Taupo impresses kennel club

Every dog has its day and for many it was at the New Zealand Kennel Club national dog training assembly in Taupo at the weekend.

More than 1000 dogs and 650 of their humans took part in the event. The animals competed in agility, obedience and working trials categories. Their owners were some of New Zealand's top canine taskmasters, who provide dog training classes for the public at the kennel club's 50 dog training clubs throughout the country.
