Karelian Bear Dog Breed Information

Karelian bear dogs are a Finnish breed bred with a very particular task in mind. Over the years they have been bred into bold hunters courageous enough to scare bears away from their homes.

Across the world, this dog has been recognized for its unique ability to protect whatever animal it’s been tasked to watch over, whether human or livestock. This dog is deeply protective over its tribe and is not overly sociable with other animals, showing signs of being a naturally aggressive dog, so will require socialization and a firm hand from an early age.

While this doesn’t make them ideal for a first-time owner, if you can put the work in and handle their temperament you’ll have a loyal, loving companion for life.
