Alex Brittingham of ‘One Shot Retrievers’ has trained and tested many Retrievers through Senior and Master Hunter AKC hunt tests. But when it comes down to choose which dog she wants next to her in the blind and on her bed, she prefers the power, determination and pure grit that’s jam packed into the short legs and little body of a Jack Russell Terrier named Gator!
