Taylormade Philosophy

Our mission is to thoughtfully combine the beauty, temperament, and charm of the Golden Retriever with improved health, a smaller size, and reduced shedding. Through intentional breeding and careful selection, we work to bring happiness, companionship, and joy to people through well-balanced Taylormade Mini Golden Retrievers.

Golden Cocker Retriever (Foundation Line)

In our original foundation lines, we incorporate carefully selected Cocker Spaniels to breed to our Golden Retrievers to create the Golden Cocker Retriever. This approach allows us to retain a high percentage of Golden Retriever genetics while introducing the softer expression, reduced size, and gentle “forever puppy” look that many families love.

Golden Cocker Retrievers contribute a naturally affectionate, people-oriented temperament and a smaller frame, without sacrificing the classic Golden Retriever personality. By using this intermediary generation, we are able to thoughtfully refine size and expression while maintaining the Golden Retriever as the dominant influence in both temperament and appearance.

This method supports our goal of producing Miniature Golden Retrievers that look and feel like true Goldens — just in a smaller, more manageable size.

Poodle Influenced lines

Rather than introducing a purebred Poodle directly, our program incorporated carefully selected Goldendoodle lines where poodle genetics are already integrated and proven. This allows us to benefit from reduced shedding, improved coat consistency, and strong intelligence while maintaining high percentage Golden Retriever along with excellent temperament and overall Golden Retriever Type.

Using the Goldendoodle influenced lines support smaller size and broadens the gene pool, contributing to lower COI, improved vitality, and long term health, all while preserving the classic look and gentle nature of the Golden Retriever.

Miniature Golden Retriever

Through intentional, multi-generational planning, the breeds and foundation lines we use come together to create the Miniature Golden Retriever — the final result of our program’s thoughtful design.

By maintaining a high percentage of Golden Retriever genetics and selectively incorporating Golden Cocker Retriever and Goldendoodle-influenced lines, we are able to preserve the heart, temperament, and classic appearance of the Golden Retriever while achieving a smaller size, reduced shedding, and long-term genetic vitality.

The result is a dog that looks and feels like a true Golden Retriever — affectionate, intelligent, and people-focused — in a size and coat type that better fits modern families. Our Miniature Golden Retrievers are bred to excel as loving companions, emotional support animals, therapy dogs, and family members.
