karelian bear dogs
The Karelian Bear Dog is a Finnish breed that earned its name because of its outstanding ability to successfully fight a wild bear. These brave, intelligent, and affectionate dogs have intense agility and can protect their owner to the death. They love children and their human families with all that they are, and will defend them endlessly. They do not like other small animals to live with them, but if they live with another dog, they will establish a hierarchy much like that of a wolf pack. Keep in mind that these dogs are very social and love to run and play with their owners. They need a good yard space and an energetic owner to help them lead the happiest life possible.
