Karelian Bear Dogs

Family Friendly Breeders

Welcome to Rocky Mountain Karelian Bear Dogs! We are a family living in central Montana. We have owned KBDs for three years. When we got our first Karelian Bear Dog we fell in love with our dog's, loyalty, friendliness, energy, and eagerness to hunt and protect. 

We love our Karelians and hope to share the love of these dogs with you! We are dedicated to finding loving homes for all our puppies. To learn more about us, go to the “About” section on our website! 

About Us

Healthy Bloodline

Our Karelian Bear Dogs are purebred and they come from an ancestry of Finnish, and Swedish Karelian Bear Dog hunters. They are known for their aggressiveness towards unwanted predators and their gentleness towards owners and friends. 

About Karelian Bear Dogs

 

The Pros and Cons of Karelian Bear Dogs


Pros:
 

  • Health- No health issues as a breed (i.e., hip dysplasia, cancer, etc.) Of course, dogs are individuals and could have a health problems, but it is much less likely.


  • Highly intelligent- This can actually be good and bad. Karelian Bear Dogs learn things quickly, which is good for training, but they also use their intellect to find ways to escape and get into mischief.


  • Loyal and protective - Karelians love their families and look at them as fellow pack members. They want to be with you whenever possible and protect you. Although loyal to their entire family, they will single out one person as their favorite.


  • No dog smell - Unless wet, a KBD does not have a dog odor.


  • Active - Karelians require a lot of physical and mental stimulation, making them ideal partners for hiking, running, and hunting. No more carrying your dog back to the car!!


  • Extremely friendly - These dogs love people and are great with families. 

Cons: 


  • Stubborn- Even though they learn things quickly, a Karelian will become persistent and try to get away with not obeying. It is essential that they are made to obey, or it will get worse.


  • Digging- Digging is something our KBDs enjoy doing, but more so when bored. Digging can be worked through with training, but it is a struggle.


  • Barking- Karelians use barking to ward off unwanted animals/people from their territory. If they have an animal treed, they bark relentlessly until the animal leaves. They don’t have to bark needlessly, but it is how they ward off predators, so there is a balance in deciding what is allowed.


  • Wandering and the “Come” Command- Because they were bred to go and hunt, Karelians struggle with the “Come” command. They can learn the order quickly enough, but the trick is getting them to obey if they are chasing an animal or something equally exciting. They also like to explore and wander, so fencing is a good idea.


  • Assertive with dogs of the same gender- Karelians are “pack-minded” animals, and if another dog of the same sex challenges or stands up to them, they will fight for position. 


Bottom Line:

These dogs love people and are very friendly. They are great hunters and highly loyal. They need a firm but gentle owner to train them. If you feel this is the dog for you, please get in touch with us!
