Throughout the 1930s and ‘40s Madeleine and James Austin campaigned some of the era’s most legendary dogs under their respective Catawba and Wissaboo banners. Of course, many famous couples have reigned at the top of the dog game. Their substantial accomplishments are generally attributed to cooperative effort.

The fancy is mourning the loss of our dear friend, Roger Hartinger. Roger passed away last week after a short hospital stay. He was 86 years old.

Roger was loved by all who knew him and will be sorely missed by the fancy. Our condolences go out to Paula and Roger’s many children, grandchildren and friends.
