HRCH EPPeake 3-D Adventure MH
Vinny “talked” to us with his eyes the first time we met him at the Sooner RC Hunt test in Oklahoma. He crawled up into Carla’s lap and it was love at first sight!
Angel was scheduled to run the Master National in a few weeks, and we really weren’t looking for a pup at the time. Nevertheless, we left lamenting our decision not to take him home. A few days later, to our surprise, Dennis Cox his breeder called to say he was still available. I drove to Wichita from the Master National in St. Louis, picked Carla up at the airport there and out to 3-D Chesapeake Kennels we went to pick up her boy. He was to be our unplanned “Adventure” or Vinny for short.


Vinny is a powerful, athletically built Chesapeake Bay Retriever. He’s been clocked at 38 mph on police radar. He’s also known to be able to swallow a glove in a millisecond and run around with it inside him for 6 weeks. Talk about a $3500 “adventure” and a loss of 3 months of training. We would have preferred a trip to Alaska instead.
He is energetic and has a very good disposition at home and in the field. Sometimes he’s a bull in the china shop but sensitive enough to calmly enjoy the affection of babies and elderly. Fun, playful and goofy at times, but deadly serious when it comes time to retrieve. He runs with the intensity of racecar driver. Focused, full speed ahead and smart as whip.
Vinny is an AKC Master Hunter, MH title and UKC/HRC Hunting Retriever Champion, HRCH. He continues to run Master tests in order to qualify for Master Amateur & Master National events. There may be an HRC Grand or Super Retriever Series in his future as well.
Vinny is dark brown, 25 inches tall, 88 pounds of nothing but lean muscle. He is clear on all genetic health tests. Readily available at stud to bitches with health clearances/titles. Frozen semen is available.
