Dakota Sport Retriever
A Dakota Sport 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. Dakota Sport Retrivers 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 Dakota Sport Retrievers
Most of our Dakota Sport Retrivers are bred as 2nd generation, using a Dakota Sport Retriever to a Dakota Sport Retriever. We do have some that are bred as 1/2 Golden Retriever, and 1/2 American Cocker Spaniel. However, we do prefer the 1/2 Golden Retriever, 1/4th American Cocker, and 1/4th English Cocker, as most of our puppies are bred. This gives us the ideal look, coat, temperament, and easy trainability that we are thriving to achieve. We do still breed a few 1st generations Dakota Sport Retrievers using our 2 female Golden Retrievers with Phoenix or Tux our Colonial Cocker males. (A Colonial Cocker is an American Cocker and English Cocker cross.)
