Pepper was the first real "full-blooded" retriever I had ever owned. Fortunately for me, she knew more about retrieving game than I did. Pepper was kind of like a prodigy in the dog world. She grasped the concept of retrieving at a very early age, and before she was even a year old was winning local gun dog hunt tests, usually over much more experienced dogs. Pepper also was the first retriever I owned that showed a natural tendency to point upland game, a trait that served her well during our mid-west pheasant hunts. Pepper's life was tragically cut short when she developed a condition called "bloat" that caused her stomach to twist, cutting off blood flow to the organ. Pepper was put to sleep on the operating table when it was apparent that efforts to save her would be unsuccessful. Fortunately, her pups helped establish the foundation for Back Creek Kennel and the line of retrievers that reside here today.
