This eye-catching crossbreed, known as the "Golden Aussie," is turning heads with its distinctive looks.
Meet Goose the Golden Aussie
Goose features on his owner Brandy Clark's TikTok account and has been making waves since a video of him was posted in July.
His unusual appearance, characterised by black and white fur, a greyish-blue coat, and striking black spots, has earned him widespread admiration.
Fellow dog lovers have described his fur as looking like "cookies and cream," while his white mane gives him a lion-like look.
Beautiful coat and loveable personality
Goose's mother is a purebred Golden Retriever, while his father is a blue merle Australian Shepherd. This combination gives Goose his striking coat and playful personality.
TikTok users have flooded the comments with their own experiences with similar breeds. One user noted, "We have the same breed! But mine's black," while another shared, "I had an Aussie/golden. He was gold-coloured. He wanted to bite everyone."
The Golden Aussie first appeared in 2007 and continues to charm dog lovers with its blend of the Golden Retriever's friendly nature and the Australian Shepherd's energy.
