  Let $(G,\tilde{G})$ be a reductive dual pair over a local field ${\Fontauri
k}$ of characteristic 0, and denote by $V$ and $\tilde{V}$ the standard modules
of $G$ and $\tilde{G}$, respectively. Consider the set $Max Hom(V,\tilde{V})$
of full rank elements in $Hom(V,\tilde{V})$, and the nilpotent orbit
correspondence $\mathcal{O} \subset \mathfrak{g}$ and $\Theta
(\mathcal{O})\subset \tilde{\mathfrak{g}}$ induced by elements of $Max
Hom(V,\tilde{V})$ via the moment maps. Let $(\pi,\mathscr{V})$ be a smooth
irreducible representation of $G$. We show that there is a correspondence of
the generalized Whittaker models of $\pi $ of type $\mathcal{O}$ and of $\Theta
(\pi)$ of type $\Theta (\mathcal{O})$, where $\Theta (\pi)$ is the full theta
lift of $\pi $. When $(G,\tilde{G})$ is in the stable range with $G$ the
smaller member, every nilpotent orbit $\mathcal{O} \subset \mathfrak{g}$ is in
the image of the moment map from $Max Hom (V,\tilde{V})$. In this case, and for
${\Fontauri k}$ non-Archimedean, the result has been previously obtained by
M\oe{}glin in a different approach.
