Pepper x Blue Fall 2026
Litter Information
Litter Goals:
This litter aims to produce field-bred golden retrievers that exemplifies the "dual-purpose" ideal of uniting the performance of American field lines with the original genetics of a UK pedigree outcross. By centering the lineage on Pepper
(WM Farms Desert Pepper JH), we seek to capture her incredible and tireless prey drive, a fundamental trait for advanced field work. Along with introducing the structural and genetic diversity inherent in British bloodlines. When paired with Blue (Windischs Turbulent Indigo VCD2 UDX TDX MH AX AXJ WCX), a sire whose versatility is proven by his mastery in hunting, obedience, tracking, and agility, the resulting offspring are expected to exhibit strong trait retention. This litter is expected to produce puppies with the stamina, intelligence, and biddability required to excel in both competitive venues and the demanding environments of the field.

Windischs Turbulent Indigo
known affectionately as "Blue," was an accomplished field-bred Golden Retriever whose extensive list of titles, VCD2, UDX, TDX, MH, AX, AXJ, and WCX solidifies his status as one of the most versatile performers from their breeding program. Blue is the embodiment of an athletic, high-drive working retriever. His pedigree reflects a long lineage of natural hunting talent, a trait that allowed him to excel in high-intensity environments while maintaining the biddable and eager-to-please temperament that defines a field golden.
Blue's rare combination of titles represents mastery across nearly every major canine discipline recognized by the American Kennel Club. He achieved elite status as a Master Hunter (MH) and earned the Working Certificate Excellent (WCX), proving his superior ability to retrieve game in the field. Simultaneously, his UDX (Utility Dog Excellent) and VCD2 (Versatile Companion Dog 2) titles demonstrate his exceptional focus in formal obedience and tracking, while his agility titles (AX and AXJ) highlight the speed and precision.
