Golden Acres Miniature, Petite Golden Retriever, Mini Goldendoodle Puppies and Dog Behavior Specialist My Mom raised Golden Retrievers for most of my childhood.

Kristen McNitt's Dog Breading and Training Biography
Growing up in the home of a breeder I have always had a love for dogs. When I was hired at The Resource Center as an art instructor, I began to bring “Faith” my black lab in. Right away I noticed that having my dog in the room changed the atmosphere in the art room. Intrigued by the enormous difference I began to research service dogs and the qualifications they would need. I have been breeding and training dogs now for the last seven years and love it. I have become a behavior specialist for dogs and work with owners and rescues, training people how to work with dogs of all breeds and backgrounds. With my interest in training service dogs I have been breeding Petite or Miniature Golden Retrievers, and Mini Golden Doodles. Petite and Miniature Golden Retrievers are a hybrid, similar to the goldendoodles. These pups look just like a small golden retriever. This gives a great temperament and small size, but also some hypoallergenic and decreased shedding traits. Calling them goldendoodles would be misleading. They have a high percentage of golden retriever and a small percentage of poodle to create a great service dog or family pet. These pups rage between 25 and 45 pounds full grown. If you have interest in dog training or purchasing a Petite or Miniature Golden please message me.

❤️🐾 Some moments are just too special not to share twice!

A few of my favorite snapshots from Saturday’s Fast CAT adventures. 🍂

From the proud smiles and happy pups to the sweet little moments in between, these are the memories I love looking back on.

Watching Eden grow in her love for working with dogs, spending time with my mom, and enjoying a beautiful fall day surrounded by people and pups we love. 🥰

Sometimes it’s the little moments that turn into the biggest memories. ❤️

Just a little photo dump of a day that made my heart happy! 🐾💕

🐾💕 A day full of wagging tails, happy hearts, and wonderful memories!

Today we enjoyed another AKC Fast CAT adventure, and what a beautiful day it was! ☀️🍂

We got to spend the day with my mom and her dog Oakley, along with Tom and Zeus. There were plenty of laughs, happy dogs, and some pretty exciting runs!

But one of my favorite parts of the day was watching Eden. ❤️

She received another Junior Handler Award! 🏅👏

She worked with several different dogs today and even had the opportunity to help with both calling and releasing. Watching her confidence grow, seeing how naturally she connects with the dogs, and witnessing the joy she finds in learning something new makes this mama’s heart so happy.

And of course, getting to share these experiences with Grandma makes the memories even sweeter. 🥹💕

It’s not always about the ribbons or how fast the dogs run. Sometimes the greatest rewards are the memories we make, the things we learn, and the people we get to share them with.

What a wonderful day! 🐕❤️

🛁🐾 Bath time is over… but Ruby says the drying process requires a little extra drama! 😂💕

A little wiggle, a little shake, and a whole lot of doodle silliness!

Life is just sweeter with a doodle! 🥰🐶

10/08/2026

🐾💛 Is there anything happier than a Doodle running to see their favorite people?! 🥹

The bouncing ears, the wagging tail, and that whole-body excitement! 😂❤️

One of my favorite things about Doodles is how they have a way of making you feel like you’re the most important person in the world… even if you’ve only been gone for five minutes! 🐶💕

Who else has a Doodle that greets them like they’ve been gone for YEARS?! 😂🙋‍♀️

🐾💦 Dog Diving — Round Two! 💦🐾

Another successful trip to the dock, and this time we brought THREE of our own girls — Abigail, Ruby & Emmy! 🥰

And I think it’s safe to say Emmy was the star of our crew today! ⭐️

On her very first round, she got brave enough to start going into the water after the toys! Watching that confidence start to click was SO much fun. 👏🐶💦

Abigail and Ruby got their turns too, and Eden was absolutely in her element. ❤️ She even got to work on dock diving with two more of her favorite dogs, Mr. Pibbs and Zeus!

I have a feeling this “let’s just try dog diving” adventure may be turning into another activity around here. 😂

Now the question is… which Golden Acres dog is going to surprise us next?! 🐾

10/04/2026

Some moments don’t need a big story. ❤️

Just a girl, her dog, and the kind of love that feels like home. 🥹🐾

These are the little moments I wish I could bottle up and keep forever. ❤️

We tried something NEW today! 💦🐾

We were invited to come check out dog diving, and I think it’s safe to say we may have found ourselves a new hobby! 😂

Eden had an ear-to-ear smile the entire time. Seriously, I think that girl could have stayed there ALL DAY throwing toys and watching the dogs hit the water. ❤️

We’re already planning to head back with a few of our own dogs and give them a chance to try it out. I have a feeling we might have a couple natural-born dock divers hiding here at Golden Acres! 👀🐕💦

I absolutely love finding new ways for the kids and dogs to learn, play, and experience things together—and this one was a WIN.

Have any of you ever tried dock diving with your dog? And which Golden Acres dog do you think we should bring to try it first?! 😂

🐾 Macy’s Pregnancy — Week 4!

Our sweet Macy is officially four weeks along! 🥰🐶 And while there may not be much of a baby bump to see just yet, behind the scenes those tiny puppies have been VERY busy growing.

At around this stage, the embryos have implanted securely in the uterus and are developing into recognizable little puppies. Their heads and bodies are taking shape, and early development of their eyes, spinal cords, limbs and internal organs is underway. They’re still incredibly tiny, but this is one of the most important developmental periods of the entire pregnancy.

Mama may start giving us a few clues, too. 💕 She might be a little sleepier, a little more affectionate, have some changes in appetite, or simply seem a bit more mellow than usual. Some dogs show quite a few signs at four weeks, while others act completely normal.

And here’s the crazy part: a dog’s entire pregnancy is only about nine weeks — roughly 63 days! That means we’re already getting close to the halfway point. 😳

Over the next couple of weeks, those tiny puppies will begin growing much more rapidly, and that’s when we may start seeing Macy’s body change along with them.

For now, our job is pretty simple: keep Mama happy, healthy and loved while she does the incredible work. ❤️

🐾 Week 4 ✔️
🐾 Tiny puppies developing
🐾 Mama doing great
🐾 Almost halfway there!

Stay tuned because I thought it would be fun to take you along week by week and show you what is happening with Macy and her babies all the way to puppy day. 🥰🐾

Well… apparently there’s a “make me a mascot” trend, and we decided to see what would happen if we threw life at Golden Acres into the mix. 😂

I’m laughing so hard over how accurate this turned out. Puppies everywhere, training classes, homeschool books, projects, animals, a never-ending to-do list…and somehow there’s always room for one more adventure. ❤️

Golden Acres Dogs has always been so much more than a business to our family. The dogs are raised right in the middle of our real, busy, slightly crazy family life—and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’ve been a little quieter on here lately because life behind the scenes has been FULL. We’ve been homeschooling, training, working with the dogs, building things, raising animals and making a whole lot of memories along the way.

So here’s your little peek behind the curtain. 😂
Welcome to the organized chaos behind Golden Acres Dogs. ❤️🐾

Now zoom in and tell me—which detail made you laugh first? 😂

If you can find Ruby… you can find Eden. 🐾💕

These two are pretty much a package deal. Wherever Eden goes, Ruby is never far behind — usually very close behind. 😂

Homeschool days, outside adventures, barn days, or apparently just laying in the grass… Ruby has decided her place is right beside her girl. 🥰

There’s just something so special about watching a kid grow up with a dog who truly believes she belongs everywhere her person does. ❤️🐾

Does anyone else have a dog who is basically their kid’s shadow? 😂
