Kennel registered in Directorate-General for Food and Veterinary Medicine under number DGAV B600
Responsible Selection and Breeding
The true concept of being a "breeder"
Knowledge, Love and Dedication
We study the genetics of various bloodlines around the world, the characteristics of each individual – both physical and psychological – and we do so with love and dedication because only in this way will it be possible to preserve the breed.
Be Realistic
We meticulously selected each specimen, not only based on personal taste but also on the characteristics defined in Breed Standard. Each specimen should conform as closely as possible to this "standard" in order to maintain its ideal appearance, health, and temperament.
Knowing what awaits us
Being a "breeder" means being willing to make both monetary and personal sacrifices, solely for the well-being of our dogs – whether resident or not; it means knowing beforehand that not all puppies from a litter may be delivered and that we will have to be strict in choosing the new families for each puppy born under our kennel name.
Birth of Litters
Our subscribers will be notified by email when the litters are born.
Assignment of a Dog
Our puppies can only be chosen by their new families after 7 weeks. This is because we may have to select a puppy for breeding and because that's when they start to show their character.

Nutritional Support
It's part of our philosophy to do and offer the best for our dogs.
As a "primitive" breed, the Karelian Bear Dog has demanding dietary and nutritional requirements, so consistent nutritional support is very important.
Our Affix proudly chooses food. HappyOne!
