The 2021 SBCA National Photographer was the best ever at a Saint National. He worked with the handlers to capture the best image possible of the Saint.

Saint Topic:
Have you ever wondered why certain people are in a photo? Who should be in a winning photo?
The dog
The Handler
Do you need anyone else ?
The Judge?
The Owner?
The Breeder?
A Club offical?

Do you realize the SBCA Board, several years ago mandatied everyone at the National was required to have the President of the Club , then Joan Zielinski , in all their winning photographs.

This requirement and many others orchestrated by prior Boards continue to provide barriers to improving the National Speciality and the Club in general. The dynamic 2021 Utah National was something special despite many Board imposed restrictions.
There is an election in the near future. Watch this site for some little known facts about the SBCA.
