North Woods Karelians

Puppies are coming!!! Due date: January 30, 2025

Be sure to CONTACT US if you are interested in adding one to your family. To do so, click on the Facebook link below and message us there. The fee for our puppies with no breeding rights for $1400 USD. If you are interested in obtaining breeding rights, we can discuss this further. There are several further costs involved for breeding pups that are the responsibility of the buyer, and there is a more involved screening process. All puppies are AKC registered as foundation stock. WE ARE TAKING DEPOSITS NOW!

July 26, 2023 Litter

Almost all of the puppies from our 2023 litter are in their forever homes. Walnut is still hanging out with us. For now, the plan is to keep him in our forever family. However, if we found him just the right fit, we would be happy for him and his new family. Walnut is independent, smart, sassy, vocal… I guess that just makes him a Karelian! He will need a home where he can hang outside a lot in a fenced area. Walnut is trained on invisible fence, crates, leash (though he still pulls), and house breaking (but he is stubborn when he wants to be). He is good with cats, kids, people, and most dogs. Please reach out if you think Walnut might be a good addition to your family.

June 2022 Litter (all in their forever homes).

Update: August 7, 2022: All of our puppies from the 2022 litter are now spoken for. They have begun to head to their new homes. Thank you to all who followed along on our journey. We hope to have another litter next spring.

Update: July 31, 2022: We have been SO busy with these little ones that it has been hard to post new pictures. Apologizes!! But here are some fresh photos to enjoy. Right now, there are 3 females not spoken for, Peach, Taffy, and Blueberry. Everyone else is spoken for and they being heading to their new homes this week already!

Update: July 9, 2022: The puppies are doing so many new things every day!!! They are 4 1/2 weeks old, eating solid food (mushy), and playing SO much! I have been updating pictures on the facebook page, but not here as often. Make sure to check the facebook page for the latest photos. Here’s a few to enjoy for today!

Update: June 27, 2022: The puppies are doing great! Momma is handling having 10 puppies like a champ. They are weighed daily and she is doing a great job getting them nice and chubby! Below are Week 3 Photos. We named them all now with their temporary names so we have something to call them for now. We are LOVING spending tons of time with them!

Photo shoots are exhausting!
Even for Momma!
This sweet little bear is Blueberry. We particularly love her marking on her chest, which we think looks like a heart. She is also super sweet and cuddly.

Update June 22, 2022: Week 2 Photos! They are still just little potatoes basically that we love to cuddle. Eyes are starting to open, but they don’t seem to see much yet. They don’t have any colored collars on yet because Momma seems intent to have them off, but hopefully soon.
