A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
The annual KZN Breeders awards were held last night at Granny Mouse Country House. It has been a stellar season/year for the KZN Breeders, and there was much to celebrate, thanks to the performances of Purple PItcher, Quid Pro Quo, Madison Valley, Mrs Geriatrix, Fatal Flaw, DantonfromSandton and Pure Predator – just to name a few!
