HOW THE ANALYSIS WAS CREATED
To create the analysis in this report, we used material from the Master National website concerning dogs entered by flight. Information about dog breed, sex and age was derived using the Retriever Results database. Handler status was developed through a variety of sources including internet sources and information from subscribers to Retriever Results newsletters.

You are receiving this email because you registered with RetrieverResults.com, expressed interest in the web site or your dog placed in a recent trial.  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.
