Golden Retrievers are some of the best companion dogs because of their easygoing, playful personalities. They’re often known for their high levels of intelligence and their endless loyalty. Because of this, Golden Retrievers are one of the most desirable dog breeds, and many people will go out of their way to find a dog with these lovable traits.

Getting to Know the Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever was first bred in the Victorian Era. Between 1840 and 1890, a man named Dudley Marjoribanks kept records of his dog breeding, trying to make the perfect dog. He wanted to create a dog that was suitable for both rainy climates and rugged terrains, who would initially be used as a gundog. That’s how he ended up creating the Golden Retriever.

Today, Golden Retrievers are primarily known as companion dogs though. They are great family dogs because they get along with just about everyone they meet. They even love children, as long as those kids know how to properly behave around dogs. They also love to run around and play, so they need a family who’s able to spend lots of time with them.

What many people forget is that Golden Retrievers shed a lot. They have a double coat, which means they have a protective outer layer and a dense inner layer of fur. They need to be brushed several times a week in order to get all the loose fur out. They’re also fairly active, so they need a family that’s willing to give them about an hour of exercise each day.

Golden Retrievers are also known to make great service dogs. Their intelligence and loyalty make it easy for them to learn specific tasks to assist humans with disabilities.

Recommendations

If you’re looking for a running buddy or a dog to exercise with, then Golder Boxers, Goberians, and Golden Shepherds are the best options for you. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a lazy dog to relax with, then Great Golden Danes or Golden Bullmastiff Retrievers would be better choices.

If you’re looking for a dog that’s good for first-time dog parents, you might want to consider the Beago or Golden Cocker Retriever. However, if you’re home often and looking for a dog to keep you on your toes, Golden Chow Retrievers and Golden Border Retrievers will make great companions if you truly commit to them.

Top 21 Most Popular Golden Retriever Mixes

Are you interested in welcoming a Golden Retriever mix into your home? Here’s a more detailed description of each mix’s temperament.

1. Golden Retriever Poodle Mix (Goldendoodle)

Life Span	10 – 15 years
Temperament	Outgoing, friendly, intelligent, affectionate
Average Height	22 – 29 inches
Average Weight	60 – 90 pounds
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

Goldendoodles are such popular dogs that many people forget that they’re mixed breeds as opposed to purebreds. These dogs gained popularity after Labradoodles were first bred as guide dogs for those who were allergic to Labrador Retrievers. But today, these Poodle mixes have gotten a little out of hand and far from what the creator intended for them to be. They’re now popular designer dogs, and many people have fallen in love with them due to their social personalities and curly coats.

These dogs are so much more than just cute faces though. Like most large breeds, they can be a lot of work! Since they are large dogs with minimal shedding, their grooming needs are high. They should be brushed several times a week, otherwise, they could easily develop dense tangles called mats. Mats can be painful for dogs because they apply a lot of pressure on one area of the body. So, if you don’t brush your dog enough, those mats could become impossible to brush out. Your Goldendoodle should visit the groomer about every 6 to 8 weeks, but if they have too many mats, the groomer might have to shave them down and have you start over with growing out their hair. Groomers only do this for the health and safety of your dog.

Grooming needs aside, Goldendoodles are very fun dogs to have around. They get along with just about everyone they meet and they’re usually easy to train. They’re incredibly active dogs though, similar to both Golden Retrievers and Poodles. They love going for regular walks, but they also enjoy more intense exercise too, such as swimming or agility courses. Due to their dense coats, they often do best in cooler weather though.

2. German Shepherd Golden Retriever Mix (Golden Shepherd)

Life Span	10 – 14 years
Temperament	Loyal, active, protective, alert
Average Height	17 – 25 inches
Average Weight	55 – 80 pounds
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

The Golden Shepherd comes from two active parents, so of course, these dogs love to run around too. These dogs do best in a home that has a large yard for them to run around in on top of going on regular walks. If a Golden Shepherd is not given enough exercise and attention each day, it can be prone to destructive behaviors. They’re smart dogs with constant energy, so they’re not good dogs for beginners.

Despite having “Golden” in the name, these dogs usually look more like German Shepherds than Golden Retrievers. They usually have darker coat colors and pointy ears like their German Shepherd parent. Their coats will always be thick, straight, and heavy shedding because both breeds are known for excessive shedding. You’ll need to brush your Golden Shepherd regularly to ensure that you get all the loose fur out.

German Shepherds are known for their protective instincts, so if not properly socialized, this mixed breed could develop some aggressive behaviors too. In general, they are very loving dogs like their parents, but every dog needs to be trained and socialized on a regular basis. Visiting the dog park and other public places can help your Golden Shepherd get used to being around unfamiliar people and dogs.

3. Golden Retriever Husky Mix (Goberian)

Life Span	10 – 15 years
Temperament	Loyal, active, alert, affectionate, smart
Average Height	22 – 24 inches
Average Weight	50 – 90 pounds
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

The beautiful appearance of a Golden Retriever and Siberian Husky mix is stunning! Their colors can vary greatly between the lighter colors of a Golden Retriever and the dark grays of a Husky. In fact, they can even have the irresistible blue eyes of a Husky too. But don’t be fooled by their sweet faces because these high-maintenance pups are sure to keep you busy.

