About Thor
All listing information is self-reported. Verify information before conducting business. Learn more here
Thor is a fiery, brave, confident boy with a lot of drive and determination. He would make an excellent hunting partner or an entertaining companion for an active family. Thor has fun playing with other dogs but can be a bit dominant with his littermates so he needs to go to a home where his dog friends assert boundaries or where his humans are savvy enough to intervene when Thor is being a bit much. His confidence means he can go far with the right guidance. These are AKC papered foundation stock purebred KBDs. They come microchipped, vet checked, up to date with vaccines and dewormers, and with a comprehensive genetic and orthopedic guarantee. I am unable to upload my photos on this site. Please get in touch to see more.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Karelian Bear Dog Puppies
About Karelian Bear Dog Puppies
What's the personality of a Karelian Bear Dog?
Karelian Bear Dogs are a Finnish breed who were bred to hunt bears, elks, and large game. These brave, intelligent dogs are happy around their pack of people, but they must have early socialization, training, plenty of exercise, and experienced owners to be balanced dogs. Karelian Bear Dogs prefer to be working outside and protecting their territory. Full-grown, they typically weigh 44-49 pounds and stand 19-24 inches tall.
Are Karelian Bear Dogs friendly with strangers and kids?
Karelian Bear Dogs are generally not the best fit for families with young kids. Karelian Bear Dogs love the great outdoors and make a great match for experienced owners of a similar attitude and active lifestyle. Due to their large size, this breed does not do well in smaller settings, so an apartment will quickly shrink in size with a Karelian Bear Dog living in it. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
What kind of exercise do Karelian Bear Dogs need?
Karelian Bear Dogs are workers. They can fill many roles working alongside law enforcement, hunting, and serving as great hiking and camping companions. No need for bear spray when Karelian Bear Dogs are with you in the woods! Overall, their exercise needs are high.
What should I expect with Karelian Bear Dog shedding?
Karelian Bear Dogs do not smell like bears… or much like dogs, for that matter. As furry dogs go, their black-and-white double coat gives off less of an odor than most. Karelian Bear Dogs’ weatherproof coat requires weekly brushing with a metal-toothed comb, which can help remove dead hairs from their undercoat and reduce shedding. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.
Can a Karelian Bear Dog live in an apartment?
Karelian Bear Dogs are best suited for a house with a good-sized yard. Karelian Bear Dogs love the great outdoors and make a great match for experienced owners of a similar attitude and active lifestyle. Due to their large size, this breed does not do well in smaller settings, so an apartment will quickly shrink in size with a Karelian Bear Dog living in it. They are fairly easy to train.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
