Doctor Dan Junior MHLindsay grew up in American Fork, Utah. There were plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Hunting was what Lindsay loved most and he learned at an early age that a well-trained retriever was essential to an enjoyable day in the field. Lindsay’s first retriever was a chocolate lab named "Doctor Dan Junior MH". Lindsay was happy to discover that the American Kennel Club (AKC) had started Hunt Tests for retrievers and became actively involved with the Wasatch Hunting Retriever Club. “Doctor Dan” became the first chocolate lab in the State of Utah to achieve the prestigious AKC Master Hunter (MH) title.

From there Lindsay moved to California where he trained for two years with Professional Trainer Grady Istre of Reibar Kennels and Paul Roberts of Wild Wings Kennels. 

As he continually strived to improve his program, Lindsay traveled to Wisconsin to attend Mike Lardy’s Advanced Retriever Training Workshop in July of 2005. Mr. Lardy has won the National Retriever Championships an unprecedented 7 Times and is the leader in Retriever Trainer Education.
