What are they Miniature Goldens Like?

WHAT ARE THEY (Miniature Golden Retrievers) LIKE? 

"All puppies vary as individuals" EVEN pure bred dogs. Every line and every litter has different "personalities" and energy levels. I have owned 11 golden retrievers in my life and all but two have been totally different!Temperaments and personalities are very similar in our breeding dogs. 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 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)

My hearts desire is not only to have a dog "look" like a golden but to essentially "be" golden in every sense of the word. Looks, temperament, disposition, personality.....only lacking in size and in health issues. Not all miniature golden retrievers are created equal. Be wise as you shop around to get the best fit for your family. :O)
