We are lifelong supporters of shelter animals. We did not take lightly the decision to become licensed, selective and responsible breeders. We fell in love with Karelian Bear Dogs during COVID. College campuses were closing and our daughter decided to take a year off of school to visit friends in Montana. She came home with KBD puppy "Sasha" and we immediately recognized that this was an exceptional animal. The #1 thing we love most about KBDs is their HUGE personality.

At Bear Dog Ranch Tahoe, our goal is to have a litter only when the timing is right, and when we find good genetics. Overbreeding or inbreeding is not okay.
