The Sale-Maffra & District Kennel Club was established in 1958, and in 2008 celebrated it's 50th anniversary with a panel of International judges, achieved after years of careful planning and fund-raising. The Macalister All Breeds Kennel & Obedience Club began in 1978, and is no spring chicken either, celebrating it's 30th anniversary in the same year. The clubs work together to present 3 All Breeds Championship shows each year on the last weekend in August, held at the Maffra Recreation Reserve in beautiful Gippsland.
