The original Golden Child is a dwarf, that is true. However, because it's such a popular morph that has been out crossed as much as it has, it's dwarf genes are pretty much non existent now.
If you want a smaller golden child, you should buy a dwarf that's at LEAST 50%. Otherwise you'll have no idea how big the previous parents were before the dwarf localities were bred into it. While this is also true with one that's 50% or more dwarf, at the point where it has that much dwarf, it's going to (likely) counteract with the (potential 16-18ft mother/14-16ft father etc) older genes.
