Hibiscus Coast Kennel Association Shows. This was a one day event with 2 shows back to back...exhausting! The humidity was incredible in the morning as exhibitors trundled dogs and gear through the freshly mown grounds...taking grass cuttings everywhere! The drizzle gave way to intense sunshine in the afternoon and doggy wet coats and covers in all colours dotted the grounds.

Barney: Show 1: Junior Dog, Dog CC and Best of Breed.
