Too hairy
The Alaskan Malamute puppy is another one that looks a lot like a cub. However, as this puppy grows, it starts to look a lot like a wolf. When this breed is a little younger, it will usually have so much fluff and huge legs. You would think it will turn into one majestic bear. However, it is really just a playful dog.
Tibetan Mastiffs, are also easily mistaken for bears because of just how large they are. When they are still young, the resemblance is even more unbelievable. This is because they are so fluffy. The dogs are plump at a young age and also stocky, with so many of a cub’s characteristics. Honestly, it could easily pass for a bear at just about any age.
