Kennel Club Show
Dogs of all sizes, all breeds and all temperaments were on their best behaviour one Saturday last month when the Nelson Kennel Club held its annual show at the Richmond showgrounds. A big contingent of Marlborough exhibitors paraded dogs and other entries came from as far as Gore and the West Coast.
