Mainly used against bears and moose, Karelian Bear Dogs are passionate hunters. They are very independent, but also team players, barking when they spot the mark. They have fine senses, especially smell, which enables them to track big game.
Well balanced, a little reserved, courageous and tenacious, Karelian Bear Dogs are self-confident creatures. They may become aggressive with other dogs, but never with humans. They have a strong fighting instinct, due to the needs of their primary vocation: hunting bears.

Breeding started in 1936 with the aim of developing a robust dog that would bark in the presence of big game. The original standard was published in 1945 and the first dogs were registered in the stud book a year later. The breed is now widespread in Finland.Karelian Bear Dogs are strong, medium-sized canines – a little longer than they are tall – with thick hair and erect ears.
