Karelians make excellent companions for folks who regularly enjoy outdoor recreation and wilderness adventures, including hiking, camping and fishing.

Known for their athleticism and incredible courage in dealing with prey animals considerably larger than themselves, Karelian Bear Dogs are being used as large predator protection dogs by people who live in remote areas and by law enforcement agencies to deter bears and other large predators that pose danger to humans when approaching too close.

Karelian bear dogs possess high situational awareness suited for backcountry work.
