Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds are two of the most iconic dog breeds around. One of them is known for their unwavering loyalty, while the other is famous for their highly protective nature.
But what if you could combine these two breeds into one? What would a Golden Shepherd be like? A golden ray of protection? A wickedly smart canine companion with permanently velvety puppy ears, a goofy demeanor, and an adorable love of water?
Yes, yes, yes, and yes! All of these things can be true; they can be real, for as this heartwarming video shows, Golden Shepherds are real, and when you follow this one from his adorable puppyhood to his glorious adulthood, you will know how wonderful these dogs really are.
The adorable Golden Shepherd in this video goes by the name of Bear. According to this video, his mama was a German Shepherd, and his daddy was a Golden Retriever.
As a result of this unique lineage, Bear grew up with two distinctive canine personalities mixed into one very beautiful and eclectic body. He has a classic Golden Retriever head and the fluffy coat with the typical fur colors of a German Shepherd.

As this video puts it, Bear is “built like protection, vibes like sunshine.” Watching him lie around on his comfy bed, looking around the room, he gives off the total “hey, does everyone want to be my friend?” vibes of a Golden Retriever.
Dogs really don’t get much more adorable than this!
This other video really demonstrates this dog’s dual nature. Out and about in the world during a car ride, notice how alert they are, diligently scanning the horizon, always on the lookout for anything.
But once they are back home safe and sound, their goofy Golden Retriever side comes out to play. And what is their toy of choice in this instance? Why, it is a red little cherry tomato.
Unsurprisingly, this tiny cherry tomato proves to be quite entertaining, especially with how adorable Bear is while he plays with it!
Bear, the Golden Shepherd, is without a doubt an exceptionally adorable canine companion. With his silly disposition and beautiful coat that looks like well-toasted bread, we think it’s safe to say that this fur baby is stealing hearts everywhere!
