Snowy Mountain Syksy - (Snowy Mountain Kestää X Kolatselän Liisa)

Snowy Mountain Kestää - (Koba Wacipi Hoksila X S**a)

Syksy was firstborn.

Kestää was lastborn.

Kestää has earned his spot as the cornerstone of our Staker Line of Snowy Mountain Bear Dogs.

We’ll see if Syksy earns his spot in our Staker Line - so far, he’s off to a good start

“Sparrow relaxing! She had quite the experience yesterday. Like I do every morning I let the dogs out to run around and stretch and make sure the coast is clear…. I could hear Sparrow barking at something. I’ve learned she has a few different barks, and this bark was definitely the bark that signaled something she didn’t like. My wife starts yelling at me that Sparrow is chasing a grizzly bear! Sure enough... she had that big boar running with her right on his heels. We were so proud. Called her and she came running back. This was really her third time hazing a grizzly bear, but the first where it was not me helping.” - Jordan

Snowy Mountain Sparrow is our first pup to “bark” a grizzly, as the Finns say. The fact she did it at 7 months old exceeds all our expectations for this litter. Kudos to Jordan for giving her the opportunity to work.

It’s a safe bet to say we’ll be doing the Kestää x Selah cross again next year.

Snowy Mountain Siren 🚨

Now called “Rani” by her new handler, Patrick, and his family in West Virginia. This one was a personal favorite. We are partial to that all black face, making her resemble her grandma, S**a.

Rani will spend the next couple years proving herself (as will all of the pups) to her handler, as he is looking to accomplish something very specific with her. Rani will be hunting solo, no hounds to back her up. We sent her to Patrick because we have full confidence that she can do this with his background and experience.

In Finland, where the breed originated, hunters are allowed a maximum of two dogs in a pack. This means they gotta be good.
We’re ready to watch Rani exhibit those old hunting lines she has running through her blood as she becomes one of the first hunting Karelians to face the Appalachians. 🐺

Happy 2nd birthday to our Winter War Litter! ❤️‍🔥

Snowy Mountain - Smoke, Staab, Senter, Sinder, Sonnett, Slain, Sylvi, and Seven.

This litter has already done some awesome work in their first two years and we’re stoked to see what this next year holds.

Something tells me we’ve got some big things in store this year which may or may not include one of these pups producing our fourth generation of snowy mountain bear dogs 🤫

any guesses on which one??

The last two pups to be introduced to the gram - Syksy + Sage !!

These two both went to our partners in CO and . Dallin hunts year round for a living so he and his family have become essential to our program for proving the dogs we plan to breed. They own the Sire of this last litter, Kestää. And we co-own Selah, our finnish import and Dam of our last litter.

If a dog checks all of our boxes for breeding, Dallin is the final litmus test. He hunts them into the ground and by the time he’s done with them they will have been on their fair share of cats and bear.

With Syksy and Sage, we’re doing something we’ve never done before. Syksy is a male and was the highest drive of the litter. Sage is a female and was the lowest drive, most timid dog by far. We sent them both to Dallin to have equal opportunity and training put into them. By the time they’re two, we will evaluate how each one is doing and see if our scoring system for them as pups really matters as much as we think it does once they’re given the same environment to learn in.

nature vs. nurture if you will.

Whichever is the stronger hunter, Dallin will keep in his working pack. Second best will be sold as a finished hunting dog with more experience than most dogs will get in a lifetime.

we’re eager to know the results of this one. stay tuned. 🤑

Snowy Mountain Stryker! ⚡️

Now called “Kenai” by his new owners over at !! Our friends at Rocky Mountain are also ethical breeders in North America, and we were excited to partner with them as they expand their breeding stock!

Stryker was a solid pup. We’re looking forward to seeing what he does as well as the excellent pups we’re sure he’ll produce!

Snowy Mountain Sword ⚔️

now called “Krill” to go along with his new handler’s ocean theme 🦐

Krill was one of 3 males and, man, did he spend every day proving himself. Not only are his looks striking, but he had the power and drive to match. It says a lot about a pup to bark at a “bear” at only 7 weeks old, but Krill opened up right away and didn’t hesitate to do everything we hope to see a strong head dog do.

Krill was a typical young boy when it came to how easily he was distracted 🤣 but once redirected towards the target, he didn’t back down. He’s now the pride and joy of his new handlers, Frank and Becky, in Idaho where he will be a full time hunting dog on bear and lion.