It’s no secret that Huskies need exercise. After all, they’re capable of pulling heavy sleds! So, the Goberian is also born to run. They require at least an hour of intense exercise each day. This could include walking, hiking, jogging, or visiting the dog park. If you ignore these high exercise requirements, your Goberian will get restless and resort to bad behaviors. This means excessive barking, chewing, and digging. So, they need a family with a particularly active lifestyle. They’re also not recommended for apartment living.

Like Huskies, Goberians are also built to handle extreme weather conditions. In the summer, their double coat protects them from sunburn and in the winter, it keeps them nice and toasty. So, you should never shave their fur because it could damage those extra layers of protection. However, weekly brushing is crucial though, especially in the spring and fall. That will prevent their loose fur from getting all over your furniture.

4. Golden Retriever Lab Mix (Goldador)

Life Span	10 – 15 years
Temperament	Friendly, affectionate, intelligent, cheerful
Average Height	22 – 24 inches
Average Weight	60 – 80 pounds
Trainability	Very easy to train
Exercise Needs	Moderate

As you can imagine, the Goldador is like a Labrador Retriever, only with fluffier fur like a Golden Retriever. These dogs are a mix of two of the most popular dogs in the world, so it’s highly likely that they’ll have plenty of desirable qualities. Their coat colors are usually either cream, black, or brown, and they need brushing multiple times a week to better control the shedding.

Goldadors are known for their affectionate, playful, and friendly natures. Like both their parents, they get along with just about everyone they meet, even children. They’re always eager to please their humans, which makes training them very easily. However, it also means that they can be overly sensitive, so focus on positive reinforcements when training them. They can make great guide dogs since both Labs and Golden Retrievers have the ideal temperaments for working dogs.

Their lovable personality doesn’t automatically make them laid-back dogs though. These mixed breeds can enjoy a lazy day now and then, but they also love to explore, exercise and play. They love intense exercises, such as running, hiking, and swimming, but of course, regular walks are exciting for them too. However, their exercise needs are considered more moderate than other large dogs, which can cause them to become overweight couch potatoes if you’re not careful.

5. Golden Retriever Border Collie Mix (Golden Collie)

Life Span	10 – 15 years
Temperament	Intelligent, active, friendly, social
Average Height	19 to 24 inches
Average Weight	45 – 75 pounds
Trainability	Very easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

The Golden Collie is a bundle of energy, just like one would expect. Border Collies are herding dogs, so they love to be on the move, and if they have a job to do, that’s best for them. These mixed breeds are often the same way because if they don’t get the attention they desire, they could develop destructive behaviors. They’re smarter than most other dog breeds, so regular training and mental stimulation exercises are the best ways to keep their minds busy.

These mixed breeds also love people. They’re even patient around children. However, since they have some herding dogs in their blood, they might have a tendency to herd children and small animals, so they should always be supervised in those situations. If your Golden Collie has plenty of other tasks to keep them busy, then they’re more likely to behave themselves. Agility courses are perfect for this mixed breed.

They can be black and white like a Border Collie, but they could also be a solid color, such as gold, white, or black. Their coat is usually fairly dense, so it will shed occasionally. Brushing your mixed breed at least once a week can help to get that excess fur out of their coat. You might notice that their fur is a bit wavier than both of their parents’ breeds.

6. Golden Retriever Pitbull Mix (Golden Bull Terrier)

Life Span	10 – 14 years
Temperament	Sensitive, loyal, caring, friendly, affectionate
Average Height	20 – 24 inches
Average Weight	45 – 90 pounds
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

Sadly, the American Pit Bull Terrier gets a bad reputation simply because they’re a “Pit Bull” breed. Many people assume that any of these dogs are inherently dangerous, which is simply not the case. This mixed breed is especially sweet, loving, and loyal to their family members. They especially love children, and they will always make sure to keep young kids safe. They’re sensitive dogs that want nothing more than to please their loved ones, so make sure you train them by focusing on positive reinforcements.

Golden Bull Terriers usually inherit the short coat of an American Pit Bull Terrier rather than a dense Golden Retriever coat. Since American Pit Bull Terriers have such a wide variety of coat colors, this mixed breed can have almost any fur color imaginable. When it comes to grooming, they’re very low maintenance. They shed a little, so weekly brushing is important, but their fur won’t get easily matted like dogs with denser coats. Their thin coats make them more sensitive to cold weather though.

These mixed breeds love to be active. If it were up to them, they’d like to play all day long, but about an hour of exercise, a day is enough to suffice. They especially love running around in the yard or playing with other dogs at the dog park. However, since these dogs are often misunderstood, you’ll want to make sure your Golden Bull Terrier is trained exceptionally well before you bring them into public areas. That way, you can ensure that your dog and those around you will stay happy and safe.

