About Arrow
Taylormade Red Daddy Arroe
Meet Taylormade Daddy “Arrow Smith of Red Rock”
Call Name: Arrow
Birthday March 9th, 2025
Arrow is an exceptional Miniature Golden Retriever who embodies everything families seek in a companion dog—an affectionate, steady temperament, a perfectly manageable size for home and travel, thorough health testing, and a lovely, low-maintenance coat. He represents the culmination of many years of intentional, careful breeding focused on sound health, reliable temperament, and predictable, family-friendly traits.
Size & Structure
Adult Weight: ~19 pounds
Height: ~13 inches tall
Arrow is that perfect small size makes him an ideal fit for a wide range of homes, from active families to those wanting a smaller Golden Retriever without sacrificing personality.
Color & Coat
Color: Dark gold red
Coat Texture: Straight, soft, and luxurious
Shedding: moderate shedding
Arrow carries one copy of the low-shedding gene (CT), meaning he has one copy of the low-shedding gene and one copy of the heavy seasonal shedding gene. While this genetic combination typically results in moderate seasonal shedding, Arrow personally sheds less than many Golden Retrievers. His coat is exceptionally soft to the touch and easy to maintain with regular brushing.
We do not recommend shaving a Mini Golden’s coat, as the double coat provides important protection and insulation year-round while helping regulate body temperature.
Health Testing
Arrow is thoroughly health tested to ensure he passes on the best possible foundation to his puppies. His testing includes:
Embark Veterinary DNA Profile
PennHIP
OFA evaluations for elbows, patellas
OFA eye and heart clearances
This extensive testing gives families confidence in both his long-term health and the puppies he produces.
Temperament
.Arrow is friendly, endearing, and full of personality! He loves to roll over for a belly rub whenever he sees us and is always up for a game of fetch. For such a small guy, he is incredibly athletic and makes a great running buddy.
We carefully select dogs for our breeding program with good temperaments, and Arrow is a wonderful example of the qualities we value. He is excellent with children and loves playing with them and simply being near them. He gets along beautifully with our other dogs and truly is a friend to all. His happy, affectionate, easygoing nature makes him such a joy to have around.
Genetics & Breeding Program
Arrow’s DNA confirms a true Miniature Golden Retriever blend, combining the Golden Retriever for temperament, loyalty, and trainability with Poodle genetics to enhance intelligence, reduce shedding, and further refine size.
We are honored to collaborate with other responsible breeders to bring valuable outside lines into our program and continue improving the health, temperament, and genetic diversity of our dogs. We are especially grateful to partner with Big Hearted Breeders in welcoming Arrow to our program. His addition brings new genetics to our Taylormade lines, helping us maintain a diverse gene pool and thoughtfully strengthen each generation moving forward.
