The Karelian Bear Dog is a Bear Hunting Dog





The Karelian Bear Dog averages about 23 inches long and can weigh up to 50 pounds. This breed has a small appetite for the size of dog, and is not recommended for those living in small areas such as an apartment. These dogs love to be outdoors and enjoy running. These are very energetic dogs that need much exercise to keep the energy under control. This breed has small ears that point outwards, and have a dense fur of short hair.





This bear hunting dog has a very distinctive black and white coat that is much unlike the cousin of this breed, the Spitz. Black speckles in the fur are considered to be a fault, because these dogs are primarily black with white marks on the head and neck as well as the chest and legs. A long tail and small eyes are common in this breed, with a robust appearance. This dog is considered very loyal to owner and family, but is not for the casual pet owner because the dog is a hunter and will put a bear into flight or fight mode upon appearance. Any outdoors person or those with dedicated hunting times would love this breed, and those owners should use proper training to control this animal. These dogs are bred to hunt bear, and they are willing to fight any animal therefore training and complete control is required of owners.
