What do you actually get for that price?

Every Crockett Pups Mini Golden Retriever comes microchipped, genetically tested, and raised in a family home — not a kennel.

A health guarantee is also available, covering up to 12 years — but it is conditional on the owner meeting specific care requirements, so be sure to review the full terms before purchasing. Puppies are family-raised and socialized from birth, which makes a real difference in temperament and adaptability.

Is a Mini Golden Retriever a good fit for Boston families and apartments?

Yes — Mini Golden Retrievers are one of the best apartment-friendly dogs available. At 25–35 lbs and 14–18 inches tall, they fit comfortably in Boston condos, townhomes, and apartments without the space demands of a full-size Golden Retriever. They reach their full adult size at just 10–12 months.

They are affectionate, intelligent, and easy to train — traits that matter in a city environment where good behavior in elevators, on the T, and around strangers is non-negotiable. They're also great with children, making them a strong choice for Boston families of all sizes. Learn more about mini golden retriever temperament before you decide.
