An ANKC initiative.

 
     
     
     
     
     

 

 "Our primary objective is to promote in every way, the general improvement of pure bred dogs,
responsible dog ownership and the varied roles in which dogs contribute to today's society."

 

 

The following information is being prepared for all dog owners as part of our responsibility
of promoting responsible dog ownership in the ACT and surrounding Districts.

 

 

A lot of the information is currently being reviewed & updated by our Health & Welfare and Education & Promotions Sub-committees. New information is also being prepared by the different dog sport disciplines in the ACT. All of this work is being completed by volunteers and will take a little while to complete. This means this page is a work in process, always undergoing change.

If you wish to participate and send articles or information for consideration, you are encouraged to do so.