7. Golden Retriever Australian Shepherd Mix (Australian Retriever)

Life Span	12 – 15 years
Temperament	Active, protective, affectionate, intelligent
Average Height	19 – 23 inches
Average Weight	25 – 60 pounds
Trainability	Very easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

Like the Golden Border Retriever, the Australian Retriever is also a mixed breed that’s a part herding dog. Thus, they love to run. They prefer walks and games of fetch that last for up to an hour each day. If they don’t get enough exercise and mental stimulation, they can easily grow bored and find undesirable ways to entertain themselves. If you have a fenced-in yard, that’s a great way to let them run around and get rid of their excess energy. They do well in all climates, so extreme weather conditions won’t suppress their energy.

Australian Shepherds and Golden Retrievers both have thick, fluffy coats of fur. So, you can expect your Australian Retriever to be extra soft as well. Weekly brushing can greatly benefit their coat condition because it can prevent tangles and remove loose fur. Baths can help keep them extra soft too, but a good bath is really only needed a couple of times a year.

Like all dogs, Australian Retrievers have their quirks. They’re loyal and affectionate toward their humans, but they can be overly protective of their surroundings. So, they should always be monitored when children are around. Luckily, these dogs are very easy to train, especially with positive reinforcements involved. Regularly practicing tricks and commands is a great way to fight their boredom.

8. Golden Retriever Cocker Spaniel Mix (Golden Cocker Retriever)

Life Span	10 – 15 years
Temperament	Affectionate, loyal, loving, playful
Average Height	20 – 24 inches
Average Weight	30 – 45 inches
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

Golden Cocker Retrievers are smaller than most Golden Retriever mixes, but they’re just as lovable. They have beautiful thick coats that can come in a variety of colors, and they usually look more like a Golden Retriever than a Cocker Spaniel. They only shed moderately, but their dense fur can get knotted easily. So, it’s recommended that you brush them more than once a week to keep them healthy.

These dogs are usually excellent companions for all families. Yet, their traits can vary slightly. Some are more relaxed and docile while others have plenty of excess energy. Either way, they will always be friendly and have big hearts. Unfortunately, it’s possible for them to develop a bad habit of barking at strangers, so early training and socialization are key.

Even though Cocker Spaniels are usually more laid back, Golden Cocker Retrievers love to run. They can play fetch for hours and they’re happy to go for runs by your side. They love training with their humans too because it’s a great bonding experience. They would do best in a home with a fenced-in yard to allow them to run and play to their heart’s content. For that same reason, they’re not recommended for apartment living.

9. Golden Retriever Great Pyrenees Mix (Golden Pyrenees)

Life Span	10 – 13 years
Temperament	Protective, alert, affectionate, stubborn
Average Height	24 – 30 inches
Average Weight	70 – 115 pounds
Trainability	Somewhat difficult to train
Exercise Needs	High

If you have a Golden Pyrenees, get ready to have fur everywhere. They have thick light-colored coats like both their parents, which sheds often and easily get tangled. It can help protect them from extreme weather conditions, but it can be a pain for dog parents to deal with. Daily brushing is recommended to keep this excess fur under control, but you could likely get away with only doing it a few times a week.

These dogs love to exercise, especially if it involves exploring outside. They can play games with you for hours on end and they’re always happy to tag along for more unusual exercise routines, such as hiking or running. However, they dislike hot weather due to their thick coats, so you’ll need to have shorter exercise sessions during warm months. If these dogs don’t have an exercise routine, they can easily get lazy and gain weight.

Like most large breeds, these pups are gentle giants. They have nothing but love and affection for their humans. They’re also great watchdogs and are always on the lookout for danger. When it comes to training, they can be stubborn. If they don’t feel like listening to you, then they might just tune you out. They don’t mind being around kids, but they can be clumsy and accidentally knock small children over. So, they should always be supervised by kids and other animals.

10. Golden Retriever Chow Chow Mix (Golden Chow Retriever)

Life Span	12 – 14 years
Temperament	Protective, stubborn, independent, alert
Average Height	20 – 25 inches
Average Weight	50 – 75 pounds
Trainability	Difficult to train
Exercise Needs	Moderate

Chow Chows are known for their incredibly fluffy coats, so it’s likely that your Golden Chow Retriever will be extra soft as well. Their coats are always long, dense, and straight, but they could have a variety of colors, including gold, black, or red. Daily brushing is essential to control these dogs’ shedding and to prevent their fur from getting matted. If you’re not looking to spend that much time grooming your dog, then this isn’t the mixed breed for you.

There’s a common misconception that Chow Chows love to cuddle since they’re so fluffy. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. They are one of the most independent and reserved breeds, so it’s likely that this mixed breed will pick up on some of those traits. They can act aggressive and protective, especially when they meet strangers. Training can help redirect these behaviors, but you’ll need to be patient to get past this dog’s stubborn attitude. They are best in a family with no children.

Despite being so large, these dogs don’t have nearly as much energy as other Golden Retriever mixes. They prefer to lounge around instead of running and playing. They still need a walk or two a day and plenty of room to roam, but they won’t make you out of breath after exercise sessions. They’re best in a large home with a fenced-in yard as opposed to an apartment. Golden Chow Retrievers also dislike the heat due to their thick coats.

