Goldendoodles are high on the popularity list with pet parents. These ‘designer dogs’ combine two beloved breeds — the Golden Retriever and Poodle — resulting in a hybrid pooch that’s sweet, intelligent, and hypoallergenic. These two breeds have branched off into other hybrids, including the Golden Shepherd, Labradoodle, and Maltipoo.
Tootsie is a head-turning Golden Retriever-Bernese Mountain Dog mix with a rich, beautifully accented coat that could make you do a double-take.
In the TikTok from @tootsiedrama, the canine cutie gazed into her mom’s eyes with a heartmelting stare. Tootsie’s expression exuded pure love and adoration, almost like she could see into your soul.
“Half Golden. Half Bernese. All cute,” the onscreen text accurately described the precious pooch. Apparently, Tootsie’s charms had her mom wrapped around her paw, with the caption sharing, “Stop looking at me like that… I’m trying to be strong.”
Tootsie’s lush, classic black fur was accented with rust and gold highlights on her face, neck, snout, and paws. The honey-colored markings above her eyes looked like she had her brows professionally dyed and shaped.
The TikTok profile describes Tootsie as a drama queen, professional cuddle expert, and “your daily dose of cute”, which seem spot-on.
Golden Mountain Dogs Are Pure Love
This lovable hybrid — also known as the Golden Mountain Dog — comes from two very different-looking dogs. Golden Retrievers have that iconic honey-colored coat and long, lanky body, while Bernese Mountain Dogs boast the classic tri-colored fur and a more bulky build.
The Golden Mountain Dog is all heart — extremely friendly, loving, loyal, and affectionate. These compassionate canines make wonderful therapy and emotional support dogs, and are a top pick for families with young children. This crossbreed needs daily exercise and loves to play, yet they make plenty of time to snuggle.

Expect a large dog with this hybrid. Golden Mountain Dogs measure between 23 and 28 inches from paw to shoulder, and they can weigh anywhere between 70 and 120 pounds at adulthood with a muscular, athletic build.
And, like Tootsie so beautifully demonstrates, their eyes will win you over at first glance.
