The Alaskan Goldenmute is a striking and relatively rare designer dog breed, created by crossing the loyal Alaskan Malamute with the ever-popular Golden Retriever. This combination results in a majestic, bear-like companion that’s winning hearts everywhere — not just for its looks, but also for its personality.
Alaskan Goldenmutes are large, powerful dogs with thick, plush coats that can range from golden to creamy white to darker hues with gray or black markings. They often inherit the Malamute’s wolf-like face and the Golden Retriever’s expressive, friendly eyes. Many people compare them to small bears, thanks to their broad heads, dense fur, and hefty build, typically weighing between 60 to 90 pounds. Their double coat is weather-resistant, making them well-suited for colder climates.
These dogs are as affectionate as they are impressive. Alaskan Goldenmutes are known for their gentle, loving nature, combining the Golden Retriever’s playful friendliness with the Malamute’s loyalty and protectiveness. They are usually great with children and make devoted family pets. However, due to the Malamute’s working-dog roots, they can also show an independent streak, so early training and socialization are important.
Alaskan Goldenmutes are high-energy dogs that need plenty of exercise. Daily walks, play sessions, and mentally stimulating activities like puzzle toys or obedience training are essential to keep them happy and prevent boredom. They love outdoor adventures — from hiking to swimming — and thrive in active households. Regular grooming is also a must, as their dense coat sheds seasonally and benefits from brushing several times a week.

As with any mixed breed, Alaskan Goldenmutes can inherit health issues from either parent. Common concerns include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and certain heart conditions. Responsible breeders will test for these, but owners should also ensure their dogs receive regular vet checkups, a balanced diet, and proper exercise to maintain long-term health.
Alaskan Goldenmutes offer the best of both worlds: the Golden Retriever’s warmth and the Malamute’s strength and beauty. For those ready to commit to an active lifestyle and regular grooming, this bear-like companion will reward you with endless affection, loyalty, and unforgettable adventures.
