🇳🇿 Meet Our Judge – Bill Murdoch

We’re delighted to also welcome Mr Bill Murdoch to our January Open Shows.

Bill brings decades of experience to the panel, having first stepped into the dog show world back in 1976. Since then, he and his wife Bronwyn have been dedicated breeders, exhibitors, and administrators across several Toy breeds — and key contributors to the development of Cavaliers and Japanese Chins in New Zealand.

His extensive background includes a wide range of committee and leadership roles, as well as long-standing service on the Open Show judges panel. Bill’s knowledge, involvement, and passion for the sport make him a wonderful addition to our judging team for 2026.

We’re very pleased to have him officiating at our shows — please enjoy reading his full bio below.

🇳🇿 Meet Our Judge – Mrs Anne Phipps

We’re delighted to introduce the first of our January judges — Mrs Anne Phipps (Waikato).

Anne brings decades of experience to the panel, with a rich history in Rough Collies, Pembroke Corgis, German Shorthaired Pointers and, of course, her much-loved Labrador Retrievers. Her judging career began back in the late 1980s, taking her across New Zealand and Australia for both All Breeds and specialty shows.

After stepping back for health reasons, Anne returned to the panel in recent years and has since judged a number of significant events — and we are thrilled to have her officiating at our 2026 season opener.

Have a read through her full bio below — it’s a wonderful story of passion, dedication, and a lifetime in dogs. 🐾💜

Stay tuned for our next judge introduction!

📢 Attention Exhibitors – Possible Mistaken Payment Received 📢

We’ve received an entry payment from MJ Brown on 23 October, with the reference 23407. However, entries for our next shows are not yet open, so we believe this may have been sent in error.

We’re wondering if this payment was intended for Hutt Valley, whose entries close today.

If this was your payment, please contact our secretary ASAP at [email protected] so we can arrange a refund.

Thank you!

🌟 A Huge Thank You 🌟

To all our exhibitors – thank you so much for joining us at the Huntly & District Kennel Association Championship Shows in Otorohanga 🐾

The Otorohanga District Council and the local community have let us know how much they enjoyed hosting our show. They are especially grateful to you, our exhibitors, for supporting the town and bringing such a positive atmosphere with you.

We couldn’t have done it without you – thank you again, and we look forward to seeing you all next time! 💙

🥋 Around 15 International Dan Grade Diplomas
🥋 Two qualified Coaches & Referees (including Rangi himself, who holds an International Referee Licence!)
🥋 5 World Championship Medals – 3 juniors & 2 adults
🥋 In 2023, they even took a team of kids to Japan for competition 🇯🇵✨

Check out these awesome photos from their journey, and make sure you stop by Rangi’s truck for something delicious while supporting such a dedicated cause! 💪🍴
