Banks
GCH CH SHR Thornhill’s Cash Me If You Can CGCU
HRCH “Cash” MHR x HRCH CH “Kit” MH MHR
Whelp Date: September 25, 2017
Banks came to join the Shadow Hill Retrievers family November 2023, to further his training in the field and continue his campaigning in the show ring. Banks earned his AKC Grand Championship and ranked as #5 Boykin Spaniel in the 2020 AKC National Owner-Handled Series. Banks is a powerful example of the Boykin Spaniel breed, with a strong natural desire to hunt and style that is smooth and effortless to watch. Banks’ dam “Kit” was the first Boykin Spaniel in history to ever attain both Master Hunter Retriever and Master Hunter Upland titles. Having received his acceptance letter to Westminster 2024, Banks is a once in a lifetime dog and a beautiful representation of the Boykin Spaniel breed. Owned by Leslie Kern, Brian Parker and myself, I look forward to continuing Banks’ legacy of excellence.

Rougaroux
CH HR KJW’s Ragin’ Cajun Rougaroux CGC TKN
“Marc” x “Molly”
Whelp Date: March 25, 2020
Roux earned his Seasoned Hunting Retriever title by the age of 2, and spends the Fall and Winter seasons as my personal hunting dog. Watching Rougaroux work in the field is poetry in motion, as stylish as he is methodical. At the 2024 SBSC Winter Roustabout, Roux took 1st place— finding, flushing and retrieving all three quail in only 2.51 minutes. Roux is as equally talented of a waterfowl retriever as he is a flushing dog. He is highly intelligent and a natural problem solver, handling well through heavy cover and thick lily pads. Obtaining higher level hunt test titles, multiple field trial placements and the conformation Champion title, Roux is the epitome of a versatile dog and the quintessential Boykin Spaniel.

Rochambeaux
AKC Major Ptd. SHR Shadow Hill’s Bawlistic I Call The Shots CGCU TKN
SHR “Jake” x CH SHR “Rita”
Whelp Date: December 26, 2022
The name Rochambeaux originates from the game of “rock-paper-scissors” as historically, players would shout “Ro-Cham-Beau!” to call their shots. Powerfully built, he commands attention with his movement and confidence… having a natural “swagger” about him. Rochambeaux was one of the 13 dogs to complete the fifth and final series of Novice at the 2024 BSS National Championship at the incredibly young age of 15 months, out of 78 dogs. He is a consistent player with pin-point marking ability and a strong desire to please. Ro hit the ground running in the show ring as well, earning his first AKC 5-pt Major Win by going Winners Dog at merely 6 months old. With type you’ll treasure, Rochambeaux’s profound natural ability comes from generations upon generations of real hunting Boykin Spaniels. We cannot wait to see what the future has in store for him.

Stetson
Thornhill’s Rhinestone Cowgirl
HRCH UH “Wally” MH x CH “Cuvee”
Whelp Date: September 12, 2023
To know Stetson is to love her. The first pick female from her litter, Stetson caught my attention immediately with her fearlessness—seeming to not know her size compared to the world around her. She was the “bully” of the litter, which is what I always look for when evaluating any litter of potential working dogs. Stetson took to water like a fish at a very young age, and was confidently carrying around drake mallards at only 9 weeks old. It has been apparent from the start that this puppy will be capable of excelling in anything she pleases, as her willing temperament, confidence, capacity and drive leave doors wide open. The sky is the limit for Stetson and obsessed would be an understatement… we absolutely smitten with this little girl!
