Cash has been a fun dog to own and love.  He is retired now as a stud, but is still hunting strong at the age of ten.  He is used as a guide dog here on the hunting preserve and also is loaned out to our good friends - who take him on many wild pheasant hunts.  He is an excellent natural retriever and LOVES to water retrieve.

A good story to share about trying to get a show championship while hunting a dog is this:
Cash was in the middle of his show career in the fall of 1995.  He had 7 points and one major under his belt - but it was hunting season, so we headed out on our annual pheasant hunting trip to Nebraska - with Cash (among many others) in tow.  On the second day of the trip - we hunted a huge cattail swamp and when Cash came out of that, I knew his show career would be on hold for a while.  He was absolutely covered with cockle burrs and every other kind of seed and burr you could think of.  It was going to be a LONG night CUTTING them out of his coat!! 

Well, I attempted to show him that following winter and spring with very little coat and damaged coat to boot.  Not a point was given to him.  Then, in July of 1996, at the Duluth, MN, Shows, with his coat back in shape, he took back-to-back 4 point majors to finish in one weekend!  I wouldn't do it any other way - life is too short to have your dog miss out on even ONE hunting season!!
