Karelian Bear Dog (KBD) 5K Spokane

The Karelian Bear Dog (KBD) 5K is a dog- and family-friendly 5K benefiting WA Department of Fish and Wildlife’s KBD program. These KBDs are tasked with providing a non-lethal option for handling conflicts primarily between humans and bears/cougars. The KBDs are used for the tracking, capturing, and aversive conditioning of wildlife. All supporting funds for the KBDs come from outside donations. At the race, meet the new, local KBD puppy Jax and his officer handler.
