There is no such thing! The only place you could find one is from a puppy mill or someone trying to make more money off of inbred runts!
Believe me, you do not want a dog from either of those situations!

There is no such thing as a "miniature Golden Retriever." No Dog Club recognizes a "teacup" or "miniature" version of a large sized dog (for example a Golden Retriever). Any breeder that sells a dog as a teacup or "miniature" in that sense is not a reputable breeder.
http://www.akc.org/breeds/golden_retriever/photos.cfm are pictures are actual Golden Retrievers, as you see here none are "miniature."
Size, Proportion, Substance
Males 23-24 inches in height at withers; females 21½-22½ inches. Dogs up to one inch above or below standard size should be proportionately penalized. Deviation in height of more than one inch from the standard shall disqualify. Length from breastbone to point of buttocks slightly greater than height at withers in ratio of 12:11. Weight for dogs 65-75 pounds; bitches 55-65 pounds.
Here's the weight that most Golden Retrievers (+/-) should be according to the AKC breed stander.
http://www.akc.org/breeds/golden_retriever/
Height: Dogs 22-24 inches (56-61cm.) Bitches 20-22 inches (51-56cm.)
Weight: Dogs 60-80 pounds (27-36kg.) Bitches 55-70 pounds (25-32kg.)
According to the dogbreedinfo.com website
There are new "designer" dogs that breeders are breeding that most people seem to believe are hypoallergenic such as a "golden doodle."
http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/goldendoodle.htm
However most dog clubs such as the AKC or CKC do not recognize mix breed dogs or hybrids. Although there are some self-made clubs that recognized this breed. They are not really any smaller than a pure bred Golden Retriever.

Steer clear from any "breeder" or pet store that claims to have a miniature Golden Retriever. Such breeders are in business to make money, not to better the breed. However, you can try to find a Golden mix. I work in Golden Retriever rescue, and we have taken in smaller dogs that look much like Goldens and have Golden personalities, but they were actually mix-bred Goldens. Try Petfinder.com to see if there are any rescues in your area that have a Golden mix that's looking for a good home.

There is no such thing. You could try your local animal shelters to see if they have a retriever mix (with a smaller breed)

Since there is no such breed, about the best you can do is to get a smaller Golden is get the runt of a litter.

Since there is no such thing, anyone claiming to be selling one is not the sort of person you want to be buying from.

Only way to get that is to try to make one by continuing to breed the smallest dogs or something
