Dogs Queensland (Formerly Canine Control Council of Qld)
Dogs Queensland strives to maintain and improve the standards of breeding and exhibition of pure bred registered dogs. If you have a pedigree dog with papers and wish to breed your pet, visit Dogs Queensland for more information. Individual breeds have certain requirements such as AVA Hip and Elbow scoring prior to breeding. This is done to decrease the incidence of such serious diseases from dog breeds.
