The KZN Breeders Stars Shine Bright

St John's Ronnie's Candy a multiple award winner

The KZN Breeders Awards function for the 2019/20 season was held at the Nottingham Road Hotel on Friday evening.

The theme was ‘A Touch Of Tweed’ and despite the lockdown restrictions and social distancing, it was a typically intimate gathering of the local band of breeders and guests, including sponsor representatives, to celebrate the nationwide successes of the  #KZNbred.
