| HELLO AND WELCOME TO WYOMING KARELIANS. WE RAISE AND TRAIN KARELIAN BEAR DOGS, A RARE BREED OF DOG IN THE U.S., BUT VERY COMMON IN FINLAND AND RUSSIA (KARELIA IS A STATE ON THE RUSSIAN/FINNISH BORDER AND IS NOW CONSIDERED RUSSIA). THE KARELIAN BEAR DOG IS A VERY ACTIVE OUTDOOR DOG. THEY REQUIRE LOTS OF EXERCISE AND LOVE NOTHING BETTER THAN TO BE OUTDOORS WITH THEIR MASTER. THIS BREED OF DOG IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE POPULAR IN THE UNITED STATES AS MORE BEAR/HUMAN CONFLICTS ARISE. MOST PEOPLE WOULD THINK THEY ARE A VERY LARGE, ROUGH DOG. THE TRUTH IS, BY LOOKING AT ONE, YOU WOULD NEVER GUESS THAT THIS ANIMAL IS CAPABLE OF PROTECTING YOU FROM A LARGE CARNIVORE. THEY ARE QUICK, STRONG AND AGILE. MOST KARELIANS BEAR DOGS ARE BETWEEN 45 AND 55 POUNDS, BUT LARGER MALES MAY GO UP TO 70 POUNDS. THEY ARE VERY FRIENDLY WITH PEOPLE AND CHILDREN. THEY BECOME VERY DEVOTED TO THEIR MASTER AND FAMILY AND WILL PROTECT THEM FIERCELY. THEY BECOME VERY PROTECTIVE OF THEIR HOME AREA, FOOD, CAMPS AND VEHICLES. THIS IS THEIR NATURE. THEIR GREATEST INSTINCT IS TO PROTECT ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR OWNER. ANY ANIMAL FROM A SQUIRREL TO A GRIZZLY BEAR WILL BE DEALT WITH BY A KARELIAN BEAR DOG IF THAT ANIMAL APPEARS TOO CLOSE TO THE DOG'S MASTER OR PROPERTY. A KARELIAN BEAR DOG WILL ALWAYS BARK WHEN SOMEONE VISITS YOUR HOUSE. THIS IS ALSO THEIR NATURE, TO WARN YOU OF POSSIBLE HARM. FRIEND OR FOE ARE BOTH ANNOUNCED. WE HAVE RAISED SEVERAL BREEDS OF HUNTING DOGS AND THE KARELIAN BEAR DOG IS BY FAR THE MOST VERSATILE HUNTING/FAMILY DOG WE HAVE SEEN. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN KNOWN FOR THEIR OBEDIANCE WORK, THEY ARE VERY, VERY INTELLIGENT ANIMALS. THEY ARE VERY INDEPENDANT, AND REQUIRE WORK AND TRAINING FOR CONTROL IN THE FIELD. THE KARELIAN BEAR DOG HAS A DISPOSITION MUCH LIKE THE AIRDALE, VERY FAMILY ORIENTED AND PROTECTIVE. MOOSE HUNTING IS A GREAT SPORT IN THEIR NATIVE LAND AND THE KARELIAN BEAR DOG IS TOP MOOSE DOG. THEY WILL HUNT ANYTHING YOU TRAIN THEM FOR. THEY HAVE A GREAT TRAILING NOSE AND LOVE TO TREE AS MUCH AS ANY COONHOUND. KARELIAN BEAR DOGS ARE BECOMING VERY POPULAR WITH HUNTERS WHO ARE INTEGRATING THEM WITH THEIR COON/BEAR/BOAR HOUNDS HERE IN THE U.S. AND CANADA. THEY ARE UNMATCHED NATURAL SQUIRREL DOGS, NO TRAINING IS REQUIRED. THE KARELIAN HAS BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES TO HUNT BEAR, MOOSE, SQUIRREL, BIRDS, RABBIT AND WILD BOAR. THEY ARE FANTASTIC COMPANION DOGS. OUR DOGS ARE WORKING DOGS, IN THE FIELD PROVING THEMSELVES YEAR ROUND. CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL BREED OF DOG. |
