About Karelian Bear Dog
The Karelian Bear Dog is a strong and enduring hunting dog, particularly suited for work in dense forests. It shows a high degree of independence while still being loyal to its owner. These dogs are alert and brave but require consistent training and sufficient activity. Due to their strong hunting drive, they are less suitable as purely family dogs but are well suited to active people with experience handling hunting dogs.
