If a Golden Retriever is bred with a Huskie, the doggy mix can vary quite greatly.

Sometimes called a Goberian and others a "Golden Husky," the characteristics of both dogs surely standout in their pups.

Some Goberians have the coloring of a classic Husky – black and white – while others have kept their golden glow.
