Introduction

The Karelian Beer Dog is a medium-sized spritz with a thick coat. To hunt big, aggressive game by himself, his construction reflects his duties. He is a silent hunter, and barks once only to stop or breed the game. Working with an experienced hunter, he communicates the type of animal he has located with the sound of his bark. Although he can demonstrate self-control around people, his fighting feelings are around other dogs and can be difficult to handle. Their soul easily turns into aggression, as Karelian bear dogs love a challenge.

History

The Karelian bear dog is a Finnish breed that originated in northwestern Europe and was originally a dog of Russian and Finnish farmers, used for hunting and as a watch dog. Only the most difficult battles and harsh conditions when hunting. Early dogs had red, red-gray, and black-and-white coats. Komi dogs, also known as the dog of the zerines, are thought to be the origin of the breed, however, the original stock dogs originate from the Karelia, Olonets, and Russian Karelia of Lagoda, where they are all used for a variety of game hunting. Used to be done. Breeding was started in 1936 with the goal of creating a strong dog that barks in big game. In further breeding, the ancestor was selected for the Karelian bear dog type and only black and white dogs were preferred for breeding. It was then agreed that the breed was to be named Karelian Bear Dog. The first standard was established in 1945. The first Karelian bear dogs were registered in 1946 at the Finnish Kennel Club.

Today, the breed is one of the top 10 most common breeds in Finland. The Karelian bear dog is primarily a hunting breed, but in its country of origin it can be trained and competed for obedience tests, search and rescue tests, and sled dog tests.

General Appearance

The breed has a coat of straight, stiff guard hairs and a fine, soft, thick undercoat. There should be no curls in the hair at all. The color should be black with white markings. Often jet black hair is dyed a bit with brown highlights at the ends which gives it an iridescent quality. The ideal color percentage is about 70% black and 30% white. The bushy tail turns into a ring at the back in a circle and has a white tip. It gently falls on the dog's back or to one side. The tail of purebred Karelian Bear Dogs curves into a circle rather than a sickle. Black spots on the white part of the fur are considered a defect.
