Every year at the SCA National Specialty, the Judges’ Education Committee presents a seminar designed for new judging applicants for the Samoyed Breed.
This Seminar contains three components:
- The classroom segment, with a PowerPoint presentation that covers the Breed Standard and a brief history of the Breed.
- The hands-on segment, where participants are allowed to go over actual dogs. This helps to bring the Breed Standard to life.
- The ringside observation segment, with SCA-approved Mentors chosen by the SCA Board of Governors.
Opportunities for ringside mentoring will be offered on Friday immediately after the seminar (bitch judging) and again on Saturday (Intersex) at 8:00 AM.
