On June 6, 1998, we adopted a 9 week old English Springer Spaniel puppy.  The boys named him Pepper  Ray Tyson Lachance.  See why here
On these pages are some of the best pictures of the pup and his boys.

The name:  Pepper Ray Tyson

Pepper's name pays tribute to both of his parents.  His Sire is named Flint Hill's Billy Ray, and his Dam is named Pocohontas Michelle.

  • Pepper = Fits his color and his feisty spirit
  • Ray = From his Dad's name
  • Tyson = We were going to use Mike, from his Mom's "Michelle".  But when we first met him, he was nibbling on his sister's ear.  So we decided to call him Tyson, in honor of the ear-biting Mike.   Editor's note:  His nibbling never stopped!
