"This is Cookie at 7 months old. She loves to go fishing and swimming. When I put her out in her run to play she will call me when she's ready to come in by saying 'mama'. She likes to fetch her ball and wubba but hates the frisbee."

Callie the Golden Cocker Retriever, which her breeder calls a "Dakota Sport Retriever" as a puppy at 4 months old. She is 50% Golden Retriever, 25% American Cocker, and 25% English Cocker. "Callie is a light gold second generation Golden Cocker Retriever - meaning both her parents were already a mixture of a Cocker Spaniel and a Golden Retriever. She does have some English Cocker Spaniel in her too.She is a very sweet, smart, playful puppy. She is an excellent playmate with my 2 1/2 year old daughter and my older daughters love her too. She loves to carry around sticks when she is playing outside and enjoys going on a walk. She is content to sleep in her indoor doggy kennel-bed at night. She went for her first 1/2 hour jog the other day and did wonderful. I couldn't imagine a better family pet!" Bred by Dakota Winds Ranch.

Primo, the Golden Cocker Retriever at 3 years old. "Primo's looks just like the purebred golden retriever that lives next door, just a whole lot smaller.  He's got the gentile disposition of his Golden Retriever friend and the up-beatness of a Cocker Spaniel."
