Before we get into the basic search of things, please note: "All puppies vary as individuals" EVEN pure bred dogs. Every line and every litter has different "personalities" and energy levels. Temperaments and personalities are very similar in our breeding dogs. MOST DOGS ARE TRAINABLE! Not all PEOPLE are! Keeping this in mind, please keep these things in focus. % of golden DOES contribute to appearance 90% of the time. It also can contribute to a larger size but this is not always or even "typically" true. Simply, in every litter we can have different sizes wether it be a pure or a mixed bred litter. SIZE is a factor, shedding level is a factor to consider also. ENERGY level that is right for your family is important. Gender is important to some but stereotyping "male vs female" is a waste of time. Puppies vary from puppy to puppy and this is not gender based. I love male and female dogs both. Neither one is better or worse. I like some males and some females......BUT not all of either gender. :O)

TEMPERAMENT

Personalities vary from puppy to puppy and are not gender based. Energy level is not gender based. Temperament is not gender based. All of our dogs are great family pets with good, gentle bloodlines. However, dogs are pack animals and if you are not a leader, you will be a follower. This makes them the boss. Please watch Cesar Millans dog whisperer videos prior to bringing home ANY new dog.

#3) Color Varies

No Guarantees that we will get a certain color

#4) Gender Varies

No guarantees that we will have a specific gender born

Miniature Golden Retriever "History" in the making:

A miniature golden retriever will be just an off shoot of what "was" called the Comfort Retriever. (We can no longer use the Comfort retriever name as it has been trademarked) We are now using the term "Comfort Golden" The same breeds will be used, The same wonderful temperaments will be chosen, the same beautiful breeding stock.

However, we would like to add MORE golden to the mix. We have high hopes of keeping the size down but some of our puppies may not be too "miniature golden retrievier" like in the first matings. We will do our best to predict sizes but the fact is........ no one else is doing this right now. We are embarking on a new and exciting adventure and we WILL have some bigger puppies along the way. Please bear with us during this time of trial and error and try not to be too critical of our shortcomings. We do not claim to be perfect.......we do however have a vision and a dream of a Miniature golden retriever. God has put us in line with great opportunities and beautiful dogs to achieve this goal :o)

He has richly blessed our lives........

 

Comfort Golden "History"

A Comfort Golden will vary by breeder slightly.

The first "Comfort Retriever" Breeder (to the best of my Knowledge and the one who trade marked the name Comfort Retriever) began by using a golden retriever and a cocker spaniel. For one reason or another they opted to stop using the cocker. Some cocker spaniels were not bred well and can be overly hyper and or aggressive. I am not sure of the particular reasoning but they then opted to incorporate the miniature poodle into the mix. This if done carefully "can" still produce a more golden retriever like coat. However, if you aren't careful, you will get doodles instead of a "comfort retriever".

Now, there are breeders that see the great family dog potential in the comfort golden but have their own variations and ideas on how to perfect it as a breed. Some will still use the American Cocker Spaniel, some the Miniature Poodle, Some the Calvalier Spaniel, English Cockers........the list is likely to grow as new people have new ideas.

Bottom line though : A Comfort Golden has always been intended to be a sweet, gentle, calm, family pet. MUCH like our beloved golden retriever is but in a smaller size. Please be aware that not all Comfort Goldens will be created alike. If the BEST tempered animals are not chosen, you will likely have temperament issues. If the breeder is just breeding because it is the "in" thing....quality will not be an important factor to them. When choosing your puppy please consider the size of the parents, the coat, the health, the temperament. If you are looking for a small "golden retriever" like pet, Then it should be as "golden retriever" like as possible.
