We have started to work on the development
of a Miniature Retriever !
.
Our
goal is to produce a replica of the full size Golden Retriever,
but in a smaller to much smaller package!

If
you are like our family, you LOVE LOVE LOVE Golden Retrievers. But
if you are also like us, you don't necessarily care for their LARGE size!
.
After much careful planning our very first
litter of puppies that we had was born in 1989. Which means we have over 35 years of experience with dog breeding and
dog breed development. Over the course of those 35+ years we have worked with a few different breeds. In 2005
we started working with the Golden Retriever / Mini Poodle hybrid creation for Goldendoodles. In 2011 we expanded on
those Golden/Poodle genetics to develop our own line of Miniature Golden Retrievers.
.
As of 2025 most
all of the Mini Retriever puppies that we offer for sale have a MINIMUM of 64% Golden Retriever in their background and
the highest is 72%. Most all of the pups that we offer for sale are the result of a Mini Retriever being bred to a Mini
Retriever (sometimes we breed a Mini Retriever male to a smaller purebred Golden Retriever female) . Our pups
are a part of an advancing "breed" creation. As a Professional Canine Breed Developer, our
goal is about the continual advancement and betterment of this breed. Each litter is planned to combine certain
specific qualities of two different parent dogs and lineages so that WE can choose a puppy from resulting litters
that presents with the qualities that were strived for. The pups we choose for ourselves will become a future
parent dog to continue the advancement of our very unique and rare breed of dog. This is history in the making.
(P.S. ALL dog breeds were created by "humankind". Look into the background of any breed and you will
find the original people that were crossing "this with that" to get "a new breed" that had certain characteristics
that were desirable to them and their situations. So everyone can thank the dog breeders that went before us for creating
all of the wonderful dog breed choices that we have today. )
.
In general, our Mini Retrievers are fabulous dogs, smart, sweet natured, loving that have
proven to be great with children and other pets. We personally raise our dogs up with cats and they all get along fabulously.

On average,
for 2025, our Mini Retrievers range in the 30 - 40 pound range. But on occasion we can get a very small toy sized that
are 18 pounds and at times a very large size as well. On the high end we can get 60+ pounds. (Still that is 25
lbs. smaller than an 85 pound Golden Retriever !) Our aim is to consistently be in the 32 - 36 pound range.
