It is a special attraction celebrating the success of the Spinone as it relates to the form and function of the breed. This event brings our community of Spinone enthusiasts together once a year to support each other through our Spinoni’s accomplishments. 

This event will be judged by three judges. All dogs will be scored. The dog with the highest accumulation will be the winner, there will also be a “Peoples” choice winner by popular vote.

Enjoy watching this Salute to the Spinone at your ringside dining table. What a fun way to celebrate Spinone, watch entrants, visit with friends …. Cash bar on site.

You already know that your puppy is the absolute cutest. So why not share his adorableness with the rest of the world? Enter him in an AKC 4-6 Month Beginner Puppy Competition. It’s a relaxed, stress-free way to make your debut in the dog show world.

While children younger than five cannot participate in the Pee Wee Class Special Attraction, a club may want to offer other Special Attractions to engage children. Some clubs offer a special attraction which allows children (including those younger than five) to “show” their stuffed/toy dogs

SCOA's Bylaws require an annual business meeting in conjunction with the National and Parent Specialty Shows and other events, seminars, and hunt tests. The primary purpose is to review the past year's activities, assess progress towards the organization's mission, and plan for the future. If there is a quorum present (10% of the membership), motions can be brought to the floor for discussion and voting. When there is no quorum, it is still a chance for open discussion among members and the Board. Because our members are dispersed over the entire country, the meeting -- along with other events at the National -- is always an opportunity to have your voice heard and to hear from other members. The Board takes any input seriously and will work to incorporate what is learned at the meeting into the Club's operations.
