History: Also called the Bernese Golden Mountain Dog, the Golden Mountain Dog is a mix between the Golden Retriever and the Bernese Mountain Dog. Because it is a fairly new designer dog breed, there isn't much information out there on the history or origins of the Golden Mountain Dog. However, information regarding the breed's heritage can be found by looking at the histories of the Golden Mountain Dog's parent breeds. In terms of club recognition, the Golden Mountain dog is registered by the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), the Designer Breed Registry (DBR), and several other clubs for designer and hybrid dogs.

Temperament: Affectionate, friendly, and loyal, Golden Mountain Dogs are gentle giants. They are a social breed and are eager to make friends with everyone, including children, strangers, and other pets. As long as a Golden Mountain Dog is around people, they are happy. Due to their working dog heritage, Golden Mountain Dogs like being kept busy and enjoy having a job to do. Without enough mental and physical stimulation, these dogs may become bored and, as a result, destructive. In terms of training, Golden Mountain Dogs are very intelligent and eager to please, so training is not difficult. These dogs are quick learners, so they'll catch onto new commands and tricks with ease. When training a Golden Mountain Dog, positive reinforcement techniques, like treats and praise, usually work best. All things considered, the Golden Mountain Dog is a great choice for anyone who's looking for an active and devoted companion.
