Comfort Retriever
A Comfort Retriever is bred from a Golden Retriever and a Cocker Spaniel. They look a lot like a Golden Retriever, but are much smaller, maturing mostly from 16 to 17 inches tall. Comforts are super easy to train, often just doing everything, without any real training. They love people, and are super family dogs! They never tend to "run off", but prefer to stay close to their family or owner. Playful, fun dogs! Extra gentle, and great with kids and other animals. Their medium size works well as a housedog, but is still big enough to handle children. Their ears are longer then a Goldens, but not as long as a Cocker. Pretty faces, with a coat that can be trimmed, or left natural. They have hair between their toes that makes them appear to be wearing slippers. Large, but not too large, soft eyes!
About Our Comfort Retrievers
We use Golden Retriever moms, and American Cocker Spaniel dads, so that the puppies are not too big for the mom, as they could be if the Cocker Spaniel was the mom? Our Golden Retrievers are smaller, with excellant, very gentle temperments. Our main Comfort Retriever sire is Charlie, for his coloring, and excellant pedigree! Charlie was carefully choosen just to sire Comforts. Charlie is our Duke's grandson. Duke may also be used from time to time. With Duke as the sire, we are able to get other colors of Comforts, besides the typical golden colors. We love the variety of colors, and now spotted patterns are even being produced by breeding 2nd generation Comfort Retrievers!
AKC American Cocker Spaniel, "Reese's Duke of Dakota", AKA "Duke" is a Sable Male.
Duke is an unusual and beautiful Sable colored Cocker. He is a very curious little guy! His nose is right by everything that we do, whether it be digging holes for fence posts, or underneith a car, or anything else. He loves people, all people! He enjoys car rides, and looking out of the window, and is learning basics in obedience. Dukey's ultimate favorite pasttime is going on ATV rides. When crossed with our Goldens, we get some more unusual colors out of Duke.
