What are the goals of FindRetrievers.com?

 

 * To provide a complete database of over 100,000 dogs with general info on each dog. The database is built so owners can add health information (perfect for EIC data) and performance information, photographs, etc. We focus mainly on retrievers that are alive and currently running field trials and hunt tests as this is where the future of the breed lies. In addition to those dogs, we strive to provide full sire and dam information as well.  Photographs, performance records, and owner contact info on the current breeding stock is very hard to find. Our goal is to change that.


* To provide a complete directory of clubs, kennels, pros, retriever people, and vets.  These are searchable by name, location or by what venue they compete in such as field trials and hunt tests.

* To provide a state of the art News Service that is updated frequently to include stories about events, health related news, training news and more.

* To provide and innovative Event Calendar including ALL upcoming events and  links to any online entry service if available. The results calendar provides links to all dogs placing in field trials with any health data, performance data, and owner info. Hunt test results are also provided.


 

How accurate is the information?

 

Material on FindRetrievers.com may include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. All the data on each dog and/or person has not been authenticated and may not be complete.  Data has been obtained from several external resources, and FindRetrievers.com is not responsible for its accuracy. Please always verify with the original source to confirm. Changes may be periodically incorporated into this material.

 

However, our information is provided by owners like you who have an interest in providing the most up to date and accurate information as possible.  We work hard ourselves, to look at all new submissions and to fill in any missing information for each record.


 

What types of dogs are in the dog database?

 

We focus mainly on retrievers that are alive and currently running field trials and hunt tests as this is where the future of the breed lies. In addition to those dogs, we strive to provide full sire and dam information as well.  Photographs, performance records, and owner contact info on the current breeding stock is very hard to find. Our goal is to change that.

You can also search for dogs sired by a particular famous sire such as Lean Mac or Patton and see what their offspring looks like, health clearances, their performance records, and more.


 

How are dogs updated and added?  How do I add or update a record?

 

Dogs are added as requested, as they place at field trial events, and with quarterly hip updates. Health info will be verified upon addition of dog but should be verified by user with the official source, as we cannot and will not be responsible for this data.

What are the best methods to use to search for dogs?

 

Typically partial searches work best. For example, if you only know a small part of a dog's name, simply type that in and then hit search, leaving all other fields blank.  Often, the actual spelling of a dog name is slightly different from what you think it may be and therefore it is important to use a partial spelling in order to maximize your chances for the search result you want.

 

Apostrophes in a dog's name can be tricky. When searching for a dog you will have the most success by entering a partial spelling of the dog name up to (but not including) the apostrophe.



 

Why are some dogs or people that I search for not listed?

 

The dog or person may actually be in our databases but you may not have tried a partial spelling. Often people use abbreviations, or there is an apostrophe or something that prevents you from finding a record. By only entering a part of the name that you are looking for, you can often avoid this problem.

 

Although we have a database of over 100,000 records, some dogs and people are still not listed.  Dogs are added as requested, as they place at field trial events, and with quarterly hip updates. For the records that we are missing, we ask that you please send us in any information that you have.  we will then have this updated for you as soon as possible.
