This litter means a lot to me as it will be the first litter in our kennel and this pairing has been in the works for over two years. 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; both of these dogs have passed their required health tests in addition to a few extras done on Evita. Neither of these two carry any diseases the breed is affected by (prcd-PRA, HPP, CD) or any colour faults.
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!
Uula has been very successful in the field; earning his Finnish Working Champion title at under two years of age. He is also only one of three KBD's in Finnish history to earn the C.I.B.T title, two of these three are still living (as of November 2022), and one of these three was Uula's grandfather. The C.I.B.T is the highest level of titling a dog can earn in both field trialing and conformation combined on an international scale.
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; Uula compliments all of Evita's faults nicely. Evita is also at the upper end of the height standard at 54cm and Uula is a smaller male at 56cm; 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 2.81% and a KVP of 0.53 over 8 generations; 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.
All the puppies will come with the following:
-CKC limited registration and AKC FSS registration *only if the puppy is moving to the USA*
-DNA tested through embark or an equivalent lab
-First vaccine, done at 6-8 weeks of age. Additional vaccines will be done if the puppies will be picked up at a later date.
-Microchip
-several dewormings
-a puppy pack
-4-6 week pet insurance trial
-lifetime breeder support
All of our puppies are sold on a limited registration and a co-ownership until spayed/neutered; unless otherwise agreed upon.
*Priority for our puppies will always be given to active hunting/working homes*
