Do Karelian Bear Dogs bark a lot?

Yes, Karelian Bear Dogs bark a lot, especially when they are on alert or feel the need to protect their territory. As a breed developed for hunting large game, such as bears, they use barking to signal their presence and alert their people to potential danger. 

While their barking can be beneficial for hunting or protecting their families, it can become excessive if not managed. Early training to control unnecessary barking can help mitigate this behavior.
