Miniature Golden Retriever 327

The miniature golden retriever, also sometimes referred to as a golden cavalier or petite golden retriever, is a mixed dog breed. It is a cross between a golden retriever and, most commonly, a Cocker Spaniel, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, or Mini Poodle or Poodle Mix.

This cross is meant to produce a smaller version of a Golden Retriever that retains the classic Golden look and their characteristic friendly and sweet temperament. Although a Mini Golden Retriever is not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they can be registered with other dog registries. The Dog Registry of America, Inc. (DRA) and the Designer Dogs Kennel Club (DDKC) both recognize Mini Golden Retrievers.
