Meet Karius: A Big Teddy Bear with a Heart of Gold

Karius, born on June 24, 2014, is a stunning dog whose mesmerizing blue eyes captivate everyone who meets him. His bright, blue gaze is unforgettable, and his strong, majestic posture makes him a perfect companion for those who love large dogs.

Personality and Training

Despite his impressive size, Karius has a gentle and sweet personality. He is generally happy but can sometimes be a bit nervous in new situations or when asked to do something unfamiliar. Over the years, he has grown more confident, but he would thrive with a patient human who can give him time to adjust and guide him gently through new experiences.

Karius has received some indoor training and absolutely loves the comfort of a cozy dog bed.

Karius with Other Dogs

In his sled dog career, Karius has lived and “trained” many energetic teenagers, demonstrating remarkable patience. He is kind and gets along well with both male and female dogs. He has even been tested with small breeds and is just an all-around friendly guy who generally gets along with everyone.

Karius with Children

Karius is wonderful with children. He never jumps and remains calm when they approach for cuddles. However, given his slightly timid nature, he would thrive best in a home without too many children around. Karius is a dog who enjoys his peace.

If you feel like you could offer Karius the loving pet life and forever home he deserves, or simply want to meet him, contact us at 💌 gintare@villmarkssenter.no.

We visited to experience the dog sledding and were totally blown away by the whole day. The ethos of the place is to maintain the dog’s welfare first and foremost. The staff are so knowledgeable and friendly and our musher gave us loads of info during the sledding experience. I can highly recommend Villmarksenter and we are planning another visit already. This is a must do trip for anyone who loves dogs and being out in the beauty of the wilderness.

A wonderful experience snowshoeing across beautiful landscapes. We did about 5k in total, with a stop half way through for hot drinks and biscuits (supplied by the guides). The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and were more than happy to answer any question we had. We took 2 dogs on the hike, which I enjoyed very much! We spent time in the dog yard after snowshoeing, which was amazing

LOVED the experience! We had a very patient and kind guide Krystof. I’m actually afraid of dogs, but the dogs were friendly and if you don’t want to you don’t have to be in contact with them. Also, the views up there were magical. Would definitely recommend it to everyone?
