Hickory is a first generation mini golden retriever, and at 45 lb, is what we consider a medium size mini golden. With the average size of a full golden 60-90 lb, Hickory is still close to half the size of a lot of full size golden's. With his luxurious deep red coat he adds variety of color, and carries a strong golden retriever conformation that works well if you don't need to have the smallest size possible. His calm reserved personality makes him a great fit for a laid-back dog that thrives on human attention and will adapt to any activity level.