11. Golden Retriever Bernese Mountain Dog Mix (Golden Mountain Dog)

Life Span	9 – 15 years
Temperament	Affectionate, adventurous, alert, friendly
Average Height	24 – 28 inches
Average Weight	75 – 120 pounds
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

The Golden Mountain Dog is another gentle giant who is eager to please humans. They are great for families because they get along with just about everyone they meet, including humans, dogs, and even cats. In general, they’re a fairly quiet breed, but they might bark if provoked by a stranger. However, they’re only doing it to protect you because they love you very much. While they love to eat, they’re often more motivated by love and attention than treats.

Their thick coats make them great outdoor dogs, but only if the weather is colder. During the hot summer months, they can get exhausted very easily. So, when the weather is scorching, make sure you split up their exercise into shorter, more frequent sessions to avoid heat stroke from prolonged activities. They love to exercise when the weather is suitable for them. They’ll gladly go walking, hiking, and even running beside your bike if you’ll allow it. Like most large breeds, they love nothing more than a good adventure.

Golden Mountain Dogs usually have the colors of a Bernese Mountain Dog, but the structure of a Golden Retriever. Their coats and long and dense, making them likely to shed all over your home. Their dark coats will leave fur all over your home, so regular brushing and vacuuming will be needed to take control of the shedding. In general, their coats are good at keeping dirt and debris out, but they should still have occasional baths as needed.

12. Golden Retriever Dachshund Mix (Golden Dox)

Life Span	10 – 14 years
Temperament	Playful, goofy, friendly, outgoing
Average Height	10 – 23 inches
Average Weight	30 – 60 pounds
Trainability	Somewhat difficult to train
Exercise Needs	High

Breeding a large dog with a smaller dog usually results in a more unusual pair, but the Golden Dox is sure to steal your heart. Their size can vary greatly, but it’s likely that they’ll have a long body and short legs like a Dachshund. However, regardless of their size, it’s most common for them to have long, soft coats like a Golden Retriever. They tend to get matted very easily, so if you don’t brush them almost daily, you’ll likely need to turn to a professional groomer for help.

Surprisingly, these short pups are very active. They can run around for an hour a day and still not be tired. So, you cannot neglect daily exercise. In many cases, this could include regular walks, but Golden Dox enjoy new adventures more than anything, including swimming, playing fetch, and running. They’re also smart dogs that need plenty of training and other forms of mental stimulation. Otherwise, they might find destructive ways to keep busy.

Since both parents are known for being friendly breeds, the Golden Dox will certainly inherit those lovable traits. They enjoy being around families with kids, and they’re usually very accepting of strangers. They can be sensitive at times, so positive reinforcement is key. They can be stubborn, so you need to reassure them that they’re doing a good job. You might need a little extra patience with training though.

13. Golden Retriever Rottweiler Mix (Golden Rottie Retriever)

Life Span	10 – 12 years
Temperament	Loyal, protective, sensitive, alert, active
Average Height	24 – 28 inches
Average Weight	60 – 90 pounds
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

Rottweilers often get a bad reputation, but the Golden Rottie Retriever couldn’t be sweeter! This mixed breed combines two sweet, sensitive dogs, so these pups will certainly be loyal. However, like with any dog, you need to work on training regularly to ensure that they behave. Golden Rottie Retrievers have a tendency to be overprotective of their loved ones, which should be redirected to avoid aggressive behaviors in the future. But remember to focus on positive reinforcements because these dogs don’t handle criticism well.

This mixed breed’s appearance can vary slightly since Golden Retrievers have dense, fluffy coats while Rottweilers tend to have thin, more coarse fur. Either way, your Golden Rottie Retriever is sure to shed. They won’t need as much brushing as a purebred Golden Retriever, but about once a week is a good routine to have. Their fur is almost always darker like a Rottweiler.

As you can imagine, this dog needs lots of exercise just like the parent breeds. They thrive when they get at least an hour or two of exercise each day. They’re bred using two working dogs, so they love having a job to do or plenty of activities to keep them busy. They won’t be able to handle sitting inside all day, so they need a family that can commit to them as much as possible. They prefer a larger home with a fenced-in yard to run around in.

14. Golden Retriever Irish Setter Mix (Golden Irish)

Life Span	10 – 13 years
Temperament	Lively, friendly, playful, active, intelligent
Average Height	21 – 28 inches
Average Weight	55 – 80 pounds
Trainability	Very easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

A Golden Irish will always have the long, silky fur that both parents have. However, the color of the coat could vary. Gold, red, and brown are the most common coat colors that this mixed breed can have. Their fine coat sheds moderately, so brushing at least once a week is recommended. Since they have long, floppy ears, they’re more prone to ear infections. So, check their ears whenever you brush them and clean their ears if they smell unusual.

