Russisch-Europäischer Laïka

The Russian-European Laika is a Spitz type hunting dog originating from taiga regions of European Russia and Finland. This dog is a descendant of the Karelian Bear Laika, which doesn’t exist today in its purebred form. This breed was developed primarily as a working and hunting dog. During the breeding program, only the healthiest and strongest dogs with great hunting abilities were taken into account. Main Russian-European Laikas characteristics are intelligence, resourcefulness, stubbornness, independence, boldness, alertness, agility, speed, endurance, persistence, cheerfulness, and playfulness. This is a very territorial, alert and protective dog intolerant of strangers.
