What little I know of hunting in Alaska beyond photos and films leads me to believe that dogs might be more hazard than help if the big bears are the game. The caribou videos I've seen wouldn't seem to need dogs in the hunt.
Moose seems a "maybe", but from videos I've seen, caring for a dog insofar as transporting him to camp via airplane or having him in a canoe isn't all that good an idea.
Most bird dogs are short-hair, so the climate is against them.
