Golden husky at a glance

The golden retriever husky mix is not a purebred dog and like most hybrid or designer dogs it is generally referred to by the portmanteau name of goberian which is the merging of the first two letters of the word golden and the last five letters of the word Siberian i.e go-berian. It is a cross of the golden retriever and the Siberian husky.

To have a better understanding of designer dogs, it is essential that you have some basic knowledge of purebred dogs and also what you get when two or more purebred dogs are crossed to produce the hybrid or designer dog like the goberian.
