The Best Natural Rearing Dog Breeds: Raising Dogs in Harmony with Nature
In a world where convenience often overrides care, more families are turning toward natural rearing dog breeds—dogs raised without chemicals, excessive vaccines, or processed foods.
At Habibi Bears, we’ve created a breed with this mission in mind. By blending science and soul, we’ve developed a breed that thrives under holistic care and serves as a living testament to what’s possible when nature leads the way.
“She did amazing from day one, and since then has been my shadow. Â She’s now ten“
-Dorothy
She has changed my life for the better and I love her SO much. I have considered many times welcoming another dog, but I only want one just like her. She is that special to me and is my whole world.

The Healing Power
of Habibi Bears
It’s not just about what’s fed—it’s about the whole ecosystem of development. Natural rearing dog breeds are:
-
Born to naturally-reared parents with strong genetics and diverse lineages
-
Raised without early weaning, antibiotics, or synthetic flea treatments
-
Fed raw, whole foods or monofeeding protocols (see the book on Rotational Monofeeding)
-
Supported emotionally through developmentally appropriate, non-aversive methods
Why We Bred the Habibi Bear
The Habibi Bear is a genetically diverse, purposefully created hybrid, designed to restore the vitality lost to centuries of inbreeding in the purebred world. Our breeding program is an intentional pursuit to revive and protect canine genetics—not to win ribbons or titles. We’ve chosen to remain outside of traditional dog registries, show rings, and breed club politics, as these systems often prioritize aesthetics over wellness and take dogs further away from their natural essence. In our experience, this focus can introduce more problems than it prevents.
We believe dogs are sentient beings—not accessories, not tools, and certainly not status symbols. They deserve respect, autonomy, and deep connection with their humans. At Habibi Bears, we strive to educate our families on how to understand their dog’s unspoken language, advocate for their needs, and build a life of mutual trust and companionship.
We don’t subscribe to modern dog training methods that rely on control, commands, or dominance. Instead, we focus on relationship, empathy, and co-regulation, which are at the heart of true natural rearing. For us, it’s about honoring the dog as they are—not shaping them into something for convenience or conformity.
Our dogs are not here to impress—they’re here to connect. We see them as Anam Caras, the Celtic term for “soul friend.” This is the kind of bond we raise our puppies to form—and the kind of relationship we help our families build.
This isn’t a trend—it’s a transformation in how we care for and LOVE our dogs.
