1. You might have the best dog in the field back home, but that likelihood lessens with each mile driven.
2. Undersell your dog—always. He’s a better shower than you are a teller.
3. Every time you’re about to brag about your dog, stop yourself and compliment another dog’s fine retrieve from the day, instead.
4. Only the underdog can overachieve. The best the over-dog can do is meet expectations.
7. Never give another guy a hard time about his dog. Believe me, he knows.
10. When your dog leans against you, it either means that he’s trying to dominate you or that he has an itch he’d like you to scratch. Your call.
