The Patriarch Is Handling...


...Dog #57, oldest entered dog in the National and first dog after the gun change, started to pull hard left in the water when going for the retired bird, and when he exited the water, still going left, his handler Steve Ferguson put the horn on him with a few crisp casts to the bird.
