Statistician’s Notes
(Pulls 7 thru 18)
25 November 1996
E R R O R S
Pull 7, Havelock Ont.
A new dog, an Akita named Naki and owned by Pierre Rivard, pulled in the 100-lb. class; but was reported as weighing 58-lb. In checking with the organizer, he did not have the paperwork handy; but did have a local newsletter that reported Naki as weighing 94-lb. in the pull and all the other pertinent information was as on the pull sheet. I will leave it at 94-lb. and will see if Naki shows up similar in future pulls.
Pull 10, Greeley CO
Shorty was entered as region 3. Should have been 9. Was entered correctly on the previous day.
Pulls 13 & 14, Yale VA
Dink (Ron Poitras) and Digger, Tux & Bull (Ed Demers) were entered as region 6. I believe it should be region 5 as these dogs were entered as such at the Havelock pull and they are entered as such in the membership roster. They are from Connecticut and New York, respectively.
Butkus (Debbie Lee from North Carolina) was entered as region 7. I believe this is correct and I left it as such; but she is listed as region 6 in the membership roster. This needs to be verified. Note: this is our 1st region 7 puller.
Pull 16, Terry Bison Ranch
No region numbers were listed on the pull sheet. Fortunately, all these were known handlers and it was not too hard to determine the region. It would have been a problem if there had been new handlers other than the one provisional.
