Caring for a Karelian Bear Dog

Health

Generally a healthy, hardy breed with few widely-documented predispositions.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's genuinely demanding hunting-dog energy level.

Grooming

The double coat needs regular brushing, more during seasonal shedding.

Training

Genuinely independent and bred to work at a distance from hunters without direct guidance — this is a serious working breed best suited to an experienced owner with a real job for the dog.

About the breed

A Finnish breed developed to hunt large game including bear, moose, and boar by fearlessly holding it at bay with barking.

Independent and fearless, Karelian Bear Dogs are considered a national treasure in Finland but need serious purpose in a companion home.
