Membership Benefits
Our Purpose…
Joining SCOA helps you understand not just your own beloved Spinone, your line, or the dogs in your chosen activity, but the breed as a whole, its history, its function, its current state of existence, and where it’s headed.
Our Members…
Spinone people tend to be much like our dogs. We’re friendly, easygoing, stubborn at times, and unique. We come together to understand the breed on all its merits — hunting ability and style, proper structure and temperament, and health issues.
Why Join?
Membership gives you a voice in the direction of the club and the breed as its future is everyone’s responsibility. We rely on long-term members to set a high standard and welcome the energy and solutions from newer members.
What’s Next?
Newcomers to Spinoni are initially attracted by their human expression and calm personality. But they fall in love with this cooperative breed and go on to train or test them at a higher rate than many other breeds.
