The Golden Mountain Dog is a crossbreed produced from a Golden Retriever and a Bernese Mountain Dog. This medium-sized, sturdy dog is known for being loyal and friendly, and is well-suited for hunting and tracking activities. Being swift and agile, it also does well in competitive obedience. Like its parents, it has almond-shaped eyes set deeply in its face, large floppy ears, and a moderately long tail.

Temperament and Behavior
The Golden Mountain Dogs, with affectionate, devoted, and pleasant disposition, are fond of human company, always eager to please their owners. They like to be with their family members and do well if included in some household activities.
These dogs are not aloof and shy with guests, but early training is needed to help them learn how to socialize with strangers. Since they are not naturally assertive and aggressive, they do not make good guard dogs. However, they remain watchful and alert, often seen warning their owners of the presence of intruders.
As the Golden Mt. Dogs are tolerant of kids, they like to spend time playing with them. Moreover, they are patient and friendly with other pets. Thus, these well-rounded pets make wonderful family dogs.
Care
Exercise
To keep your pet in top condition, a fair amount of vigorous activities is needed every day. Let your Golden Bernese Mountain dog jump, run, and play in a secured garden. In addition to hiking and jogging, it should be encouraged to participate in interactive playing sessions. Retrieving games played with a Frisbee, ball, and some soft toys will keep it the happiest.
Grooming
Brushing its coat 3-4 times a week helps keep its fur tangle-free as well as removes dead hair. Periodic bathing with mild dog shampoo maintains its neat, shiny look. Brushing its teeth, at least twice a week is advisable for the removal of tartar buildup, as also for the prevention of bacterial infection. Trim its nails every month since ingrown or overgrown nails could make walking uncomfortable for your pet.
Health Problems
Certain health conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia, von Willebrand’s disease, and progressive retinal atrophy are common causes of concern for this breed. Also, check for rashes, sores, redness, or other signs of infection in its nose, mouth, eyes, as well as on the skin.
Training
Exposing the puppies to different situations involving new animals and people is important for turning it into a well-mannered pet. Start acquainting it with some grooming techniques right from its puppyhood. Since dogs are overly sensitive about their feet, touch its paws frequently. You may also examine its mouth occasionally. With treats, praises, and rewards you can make housebreaking and obedience training a positive experience.
Feeding
Its diet should comprise quality foods with 18-26% protein content and less than 16% fat content. A decent amount of fresh foods including yogurt, raw or cooked meat, eggs, fish, or fresh fruits, like apple, pear or banana and vegetables, such as broccoli, squash, carrots or cooked pumpkin can be offered. When it comes to dry dog food, the recommended amount is 3-4 cups a day, provided that you divide it into two equal meals.
