Can dogs be half bear?
No, animals have to be in the same genus in order to mate. Bears are in the genus "Ursus", whereas dogs are in the genus "Canis". Dogs can be half wolf or half dingo, but not bear. There is, however, a breed of dog with "bear" in its name - the Karelian Bear Dog, a black and white dog originated from Finland. Its breed name was derived from the fact that it can defend against bears.
What is the temperament of a Karelian Bear Dog?
The Karelian Bear Dog is rarely aggressive towards people but they can be aggressive towards other dogs. They are fearless hunters of big game animals and are bred to be dominant towards other animals regardless of their size. They are often strong-willed, intelligent stubborn and demand a strong alpha human to be the pack leader. Positive reinforcement, especially with food, is what they will respond to best. These dogs are energetic and need a lot of room to run. If they are not provided with enough exercise they may become bored and destructive. In general, the Karelian Bear Dog is not recommended for an inexpereinced dog owner.
