Revival of a Grand Old Name
Thanks to Mary Lynn Metras for posting a link to this SI story about Augie Belmont and Soupy at the 1967 National Amateur in McCall, Idaho. 
 
Homeward Bound! - Updated Link

CORRECTIONS & AMPLIFICATIONS
We strive to deliver accurate information quickly, but from time to time, we make mistakes.  And when we do we update the database, we also update the copy of this newsletter that's on the website and then publish the correct information in the next edition of the newsletter. In addition, many of the Rankings depend largely on the handler and whether that handler is an amateur or a pro.
 
If you believe a results or handler is listed incorrectly, please let us know!

You are receiving this email because you registered with RetrieverResults.com, expressed interest in the web site or your dog placed in or finished a recent event.  If you no longer wish to receive this email, unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of the page.  This will not affect any account you may have with RetrieverResults.com.

 

Data in RetrieverResults are drawn from print, telephonic and electronic sources we believe to be reliable.  When the source material lists two handlers, we generally take the first one unless we have direct knowledge of who handled the dog. To correct any errors or omissions, please use the feedback link on the website or send an email to feedback@retrieverresults.com.
