[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 387212, member: 14204"] [SIZE=2]Karelian Bear dogs (KBD) have been trained to hunt small game ranging from squirrels to hares upwards to big game such as elk and bear. They are very courageous as they will ward off wolf, moose and bear. Bear Dogs are protective and loyal to their masters willing to risk their own life in order to protect their master. Lately, KBDs are also used in search and rescue efforts. The first time I saw a KBD was in a news video with a wildlife biologist in MT, working with the Canadian park rangers (IIRC?). The video showed them going after a grizzly (no actual contact encounters shown). The idea was to change the behavior of the trouble bears and send the message that they are not welcomed.
