Any one feel that the language of this article is far too technical? It uses a lot of scientific words and gives a lot of figures, but doesn't really say much. 162.83.254.190 ( talk) 03:00, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Note the expansion and clarity currently displayed. This uses a similar appearance on other articles of "bear dogs". Noles1984 ( talk) 23:18, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
As you know, sometimes "Bear Dog" means an animal which is intermediate between a bear and a dog. It's like Mole Shrew. But as you will immediately understand, the term can also be a dog which is named after the fact that it's used to hunt bears, like "bird dog" or "wolf hound" or some such. I arrived at this page looking for the latter, but was offered no re-direct. I know that that there is at least one dog called a "bear dog", but can't find its article. It's called something like a "Kartelian Bear Dog", I know that's not correct, but it's not to far off. It started with a "k" and ended with "-ian", and then "Bear Dog". There may be more, I don't know. Can we find that and any other such bear dogs and put a redirect at the top of the page so lost people like me can find their way to the bear dog that they are looking for? Thanks for any attention you could give to this matter.
Oh, by the way, interesting article about this referent. The only thing I think it needs is an artist's reconstruction, a drawing or painting, or two. I know that's hard to find the rights for. Chrisrus ( talk) 06:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Adding videos to the topic would gain more attention and make for a better presentation. If people here were willing, my own site is dedicated to 3d art and we have people who make 3d mesh characters where we could do some art for Wiki a lot cheaper than special effects groups charge. But this topic could definately be improved. I'm not good at editing Wiki pages so I don't want to add anything and screw this up but if anyone else is interested in contributing more to this article or considering adding new segments here for each of the bear dogs than all being separate, it would be much easier to add information when more discoveries are made about this powerful beast.

Is this animal closely related, or have some similarities to, a hyena? That restoration looks almost like a spotted hyena, except with a smaller body and thinner tail (Sorta like a mongoose or lemur). And 'bear dog' is kinda what a Hyena literally is and looks like (though for some reason it's more related to cats than either?).

I’m looking at Wikipedia’s other charts on the subject, and they seem to put the Bear Dog closet to bears than dogs. Is there a way we can figure out which grouping is correct? Dogblock ( talk) 14:06, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Megan B.... It’s all coming to me till the end of time 09:56, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
Bear dog → Amphicyonidae – "Bear dog" is a colloquial title that is only informally used, and does not satisfy the criterion for being a "Common name" for this group Hemiauchenia ( talk) 01:59, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
