I was told Alaska Husky Karelian bear dog. I suspected if that were true it was not a high % karelian. Results were a surprising super mutt mix. In celebration of the -40F front porch here are some summer photos. imgur.com/a/tAbEJ6L

This is Aura. We were told she was part border collie when she was adopted. She is 6, about 55 lbs, and can have TONS of energy. Very attached and gets really nervous (cries) around other animals but loves people. I submitted a photo on another site which resulted in Karelian bear dog. Ideas? reddit.com/gallery/ppiq7c

What is your opinion on getting a karelian bear dog as a first-time dog owner

I’m interested in purchasing a karelian bear dog as my first dog. I’ve done some research, but I’m interested in hearing from people that have owned this breed. Are they suitable for a first-time dog owner? How should I go about further preparing myself to own a breed like this? Thanks.

Is she a Karelian Bear Dog?

A few months ago, my family rescued a 7yo female labeled as a "husky/border collie" mix. But now we're wondering if she's a Karelian Bear Dog. Everything I'm reading online seem to correlate - the temperament, physical characteristics, etc. And apparently the breed is fairly rare, so I can easily see how she could be mis-classified.

Normally, I wouldn't really care about her breed, but our life circumstances have changed, and we are unable to keep her. If she is a Karelian, then I'm hoping to find resources for re-homing her that are breed-specific. Any advice?

Edit - added picture

Kuma is two years old and just shy of 100lbs. The couple that fostered him said he was full Akita. He has a double coat, but isn’t as β€˜fluffy’ or large as male Akita’s tend to be. Another suggested Karelian Bear Dog, any other ideas?

[Breeds] Male dog aggression, specifically Karelian Bear Dog

Hi! Recently I've been looking into Karelian Bear Dogs as a breed choice. From what I've read, they have a tendency towards same-sex aggression with other dogs. Talking to a breeder, he said that specifically male dogs will not tolerate other male dogs of any breed. Nothing else I've read has said this specifically. From what I have read they must be very properly socialized in these areas and care must certainly be taken, but no one else has mentioned that male dogs under no circumstances will tolerate other males. Does anyone here have experience with this? Is that a trend of dogs in general, that male dogs are more aggressive? Thanks!
