Retriever Hall of Fame Inductions
Last weekend, the Retriever Hall of Fame inductions were held at the Bird Dog Museum in Grand Junction, Tennessee. (If you haven't been there, it's worth a visit.)
This year's inductees were:
FC-AFC Bayou-Star Beyond Independent
FC-AFC Lock Five's Got Her Blue Genes On
Laura Parrott
Jack Vollstedt
Kennel Names
One of the things we do at Retriever Results is track the type of handler (amateur or pro). And if the handler is a pro, we try to add in the kennel name. Most of the time we get the designation right and most of the time we figure out the kennel name.
Here are a few that we're missing. If anyone knows the kennel name, please send it to us.(And if the handler is not a pro, we'd appreciate knowing that too.)
Victor Esnard
Rod King
Bruce Larson
Chad Clagg
Randy Stafford

Heartworm Incidence
In addition to producing this triennial map the American Heartworm Society website has a series of maps that show how the incidence of heartworm has dramatically changed. You can see it here.
