As a wildlife documentarian I owe my life and our camera crews life to these dogs after multiple grizzly encounters that with out our dogs we would have been up against some deadly encounters. Thank you to all the organizations that help train and handle these amazing dogs. 💙💙
My Beautiful Diablo (KBD) passed last November. I miss his wake up kisses and funny ways each & every day. The bond I had with this very loyal dog was so strong & like no other breed I have ever had. They truly are a Very Special breed.
Fascinating video! I had no idea about these dogs and the work they perform! I’m going to scan your videos and see what else I can learn! Thanks so much for sharing this👍
The native name Karjalankarhukoira and its a literal translation karelian(Karjalan) bear(karhu) dog(koira). As a finnish person it sounds a bit funny, and thats exactly how I described my dog to english friends without knowing the correct name 😊
Ekko is my KBD from Prince of Whales, we live in Skagway. She keeps bears out of our yard and away from my dog walking clients. I call her my Free Range Chicken. Love the work you guys do.
@@a_e_hilton 100%. : ) Need to be relaxed and attentive, working with nature rather than in conflict, which helps to keep his dogs on that same "wavelength". Excellent to see!
Aww The Karelian. A dog that can dance In between the Rain drops… I have two Reko and Jade. Runners for sure. Great Dogs saved my mini schnauzer from a coyote!!!
It will certainly outrun you and probably has the stamina for a marathon. If you don't work it up beforehand it should always be ready and willing to join you. But I don't no wether it could attract a bear or drive it unvoluntarily to you if you let it roam unleashed.
These dogs would bark at a bear to keep it in place whilst the hunter would come and shoot the bear so I’m not sure if they’d be able to get within reach. Very true though.

If he was anxious he probably wouldn't enjoy this job and it might become dangerous
Was this made for me

We just got our first KBD. Bernice is fearless.
Great video, I am on my second and third KBD's now. A two yr old female and three yr old male, both akc foundation stock.
So cool! Any bear encounters?
@@indiealaska Yes, the male has had a couple black bear's
I like how the krina bear dog case away bears for the safety of others .
How are they as runners? I'd like to find a dog that I can do trail running with that might signal to me when a bear is near.

I own a kerilian bear dog malamute cross
Hunt the bears !
The DOG is hunting. The dogs are mostly used to scare bear away, warn people ,or relocate bear if necessary.
They look like akitas
It's insane to me that a grizzly bear would run from a dog when it could easily tear the dog into pieces if it was so inclined

A good bear dog would never go close to big animal to get killed. This is part of the skillset of a good breed.
