Member Noticeboard

Please be advised that, until further notice, judging ramps will not be in use at KCC Park or the Bulla Exhibition Centre. All judging will therefore be conducted on tables or on the ground.

If clubs are requesting setup of indoors and outdoors for a single event there will be a fee for the second set up.

Thank you to everyone who attended Big Day Out For Dogs on Sunday 14 December 2025!

Please be advised that a new Scale of Charges has been implemented effective 1 December 2025.

The updated Scale of Charges can be accessed on the Dogs Victoria website: https://www.dogsvictoria.org.au/forms/fees-scale-of-charges/

All forms that include fees have been updated accordingly. Please ensure you download and use the new versions of all forms.

Additionally, due to a significant number of declined payments, a declined credit card fee will now be applied.

Please also note that manual litter registrations will now incur a processing fee. To avoid this fee, members are encouraged to submit litter registrations via Show Manager.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We have been advised that a scam has been sent to some members from “Track A Pet” advising that their pet’s microchip number has expired.

Please delete the email if you receive it and do not click any links.

If you would like to, you can contact your local council directly to verify your pet’s registration status.

Snakes have recently been spotted around the grounds at KCC Park, near the Pavilion, so take extra care when using the grounds.

Please take extra care with your dog and yourself as we head into warmer weather.

We have been advised of a scam targeting Dogs Victoria members. A scammer is calling individuals claiming to be from Dogs Victoria, stating they are seeking a payment and requesting credit card details.

Important Information:

• These calls are fraudulent.
• Dogs Victoria does NOT contact judges by phone to request payments.
• We believe the scammers are obtaining contact numbers from the Dogs Australia website judges list.

If you receive such a call:

• Do NOT provide any personal or financial information.
• Hang up immediately.
• Consider reporting the incident to relevant authorities.

Please share this message with fellow members and stay vigilant.
