More: My son Jack is 17 years old. His greatest passion is duck hunting, especially with his dog, Dixie. Jack trained her himself and they loved hunting together. She was a duck dog, bird dog, pet, and best friend. She passed away in March after complications from heart worm treatment. Jack took this picture of Dixie during their last duck hunting season. Jack has started his own dog training business, Dixieland Gundogs, in memory of the best dog in the world
