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.

An estimated 28 percent of Quebecois households include at least one dog, while about 10 percent include one cat and one dog. That puts Quebec’s total dog population at just over one million—and most of them are rescued. Top dog hiking trails in the province include Monts Sourire et Petit Carcan and Mont Larose, and there are more in the Parc Nacional du Bic. If you’re a dogless dog-lover at the moment and need some canine interaction in your life, check out one of the many dog sledding excursions throughout the Laurentian Mountains!
The preferred dog breed of the Quebecois is the German Shepherd.
