By
selectively breeding some of the best of the American and English
Labrador bloodlines, Cashman Kennels' mission is to produce an amazing
all-around gun dog with sound genetics. With over 20 years of experience,
the Cashmans have successfully bred, trained and competed with some
of the most recognized field trial bred, hunt test/hunting, and
pointing labs in the country. These dogs include MHR GMPR Rik's
Risky Raider MH and MHR Wyvernaxe Audley MH (Brock). By extensively
researching pedigrees, genetic ancestry, and applying our breeding
philosophy, we offer stud dogs with excellent temperaments, natural
hunting abilities, and the classic Labrador conformation. By breeding
for standards that has set us apart from many lab breeders, we offer
a choice of stud dogs that will exceed the hunting dog enthusiasts'
greatest expectations.
Scientists at the University of Minnesota have developed a genetic test in July of 2008 for a hereditary disorder called Exercise-Induced Collapse or EIC. Karen Cashman and a representative from the University of Minnesota were interviewed by WCCO TV about this affliction. This news segment aired on September 23, 2008 and can be viewed HERE
With DNA testing and selective breeding, we can all help prevent dogs from being affected by this disorder.More information can be found on our Health Links Page.
