an owner must be capable of handling these dogs.  Proper training and socialization are absolute musts.  Bear Dogs have small appetites for their size.  Exercise at least one hour a day or they could be destructive. Grooming needs are minimal.  Like other Artic dogs, they have no doggie odor.  These dogs weigh 44 to 50 lbs. and stand 19-23" at the shoulders.  Contact the dog breeders below for your next family friend.
