Dixie is a 61 lb retrieving machine. She is very steady at the line, runs with the same speed and style to and from her marks and blinds. Dixie is a very consistent dog with great marking ability and very trainable. Dixie was originally trained for the duck blind with great success, then we began training her for competitive hunt tests, she has not let us down. She made that transition with no problems. Full of desire, very trainable, superb looks, great style, outstanding temperament and very loveable!