These dogs are usually very friendly, and they’re always happy to meet new people and dogs. They love to visit new places, so if you ever go to a park or an outdoor restaurant, make sure you don’t leave them behind. They also have a sense of adventure and a prey drive, so you might find them exploring outside as much as they can. As an intelligent mixed breed, they’re eager to learn, so work on training with them daily.

These energetic pups also prefer to have around an hour of exercise each day. They have the ideal temperament for agility courses and any other kind of competition. They love long walks, and if you have a fenced-in yard, they’ll enjoy sitting out there as long as you’ll let them. They don’t do well in apartments, so you’ll want to make sure you have plenty of available space for them.

15. Golden Retriever Bullmastiff Mix (Golden Bullmastiff Retriever)

Life Span	9 – 11 years
Temperament	Gentle, lazy, protective, loving, alert
Average Height	23 – 27 inches
Average Weight	85 – 110 pounds
Trainability	Somewhat difficult to train
Exercise Needs	Moderate

When you think of a Bullmastiff, you probably think of a massive dog that towers over all the other breeds. In many cases, the same is true for a Golden Bullmastiff Retriever. They have a large, solid structure, but they don’t shed nearly as much as a purebred Golden Retriever. Instead, they usually inherit the shorter coat of a Bullmastiff, which sheds only a little and requires minimal maintenance. Their coats are usually either brown, gold, or brindle.

Despite being so large, these dogs only have moderate energy levels. They are fine just going on long, casual walks throughout the day as opposed to actively running or playing. Most of the time, they prefer to just lounge around and take a well-deserved nap. They are fairly tolerant to all weather conditions, and they don’t need a ton of space to roam around. So, they can live in apartments, but they might knock things over with their towering structure.

These gentle giants are also great with children. They’re generally quiet and caring toward people of all ages. However, they can be hesitant around unfamiliar humans. So, they might growl to protect children from strangers, but they’ll usually keep to themselves otherwise. With training, they can be very set in their ways. So, be patient and consistent with training sessions to help curb their bad behaviors.

16. Golden Retriever Beagle Mix (Beago)

Life Span	10 – 14 years
Temperament	Friendly, playful, curious, loyal
Average Height	17 – 20 inches
Average Weight	35 – 55 pounds
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	Moderate

Beagles and Golden Retriever are both very lovable dogs. So, a Beago is known for having a family-friendly personality too. They usually get along with just about everyone, and they love to play. If you have other pets in the house, your Beago will likely try to show them as much love and affection as possible. They love kids, but they can get annoyed if small children are too rough with them. So, it’s important that you encourage your kids to give your dog space when needed.

Beagos are also low maintenance in terms of grooming. Their fur is usually short like a Beagle’s, so it’s unlikely to get tangled. They shed only a little bit, so you’ll only need to brush them when you feel it’s necessary. They are prone to ear problems though, so check their ears on a regular basis. Be on the lookout for any unpleasant smells or unusual redness. Your Beago will likely itch their ear more often when something is wrong.

These mixed breeds also just need a normal amount of exercise. They love to run around and play, but they’ll need breaks just like you. The best activities for them are going on long walks, visiting the dog park, and playing with them outside. If they’re left alone for too long, they’ll easily get bored and chew on anything they can find. So, make sure you set aside plenty of time for you and your Beago to bond.

17. Golden Retriever Great Dane Mix (Great Golden Dane)

Life Span	8 – 11 years
Temperament	Relaxed, gentle, friendly, loyal
Average Height	25 – 29 inches
Average Weight	75 – 140 pounds
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	Moderate

Great Golden Danes can be intimidating due to their large size, but they’re nothing but big sweethearts. Their coat colors can greatly vary based on the color of their Great Dane parent. However, their coats are often a perfect mix of their two parents: short, dense fur. Even though their coat looks harmless, it can shed like crazy, especially when the seasons change. So, it’s recommended that you brush them several times a week.

Despite their towering structure, Great Golden Danes don’t require an excessive amount of exercise. They love going for daily walks, but they also love getting plenty of time to nap. As these dogs age, intense exercise can be hard on their joints. So, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you’re looking for an exercise buddy to run by your side or go on long adventures with, you should probably choose a different large dog instead.

Like Great Danes, these dogs are gentle. They’re very friendly around their loved ones and they’re even good with children. They are usually easy to train, but they can develop bad behaviors if you don’t spend enough time with them. Sometimes, they might develop dominant behaviors if there are other animals in the household, so it’s important to socialize them from an early age.

19. Golden Retriever Boxer Mix (Golden Boxer)

Life Span	10 – 15 years
Temperament	Affectionate, curious, playful, sensitive
Average Height	22 – 25 inches
Average Weight	50 – 75 pounds
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

Golden Boxers have big personalities. They’re mixed with two of the friendliest, most desirable dog breeds, so they’re likely to be bundles of joy. In general, these dogs are patient and quiet, especially if they’ve had proper training and socialization. They tend to get along with everyone they meet, even children. However, young children can be intimidating to a Golden Boxer, so if you have kids, make sure they know how to properly behave around dogs. These dogs can sometimes be wary of strangers, but will quickly warm up to people once they get to know them.

