Karelian Bear Dog - Karjalankarhukoira - Carelian Bear Dog - Karelsk Bjornehund

bluish   WELCOME!  This website will introduce you to our wonderful Karelian Beardogs, Rebel's Pikku Lummekukka (Kukka),  Bjornehuset's Lasse ( ILO),  and  Runningbeardog's Summer Sun, Kesa, daughter of Kukka and Ilo from our own breeding. 
     Known for their independence, intelligence,  keen hunting and tracking ability and loyalty to their owner, the KBD originated in Finland. During the Finnish/Russian war they were used as scouts to scent out Russian troops, and were threatened with extinction as they were killed by snipers.  It is said that at one time less than 40 remained, and they are still considered a rare breed today.  
     Our KBD's are members of our family and protectors both at home, and on the trail.  Please read more on our pages and links to learn more about the KBD!

Runningbeardog's Summer Sun, Kesa

 

 



     Runningbeardog's Kesa is from Kukka and Ilo's first litter.  She is registered with the United Kennel Club, and AKC Foundation Stock.

     Now 3 years old, we are tentatively planning Kesa's first litter for late fall, early winter of 2008.  The daddy to her puppies will likely be a beautiful KBD import to Canada, Bjornehusets Samson (Sisu). You can see him on our Sisu's visit page.
