My story

Klemo means 3 in Finnish and she got this name because she has 3 patterns to her coat. She is black on one side, white and black on the other and white in the front! She looks like a different dog from each side. She is friendly, happy and dog social. She is also smart. She will play alone and does have an independent spirit. She is a Karelian after all. She will need an active home, continued socializing as well as boundaries and rules. A positive puppy class and obedience classes are an excellent bonding time for the whole family so Klemo will be the absolute best that she can be.

Puppies are cute as all heck but do come with the responsibility of providing training to raise them to be good canine citizens. While we start all our dogs on housebreaking and they do learn quite a bit from following the older dogs outside you can expect to put in the effort to continue the right behaviours and curb the incorrect ones. You will need to walk them often and praise them like they invented a way to turn rock into gold.

Adopters should also plan on taking a puppy training class or two. This is great socialization for your pup and can provide useful tips for a lifetime of ‘good dog’. Make sure you have a sense of humour with pups, they sometimes try really, really hard to please but get it all wrong and do the wrong thing when they meant to impress you with their cleverness. These humourous antics can include bringing you your underwear when you have company (hey you might need em), tipping the water bowl (the cat dared me), or tearing up the newspaper (maybe he disagreed with the editorial). Try to maintain a sense of humour while guiding puppy to the right ways of doing things, eventually he will be an adult dog and so much a part of your family that you couldn't imagine life without him.

Pets can be flown to new homes. Application and homecheck required for all homes, the dog will go to the best home for the dog.