These pups also have loads of energy. They love to run, jump and play as much as possible. Because of this, they’re best suited for a large house with a fenced-in yard. Apartments are not ideal. Golden Boxers enjoy spending time outside, but they don’t like extreme temperatures. When it’s too hot, they’re prone to heatstroke, and their coats are often too thin for when it’s too cold. Always keep them on a leash when outside because they have a tendency to run off and chase prey.

The appearance of a Golden Boxer can vary greatly. Most have short fur like a Boxer while others have dense coats like a Golden Retriever. It’s also possible for them to inherit the flat face of a Boxer, which would make them prone to breathing problems. They need very little grooming beyond the occasional brushing and nail clipping.

19. Golden Retriever Alaskan Malamute Mix (Alaskan Goldenmute)

Life Span	10 – 12 years
Temperament	Active, intelligent, affectionate, adventurous
Average Height	22 – 25 inches
Average Weight	60 – 85 pounds
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

The Alaskan Goldenmute is a mix of two large fluffy dogs, so be prepared for lots of loose furs! Surprisingly, they can have nearly any coat color, and they often inherit the beautiful blue or hazel eyes of an Alaskan Malamute. Brushing is crucial for controlling this mixed breed’s shedding, so you should expect to brush them almost every day if possible.

These dogs love spending time outside and enjoying vigorous exercise. Normal walks likely won’t be enough to satisfy their adventurous needs. Most Alaskan Goldenmutes will want to go on a hike or run with you instead, even when the weather drops below freezing. These mixed breeds do best when they have a large yard to run around in, especially since they can tolerate all weather conditions well.

Alaskan Goldenmutes love their humans. If it was up to them, they’d spend every second of the day with you. Because of this, they’re prone to separation anxiety. They usually behave best if they have a consistent schedule throughout most days. Since they have so much energy, it’s easy for them to become bored and cause destruction. So, work on training with them regularly and find other ways to keep their mind moving, such as mental stimulation dog toys.

20. Golden Retriever Dalmatian Mix (Goldmation)

Life Span	11 – 12 years
Temperament	Intelligent, playful, loyal, alert
Average Height	19 – 23 inches
Average Weight	55 – 70 pounds
Trainability	Easy to train
Exercise Needs	High

Dalmatians are known for their beautiful black spots, but Goldmations don’t always have that unique color pattern. In most cases, they’re still black and white, but with long hair like a Golden Retriever. Thus, it can be difficult to see the spots in their coat. These dogs shed a little, so they should be brushed about once a week. Even though they’re very pretty dogs, they can get smelly easily or have excessive drooling.

The Goldmation is playful, smart, and very affectionate. They’re usually easy to train, but they should be socialized at an early age to prevent aggressive behaviors. They’re good watchdogs who love to protect their loved ones. They can be wary of strangers, so you need to make sure you keep control over them in public. They’re also prone to boredom and destructive behaviors, so give them plenty of mental stimulation toys to keep their mind busy.

These adorable dogs are not for first-time dog parents. They love to walk, run, and play several times throughout the day. They do best with humans who are home most of the time so they can get the intense exercise they crave. They do best in homes with large yards, but they can adapt to any environment as long as you give them plenty of love and attention.

Which Golden Retriever Mix is Right For You?

Choosing the perfect dog is never easy. Many people get too focused on one specific breed or mixed breed, which causes them to overlook other amazing dogs. Even though all these Golden Retrievers have their expectations and stereotypes, they are never guaranteed to fit their description. So, always look for a dog based on personality, not just a specific breed.

Mixed breeds are commonly found at rescues and shelters, so those are great places to start looking for your new best friend. Take time to meet with individual dogs so you can get a better idea of which one will be best for your family.

Remember that bringing home a new dog is a big decision. So, you’ll need to make sure you have enough time and money to fully care for them. Most Golden Retriever mixes require large amounts of exercise and playtime, so that should always be taken into consideration. Don’t ever rush into getting a dog because you need to be fully prepared to welcome that animal into your family.

History of the Golden Retriever Beagle Mix

The Golden Retriever Beagle mix is a cross between the ever-popular Golden Retriever and the Beagle.

The Beagle was originally bred in England during the 16^th century, where well-to-do Englishmen owned smaller hounds (beagles) which were used for hunting small prey like rabbits.

While the Golden Retriever was first bred in 1868 by Lord Tweedmouth when he mated a yellow wavy-coated retriever with a water spaniel and then crossed their offspring with bloodhounds, Irish Setters, and other Retrievers.

So, considering how long both of their parental breeds have been around, the Beago Retriever is considered to be a relatively new crossbreed created in the 1980s in the United States. This dog breed has participated in several dog sports, like competitive obedience and agility. Because of their high intelligence level and keen sense of smell, they have been widely used for search and rescue operations and the detection of narcotics.

Naturally, not all designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is not uncommon for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses. Therefore, it is not easy to say which breed your dog will take after more, the Golden or the Beagle. But what can be said is that this breed will surely be one awesome, great dog to add to your family!

