Karelian Bear Dogs

We have another litter, whelped 5/30/12. One female and three males are still available as of 8/28. The price of a puppy is $1,100.00, which will include all puppy shots, health certificate and delivery to the flight of the buyers choice from the Albany International Airport. The new owner will be responsible for all other transportation costs including crate. We require a $250.00 non-refundable deposit to hold a puppy until payment and pick-up/delivery arrangements are completed. Puppies are assigned in the order that deposits are received. We accept payment in cash or PayPal only. The puppies are ready to go now. Arrangements and payment must be completed within ten days of placing a deposit. After that there will be a boarding charge of $50.00/week.

From the new owner of Tiina, photo below: "Tiina is blossoming! She is such a happy girl and already is coming quite well, has learned how to sit and how to take a treat or not based on my command. Xxxxxxxxxxxx (our trainer) was absolutely enthralled with Tiina. She said you, our breeder, did a beautiful job – and mentioned how well you bred this pup several times over the course of the evening. Spoke of her lines and how beautiful a dog she is."

You may contact us by e-mail or phone for more information or to make an appointment to see the dogs. Photos of the puppies will be available by e-mail.

We imported a pair of dogs from Finland in 2008. The KBDs we had seen in the US were too small and fine-boned, perhaps due to inbreeding (limited gene pool). Moe and Titi were the size of our adult, US-bred dogs by the time they were seven months old. They continued to develop well and are noticeably larger and sturdier, as were all KBDs we saw in Finland.

Our dogs are registered with the Finnish breed association and with Universal Kennel Club. They are also registered with the AKC Foundation Stock Service® Program. They represent new bloodlines in the United States.

Titi whelped for the first time in July '10. There were nine puppies, which have all been placed in new homes as far as Washington State, Idaho, Montana and Canada.
