Handling the comfort retriever

Miniature golden retriever is not a purebred and like all cross breeds or designer dogs, their traits cannot be precisely predetermined. Purebreds on the other hand are dogs that have been bred over time and their traits are well known and predictable.

When purebreds are crossed to produce designer dogs like the comfort retriever, the resulting dogs may vary from one to another even among pups of the same litter. This is largely influenced by the dominant genes of the parent breed(s) in the particular offspring.

To effectively care for designer dogs, one must study the different parent breeds of the designer dog and apply the solution that work for the parent breed to the designer dog in the areas where the parent breed is dominant in the designer dog. This is because designer dogs like the miniature golden retriever will end up having any combination of the different characteristics of the parent breeds.
