The Karelian Bear Dog, or Karjalankarhukoira, is a robust Finnish breed known for its fearless hunting abilities. Originally bred to track and hunt large game, including bears, these dogs are highly energetic and require extensive training and socialization. They are loyal and protective companions, making them ideal for experienced owners who can provide the necessary mental and physical stimulation. Due to their strong instincts, they may not be suitable for families with small children.

More than half of Floridians are pet owners, and 40 percent of them have at least one dog in the family. If you live on an acre of land in the state of Florida, you can own up to four dogs. The most popular breed in this state is the German Shepherd, followed closely by the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever. The most popular dog breed in the city of Orlando is none of those, however, but the French Bulldog! For coast-dwelling Floridian dog owners, there’s the added joy of the dog-friendly beaches on either side (and the bottom) of the panhandle.
