“Do Karelians make good family dogs?
As remarkable as the KBD’s instincts for protecting and hunting is their capacity to make wonderful companion and family dogs.The Karelian Bear Dog is a discerning dog, not immediately friendly with strangers. Socializing your Karelian to other people and animals can begin at an early age, and yet your Karelian will remain a protection dog that will reliably alert at a possible threat.
Cats and Karelians?
You might be surprised to know that we raise our Karelian Bear Dogs with Maine Coon cats. Just as our Karelians are instinctively gentle around children, so do they innately respect our feline family members.”
