What is a Golden Mountain Dog?
A Golden Mountain Dog is a mixture of the Bernese Mountain Dog and the Golden Retriever. As such, it is not a pure bred dog. Since the dog is a mix of two breeds, it is not possible to predict which traits they will have. They can have a combination of traits from each parent and so the golden mountain dog will have traits from both the Golden Retriever, as well as the Bernese Mountain Dog.

Temperament wise, the Golden Mountain Dog displays a calm, affectionate temperament and are very intelligent. This is because both it’s antecedent breeds display these traits. In addition, they are likely to be more healthy that most purebred dogs due to the reduced chance of recessive genes in the gene pool.
Also called Berners, the Bernese Mountain Dog has a low life span (around 7 years) and is highly susceptible to cancer. These proclivities might carry forward into the offspring and affect the health of your Golden Mountain Dog too.
