KAMIA KENNELS — FULL JAMTHUND PROGRAM

UPCOMING LITTER ANNOUNCEMENT: AURELLA × POSSO

Jamthund female Aurella, Foundation Bloodline

A Proven Jamthund Pairing With Generational Working Success

We are excited to announce that Aurella and Posso, both Full Jamthunds, are expected to mate in the coming weeks. This is not a speculative pairing — this is a proven cross, one that has already produced some of the finest Jamthunds working in Western Canada today.

This upcoming litter continues a true restoration line, built on deep bear‑dog ancestry, handler focus, and the territorial intelligence that defines the original Jamthund.

THE DAM — AURELLA

Aurella is a daughter of Ark and Varella, and a granddaughter of Aina and Rico, carrying forward one of the strongest maternal Jamthund dynasties in North America.

She is known for:

  • Calm, intelligent working judgment
  • Deep bonding and handler focus
  • Strong territorial awareness
  • Classic Jamthund structure and stamina

Aurella is a cornerstone female in the Third‑Generation Jamthund Program, representing the continuity of the Aina → Varella → Aurella maternal line.

THE SIRE — POSSO

Posso, imported from Finland, brings in a pure hunting-line Jamthund ancestry with size, bone, and the long-range working mindset that historically defined the northern bear dogs.

He contributes:

  • Large-frame, mountain-capable structure
  • Exceptional scenting and tracking ability
  • High intelligence with cooperative drive
  • Deep Karelian/Jamthund working heritage

Posso is one of the most influential males in the restoration architecture, and his pups consistently show the traits we value most.

PROVEN SUCCESS — PREVIOUS PUPS FROM THIS PAIRING

One of the standout females from a previous Aurella × Posso litter is Vada, living and working in Northern Saskatchewan with Lindsay and Blair — a couple who have partnered with Kamia for decades.

Vada works alongside Ruhne, their son of Jaegar, forming an exceptional Jamthund–Norwegian pair. Together they demonstrate exactly what this lineage is designed for:

  • High territorial intelligence
  • Strong handler focus and loyalty
  • Natural predator awareness and bear sense
  • Calm, confident decision-making in the bush
  • Deep bonding and cooperative working style

Vada is a living example of what this pairing produces: balanced, powerful, intelligent northern dogs with real-world capability.

WHY THIS PAIRING MATTERS

This is a restoration-driven Jamthund litter, combining:

  • The Aina maternal dynasty
  • The Varella Finnish-import line
  • The Posso Finnish hunting-line import
  • The Ark mentorship and working-male architecture

This pairing strengthens:

  • Territorial intelligence
  • Handler focus and family bonding
  • Large-frame, rugged structure
  • Bear-lineage working instincts
  • Genetic diversity within the Jamthund population

These pups are bred for families who appreciate the heritage, purpose, and capability of the original Jamthund.

EXPECTED TRAITS IN THE PUPS

Families receiving pups from this litter can expect:

  • Strong, athletic frames built for northern terrain
  • Deep winter coats and excellent cold tolerance
  • Calm, confident temperaments
  • High intelligence and problem-solving ability
  • Natural territorial awareness
  • Superior predator sense, especially bear lineage traits
  • Classic Jamthund silhouette with long legs and powerful gait

These are working-line Jamthunds, ideal for acreage homes, active families, and those who value a dog with instinct, intelligence, and purpose.
