I agree with what's said here definitely not the English Mastiff for protection against bears an alarm yes...We live in the country and my big boy is absolutely terrified of strange wildlife...Diesel will sit in the back yard and bark continually at the rabbits, ravens and deer until they leave but never would he even consider chasing after them...He is just a huge huggable, loveable marshmallow...My German Shepherds on the other hand would be gone after them in a heartbeat if given the opportunity...There is a dog called a Karelian Bear Dog and that is their sole purpose to hunt bear and offer protection against them ...Here is a link...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karelian_Bear_Dog
