Hibiscus Kennel Club held its last show for 2017 recently. Because of flooding at the Port Shepstone Borough Grounds, the show was moved to Douglas Mitchell Sports Grounds in Uvongo. Even though the wind was very unpleasant, it did not dampen spirits and as usual, South Coast dogs and handlers did well.
