East Siberian Laika

Spitz and Primitive Types

The East Siberian Laika is a traditional Scandinavian hunting dog used for elk, bear, and small game. Active and moderately trainable; they can be challenging around other dogs or animals and need careful introduction. The East Siberian Laika needs a solid hour of exercise every day to stay mentally and physically balanced, and a weekly brush keeps their coat looking its best. Active first-time owners who can commit to daily exercise will find East Siberian Laika a loyal and deeply rewarding companion.