Y’all stay tuned, cause we expect big things out of this little shrimp. 💪🏼

“And I sing because I’m happy, and I sing because I’m free! For His eye is on the Sparrow, and I know he watches me.”

Snowy Mountain Sparrow has already had her first day on the job as a game warden’s assistant in Wyoming! She will be a full time working dog alongside her new owner, Jordan.

Sparrow was a powerhouse puppy. She tested as a head dog, meaning she was one of the higher drive pups of the litter. Which is important, giving she’ll be spending most of her time in thick grizzly bear country.

We have some high high hopes for Sparrow. and we trust that His eye will be on this one. 🪶

Snowy Mountain Stryker (Kenai) has arrived at home after his long trek to Montana.

Thanks to Jim-Debbie Miner for the transport across the country!

04/01/2024

Snowy Mountain Sunday, now called “Tulsa,” is making her trek to Oregon! Her new owners Jim + Debbie are the perfect fit for this little sweetheart. Sunday tested as a companion pup, but don’t be fooled, she’s got a few tricks up her sleeve.

Our goal is that even the lowest drive puppies will still do well on big game when given the chance. Sunday is headed into bear country and will provide some great peace of mind to her new family (& their livestock!)

02/01/2024

Snowy Mountain Silk, now called “Rowena,” is headed to live out her days in Oklahoma! Silk crushed all of her tests and we couldn’t have been more pleased with her results. Her owner, Jamie, reached out some time ago, looking for a dog to hunt wild hogs with, and we believe Silk is just the lady for the job.

Hog population, sleep with one eye open. Silk is headed your way. 🐗 🚫

Merry Christmas and God Bless from our family to yours.

We have so much new life in our family and our kennel to be thankful for. Most of all, we’re thankful for the new life of a baby Jesus we all received in a humble stable across the world 2000 years ago.

Coming in hot!

*please excuse our photo quality - as 3 day old pups tend to have a hard time sitting still 😅*

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one” - is the original saying.

Just a couple of Snowy Mountain Karelians (male / female team ) working on their on their jack status of decoying ‘yotes.

Finns use them to hunt bear, moose, boar, lynx, fox, raccoondogs, water fowl, and game birds.

So, these two are decoy dogs by spring, bear dogs by summer.

Scout got some good bear work in this week. Hunter and fam had a sow with two yearling cubs come into the backyard. We’re very pleased with Scout’s movement, distance, barking tempo, and pressure. Had this been in Finland, I think he would have scored very well.

Snowy Mountain Syksy (red collar) learning the ropes from his sire, King Kestää (green collar) 8 months old - he’s coming right along

6 months old and Snowy Mountain Story just wanted to tell Mr. Yogi a story. It was interesting enough he ignored the 7 dogs directly in front of him to focus on her. 🐕

And then there was yet another fat bear who also did not enjoy the Karelian + Hound combo

Turns out fat bears don’t like the Karelian + hound combo.

Kestää dog does Kestää dog things. Kestää pups do Kestää dog things too, it seems. Snowy Mountain Story tracked and treed this coon solo - at 4 months old. Her owner is tickled. We are tickled. There’s 9 more of these pups out there.

That good ol’ Appalachian Mountain Music with some Finnish melodies.

a very Karelian Christmas 🎄 #christmasdog #christmaspuppy #karelianbeardog #christmasdecor #christmastree #christmaslights #christmas

Snowy Mountain Sylvi “Tuuli” decided she, too, wanted to demonstrate her bear barking skills. Tuuli tested as one of our company puppies, which are the puppies we assess to be lower drive puppies and most suitable for recreational focused owners. We believe our company puppies will hold their ground against predators. Lower drive does not mean no drive, as Tuuli so adequately demonstrates in this video. You can tell she’s a little nervous, but with good encouragement from @ben_troop , we are thrilled with how well she treed her first bear at 18 months old. Tuuli means “wind” in Finnish. This girl has some wind in her lungs and yogi does not like it. Mark one more bear in the air to our Winter War Litter.

Snowy Mountain Slain “Ranger” is learning how to chase bears with @grandfallsoutfitter this summer. If you can’t tell, Ranger is excited. If you’re interested in a Maine bobcat guided hunt, Bill @grandfallsoutfitter is your guy. Plus, you’ll get to see a Good Boy learning how to be a hunting dog

There’s a lion in that tree. Seven is determined to keep him there. #karelianbeardog #kbd #huntingdog #beardog #liondog #karjalankarhukoira #karelskbjörnhund #snowymountainbeardogs #lionhunting #spitzman #spitzwoman
