Dogs SA

Dogs SA (South Australian Canine Association) is the official state body for pedigree dogs in South Australia, established in 1952 and based in Kilburn. The organisation focuses on maintaining breed standards and supporting the community of breeders, owners and exhibitors by administering pedigree dog registration, breeder directories and breeder registration services. Dogs SA organises and oversees canine exhibitions, conformation shows and dog sports, providing opportunities for owners and handlers to showcase dogs and participate in competitive events. They also offer educational resources and events aimed at promoting responsible breeding and informed dog ownership, and they work to connect prospective owners with registered breeders who meet recognised standards. Affiliated with the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC), Dogs SA emphasises high-quality breeding practices and the welfare of purebred and pedigree breeds through standards, guidance and community-focused activities. Whether you’re a breeder needing registration and networking, an owner interested in shows or someone seeking reliable breeder listings and breed information, Dogs SA positions itself as a central hub for pedigree dog management, education and events across South Australia.
