  Runningbeardog's Mielikki was born at 3:50 P.M.  on Saturday December 15, 2007.  Mieli, (said kind of like Melly) was named for the Finnish Goddess of the Forest and Animals, and was 9.5 oz. at birth.  She's a beautiful  girl, and we think her face markings tend to resemble her daddy Ilo's.
     Mieli lives in a wonderful new home in Wyoming, not too far from Yellowstone National Park.  Her new mommy and daddy live in a beautiful home surrounded by mule deer, elk, ram, sheep, bear and other animals.  She will get to hike on the mountain ridges with her family, and be a great protector if need be.   They love her already, and we are so happy to share some pictures of her in her wonderful new home and beautiful outdoor playground, a KBD's paradise! 

Miss Mieli, a very alert Karelian Bear Dog Puppy!

Runningbeardog's Sielu del Oso (Spirit of the Bear)

Medium animated Minnesotan flag clip art for a white background       Meet Runningbeardog's Sielu del Oso, which means Spirit of the Bear.  His name reflects a beautiful blend of Finnish and Spanish.  Oso, as he is called by his family, was born at 5:35 pm, and weighed 10.9 oz at birth.    He is a beauty!     Oso lives in northern Minnesota in a beautiful home on a big lake with his new mommy, daddy and big brother. He has plenty of room to run, squirrels and other game to hunt, as well as bear to protect his family from.  
     Oso's family has said that he loves the water, just as his mommy Kukka does, and has had a great time fishing with his big brother Nic.
