The Karelian Bear Dog is a Finnish spitz breed originally developed for hunting large game, including bears and moose. These medium-sized dogs are courageous, independent, and possess strong hunting drives requiring experienced handling. Karelians are known for their loyalty to family while maintaining natural territorial instincts. They need extensive exercise, mental stimulation, and firm, consistent training from an early age. Their thick black and white coat requires regular grooming during shedding seasons. These working dogs suit active, experienced owners who can provide proper outlets for their considerable energy and drive.
