Retriever News Policy on Obituary Notices for Dogs

Policy on Obituary Notices for People in the Retriever Sport
​The editors of Retriever News request that family members having knowledge of the death of any person in the Retriever sport, report that information promptly, so that due notice can be published. Such information has news value to the friends and acquaintances of the deceased, therefore Retriever News will grant a 1/8 page space for the first obituary submitted by a family member, without charge, for such announcements. If additional space is requested by family, friends, or clubs, they will be billed at our regular advertising rates.

Other requests received for testimonials or expressions of sympathy will be billed at regular advertising rates. These later requestors will be so advised.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact our office and speak to Sara Sommerfeld 262-278-4201
