Congratulations to this years National Amateur Field Champion NAFC FC Fourleafs Ice Breaker, “BUSTER,”

Buster has 75 all-age points and has qualified for six Nationals. He is special to Cashman Kennels because his bloodlines go back to our first breedings. Matt’s first dog “Lady Natasha Whispering Cane” was bred to “Full Choke of Chub Lake”. We kept a female name MHR Lady Luka of Lennon Lake MH. We bred Luka to our imported stud dog “MHR Wyvernaxe Audley MH” (Brock). This breeding produced “CPR Royal Knight of Champlin MH” This was Brock’s very first litter and Greg Oothoudt’s first dog. We also co-owned “2001 NFC Cashman’s Fat Lady Zingin” (Zinger) with Greg. Greg purchased “Black Gold‟s Markin Marti” from the repeat breeding of Zinger. Marti X Knight’s breeding produced “Red Cedar River Queen” (Gypsy). Gypsy is the Mother of Buster. We are proud to have played a part in Buster’s line and would like to also congratulate the owner and handler Pete Hays, trainer Wayne Curtis and Fourleaf Labs.

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.

At thirteen years old, our dog Taxi was chosen to be on Loyall brand Senior dog food bag. She has been everything we hoped for when we had her litter over fourteen years ago.  Taxi had an incredible amount of heart and hunting drive. She loved the hunting and hunt test game and was a real natural at both receiving her AKC Master Title at two years old.  She was also a cherished part of our family that can not be replaced. Taxi, you will live on forever in our hearts.....we miss you girl.    CP Cashman's Call Me a Taxi MH       2/28/1995--4/23/2009
