Queen x Cash puppies have arrived! 5 black females and 3 black males (chocolate factored and possible tri-factoring) were born on Feb. 9th.

HRCH Ridgetop’s Choco Cashew Pie (Cash), the sire, is proven to produce good natured pups with a ready to please attitude! He earned his UKC finished title before the age of 2 and was amateur trained. Ridgetop’s Red Hot Queen Bee (Queen), the dam, is a go getter in any hunting situation and has more bird drive than you could ever need. Cash & Queen are on site and would love to meet you. You won’t want to miss out on this breeding.