Golden Retriever Beagle Mix Appearance

Because this breed is mixed, it is difficult to predict precisely what the puppy will look like. Just like with humans, all the children in the family can look different based on how many genes come from the mother versus the father. Same with puppies!

If the puppy takes after the Golden Retriever parent more, then the puppy will be bigger in size and weight. The hybrid breed could be between 21 and 24 inches tall and weigh 55 to 75 pounds. Male dogs tend to be on the higher side, while females are on the lower side.

If the puppy takes after the Beagle parent more, then the puppy will be a bit smaller in size and weight. Then it will probably be between 13 to 24 inches tall and weigh between 20 to 75 pounds. Again, the male leans toward the heavier end and the female toward the lighter end.

When it comes to the coat texture of the dog, it could be sleek and shiny like that of the beagle parent or long and thick like that of the Golden parent. With the coat texture, you usually get the middle ground and can expect medium-length hair. This mixed breed is generally more hypoallergenic than the parental breeds. If you are allergic to other dogs, this could be the breed for you. However, the Golden Retriever Beagle is known to be a medium to heavy shedder.

Now color is a whole different story. There are so many options for color, and it is pretty much anyone’s guess what the color will be! The color can range from black, brown, white, red, fawn, or cream, brindle (usually implies some striping), to pied (means light-colored skin with several dark patches.) So, the golden retriever beagle can be a single color to a mix with some striping or dark patches!! But no matter the color, they all are adorable!

Golden Retriever Beagle Mix Temperament

The disposition of this mixed breed is the best you could want from a pet! This particular breed loves people of all ages and loves to be with other pets in the family as well. Because of this, they make the best family pet addition.

One of the most likable characteristics of the Beago is how friendly they are. Don’t count on them to be a watchdog, but they will alert you when someone comes merely by their barking for attention. The barking is more of a “here I am, come pet me bark” versus an “I am here protecting my surroundings, and you do not belong” bark!

This breed is very affectionate. They have a huge desire to be petted and to lick you. They want to be close to their family, whether to play or just lay beside you while you are resting. They are not the type of dog that will stay quietly in a crate for an extended period of time alone. They love to be in social interactions and especially at the center of attention.

Beagos are extremely smart, and they understand the social situations they may be in and their human expectations of them.

While Beagos are high-energy dogs, they are usually calmer than their parental breeds. Be prepared though, because Beagos are high-energy dogs and crave attention, they do not like to be left home alone all day. If you leave your Beago alone to their own defenses too often, they could become quite destructive because of their boredom. They can also become quite anxious whenever they know you are leaving the house without them.

How Much Exercise Does A Golden Retriever Beagle Mix Need?

As mentioned before, the Beago is a highly active breed. At a minimum, they will require 45 to 60 minutes of running around time daily. That means rainy days, snowy days, and sunny days! This breed acts like a puppy even in their senior years when you are talking about their energy level!

And because of their high intelligence level, you must also include mental activities.

It is a plus to have a fenced-in yard for your Beago. Having a nice-sized fenced-in yard will allow them some run-around playtime on their own throughout the day. Taking them for two 30-minute daily walks is also a good idea.

Some other ideas for physical activity could be taking them to a doggie park to run around and socialize with other people and dogs. If you jog, hike, or run, take your Beago with you. Play ball or frisbee with your Beago. Of if you have children, let your Beago play with your children. But please, never leave any dog unattended with a young child.

Some ideas for mental stimulation for your Beago include: playing hide and seek, using food puzzles, creating obstacle courses for your Beago, and teaching them dog tricks, to name a few. After mental stimulation play time, put their toys away. You might even want to teach your Beago to put their own toys away. They love to please you, so make sure you praise and treat them with special snacks when they listen!

Training Your Golden Retriever Beagle

In view of the fact that this breed is very intelligent, it should go without saying that they are easily trainable. However, as with most breeds, it is essential that training is started when the pups are young, and it is consistent.

The Beago lives to please their owners. So, make sure you give plenty of positive reinforcement and yummy treats when training. Never yell or use harsh corrections when training unless it is to avoid serious harm to your pup.

Beagos are very sensitive. Yelling or hitting your pup when they do not listen will not work well when training. This kind of behavior will alienate your pet and cause the opposite effect.

Instead, redirect and reward them immediately when they follow instructions. Always use positive accolades when they listen, such as “great job, girl,” “good boy,” or “yeah, you did it!”

Since their parental breeds, the Golden Retriever and the Beagle, are very food oriented, it goes without saying that the Beago would respond well to yummy treats during training.

However, as with the parental breeds, the Beagos are prone to obesity. So, while giving yummy treats is almost necessary during training, ensure you follow up all those treats with some extra exercise.

Make sure you teach your pup all the usual commands, such as sit, stay, come, wait, and leave it. And you can teach them cool tricks like roll over, give me a paw or shake, play dead, and walk on their hind legs.

Part of your training should include socialization around new people and other pets. It should also include outdoor social interactions. Introduce your pup to new people and pets early, and take them to outdoor pet-friendly restaurants and pet-friendly stores so they learn what is expected from them at a young age.

