What exactly is a Mini Golden Retriever — and what do you get for the price?

A Mini Golden Retriever is a purpose-bred cross, predominantly Golden Retriever × Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (95% of litters), with a small percentage bred from Golden Retriever × Cocker Spaniel. You get the beloved golden personality in a compact 25–35 lb package. Read more about what is a mini golden retriever if you want the full breed breakdown.

Puppies are fully grown by 10–12 months and stand 14–18 inches tall — manageable for Ohio apartments and suburban homes alike. Their golden cavalier lifespan of 12–15 years means you're investing in over a decade of companionship.

A health guarantee is also available, backed by up to 12 years of coverage — though it is conditional on the owner meeting specific care requirements. See the health guarantee page for full details before purchasing.

Is a Mini Golden Retriever worth the price compared to a standard golden?

For Ohio families who want golden retriever temperament in a smaller, more apartment-friendly size, the Mini Golden is an exceptional value. Standard golden retrievers from reputable breeders often cost $1,500–$3,500+, and the Mini Golden's price reflects the additional genetic testing, Cavalier cross breeding program, and family-raised environment.

The temperament is the real selling point: affectionate, highly intelligent, loyal, and famously great with children — all in a dog that weighs roughly half as much as a full-size golden. Explore the full mini golden retriever temperament profile to see how they compare.

When you factor in microchipping, genetic health testing, a conditional 12-year health guarantee, and flat-rate delivery to Ohio, the total package is competitive with any reputable small-breed breeder in the country.

How does buying a Mini Golden Retriever puppy in Ohio work?

The process starts with a $300 refundable deposit to reserve your puppy. The remaining balance — bringing the total to $3,900–$4,300 — is due before delivery or pickup.

Crockett Pups ships to Ohio at a flat regional rate, so you don't need to drive to Greenville, SC. An additional $200 applies if you're purchasing more than one puppy in the same delivery.
