This litter means a lot to me as it will be the first litter in our kennel and is a live bred dual sired litter. After multiple unsuccessful attempts using frozen semen, we decided that a live mating would be best for Evita. So off to Finland we went! 
When I was looking for a male for Evita's first litter I knew there were certain traits I wanted to bring in. As a veterinary technician, genetic health is very important to me; all three of these dogs have passed their required health tests in addition to a few extras done on Evita. All the puppies produced will be non affected by the health conditions affecting the breed (prcd-PRA, HPP, CD, and PD). Additionally, all the puppies will fit within the written standard in respect to colours produced. 

Although we do not actively hunt with Evita, she has shown interest in large game several times. The first time she barked was at a deer when she was about 5 months of age followed by moose several times throughout her life. Evita has also visited a machine moose and a machine bear in Finland at about 2.5 years of age, there she barked very well!
Urho has been very successful in the field; earning his Finnish Working Champion title at two years of age, he also actively hunts for his family ever fall. Kajo has not been to any formal hunting trials but he has been very successful in the field, feeding his family every fall with the work he does. 

Structurally Evita is quite light in bone, as are all of her littermates, she also lacks chest depth and has too short of a hair coat, and ears that are too large and wide set; Urho and Kajo both compliment all of Evita's faults nicely. Evita is also at the upper end of the height standard at 54cm whereas both these males are on the smaller size; from this pairing we hope to get  puppies that are average in size with a good amount of bone and chest depth in addition to workability. Being that the Karelian Bear Dog population and diversity is so low it is vital to produce litters that are diverse in genetics and this combination does just that with a pedigree COI of 1.99% and a KVP of 0.54 over 8 generations with Urho and a pedigree COI of 2.40% and a KVP of 0.59 over 8 generations with Kajo; we can also easily see the pedigree all the way back to the 1950's. 
We hope that a number of these puppies will have the opportunity to work large game and/or show in the conformation ring in whichever part of the world they may end up in. 

In June of 2022 Evita and I traveled overseas to take part in a number of shows; where she proved to do amazingly well which exceeded all of our expectations. She earned her 3 Finnish CAC's and 3 CACIB's (Finland, Estonia, and Spain) in addition to completing her Estonian Championship and her Spanish Championship. Evita also placed second in the female class at the World Dog Show in Spain, earning her the unofficial title of Vice World Winner. 
Then in August 2023 Evita and I travelled back to Finland to take part in hunting trials.........

All the puppies will come with the following:
-CKC limited registration and AKC FSS registration *only if the puppy is moving to the USA*
