Pepper

Decoymans Piper Bordeaux of Tollpepper

at rest now

 

 

Pet Name : Pepper

d.o.b. : 15 June 2003 - 28 February 2018

 

Pepper was our first Toller and our introduction to the breed

She was a lovely natured girl and was always a great pleasure to own. She could be totally frustrating as she would only do what she wanted to hence her affectionate nickname - 'Mrs Lazy Knickers'.

Pepper did not enjoy being 'shown' so after her first two attempts we decided that it was not her forte. We tried agility with her and on some days she was very good and in fact did get rosettes for her attempts, other days she looked at you as if to say 'why? what is the point?' Due to her age and her eyesight she finished agility competing at anysize where she enjoyed the lower jumps and could get a lovely clear round.

Pepper was also a registered PAT dog and proved to be a great success with the people she visited.

Sadly Pepper as she got older her life mainly involved sleeping and eating, her PRA has meant she has all but lost her sight and, as happens, with older dogs she is losing her hearing. Pepper gave up the fight in February 2018 and we let her go to rest. She will be sorely missed.
