    Notable
    Chris Akin is the first retriever handler to compete in the Great Outdoor Games with two different dogs.

    Quotable
    "My goal is to be in the top three. I do not think I have an advantage because I have two dogs running. I think a lot of the guys are training hard and it is so close to the very end. I am showing up with two very relaxed dogs. We are exercising, are physically sound, and we will be ready to play."
