Flint


Flint is a West Siberian Laika, a Russian breed of dog used for hunting. They are relatively rare in the U.S. of A. but are popular hunting dogs in a few other countries. Laikas are durable, healthy, active, loud, and drivey dogs, great for people who like primitive breeds and hunting, and people who enjoy spending a lot of time outdoors.
Flint is my main hunting dog. I usually hunt him on raccoon and squirrel, but he will also run fox and coyote, flush grouse, and tree turkey. He is a very versatile dog who enjoys other sports like lure coursing, bikejoring, hiking/packing, and weight pull.
