Golden Retrievers win people over with their boundless energy, while Bernese Mountain Dogs charm everyone with their gentle nature. Put those two together and you get a mix that feels almost too good to be true.
Meet Scooby, the Golden Berner who proves that this blend is very real. His combination of Retriever enthusiasm and Bernese sweetness has made him a favorite far beyond his own neighborhood.
From North Carolina, this pup has taken the internet by storm. With a personality as warm as his smile and videos shared by his mom that highlight his irresistible charm, Scooby has quickly become a star.
The Golden Mountain Dog
Kim, a dog owner from North Carolina, adopted Scooby when he was just a tiny puppy. Though she had an idea of what he might look like as an adult, his cuteness still managed to surprise her.
Scooby, who is half Bernese Mountain Dog and half Golden Retriever, inherited the best traits from both breeds.
The result?
A stunning black, tan, and white Bernese coat with the friendly face of a Retriever!
What about his build?
Scooby is much smaller and slimmer than a typical Bernese Mountain Dog.
In a recent viral TikTok video, titled “The fluff, the love, the perfect combo!,” Kim captured Scooby basking in the sun, casually posing like a pro model, unaware that the video would soon become an internet sensation.

The caption reads: “Ever wondered what happens when a Bernese Mountain Dog mixes with a Golden Retriever?”
The video quickly garnered thousands of reactions from people around the world, all admiring Scooby’s one-of-a-kind appearance.
Viewers were captivated by his Berner traits and his incredibly gentle face.
“This is probably the most gentle dog of all time,” one commenter said.
“Magnificent! Give me 14 of them right now,” wrote another.
“That has to be the happiest, most loving fluffunator in the world,” a third person commented.
Living His Best Life With Pumba
Scooby’s energy matches his adorable looks. He is the happiest and fluffiest dog, always eager for cuddles.
Together with his brother Pumba, Scooby enjoys spending time outdoors, playing in their large yard, soaking up the sun, and taking relaxing naps. In a recent TikTok video video, Kim shared that both Scooby and Pumba are obsessed with big, fluffy toys.
Their favorite pastime? Rolling around on their backs, and, of course, they wouldn’t mind a belly rub while doing it!
While being a Berner-Golden mix comes with challenges, like shedding, Scooby and Pumba’s sweet nature makes frequent brushing sessions an easy task.
One thing is certain: Scooby never passes up a chance to snuggle with his mom. With the cuddly personality of a Berner and the playful energy of a Golden Retriever, Scooby is truly the ideal companion.
He enjoys life to the fullest, and if he could talk, he’d probably say there’s nothing he’d change, except maybe more treats!
