Golden Retriever And Husky Mix Puppy Is A Fluffy Angel You Could Snuggle All Day

These days, it's seemingly all about designer mixed-breed dogs — goldendoodles, puggles, pomskies, you name it. At this point, any and all breeds have probably been blended, whether on purpose or by accident. Still, sometimes, you come across a hybrid that makes you do a double take, like this dog, Shea, who's part golden retriever, part Siberian husky. You're absolutely going to want to reach out and snuggle this fluffy puppy!

Captioned "POV: a golden retriever and a husky had a baby," the TikTok video then addresses that "people genuinely think she looks AI-generated," but the content creator assures watchers that Shea is just "my little unreal-looking baby." Indeed, the pup looks angelic, with soft-looking, feathery hair and the gorgeous coloring of a husky mixed with features of a goldie.

"What an adorable puppy, thank you for sharing! 🥰 I have never seen a golden retriever and husky mix before," noted one person in the comments, as some others dropped pics of their own goberians, as they're nicknamed. With such a unique look, it's easy to see why people think this mixed breed is almost too cute to be real!

Golden retrievers and Siberian huskies are two of the most popular dog breeds in the United States, so it's no wonder that a mix between them — informally called a goberian — would draw attention, a la Shea from TikTok. But what stands out about this non-pedigree hybrid breed?

Well, for one, the combination of the two attractive breeds leads to striking features. Beyond that, golden retrievers are known to be fantastic family dogs (especially in homes with kids) who were once exclusively bred to be hunting companions, while Siberian huskies have a reputation as highly active pets who are still associated with being dogged sled dogs. Combined, that makes goberians athletic, affectionate, and engaging household pets, averaging a medium-large build up to 80 pounds.

Of course, like any other dog, they come with caveats, like their thick double coat, which was tailored to bear harsh weather and comes with shedding — lots and lots of shedding. Meanwhile, both breeds are known for somewhat destructive behavior (often manifesting as excessive chewing), and huskies in particular have a knack for fast running and digging escape holes under fences. In the end, these things are well worth the trade-off for an adorably loyal companion!
