No, animals have to be in the same genus in order to mate. Bears are in the genus "Ursus", whereas dogs are in the genus "Canis". Dogs can be half wolf or half dingo, but not bear.

There is, however, a breed of dog with "bear" in its name - the Karelian Bear Dog, a black and white dog originated from Finland. Its breed name was derived from the fact that it can defend against bears.
