Information Profile
| About the Karelian Bear Dog Breed: |
 Just
like a
Labrador Retriever is born with an affinity for hunting ducks,
Karelian Bear Dogs are born with a keen sense for bears. Bear
hunters have bred Karelian bear dogs for centuries in eastern
Finland and western Russia. A properly trained Karelian bear dog
will guard homes, camps, and people by warning bears away.The
Karelian Bear Dog is the big-game hunting canine of the Finnish
people. Huntsmen use the dog to hunt bear, elk, moose, deer and
wolf. The breed originated in the area of northern Europe known as
Karelia and the isolation and remoteness of eastern Finland ensured
that the breed remained relatively untouched until the 20th century.
World War II nearly put an end to the breed but dedicated
enthusiasts set out to re-establish this intelligent and courageous
hunter.
Karelian Bear Dogs are handsome descendants of elk hounds with
the body of a Siberian Husky, right
down to the curlicue tail. Adults weigh about 50 pounds. Most of
them are dairy cow black-and-white with intense eyes that peer
through a raccoon-like mask of black. |
