We are excited for the 2024 Sea Spells Samoyed National Specialty! A great specialty needs awesome volunteers. We hope you will consider volunteering any time you are not busy with your own dogs – if you’ve got two hours, we can use you!
Thank you so much for helping out at the 2024 Specialty in Texas!
