The enemy is chronic inflammation: a process at the core of the bodyâs most basic survival instincts that is now believed to be at the heart of a handful of deadly diseases. Whatâs even worse â your body may already be under fire from inflammation caused by stress, poor diet and a couch-potato lifestyle. Inflammation can operate in stealth mode for years. When symptoms do finally become apparent, itâs usually in the form of diabetes, osteoarthritis or other inflammation-related diseases.
Around 3 months of age, you will notice some long hair growing in your puppy's tail. This is the beginning of his feathering. Goldens have feathers on their legs, under their stomachs, and on the tail. The adult coat begins growing on the dog's tail first and continues gradually up his body.
Our miniature golden retrievers are currently 37-75% golden retriever. (of course that is somewhat theory as the gene pool can and often does throw in its own two cents!) Our goal is to produce Miniature golden retrievers that will mature at 50lbs or less and at 20 inches or less. The preferred size would be about 30-45lbs and about 15-18 inches in height. However......there will end up being some larger ones and smaller ones too as this is a work in progress.
