Dog Breeds That Look Like Bears

5. The Caucasian Shepherd

Fearless and self-confident, these dogs are predator deterrents. First-century historical accounts indicate that troops of the Armenian tsar, Tigran, fought alongside the Caucasian Shepherd. This breed, also known as the Caucasian Ovcharkha, is a physically powerful dog, who has a strong fondness for its humans. These dogs have sharp hearing and excellent sight capabilities and may weigh up to 200 pounds when fully grown. A Caucasian Shepherd resembles a bear from birth, with its bright eyes and barely visible ears hidden beneath tufts of soft fur. Their coats are thick and dense, with longer fur around the neck and tail, adding to their bear-like appearance.
