This years practical exams will be held in Auckland on 15th & 16th July and in Christchurch on 29th & 30th July. This years examiners are Annette Buxton, Polly Middleton and John Stanton. Candidates require a good selection of dogs to judge and they appreciate the support they receive from exhibitors on examination day. Schedules are in the June edition of Dog World. This year for the first time credit points are available for entering and exhibiting at these shows.
