NORDIC DALMATIAN SPECIALTY SHOW

(later in text “the show”)

Nordic Dalmatian Clubs (Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland) have agreed to publish a new specialty show concept for dalmatians. Nordic countries have strong bonds together and the concept will treasure our cooperation and unite our dalmatian owners and breeders. Perfect opportunity to get dalmatian people gathering together to these specialty shows and introduce Nordic Dalmatian breeding to each other. We hope to see Dalmatians from all around Europe, even from all around the world! Dalmatian specialty shows have a warm, heartly atmosphere like no other! It is the place to be.
