We note the Club has provided written confirmation from the RASV that the national show dates will not clash with the judging of this breed at the 2022 Royal Melbourne Show.
RESCHEDULED NATIONAL SHOW: BASSETT HOUND OF VICTORIA INC The ANKC wishes to inform members the National Show to be held by the Basset Hound Club of Victoria Inc on 29 October 2021 at KCC Park, Skye, Victoria has been rescheduled to take place on 28 October 2022 at the same venue. This decision has been made as a result of Federal Government statements suggesting that international travel will continue to be difficult in 2021 and will include mandatory 14 day quarantine on arrival due to COVID-19. This would make it impractical for the Club to utilize international judges as planned for the National Championship Show.
