The majestic Goberian, a cross between the Golden Retriever and the Siberian husky, gives you the best of both worlds. Imagine having sunshine and a snowstorm at the same time. If you are planning to own a Goberian, then you should be a bit careful. Ask previous owners, and they would unanimously agree, Goberians are known to break the rules.
For instance, they just would not like to stay in their neat boxes, or listen to all of your commands and perform them accordingly. They will have their ways of doing things, and believe it or not, majority of the dog lovers appreciate them for this habit. Feeling confused? Then let us elaborate and it should be an eye-opener whether you want to get the Goberian as your most special companion.
Goberians can be lazy and equally energetic
Usually, when we consider picking up a breed, we tend to inquire whether it is a couch potato or a bundle of energy. Of course, most breeds are either of the one, but the Goberian can surprise you. You will notice, they are zooming around in the lawn and the very next moment, you will observe it is cuddling beside you like a sleepy dog. This random shift of character makes them very unique. They can make their owners sweat it out when they actively perform physical activities and at the same time take a nap beside you for several hours. So, here is the first rule they break, about their energy levels which as you can see, is dual.
They are very smart for simple training
Naturally, you will bring a Goberian pup at home. If you thought, like all other dogs, these little cuties would be obedient, then you are mistaken. The Husky becomes dominant in their mind and they will be always up to some mischief. The other trait makes them very smart and they will learn at a rapid pace. Goberians can even interpret your commands in their own way. So, do not be surprised, if you find them doing additional things when you ask them. So, here again, we can notice, they break another rule which is dogs obey and do as their owners command.
Goberians redefine the meaning of loyalty in their own way
Goberians can very soon become emotionally attached to humans which the reason is making them the most lovable pets. However, they are not clingy like other breeds. While you can notice affection in their eyes and them following you everywhere, they will not come and cuddle up when you do. As mentioned before, it all depends on their mood. Here again, the traits of Husky become predominant, so it is like they will always remain loyal, but are seldom ready to compromise their independence. So, here goes another rule affectionate dogs will always want to spend time with you.
Shedding season can invite trouble
One of the main characteristics of the Goberian is its stunning soft and fluffy coat. When it is matched with striking blue or dual-colored eyes, their appearance seems out of the world. However, things can soon get out of hand when they shed. Be prepared to find their hair all over your clothes, your favorite coffee, and even in your mouth when you wake up in the morning. Despite such heavy shedding, their looks don’t get compromised. You will still find it difficult to take your eyes off your loyal companion. So, here is another rule that goes down, beautiful dogs do not look unless you go for high-maintenance. Regular grooming is all you need to make them appear good.
They socialize on their mood
Goberians have a reputation for being incredibly social. They love kids, other pets, and even people who visit from outside. They will never be tired of wagging their tails to strangers. However, they can all of a sudden be gripped by a sense of being alone, and you cannot make them socialize once they do not have the urge. It is like, they will greet everyone at a party, and suddenly they will turn away trying to be aloof from the chaos of the party events. The rule that we know so far, is that friendly dogs would always be with you, no matter what is not applicable to them.
Alertness to mockery in a matter of minutes
Being loyal, Goberians would do everything in the interest of their owners. So, for instance, if they are shouldered the responsibility of guarding the gates, they will do it with ease. But, when it feels a mood change, it can immediately start doing goofy things while making weird sounds, or even trying to catch its own tail. As you can see, this duality is inherent in their character, and one of the main reasons that makes them so loveable. So, the rule, that protective dogs are always serious doesn’t apply to them.
They are equally adventurous and gentle
Perhaps the Siberian traits make them eager to remain in contention for daily adventures. Most dog owners understand this. Once they are in the mood to get physical activities, there is nothing stopping them. That does not mean, their energy levels will make them crave more. They can even roam away from their owners following a trail but after a while would return waging their tail. As if they are now relaxed and have a story to tell. The bond with their owners is never broken. So the last rule that they break is, that adventurous dogs can be very hard to bond with.
Rule-breakers make the ideal companions (but not for all)
After understanding the unique qualities of a Goberian, it is up to you to decide if it would serve you the best. According to the experts, Goberians aren’t for everyone, as they are not predictable. Since they shed a lot, they are not low-maintenance either. Lastly, they will never settle for boring or monotonous routines. Individuals who are ready to blend with the lifestyle of a Goberian, can consider raising a pup, and they will love every bit of it.
