Hello Spotter Fans!!
Yes! The Spotter team wants you all to know that there will be a Summer issue!! The summer issue will be special and we are calling it “The Historical National Specialties” issue. Even though we are disappointed that we will be missing this year’s National Dalmatian Specialty, we have decided to make this summer issue - one of many past Nationals memories..including the cover. Our summer cover will be an historical reflection of photos from many past DCA Specialty winners.

Specialty Memory Ads

We can do that! Contact Jennifer for pricing details.

What made it so special? A special win? Did you find that special dog? Did you make some new friends? Did you learn something new? Did you have a great conversation with someone? We will put in as many memories as we can..no pictures please.. only the words that made it special. We will use as many as space permits.
