Spinone Club of America
National Specialty
April 21-29, 2007
Welcome to the 2007 Spinone Club of
America combined specialties, obedience and rally trials, hunting events,
health and various other seminars, and many other very special events to
mark our 20th year as a club. We gather again to celebrate the
versatility of our Spinone, to enjoy the camaraderie of the Spinone lovers
who are dedicated to preserving the heritage of the Spinone Italiano as a
hunter and companion. Many people have worked long and hard to make
this 20th year celebration very special, for our members, exhibitors, and
our Spinone. We thank everyone for their hard work and cooperation on the
various committees making this event possible. We also thank the people
who supported us behind the scenes to make everything possible.
Spring is always lovely in this portion of Virginia, but Mother Nature can
surprise us. Generally by the end of April we have warm sunny (not hot)
weather, but can have that occasional warm shower. We invite you to
come early and stay late and enjoy all the activities and meet old friends
again as well as making those new friends. Have a safe and pleasant
trip, and hope that your return home will be with many enjoyable memories.
