Moron who wrote the article, or someone at the fish and game who gave the info that this would be "the first Karelian bear dog used for enforcement" in the United States should maybe do a little fact checking. Dave Wedum of the Montana Fish and Game who trapped and released more Montana grizzlies than anyone else while working for the F&G, was a next door neighbor of mine and he had Karelian bear dogs back in the early 80's.
