Y'all've probably heard the same thing: "If you're lucky, you get one really good dog in your life." It's true. There'll probably be a standout among all the rest. Such was Dexter to pro retriever trainer Curtis Lindsay. Y'all ain't going to believe this story. You've got to hear it to believe it. Curtis talks about traits that matter most, what you can train, what can't be trained, and how our beloved hunting retrievers differ from hunt-test and field-trial dogs. And then we get into the story of Dexter. Dex the Wonder Dog--an all-heart Labrador pup that defeated all odds, became a real-deal duck fetcher, and stole his owner's heart like none other. Yours, too, I'd bet.
