FEEDBACK & CORRECTIONS | |
If you are enjoying Retriever Results, it's probably because of all the great suggestions and comments we receive from readers like you. Got a comment? Please send it to us.
Retriever Results readers are passionate about our sport. To honor that commitment, we work hard to gather data, build algorithms and create analyses that celebrate accomplishments in AKC Field Trials and Hunting Tests. We also do our best to publish information quickly.
It's a challenge to balance speed of publication with accuracy. Most of the time, that effort pays off with useful and precise information. But sometimes we miss the mark. If information is missing or incorrect, please let us know.
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.
Thanks for supporting Retriever Results! |
