24.01.2022 The Committee of ABKA is small but we have worked hard to contract judges from WA for our February show who have not judged in Tasmania previously, which has been quite costly for the Club. We hope you will support these judges with a good entry. We would also appreciate any assistance from club members or exhibitors who could spare some time and could help out on the day.... Jenny will be running her usual high quality canteen and would appreciate some help. Please feel free to contact Jenny on 0475 423 567

17.01.2022 A massive thank you to Brigette Bryson for her time yesterday sharing her wealth of knowledge and skill to conduct our handling clinic. We had awesome feedback from participants and I think everyone who participated enjoyed their lesson and took something away. The rain stayed away for most of the day with just a few of us ending up rather wet at the end of the day. :) Thanks to those who came along, some travelling considerable distance. Brigette will be back next year to another clinic, spaces will be limited with individual classes offered rather than small groups.

12.01.2022 Finished judging by carlight LAUNCESTON.-A circle of cars with headlights full on provided illumination for the judge when the Coronation dog show continued in ...the dark in Launceston oh Saturday Extensive entries provided keen competition in most classes and gave the judge (Mr. G. W. Ross, N.S.W.) a busy time. One of the most successful shows in Launceston for sometime, it was organised by the All-Breed Kennel Association.It attracted entries from all over Tasmania, and in particular from Hobart and the North-west Coast. The award for the best in the show went to Mountroyal Sunny Boy, a Pomeranian owned by Mrs. A. W. Whitton, of Hobart. This toy has never been beaten. From the Advocate May 1953
