Rooster is a Karelian bear dog, a breed originating in Finland. “They have an innate ability to deal with a bear on the ground,” says Heather Reich, a game biologist and human-bear conflict specialist with the Nevada Department of Wildlife. “The breed has no desire to actually hurt or kill a bear, they just want to nip at it a bit.” Rooster works with Reich at the NDoW. It’s one of a handful of agencies in the U.S. with at least one KBD on its bear management team.
