Dams
Our Dams - The Heart of Our Mini Golden Program
At Escondido Acres, our Dams are more than mothers—they are the foundation of our beloved comfort retriever puppies. Each petite comfort retriever mom is handpicked for her loving nature, outstanding health, and proven lineage. Their nurturing care and balanced temperament are passed on to every pup they raise, setting the tone for lifelong companionship and joy.
As dedicated mini golden breeders, we believe that great puppies come from great moms—and we’re proud to introduce ours.

F1 Kitty Lover 50/50 Golden Cavalier
It seems I always have one that is especially drawn to MRI our Ragdoll cat, and that is this little princess. She adores the cat. She is also fond of humans, both large and small. But if you have a cat and want to know a puppy, you have found your match.
She is on the smaller end of medium with a lighter frame. She should mature 25-35 pounds. This one enjoys toys and can self-soothe already at 12 weeks old, which is important if you are away at work 5 days a week. However, she may beg for a kitty sibling or another dog to play with due to her social nature. Transportation opportunities are available at the buyer’s expense with reduced delivery to Sky Harbor mid-April via Flight Nanny. Can you see her smile with the cat? More pics available.

Information on F1 Generation 50/50
Violet always has stunning, intelligent pups, and this litter was no different. Many of them have already been placed and never even got listed. They are just now coming on their 12th week and have had 2 sets of vaccines. I held them until 10 weeks due to litter size, and my physical limitations have kept advertising and sales slower than normal. This particular girl is moderate energy, playful, and should be 27 to 37 pounds as an adult.
She is the puppy that would be good in nearly all situations. From a large apartment with lots of trips to the doggie parks, since she is very social, or a 50-acre farm with livestock, as her mom is my goat nanny. Transportation opportunities are nearly always available, and we have greatly reduced delivery to Sky Harbor available for any Violet pup mid mid-April.

Love TCup Wheelchair Ready Tiny
From just nine weeks old, this sweet girl knew exactly what to do—melt gently into my chest during some of my most challenging days. As I adjusted to life in a wheelchair due to a hip fracture and a spinal tumor, she somehow understood.
Her quiet, intuitive nature brought comfort in a way few puppies ever could. She’s truly one smart cookie.
She is very small—estimated to be just 17 to 23 pounds full-grown—and incredibly mellow and empathic. Her price reflects her petite size and rare temperament. If you’re in a wheelchair or facing similar life challenges, there may be resources such as insurance assistance, grants, or even a GoFundMe option to help with adoption costs.
NOT FOR SALE
Serena - Mom to the 3 Redder Girls
Serena is an incredible mother. She gave birth to 12 beautiful puppies and lovingly raised each one—with a little help from my home cooking, even as I cared for her from my wheelchair.
Her puppies were born on December 3rd and are now at the perfect age for adoption as of mid-February. Serena weighs just over 30 pounds, making her a wonderfully sized Mini Golden with a calm, nurturing temperament.

Scarlett - Dark Red Larger 50/50 Girl
Scarlett’s latest puppy follows the rare and cherished Rosebud line—moderate, silky-coated, and even-tempered. She’s a 50/50 mix from Chunk and Serena, expected to reach about 40 pounds full-grown. Likely our last deep red pup for a while, as the summer red breeding didn’t take.
Fully vaccinated and available at a reduced pet price due to a recent ICU stay. Breeding rights offered at $3,500. Transportation is available at the buyer’s expense. Updated 3/31.
$2,000
50/50 Female - Great with Children
This sweet, affectionate girl is a perfect first pet—medium-sized (30–40 lbs), gentle, well-mannered, and ideal for companionship or outreach work. She looks like a plush lion cub and comes from Serena and Chunk. Though the sire and dam links are down, updated photos are available. The pet price is reduced due to a recent ICU stay, but breeding rights remain $3,500. Delivery is available across the East Coast, Midwest, and even through Sky Harbor or LAX with a flight nanny.
