The Samoyed Club of America

72nd National Specialty

October 21 - 25, 2003

Pictures taken by Carl J. Gernazio

The 2003 SCA National Specialty was held at the Riverside Convention Center, in Riverside, California. At this National Specialty I took over 900 digital photos. I will be adding photos for the next several weeks. I hope the dogs you want are included here. These pictures will be organized by date, not necessarily by class or award. I will include the names that I know for the dogs and handlers, but I will probably need your help since I do not know everyone. If you see something that is incorrect or know some names, please e-mail me. You may use any of these pictures for your entertainment. If you want to use any photos in publications, such as adds or web sites, please credit me as the photographer, also tell me, I enjoy seeing how the photos are used. If you need higher resolution images, please ask, as I have all the originals.

I was unable to take any "Sweepstakes" photos this year as I was working as the Ring Steward that day.
