Red Mini Golden Retrievers have taken the canine world by storm. They've captured hearts

with their adorable appearance and charming personalities. We are going to dive into the enchanting world of these pint-sized golden wonders. We'll explore their unique characteristics, origin, care tips, and why they make exceptional companions for families and individuals alike.

The Origin of the Red Mini Golden Retriever

Red Miniature Golden Retrievers are a variation of the beloved Golden Retriever breed. Golden Retrievers have a reputation for their friendly nature and intelligence. However, their red variant often carries a reputation for being higher energy and higher maintenance.

People originally bred Red Golden Retrievers to hunt and work. People bred them to be more active and to love mental stimulation so that they could do that. Because of this, placing them in homes without a lot of physical and mental activities can cause issues. 

At Big Hearted Breeders we knew we wanted a calmer version of the red Mini Golden Retriever. We brought in new red Golden Retriever lines from outside the US that were not bred to be hunting dogs. 

In addition, we combine Golden Retrievers with Spaniels and Poodles. As we do, we are selective to bring in the calmer more easy going lines. This further improves the loving, outgoing and easily trainable personality that we strive for.

Physical Features and Coat Color

One of the most striking features of Red Miniature Golden Retrievers is, of course, their captivating red coat. This unique color variation sets them apart from the traditional golden hue. It gives them a distinct and eye-catching appearance.

At Big Hearted Breeders we specialize in dark red mini golden retrievers. We do this ethically by making sure our priorities stay in line. Our priorities are health first, personality second and as a third priority we work on color. We work hard so our puppies don't have common health problems associated with the breed.

Despite their smaller size, these Mini Golden Retrievers retain the classic muscular build. They vary in size from 25 lbs to 55 lbs. Red Mini Goldens also maintain a soft and silky coat. Regular brushing helps keep their coat shiny and healthy.

Depending on breeding, red Mini Goldens can have heavy, moderate or low shedding coats. When we breed dogs, we mate parents based on genetic health testing to help with improved health as well as breeding towards low shedding coats.

Mini Golden Retrievers have 10 alleles in their genes that indicate their coat's color from cream all the way to red. Because there are 10 alleles, the coat color is scored from 1 out of 10 to 10 out of 10 red. The most common colors are from 3-6 red out of 10.

The majority of Red Mini Golden Retrievers in our breeding program have a rating of 8 or 9 red alleles out of 10. This rating indicates that their color is more vibrant, less common and more distinctive.

Temperament and Personality

Known for their friendly and gentle nature, Red Miniature Golden Retrievers are excellent family pets. They are highly sociable, eager to please, and form strong bonds with their owners. Their intelligence and trainability make them suitable for various roles, including emotional support and service dogs. Their playful demeanor and affectionate attitude make them wonderful companions for children and adults alike.

Exercise and Training

These mini golden retrievers are smaller in size. However, they still require regular exercise to keep them happy and healthy. Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation are essential to prevent boredom and ensure their well-being.

Additionally, their intelligence makes them responsive to training. Balanced training methods work best to bring out the best in these delightful dogs.
