Background history
Dogs and hunters have been hunting together over 20,000 years. A dog's purpose is to pressure game out of laurel thickets. You can find a bear in laurel thickets. Bear baiting and selling bear parts is illegal. Hunting with dogs became a sport. 6000 years ago Pointers, Shepherds, Mastiffs, Greyhounds and wolf mix breeds started to be used. They bred these dogs together to make new dogs.
Adult bears usually weigh between 125 and 400 pounds, although bears weighing 600 pounds or more are not uncommon. Adult female bears achieve a maximum weight of 150 to 300 pounds while adult male bears achieve a maximum weight of 300 to 600 pounds.
