Meet the breeder

I'm Aili M., the breeder behind Copper Mountain Karelians located in Wallingford, CT. We offer well-rounded puppies who will excel in any adventure with their new family.

We prepare all of our pups to excel in life.

Q. & A. with Aili

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I am interested in preserving the best qualities in this relatively rare breed. Although I am fairly new to breeding, I am enthusiastic about ethically sharing my love for Karelian Bear Dogs with the world. I have a passion for excellence and I am dedicated to furthering my education so that I can continue to improve my breeding program as well as share my knowledge with others!

  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs and puppies are considered members of my family, and they get the best care I can possibly provide. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Karelian Bear Dog line.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
