Ben was purchased from his breeder, R. Dutcher, and began to show above average performance as a puppy. Ben was the Minnesota State Derby Champion. As a field trial dog he was the high-point golden for a number of years and won many trophies during his distinguished career. Having qualified four National Opens and two National Amateurs and accumulated 90 All-Age Points. Ben at the time of his retirement was the fourth all-time high point golden. He excelled in Field Trials, but his greatest desire was hunting pheasants and holding them on point and was exceptionally intelligent and above all things was loving and playful to each member of the Frisbie family.

Ben was bred about 10 to 11 times according to k9dat.com producing AFC Ben's Enchanted Glory, Ben's Enchanted Budweiser the 1981 high point derby, and some QAA dogs.