To keep your Beago engaged and wanting to learn more, you will need to make training exciting and fun to keep their desire to learn what you are teaching ongoing. Remember, they live to please you, their owner.

Grooming and Care of the Golden Retriever Beago

The grooming of your Beago will depend on which parental breed it takes after the most. If your Beago’s coat is more like the Beagle parent, they will require little upkeep since Beagles have short coats. However, they will require more maintenance if they resemble the Golden Retriever parent with a longer coat. Beagles only need to be brushed about once a week, while Goldens require a minimum of every other day.

It is wise to start nail care early on. If you do not like using nail clippers on your pet, try introducing them to a Dremel early on. A Dremel is less traumatic to your pet than nail clippers. To properly introduce your pup to the Dremel, just touch it to their paws. If they are ok with that, praise them and treat them. Next, follow this by rubbing the Dremel against their nails, still with the Dremel off. Again, praise and treat. Let your pet smell it while you are praising and treating them. They will associate the Dremel as being good and them getting treats. Next, offer peanut butter on a toy (sometimes this is best done with two people), then turn the Dremel on. Let them get used to the noise and then rub it against their nails. Next thing you know, you will be filing down their nails like a pro – all the while, your Beago loves it because you are praising and treating, and they love to make you happy!

You will want to trim their nails before they get too long. Long nails become painful for your dog, and they tend to break off. Depending on how the nail breaks, it can create an opening that leads to infection. Plus, using a Dremel on shorter nails is much easier for you and your Beago.

You will want to bathe your Beago probably once a month. More if they are super active and get into a lot of dirt or mud. Bathing too frequently leads to dry skin. And always use shampoos made for dogs. Dish soap or human shampoo is too harsh for a dog’s skin.

Your Beago’s ears should be cleaned regularly to prevent infections caused by waxy buildup. Since they have floppy ears, they tend to be prone to yeast infections in their ears. Clean their ears weekly to prevent this.

Your Beago’s teeth should also be cleaned weekly. Again, use toothpaste that is meant for dogs. Giving your dog a dental cleaning treat (such as Greenies) daily is also a good idea; Greenies will keep plaque buildup to a minimum and keep their breath smelling fresh.

Lastly, proper feeding is crucial to the health of your Beago. Your pup will require between 1 ½ cup to 2 ½ cups of dry dog food daily of age-appropriate kibble, and it is best to divide this between two feedings. In addition, you can add a bit of canned dog food, cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt, or some cooked or raw egg to mix into the dry dog food to add some exciting flavor to the kibble to keep your dog happy.

You might prefer to feed your dog a raw diet or homemade food, which is fine. But please check with your vet to ensure you meet your pup’s nutritional needs. You might have to add some supplements to this kind of diet and adjust the amount of food given.

Health Issues of the Golden Retriever Beagle Mix

One of the main reasons breeders crossbreed dogs is to avoid the health concerns that the parental breeds are susceptible to. While Beagos are less vulnerable to the health issues of their parental breeds, that isn’t to say they do not have health issues you should be on the lookout for.

Some minor conditions that you should be aware of:

• Entropion
• Cataracts
• Retinal Dysplasia

These eye conditions could reduce your pup’s ability to see correctly and possibly lead to blindness, especially if left untreated.

Some serious conditions that you should be aware of:

• Pulmonic Stenosis
• Hip Dysplasia
• Elbow Dysplasia
• Von Willebrand’s Disease

While these conditions can be serious and/or life-threatening, your pup’s vet is aware of them and would be looking for them. Also, if you get your Beago from a breeder, you should ask for the health certificate of the parents so you can be aware if the parents had any of these conditions and alert your vet to the fact.

Interesting Tidbits About the Golden Retriever Beagle Mix

1. The Beago are wonderful with children and make great playmates for children of all ages. But that said, do not leave toddlers unattended with your Beago.
2. Beagos can be stubborn as puppies, especially when you are training them. Establish yourself as the alpha dog early on, and you won’t have any problems later.
3. They are extremely friendly, so do not depend on them to be a watchdog. While their barking will alert you to strangers, their barking is more of a request to be petted by the stranger than an attempt to scare the visitor away.
4. While the Beago is a high-energy dog, Beagos tend to be calmer than either of their parental breeds.
5. Beagos can have large, almost pleading adorable eyes. You can almost tell what your pet is thinking by looking at their expressive eyebrows. And you swear, when they look at you, they are looking deep into your soul. Don’t let their pleading eyes get to you, though, or your Beago will have you wrapped around their paw, and you will no longer be the alpha dog in charge! They will learn very quickly how to melt your heart and get their way – remember they are very smart!
6. Beagos can be nosier than most dogs. Beagles tend to howl and bark more than any other dog breed, and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when talking about Beagos. However, because they are so easy to train, you can quickly teach them not to bark so much. Just be consistent in your training.
7. Hunting is in the Beago’s genes. Both parental breeds were hunters and retrievers. Beagos have tons of energy because their parents were trained to hunt all day. Hunting is in the Beago’s blood, so do not be surprised if your Beago exhibits a strong prey drive.
