The show was held at Kennel Club of Harare on the 8th of June. The day was sunny with a cloudless blue sky which is the norm here in Zimbabwe. Temperatures varying between early in the morning 16 to over 22 degree during the day. Ideal for all dogs.

The judges came from S Africa and we provided them with their ring stewards as well as people writing up the scores on the score boards, time keepers for the Dog Jumping etc. Masses of prizes were displayed on a table and prize giving was done after all Dog Jumping classes had finished.
